well as the stupid bitch who had to go and get knocked up. She was mine and you fuckin’ put your bastard in her. You’re gonna die for touching her, same as that bitch is going to die for trying to protect that little bastard,” Sam snarls as he and I stalk around each other like predators in the wild sizing each other up.
When Sam finally moves, I move as well, bringing one of my clawed covered hands up and slashing downward slicing through his face catching his eye. His screams don’t stop me as I continue to bring the claws down on Sam. Shredding over and over until his guts are showing.
“Oh, fuck, that’s sick.” I hear one of my brothers grumble as another of them touches my arm.
“It’s over,” Stoney says, calmly as I start to come back to myself. “Why don’t you go see Tinsley and Cody? We’ve got this.”
I nod at the suggestion. That’s exactly what I need right now. My woman and kid, but first I need a shower. Tinsley doesn’t need to see me covered in blood, and I sure as fuck don’t want to see the horror in her eyes at the sight.
Making my way to the clubhouse, I detour to the back of the clubhouse where the ring is along with an extra bathroom. Turning the shower on, I make quick work of cleaning myself. Not wanting to waste a moment.
Soon as the water runs clear again, I shut the water off and grab a towel wrapping it around me. I grab my cut and leave the rest for later.
Stalking through the clubhouse, I ignore the eyes of the women sitting around and make my way to my room. I’d asked Tinsley to stay in the room with Cody until I said otherwise for my peace of mind. I’d heard the stories of what happened to some of my other brothers. I didn’t want to have to worry about something happening to her.
Opening the door to my room, my mind clears at seeing my woman lying on the bed, Cody lying in the crook of her arm as she sang to him. Tinsley’s gaze lifts to mine when she notices me closing the door. One of her brows lifts in question and I shake my head. Dropping the towel, I grab a pair sweats and pull them up.
I climb onto the bed, placing a kiss to the top of Cody’s head, I lean over him to kiss Tinsley. “It’s over.” I murmur when I pull back. Her eyes widen at the knowledge before she nods and leans toward me again.
“I love you, Coyote,” she whispers against my lips. “Thank you for making me feel safe for the first time in a really long time.”
“Luce Mia, I love you too. You don’t have to thank me for doing something I’ll be sure to do for the rest of my life. You tame what’s inside me, baby, and I look forward to what’s to come,” I whisper, nipping at her lips.
“Hmm, taming Coyote. I like it, maybe we can put Cody in his playpen and you can show me more on how to tame the beast.”
Grinning, I get up off the bed and scoop my son into my arms and gently put him down where he sleeps when here. “Sorry, buddy, but Daddy and Mommy are going to play.” I whisper.
Turning back to Tinsley, I give her a devilish grin. “You ready for the beast, baby,” I ask.
“More than ready,” she giggles as she sits up and removes her shirt.
Seeing the bra that matched the underwear I’d seen earlier is all it takes, and I pounce on her like the prey of a predator. Only instead of making her a meal for one night, I intend to feast on her every night for the rest of my life.
She’s the other half of my soul and I’ll do anything to protect her. She may have tamed what’s within, but that doesn’t mean it won’t come out to take care of those who threaten.
I’ll forever be grateful to Milley for sending her to me. I hate that she had to die, but the beast made sure to seek its vengeance for her and I’ll do everything in my power to make sure our son knows who she was and the sacrifice she made for him. And for the woman Milley chose to take her place.

Glancing around the room, my heart is filled with joy
