Chapter Seven Dragon
Walking out of Liza’s hospital room, I pull my phone out of my pocket. I find the contact information I’m looking for and put it up to my ear.
“Glitch.”
“Hey, can you bring the boys up to the hospital so they can have some time with their mama and their new baby brother?”
I hear him chuckle on the other line, “Let me guess, you wanted to give them the option, but she wouldn’t let you?”
“Yeah. Hey, can you bring one of her brothers here too? I know a couple of them are in town with you. I need some answers about what is going on and she won’t tell me.”
I can tell he is going to interrupt so I beat him to it.
“You can say it isn’t your place, but if she’s not going to tell me I need to know. This is my family, my boys, my woman that are in danger. Whatever this is matters to me. So someone needs to fucking tell me so I know what the fuck I’m dealing with.”
He sighs, “Yeah, fine. Sprocket, Wick, Ridge, and Cade are here. Vice isn’t here because we need our VP at the clubhouse right now. Diesel isn’t here either because his wife is about to have their third baby. Case stayed back for prospect duty, couldn’t have both of them here.
Her sisters couldn’t come either. So I guess while the brothers that came are visiting her with the boys, I will give you all the details that I know.”
That was good enough for me, so with that we hung up the phone and I headed back into the room and watched as my woman, and yes she is my fucking woman, breastfed our baby boy.
Before I know it the door opens and two handsome boys come barreling in followed by five men.
Watching those boys run up towards the bed and stare in awe at their mama brought the memories of me meeting them for the first time flooding back.
“Fuck, Twister, did they tell you what shit we needed to get for the pantry at the clubhouse or not? We really should’ve sent some fucking prospects to do this shit. Why in the hell are we here?”
“Well dipshit, we are not just here for the clubhouse. Your ass needs some fucking groceries and since I’m the responsible one out of the two of us I thought I would lie to get you to come out. Your ass can’t keep eating out or waiting for that hottie you're seeing to cook for you.”
“Oh what the fuck ever. And don’t talk about her like that. You make it sound like she’s just some piece, I’m fucking with.”
“Yeah? Well isn’t that what you are letting everyone else believe?”
I give him a look that tells him to shut the fuck up as I turn down the cereal aisle because if we are shopping for me, my ass wants some sugary sweet lucky charms.
“Yeah, well you know—-”
Before I can even finish my sentence I am hit by a tiny little boy wearing jeans and a Rolling Stone t-shirt.
“Oh my gosh! Waylon! I’m so so—-”
Before the sentence finishes I recognize that voice.
I look up and smile at the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life.
We’ve been seeing each other for some time now and every minute of it has been amazing.
I have never met her boys though. She has kept that part of her life separate for now.
I'm sure she is trying to make sure I’m serious about her first.
“Cane?”
I don’t even have to look at my brother to know that his stare is burning a hole in my head at the fact that she is using my legal name. I kneel down so I’m level with her little boy that she called Waylon.
“Hey there, buddy. I’m Cane. I’m a friend of your mama’s. I’ve been looking forward to meeting you.”
She was in shock that day, by how easy it was for me.
She thought I would cut and run. I never thought that.
I never would have. Her having kids and watching how she was with them just made her even more sexy.
I knew even then watching her in that grocery store after our encounter that I wanted to put a baby in her.
I knew then that I needed to protect her and those boys no matter what.
I never wanted anything dark or horrible to touch them.
I spent months with them learning everything they liked and everything they didn’t like.
We became a family and now they are unsure of me or at least Walker is.
Liza looks up and tears start to form in her eyes as she takes in all the family that came into the room. Glitch makes eye contact with me and nods his head towards the door. I nod and look back at Liza.
“I’m gonna let you have some time with your brothers okay, baby?”
She nods her head and doesn’t look at me, I sigh and stand up. Before heading out the door, I bend down and move her chin so she is forced to look at me.
“I’ll be right back, baby. I love you.”
She gets a look of surprise in her eyes before I bring my lips to hers. She might still try to fight that we are meant to be together, but her body responds to mine no matter how much she doesn’t want it to.
After our quick kiss, I straighten up and walk out of the room following Glitch. We close the door and walk towards the exit of the hospital. Once we reach the outside he pulls out a cigarette and places it to his lips. After he lights it he looks at me.
“What do you want to know?”
“You know what I want to know Glitch. So start talking. I need to know about any threats that could come our way. Do I need to call Terror and Lash to be here too?”
He sighs and pulls out his phone.
“Yeah.”
“Grim, I’m here with Dragon from Devil’s Chaos. He’s Liza’s baby daddy. I am wanting to know what I can tell him in regards to that situation involving Liza and Vandal. Also if you want me to read in Terror and Lash as well?”
