Biker’s Wrath: Property of Trigger (Rebel Barbarians MC #11)
Prologue
Just when everything died down and the club members thought their only problems moving forward would be minor personal issues, their country and circumstances changed around them, forcing the club to consider a new direction for their future…
The new generation of the Rebel Barbarians Motorcycle Club starts here.
At the end of Biker’s Covenant…
Magnum & Damara were ready to live happily ever after, content to help Isaac Sinclair get back on his feet. Life had other plans…
Wyatt Shaw makes his new goals for the Barbarians clear, establishing the strong presence of a beta-chapter of the Rebel Barbarians Motorcycle Club on the East Coast. He has a strong ally and president for the beta chapter, Ethan Shaw, and his appointed right hand Magnum Sinclair leaves for Boston with a cohort of other riders including:
Zebulon Blackwood
Isaac Sinclair
Cody Hollingsworth
Christian Shaw
By the time the men arrive in Boston, the political situation in their country degenerates quickly, raising multiple new social problems for the bikers – as well as new sources of income.
The First Month
The President of the United States passes new laws enabling Immigration Enforcement to detain any and all citizens under suspicions of violating immigration law, including aiding and abetting suspected “illegals”.
One week after this law passes, a woman tangentially related to the Murray mafia family gets into an altercation with immigration enforcement and the Boston Police Department regarding their efforts to unlawfully detain her husband, a man of mixed Puerto Rican descent by the name of Carlo Romero. (Puerto Ricans are U.S. Citizens.)
During this altercation, the police kidnapped Carlo, his children, and assaulted the currently unnamed woman. Her family pays dues to the Murray mafia family for protection and the woman’s father brought the incident to mob leader, Aiden Murray.
Everything changes in 2026.
The sudden attack on his community put Aiden in an uncomfortable position where the only person he could turn to for help was a man with access to weapons, a practice of discretion, and strong family values.
With members of his own community on the police force and collaborating with immigration enforcement, Aiden needed someone he could trust. He met with Ethan Shaw, who carried the events of this meeting to his brother.
Wyatt agreed that while putting themselves in opposition to the federal government might be more trouble than it was worth, free citizens in America had a right to defend themselves.
If the Murrays needed guns, the Barbarians were happy to supply them.
The Second Month
The Rebel Barbarians grew up in a country both wild and free, where they could expect safety based on their club membership and their skin color. Nobody thought too much about race after the incident out West with the first Barbarian clubhouse.
You could love who you wanted and travel wherever you wanted without worrying about the government breathing down your neck.
After Aiden provided his people with self-defense and sent a warning through Odhran to his contacts at the Boston Police Department, everybody in Boston assumed they would be safe.
Ethan Shaw saw the writing on the wall and established a plan to bring weapons from across state lines with his brother Wyatt. They might not have clients yet, but the bikers had supplies ready to go.
Weeks passed since the first attack and Boston suffered another series of government raids, even more violent than the first. The media reported nothing, social media videos didn’t receive more than a couple hundred views, and nobody seemed to care.
These raids changed the energy of the so-called liberal capital of the East Coast.
This time, immigration enforcement targeted more areas of the city at the same time.
The Murray family’s extensive network got a tip about one raid, but couldn’t stop all of them at once.
Over two-hundred community members disappeared.
Their families and neighbors attempted to fight back, but the police had weapons and tear gas.
Several people were hurt, injured, or arrested with no media coverage.
A man attempting to defend his property died with his gun in his hand protecting his wife and kids, who disappeared in the back of a white van with nobody left in Boston to write their names on the list of the missing.
Word spread through the streets of Boston to the parts controlled by Darragh Murray in the Northwest, Odhran Murray in the Cambridge and Somerville area, all the way to Callum Murray, whose businesses extended far South.
The brothers contacted people they could trust and arranged a meeting to protect their communities, their businesses and the workers in those businesses necessary to survive the country’s uncertain economic times.
Several prominent families in the Boston area, and as far reaching as Pittsburgh to the West, Providence to the South, and Manchester, New Hampshire to the North met with Aiden Murray in Boston.
Nothing moves in that city without mafia interference, but how long can people spend underneath the boot of the government before they respond? The roots of the American Revolution ran deep in Boston, and this sense of powerlessness permeated the streets.
Aiden hadn’t seen this coming, but the bikers did. Bikers always lived with more anarchy than the mob. When the people demanded, “We have to do something”, Aiden understood the weight of what they asked.
War with the federal government, or a target on their backs.
He refused to participate with the full-scale power of the Murray family mob, but he established support for several local militia leaders and put them in contact with men who could supply guns and other military resources – men who would be sympathetic to the cause…
The Third Month
Ten of the barbarians are in loving interracial relationships.
They have mixed kids. They have mixed-race families and a Native American “sister” they’re all sworn to protect.
Wyatt Shaw, head of the motorcycle club, agreed to establish a weapons supply chain extended from the West to the East coast, traveling along the old Route 66 highway, controlled almost entirely by members or relatives of the Rebel Barbarians motorcycle club.
If America ever was a free country, the raids in Boston prove that freedom won’t be taken for granted.
Most of the barbarians live out West, far away from the domestic war brewing on American soil.
But nowhere is really safe from the far reaching arm of America’s new authoritarian government, and despite the love for his country and stability he feels, gamblers tend towards paranoia, and Wyatt is really no different.
Club traditions have changed over time, but the pendulum swings back the other way, yanking the country away from progress and into a new world order…
The next few months will be crucial for the Rebel Barbarians. One misstep could mean death at the hands of the police or immigration enforcement. Worse consequences might await running afoul of the federal government.
The club left behind violence and war anticipating an era of peace which may never come.
With soldiers on every street corner and threats to American freedom growing on the East Coast, it’s safe to say that absolutely nothing will be the same as it once was for the motorcycle club or its members.
Ethan has his marching orders: Establish this next chapter of the Rebel Barbarians and strengthen the weapons supply to the East Coast.
There will be little time for romance under these conditions, but love has a strange way of finding life and light in even the darkest circumstances.
The next books will ask important questions and continue the club’s story.
Does love still exist underneath a reign of terror?
In a world that forces us to segregate and choose sides, what happens when you love the wrong person?
Keep reading for Zebulon’s story, which begins roughly three months after Damara and Magnum’s marriage.
