Chapter Thirty
Sera
With everyone in Church, it leaves me to entertain myself in The Common Room. It’s so weird that it”s so quiet and empty here; normally, it’s full of members living their best lives. I figured while I had a free minute, I’d start working on something for my Dad. I hate that he has nothing of me and the twins together growing up. So I’m making him something. I have a few baby photos of myself, and I actually got Tech to send me pictures of the twins when they were ten.
I’m using them to create a family picture of us for my Dad. He may never be able to have photos of us together growing up, but I have the talent to make something to replace them, and I’m determined to do so. My Dad loves his kids. He deserves to have pictures of us together.
I get lost in my art for a while, just managing to finish the outline of both my brothers sitting on the sofa, side by side, when I hear a feminine cough above me. Looking up, I see a group of women standing in front of me, and from their attire, they can only be one thing. Club bunnies. They’re dressed in super short shirts, that I’m pretty sure show everything if they bend over, tops that are so tight they have got to be uncomfortable, and sky high heels, that I’m sure if I tried to walk in them, I’d kill myself.
Everyone is entitled to dress however they want; don’t get me wrong. But, fucking hell, it’s like they have zero respect for themselves. It’s clear as day that they use their bodies to get what they want around here. I can certainly see how my mother was one of these back in the day. She’d have been in her fucking element, dressing this way and using her body to get what she wanted. Hell, she still did that a lot of the time while I was growing up.
Looking up from their bodies towards their faces, I have to hold back a laugh at how much make-up they have plastered on their faces. They must need a trowel to remove it all at the end of the day. This is my first encounter with the bunnies. How the fuck have I been here this long and yet to deal with them? Huh, I must have just gotten lucky, but my luck”s definitely run out now.
“Can I help you?” I ask in an amicable tone.
“Yeah, you can tell us who the hell you are.” The one who stood at the front of the group asks me, clearly irritated by my presence.
“Sera, and you are?” I may be playing it up a little by being overly polite, but I can”t seem to help myself; this could turn out to be fun for me.
“I”m Candice; behind me are Whitney, Lindsey, and Lisa. Why the hell are you here?” She was doing so well introducing them all, and then she just had to try and be bitchy, didn”t she?
”Well, I live here.” Straight to the point, that should work. Clearly, I was overestimating these women.
”No, you don”t; we”d know if there was a new bunny.” Candice bitches at me.
Oh, poor deluded girl. It”s time for me to put her in her place. I stand, place both hands on the table, and lean towards her.
“I never said I was a bunny, did I? I said I live here. Now turn around and leave before you cause a situation you can”t get out of.”
I”m trying really hard here, but I”m ready to tear into these women. Do I remotely even look like a goddamn bunny? I”m dressed in a hoodie I stole from Blade, which has the MC logo on the back, paired with a pair of skinny jeans and fucking sneakers. Come on, it couldn”t be clearer that I”m not a bunny.
“What the fuck are you going to do? I don”t know who the fuck you think you are, but we won”t stand for some unknown bitch coming in here lying about living here. You”re probably just here to steal our men.”
I can”t help it. I burst out in over-the-top laughter, drawing the attention of all the members I can see entering the room. I can see worried looks on the faces of some of the guys. These women might not know who I am, but every man entering the room does, and they”re waiting to see what I”ll do. Most have seen me take down a man a lot larger than myself. They know these women pose no threat. On the other hand, I pose a massive threat to their health. If they don’t watch themselves, I won’t hold myself back; I’ll only stand for so much before I snap.
“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?” Candice shouts. I”m getting the impression she”s the leader of their little band of whores, with her being the one who”s done all the talking.
Taking a deep breath, I try to control my laughter so I can talk. It’s not as easy as it sounds. I’m highly amused at the shit coming out of Candice”s mouth.
”Sorry, but I couldn”t help it. They aren”t your men, you poor delusional fools. You are a fucking convenient hole they use when they can”t be bothered to go out and find a woman for the night. How can you honestly stand there and act like you mean anything more than that to any man in this club? And for your information, I”m not lying about living here. Go ahead, ask any man in this room right now.”
All the women look around and see we are no longer alone and everyone”s full attention, which causes them all to fucking preen. What the hell? They are fucking ridiculous.
