“What’s happening, please?”she asked.
“Someone attacked Erick, my brother.”
“And you think it is because of the Hell’s Bastards MC?”she asked.
“I know it is.That guy that jumped me, he’s the enemy.They have attacked Erick.”
“And you think they’re going to attack your family?”Larissa asked.
“I don’t know.I don’t know if Erick was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.In all honesty, I don’t know what the fuck is going on, but I go by my gut, and my gut is saying I need to protect my family.I need to protect you.”He helped her out of the car.“So, until I stop this, you’re staying here.”
“But what about the house?”
“The house will still be there, Larissa.I promise you.”He pressed a kiss to her head.“I love you, okay?I love you, and I will show you where you’ll be staying.”
The main clubhouse seemed to be dead.There were only a couple of prospects and a few of the members who didn’t look happy.They all nodded to him as he entered.
He saw the concern.This was a first for all of them, especially for a long time.Most of the time, no one went after family.This is what made the Twisted Bastards MC different.They had no qualms about attacking family.His brother.
He wanted to grab that cell phone and listen to what was going on, to make sure his brother was still alive.He knew Erick was a pain in the ass, and for most of their lives, he hadn’t liked him.But Erick was still his brother, and he loved his brother and didn’t want to lose him.
“This is where you’ll be staying,” he said, stepping inside his old room that he hadn’t used in some time.It was still clean, because Ava wouldn’t allow any room to go without having a quick clean.
Larissa stepped into the room, and she put a hand to her stomach.
“I want you to try and get some sleep,” Big Dick said.
“You expect me to sleep with all of this going on?”he asked.
“Yeah, I do.I know it’s ...hard.”
“Your brother has been taken.”She went to him and put her hands on his chest.“I’m here for you.”
“I know.”He took both of her hands.“And I want you here with me.But I need to take care of this.”
She pressed her head against his chest.“I love you.”
“I love you too.You’ve got our babies to protect and they need their mother to be well rested.Do that for me, baby.Please?”
“I will.”
Larissa lifted her head.“I won’t give you any reason to worry.”
He kissed her.He loved this woman, and he couldn’t believe he had nearly lost her.He counted his blessings every fucking day that she had found it in her heart to forgive him.
“I’ll be back,” he said.
He knew she wanted to tell him to stay, but he had to do this.He had to go check on the club and get updates.He needed to know if this was just Erick running his mouth, or if it was an actual attack.
Leaving the bedroom, he made his way toward the main clubhouse and stepped outside, just as he saw Hunter and Harlow’s car drive into the parking lot.The moment he caught sight of Hunter, he knew this was an attack.Blood was pouring down Hunter’s temple.Drew, his dad, stepped out of the car, holding a shotgun.
“Was there a Twisted Bastard on your property?”Big Dick asked.
“There were three,” Drew said.
“If it wasn’t for your dad, I would be dead,” Hunter said.
“What is going on?”his mother asked.“We were suddenly woken up by Hunter banging on the door, and then as your father was making his way downstairs, someone crashed through our dining room doors and started shooting.”
