UC 2 Blood War
Chapter 1
My brothers will hunt you down and kill you for this, the Demon Brother Ive tied
to a fence not far from their main compound growls out. He doesnt have a hell of a
lot of strength left. Not after the beating Ive just given him.
How are they going to know its me? I ask, walking toward him as I pull a large
hunting knife out of my pocket and turn it from side to side so he can see the light
reflecting off the blade. Tell me where to find Cutter or Im going to frame him
for your murder. Your choice.
Doesnt matter whether I fuckin tell you or not. Either way, Im dead.
I pull my gun out and hold it up in my other hand. Then I guess your choice is
simply fast, I wave the gun at him, or slow and incredibly painful, I tell him as
I run the tip of the knife lightly over this torso, showing him how I plan to flay
him if he doesnt talk.
Screwing his face up, he spits in my face. Fuck you Aussie cunt! he yells, his
American accent making the word sound more like ossie to my ears.
Holstering my piece, I pull a piece of cloth from my pocket and wipe the spit off my
face before pushing the cloth into his mouth. The little fucker clenches his jaw and
tries to turn his head away to stop me, so I use the blunt end of the knife and
smash it against his face. The satisfying crack of his jaw breaking stops any
further attempts to disobey me.
I stuff his mouth to muffle any noise before turning the knife around and holding it
close to his face. I guess were gonna take this slow then.
He shakes his head as I slice his shirt open to reveal his bare chest. Its covered
with tattoos depicting red demons fucking women with huge tits and round arses. You
know, in World War Two they used to skin tattooed men and make lampshades out of
their flesh.
He tries to yell as he rocks his body about to fight me. His eyes are wide and
frightened. Dont worry, Im not going to make lampshades. Im just going to slice
out the shape of your cut in your flesh and then peel it off and hang it up next to
you. Your brothers will find you, and theyll automatically suspect Cutter. And if
they dont hand him over to the Outlaw Riders after that, then Ill just keep doing
this until someone gives him up, I whisper to him. He squeezes his eyes tight and
shakes his head. He wants me to stop. Its too late. You made your choice.
By the time Ive finished and cleaned away any evidence, the sun is almost up. I
deposit all evidence in the van I kidnapped the now dead Demon Brother in, then take
one last look at my handiwork before I light the fuse and make my escape.
Moving quietly, I make my way in shadow back to my bike and Im speeding off, just
before the van explodes and lights up the sky before the sun even gets the chance
to, destroying all evidence and ensuring that the area will get enough attention so
Page 2

my frame job gets noticed enough to bring the media in.
With it all over the news and radio, the Demon Brothers will be forced to lay low,
and thats when Ill attack. Ill kill each and every one of them until I find my
brother and make him suffer for what he did to my woman.
You dont get to fuck with me and get away with it. Blood or no blood Cutter needs
to die.
Chapter 2
Youre home, I whisper, my arms sliding up Coles warm body as he leans over and
kisses me awake.
I fuckin needed you, baby, he murmurs, as his mouth moves along my jaw and down
my neck. He pulls me forward so Im sitting and pulls my nightgown over my head,
rubbing his hands over my full breasts. Youre the only light in my life right now
baby. The only light, he whispers, as he slides my underwear down and positions
himself between my legs. Oh god, youre fuckin drippin for me.
He pushes himself inside me, stretching my walls with his size.
Gasping as he fills me. I roll my head back, eyes closed as I feel him slide in and
out. Ive missed you, I whisper, just as he slams himself inside me forcefully,
almost painfully.
My eyes fly open.
Have you missed this?
Suddenly, everything has changed. Its not Cole anymore. Its Cutter and hes
holding a blade to my throat.
I gasp in fear, my heart leaping in my chest as tears spring from my eyes.
I should have killed you when I had the chance, he spits out, leaning so close
that I can smell his foul breath as it flows out, hot, over my face.
With a swift motion, he drags the blade across my throat, slicing open my flesh.
Shrieking, I grab at my neck, trying to stem the flow of blood...
