Chapter 60 King What the hell happened to you ? Gray asks , staring at the healing mouth sized hickeys I left on Nikos neck the other night .
Nikos face reddens , and he rubs the back of his neck .
Uh , had a wild night with some chick I met at a bar , he lies smoothly , his eyes flickering to the .
My lips twitch at how easily he covers our tracks , how we keep this tangled web of ours tightly wound .
These are the secrets that we protect , not only for our own safety , but Alyssas as well .
Shit is getting more intense between us every day , and we dont need Gray finding out and fucking everything up .
ice cream , but after watching Alyssa wrap her naughty tongue Earlier , we all went to the park again and got ice cream after .
Im not even a fan of ice cr around the spoon over and over again , I couldnt resist sharing with her.
Once we got back , Gray dropped the news that Bones finally agreed to meet with us .
There was no hiding the tension that immediately filled the air .
The Iron Serpents are unpredictable motherfuckers , and theres a chance they could cause trouble tonight .
Is it just me or have we had one too many enemies lately ? Niko mutters , loading a magazine into his gun Thats because weve been too fucking lenient , I snarl , double checking my own weapon .
Bones isnt someone we can afford to take lightly .
Hell kill us all without hesitation , and Ill be damned if I die before I set my girls free from Isaac and put my own ring on Alyssas finger .
Gray scoffs .
Just because I dont let you go around blowing up every damn clubhouse doesnt mean weve lenient .
His voice is calm , but theres an edge I dont miss .
Hes nervous about this too .
Bet if you did , we wouldnt have these problems .
I mutter under my breath .
But the talking stops the moment Bones strides into the clubhouse with two of his men , their guns visible on their hips .
It almost feels as if theres a goddamn chill in the air .
The hair raises on the back of my neck , my senses on high alert .
Bones is tall and built , his sharp features and hollow cheeks gave him a predators appearance , like a wolf thats been starved too long .
His hair is slicked back , with just a hint of gray at the temples .
Hes wearing a leather jacket with the Iron Serpents patch , black and gray tattoos pecking our from his collar and sleeves .
His grey eyes sweep the room , assessing , measuring , calculating like hes trying to figure out the quickest way to wipe us out if necessary Ah , President Gray , Its nice to finally meet you in person , he says with a smile that doesnt quite reach his eyes .
His voice is smooth , too calm to be in his enemys territory where we could gun him down at any moment .
Hes a cocky fucker .
You couldve done that a long t g time ago insirad of sending your spies onto my fucking property , Gray retorts , his voice dripping with ice .
My apologies , Bones says with a lazy shrug .
But as a president yourself , you must understand the importance of checking out before making , house calls your neighbors I wouldnt send my men into a neighbors territory knowing theyd get killed Gray shoots back , not bothering to hide i e his disdain … Bones raises an eyebrow , Oh , Colin He was a prospect that wasnt going to make the cut anyway .
Too much of a pussy .
I figured youd be doing me a favor .
A slow burn of anger spreads through me .
Gray can be an asshole at times , but hed never purposely send his own prospect to his death without batting an eye .
That is some fucked up shit right there .
Bones eyes drift to me , his smile stretching wider .
King Sterling , Ive heard a lot about you .
The most feared man in Oregon .
Fin truly envious of your reputation .
I grunt , barely holding back the urge to rip him apart .
The way he looks at me , like he knows me , rubs me the wrong way .
I deal with people like him every day men who think theyre untouchable , that they can control everything and everyone around them .
But Im not someone you can control .
I do whatever the fuck I want , when I want unless , of course , I see that my actions will hurt the people I care about .
Grays voice slices through the tension as Bones and I have a stare off .
What do you want ? Bones leans back in his chair , that smug smirk never leaving his face .
Me ? Youre the one who asked for this meeting Your spy said you were after our client list .
Why ? Bones shrugs nonchalantly .
Like I said , its important to get to know my neighbors .
I believe Moonshadow Creek can be big enough for both of our clubs to thrive .
Chapter 601 Bullshit .
Theres no doubt in my mind that his goal is to get rid of us .
Theyre called the Iron Serpents for a reason .
Theyre just a bunch of goddamn snakes slithering around in the dark , waiting for the perfect moment to strike .
But the saying , keep your friends close , and your enemies closer , does ring true .
