Walking out the door, I heard Tessa curse as she ran to catch up with me.
“I should have the results within the next twenty-four hours, though I don’t think it’s necessary.” Dr. August Lansing said, putting the seal on the container with my DNA in it. August, or Bane to the club, was a Soulless Sinner brother and one of my best friends.
There wasn’t a childhood memory I had that didn’t have August in it. We were hell on wheels from the get-go, causing trouble and breaking hearts everywhere we went. While we still belonged to the same club, we rarely saw each other anymore. Though his job as Chief of Surgery at St. John’s Presbyterian kept him busy, August still hadn’t forgiven me for what happened the night I made a choice to save my brother, letting his sister die.
“Thank you, August.”
Shrugging his shoulders as if it was nothing, I turned to leave when he asked, “You ever tell Kansas the truth about that night?”
“No.”
“Your sins are mounting, Montana.”
Narrowing my eyes, I growled, “And so are yours, brother. Shall we discuss those too?”
August angrily grabbed his briefcase and stormed out of the room, saying nothing more. Watching him walk away, I made a mental note to have Malice talk with the good doctor and remind him of the oath he took. While I trusted August to keep his mouth shut, I wasn’t taking any chances.
Entering the main common room, I heard August as he stopped in front of Tessa. “Watch your back, Tess. Asshole doesn’t have a problem walking away if you’re drowning.”
“What?” Tessa gasped, as she looked up at the good doctor.
“Bane!” I roared angrily.
“I’m leaving,” August sneered at me before adding, “Don’t miss your appointment, asshole.”
Storming out of the clubhouse, I tilted my head towards Malice, knowing my brother would follow August.
“Silver, come here,” I said, as the club’s bartender walked over. Silver was a pretty young woman with long dark brown hair with silver streaks and soft doe eyes. A street rat that used to hang around the club. I caught Silver dumpster diving one night for food when she was sixteen. Refusing to go back into the system, I offered her a job cleaning rooms, and doing shit jobs around the club and that was all she wrote. Now twenty-six, Silver was a staple here at the club. Trustworthy to a fault, Silver may work for the club, but only took orders from one person… me.
“Yeah, boss.”
Handing her my son, I said, “Watch him for me. No one holds him. Got it?”
“Got it,” Silver said, walking away with my son towards the kitchen.
“Where is she going with my son?” Tessa yelled, rushing after her when I caught her by the arm, halting her. Swinging her around until she faced me, I glared. “I’d be more worried about you, bitch. It’s time I taught you what happens when you break the rules.”
“Let go of me, Montana!”
Saying nothing more, I hauled Tessa up and over my shoulder as I walked her up the stairs to my bedroom. Ignoring her kicks, screams and punches, I unlocked my door and walked in, before throwing her none too gently on my bed. Before she could bounce off, I moved fast, grabbing her hand before she could slap me across the face. Clasping her wrist tightly, she winced, then screamed loudly, pleading for anyone to come and help her. I could have told her no one was coming, but I didn’t.
Not one single person.
Grabbing both of her hands, I shackled them behind her, pulling her close to me, because I wanted to make damn sure she heard what I was about to say. “Let’s get one thing straight right now. York is our son. Not yours. Not mine. Ours. The next time I hear you say otherwise, I will spank your ass so red you won’t sit down for a fucking week.”
“Montana.”
“Shut up. I’m not done talking.”
She gulped.
“You walking out on me? I can forgive. I get it. Your mother needed you. Had you told me, I would have gone with you and helped, but you didn’t give me that chance. Instead, you walked away without telling me shit.”
“Montana.”
“I said shut up!” I shouted, pushing her back on the bed. “But you kept our son from me. That is something I will never forgive you for. If you were anyone else, I would kill you with my bare hands. So, I’m going to do to you what you did to me.”
“What?” she gasped, her eyes widening in fear. Walking to the door, I turned and said, “You knew the rules, Tess. You broke them. Enjoy your room. You are going to be here for a long while.”
