“Fury, who is on gate duty?” I ask. He quickly raises the camera on his phone and winces, admitting, “Tony.”

I groan, “Great, Clara is going to kick my ass,” I look at Fury, “Call Venom and let him know he has to fire his cousin. He knew he’d be responsible for him, and allowing the president of our enemy onto club grounds is just fucking stupid.”

“Hey, I ain’t an enemy. You are the one attacking my goods and prospects, then sending body parts to my front door where kids fucking play,” Axe cuts in, and we both look at him with raised brows. He looks at us confused and demands, “What, you have been, and yet here I am, putting all that behind me so I can find my fucking sister who has been missing for nearly four weeks!”

I frown, and the words from the prospect we killed months ago come back to me.

“I don’t think Axe knows….”

“You haven’t sent your prospects to attack my club’s businesses, have you?” I confirm, and his head rears back in shock as he asks, “Why the fuck would I do that?”

I nod, then demand, “Fury,” and he moves next to me while getting the footage up on his phone before turning the screen, showing the latest hits on Dark Angel’s Girls, mainly the part where they are raping the girls.

I watch closely as confusion shows over Axe’s face, who is allowing me to see everything before shock then pure anger takes over as he growls, “What the fuck?!”

“Looks like you’ve got a traitor that wants to start a war, Axe. Which nearly fucking worked if we hadn’t got sidetracked the past few weeks. An officer’s grandfather was killed four months ago by your prospects,” Fury states, and by sidetracked, he means trying to find Luna.

Axe’s jaw ticks. “You don’t have my sister, do you?” he confirms, and I shake my head and admit, “No, I don’t, but I have been trying to find her.”

He scoffs, “Why? You want to use her against me as revenge for the shit someone in my club had caused behind my back, using my distracted state because the relationship with my sister had broken down worse than it had years ago when she accused my best friend of raping her, lying for attention.”

I try not to show my emotions like he has, keeping the shock of his words off my face.

Luna didn’t seem like the type to lie about something so serious, yet she lied to me, so what do I know, right?

Something niggles in the pit of my stomach, and I clear my throat and decide to put a pin on his accusation regarding his sister. Something that most likely is what caused her not to speak to him to begin with, and decide to tell him the truth.

“No,” I finally say, and we lock our eyes. “I fell in love with her,” I admit, and his eyes widen in shock, “I fell hard for her when it was just supposed to be sex, then my mother decided to throw a curveball and tell me she was your sister.”

“Fuck, you thought I sent her to you?” he confirms, and I nod once, now suddenly seeing that was clearly not the case.

She just didn’t want to tell me who her family was, that was her only crime. But for me, it is something fucking major, especially when she knows more about me than some fucking brothers do.

“She ran after I told her I’d slice her throat if she didn’t leave my property before digging the knife in and claimed that I was going to get my dick sucked to hurt her the way she hurt me,” I admit, and he glares at me, but I just shrug and ask, “How would you react if you found out the woman you were falling in love with omitted the truth to who she was related to and not only that but the person was a president of an MC trying to ruin your club?”

He winces but nods, seeing where I’m coming from. I sigh, looking around the garage before locking eyes with Fury. He nods, encouraging me to tell him, and I groan, “I haven’t been able to find her. Every time we believe we have a lead, it becomes a loose end.”

Axe curses and turns away, linking his fingers behind his head, breathing hard, before he turns to me and promises, “I’ll find the traitor in my club. I’ll fucking sort that shit out if you help me find my sister.”

“He’s already been trying to find her, Axe. That isn’t something that is going to change,” Fury butts in, and I add, “Maybe you need to look closer to your right-hand man,” and Axe furrows his brows at me. I shrug and admit, “The prospects we tortured expressed Brock was the person who gave the orders. He’s also the same person I saw glaring at Luna one morning at Big Macenzie’s Grub, and I’m going to go out on awhim here and guess he was the person she’s accused of raping her.”

Axe sniffs hard and states, “Brock would never fucking hurt her, never. He sees her as a little sister.”

“And yet your VP may be trying to start a war between our clubs,” Fury adds, and I tilt my head at Axe.

I swear if his VP has hurt Luna, heads will fucking roll. Lie or not, she’s my fucking girl, and it has taken me a lot to admit it, but she is. I’m in love with her, and despite her omitted lies, I’ll fucking kill for her, even the VP of a rival club.

Axe looks at me and demands, “If you find anything, call me, and I’ll do the same with you,” then turns and storms away as Fury mutters, “Guess he has a lot of thinking to do and maybe even some observations on someone I’m guessing he sees as family more than his own blood sister.”

I nod as Fury walks away towards the Rover and I watch Axe walk to the gate where his bike is parked. I swallow hard as the burnt B on Luna’s right hip comes to mind, and my heart stops.

Fuck, was she abused by Brock?

Luna – Five Months Later

“Okay, class, that is it for today. I need you to complete five chapters on mental health by the next class because there will be a quiz that will go towards your grade,” Professor Andy says loudly and everyone groans, but I just close my book and put it away, feeling numb, always so numb.
