Chapter 85 Logan Now that Alyssas right here in front of me , I cant take my fucking eyes off of her .
God , shes beautiful The last time I saw her , she was only seven , standing by my hospital bed with tears streaking down her face .
I was barely awake most days , but that guilt ridden look she wore burned into my memory .

Now , shes twenty two , a year younger than me , and every bit the goddess I imagined shed grow into Even if shes sitting on another mans lap .
King Sterlings glare could burn a hole straight through my head , but Alyssa she recognizes me .
I see that glimmer of recognition in her eyes .
Sering me mustve triggered her memory .
1 het Gray feels like a dumbass right now , walking into a trap 1 set with Bones help .
Of course , he warned me not to do anything reckless , or let War do anything reckless Pointing a gun at Gray mightve put a target on my back , but I couldnt resist .
Bones wants this alliance with the Crimson Reapers .
I want her .
My gaze drops to the leather vest shes wearing , marked by Kings claim .
My jaw tightens as I watch her lean into his hold , and jealousy sears through me .
But Bones will be thrilled .
Its exactly the bait we need to draw Isaac Carter out of his hiding place .
While Alex , our bartender , lines up glasses of whiskey for our guests , I keep my gaze locked on her .
Shes exactly beautiful , and resilient , even if she doesnt know it yet .
The force that pulls me towards her is as strong as ever e i remember strong willed , Mine by Sleep Token plays low in the background .
I hope she likes that I found oor of her Spotify playlists from high school .
Figured it might help her relax .
But seeing her eyes dart around , I worry if its only freaking her out more .
Suddenly , a sharp ache throbs at the back of my skull .
Wars starting to claw his way to the front of my mind , demanding to be let out , I shove ham back with everything I have .
Hes … more twisted than I ani .
Hell scare her on purpusse , just because hes a sick fucker who gets off on shit like that .
Not ver t yet , I tell him , hoping hell listen this time .
He goes silent , simmering , but the pressure builds .
Gray eyes me warily as he peers into the glass , while King and Masch just watch me like Ill jump up and bite them .
What ? I til my head , smirking .
Dont trust us ? Not exactly the best way to start an alliance , is Grays glare hardens .
Says that asshole who just threatened to shoot us , I roll my eyes .
Whose fault is that , Gray ? You kept her away from me all these years , even after the bastard father of yours was dead and gone , just so she would never find out who he really was .
He clenches his jaw , his tone a mix of venom and regret .
It wasnt for his fucking image it was to protect her .
You didnt see her… after .
She wouldnt talk , wouldnt eat .
Screamed in her sleep every single night .
I never wanted to her like that again .
Hes right .
I wasnt there , but shes not a child anymore .
If the survived years of her husbands abuse , shes strong enough to face the truth .
Well , looks like she isnt doing too bad right now .
My voice softens as I look at her .
Angel do you remember it all now ? She nods slowly , her voice quiet but steady .
I killed your … uncle .
She says it with hesitation , like the memory feels foreign on her gue Yes , my dark angel .
Youre a killer like the rest of us .
Though in my case , War does most of the dirty work .
Alyssas expression hardens .
Is that why you wanted us here ? For revenge ? Because I wont let you hurt them because of me .
King makes a sharp noise of protest Kitten , he growls under his breathe Kitten ! Guess hes got his own litle nickname for her .
Too bad she was my angel first .
I chuckle , surprised by the challenge burning her eyes .
Why would I want revenge ? My uncle was a sick bastard who only took me in for the money after my parents died .
You saved me .
Without you , he wouldve killed me .
1/3 Chapter 85 She blinks , struggling to process my words .
Even with what Gray just said ..
the memories about what happened after are still a bit fuzzy .
happened to you ! What At first , you visited me in the hospital , but once I was stable , your father threatened to kill me if I spoke a word of what happened .
You see , it was convenient that you werent talking .
He was able to convince everyone you shut down because you accidentally walked in on him shooting Sal for being a traitor .
Then , he talked your mother into fixing you .
A month later , I was sent upstate to live with some relatives .
And you..you forgot Nothing hurt worse than knowing my Erst and only friend forgot I fucking existed , and it was all thanks to Daddy dearest .
So , everything just went back to normal ? Like it never happened ? she asks , confused .
I glance at Gray , giving him the floor .
He grits his teeth and tosses back another shot of whiskey .
Not for long .
When you turned thirteen , the club was struggling financially , so he … His voice falters , pain flashing in his eyes .
He planned to sell you , Alyssa .
Said you were a woman now , that you were ready Alyssas face pales , What ? I watch as King rubs his hands up and down her arms , probably trying to keep her from spiraling .
But shes doing so well so far .
Shes too busy demanding answers to let all of this shit pull her under .
Gray continues , his voice colder now .
As soon as I found out , I confronted him about it .
He lied , but King got the truth out of him eventually Alyssas eyes widen .
How did he he plan to get away with that without Mom finding out ? You were at a rebellious stage .
He was going to make it look like you ran away , and wed just never see you again She stares in disbelief .
What in the actual fuck ? So what happened he changed his mind , didnt want to go through with selling his own daughter ? Is that why he was murdered ? Gray stays silent .
Gray ? she asks hesitantly .
The silence is a beat longer before she bolts out of Kings lap , turning to face us .
Oh my god .
You guys killed him ? I snort .
Him , and about thirty others Thirty others ? she squeaks .
The Moonshadow Creek Massacre .
Thats what bikers around here call it .
Not sure how many others know the Crimson Reapers were responsible for it , but I figured it out a long time ago .
Im still pissed they didnt invite me to the party Alyssas eyes snap to King , full of unspoken questions .
King only got the confession , Gray answers .
I put the bullet in his head , for everything he did to you and all those girls he trafficked and killed .
Then we took down everyone else involved She gasps in horror .
Fuck , Gray ..
you were all just sixteen Grays jaw ties .
That didnt matter .
My first kill was at ten .
My final task before 1 got my patch .
Ace had already taught me everything I needed to know in order to take over the MC ; we just needed to exterminate those sick motherfuckers first , And..Ace Her voice is barely a whisper .
Grays eyes grow distant .
Hardest kill of my life , but it needed to be done .
Alyssa falls silent , her mind working through it all .
It looks like her brain might explode for a second , before she finally schools her expression and turns to me .
War ..
is he your other personality ? Did L cause it ? The sound of Wars name on her lips stirs something dark inside me .
Hes been with me a long time .
I say , my voice low .
You didnt cause him , but he surfaced that day .
Grays gaze sharpens as he growls , It was never safe for you to be around her , Logan .
It isnt now , That mightve been true for anyone else .
But War and I agree on one thing .
My eyes bore into hers .
You dont need to be afraid of him , angel .
Hed never hurt you .
She nods , her gaze softening .
I know .
2/3 Chapter 85 Something warm penetrates my cold heart .
Even when the monster inside me came out that day , she didnt leave me for dead like anyone else wouldve .
Instead , she protected me .
She protected in War surges forward , like hes been summoned .
My vision blurs , and I feel myself sinking as he claws his way up .
My thoughts slip to the back of my mind , submerged , watching helplessly as his darkness spreads .
War chuckles , his gaze locking on her , and I brace myself hoping that she can still see something left of me behind his eyes .
Dont scare her asshole , I beg him , knowing he probably doesnt care .
Youll ruin everything .