My eyes fly open as I wake in a panic, still clawing at my neck and shrieking.
Maddie! Maddie! my mother calls out, as she wrestles with me so I dont hurt
myself or her with my thrashing.
Opening my eyes, reality takes a moment to seep in.
You were having another nightmare, she says quietly, smoothing down the hair on my
head. I could hear you from my room.
Sitting up, I accept the glass of water she offers me and gently slide my hand over
my throat just to be sure everything is ok.
They feel so real when I have them, I whisper. I just wish hed come home.
My mother takes me in her arms. I know sweetheart. I know.
When Ive calmed down, my mother leaves me so I can get some more sleep, but I dont
see myself being able to do that. Not after that.
Sighing, I roll over in bed and slide my hand over the empty side where Cole should
be. Ever since he took over as MC President, he is gone for increasingly longer
periods. Whenever he leaves, he insists that I stay at the compound instead of at
home.
I miss him. I understand he has a job to do, and I want him to find Cutter and kill
him, but Im due soon. This baby isnt going to wait until her daddy finds his man
and comes home. I dont see why we cant bide our time and gather information on
Cutters whereabouts. Why does Cole have to be in America to hunt him down? We dont
know exactly where he is - it could all be a pointless manhunt that will only ensure
that my baby enters this world without meeting her father. I need my partner back.
Eventually, I get tired of lying there unable to sleep and decide to get up. It's
almost 7 AM and some of the other women will be heading to the kitchen to help Cora
prepare breakfast by now.
I shower and get dressed, feeling better after letting the water wash away the
remnants of that dream. I hate having nightmares. It seems that the longer Cole is
gone, the worse the dreams get. When he's here, he grounds me. I feel safe. But when
he's gone I'm all alone in a big bed so when I'm sleeping my mind loves to reminds
me of the things I'm afraid of - Cutter being the most prominent fear of the moment,
although I still dream about Liam too. Even though I know he's dead, that fucker is
so far ingrained in my mind that I can't seem to get rid of him.
As I make my way toward the kitchen, I can hear the sound of pots and pans clanging
about as well as the happy chatter of women working together. Most people have no
Page 3
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
idea how biker community operates. They think we're all about fucking and fighting.
Were not. Were a family. Most of the time, we do very normal things. Everything is
split up in women's jobs and men's jobs. We work together. We take care of each
other it's what families do.
I'm not saying that we all sit around singing kumbaya or anything like that. I mean,
bikers have a reputation for a reason - there is fucking and fighting going on, but
that's just part of the life. The men fight for our lifestyle and our right to live
by our own rules. And the fucking well that's the perk of the lifestyle isnt?
Women love badarse bikers, and Im certainly no exception to that one.
The only difference between me and a lot of the other old ladies in the camp is that
Im not willing to share. I wont turn a blind eye to Cole fucking random sweetbutts
while hes on the road. Its just not ok by me.
Ive told him that if I ever find out hes fucked another woman; Ill be taking that
gorgeous cock of his off with my teeth. I will not share. After living the life I
have, I just want one thing that is mine and mine only, and thats Cole.
Good morning, Queen Mama, Cora says in greeting as I push through the doors. Shes
been calling me that ever since Cole became MC President and we found out I was
pregnant. She wipes her hands on a tea towel and comes over to me and places her
hands over my enormous belly. Oh that girl isnt going to be in there much longer,
she comments. Have you decided on a name for her yet?
I shake my head. No. She needs to wait for her daddy to come home before she can
come out though, I comment in return.
Aint no baby ever gonna wait for no man, she laughs. What are you doin in here
anyway sugar? Shouldnt you be restin up or somethin?
I need something to do. I cant sit around waiting for the baby to be born all the
time. Theres only so much daytime TV I can handle, I laugh. What can I do to
help?
Not much. Weve got it pretty much under control. How about you keep an eye on the
baked beans for me?
Sure.
I head over and take a hold of the long handled wooden spoon and slowly stir the
beans as they simmer gently, while I listen to some of the other girls talking.
