Venom's Prize (Devil's Riot MC Originals, #10) - E.C. Land Page 0,2

penetrate the air and I hope to God it’s not my brother’s woman.

Sticking to the shadows, Cane and I silently make it through the building coming up on where Chigger and Cane’s woman, Parker, are.

“Whatever, Parker, now shut up.” Dude is just asking for a bullet.

“No, I won’t shut up,” Parker yells, sticking up for herself. I’d grin if it weren’t the wrong fuckin’ time for her to be doing something like this.

“You fucking bitch. You want to fight me. Go ahead, see if you can get past me. I’ll kill you first. Fuck the money I could get with you. There’s dime a dozen women who are worth far more than you. Maybe I’ll take the other women who belong to those scumbags you want to be a whore to,” Chigger yells.

Glancing over to Cane I meet his gaze as the two of us sneak up on the bastard. How this asshole could be in charge of anything, is ridiculous.

Chigger takes a step toward Parker causing her to step back. She’s cornered with nowhere to go since there’s only a wall right behind her.

“I’m not an object to be sold, nor am I a whore. I’m a person who only wanted to live her own life. Not to be dictated to by her brother,” Parker screams, terror filling her gaze. She’s scared but doesn’t want to give up.

Chigger goes to hit Parker and Cane moves first, placing his gun to the side of the asshole’s fuckin’ head. “Take another step toward my woman and see if I don’t put a bullet in your head right fuckin’ here,” Cane snarls, more than ready to blow the dude’s head off.

Moving around them I slip around them to check on Parker. Seeing her slide to the ground and pass out is enough cause for alarm in my book. Considering everything she’s been through today. A wreck, being kidnapped, and from the looks of it, she’s been beaten to a bloody pulp.

“Turn around, Chigger, and face me,” Cane orders.

Reaching down to Parker, I notice right away she’s not looking good and needs help asap. “Cane, brother, we need to get your ol’ lady to a hospital,” I mutter, getting my brother’s attention.

“I know,” he grumbles, his eyes still locked on Chigger.

“No, brother, we need to get her there now,” I declare, needing him to understand the urgency in my voice.

“Take care of Chigger, Cane. Venom and I will get her to the hospital. You join us after you finish here,” Raven says, the woman appears out of thin air. Swear to fuck the woman is the same as the fuckin’ bird she’s named after. “Finish this for her. She needs to know she has nothing to fear and the only person who can do that is you, I’ll stay with her until you get there.”

I lift Parker into my arms and stand to my feet. The woman is light as a feather, needing to put on some weight. “I’ll be there as soon as we’re done here. Watch her,” Cane says, meeting my gaze.

“I’ve got her, brother. She’ll be okay.” I nod and follow Raven out.

The two of us head for a car out the front. Nothing about this whole scenario tonight sits well with me. I only hope what’s heading our way is something we can handle, and it doesn’t cause us to lose anyone else.

Chapter One

Amaya

“Tell me why I’m doing this again?” I mutter to myself as I look down at the little one lying on my bed sound asleep.

Lincoln, he’s the reason why I’m packing up my entire life. I never expected to be a parent. Or I hadn’t planned on it considering everything, but I’ll do anything for him. The little boy looks so much like his father with his dark hair and beautiful hazel-colored eyes. Shoot, he even carries himself at three the same way his father used to.

It’s these reasons, along with the fact he’s his father’s spitting image, that I love him so much and would do anything to protect him. I might not be his mother but the day I walked in on my best friend, well ex-best friend, Emilia, his mother, trying to drown her son in the bathtub, I took him. He became mine. Or at least he is until I get him to where he belongs.

See, I refused to stand by and allow her to do something horrific to such a precious little boy. She claimed he wouldn’t stop crying and she
