Teaching Aleck (The Last Hangman MC #2)(47)

I’m cleaning up my house, as I’ve neglected it for this past week, when I hear my phone ring. I’m not sure if I should pick up or not…I stare at it for a few rings and decide to pick up just in case.

“Hello?”

“You should listen to what the notes are telling you to do. This is your last warning.” A deep creepy voice says before hanging up.

What in the actual f*ck?

I hear a loud bang and glass shattering coming from the back door. The alarm goes off and is deafening. I shut it off and grab a baseball bat that I keep in the hall closet, and make my way to the kitchen, where the sound came from.

Someone f*cking shattered the patio door!

I scream as Ant rushes in through the broken sliding door.

“It’s me! It’s Ant!” he yells as I continue scream.

“I see that now, you f*cking scared the shit out of me!” I hold my hand over my heart, willing my heartbeat to slow down.

“Sorry, Princess, didn’t mean to scare you. What the f*ck happened? I heard your alarm go off.”

“Well, someone obviously thought it’d be a good idea to f*ck up my door.” I sigh pointing at the obvious mess.

“Did you get anymore notes?”

“Yes, this afternoon when I went to get my car in the parking lot. Also, I just had a weird phone call. They didn’t hang up this time, they said that I should listen to what the notes are telling me to do and it’s my last warning. Who the f*ck would do something like this?” I sigh.

“Fuck!” He punches one of the cupboard doors, leaving a dent in it. “Sorry, I’ll fix that. Detective Sanders’ wife also got threatening notes. Someone is after anyone related to the club from afar apparently. I’ll give him a call and let him know what happened here.” He grabs his phone and dials who I’m guessing is the detective. “Anthony here, someone threatened Charline again, new note and phone call, they spoke this time and someone shattered her back door…yes…yes…no…okay, I’ll stay with her until you get here.” He hangs up and looks at me. “Are you okay?”

“Besides the fact that I’m f*cking annoyed that someone is after me for God knows what and decided to break my backdoor, I’m good.”

“It’s okay to be scared, you know.” He rubs my back.

“Ant, I’m okay, sure a little distraught, but I can take this. I know that you have memories of what happened to Ayd playing on your mind and are scared that this is a repeat, but trust me, I can take it, I’ll be fine. I’m not going to let someone scare me with post-it notes, seriously…”

He chuckles. “You really are something, Char, I get why Aleck likes you so much.” He grins. “I’ll have someone with you every day, I don’t care if you don’t want it, until we catch this f*cker, we’re not leaving any of our women unprotected. Nothing is going to happen to any of you again, I’ll make sure of that.” He hugs me and I melt. There is nothing like a badass biker wanting to protect you, sure, he’s my best friend’s boyfriend and most importantly, not Aleck, but f*ck if it isn’t hot when they go all alpha on you.

“Thanks, Ant, means a lot. Why are they going after people not directly linked to the club though?”

“I have no idea. Until we know who is behind all of this, we might not ever know.”

“This sucks.” I sigh.

“It does, have you heard from Brian since you dumped his sorry ass?”

“No, nothing, it’s like he’s never even been in town. It’s weird.”

“He’s probably scared we’re going to kick his ass.” He chuckles and makes himself at home getting a beer from my fridge.

I raise my eyebrow and he shrugs taking a long pull from it. “Hopefully it’s just that. I’m glad I don’t have to deal with him on top of everything else. I don’t think I could cope with all of it.”

“Detective Sanders looked into him and found f*ck all, it’s like he’s really the perfect guy.” He chuckles.

“Perfect my ass! On the outside he seemed perfect, but he was okay I guess. It’s not like I was seeing much of him after my accident.”

“That’s weird.”

“Ah, well, I gave up trying to understand him long ago. He was sweet, maybe too sweet. He’s harmless, just really annoying.”

“You need someone like Aleck.” He smirks.

“Tell him that, will you?” I giggle and jump when someone I have never seen walks into the broken door.

“Will do, Princess, and it’s okay, it’s Detective Sanders.”

“Why can’t you two ring the doorbell like normal people, for f*ck’s sake?”

“We’re starting to rub on you, Char, you’re swearing now.” Ant chuckles, clearly amused by all of this.

“Piss off.” I glare at him.

“Are all your women like this? It’s really something to witness.” The detective chuckles.

“Yes, and we wouldn’t have them any other way.”

“So true. I’m Detective Sanders, as Anthony mentioned. Nice to meet you, Charline, wish it had been under other circumstances,” he says extending his hand.

“Nice to meet you too Detective, thanks for coming on such short notice,” I say shaking his hand. I don’t know what’s with the men in and around the club but they are all hotter than hell!
