Chapter 10

Savage
The Destructive Sons were going down, and they were going down today. Their power player, Boris, was dead, and they had no other power in Ireland. They were cut off. I knew they would try to double down. They’d already tried to get Darby back, but we’d hidden her after he killed Keefe.
Breaking that to my woman had been the hardest shit ever. She’d cried her eyes out and blamed herself. It made me want to go and kill Alasdair myself for ever hurting her.
Fact of the matter, after today, he’d never hurt his girls again.
We’d make damn sure of it. Wolf stood at the ready beside me, my questions about him still ever present in my mind.
Shona had told me what he’d done for her, which earned him some pretty serious points but the fact he knew my sister, and that she wouldn’t come back for me put me on edge.
How could he possibly know that about her?
Ace, Hawk and Bear were talking with Fury and Viper.
Blaze had hung back at the clubhouse with Darby, the girls and Rebel to make sure our most prized were looked after.
Knowing they were okay helped me to be present here.
I’d made a promise though, and that was for Shona to get her revenge.
She sat back on my bike, waiting for my signal.
It was probably foolish to bring her, but I knew she needed this closure as much as I had with Boris and I wasn’t ready to be without her, not yet.
“You sure about this?” Wolf asked me.
I nodded. “Eamon and Lorcan have their men stationed around the clubhouse to ensure no one can get out. Ace, Bear and Hawk will go in under the guise that they are going to return Darby and get a feel for the place. Then, we go in, plant the explosives.”
“How does she figure into it?” he asked me, motioning toward Shona.
“She’s coming in with me,” I told him. “We’ll corner the asshole and she’ll take his life. We’ll flee, and then we can set them off.”
Wolf’s eyes widened as if he were surprised. “She wants to do this.”
“Yes,” I told him honestly. When I had asked her if she wanted to be the one to end Alasdair, her eyes had lit up and I saw the darkness I usually kept hidden away simmering on the surface.
I’d always known she had a darkness to her.
It was what I’d seen in her all those years ago, what pulled me to her. She was the other half to my soul.
Ace gave the signal that they were heading in. We waited, the urge to go in now and destroy them overpowering, but I didn’t want to take that away from her. The urge to protect was heavy within me.
We waited for Ace to give the signal. Every minute that passed was setting my nerves alight.
Fury and Viper were pacing behind the cement balustrade, out of view.
They were as eager as I was. Viper understood the need for Shona to be here, even though he had the same doubts I had originally, but she would have found her way here one way or another even if we hadn’t allowed it.
It was that spirit of hers that I admired.
Hawk gave the signal as they exited the clubhouse, keeping their wits about them. All eyes were on them and not the many men running in front of weaknesses in the fences around their clubhouse to put the explosives in place.
“Get your woman,” Wolf said. “We’ll get you around the side so no one can see you. Keep low until you’re inside.”
I nodded and moved over to get Shona. She took my hand in hers, and had her gun in the other.
I kept Viper near me. He was on lookout on the other side of Shona, while I kept an eye on her right.
I ran with her to the side door of the clubhouse which she told me was the closest to the chapel.
Viper stuck close behind us, his gun ready to protect.
The door was open and we headed inside, keeping to the wall in case anyone was in there.
Most of them were busy outside, or in the main bar.
Shona showed us how to duck down so we couldn’t be seen as we headed to the chapel.
She was certain he would be in there, and no one else would be.
I kept my eyes peeled on the Sons all around the clubhouse talking about Ace, Hawk and Bear.
It took everything in me not to start shooting now.
I shoved the door open and we walked through, startling Alasdair, who clearly didn’t expect a damn thing.
He was alone as I suspected since he didn’t think his men were worth their weight in gold.
“You’ve come home, Shona,” he said, his eyes shooting to me and Viper standing behind her. “I knew you would.”
“This isn’t my home,” she said, her voice steady. I was proud of her doing this. “And you won’t make it out of here alive.”
His chuckle was loud and obnoxious. “That’s some backbone you’ve acquired. You sure that one behind you is making it for you? I can call Blunt in here to show you what he wanted to do to you all those years ago.”
I slid up behind her, my hand on her hip, showing her I was here with her. That this fucker wasn’t going to hurt her anymore.
She was in control.
“This is yours, baby. He can’t hurt you anymore.”
She raised her gun and aimed.
“This is for Darby.”
He was about to jump up to run at her before she took her shot. His body flew back into his seat. The blood trickled down his nose from the bullet wound between his eyes.
“Nice fucking shot,” Viper said, visibly amazed. “We gotta go.”
I took her hand and led her back the way we came. No one had heard the shot since we’d made the decision to put a silencer on the gun earlier. As we moved down the hall, someone stepped into our path, blocking us.
I recognised him as one of her brothers. Grabbing her gun, I wheeled around and shot him in the chest before I grabbed her hand and we took off running, shooting at the fuckers who came after us.
“Hit it,” I yelled out to Wolf. “Hit it!”
We didn’t stop running until we got to the fence, just as the first explosion rocked the clubhouse.
They were designed to go off in a circle, so we needed to get out of here quickly.
Screams lit up the area as more explosions went off.
We jumped on my bike and the others jumped on theirs, riding until we got to the border.
I pulled over just as we neared Dublin. The others were directed to split up so it didn’t look like we’d taken revenge, even though we knew it could fall back on us.
I found us a nice spot and got off the bike, turning to face her. “You okay?”
She nodded. “I feel buzzy…like I have bees in me or something, but I don’t feel sad. Does that make me a monster?”
“Nah, baby, I’m the monster in this relationship,” I said, kissing her on the lips.
“You’re my monster,” she said against my lips and I chuckled at how well she suited me. “Now take me home so I can ravage you.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
I jumped back on and we rode through Dublin and down to Kilkenny leisurely, enjoying the ride and each other. Finally, I could enjoy my woman without fear of losing her.