If theres a way to play nice with these motherfuckers for now , we should consider it I agree , Gray responds , his tone hardening .
But I also believe that you should stay on your side , and well stay on ours .
Itll keep the tension between our two clubs down Oh , so you want a treaty ! Bones asks , his eyes gleaming with amusement .
Gray doesnt answer , just watches with that cold , calculating stare of his Ill consider it .
Bones tilts his head , his voice dropping an octave .
But first , I do have a favor to ask .
My lawyers gone missing .
Vanished , really .
Just when I need him for something..pressing Gray raises a brow .
And what the fuck do we have to do with your lawyer ? Bones doesnt answer directly .
Instead , he pulls out a photo and slides it across the table .
His pretty line wife …I believe you know her .
My heart fucking stops beating .
Alyssa The tension grows in the room , Gray stiffens beside me , his jaw clenching , but he doesnt say a word .
Niko tenses , his hand inching towards his gun .
The instinct to protect her surges in both of us , but we hold back for now .
A glimmer of malicious delight reflects in Boness eyes .
Its funny , isnt it ? She looks just like you .
And her last name used to be Bennett , right ? As in Jax Bennetts little girl What the fuck do you want with her ? Niko growls , barely containing the rage radiating off him .
My vision blurs with red .
If that piece of shit even thinks about laying a hand on my kitten , Ill burn his entire goddamn clubhouse down .
With him and all of his men still inside .
Relax .
Bones drawls .
I dont want to hurt her .
I just need her help Help ! Grays voler is low and dangerous now In a week from now .
Ill need her to play a little role .
Pretend Ive taken her for ransom .
Lure her husband out so we can have a little … chat .
Grays eyes narrow , She has nothing to do with him anymore .
Bones chuckles darkly , the sound raising the hairs on the back of my neck .
This motherfucker sure is creepy Oh , I heard .
He told me how she tried to hit him with a car … and then kidnapped their infant daughter Wait , what ? She tried to kill him ? My lips witch slightly .
lightly .
Thats my good fucking girl .
If anyone wants to hurt her , its definitely him .
He wants her dead .
Even when I offered to do it for him , for a hefty price , he turned me down .
Seems to me he wants to steal the light from those pretty hazel eyes himself Did he just casually admit that he offered to kill her ! think he fucking did .
Yeah , Im gonna have to kill him .
e a damn .
I bet My blood boils , and I crack my knuckles slowly , deliberately .
His men notice , their hands reaching towards their guns , but I dont give I can kill them all before they fire a single shot .
Niko gives me a warning look , reminding me to stand down Bones quickly motions for his men to stand down , flashing me a condescending smile .
Easy there , King .
Men like us know how to world works .
Money talks , after all .
And I know the Crimson Reapers were also once willing to do whatever it took for the right price .
ad to take o Gray grits his teeth .
And thats why I had to cover .
I dont condone anyone acting like a monster like my father did .
Bones hur thoughtfully Ah , I figured you had something to do with that He looks up at me , his eyes shining brighter .
Or was it him ? Im sure 2/3 Chapter 60 with an enforcer with Kings skill set , you could do anything you weird My jaw clenches tighter .
Hes talking about me like Im some fucking secret weapon or something .
Nomething he could use for mass destruction .
I dont know what the fuck his goal is , but my loyalty lies here .
It always will .
He could never make me betray my brother Or my girl .
He continues , laughing at my expression .
As much as Id like to see a live demonstration of your work , King Sterling , perhaps your energy is bette aimed towards our conunon enemy , Isaac Carter 1 cock a brow , not buying into his game , but curious nonetheless .
Youd let me kill him ? A predatory grin spreads across Boness face .
As long as hes dead , I dont give a e a fuck who kills him Gray glances between us , assessing the situation carefully , before finally speaking in a calm , collected tone .
Let me discuss it with my men and my saster first .
Ill get back to your before the week is over , Bones clicks his tongue in mock impatience as he rises from his seat .
Better hurry .
Times ticking The tension doesnt dissipate il we watch their bikes disappear on the cameras at the front entrance .
Only then do we exhale , releasing the pressure that had built in the mom Gray pulls a pill from his pocket , swallowing it with a shot of whiskey .
Fuck .
We need to talk to to Alyssa .
