“Opal killed him with a head shot.” Creed explained. “Slater and I were going to do it. When Opal did the unexpected.”
Opal went to cover her breasts. She was standing in lingerie and Kobra hadn’t stepped towards her.
“He was threat to the man I love.” She said looking directly at Kobra. “I saw an opening and I took it.”
Slater was shrugging off his jacket and I think he was going to hand it to Opal. When Kobra snapped out of his trance and shrugged off his cut, dropping it, pulling his tshirt off and stepped towards Opal. Threading it over her arms and covering her. He picked up his cut, and looked at her.
“We need to talk.”
I noticed out of the corner of my eye Slater looking up at the porch.
I turned in Creed’s arms fully. Ivy was standing there. Looking at him. Fuck. It was like a mirror image of how I felt.
Slater stepped towards dad, extending a hand. “Slater Winston.” Dad looked at his hand. “I’m father of your grandson and I’m madly in love with your daughter. I have been since I was thirteen. I might not wear your clubs cut. But I promise you, I will earn your loyalty Hades Kincaid.”
I speechless and Ivy wiped her eyes, with a broken smile.
“You already earnt my loyalty son, when you were willingly to kill your father for Ivy.” He shook Slater’s hand. “Now how about we go inside. Your three look like the massacre, you left behind.”
I wrapped my arm tightly around Creed’s back. I was not letting him out of my sight.
I went to look up at him. “Please don’t ever push me away like that again. You nearly killed me Creed.” I whispered up at him.
He cupped my face. “Don’t you remember sweetheart; you were born to be my baby.” And he quoted our song before he kissed me; and so, the missing half of my heart joined back to what was left after he destroyed me and I felt whole again. I was never letting him go.

I steppedinto the shower with Creed, and wrapped my arms around him. The water sprayed over me and he stepped out of the shower, against the shower wall, turning and the water went over my back.
His hand held my face, and he gently kissed my lips. While the other was on my back.
“I love you Holly,” he said so softly. “I know what I said and did—”
“I don’t care.” I cut him off. “You don’t understand. When I thought you were dead. My heart stopped. I felt my body shutting down. We might have had a fight, but that doesn’t stop my love for you. Creed, we always come back together. But when I thought you . .. . had . . . been.. “ And tears filled my eyes. My voice choking up.
“I’m never leaving you Holly.” He wiped the tears away. “Come on baby, you know I wouldn’t die that easily. Not when I’ve got you,” and his hand went to my stomach. “And our child. No fucker is taking me to an early grave. While I’ve got my family.”
I exhaled softly and I wrapped my arms around his neck. Titling my head back. “Good, cause I plan on having more children with you.”
He cracked a smirk. “Sounds like plan baby.” And he kissed me.
Epilogue
Epilogue toCreed and Holly
“So, with our vice back where he belongs. I just want to remind every member at this table. We’re one. These club colors run through our blood, and I have no doubt in my mind, that my son in law will one day make a good president.” He looked at me, “Even though you and Holly eloped.”
He hadn’t take Holly and I eloping well. But we married the next day after the massacre. It was legal today though. Took a month for the paperwork. But we didn’t need the paperwork to claim us as one. She was mine from the day I locked eyes on her in the lot when she dropped all that paperwork.
“So, we have one hell of a party to throw now boys,” he said and slammed his hammer down. His brothers were in town, along with Holly’s cousins. Thanatos lived up to his reputation. Khaos still said he owed me a bullet, or Hades one for being target practice. The table emptied, leaving Hades and I.
“What has you smirking son?” Hades asked.
I looked him in the eyes. “Only took me five years, a patch to another club and the death of my father to get her.”
“Was it worth it?”
“Fucking oath.” I smirked wildly and got up. Walking out to a loud club party which was in place of Holly’s and mines wedding.
