“Where’s your… Ally?”
“I in the bed. Ally told me to shush and hide, then call Daddy.” Fear like I have never felt before courses through me. I take a deep breath and try to reign in my temper and fear.
“Is… Ally there, baby girl?” The sound of her quiet cries on the other end of the phone kill me. Bishop places a hand on my shoulder offering me comfort but it does nothing. Dread is pooling inside. Bishop pulls his phone out and calls Rook I assume.
“Daddy, I want my mommy.” Fuck me, my heart shatters inside my chest that I wasn’t there to protect her. My daughter is hiding under Allison’s bed, scared out of her mind.
“I’m coming, baby,” I choke out. “Just stay there and be quiet, okay? Daddy is coming, baby. I swear, nothing is going to happen to you or your… mom.”
Chapter15
King
Ikeep Amelia on the phone with me the whole time, her softs cries will forever haunt me. We pull up outside Allison’s apartment just as two SUV’s come from the opposite direction. I don’t wait for Bishop or my brothers as I jump out of the car. I ignore Bishop’s shouts as I race through the door and up the stairs praying to God that I don’t open her apartment and find her… body. I won’t recover from losing Allison, she is my fucking heart, my soul, my purpose! I love her as much as I love Mela and I will not live in a fucking world where both my girls don’t exist! I place my phone in my pocket and pull out my gun. I take one breath before I boot the door open and rush in. I scan side to side, checking the kitchen while Bishop and the twins, followed by Gage, Mav, Luka and a couple other guys, rush in. I take off toward Allison’s room with my stomach bottoming out on the way.
“Amelia!” I scream.
“Daddy!” I hear her cry. I bought Allison a bed on gas struts so she can store shit beneath it. I grip the handle and lift it, tears springing to my eyes as I drop to my knees and open my arms. Mela drops Allison’s phone and leaps into my arms sobbing. I hear my brothers sigh behind me in relief. I push her back and scan her from head to toe for any injuries.
“Are you hurt?” She shakes her head. “Can you tell Daddy what happened?” Her bottom lip wobbles and the tears flow faster. Knight drops down beside me and smiles like nothing is wrong, then reaches out to tuck her hair behind her ear. Her face is stained from her tears, her nose is red.
“Meelz, just tell your old man quickly what happened and me and uncle Cook will take you for ice cream and soda. But you got to promise you can’t tell your mom when your dad brings her back.” I stare at my brother in awe. He and Rook have been encouraging Mela to call Allison mom. She has slowly started to do it but has never said it to Allison directly… tonight is the first she has ever said it to me.
“I want my mommy,” she cries. Knight pulls her from me and I growl. He holds my stare as he wraps his arms around Mela.
“Trust me, brother.” I search his gaze for a second, then turn to Bishop who nods his head encouraging me to agree, so I nod. “Can you guys give us a minute.” I open my mouth to tell him to fuck off but he pushes on. “She’ll open up if she thinks it’s our secret. She thinks she’s in trouble with you and Allison, King. Trust me, brother, and I swear to you, we will getyourgirl back.” I reach out, grip the back of his neck and yank him forward. I rest my head against his.
“Find her, please. I can’t lose her, Knight!”
“I will, brother.” I stand and leave. Walking away from my daughter when she needs me the most is the hardest thing I have ever fucking done but I need to trust Knight. I stop in the living room when I see Gage squatting down and looking at the floor. Luka and Mav stand around him.
“What is it?” Gage slowly rises to his feet, the guilt in his gaze pisses me off. “Answer me!” I yell, he doesn’t flinch or recoil just nods and steps aside. I feel bile rise up my throat. Right there, next to the couch, are Allison’s panties. That’s not the worst part. Next to them is a small pool of blood. I drop to my knees and yank on my hair screaming… I should have fucking been here! They fucking took her to get to me. They wanted to hurt me so they went after my heart. They will all fucking die for ever thinking they could touch what was mine and get away with it. I give myself another minute before I slowly climb to my feet, lock down all my emotions and channel my inner beast. I’ll let him out to play for as long as he needs to bring Allison back. Gage nods in a show of respect. Luka steps forward and places a hand on my shoulder.
“I’ll head back to base and track all the cameras and get a plate to trace. We’ll get her back.” I nod unable to even speak.
“Mav, round the men up. I want a dozen guards at the house around the clock.”
“Yes, boss.”
“Find out where Michael is with Kiara. I want her inside and not in the pool house. We’re at war now, you make sure that fucking house is locked down tight. My fiancée and niece will be there, anything happens to them and I’m coming for you.” Mav nods, pulls out his phone and leaves. Bishop moves to stand next to Gage. His eyes are vacant and I can tell he has gone into beast mode like me.
“What do you want me to do?” Bishop slowly turns to Gage.
“Get back to the house, stay with Kiara.” Her grips the front of Gage’s shirt and hauls him in close. “You fucking protect her and Mela.” Gage doesn’t hesitate to agree.
“I swear to you, no harm will come to either of them, Bish.” He releases Gage and nods just as Knight walks in. I look for Rook and Mela but he shakes his head.
“I told her to wait with Rook. She’s fucking terrified, King.” I scrub a hand down my face and curse. “She’ll get through this.” I nod.
“What did she say?” Knight darts his gaze away, his hands clench into fists at his side and my panic rises inside me. “Just fucking say it.” I hate that I sound broken.
“She said Allison told her to hide and stay quiet until… she couldn’t hear her scream anymore.” I keep my emotions in check even though I want to paint the streets red with the blood of those that wronged me. “Then she told her to call you and tell you to come to her and that Daddy would… look after her. She also told Mela to tell you that she… loves you.” I can’t handle this shit. I push past Knight, run to the bedroom and grab Mela from Rook. No one questions me as I snag her teddy from the couch and walk out the fucking door. Chaos is waring inside me, the thirst for the blood of my enemies runs through my veins. I’m the underboss for a reason. I do all the gruesome things that Bishop can’t. I’m the one who makes grown ass men squeal like pigs and squeal they shall when I find them!

TWO WEEKS…
I wipe the blood from my hands on an old rag as his moans and pleas fall on deaf ears. It’s been a long time since I was able to fully let myself go and actually enjoy the misery of my victims. I look to the side to find Bishop and Gage standing in the doorway. Bish may be able to fool others into thinking he is unaffected but I can see it in his eyes that the sight of Marco Valleo has him squeamish.