“Joker, does she live here?” Candice asks with a super sweet tone, which can”t be anything other than fake.
“Yep.” That”s all he says back to her, not giving her any more information. I think he”s enjoying the show. I can see the twinkle in his eye. Yeah, he”s waiting for me to utterly annihilate them. I haven”t spent much time with Joker, but from the few conversations I have had with him, I can see why he has the road name Joker. He’s forever making jokes or messing around.
”See, I told you I wasn”t lying.” I say with a massive smile on my face.
“That makes no sense; why would you be living here if you”re not a bunny?” One of the other women who isn”t Candice says quietly.
”Oh, that”s easy; you should have just asked that to start with. My brother”s and boyfriend are members here.” Okay, yeah, I may be enjoying giving them just enough information to hang themselves with without giving them anything real.
“WHAT!” Candice screeches. I can”t help but wince; that hurt my fucking ears.
“What? I”ve just told you how I can live here and not be a bunny like you all. So what”s the problem now?” I can”t help but sigh. I”m getting annoyed now.
“Who the fuck have you stolen, you fucking bitch?” She goes to grab my arm, but I”m quicker, moving back, standing to my full height, and letting my anger free.
I make sure the table isn”t between us anymore, just in case I need to act. She shouldn”t have tried to grab me. I didn”t get physical with her, so there is no need for her to get physical with me. Even if we all know I can end her without breaking a sweat.
”No, you fucking listen and listen fucking carefully to every word I”m about to say because I”m not going to repeat it twice. I didn”t steal my boyfriend from any of you. He was single when we met. None of these men are YOURS! None of you are in relationships with any of them. Stop trying to stake a claim on them; it”s never going to fucking work. Oh, and don”t try to grab me again; you won”t like what happens.” How I manage not to shout every word I say, I will never know, but I manage to talk at a normal volume, letting them all hear the anger in my voice.
“I don”t know who your boyfriend is, but he obviously isn”t planning on keeping you around; if he were, you”d be wearing a property of kutte. Whoever you are currently with will be back in our beds before you know it.”
Before I can respond, I catch sight of two figures in the doorway. It”s Wrath and Blade. Neither look happy; I have to hide my smirk; they don”t move; they both know I can handle these women with one arm tied behind my back.
“You”re delusional, but that”s okay. You are entitled to think whatever you want. I don”t need a kutte to know I”m his and he”s mine.” I tell them my voice is full of confidence.
I know without a doubt what I mean to Blade. I am not even remotely insecure. In my peripheral vision, I can see Blade smiling at my words. I think he might like me staking my claim for us both. I know I’m right in what I’m saying, what’s between me and Blade is bigger than these women understand. They’ve never met the missing piece of their soul. The person who compliments you on a level that’s so deep, words can never describe it.
Candice obviously doesn”t like what I have to say because she lunges at me with her arms outstretched, trying to grab my hair. Big mistake: using the motion of her body moving, I grab her arm, flip her straight over my shoulder, and she lands on her back. She immediately starts crying. Seriously, what the fuck did she expect me to do—just stand there and let her attack me?
“I warned you.” I tell her as I lean against the table and watch all the other bunnies rush to help her up.
“I”m going to have your head for this; just wait until I tell the President you attacked me.” Candice says, wiping her tears away and smirking at me.
Wrath takes that moment to make himself known. If I were petty, I might just stick my tongue out at her, but I’m not. I just stand back and let my brother deal with these idiots.
“You don”t need to tell me anything, Candice. I got a front row seat for the whole thing.” He says as he walks towards us, trying to maintain a serious fa?ade.
All the bunnies turn to face Wrath. I have no doubts they’re going to try and make me out as the villain in this situation. They have no idea I’m his sister. Yet. I”m pretty sure that little piece of information is about to come out and ruin the little world these women live in.
“Prez, you saw that bitch attack Candice. Do something!” One of the ones I don”t know the exact name of screeches while stomping her foot.
“What I saw was Candice trying to attack Sera, and she was defending herself.” His face is totally devoid of emotion; only his eyes show his rage.
“But Prez, we”re supposed to be under your protection; you can”t let some tramp come in here and attack us and do nothing about it.” Candice snivels at Wrath.
