Story: Cost of Courting
There’s no thought, just this hot, deep, feral rage. I hit into him over and over. He shoves me back and dodges my next few blows. He lands a couple before we break apart, circling.
“You remember now,” he smirks. “You wouldn’t give me anything. No words, no reactions, just your screams.”
“I remember everything,” I growl. My voice is harsh. “I didn’t call for her. How did Benson know about Selene?”
“His whore, of course. She sold you to me, and she sold Selene to him, too.”
Only one person fits that description; Octavia.
“I was looking forward to killing you,” Hammer says in a deep voice. “It was the conclusion, the natural end to our relationship, but you ran and disappeared. I have been looking for you everywhere.”
“I’ve been looking for you, too.”
I lunge towards him again, and the blows we exchange are savage, but while I have speed, his blows are heavier. We’re fairly evenly matched, much to my disgust.
Bailey slams into someone who is about to charge me, and they go down in a tangle. I’m distracted enough that Hammer gets a good hit at me. My right cheek goes numb with the blow.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Selene fighting with Benson. She’s winning. He’s bleeding from a whole lot of cuts on his face, and his shirt is ripped.
“I’m going to kill you and take your omegas and kill them together,” Hammer growls. “It’s been hell putting up with that idiot and this so-called gang. Hiding in plain sight just to find you, wasting all these years.”
I throw my head back and laugh. “Good luck. You can’t handle those omegas.”
A person stumbles in between us, and Hammer looks at me and smiles widely.
“Andy!” I shout.
He can’t hear. I lunge forward and shove him out of the way. Hammers’ fist comes down hard on the side of my head.
I land heavily on the ground, stunned.
I see Edric fighting to get to me. Kingston is running from too far away. Selene whips her head in my direction and screams. Bailey shouts.
Hammer lifts his fist in slow motion.
I won’t survive this.
I struggle to get my legs under me, but my head is spinning, and I can’t get my balance.
I have a moment to regret my choices and everything that happened tonight, and then I’m focused on him. This horrible alpha who needs to die.
He staggers back, clutching his shoulder.
I get up and turn, finding a tiny blond.
“No one touches my family.”
“Lia!” Zaden growls, and she’s snatched up by another growling biker and vanishes. The Mirakill MC prez reaches a hand down and pulls me up.
I shake my head to clear it as he disappears and turn to look at Hammer.
Everyone is on their knees. Each alpha has an alpha or beta in leather behind him with a gun to his head. No one can move now. It’s over.
It was a short, brutal fight, but the Crimson Cobras had no chance. This was the inevitable outcome.
Selene walks along the line like a general. “I want these two. You can do whatever you want with the rest.”
“Okay, little omega,” Andy snorts. “Should I be calling you boss now?”
“You remember now,” he smirks. “You wouldn’t give me anything. No words, no reactions, just your screams.”
“I remember everything,” I growl. My voice is harsh. “I didn’t call for her. How did Benson know about Selene?”
