Beast (The Soldiers of Wrath MC: Grit Chapter #1)(22)

“What?” he asked.

“I’ve got a target I want you to take out. Meet my son on the corner in ten minutes, you’ll have all the details.” Francis hung up, grabbed Bridget’s file, and handed it to his son. Blood covered a small patch of Rafe’s head, and he couldn’t give a shit. “Once this is delivered, go to Grit, and find out exactly what the fuck is going on.”

“It’s just a fucking cunt!”

Slapping him around the back of the head, Francis was ready to commit murder. “She’s with an MC, and one that has connections with Zeke, the sadistic bastard. This isn’t just some girl anymore. Get the fuck out of my office now.”

He waited for Rafe to leave before he picked up his laptop, throwing it across the room.

“You okay, boss?” Buster, his personal bodyguard asked, coming into the room.

“No, I’m not.”

He told Buster about what happened. “I can put a few feelers out. They can tell me what’s happening.”

“Do it,” Francis said. He wasn’t willing to take on Zeke and the MC, not for anything. But he’d contacted him again and had a hit put out on her. This needed to end, and she needed gone. This had gotten too out of hand as it was. If his fucking son had killed her in the beginning, they wouldn’t be in this mess.



“She’s not like any of the bitches he’s taken before,” King said, talking to Payne.

“She’s not, and we’ve got to start looking at this threat with Rafe seriously. I’ve always known there was someone for Beast. He was always keeping something at bay. I never knew it was his stepsister.”

King laughed. “We should have known Beast would fall for his stepsister. He doesn’t like to live by social norms, does he?”

“Nope. This shit is real though.”

“Are you reaching out to Demon?” King asked.

They were part of the Soldiers of Wrath but they were based in Grit, and had their own rules. They only spoke with the main chapter when they needed to. Payne and Demon, the Prez of the main chapter of the Soldiers, had many disagreements but they were still tight. They were united against common enemies, and no one would ever come between them.

“I’m going to call him tomorrow. He’s had some bad news.”

“Like what?”

“You know Deanna was pregnant?” Payne asked.

“Yeah.” He’d not met Deanna yet. They had yet to have a large club meeting.

“The kid ended up in the NICU because Deanna went into labor early. Didn’t look good, but last time I checked in with Nerd, and the baby is still alive.”

“Fuck,” King said. Demon was a strong man, but even King would struggle with something like that.

“Yeah, fuck. If that kid doesn’t make it, Demon is going to fucking explode, and no one is going to be able to stop it.” Payne wiped a hand down his face. “Zeke gave me a call as well.” Zeke, the Dominion club owner and one sadistic son-of-a-bitch, had been working with the main chapter of the Soldiers. The Grit Chapter didn’t know much about that, and didn’t care since it didn’t concern them, but they were still in in loop about the type of man Zeke was.

He didn’t put up with shit, took out anyone that threatened him, and even though he was dangerous, he was on the same side as the Soldiers. That would come in handy for the whole Rafe situation.

“Francis is on the lookout for Bridget. I have my sources as to how I get information. Nothing new has happened but as an associate to the Soldiers, he figured he’d give me a warning.”

They hadn’t gotten mixed up with Zeke’s shit, mainly because they didn’t live close enough. Everything was going to fucking hell, and it was getting close to an outright war.

“Shit is about to get real,” King said. For his Brother, he would do whatever it took to keep Bridget safe. She belonged to Beast, and that made her Grit Chapter property and under their protection.





Chapter Seventeen




“The club is on lockdown,” Beast said from the doorway.

Fear and dread filled Bridget, and she knew that it was about to get even worse.

“Tell me what’s going on.” Of course, she knew it had to do with Rafe, but she needed to know the details. She’d come here because she was in trouble, had put everyone in danger, and she needed to know what they were up against in unflinching details.

Beast stood there for a second before walking into the room and shutting the door. Her hands shook and perspiration started to dot her forehead. Although she’d entrusted her life to Beast, loved him more than she’d ever loved anyone else, she was worried about how far Rafe’s reach could extend. Rafe and Francis knew people, had connections, and she couldn’t stand to see Beast or the club hurt because of her.

“Baby,” Beast said and sat beside her. He turned so his body faced hers, and she did the same so that they were now looking at each other.

“I’m scared, Beast,” she whispered, not about to lie to him. There would be no point in not being truthful, especially since she knew he could tell she was about to lose it.

“You trust me, baby?”

She licked her lips and looked down at her hands. They were clasped together in her lap, but she nodded. “I do trust you.” She felt his finger under her chin, and then he was lifting her head, forcing her to look at him.
