Kace (Shattered Souls MC 3)

She understands what’s happening and covers her mouth as she moves away from me. “Kace, no.”

“Get the fuck out of here,” I whisper. Her eyes roam over me and my eyes fill with tears. Even beaten and bloody she’s gorgeous. Her warm eyes land on mine and she bites her lip. “Now!”

She closes her eyes for a second and runs out the front door. Relief floods me because she’s now safe.

“I’m going to enjoy slowly torturing you. Making your last hours painful. You’ll be screaming for mercy as I melt your flesh with a blow torch. Just like I did to that cunt of yours. She passed out from the pain, so it wasn’t as fun as I expected,” he says, laughing.

“Fuck you,” I shout.

“Get upstairs,” Rachel says, holding her hand out.

I look at both of them and nod. I hand my gun to Rachel and take a step forward. The pain and torture I’m about to endure will be worth it because I know Ivy is safe.

“Don’t make me fucking say it again. Get upstairs,” Rachel says, pushing the gun against my head.

I’d rather she shoot me dead right now, so I turn toward her. “You wanna kill me, do it,” I say, holding my arms open.

“Rachel, don’t. He’s mine,” Damon says.

A gunshot rings out and as I go to duck, Rachel falls against me. Blood is pouring out of her head and I look around.

“What the fuck! Rachel, baby, no,” Damon yells, running down the stairs.

I push her to fall to the floor as Damon reaches us. As I try to figure out what the fuck just happened, I hear footsteps behind me.

“Fuck,” Damon yells, holding onto Rachel. He looks up at me and jumps to his feet. He lets out an animalistic sound as he charges me. He slams me against the wall, holding his forearm against my th

roat. I don’t even try to fight him. His size and the pain of his girl dying makes it impossible to fight him off. He pistol whips me and the pain is intense. I can feel the blood dripping down my face. He does it again and I grunt against the pain.

“Let him go,” Alex shouts.

Damon lets go and I slide down to the floor. My head is spinning from the pain, but I manage to get myself back to my feet.

“You good, brother?” Alex asks, never taking his eyes off Damon.

“Alex, get the fuck out of here. I got this,” I say.

“I can’t let you die. Ivy needs you. Your kid is gonna need you. You deserve that happiness, Kace,” Alex says.

Before I can say a word, more gun shots ring out and Damon turns toward the door. A shot is fired and Damon screams, holding his shoulder. He turns and fires three shots at Alex and he drops to the ground.

“No! Fuck,” I cry out.

As Damon turns to me, his evil dark eyes lock onto mine. “A man for a man. You killed Casper and I killed Alex,” he growls.

“Fuck you,” I roar.

He lifts his gun and as a shot rings out I close my eyes. The pain I’m expecting doesn’t come as I hear a body drop to the floor. I snap my eyes open and see Damon dead in front of me. I look around as I push off the wall.

“You’re welcome,” Zane says, appearing in front of me.

“Fuck, Z,” I say, grabbing him and wrapping my arm around him.

I have no words as I try to fucking wrap my pounding head around what the hell just happened. As I do I push off Zane. “Fuck, Alex,” I cry out.

I stumble toward his body and fall to my knees, pulling him onto my chest. I let out the same sound Damon did when Rachel was shot. My brother, my family. He died so Ivy and I could be together. I roughly wipe the tears that are forcing their way out.

“Come on,” Zane says, grabbing my arm. “Finn’s on the way with the van, we’ll get Alex out of here.”
