Chapter 4 King I never thought Alyssa Bennett would reach out to me .
For her to be that despe of shit husband .
I guess she finally got tired of her piece Its been a while since Ive driven anything other than my bike , tur when she called , I pulled my truck out of its resting place in the garage .
I park beside the red car on the side of the road , the sun starting set on the horizon .
Alyssa immediately jumps out of the drivers seat and rushes to the rear .
First , she grabs a diaper bag , hen a car seat .
1 squint to make sure Im seeing it right .
Yeah , its a fucking car seat .
Stepping out of my truck , I offer to help with her bag .
I watch as he secures the car seat in my backseat .
I didnt know what to expect , but a real baby dressed in a pink onesie and making lile noises , wasnt it .
Maybe its her niece or something .
I wonder silently .
Its been three years since I last saw Alyssa , and shes really grown up .
Im not sure if its for the better or worse .
worn out , like shes been fighting for her life ..
And I have a gut feeling she has been .
She looks Shes wearing a black hoodie and jeans .
Her dark curly hair is pulled into a messy bun , strands escaping to frame her face There are dark circles beneath her hazel eyes .
And if I wasnt the observant son of a bitch I am , I wouldnt have noticed that theres makeup on her cheeks , poorly concealing the purple blotches underneath .
The sight boils my blood .
I shouldnt have listened to Gray , we couldve saved her a long time ago .
I dont give a fuck if she didnt leave willingly , I wouldve killed that motherfucker and bought her back home .
Alyssa jumps into the front seat and quickly buckles herself .
Her knee bounces nervously , and she gnaws on her lip as I climb back into my seat .
Can we leave already ? she asks , her voice edged with tension .
Any reason were abandoning your car on the side of the road ? ask , raising an eyebrow .
I wonder if I push enough , shell be honest about whats going on .
We could always make a pit stop by her house , and deal with the issue .
Its been a few days since Ive had my fill of violence , anyway .
Its dead , she answers , but theres a hint of anxiety in her tone that I dont miss .
I have some jumper cables in the back .
I could just- The engine is dead , not the battery , she interrupts , her words rushed .
Do you want me to call a tow truck ? I ask , sensing her growing more antsy by the second .
Yeah , shes lying her ass off .
No , its okay , Isaac says he will pick it up when he gets back home , she says , the lie slipping smoothly from her lips .
Wanna call him and make sure ? 1/3 Chapter 4 No , thats okay , Her desperation is starting to become more evident , but I can tell shes trying to maintain her calm demeanor .
I smirk at the effort .
Have somewhere to be , Kitten ? She doesnt answer , her hazel eyes silently pleading with me .
Usually , I enjoy fucking with her , but Ill save that for later .
When shes safely in my home .
I pull back onto the highway , glancing between her and the car sat in the back .
1 clear my throat .
So , whos the kid ? I ask nonchalantly .
Zuri , she murmurs , And shes- My daughter .
Interesting .
I dont recall Gray saying anything about her having baby .
Actually , I think they only speak once a month .
And the phone calls are usually five minutes or less .
I should beat Grays ass .
That shouldve been the biggest red flag he needed right there.
How old is she ? I ask , trying to keep my emotions in check .
Seven months .
I hate little crotch goblins never imagined myself having one but jealousy and anger still bubble beneath the surface .
Isaac Carter was the first man to fuck her , to breed her .
Lucky motherfucker .
That was supposed to be me .
But Niko and I made a pact when we were teenagers ; since we both liked her , neither of us could have her .
She looks like you .
Got your curls .
Alyssa smiles weakly .
Yeah , she does .
As we drive , out of the corner of my eye , I can see Alyssas eyes darting to the side mirrors , checking for any signs that her husband is following us .
The tension in her shoulders slowly eases as we put more distance between us and her abandoned Finally , she shifts her gaze to me , where it belongs .
So , wheres Gray ? Im surprised he hasnt called me back by now .
1 grunt .
Havent seen him much lately .
But you know how it is with the club always something going on .
Im sure hell call back soon .
you I know my brother has his own shit going on .

But when he texts me to go handle someone , I do it without question .
Thats my job , and I enjoy the fuck out of it .
Alyssa snorts .
I think you mispronounced gang .
Lets be forreal , its a gang I pick the disdain in her tone , but she has no idea why we have to do what we do .
Thats how its meant to be .
Gray wanted her to be a clueless little kitten , and Ive never had the time or fucking energy to argue with him about it .
up Until now .
Matter of fact , I think the topic will be coming up very soon .
Can we actually stop at Target real quick ? I need a few things , Alyssa asks , nervousness creeping into her voice again .
Sure .
I pull into the nearest Target , and park halfway down the parking lot , since its always so goddamn packed .
Alyssa quickly hops out of the truck , but before she can close the door , I shout , I think you forgot something Chapter 4 She furrows her brows .
What I point to the car seat , unease settling in my gut .
Youre leaving the kid here ? Yeah , Zuris asleep , she says , emphasizing her name .
Tll be quick .
Youd be surprised by how long she still sleeps I watch as she runs into the store , leaving me alone with her creh goblin I have no fucking idea what to do with Only minutes after Alyssa is in the store , Zuri starts crying Fuck .
Maybe I can just ignore her and leave her be .
Im guessing hell eventually cry herself back to sleep or something The cries quickly become louder , more demanding .
Goddammit , Fine .
Reluctantly , I reach behind , struggling to undo the restraints before pulling her out of the seat .
Grimacing .
I awkwardly hold her in my arms , and she immediately stops crying , snuggling into my chest .
God , I hate this .
Why didnt she just take her with her ? As the goblin gazes up at me , I notice that her eyes are the same as Alyssas .
Yeah , definitely her child .
And theres unfortunately some of Isaacs DNA mixed in there too .
Her tiny fingers grab my shirt , and I feel a pang of something in my chest .
Maybe its that big ass burger I ate earlier clogging my arteries .
Whatever it is , I shove it aside , glancing around the parking lot to ensure theres no danger .
A coo grabs my attention again , and I frown down at her .
Look , kid We can be cool , but dont try to get in my way .
Me and your mother have some unfinished business that I plan on taking care of tonight .
She babbles in response .
Good .
Im glad we understand each other .
