Broken Prize

Cracked down the middle

Shatters into pieces

A prize is a prize

Yet when broken apart

Do you throw it away?

Or put it to the side

Forget about the one that’s broken

Move on to the new and shiny

Nothing is as it seems

Lies and deceit are all you see

Cracks and shattering are never enough

The heart can only take so much

Can you see the prize in front of your eyes?

Don’t forget the broken

And move to the new and shiny

Lies and deceit are a part of you

Shiny and new the prize will haunt you

Cracked and shattered are the one you always look back to

Broken inside the prize is still with you

Prologue

Venom

Three Months Ago

Can this day get any more fuckin’ worse? It started with a phone call from a number I knew but I didn’t answer for a reason. Why’s she calling me now? I don’t know but I sure as hell don’t feel like talking to her.

Not now and honestly, I don’t think I ever want to speak to her again.

I’m already in a mood to draw blood and now following my brothers into a dangerous situation after Cane’s ol’ lady, Parker, had been kidnapped from an ambush. Harley, the woman I claim as my little sister, is with her and that shit pisses me off. Both women have been through a fuck of a lot. However, this could be a major setback for Harley after she’s come so far.

Cane stands next to me and I can feel the fury radiating off of him. “Keep it together, brother,” I say. We need him to stay calm for now.

“She’s gonna be okay,” Whip mutters from the other side of Cane.

Our VP pulls out his phone, reads whatever is on the screen, and nods. “Vi’s inside and in a location filled with a container of women. Said one of them didn’t look too good. There’s about thirty men total inside. Most of them were taking advantage of the women.”

Oh fuck.

This isn’t going to be good.

Not one bit.

What we’re facing is similar enough to what I’ve dealt with for years.

Blaze gains our attention by clicking his flash like two times. Glancing at him, he holds up his phone. “Raven’s saying she’s got eyes on Lavina, who’s just stepped out of a room Chigger dragged Parker from following one of his men. Lavina has none other than Cherry and Peaches with her and both of them are naked and on leashes heading in the opposite direction.”

Fuckin’ sick and twisted bitch. She deserves a bullet to the head.

“I’m goin’ after my woman,” Cane announces.

“Agreed. Take Venom with you, the rest of us will go after the others. This shit ends here,” our Prez, Stoney, declares.

“What about Lavina?” Ranger asks, his fist clenching at his sides. I know the man wants the stupid bitch for what she helped do to Harlow.

“We’ll deal with her later. Right now, the task at hand is getting Parker to safety and whoever these other women are,” Stoney states.

I couldn’t agree more. The women who were being abused and Parker need to take precedence. We’ll get the bitch at some point.

I pull my gun from its holster and follow after my brother in the direction Raven went. The sounds of a woman’s screams
