“It does suck not having him here, but I understand. He’s not only doing shit for the club, but he’s grieving in a way he couldn’t do with all of us around. He tries to be strong for the rest of us despite all the shitty ass decisions we make while putting his feelings on the back burner. He needed this. Hopefully he gets the answers he needs and gets what he needs emotionally from his ride.”

The brothers nod, “Yeah when our pops died, it was hard on our mama. She still had a lot of us to take care of and Harlen took a lot on his shoulders.” Ridge or Ryder states.

I look over at Liza and she is currently curled up snuggling with Walker, who still hasn’t talked to me. Liza looks like she’s sleeping and Walker doesn’t look like he is far from it. I knew that there was a lot I didn’t know about my woman, fuck there still is so much more to learn. I never knew she lost her father, in fact her whole family had been a mystery. She made comments in passing from time to time that she came from a large family, but I never asked for anything else. I guess that is what I get for being such a selfish prick.

Ridge follows my eye sight and smiles at his sister and nephew.

“We never thought we would have this. Still don’t know if we are risking shit by being here. She’s been on her own for so long and the little conversations we do have, have definitely not been enough. After everything that happened, losing our dad and what happened with her, it felt like we lost her too. She might have still been here, but she was out on the other side of the country. We knew Glitch had her covered, but it wasn’t the same.” He then turns his head back to me.

“If you fuck this up again, I will be taking her back next time. I know there is still heat on her, but we do think she is safer here. But if she is hurt any more by you, I will keep her locked up so tight on Skullz land that you won’t see that boy again. Do you hear me?”

I get this man is trying to protect his sister, fuck if it were any of mine I would do the same. Shit, I wish I knew all that went on between Parker and Doc or even shit with Peyton and Whip. I would kick their asses into next fucking week, but it pisses me off this man is trying to tell me he is going to take my family away.

“You are not taking my family anywhere. I get it, I really fucking do, but I love that woman and these boys. Not a damn fucking man on this earth is going to take away what is mine.” I hissed at him.

“Alright, calm down fuckers. We should get her to bed. As well as the boys. Where do you want them, Dragon? You got rooms set up?”

I nod my head before I pick up Jaxon and walk him over to the bassinet I have in the living room.

“The boys have a room together upstairs next across the hall from the nursery if you want to bring them up there to help them get ready for bed. You’ll know it’s theirs. They got some bunk beds in it. She’s going to the master. I’ll take her. Do one of you want to stay with Jaxon?”

Sprocket or Trent agrees to stay with Jaxon as Wick, Ridge and Cade head upstairs to help the boys get ready for bed. I walk over to Liza and put one arm under her legs and the other under her arms as I pick her up bridal style.

She starts to wake up and I whisper to her, “It’s okay baby, go back to sleep. You’re gonna have to wake up in a couple hours for a feeding. I’m going to put you to bed, okay? I’ll bring the boy to you when he’s hungry.”

I’m surprised when she nods her head and wraps her arms around my neck as I walk her to my room.

Chapter Eleven

Dragon

After Liza and the boys went to bed, her brothers finally headed out to stay in their hotel that they had booked. Warning me that they would be back in the morning to spend time with their nephews and their sister. I have Jaxon hanging out with me in the living room and am now waiting on Twister, Domino and Isabella to get here so I can talk to them about what I know about the Bellandi family. With everything going on with the club and the continued threat of Acid MC I know I am going to have to let Terror know exactly what is going on. My big brother might lose his shit. I’m hoping though that now he is actually fucking Ruby he will chill the fuck out. That bitch of an ex-wife and baby mama is no longer someone that is holding anything over him that he will be less stressed.

I’m laying on the couch with Jaxon snuggled up on my chest when I hear the front door open. I see Isabella run in before the men and she is silently squealing when she sees me with Jaxon on the couch. She runs over to me and does the gimme motion with her hands and I sigh before handing my boy over to the crazy Moretti princess.

“He might want to eat soon, so when he starts getting fussy, I’m going to have to pause this little meeting and bring him to Liza.”

Twister comes in and looks around, “Where is the little mama?”

“She’s in our room. She was exhausted. I’m letting her sleep. Plus there is shit we need to talk about and until she’s willing to tell me all of her story, I’d rather just fill you guys in on what Glitch told me without her having to relive that if she isn’t ready.”

“Alright, so what do you have to talk to us specifically about?” Twister asks as he sits down next to Isabella who is cooing at Jaxon. Domino sits on the other side, both men seem to be plotting in their heads getting Bella knocked up with one of their babies.

Their dynamic is different and I don’t know how they do it, but it works for them. Twister always knew he wanted to end up with a man and a woman. He has never really shied away from who he is and I love that for my brother. I may have been the first person to know he was bisexual because we don’t hide shit from each other, but our whole family was very respectful of what he needed in his life.

“Well Glitch gave me some information on the Bellandi family. I thought it would be good for you guys to hear it first since you know, Bellandi.” I say nodding to Domino whose head shot up at the sound of his family name.

Dominic or Domino as he is called in the Untamed Rebels is a Bellandi. He turned his back on his family and his father has wanted him dead because he refused to fall in line like the rest of his siblings. Thankfully, his siblings have been very good at helping him hide in plain sight from his father.

“What does the Skullz have to do with my family? They are not from Nevada, nor do I believe they have any business there. I would have to talk to Lorenzo.”

“I don’t know what businesses they have in Nevada or what they have been doing in Nevada, however, it seems they have been trying to sell flesh through members of the Skullz. Members that have been trying to take over and trying to get rid of the current council. Thankfully, or in some case not so thankfully because of how it happened, they got intel that allowed them to drain their fucking swamp. They learned a lot from the traitors in their club.”

“My family as fucked up as they are, are not fucking traffickers of people. There is no way. My brothers are against that.”

“Well someone isn’t because they have been doing just that.”

Domino’s eyes are moving frantically around the room like he’s searching for something that he just can’t find. He then reaches into his pocket and pulls out what looks like a burner phone.