Did you hear Mango is coming home today? Lucinda asks Doreen, as they carry loaves
of bread out of the pantry and start piling them into the industrial sized toaster.
Theyre both strippers at the clubs bar, but like every other woman who stays in
the compound, they have to help out with chores too.
Lucinda stands at one end, feeding the bread in by placing it on a conveyor belt
while the Doreen chews gum and catches them when they come out as toast at the other
end, then lays them on a tray. Its today? Have you heard how he is? she asks.
Yeah, hes still in a lot of pain. Hes had, like, twenty skin grafts or somethin
- Monique has been visitin him. She always had a soft spot for the guy.
Mango has been in hospital for months after being set on fire by that Molotov
cocktail that exploded at his feet on the day the Demon Brothers attacked. His torso
and arms took the brunt of the damage. The doctors said he was really lucky that he
was getting ready to ride out when he got hit, (they were told that a faulty wire in
his bike sparked his petrol tank and set him on fire) because he was wearing his
leather chaps and helmet at the time and they protected the majority of his body.
Although the poor guy will never be able to grow a beard, his visor was up and while
he protected his face with his hands, he still got burnt enough through his fingers
that it singed away a lot of facial hair and damaged the hair follicles. He still
has his rugged good looks though. The only difference I can see is that his baby
blue eyes arent quite as young looking anymore.
Hey Maddie. Are we doin anythin special for him tonight? Doreen asks.
Yeah, from what I know were doing a welcome home barbeque. I dont know how in the
mood for a party hell be, but everyone wants to show him were happy hes back.
Some of the guys have rebuilt his bike for him too. So it should be pretty great.
A knock on the serving counter interrupts our conversation.
Whats up? Cora asks Towball as she slides the aluminium partition up.
I need Maddie, he says, nodding toward me.
Oh, ok, I say, waiting until Cora comes over to me and takes over the stirring. I
walk through the door into the dining room. Is everything all right? I ask
Towball.
Towball is now Pips husband. From what Im told, theyve been dancing around each
Page 4
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
other for years but after the attack, they realised how short life is and bit the
bullet. Now shes his old lady and on top of that theyre legally married as well.
Ive never seen Pip happier.
When was the last time Cole contacted you? he asks in that ridiculously low voice
of his. He stands in front of me, his towering height dwarfing even me as he places
his hands on his hips.
My eyes drop to the ground as this sadness overcomes me. Almost a week ago, I
practically whisper as my hands slide soothingly over my belly.
In a gesture that seems too gentle for a man as large and muscular as Towball, he
lifts my chin so Im looking in his eyes. He speaks gently to me, his voice
soothing. You mean the world to him Maddie. Dont go doubtin whats between you
two. He needs to do what hes doin. But if you hear from him, get him to call me
ok?
He steps away from me but I catch his arm. Why? Whats going on?
Sorry Mads its Club business. Just tell him, ok?
Once everyone has begun to filter in for breakfast, I prepare a tray with two slices
of vegemite toast and a cup of sweet tea for my mother. I doubt that shell eat much
of it, but I at least have to try.
Shes been separating herself from the club ever since my father died. Its
understandable shes heart broken. From the stories Ive been told, their love
story spans decades. Theyve been through so much together and come out the other
end intact. Nothing could keep them apart except of course a well placed bullet
from a Demon Brother. Viper robbed our family of so much that day. Im glad Cole
sliced his throat open. Although, Im sure that bastard deserved so much more.
I think the only thing thats keeping mum together is trying to take care of me
during the final weeks of my pregnancy. Without that, I think shed be very quick to
follow my dad into the ground.
Reaching out, I tap lightly on her door then open it without waiting for her to
answer. I find her sitting on the edge of her bed, still in her nightgown and
staring off into space. A half burned cigarette sits between her fingers, the long
grey stick of ash, clinging helplessly to the end of it as the smoke spirals into
the air above her.
Mum? I say gently to get her attention.
She flinches slightly, causing the ash to drop and burst in a dark splotch on the
concrete floor. Her eyes focus on me as she comes out of her days.
