at Chatter, lying on the floor but I can’t see her face. She’s covered in blood and I cry out. Demon tries to calm me but I push away at his hands. I don’t want to be near him. I can’t believe he did that! How could he?

“You said you wouldn’t shoot her!” I scream.

“Did I?” Demon chuckles.

“Let her go!” Shouts Grim from the door, as he stands with Elise’s dad, Bomber and more members from their club.

“Why would I do that?” Demon asks, reaching his hands under the shirt I was given. “She’s mine.”

“Get off her, Demon!” Bomber shouts.

“Shut the fuck up, snitch.” Strike points to Bomber. “I should fucking shoot you.”

“Let her go and you can.” Bomber offers and I shake my head. I don’t want anyone else hurt.

“I’d rather have, Raven.” Strike stands by me and yanks on my hair.

A gun fires and Strike lets go of me. Demon looks towards him and it’s the distraction I need. I knee him in the balls and Demon falls to his knees. I go to run away but Twist grabs me, pushing me down to the floor and aiming his gun at me. Another round of gunfire sounds and Twist drops to the floor and is replaced by Grim. He quickly pulls me up and shoves me behind him.

I manage to look around him and see a dead Twist lying face down. Men run past me, chasing Demon. Elise and Natasha run up to me, holding me as we all fall apart.

“Grease!” Grim shouts and Elise’s dad appears. “Take them to the cars. We need to get them out of here.”

Both Natasha and Elise follow him but I stay by Grim. “Thank you.” I whisper and he smiles back at me.

“Don’t thank me yet.” He stares at me for a few seconds and then rushes off in the same direction as the rest of his club.

I don’t make a move. I know I should because Demon could run back in here and take me, but I can’t look away from Chatter as she lies on the floor. I should know her real name. She should be alive and walking away with us.

I start to cry and arms wrap around me. I smell the scent of man and his aftershave. I sink my nose in and take a deep inhale and look up to see Grim. I pull away from embarrassment.

“You ok?” He asks. “You should be outside.”

“She didn’t deserve that.” I cry, looking back down to Chatter.

I turn and cry into his chest. She didn’t deserve this, none of them did really. Why have they done this?

“Come on, you don’t look so great.” Grim is careful as he gently lifts me into his arms and because I don’t feel so great, and I’m that tired, I let him. He carries me out of my nightmare and into the fresh air I have craved for so long.

Chapter 21

I sit in between Elise and Natasha in the back of a car that was waiting for us outside the club house. Elise’s dad and Grim drive us to god knows where, but Elise told us to trust her and that we will be safe. I don’t know these men, and the only bikers I have ever known were the Devil’s and they weren’t men I could ever trust, but I do trust Elise and the men do actually seem concerned for the way we’ve been treated.

“How did you find me?” Elise asks her dad.

“Been looking everywhere princess, but thanks to Bomber, he was able to get us inside the clubhouse.” He turns around to face us all, giving us a sympathetic look. “Thank god I got there when I did.”

The rest of the drive is quiet and Elise won’t stop looking at her dad the whole time. I feel so pleased for her, it’s nice to see her so happy to be back with her family. Lucky for her, she’s not like me. I don’t have any family to go back to, they don’t even know I’ve been missing and what I’ve been through. It’s best that way. I don’t want anything to come back on Maisy.

Like Natasha, I stay quiet and embrace the fact that I am away from that place. I wished for this, even prayed at desperate times but weirdly it hasn’t settled in that I am not property of the Devil’s Spawn anymore. Demon is still out there, but he can no longer abuse my body. No longer
