When we arrived at the clubhouse, the anger in my belly simmered. I shouldn’t be mad at my sisters. They probably had a good reason for not answering the emergency line. I bit back a scoff. Yeah-fucking-right.

Angel had taken me to the hospital much to my dismay. Thankfully, I didn’t have a concussion, just a huge-ass headache.

“How are you doing?” he asked, squeezing my hand.

“My head hurts. I’m so fucking confused. And my sisters weren’t there when I needed them most.” There. I said it. But the truth leaving my mouth didn’t sit well with me.

“I’m sure they had good excuses.” Angel shrugged, shutting off his SUV.

“Tell me something, Angel.” I turned to him. “What would you have done if something happened to you and your brothers weren’t there for you?”

“We’re trained to be a unit. A team. We fight together. We die together,” he said without hesitation. “But…” he thought a moment, cupping my cheek. “I will be honest with you. If one of us got hurt and we couldn’t be there for each other, if we had some excuse, what would be the point? They would need to have a good reason as to why they weren’t there.”

“I know Vice-One is different than King’s Harlots. I get that,” I told him. “But Vice-One is a brotherhood just like King’s Harlots is a sisterhood. If I can’t have the people I trust the most at my back, then how can I count on them being at my front?”

He nodded. “Do you trust them?”

My jaw clenched. “I trust Max. I trust Brogan, but I know she would do anything to save her own ass first. Meeka? Something is going on. She won’t tell me what. No one will tell me. But I know I can count on her. All of them. Or I thought I did.”

“Would you like me to tell you what I would do?”

“Yes.”

Angel gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles going white. “My brothers mean everything to me. Vice-One is my life. I will be a part of it until the day I die and they lower my cold body into the ground. But if one of them stepped out, after all of the shit we have to deal with on a daily basis, I would call them on it.”

“In the motorcycle club life, we would be killed first and asked questions later. I don’t want my club to be like that. I don’t want to be a part of the life my father’s club is and the others. I’ve seen what it does to them.” I was rambling. God, this is odd for me. To find that person I could talk to. Besides Violet, I had never been able to talk to anyone. “I’m sorry. I’m chatting your ear off.”

He smiled and placed a soft kiss on my mouth. “I enjoy when you talk to me but you need rest. Talk to your girls, and then you’re going to get your beautiful ass to bed.”

“Yes, Sir,” I saluted him.
