The outdated man smiled, realizing I craved revenge. Not solely did I crave it, however I might additionally cease at nothing to have it. That was why I used to be referred to as the monster I used to be.

“Don’t misinform me Levi,” he mentioned.

“Okay, you bear in mind what the Asphalt Gods did to my sister, Leia? We plan to string her up like that, crucify her. Ship a fucking message. Loud and clear.”

By way of this complete mess, I hadn’t forgotten about why I wished revenge on the Gods within the first place. Murdering Killer hadn’t been sufficient. I didn’t even bear in mind it. For years I wished nothing however to punish certainly one of their girls like they did my sister. It might be Maren’s destiny. My thirst for revenge grew stronger with on daily basis I looked for her.

“A watch for a watch? Or reasonably, a lady for a lady? I get it.” Merc poured me one other drink, contemplating my request. “I’d know the place she is, nevertheless it’ll value you. I want you to do a job for me first.”

And there it was, one more reason I had not taken the simple approach out to seek out my mark. I tensed at his request, realizing that Merc’s jobs have been by no means straightforward. They actually weren’t authorized. As a rule, they brought on me extra bother than they have been price.

“What sort of job?” I requested by my enamel.

Merc leaned ahead, his outdated eyes abruptly intense. “There’s a cargo of weapons that must be moved. You’ll ensure they get to their ultimate vacation spot. No bother. My males don’t need no bother on their journey, you see. It’s only a run. It’ll be straightforward for ya.”

Mainly, if I wished to seek out Maren, I’d must do no matter Merc demanded.

“Alright, I’ll do it. The place do I must go?” I requested, however I used to be mendacity.

The outdated man opened his skinny lips. His breath reeked of whisky.

I leaned in shut to listen to his reply, however whispered, “You bear in mind the job I did for you final 12 months? If anybody finds out that you simply ordered that hit, you’ll be becoming a member of your buddy, Buzzard. It’ll be your time, outdated man.” We have been so shut that I laid my Glock on the bar between us. My finger itched on the set off. “I say it’s nearly as good a time as any. So, how about you give me what you realize on Spooky or regardless of the bitch is looking herself now?”

Merc’s eyes narrowed as he listened, however then he bobbed his head. “I do know what you’re speaking about,” he mentioned.

Backing off, I sat down and slipped my gun again into my minimize. “I don’t care,” I mentioned. “I’ll do no matter it takes.” We have been appearing, so the remainder of the bar didn’t know I used to be threatening him.

Merc gave me a sly smile. “I believed you would possibly,” he mentioned. “Observe me.”

Chapter 2

Leviathan

We made our option to a again room, his workplace, away from the nosy eyes of the opposite patrons. Merc yanked a skinny folder from a tall submitting cupboard and tossed it to me.

“This could aid you get began,” he mentioned.

Flipping by the pages, a photograph paper clipped to a web page caught my eye. My coronary heart raced on the sight of her. Gone was her platinum hair. Nonetheless blonde, her lengthy hair appeared pure. It suited her. Her massive blue eyes have been all the identical, pretty however haunted. The attractive smirk on her face was her in a nutshell, emphasis on the phrase nut. This stunning vixen had proved bat shit loopy. Lady even confessed she spent a while within the psych ward years in the past. The very fact hadn’t really fazed me earlier than, however I had spent an excessive amount of time considering on it since. Fuck, I had run all the pieces over in my head so many instances as I’ve aimlessly looked for her.

Earlier than me was all Merc’s data on Maren. The girl I had fallen in love with was inside attain. Reminiscences of her flooded me. Good ones, as our our bodies twisted in pleasure. After I referred to as her mine, my Treasure. I remembered feeling like I had been trying all my life for her. Too unhealthy she was idiot’s gold. Our bond had all been a part of her ruse. Then I spied the phrase, Treasure.

“Treasure?” I requested Merc.

“Her new deal with. Presidents get to select their very own once they come up like her.”

Fuck her. The bitch had used my pet identify for her as her fucking street identify.

“Yeah, out of skinny air,” I remarked.

Since Maren had been within the touring circus previous to changing into a biker, I chuckled at my very own joke. And if I used to be studying proper, she was Galveston, Texas.

Fuck.

That was the primary place I checked. I had been again there many instances as effectively as a result of Maren mentioned her daughter, who her dad and mom compelled her to place up for adoption at seventeen, lived there. Three months in the past, I had sat within the bar she talked about and ordered a rattling strawberry margarita, anticipating her to materialize and inform me we had all of it flawed. Inform me she hadn’t betrayed my membership. Inform me she needed to run away or be killed by one membership or one other. That it was all an enormous mistake.

I had questioned if all her unhappy tales had simply been extra lies to tug at my heartstrings. However this file on her had greater than I wished to know. Maren had extra secrets and techniques that broke my coronary heart. However her tragic life was no excuse. All of us had demons. Didn’t matter if hers appeared extra actual to her. So actual she noticed them and heard them.

Fuck. I had simply been in Texas final week, in search of Spooky. No surprise I couldn’t discover her. And I had no thought there have been Asphalt Gods’ bikers within the space. Along with her chapter being new, that positively tracked.
