Page 43 of Kodiak

I briefly wonder how Heels will feel about being the office manager for the security business because I fucking hatepaperwork and Xavier fucks it up more often than not. At least she’d know what she was doing.

“What about you, Fancy? Don’t you have something going with Stixx?” Peaches asks.

“Stop stirring pots, Peaches,” Pepper admonishes. “These guys may not end up being our forever, but they’ll always be our family and we’re not supposed to be plotting and planning against their old ladies. That’s treason and you know it. So just stop trying to incite a riot.”

“I’m not talking against what Kodiak and Luna have going on,” Fancy says. “I like her, she doesn’t treat us like we’re the scum of the earth. Plus, the club has helped me keep my grandma in a nice assisted living home.”

So far, the only bitch whose ass I’ll be kicking will be Peaches. I like the way the other women are standing up for the club, the brothers, and my old lady. I know the other guys will appreciate it too once they start bringing women here who they are considering making theirs.

“Well, I’ll let y’all handle your shit if you want to because I’ve been handling mine,” Peaches states, a bit too much satisfaction in her voice.

“What have you done, Peaches?” Pepper growls, and if I’m not mistaken, there will be some claws coming out soon. I’m going to let it play out though because if Peaches is the reason Luna is so sick, I want to hear it firsthand.

“Nothing too serious. She won’t die or anything but it should get rid of that brat she’s carrying. Because that kid is the only reason she’s still around,” Peaches brags.

“Again, what did you do?” Fancy reiterates the question Pepper asked.

“Did you know you can find anything on the internet? I found this nice little herb called Lobelia. It is a toxic herb that if given in large doses, can cause nausea and convulsions, and sometimes it could put the person in a coma. I’ve avoided that because I don’t want to kill the bitch, I’m not a murderer. I just want to get rid of the baby so it’s not in my way. Can’t you see it? Me being a shoulder for Kodiak to lean on while Luna is drowning in depression?”

“How did you manage to get her to ingest that?” Kitty probes and thank fuck that she does because it has me stopping from barging into the room and slitting the cunt’s throat like I want to. In this case, I need every drop of detail I can get so I can advise Dr. Limons.

“I went to the pharmacy and got some syringes and punctured the top of the case of water Kodiak went and got for her. He dropped it in the kitchen long enough to have church. It was the perfect opportunity, I knew I wouldn’t get another one like it again, so I took advantage of it and inserted the herb into her water. Thankfully, it blended in and didn’t discolor it.”

Agony claws at me as I realize I’ve unintentionally been helping Peaches with her nefarious plan, since every time Luna gets sick, I grab her a bottle of water to drink to try and keep her hydrated.

Fuck. My. Life.

“Have we heard enough yet?” Xavier asks, causing me to jump. I was so invested in what the women were saying that I didn’t hear anybody else join me in the hallway. I turn my head to see him,Stixx, and Regulator standing behind me, all wearing different expressions on their faces.

Fury.

Bewilderment.

Disappointment.

Revulsion.

Fear.

Pure, unadulterated rage.

Every single emotion flowing through me seems to be streaming through them too. The fact that I’ve been unintentionally complicit in keeping Luna so sick is gutting me right now. How Peaches could be so fucking delusional as to thinkanyof the brothers would make her their old lady is beyond me. Not that any of us look down on them for what they choose to do, because we’ve got our own sexual pasts. It’s more that none of us want to make one of the club girls ours knowing that all of our brothers have fucked them. Maybe that’s misogynistic, but I don’t think so; I don’t think a woman would like to have a permanent relationship with someone all of her girlfriends had screwed.

“I think we have enough evidence to find them guilty,” Regulator tells me, cracking his knuckles while mean mugging the door.

“I’m of the same mindset,” I state, not bothering to announce my presence as I barge into the room. All of the women jump and turn to look at the doorway.

“Peaches, you’ve been a bad, bad girl,” Xavier croons. “You’ve been tried and convicted. We’re now at the punishment phase.”

“Better let the hospital know you’re going to be late, Kodiak,” Stixx advises. “Unless we’re going to keep her on ice until Luna’s released.”

“I think we should show her what it’s like when we cool someone down,” I proclaim. “I want to give Dr. Limons the information we just overheard and don’t want to leave my old lady alone any longer than necessary. She’ll keep.”

“We’ll make sure to give her the five star treatment,” Xavier says, a sneer plastered on his face.
