CHAPTER 21

HADES

Hades is no longer the co-president of the Ruthless Reapers MC. He gave up his position in the underworld organization he cofounded for the chance to make a life with Persy in the legitimate world. These days he sleeps at night—as opposed to making nefarious deals with fellow criminals, politicians, and various individuals who’ve built cottage industries in the moral grey.

But old habits die hard.

Hades steps off a private plane, wearing his old Reapers leather jacket, after landing in a “private” airfield in Iowa the Reapers use when they have goods they don't necessarily want TSA monitoring. Like a woman who might not want to fly home to Ohio with the man who has only been pretending to be her official husband.

Perhaps his former co-president feels the same way about his current upstanding citizen status. Hades finds Waylon’s black truck idling on the other side of the unregistered airfield's chain-link fence.

The truck was a gift from Hades back when they both thought they’d run the Ruthless Reapers together until they died. He brought it all the way up from Louisiana special for Waylon when his cousin showed up at their favorite Tennessee roadhouse with an unexpected bride.

A bride named Amira. Little did Hades know when he brought Persy along for the trip that he was about to introduce her to the woman who would help her escape him.

Waylon is married to that woman now. They have two kids—a boy and a girl—neither of whom Hades has ever met.

Four years ago, Hades couldn’t have imagined such a fate possible for the cousin who came off as psycho, even by 1% biker standards. The way Waylon’s drug-addict mother had fucked him up, there was no way his story could include a romantic happy ending.

But when his cousin steps out of the truck to greet him, his infamous crystal blue eyes have lost their psycho glitter.

He even smiles at Hades, flashing the set of pearly white teeth that most of the Reapers hadn’t seen before he showed up at the roadhouse with a cute little nurse practitioner in tow.

“Welcome back, brother,” Waylon says, pulling him into the same hug they would have exchanged when they ran the Reapers together.

“Is she okay?” Hades asks instead of returning the greeting.

Back when he had Persy by his side, Hades initiated their hugs, while Waylon always wanted to get straight down to the business at hand. It feels like they’ve traded places.

Waylon lifts an eyebrow. “Are you okay, brother? What's this I hear about you pretending to be Persy’s husband after she lost her memory in a car accident?”

Hades just throws the small duffel he brought with him into the back seat of his cousin’s truck and asks, “What's this I hear about her coming here to find your wife specifically? You know, the one you never should've married after the way she betrayed me.”

Waylon rarely cracked a smile four years ago, but he looks dangerously close to laughing as he climbs into the driver's seat. “Well, you got me back by saddling me with full responsibility for the MC.