Immediately as she calls me at tramp, I see both Blade and Wrath”s faces go from vacant to furious. Oh, dear, she really shouldn”t have called me that. Simultaneously, the entire room gasps at her words. They’re all well aware of the trouble Candice has just dropped herself into.
“You”re fucked now.” I hear Joker whisper from close by. I can barely contain my laughter. He”s not wrong.
“Do you have any idea who Sera is?” Wrath says irate.
“Someone”s sister and girlfriend, according to her.” Candice says with snark.
“She”s not just someone”s sister. SHE”S MINE!” Wrath shouts. Letting his anger at the situation show.
“You don”t have a sister!” Candice squawks.
Is she seriously trying to tell him I”m not his sister? What the hell? Standing behind the bunnies, who are all facing towards Wrath and Blade. I let my eyes go wide in shock at her words. I don’t know what other reaction to have.
”Oh, but I do, Candice. She might not have grown up around here, but she’s still my sister. The fact that you’re trying to tell me I don’t is fucking stupid and unbelievable. Oh ladies, if any of you ever try to touch her or talk about her like that again, it won”t be me you deal with. It will be Sera and her Ol’ Man. Just a heads up, they are both as lethal and deadly as each other.”
“She has a boyfriend, not an Ol’ Man. She”s not wearing a property of kutte.” Candice voices again.
She is seriously obsessed with the fact that I don”t have one. Personally, I don’t care; I know Blade will give me one when he’s ready. I know becoming an Ol’ Lady is the MC’s version of marriage.
”Actually, we had Church not long ago. Sera’s now officially an Ol’ Lady of Devil”s Inferno MC.” Wrath”s eyes shine with pride. I think he really liked getting to tell them that.
“Who the fuck is her Ol’ Man then?”
Fucking Candice again. Will she just shut up? I’d like this moment to take in what my brother has just announced. Blade had me voted in as his Ol’ Lady. I wasn’t expecting that this soon. I thought it would be a lot longer.
“Me.” Blade”s eyes are locked on mine, shining with love as he speaks, but his voice is dark as he addresses the bunnies.
“Fuck.” I hear one of them mutter under their breath.
Candice, though she has no self-preservation at all, starts running her mouth again.
“Why the fuck would you make that ugly bitch your Ol’ Lady when you can have us?” Her voice is filled with bitterness.
Blade”s eyes are still locked with mine, and I can see he”s ready to blow up at her. I wink at him and walk toward him. As soon as I”m in front of him, I turn around to face the bunnies and feel Blade wrap his arms around my waist.
“Jealousy isn”t a good look on you at all, Candice. Do you honestly think I care that you think I”m ugly because I”m not dressed like I should be on a fucking street corner? Have some self-respect and dignity. Not in this fucking lifetime.”
I”m watching her closely, and I see the exact moment she loses it. Blade must see it too, because he releases his hold on me just as she flies forward and attempts to slap me across the face. I grab her wrist before it connects and bend it backwards until I hear it snap. As soon as I hear the snap, I let go. Candice is wailing her head off in pain. I don”t feel even a little bit sorry for her; she was warned.
“SHUT UP!” Wrath shouts over her wailing, which causes her to stop, but she”s still crying. “It”s your own fucking fault; you now have a broken fucking wrist. You were warned. Get the fuck out of here. Go and see Doc.” Wrath dismisses her. She quickly scurries away, holding her wrist to her chest.
I look at the other bunnies who are standing there in a stupor. “Let that be your warning; don”t fucking try your shit with me; I fight back.”
They all just nod their heads up and down like fucking bobble heads.
“Off you go then.” I wave my hand, dismissing them. They all quickly turn and run from the room.
The minute they’re out of the room, all the men burst out laughing. I can”t help but smile at their reaction. I lean back into Blade”s chest, and he bends down to whisper in my ear.
“That was fucking hot.”
My body shakes with silent laughter; only Blade would find me snapping another woman”s wrist a turn on.
”Well, sis, it looks like you won”t be having any more issues with the bunnies.” His voice sounds totally satisfied.
“Not unless they”re after more broken bones.” I hear someone shouting from across the room, but I can”t place the voice.
Wrath just laughs at their remarks. The tension in the room is now broken now that all the bunnies have cleared out.