Oh, hey sweetheart. Did you manage to get any more sleep? her lips curl into a
smile but her eyes remain lifeless. Shes only going through the motions.
Not really. I brought you some breakfast. I set the tray down on a small table.
Im not really hungry. Why dont you have it? Youll need your strength to take
care of the baby.
Looking around the room, I notice a bottle of Jack Daniels sitting open next to an
almost empty glass.
How about you eat one piece and I eat the other? I suggest, holding one out to
her.
Sighing, she takes it from me and takes a miniscule bite. I take a seat and eat the
other slice while we both stay quiet.
Mum takes drags of her cigarette in between bites of toast, then washes it all down
with the last of her whiskey.
Do you want to tell me what your nightmares are about? she asks after a while.
I shake my head, as I force the images from my mind. I dont want to think about
them while Im awake. I just need Cole to come home, thats all.
Your father kept the nightmares away for me too. She reaches over and lights
another cigarette, inhaling deeply.
Are they back now?
I dont know. I dont sleep to find out.
Later that afternoon, the sound of a beeping van horn and bike engines revving at
the front gate gets everyones attention and a sense of excitement fills the air as
we know that this must be Mango coming home. After losing so many, each person,
injured and recovered then able to come home is a joyful moment for all of us.
We all rush out to greet him as the prospect, who took over Bangers lookout job,
slides the gate open. His name is Darren, although he introduces himself as Dazza
Page 5
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
but everyone just calls him Prospect. Its something that Im sure hell be
relieved to have over once hes been with us long enough to patch in.
Dust kicks up as the bikes and van pull up in front of the clubhouse. Pip moves over
to Towball and stands by as he hands his helmet and leather jacket over to her. She
says something quietly to him and he shakes his head. I find myself trying to figure
out whats going on when the back of the van opens and Mango gets out.
Wheres my fuckin bike? he yells with a smile, causing a fair few of the men to
let out a cheer to welcome back their brother.
Im not sure if hes able to ride yet. Hes still wearing compression bandages that
can be seen poking out under his t-shirt and cut.
He gets hauled off to the workshop by a few of the guys, leaving everyone else,
including Monique who went with the escort to pick him up, behind.
Climbing out of the van, she carries his bag in one hand and blows her hair out of
her face. There has been a huge change in her demeanour since the attack, and shes
dressed in simple jeans and a fitted t-shirt with her hair pulled back into a
ponytail. Gone are the slut clothes she normally wears. And without her usual
bucketful of make up on, shes actually quite pretty.
Can I give you a hand? I ask her, causing her to laugh a little.
Shouldnt I be asking you that? Look at the size of you, she says, indicating my
belly.
Are you calling me fat? I joke.
Funny thing. Since the attack, Monique and I have also come to an understanding.
When she started hanging out at the hospital with Mango all the time, it was thought
that she wasnt pulling her weight enough because she wasnt dancing and she wasnt
an Old Lady. I stood up for her and said that looking after a family member counts
as pulling her weight so they backed off and left her be.
Shes never going to get an apology for the rib breaking incident, but were on
speaking terms now. Im not sure if well ever be friends, but at least were not
fighting anymore.
Almost. Just look at the fucking size of you! I cant believe your skinny legs can
keep you standing.
I roll my eyes. Whatever. His rooms made up. You can take his shit there yourself,
I tell her and begin to walk away.
Hey Mads, she calls as I turn to leave. Thanks for... you know.
I nod then head inside to help oversee the general running of the party setup.
Although Im not far in when I hear the hushed tones of an argument.
What do you mean theyre out there? It sounds like Pip. I move closer to the sound
and peek around the corner to find her in conversation with Towball.
I mean exactly fuckin that. Hes back in the fuckin country and theres movement.
Im not telling you more than that because its none of your fuckn business.
This club is my family. You are my husband. Its all my fuckin business, she
retorts.
Whos back in the country? I ask approaching them, and wondering why Pip is privy
to information and Im not.
