Chapter 1
Harley gasped as she sat upright, the horrible nightmare she’d simply escaped fading to the background as she realized it was only a dream. She slammed her hand in opposition to the mattress in frustration as she tried to calm her respiration.
All of the progress she’d revamped the previous 12 months had been worn out in seconds. Most of them she couldn’t bear in mind. She swung her legs over the aspect of the mattress and regarded across the room she’d known as hers for the reason that Ravens had taken her in.
She chuckled underneath her breath on the description that severely downplayed how she’d come to be within the firm of the Ravens. Pushing herself right into a standing place, she stretched earlier than strolling over to the small window and pushed the curtain apart.
She hadn’t slept lengthy. The solar was on the brink of set. Which means she’d be on shift quickly. That was the one motive she’d lie right down to nap. Raven events had a method of not ending till the solar rose. She wanted to have the ability to keep alert till issues winded down.
Strolling again to the nightstand, she picked up her mobile phone and confirmed that she had woken up sooner than deliberate. Turning off the alarm she’d set, she gathered up her outfit for the night time and the gadgets she would want to bathe earlier than exiting her room and heading towards the communal toilet on the farthest finish of the corridor. It was the one least prone to be occupied.
Her toilet streak of luck was nonetheless together with her, and he or she hustled inside and locked the door. Whereas she didn’t must rush, she wasn’t going to hog the lavatory like among the different candy butts did. Being a bitch for no motive didn’t enchantment to her.
Not all of them have been imply, however most have been—particularly in the event that they noticed you as competitors.
After a fast bathe, she brushed her tooth earlier than becoming her normal work outfit. A graphic tank high and denims. She gathered her stuff and opened the door solely to discover a hand raised, able to knock.
“Hey, Ginger,” Harley greeted.
“Hello, Harley. You’re up early,” she replied.
“Yeah, I didn’t sleep properly, so I assumed I’d benefit from the empty toilet,” she admitted.
Ginger frowned. “Every part okay?”
“All good,” she confirmed. “Now go on earlier than somebody is banging on the door earlier than you’re completed.”
“Thanks. See you downstairs in just a few.”
Harley entered her room and tossed her soiled garments into the laundry basket earlier than pulling a pair of unpolluted socks out of her drawer. Sitting on the sting of her mattress, she kicked off her home sneakers and pulled them on earlier than sticking her ft into her fight boots. As soon as they have been laced, she situated a brush and ran it by her still-damp hair earlier than pulling it right into a ponytail, then twisting it upward, securing it with a clip.
A short while later, she headed downstairs and made her method by the clubhouse, greeting just a few of the members and prospects she noticed on the way in which. She stepped behind the bar, and her thoughts went into work mode.
She started doing a list of what she wanted to carry from the again. The irony of how snug she felt on this atmosphere was not misplaced on her, even after the whole shit present that had gone down about six months in the past.
The Prez of the MC that Blue had grown up in had taken her. Fortuitously, it hadn’t taken the Ravens lengthy to get her again, however she’d been banged up fairly properly. Blue additionally hadn’t been the one sufferer. Santos, one of many Raven members, had been stabbed within the chest, and Harley had acquired a tough knock to the again of the top, leading to a light concussion.
It was traumatic for everybody, however some good had come out of it. Blue had lastly bit the bullet and mentioned sure to being the previous girl of Stone and Rock, the Prez and V.P. of the Raven. Sure, each of them—a little bit unconventional. Then once more, not a lot was standard of their world.
Blue married Rock three months in the past, adopted by a dedication ceremony to Stone. Harley hadn’t even tried to cover that she’d cried her eyes out over how pleased she was for her buddy. She’d had a shitty life earlier than the Ravens as properly and deserved all of the happiness her coronary heart might deal with.