“I can give Terror a call, you read Dragon in. You can tell him everything. He’s going to need to know, if it were my woman, I’d want to know.”
You can hear the longing undertone in his voice when he said ‘my woman’.
“Plus, I think it is about time we let them know. It also involves that family. So they need to be aware.”
With that Grim hangs up the phone and Glitch looks at me again.
“Alright, I can tell you everything I know, but I can’t tell you what she went through. I don’t know all of it, I’ve never asked and that is on her for her to tell you.”
I nod my head and wait for him to continue.
“Four years ago, Liza was abducted by a member of our club. I don’t know all the details, but I know that she left the club unprotected one night after walking in on her high school boyfriend fucking a waitress. He’s a club brother, thought he was hot shit. After Liza disappeared,
he changed his tune. Probably give everything to find out where she is, but I’m getting off topic.”
He takes a puff of his cigarette before he continues.
“ We couldn’t find her for a year, it was crazy. Her brothers were out of their minds, her mom was a basket case especially after what happened with their dad. I got a call one day after we had spent years looking for her.
She had me go to a place where I was alone because the fucker that took her was partying at the clubhouse while she escaped the hellhole he put her in. She had me meet her so we could talk. She wouldn’t even let me tell her family.” He lets out a dry chuckle.
“When I got there she told me who took her, didn’t give me details on what it was like being held captive for a year by him, but I could guess. Especially when she wound up pregnant.”
Fuck. FUCK! The boys’ biological father is the asshole that kidnapped her and raped her. I take a deep breath because I know I need to hear everything that he is saying and try and get through it all.
“She told me that there were times he was careless because he had this weird obsession with her and he thought she would never get away. He thought he broke her will because she made it appear that she was submitting. She told me that there were men that would come to the house, mafia.
Men that are in the profession of trading flesh.”
With that he takes another hit of his cigarette and looks at me.
“This is going to be the part that not only affects you, but affects your family.
Belladini. I know your brother is with his son, I also know his son is a Rebel.
As far as I know his father does not know yet, I’m hoping to keep it that way.
Vandal, or Dex as we now call that traitorous asshole, would sometimes let these men participate in Liza’s torture.
She didn’t give me any details on that, again that is something she would have to tell you.
But she heard things when they were there.
There were talks about how the Don wanted her, but Dex refused saying that he would find them other women.
That he decided to keep Liza for himself.
A deal was agreed upon, I don’t know what and neither did Liza.
Sometimes she couldn’t hear everything, sometimes she would be in and out of consciousness and wouldn’t get everything.
From what Liza could tell us, he was using our club, our businesses and doing backdoor deals.
He wanted to take over the club from Grim.
Though he was leading us down a path that wasn’t ‘MC’ enough for him.
He thought we needed to be involved in the sex trade.
Anyway, I set Liza up with a new phone and bought her this place here.
Paid for her schooling, everything. I helped her build a new life and set up a security system that only I could hack.
I made sure that I would know any time anyone was looking for her name online.
I’ve been protecting her. I waited a few weeks after I got her settled before I told her family what was going on.
We kept it tight. Only the council brothers know what we know.”
“What happened to this asshole, please tell me you fucking killed him?” I growled.
“By the time I got back, the asshole disappeared. Went to the house Liza said he kept her at and it was on fire. We don’t know where he is.”
“Is this asshole the twins’ father?”
Glitch shrugs, “I don’t know, it’s either him or the Italian fucks. We’ve been keeping Liza here for her safety. Bulldog knew. He knew who she was before you two got together. He was keeping an eye on her for us. Making sure she was okay and no one was coming for her.
We have no idea if the Belladini family will come looking because she heard things and I am assuming Dex is all butt hurt because she got away from him. So we’ve kept her here while we’ve been weeding through our club. Finding the brothers that were with Dex,
trying to get as many answers about what was going on as we could. They wouldn’t give anyone up. No matter how much we fucking tried, I mean we even called in the Sirens for help. Nothing. We don’t know where he is. We just think that he might be watching, so we’ve kept Liza here.
We’ve never brought her brothers out here for a visit, we thought maybe if we didn’t bring Vice it would be okay because when the VP leaves a lot of eyes are on him.”
I’m pacing at this point, she’s been through so fucking much. No fucking wonder now that I broke her fucking trust she doesn’t want to give that back to me. But an idea pops into my head with the mention of the Sirens.
“What if I told you I could get you access to one of the Sirens’ bunkers and get you to work with an honorary Siren, as well as Wizard to see what the three of you can find together.”
“I mean that would be fucking awesome, but how are you going to pull that off.”
I just smirk at Glitch and pull out my phone. It’s time to see if my big sister can help me out.
