Page 41 of Dynamo
It was turning dawn when the Royal Bastards rode out. I put a call into the local cops and waited. The night had been one of nightmares. Dynamo and Vogue took revenge on every single rich bastardthere. What was worse was that some of these were meant to be women’s advocates. For hours these fuckers had screamed, and then Slasher healed them. Romeo knelt and messed with their minds to do what Jude had suggested.
The cops would arrest them, but they’d wriggle out. Romeo’s implanted suggestions would kick in at different times over the next few weeks. Caleb had been sent a list of dates to monitor. If one of them missed his time, Romeo and ACI would go for them. Romeo declared it wouldn’t happen as their minds were easily managed. He didn’t understand how we’d not fallen to his commands.
I suspected it was because of our training but wouldn’t admit that. Not even under duress. Things were left a little tense, with both sides aware of the repercussions of betraying each other.
I watched as Dynamo rode out, her hair streaming behind her in a ponytail and her confidence in handling her Harley. I was attracted to her, but I was unsure how to handle her. Dynamo had been to hell and back, and she’d no intention of trusting a man again. She barely trusted her brothers. To my chagrin, she didn’t even glance at me. A regal queen riding her steed, and I was beneath her notice.
I snorted at my fanciful thoughts and headed towards the warehouse. Shit around here was about to get busy.

It had been a shock when Romeo announced we had eyes on us. Even more so when he stated his mind swipe hadn’t worked.
Shame had flooded me; Mike knew what had happened to me, and he had witnessed the ugly consequences firsthand. What my club had only known about was becoming common knowledge, and it galled me. The Montreal Chapter, Jameson, Screaming Barons, Bloody Scorpions, and now ACI.
But Pipes was right. I couldn’t let them win. I was a Royal Bastard, and that meant something. So many applied to the club, and only a select few were accepted. I was special, and not because of what happened to me.
Warden had hunted me down and recruited me directly. That was special. He’d not only honoured me by bucking the trend and making me a sister but also by giving me a position in his inner circle. It was time to heal.
Chapter Nine.

Iwas on the other side of Camden, checking out some land, when the call came in. It was the girl’s school.
“Hello?”
“Mr Adams. This is Miss Loafer. I’m very sorry to be calling, but we’ve had a plumbing issue. We need you to pick up Raven and Robin,” a woman said.
“That’s awkward, as I’m over an hour and a half away,” I replied, annoyed.
“The school is being evacuated immediately. It’s a sewage problem,” she answered delicately.
“What do you want me to do? Wave a magic wand? I won’t be able to get there for two hours.”
“Can they go with another parent?” she inquired, and I frowned. Hell no, that would open the gates toattention I didn’t want. Fuck! Wait.
“I’ll call you back,” I said and hung up. I punched in Dynamo’s number, almost certain she’d refuse. Jude and the guys were out on a fishing trip, so they were a no.
“What do you want?” she asked without preamble.
A faint smile crossed my lips. “The school just called. They’ve a sewage problem.”
“Okay, that’s shitty.” A chuckle left me at her words, then she followed with, “What’s it got to do with me?”
“I’m two hours away.”
“Get your friends to pick them up.”
“They’re on a fishing trip,” I replied.
Dynamo sighed. “And you want me to fetch them?”
“It’s that or one of the school moms, and I’d rather be skinned alive,” I retorted.
Dynamo chuckled coldly. “That bad?”
“Fuckin’ awful. If I ask one of them, then it’s giving them an in. I don’t want to give them the slightest encouragement.”