Nobody, Towball responds immediately, although I see the stern look he gives Pip
as if hes telling her to keep her fucking mouth shut with his eyes. I have to go,
he says and stalks off the way I just came, leaving Pip and I on our own.
Whos back? I ask again.
She shakes her head. I overheard a phone conversation that I wasnt supposed to.
Just call Cole. Get him to talk to Towball. Its important.
Why cant you just tell me?
Because, youre pregnant and you should be resting. Not worrying about club
business.
Im not a fucking invalid! I cry out.
I know hun, I know. Just try and get in contact with Cole, ok? I think the guys
need him back. I promise you, thats all I know.
Chapter 3
When I was working as a Clearance Diver in the Navy, we were trained to be ghosts.
Australia doesnt have these massive armed forces, so we had to train like
motherfuckers and complete out missions with limited manpower.
I destroyed everything I was tasked to. I never swayed. I was never caught. I did my
Page 6
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
job. I got in and I got out. Some men though, took the power of what we were taught
and sanctioned to do, and they let it go to their heads.
On one mission, there were three of us, and we had to clear a house. We were given
our targets and while it was ok if there was collateral damage, on this particular
night, it wasnt needed. But one of the guys on the team took things too far. I
caught him raping one of the women and when I tried to stop him, he snapped her neck
and laughed about it.
I lost my shit, beat the crap out of him and well... that was my last mission. You
dont turn on your own ever.
I still believe that what he did was wrong though, thats why tonight, I wont be
taking out any women unnecessarily.
I reach up, and pull on my dark grey balaclava to cover my face. Im dressed head to
toe in dark grey. So many people think that you should wear black at night to remain
unseen, but that just makes you a shadow. I want to be invisible.
Pulling out my phone, I move to silence it, although it lights up and vibrates in my
hand, telling me that I have an international caller. Hitting ignore I switch it
off and place it in my back pocket. I cant be interrupted now. Not when Im so
close. Screwing the silencer onto my gun, I double-check the chamber before
holstering it and checking the knife strapped to my side.
Ive kept a close eye on the Demon Brothers compound, ever since the news broke
about Cutters supposed betrayal of them. Cops and news vans have been parked in the
street, wanting to interview them for one thing or another.
The news reports are saying that theres no evidence as to who initiated the attack.
It was thought to be a rival gang, but police arent ruling out a serial killer as
these kinds of bodies have been turning up over the last three months exactly the
amount of time that Cutters been here.
Carrying a pair of bolt cutters, I slice through the chain link fence like its
butter and then loosely wire it shut for a quick escape. Ive scoped the place out
completely and plotted my entry route to ensure I get in undetected.
I can hear the thump of heavy metal music in the distance, as I cover the ground
that lies between the fence and the compound. A prospect and a patch sit watch
outside with their weapons sitting in plain sight. Theres a handgun on a metal drum
and a couple of shotguns propped up against their chairs for easy access.
Wish I wasnt on duty tonight, man. Im dyin for some fuckin dragon smoke.
Cigarettes are for teenagers and fat chicks, the prospect grumbles, flicking the
butt of his cigarette into the darkness.
Yeah, Im sposed to be cock deep in that new prissy bitch they brought in. The
patch sucks in his breath and holds his hands out like hes grabbing a set of tits.
I just wanna squish that girls tits together and fuck them til I unload over that
pretty little neck of hers. He shakes his head and pulls out a pack of cigarettes
and lights one before offering another to the prospect. We just hang tight though,
kid. Well do our shift then you can smoke up as much as you want and I can fuck
that girl til she...
I dont hear anymore as I slide in through the door behind them. I would have put a
bullet through both of them then and there, but I didnt want the risk of the flash
being seen from the street, plus, I need someone here to take the fall for what Im
about to do.
The first room I come to is kind of like a reception area. Theres this big Demon
Brothers logo on the wall and a bunch of biker paraphernalia. The lights are off
inside besides a neon Harley Davidson sign glowing orange and white, offering just
enough light to illuminate a door that will take me to the thumping music.
