Prez: A Wings of Diablo MC Novel by Rae Lake (e textbook reader TXT) 📕

perfect replica of our club logo was permanently burned into his face.

“You are free, you go back to your boss and you tell him that we are not hiding anymore. Tell him no one here is scared, tell him his days are fucking numbered.” He stood up and looked up to Archer and Clean. “Dump this piece of shit off our fucking property.

“What about his back?” His spine was still clearly visible, and even though Wire stopped a lot of the bleeding there was still a few spots that were bleeding pretty fucking heavily.

“Do I look like I give a fuck? I gave you a motherfucking directive. Handle that shit, I don’t want him on my fucking property, get him the hell off.” Wire yelled in Archer’s face. The calm collected leader everyone was used to was starting to slip away.

He was going in the same direction I had just come from.

“Wire, this is family. Take note of where we are, ground yourself. No one is questioning you. Learn from me.” I said close enough behind him that only he could hear what I was saying. He shook his head for a second and looked back up at Archer who was still standing there with a pissed off look on his face.

“You’re right. Get doc up here to wrap him up good, maybe Mikki can help to.” He turned to look at me, I nodded my concession. “Try to get him as close to the hospital as possible, if he dies on the way, fuck it. No loss for us. The message is still sent. Yeah?” Wire put his hand out for Archer.

“On your word Wire.” Archer pulled Wire into a bro hug and all was forgiven. They would do whatever for that man, just like they had done for me.

Chapter 22

The party ended soon after that, when the boys made their way back into the club Wire called his first lockdown. Everyone who wasn’t patched in or being patched in had to be gone. I walked up on Devin gathering his stuff to leave.

“Wait, let me talk to you for a minute.” I stopped him from doing what he was doing. The man had given me my life, he stood by while I tried to kill myself and when I got too close he did his best to put me on a new road. I didn’t have a lot to give but I could attempt to share the brotherhood with him.

“What’s up Prez?” He asked confused as to why I was stopping him.

“I know shit has been fucked up for a long time here and that we are in the middle of some shit no one wants to be in the middle of but you seem like you mesh with this shit.”

He shrugged a bit, “You know my past. Bullets and blood have never deterred me before.”

“Yeah, that is what I mean. You seem like you were built for this life. I don’t know how you would feel about it so I’m going to ask. You want to ride with the Wings of Diablo?”

A smile cracked on his face, I could see that he liked that idea a lot.

“Prez you are already a brother to me, hell yeah, I want to ride with the boys and I don’t mean any disrespect by this but can you even do that anymore?”

I grunted slightly, he was right, I was just a lowly member. I didn’t have the pull that I once had but I could suggest and I pretty sure that Wire would listen to me.

“No I can’t just make you a member, you would still have to be a prospect first. I will talk to Wire about it. If you want in, let me do this.”

He looked around to the stuff he was packing up, “Ok, well I’ll hang back a bit. Let me know if I should stay or go.”

I nodded once and went to look for Wire. Devin was a good addition to our numbers and right now we could use all the help that we could get.

I walked over towards the doors of church and due to my memory lapse I didn’t stop. I had spent so many years just walking in those doors that now when I needed to ask for permission to walk in I had completely forgotten. I burst through the door and instantly regretted it.

Wire was on the floor, sweat pouring from his forehead and Keeley was kneeling in front of him trying to get him to breathe in and out.

He was yanking at the collar of his shirt, his eyes darting around like there was some threat.

“Dillon, I’m here. Just breathe babe. Everything is ok.”

“Fuck that, I feel like something is sitting on my fucking chest. I hate this shit.”

Both sets of eyes found mine as I came rushing through the door.

“Shit.” I said and my immediate thought was to turn around and walk back out the door but I knew that look on Wire’s face. I’d felt like that before. Panic.

“What the fuck are you doing in here, get the fuck out!” He yelled but there was no force in his voice he was still hyperventilating, trying to catch a breath that he was not out of.

I turned back around to where Keeley was. I walked closer to where they were and I sat down next to Wire, far enough that he still has space but close enough that he would feel my presence. That he would know that he wasn’t alone.

“What’s good brother?” I asked, trying my best to ignore the fact that he was having a complete meltdown right next to me.

“Fuck out of here. This is the last thing I need anyone to see.” He let his head fall back and he yanked his collar again.

“Why, you act like you are the first one who lost his shit a little bit.”

“Hmm,” he responded. “That’s funny, I don’t see anyone else losing their shit.”

I turned
