Undaunted (The Kings of Retribution MC)

I laugh along with her. “Yeah well, my hand hurts like hell, but it was worth it.”

We both plop back and lay there stretched out on our backs, quiet for a few moments.

“I’m happy for you, Bella.”

“It was perfect, Alba. In that moment, everything else melted away. It was like I was high or something. I was completely consumed by him.”

Before I can get any further into the conversation my phone chimes with an incoming text. I dig it out of my back pocket. Seeing it’s from Mila, I open it.

Mila: Hey, whatcha been up to? How have you been?

Me: Not much. I’m good. How are you and Ava?

Mila: Good! Meet for coffee soon?

Me: Would love that! Bring Ava too?

Mila: Great! I will. Gotta go. Call soon!

Me: Hug Ava for me. Bye!

Setting my phone on top the dresser, I decided to get Alba’s things unpacked. She gets up and starts to help.

“That was Mila. I’ve been so wrapped up with my new job and Logan, I haven’t been to visit her and Ava in a while.” Ava is Mila’s daughter and the sweetest little girl. I love spending time with both of them.

I open the door to the small closet and peer inside to see if there happen to be any hangers. “Well, looks like you’ll have to keep most your things in the drawers for now. I’ll see if Logan can get some things you’ll be needing, like hangers. I’m sorry about all this, Alba,” I say, making my way to the bathroom and placing her makeup bag on the counter.

“It’s fine, Bella. If I’m with you I can deal with it, but I will need some more of my things from the house before I have to go back to school.”

“That shouldn’t be a probl

em. I’m sure Logan will get one of the brothers to take us, so we can grab whatever else we need. How about we go downstairs? We can meet some of the other members later, but for now, we can learn the layout out of where everything is. Find out what we can and can’t do around here.”

Sighing, she gives in and we leave the bedroom, making our way down the stairs.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Logan

My brothers and I make our way up from the basement and head out to greet our unexpected guest.

I see Bella and her sister coming from upstairs, so I stride in their direction.

“Hey, babe,” I say pulling her close to me and giving her a kiss. “You get Alba settled in okay?”

“Yeah, everything is good.”

“Alright, Angel. I’ve got some shit to do, so if you need anything just let one of the prospects know and they’ll get it for you.”

“We’re okay. You go do what you need to do.”

Just then, Lisa steps up next to us. “Why don’t you girls come help me with lunch. I could use the extra help now that we have guests. It will give us a chance to get to know each other.”

“Cooking is one of our favorite things to do, so we would love to help you,” Bella says to her sincerely.

“You and I are going to get along just fine then,” Lisa replies with a big smile on her face.

I watch as Bella and Alba walk off towards the kitchen, then turn to Lisa. “Thanks for including them and making Bella and her sister feel welcome.”
