Teaching Aleck (The Last Hangman MC #2)(54)

I follow him for a few minutes before he finally spots me. “Who are you working for you sick f*ck?”

“I…I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He looks at me scared. Good!

“Don’t pretend like you don’t know what I’m talking about.”

“I…I don’t know, I was paid to drop a note in her bag I swear!”

“Who paid you?” I try to keep my calm, but it’s getting harder and harder.

“I don’t know his name, he was on a bike. Please don’t hurt me, I swear I don’t know anything else,” he pleads.

“What did he look like?” I grab him by his collar. Might as well scare him for good reasons.

“Don’t hurt me!” he screeches.

“I will unless you tell me what the sick f*ck who paid you looked like.”

“T-tall, dark hair, tanned skin, beard, weird style. I don’t know man!” What in the actual f*ck? That sounds like Ant, but why in the f*cking hell would he do such a thing? I’m sick and tired of all these mind games! Someone is clearly trying to blame it on Ant to f*ck things up in the club.

“Are you sure? Or did the f*cker who paid you told you to give me that description?” I tighten my hold on him and drag him to a secluded area.

He takes in a shuddering breath. “H-he told me to say that.”

“Again. What. Did. He. Look. Like? I’m losing patience here kid, and you don’t want to see what I’m capable of when I lose it.”

“N-no, sir. He was short, bald and a snake tattoo on his forearm.”

“That wasn’t so hard, now was it?” I throw him in a bush. “Now listen to me closely. If you need money, find something else to do than accept money from weird f*cking guys on the street. You seem like a good kid, you don’t want to know what a guy like that is capable of doing to a guy like you. If I ever see you again around her, trust me, your mother won’t be able to recognize your dead body.” I growl and stalk back to where Charline and Ally are.

“Daddy!!!!” Ally screams and runs towards me. Fuck, I didn’t plan on being seen.

“Hey, Pumpkin.” I smile picking her up. Charline looks at me confused. “I was missing my two favorite girls.” I smile at her, trying to keep my mood hidden. I can’t stay here too long, I know what I have to do to end this shit now.

“Sure…you know you don’t need to spy on us right?” She giggles.

“I know.” I sigh and kiss her temple.

“What’s wrong, Aleck?” she says softly.

I shake my head. “Not now, I’ll tell you when you get back from this trip.”

“Okay?” She looks at me confused and worried. I think she knows what’s about to happen.

“Daddy has to go, Pumpkin, I’ll come pick you up after school okay?” I smile at Ally.

“Okay, Daddy. I love you,” she says wrapping her arms around my neck and giving me a wet kiss on the cheek.

“I love you too, Ally.” I kiss her forehead and put her down. I look at Charline and can’t help but brush my lips over hers.

“Don’t even think about doing what I’m thinking you’re going to do Aleck. I’m not going to let that happen.” She glares at me after kissing me back.

“I’ll see you later,” is all I can mutter before leaving them. I’m such a f*cking *.

I park at the compound and walk straight to the Chapel. On my way, I texted Ant to tell him that I needed to talk to him, and true to his words he’s waiting for me already. I know he was busy at home taking care of Cameron and I feel bad for taking him away from his family but I didn’t want to Ayden to overhear what we are saying.

“Hey, Brother. What’s up?” he greets me and we man hug.

“I don’t know.” I sigh and sit down. “Line and Ally are out on a field trip with the class and I went there to keep an eye on them and make sure they were okay…”

“Told you you’d be * whipped.” He smirks.

“Piss off! I’m f*cking glad I went. Some f*cktard was there and dropped a note in Charline’s bag. I followed the f*cker and made him talk. He said someone paid him to drop the note in her bag and first he gave me a description of the guy who paid him, tall, tanned, black hair and beard… you could imagine what went through my mind …”

“What the f*ck?” he bellows.

“Exactly. After threatening his life, he got talking. Short, bald, snake tattoo on his forearm. Doesn’t ring a bell though.”

“Doesn’t to me either, I’ll ask Ray and see if he knows or if it’s one of his men since Blades was a f*cking traitor.”

“Thanks, Brother.” I rub my face.

“Don’t even think about ending things with her when you finally found your happy place.”

“How in the hell am I supposed to keep her safe when some f*cking * is after her?”

“By staying with her and protecting her.”

“She would be safer without me.”

“You don’t know that, besides, you really think she’s going to let you go that easily?” He chuckles.

I scoff. “No f*cking chance.”

“I know you’re not used to this, but you have something real with Charline. Don’t f*cking ruin it and break her heart again because you’re a f*cking * who can’t handle the pressure. She can handle it for the both of you. I don’t know what made her so strong over the years, but she’s something else.”