Standing near the entrance, I listen to the noise on the other side. Based on the
amount of voices I can hear, Id say there are at least twenty people in there...
this is where my training will be put to the test.
Un-holstering my gun, I slide in through the door and do a quick survey of the room.
The lighting is typical for any sort of bar, dim and smoky just how I like it.
There are five demon brothers sitting along the bar. One is getting his dick sucked
by some blonde, while the others either look on or just drink and talk. Around the
edges of the room are a few guys with women, doing what they all do best - fucking,
or dancing like theyre about to fuck. Another six are hanging around the pool
table, but theyre not playing pool, theyre lining up to fuck some girl who doesnt
look very into it. Im assuming shes the prissy bitch the patch was talking about
outside.
Page 7
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
Fifteen Demon Brothers, twenty bullets in my Beretta clip. Keeping on the move, I
begin picking them off one by one. The silencer muffles the gun blast, and the music
masks the sound of the hammer strike as I let off each round. The only thing giving
away my location is a flash.
I take out the men who are sitting first, their bodies slump and their drinks fall.
Demon brothers begin looking at their brothers not understanding what exactly is
going on until its too late and theyre down too. Five down.
The girl who was sucking cock, jumps up suddenly as the guy she was working slides
off his chair. I dont have much time. She leans down to roll him over and in the
time it takes her to squat, Ive shot the five guys lined up at the pool table. They
drop to the ground, and the sixth one is so busy fucking he doesnt even notice.
I see the cock sucking girl scramble backward as she realises her biker is bleeding
from a hole in his head. She opens her mouth to scream but instead finds my hand
clapping over it.
Shhhhh, I hiss in her ear as I hold my gun over her shoulder and aim at the final
four, fucking around the edges of the room and take them all out. They drop on the
floor, their dicks still sticking up in the air. A couple of the girls laugh and
think its a game. But then they look around. Tell them all to be quiet or Ill do
to them what Im about to do to him, I tell the girl, pushing her forward as I
stride toward the idiot still fucking on the table. A couple of girls see me and I
hold my finger against my lips as I come up behind him and drag him off the girl.
Whoa! What the . With a flick of his jaw, I twist his head, snapping his neck
and releasing him in a heap on the floor.
The women huddle together against the wall, covering their mouths in horror as they
stare at me. I reach down to the floor and pick up part of the girl from the pool
tables clothing and throw them at her.
The whole event takes less than ninety seconds to complete.
Get dressed. Leave through the back door. Tell no one, or I will track you all
down. Understood? Wide-eyed, they nod. Good, now wheres the club president?
With a shaking hand the girl from the pool table points her finger to a door behind
the bar. Thank you, I tell her before striding out and through it. It takes me to
a corridor lined with doors their sleeping quarters.
Quickly and quietly, I open and close each door, eventually coming to one thats
locked. I press my ear to the wood and listen. I can hear fucking noises on the
other side. Using my knife, I slide it in the door jam and jimmy the lock open.
Holy fuck! he yells as the door swings open and hes met with the likes of me,
over six foot, as wide as any door frame and dressed head to toe in dark grey. He
cant see my face. He can only see my size and my weapons. He knows hes dead.
Wheres Cutter? I demand.
Who the fuck are you?
Wheres Cutter? I repeat.
Who the fuck are you?! he repeats with a yell this time. The girl hes with slides
off the bed and huddles on the floor.
I shoot him in the shin.
Holy fuck! he yells, just as the girl starts to scream.
Shut the fuck up or youre both dead. Now tell me. Where is Cutter?
He fuckin took off. Hes a coward. Killed one of our men and fled like a fuckin
pussy. Now who the fuck are you?! he yells.
Your worst fuckin nightmare. I aim the gun and shoot straight through his eye,
watching as his head snaps back and he slumps back on the bed.
The girl on the floor starts hyperventilating. She isnt stupid enough to
scream...yet. I aim my gun at her and give her the same speech I gave the others.
She of course listens, grabs her clothes and runs out of the room.
