“I knew you’d agree this is the best ending to this mess.” She motioned to Brick. “So, get on with it already.”
I walked over to Brick and lifted the muzzle of my gun to his forehead, He glared at me as if he could light me on fire with his gaze.
“It was always going to end like this for you.”
“She’ll kill you,” he growled.
“Maybe.”
“You’ll be her pet. How pathetic, she’ll have you on a leash and every night you’ll fuck my sloppy seconds.”
“I’m done with you.” I squeezed the trigger and his blood sprayed forward, covering my chest.
His body slumped, and the man who was holding him ungracefully dropped him.
“Great.” Colette clapped. “Now we can get down to business.”
I raised my revolver to her. “I don’t think you thought any of this out very well.”
“You shoot me; you’ll fall with me.”
I chuckled. “I don’t think I will.” And with that, I let my bullet fly.
CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE
KONA
“Oh, my God!”I gasped when Brick’s body hit the ground. “Fuck,” I uttered the second Colette did. I swore I was about to witness Angel dying right before my eyes, but what happened next would shock me forever.
Colette’s men lifted their guns. Shep, Gabe, Four, and Nick rushed out of the van, but it wasn’t them who took her guys out. It was the Dead Kings. They’d been so focused on Angel, they hadn’t considered that Tank and the others would turn on them.
“Holy shit!” JJ covered his mouth.
Once Colette’s people were down, the Kings pointed their guns at the brothers and the Saints did the same to them. I couldn’t sit here anymore. I pulled open the van—much to JJ’s, Mason’s, and Noel’s upset—and did a colossally bad thing. I stood between the two groups.
“What the hell, Kona!” Angel said at the same time Tank yelled, “Get out of the way.”
“No. Stop. Enough! She’s dead, Brick and his followers are dead. Leo is dead, Darby’s dead, so many people are fucking dead. Can’t we stop?”
I held my breath as Tank and Angel glared at each other. If this whole thing was going to fall apart, I’d be in the middle ofit. I wasn’t going to sit in some van and watch Angel and his brothers get killed, not when I was part of this.
It was Tank who lowered his gun first. Everyone followed suit after. “The Dead Kings are driving out of here tonight. We’re done with this town. We have to rebuild, bring the MC back to what it was originally going to be.”
“You leave and don’t return.” Angel’s voice was like ice.
Tank chuckled. “We cross paths again, one of us isn’t walking away.”
“That’s for fucking sure,” Shep responded.
Tank gestured to the bodies. “Have fun cleaning up.”
“Get the fuck out of here before you and your crew join them.” Four placed his hand on the gun he had tucked in his holster.
Tank shook his head, then met my eyes. “This really the group you want to stick with?”
I quirked a brow. “Like I’d go with you.” I smiled at Angel. “But yeah, this is the family I’m choosing.”
Tank rolled his eyes. “Watch yourself, Kona.”
