MYTH

“First off, let’s talk about what the hell happened last night,” Shotgun demanded before any of us had even had the chance to take a seat at the table.

Laken joined us, her eyes wide as they tried to take in everything inside the small room.

There wasn’t much to see, some words on the walls, newspaper clippings, old photographs, and the club insignia etched into the table, but it was the beginning of something. We were the newest chapter of The Brothers by Blood MC. The call came up a couple of years ago for members to move, start somewhere fresh, and I put my hand up without a second thought.

This was where I grew up.

This was where I decided I’d had enough.

It was where I decided to stop letting people push me around—my dad, the teachers at school, the kids who thought I was a freak or I was on fucking drugs or something that made me lose my head every goddamn day.

It had always been home in a fucked-up kind of way.

Crush pulled his chair back, nodding for Laken to take it and sit at the table beside me. It wasn’t normal procedure, but these weren’t normal circumstances. She offered him a soft smile before falling into the waiting seat, her body finally collapsing under the pressure.

“Better?” I asked, raising my brow.

She turned back to me, shaking her head. “I don’t know.”

I could sense the way this meeting with her father had deflated her. Out there, she’d been running on adrenaline, willing to do almost anything to get him the hell away from her, but with an adrenaline rush always came the crash. The time where your brain began to catch up with the actions of your body, and you started to wonder what the fuck you’d been thinking.

I cleared my throat, sitting forward. “I went to Connor Lint’s hotel room. He was already dead, Jester was there waiting for me,” I ran through the events quickly, still annoyed I’d let myself be that complacent.

“Blowback from the dead body?” Shake questioned.

My head was already moving back and forth before he could finish. “Already talked with Samuels. He’s gonna handle it.” He owed me that fucking much for showing up with Mase, even though I’d kind of grown fond of the kid. I’d never tell him that, though. “Apparently, a maid had noted a smell wafting from that room the day before, so it wouldn’t be hard to prove I didn’t do it.”

“So it wasn’t Connor Lint who called you to make the meeting then,” Repo huffed. “The fuck are we gonna do with Jester? The asshole is psychotic, and it seems like it’s getting worse every fucking day.”

“He’s crazy, but he’s got his ducks in a fucking line,” I insisted, letting them know they couldn’t just assume crazy meant stupid. “He went into yesterday’s meeting knowing that there was a possibility I would beat the shit out of him and he would need to have a get-out-of-jail-free card ready.”

In a perfect world, if I could get a professional fight, it would be a lot easier to keep an eye on.