Lighting a cigarette, I take a deep inhale, then check over the other rooms for any
other demon brothers, before I head back to the bar and grab a few bottles of hard
liquor and upend them as I walk back the way I came.
From the door, I hurl the bottles into the centre of the room, the music drowns out
the smashing glass as it explodes on the concrete floor. From the door, I flick my
cigarette, pausing only to watch the liquor burst to life as the flames lick their
way across the room.
Closing the dark sliding door, I pocket the silencer from my gun and wedge the
Beretta in the door jam so it wont move without one of them grabbing the gun and
putting their fingerprints all over it.
Page 8
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
Knowing the fire alarm will soon go off, I move to the front door and peer out. The
prospect and the patch are still talking shit when I get there, the music is still
going as it was before, and the women havent had enough time to run around from the
back of the property yet.
You know who else I wouldnt mind doing that Mindy chick.
Shes in line to be the presidents old lady you jackass. You cant go fuckin with
her.
I could if he...fuck, what the hell is that?
Fire alarm. Quick.
They jump up and run through the door, straight past me. As I slip out undetected, I
hear them curse that the door wont move and comment on the gun. I smile to myself.
Its so easy to slip back into the man I used to be. The killing machine. The ghost.
I make my way back to the fence where I got in, then make my way, a couple of
clicks, back to where I hid my bike in the woods. There, I strip out of my greys and
back into my normal clothes, minus the cut or any other attire that could
distinguish me as an Outlaw Rider in Demon Brother territory.
Pulling a bottle of bourbon out of my saddlebag, I pile my grey clothes on the
ground and add a few sticks and twigs before taking a swig of the bourbon and
dousing the pile with the liquor as well.
I light another cigarette and flick the match onto the clothes, watching as the
cleansing fire burns away the last of the evidence. Leaning against my bike, I take
another swig of bourbon, then look up into the night sky.
Far in the distance, the sirens of fire trucks are wailing toward the Demon Brothers
compound as flames devour its structure, emitting an orange glow that I can see
above the tree line.
Inhaling on my cigarette, I lift the liquor bottle up to the sky. Burn in hell,
motherfuckers, I toast, feeling as though Ive rid the world of some of the worst
men in existence. I just took out an entire Demon Brothers compound and the two
idiots on watch will get blamed for it.
Even if one of the girls tells someone what she saw, who are the police going to
believe some girl with drugs in her system saying she saw a grey man kill
everyone, or the actual evidence of the gun that killed them all in the patch and
the prospects possession?
I can tell you right now what will happen, and so far, besides Cutter fleeing again,
everything is going according to plan. They have no idea the Outlaw Riders are
involved, and it needs to stay that way.
When the Demon Brothers attacked us, it was the peak of a battle that has raged on
between the two clubs, worldwide, since even before I was born. The Outlaw Riders
Chapter Presidents voted to wage war on them and attack them in return to finally
end our feud and eradicate that scum from our roads.
Those of us with military training got together and decided that stealth and
subterfuge would be our best mode of attack we didnt want to lose any more of our
men than we absolutely had to by attacking the same way they attacked us.
Its common for those of us who grew up in the life to go and do a stint in the
armed forces to gain military training. Its whats kept us strong in body, strong
in mind, and strong in numbers. We often bring back other military recruits who
didnt find the rules and regulations of the armed forces to their liking. A lot of
them were drawn to the military for their sense of family. A motorcycle club has
that too, and guys who train well and have a healthy respect for freedom and
hierarchy, make great prospects and almost always make it so they patch in.
Our plan has been to watch, study and wait. Were to attack in small tactical groups
when the time is right. Although, I made it clear that I was going after Cutter on
my own. No one else can do what I can. Im the only one with specialist training and
I cant risk taking anyone else into the situations Im creating.
There is no honour in what were doing. Were simply tackling a pest problem weve
had for years and undertaking an act of extermination. Whether its killing them
ourselves or turning them against each other, we wont stop until its done.
