I could barely sleep. A few hours ago, Wilder came to my office and begged that I speak to his daughter. I’ve known him my entire life and not once have I heard him plead like that. He also wanted her to come to dinner tomorrow.
He’s like an uncle to me and I trust him but I do not know Riley. She could be a spy or some shit who wants to take down my club. Not to mention she exudes trouble and looks like sin.
I finally relented and told him that she could come for dinner and then we could meet in my office. He smiled bigger than I thought possible and thanked me before practically skipping out of my office. I could hear the cheers of the men and knew that Wilder would tell the whole world if he
could.
I sighed as I twisted in my bed, restlessly. Suddenly, her face came to my mind. I quickly shook it away. Stop being a fucking creep. I rubbed my forehead before sitting up. Maybe alcohol will help.
I threw my legs off the bed and groaned as I cracked my neck. Since I can’t sleep might as well get a drink. Maybe that would help.
I left my room and walked down the stairs to the kitchen. I opened the cabinet and took out a bottle of whiskey. I went to the island and took a seat on the stool, deciding against using a glass. I chugged some of it before I heard footsteps coming closer.
I turned my head and saw that it was Slash. I remember how he got the name. He was a prospect at that time, seven years ago and the club was attacked. He was one of the men who were taken by the enemy. The bastard fought tooth and nail to survive and he did, obviously. But he didn’t come out unscathed. There was a long scar running from the base of his neck to his stomach. Since
then, he hasn’t been the same.
“Coming back from somewhere?” I asked. He smirked, “Yes, somewhere very fun.”
I rolled my eyes and drank more whiskey. He pushed a glass toward me and I poured a generous amount. He drank it in one go. “So,” He started, making me narrow my eyes. I poured him more
alcohol.
“I heard that Wilder’s daughter is coming to the clubhouse tomorrow,” He said after a few minutes of silence. I nodded and he continued, “Are you sure that’s a good idea?”

I ran my hand through my hair. “I don’t trust the girl but Wilder is too happy to be rational and thinks that she won’t fuck anything up.” He cleared his throat, “I agree. She’s strong for such a
little thing, though.”
I raised an eyebrow but he waved it off. How the fuck would he know that? I shook my head. That’s
none of my concern.
“I could tell from one conversation with her that she’s going to be a pain in my ass,” I said before I took a mouthful of whiskey and stood up.
Slash chuckled. “Good luck,” He said, raising his glass, “You’ll need it. Especially with that temper
of yours.”
I flipped him off and left him sitting there and went back to my room with the bottle.
The next morning, I woke up to incessant and annoying knocks. I am going to kill whoever is on the other side of that door. I rubbed my aching head in frustration before opening the door.
“What the fuck do you want?” I gritted my teeth as I stared at the young prospect.
He rubbed the back of his head. “Well?” I asked, glaring at the boy. He looked like he wanted to
run away. Damn right. He’s lucky I didn’t put a bullet in his head for disturbing my sleep.
He finally spoke when I took a step closer. “Uhm, Mac told me to wake you up.”
I nodded. “How much did the old bastard pay you?” His eyes widened in surprise. He hesitated before saying $100. I sighed and motioned for him to get out.
I ran a hand over my face tiredly and walked to the bathroom to splash some water on my face, hoping that it would help. When it didn’t, I stripped and climbed into the shower. I let out a groan
of relief when the cold water hit my skin. Then I brushed my teeth.
I walked back into my room and glanced at the time. It’s only fucking 9:30 in the morning. They couldn’t have let me sleep for one more damn hour.
Well, let’s see what they want.
When I was about to enter the kitchen, Mac came out of nowhere and stopped me, arm over my shoulder. I glared at him. “What?” I asked, shoving him off me.

He ran a hand through his greying hair, looking away. Mac is the same age as Wilder and my father but he doesn’t have any kids. All I know is that he had a woman he loved and she left him many
