Kace (Shattered Souls MC #3) - Heather Dahlgren Page 0,56

Turns out he was living a double life. The happily married man with a son and the single guy who fucked as many chicks as he could. When my mom pulled out the gun I was frozen in my seat. It was my gun. I was getting ready to be a prospect for Shattered Souls and she found my gun. I watched her in total shock as she screamed while she killed him. But when she turned to me, crying and told me she loved me and shot herself in the head, I was destroyed. I lost them both and along the way anytime I needed someone they left. Except for Zane and my Shattered Souls family. I wouldn’t have survived without them. Now I’m going to have a family of my own and I will never be like my father and destroy them. I promised Ivy I would come home to her and I will always keep my promises to her.

The sound of bikes brings me back to the present and the problem at hand. I grab my AR15 and look through the scope. Zane, Brooks, and Enzo turn looking toward the sound. I keep my focus on them ready to kill Damon and the threat that the Raging Devils bring. I notice Z glance at Brooks and the worry in their eyes. I put my gun down and look around. That’s when I notice it’s not just Hawk, Bane, Damon, and Casper. There are at least twenty guys.

“Fuck,” I whisper.

Zane scratches his head, letting us know to stand down. Fuck. I glance over at Riley and Alex and they both shake their heads. They knew it was a set up. Just as I look back over at them, I see Hawk shoot Brooks in the foot. We all rush out as Zane drags Brooks away. Everyone has guns drawn and I warn Riley with my eyes to not shoot first.

“Shattered Souls fucked up. We’ll be taking over Club Kingsley and Souls now,” Hawk shouts, laughing.

“No fucking way,” I hear myself saying before I can stop.

Damon laughs as he takes a step closer to me. “You’re mine.”

More gun fire rings out just as we hear sirens. They all rush to their bikes and peel out of there. I run over to Brooks and Zane.

“Get the fucking van,” Zane yells.

Finn takes off to get the van as Enzo helps Zane get Brooks up.

“They are fucking dead,” Brooks growls.

“Time to burn it all to the ground,” Porter says.

Shooting one of us is one thing, but shooting our president means they all die.

“Alex, Porter, Kace, you go back to Souls and make sure they are safe. Do not fucking leave and keep your eyes peeled. No one in or out. Zane and I will take Brooks to the hospital and meet you back there when we can. Finn will go back with you guys. We strike tonight, no more fucking around. These assholes are dead,” Enzo says.

Adrenaline courses through my veins as I stand there. “Get Brooks out of here, we’ve got this,” I say. I dart for my bike, the realization that the Raging Devils have a head start on us. We need to get back to Souls and make sure they are all safe. The others follow behind and we race to Souls. Fear wraps around me as I think of Ivy in trouble. I will fucking kill them with my bare hands if anything happens to her. Damon’s threat was crystal clear, and I know that sick bastard will kill me with a smile. I need to get to him first. I need to make sure Ivy and the baby are safe from all this shit.

When Souls comes into view and I notice it’s still standing, and nothing looks off so I relax a little. We race inside, locking the door behind us. Everyone is talking, laughing, and completely unaware of the danger outside the door. My eyes roam around looking for Ivy and when I notice her talking to Harper, I stride over. I step between them, lifting her up and crashing my lips to hers. She moans in my mouth as my tongue touches hers.

“Damn, I guess everything went better than we hoped,” Harper says.

I try to ignore her, but her words squeeze at my throat and I break the kiss. Ivy slides down my body, but I keep her close to me. “No, nothing went as we hoped. Shit is about to get real bad. Brooks
