He just chuckles and shrugs. "The idea was Daggers; he thought it would be funny. I just knew the only way to get you to stop running from myself and Mel is to make you think you have patience."

I scowl at him and then at Dagger, who just grins and shrugs. "You did well, sweetheart. I would have pissed myself laughing seeing that in a chart."

I chuckle and shake my head before dropping the chart on the counter next to me, placing my hands on my hips, and looking around the room as Axel steps forward. "The brothers fucked up."

I nod because they did. "It's not me; I was concerned about Axel; I was ready to hit her back."

He nods and says, "You were concerned for Lilah, and I get it; believe me, I fucking do. Clitter has overstepped boundaries for years, and the only reason she's got as many passes as she did is because we knew her when she was the geeky school girl."

I nod. I'm aware she lost her parents; Soph told me a while ago, but that doesn't excuse her actions for what she did.

Dagger steps forward next.

"We've voted to kick her out of the club."

I sigh, dropping my hands and shaking my head. "You're her family, Dagger." The men all smile at me while Dagger nods. "You got heart, sweetheart; it's also why she's got a job at Untamed Girls, living in the flat above it. It is the only choice we gave her because we know it's most likely the one place you wouldn't go. We put you first, Meghan, and we put your girl first. She is banned from the clubhouse until you decide otherwise." I shake my head, but he puts his hand up. "I know you said you weren't coming back; I know you said our niece," I smile at that, "is not allowed on club grounds, but we," he holds his arms out, “us brothers are here to try and change your mind. Slicer," he shakes his head, "when you called him his road name, he looked ready to drown. Five years, Meg; that's how long he has tried to find you. That's also how long we, his brothers, have had to watch him self-destruct. As the time went on, the worse he got."

I look down when Noah's father steps forward.

I really should find out his name. I mean, my daughter's middle name is his wife's. "Meghan, darling, my son needs you. I understand you going away for a few days and going radio silent. I know Lilah needed it; I know you needed it. The brothers let you down epically, and they're currently taking up the waiting room wanting to see you." My eyes widen while the men smirk. "They're on a final warning. They're our brothers; most have been with us for decades, but they're the ones who should have stood up for you. They all watched my son fall apart; they all saw your reunion."

I shrug. "She's been around a lot longer than me."

The men just smile when Hawk speaks up, "Yet it's your name tattooed on his neck; it's your daughters' name, his daughters, tattooed right under it. It's your bracelet he found that morning five years ago that he wears every day without fail; the brothers know this as did Clitter."

I sniffle and nod my head when Axel walks up to me, gripping my shoulder. "You haven't been hiding her from him for five years, Meghan; you've been trying your hardest to find him. Don't give up now because of a patch chaser and his dumbass brothers, and I don't mean just for Lilah either; don't give up for yourself. I was there, remember? I saw the first time you two met. Fuck, Meg, you've got his name tattooed on your wrist. Don’t give up on your happiness because of idiots." My tears fall, and he wipes them away when the door slams open before a very pissed-off Mel walks him.

Oh crap.

I look towards Dagger for some help, but he slinks behind Ink, making me narrow my eyes at him while mouthing 'wuss' while the brothers try to contain their laughter.

"YOU!" she shouts while pointing at me before grabbing me and hugging me tightly to her, and I sink into her embrace.

"I'm sorry," I rasp, and she nods, hugging me tightly to her. "I know you're lucky I love you." I squeeze her tighter. "By the way, you have pink in your hair and glitter."

I sigh and drop my head on her shoulder while the brothers try to contain their laughter at my daughter's pranks before Dagger clears his throat, making us look at him.

I furrow my brows. "Please don't tell me you're jealous because she's hugging me." The brothers all look at him while he clears his throat, shaking his head, and I burst out in laughter, everyone joining in and taking the piss out of him, causing him to sulk.

I shake my head as Noah's dad steps forward again.

"18 brothers are wanting to see you."

I sigh out a huff.

I don't want to forgive them; I don't want to even look at them. I mean, who steps back and allows a woman from their club to attack another with a child in her arms?

I shake my head and start pacing, the men allowing me the space to do so.

These men need to suffer for what they did; my daughter could have been hurt for Christ's sake.

They need their manhood brought down a notch.

An idea pops into my head to make them suffer, and I grin wide, making Mel mutter, "Uh-oh," before I turn and leave the room with everyone else following me. I go into the waiting room, the men standing instantly, and I cross my arms over my chest and raise a brow while Jizz, I believe Mel said his name was the last time he was here, steps forward.

"We all want to apologize. We stood back and ignored the warning signs because Clitter has been a part of the club since she was of legal age."

I raise a brow. "I don't care if she was your wife. She went to hit me with my scared four-year-old clutching my legs. She could have hurt her."
