Teaching Aleck (The Last Hangman MC #2)(68)

“You are the one who f*cking punched her! How can it be Aleck’s fault?”

“Because he f*cking stole my woman, but I’m going to one up him. I’m going to kill his woman and his daughter. We’ll see how he is able to deal with all of it.”

“The cops are on their way and so is Aleck.”

“Aww, the more the merrier!” He chuckles and wraps his hands around my neck, squeezing tight. “See, you have roughly ten minutes left to live if I’m being nice on you. Which I’m not, so the chances of either the cops or Aleck arriving in time are slim to none.” He smirks and applies more pressure, literally squeezing the life out of me.

I’m gasping for air, my vision starts to blur. I try to reach for his face, to scratch him or anything I can do to cause him pain. To my despair, he’s too strong for me and I can’t move. I feel myself slowly slipping away.

I feel the darkness swallow me whole, when I hear a faint crashing noise. I’m too far gone to realize what’s happening, but the pressure quickly disappears. Soon enough, I’m coughing and gasping for air. I look around, not sure what’s going on, confused and disoriented. All I see is Brian on the floor, and someone pounding the shit out of him.





CHAPTER 30



Aleck

I finally make it to Charline’s place. I broke every f*cking speed limit that was on my way, but I don’t care. The house is still dark and nothing seems out of place. I see something from the corner of my eye move in the first level window. I look up and see Ally. She is in tears and looks f*cking terrified. I don’t think twice. I kick the front door open and the scene in front of my causes me to feel a rage I have never felt before.

Brian, out of all the f*cking people, is strangling Charline. I charge at him and tackle him to the ground.

“You sick bastard.” I start pounding the shit out of his face. I’m past the point where I can be stopped. He needs to die for what he was about to do to my woman and my daughter. Each blow hits harder and stronger than the one before, I want, no, need to make him pay for all those years he was threatening Charline, for scaring my daughter, for trying to kill Charline.

By this time, I know I could stop, he’s dead. He’s been motionless and breathless for the past couple of blows, but I just can’t stop myself. I only pause when I hear Charline scream my name then loud noise and a sharp pain in my back and side. I collapse to the ground, feeling a deep burning sensation in my left side.

“Did you really think you would get out of this alive, you motherf*cker?” I turn and see our new prospect shoving Gabe to the ground who lands with a grunt.

“W-why?” I gasp in pain.

“I’ve been part of the Hades’ Kings for a while now. Didn’t think you guys would be stupid enough to let me in your club and on some of the intel. Thank you though, helped us a lot. Now you two are going to die, not slowly enough to my liking, but adding the VP and sergeant at arms of the Last Hangman to my kill list is still pretty sweet.”

“You forgot something, you sick f*ck.” I hear Charline say in a raspy voice. She aims a gun at him and pulls the trigger, shooting him right in the head. He collapses on the ground and she kneels to my side, putting pressure over my gunshot wound. “Don’t you dare die on me, Aleck!” she says through her tears.

“I’ll try my best,” I say coughing up blood.

“You better be okay.” She sniffs and grabs my cellphone. She dials a number and talks to someone, but I can’t make out what she’s saying. The pain is too strong.

“What the f*ck happened here?” I faintly hear someone say, but don’t recognize the voice.

“Long story. Can you get Ally, she’s upstairs.”

“Of course.” Who’s going to get my daughter?

“W-who’s that?” I groan in pain.

“Detective Sanders. I called him, I was too late though. I’m so sorry.”

“I…I’ll be okay.” I cough up blood again and hear Ally crying. It breaks my heart that she’s had to go through this at such a young age.

I feel myself slowly slip away, the pain is too strong for me to fight it. I think back on the first day I met Charline, how beautiful, sweet and incredibly shy she was.

I’m sitting on my bike, shooting the shit with the guys outside of the compound, like most days. One thing is different today though. Ayden is walking over to us, but she’s not alone. She brought a f*cking angel with her. She is perfect. Petite, very light blonde hair, big blue eyes that seem too big for her face, perfectly pouty lips, porcelain skin and the perfect curves for her tiny frame. I don’t believe in love at first sight, or love at all for that matter, but if I did, she’d be the girl I’d want by my side for life.

She blushes hard when she reaches us and barely talks, she’s painfully shy, but it makes me want her so much more. I want to see how she would feel under me, how she would look screaming my name in pleasure, how she would react to rougher rounds in the bedroom.

Ant elbows me. “What the f*ck at you thinking about? You’re scaring Charline staring at her like that!” He laughs.

“Sorry. I’m Aleck.” I smile at her.

“H-hi,” she replies shyly and I’m gone. She’ll forever hold my heart, even though she doesn’t know it…
