“I buried my boys here,” Hangman barely said. “Not leaving.”

Looking at my woman, she smirked. “You know me. I’m happy wherever you are.”

Turning to the only brother who hadn’t said anything, I said. “Savage?”

Lucas Keller may be golden to the core, but the man was all about his wife and kids. He worshipped the ground they walked on. He would do anything for them and had when he chose Jessica and Hailey over the club a few years back. The only reason he was back with the club was out of some warped sense of obligation to me. “My family is back in Tennessee. Jess has a good job. Her family is an hour away. Hailey just started school. She is all I have left of my sister.”

“That’s why you should go home,” Ravage said, walking in the front door, holding the hand of Ink’s sister Karlyn Ingalls. The second her eyes landed on her brother, she ran to him, jumping into his arms, crying.

“What the hell are you doing here, Ravage?” I asked, getting to my feet.

Ravage just looked at Karlyn, saying, “Because her brother is here. Dig is holding down the fort. Fucking Satan Angels tried and failed to take our home. They pissed off Slaughter. Asshole made a big mess of the back forty, but the clubhouse is still standing. They went after King’s place too. Fucking hillbillies never knew what hit them. There’s more too. Player and Ink, your women and kids are here.”

Player ran from the house, Massacre hot on his tail.

Ravage walked over to me.

“Ain’t staying in Tennessee without her. Send Savage home. He is acting VP. He can look after the clubhouse there. With King only an hour away, no one will fuck with the Tennessee Club. Dylan, there is one more thing. You are going to need to see this to believe it, though.”

Nodding, I followed my cousin out of the house along with everyone else, when I heard a startled cry, “Uncle Dylan!”

Looking up, I gasped as Emma ran towards me. Rushing down the steps, I gathered the young girl in my arms as I saw a Wraith Warrior walk over carrying Reaper and Remi’s son, Jesse.

“I’m Red. VP of Wraith Warriors. Remi gave me a message to give to you,” he said, handing me an envelope as Phantom took Jesse from the man.

I nodded, hugging the young girl close to me as Sunny ran down the steps from one of the homes, heading straight for Jax, who held Soleil in his arms.

“Uncle Dylan?” Emma sniffed, smiling at me.

“Yeah, sweetheart?”

“Are we home now?”

Looking around, I saw brother’s hugging women, laughing with children. They looked happy. Whole. Even Hangman smiled at Player’s boy, Colin, who laughed loudly as Massacre tickled him.

Turning to my woman, who held Reaper’s son in her arms, kissing his cheek, I muttered, “Yeah baby. We’re home now.”

Emma smiled up at me before she ran over to Sunny for a hug, as I opened the letter given to me.

Dylan,

I am giving you my children. I need time. Time I won’t get with them around. Please don’t think badly of me, but I need to figure out what I want. To do what is best for me.

Sunny will help you.

I saw him in Oklahoma, Dylan. He was there, still protecting me. When you see him, tell him he needs to stop protecting me and protect our children now. He needs them more than I do right now.

Please don’t let Phantom or Sypher look for me.

Keep them safe. They are the best of both of us.

Remi.

Crumbling the letter in my hand, I looked at Lena, unsure of what to say. The ol’ lady of the President of the Golden Skulls, just asked me to watch over and protect her children until their father returned.

Which meant only one thing.

Reaper was coming home.
