Destiny just shook her head. Everyone had their own story but for the most part, the pieces that pushed them to the club that was secretive. “Come.” Stella took Destiny’s hand and led her down the road toward the small park just past the clubhouse. For several long moments as they walked together they were silent. Just the feel of the hot Texas sun beating down.

“I understand your pain, Destiny. It’s just the wall you build around yourself. To protect your heart from all that hurt. Stephan wasn’t supposed to have been an only child and I never intended to be ‘Til’ Death.’ We had wanted to wait till he was a few years older before trying for a second baby. Eric was still pretty new to the club. Both of us still pulling down nine to five wage and I wasn’t sure I wanted to stay and raise a family in this mess. I thought about taking Stephan and running and now, looking back, I still wonder what my life would have been like had I done it. It was a stupid thought. Eric would have stayed, he was so devout to your father and Alec already and our son—so much like his father; he would have run right back to him and the patch the second he got free of me.

“Then the dark times came at the start of the war with the Pride. That’s when I really started to feel lost. I didn’t want this life anymore. I was so attracted to the club when Eric prospected. We were newly engaged and I fantasized about being with a bad boy. But after we married and had Stephan, I wanted to back away. And honestly I was scared. Terrified. I didn’t want to lose my husband to death or prison or God only knows what else.

“Your mother helped me pack my bags and gave me the money to go once. She didn’t blame me, she hoped Eric would follow me. But I came back, after just one day. I’m not even sure Eric knew I left. Then things quieted down for a while and things were good again. We talked for a moment or two about having another baby; Breanna, Kristy and I had gotten so close and Breanna was pregnant with you so we wanted to wait. No need to have two infants running around. Then the war started again....”

Stella fell silent. Destiny saw tears bubble in her eyes. “Eric wasn’t a high enough rank back then. Not enough that getting to me would be a devastating blow on the club. I have recounted it a million times and tried thinking it over, the reasons. This club is a tight family—attacking anyone would be cause for serious retaliation—you have lived that enough to know it. It wasn’t me they wanted. It wasn’t me…”

Stella pulled away from Destiny, tears streaming down her face, and stumbled to a park bench. Her head down to hide the tears, to hide her shame and pain.
