I pulled my shoulders back, knowing that this was going to go down but not willing to show any ounce of fear. I’d faced worse and I wasn’t going to let this kid think he was about to bring me down. “Just another trick, huh? When will you boys stop using women to do your dirty work?” I taunted, holding my arms wide and inviting him to take a shot.
“No,” Rose growled, narrowing her eyes at me in contempt. She moved, placing her body in front of her cousin. “We’re leaving.”
Gio ignored her, continuing to glare at me over her head. “You took our brother.”
I clenched my fists. Kenneth, or Target as he was known to the club, was an asshole. He treated women like shit, degrading them and hurting them at every chance he got. It made me angry to think that anyone could stand and speak for him considering what he did to my family.
“He was a douchebag. You should be thanking me. Now he’s out of the way, you’re next in line to take the throne,” I sneered sarcastically.
“He was my brother,” Gio screamed, raising his gun and pointing it directly at me.
I could see down the dark barrel of the gun, its depths seeming never ending. “He had a known slave trader pick up one of our old ladies and sell her to the highest bidder,” I shot back.
Rose gasped.
Good. I hope now she realized the type of people she was fighting for. The type of family she had chosen. The Brothers by Blood weren’t perfect by any means, but we had respect and we had dignity.
“Your club took one of my family,” Gio lowered his voice. His anger was gone. Now he was the perfect calm and calculating soldier his father had raised. His emotions were no longer stopping him. “Now I’m going to take one of theirs. Blood for blood.”
My body tensed, preparing for the impact.
“No!” Rose screamed and threw herself at her cousin. My body reacted instantly. She didn’t see it, but I reached out for her. Everything inside me, my instincts telling me that I needed to protect her.
That simple movement saved my life.
