I met his gaze, unwavering. "Yes, I do.”
I slowly stood up, my insides burning, my vision slightly hazed and I could barely swallow, but I suddenly had this epiphany. “I’m bound by your contract, Lucifer, but I can choose how I respond, what I do, and whether I help you or not."
His anger intensified, but I stood firm, fully understanding that there was one thing he couldn't control — my choice. The power of free will, the essence of humanity that even the devil couldn't extinguish.
“You need me more than I need you, Lucifer.”
“I’ll torture their souls for all eternity!” He shouted angrily, the world vibrating beneath his rage. But I remained unmoved, because I realized he was also bound by that contract. And he couldn’t do anything unless I made a move.
“Their souls are not bound to you. At least I’ll know they’ll be at peace.”
“You're playing a dangerous game, biker. And if you're not careful, you might find that hell has a way of catching up to you.”
“It already has,” I snarled back.
Lucifer grinned, his presence distorting the very air around us. The shadows moved along the walls and concrete toward him, whispering secrets that only he could hear.
“Your wife and daughter will have you to thank as I tear them down from their little peaceful plot in Hea-hea…that damned place.”
“You can’t do that!”
He gave me a viciously evil smile. “Just watch me, biker. You have three days to bring me Serge’s head and the raven. If not your little family will be the ones to pay the price for your insolence.”
With that, the devil vanished into the shadows, leaving me alone in the alley, the echoes of his warning lingering in the air. The game had intensified, and I fell to the ground, feeling once again defeated.
I wasn’t sure if the devil had the power to tear a soul from heaven, but as I looked up to the sky, I prayed they’d keep them safe.
Despite the devil’s warning I couldn’t give him the raven. She didn’t deserve that fate, no one did. And something deep in my gut told me I needed to protect her. Those bright amber eyes of hers had seen me, like few others had and I needed to see her again.
As I stumbled onto my bike, I spit out blood. My body ached, but regardless of the pain, I had to find a way back to her. Revving the engine, I sped off with the knowledge that not the devil, and definitely not any fucking demon was going to stop me. I had an advantage over Lucifer, and that was that I had nothing to lose.

SPECTRE
“Where the fuck have you been?” Bulldog attacked me as soon as I walked into the clubhouse.
Hart wandered from one room to the next and when he saw me, he merely shook his head. “You fucked up this time brother,” he remarked making his way into the next room.
“I’m fine.”
“You cut the deal?” Saddle asked from his perch on a barstool, his eyes fixed on me through the reflection of the bar mirror.
I glanced from Bulldog back to Saddle, and shrugged. “A deal was cut.”
“Are you fucking kidding me!” Bulldog yelled as Saddle whirled around in the stool, staring at me in shock.
“You’ve gotta be kidding me. So what are you, a Reaper now?” Saddle asked.
“No,” I went behind the bar and grabbed a beer. Popping the cap open, I gulped it down like water.
“So is your family gonna pop up all Pet Semetary like, Buzz, our younger Enforcer asked as he swiped clean the bar counter.
“Nice, Buzz,” I uttered.
“Hey. All this Lucifer shit’s got under my skin. How else do you want me to describe it?”
“My family is not going to be touched.”
