Chapter Six

Wrath

Ican"t help the smile that"s on my face, even after what went down last night with Craig and finding out about a new unknown enemy and the potential mole within Devil"s Inferno. It"s taken me nearly forever to fucking get the balls to claim my man, and I"m going to be happy about how things went this morning.

Make no mistake, he"s mine and always has been, just like I"ve always been his. We may have been with other people, but they never meant anything to either of us. The number of people who have tried to come between us, even during our younger years, is a running joke now. The last one who really tried before Ella was Claire. God, I don"t want to think about it. She could have done some serious damage to our relationship if Shadow hadn't exposed what she was planning with her father. I"ve always held hope that it would never have worked anyway because we were both wrapped around each other"s hearts in a way that no one understood. Not even us. Yeah, I know I"m a sappy fuck sometimes, but when it comes to Flame, I just don"t give a fuck.

Quickly finishing up my shower and dressing before I make my way downstairs. Flame isn"t down here yet, and I don"t have time to wait for him. Instead, I"m rushing out the door because I"m late. I know I"m late, but I really don"t care; having that talk with Flame this morning was worth it. So was everything that followed after. God, I cannot be thinking about that right now, or I"ll be trying to hide a fucking hard-on from everyone. Climbing onto my bike, I make my way to The Clubhouse. I"ve got so much shit to get through this morning; it"s insane.

Making my way to my office, I can see Tech standing outside the door. Tech"s one of the smaller members of Devil"s Inferno; he"s only five foot nine and isn"t built like the rest of us; he"s leaner, like a swimmer. He"s still fit; it"s just not as obvious as it is with the rest of us. He has blonde hair that"s almost white that he"s forever sweeping out of his face, but he won"t cut it any shorter because he says he can"t stand it at that length. His piercing blue eyes are hidden behind his chunky black glasses. You wouldn"t expect him to be our resident computer nerd from his looks, but as we all know, looks can be deceiving, and they certainly are where Tech"s concerned.

Opening the door, I let myself in and nod for Tech to follow. He does, closing the door behind himself.

"What have you got for me?"I ask him as he takes a seat.

"I don"t know who"s behind it all. But I do know that you, Shadow, and Flame are all wanted dead at the end of whatever games they are playing."He informs me with a frown.

Pure fury fills me. Some fucking bitch wants to kill us. I"d love to see them try.

"Keep digging, Tech. See if you uncover anything else, especially who the mole might be. I want to know who the fuck is betraying me and Devil"s Inferno. I"ll let Flame and Shadow know to watch their backs."

"Sure thing, Prez."He says as he stands and leaves.

He"s gone just as quickly as he appeared. No doubt to go back to his computer cave. It's definitely a computer cave, with the number of screens and computer towers inside, it"s insane.

Picking up my phone I dial Shadow first. I know he"s out somewhere, his bike wasn"t at home when I left.

"What"s up, bro?" He asks as soon as he answers.

"Tech just came to see me. Whoever this bitch is behind last night, she wants me, you, and Flame dead."

"Fucking bring it. I"m not easy to fucking kill. How many have tried and failed?" He sounds as cocky as ever.

"Just be safe, please, and watch your back." I say, letting him hear my worry.

"Always. I"m at Devil"s Ink, so there"s no need to worry about me right now."

That"s a relief; at least I know he"s safe for now and will watch his back when he leaves.

"Good, just keep yourself safe."

"Promise."

Hanging up, I quickly dial Flame next. Waiting for him to answer, I start to worry as it continues to ring. Come on, answer me. Please don"t let me be too late in warning him about the threat.

"Hey, sorry, babe, my phone wasn"t connecting to my helmet for some reason. Is everything okay?" He says when he finally answers.

"No, not really. Tech came to see me as soon as I got here this morning. He found out that whoever this bitch is, she wants me, you, and Shadow dead. So please watch your back. I cannot fucking lose you."

I let him hear how worried I am.

"I promise, as long as you do the same. I can"t lose you either, okay? I"ll be there soon. I was just going for a ride, but I"ll come back; it"s not worth risking being out on my own. I"d rather be overly cautious than end up roadkill. I"ll be about twenty minutes."

"See you soon."

Putting my phone down, I let out a sigh of relief that they"re both safe for now and know to watch their backs. It only takes a split second of not being aware and I could lose them. I wouldn"t survive that.

Logging into my computer, I check my emails for anything that needs my attention. There"s nothing important, so I check out this week"s guard schedule and cleaning rotas, making sure there"s no changes I need to make and that I've taken into account the fact that I told Flame he could start hand-to-hand combat training with the Prospects". Everything looks good to me, so I print the documents to pin on the board in The Common Room.

Checking the time, I realize it"s been about twenty minutes since I got off the phone with Flame; he should be here or here shortly from what he said. Grabbing the documents off the printer, I leave my office, locking the door behind me.

Making my way into The Common Room, I can"t help but smile to myself when I see Flame sitting at the bar talking to Whiskey, who"s currently on shift behind the bar. Whiskey, you might think, is named after the drink, but you"d be wrong. He got the name because his hair looks like the color of Whiskey with its multiple shades of red and brown. My Dad said something about it the first time they met, and it stuck. It"s a fucking unique color; I"ve never seen anyone else with the same distinctive color. Pinning up the schedules quickly, I start to make my way over to Flame, hoping to steal a quick kiss as I"ve missed him, but the new bunny Cheryl gets there first. Oh, this should be fun; she must have no idea she"s barking up the wrong tree.

I know for a fact that Flame feels no attraction to women at all; he"s never even been with one. He"s always known he was gay from a young age, and he didn"t see the point in even trying to be with a woman. The amount of bunnies and other women I"ve seen through the years try and seduce him because, according to them, he just hasn"t been with the right woman yet is fucking ridiculous. It"s like he"s a magnet for the fucking bitches who believe their pussy"s magical and will suddenly make him no longer want dick. I honestly don"t know how their brains even manage to come up with shit like that. Sexuality isn"t fucking something we choose; it"s the way we"re born. I"m gay, just like Flame, but I"ve been with women, and I can tell you for a fact pussy does absolutely nothing for a gay man.

I"ve got a feeling I"m going to have to get involved when it comes to this bunny. She gives me a gut feeling that she won"t give up easily, and once she"s set her sights on you, you"re fucked. I"m lucky to be President; my word is final around here; she had no choice but to back off with me. I don"t think it"s going to be quite the same with Flame. As I"m watching them out of the corner of my eye, I see her hand go to his crotch, and yep, that"s all it takes for me to make my way over there. Fuck if I"m going to let some whore grab him like that. He"s fucking mine, and it"s about time I let everyone fucking know it.