As I hear the sirens move past my hiding place, I take one last drag of my cigarette
and drop the butt into the small fire thats burnt my clothing to ash, waiting for
it to blacken before kicking out the fire and spreading the ashes on the forest
floor. I dont want there to be any trace of my being here.
Placing the bottle back in my saddlebag, I get on my bike, and ride back to the
Outlaw Rider clubhouse. The entire way there, Im pissed about the fact that I
Page 9
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
didnt find Cutter. The fucker is on the run again and Im not sure any Demon
Brother on this planet will give him refuge theyll all be out to kill him too.
After all, they think he just killed one of their brothers.
He wont be hard to find. Ive made him desperate. And desperate men make mistakes.
I just need to be around when he does...
When I arrive back at the Colorado Outlaw Riders compound Ive been staying at,
theres a party in full force. Flashing my lights as I pull up to the gate, a
prospect with orange hair runs out and opens it up for me. I nod my head. Thanks
Blue, I say to him as I ride in and park my bike within the neat row of Harleys
proudly on display.
Dude, Ive gotta ask you. Why do you keep callin me Blue? Everyone else just calls
me Junior. Been that way since I was born, the prospect asks me.
Removing my helmet, I turn to him and smile. Blues what we call redheads in
Australia. Youre so fuckin ginger I cant help but call you that, I explain.
Blue? Why the fuck do they call redheads Blue, he asks, scrunching his face up
in confusion.
I slap him on the arm and laugh. Its Aussie humour mate. We like things that are
ironic. Red and blue are opposite - just go with it.
Getting off my bike, I slide into my cut and pull out another cigarette, lighting up
and then offering one to Blue. Gratefully, he takes one, happy for the company.
Whats the big celebration in there? I ask, tilting my head toward the clubhouse.
Huge fire out at the Demon Brothers compound. Big Jim was mannin the police
scanner and heard its pretty bad. Theyre draggin bodies out and everythin. You
dont know anythin bout that do you? he asks, giving me a nudge on my arm. Heard
thats where that Cutter guy youre after was stayin.
I shake my head. Heard hes moved on.
Does that mean youre movin on too? he asks, not really realising that I
completely evaded answering his question.
I shrug. Who fuckin knows man? But what I do know is that Im goin in there to
get shitfaced. Keep safe Blue, I say, holding my fist up for him to bump.
He shakes his head with a smile and thumps his fist against mine. Blue, he repeats
as if hes testing it on his tongue. I slap his shoulder good-naturedly and head
inside.
The music is as loud as the heavy metal at the Demon compound, but it has a
completely different feel to it. This is all some sort of country rock. Theres
fiddles playing and people singing about finding something theyve lost. Its not
Jimmy Barnes but these Americans still have decent taste.
Lifting my finger as I walk toward the bar, one of the girls they keep around here
nods and grabs a bottle of beer before twisting the top off and setting it in front
of me.
Where have you been all night, Ive been looking out for you, she coos, leaning
across the bar to talk close to my ear. Ive got a thing for Australian men.
Shes wearing a shirt thats tied just under her tits and theyre spilling out all
over the fuckin place. My eyes drop to them momentarily as I lift my beer then meet
her eyes again with a single raised brow.
She keeps leaning forward, giving me that look that girls do when they want to suck
your cock (or do whatever the fuck else you ask them to for that matter...).
You and me, we aint gonna happen, sweetheart, I tell her. Thanks for the beer
though. I give her and wink and walk away from the bar to go and find the Chapter
President. He goes by the name of Griz. I havent asked its origin, but I reckon
its got a fuck load to do with the fact that hes huge and hairy like a grizzly
bear.
I find him sitting in the meeting room talking quietly to his Sargent, Boone. By the
looks of him, Im sure hes wanting to talk to me about tonight.
Cole, he says with a nod as I enter the already open door. Join us. Its a bit of
a night for celebration.
Do you think its wise that were celebratin? Dont you think it might draw
attention to us? I ask as I slide into one of the wooden chairs around the table
and take a swig of beer.
You havent seen the news, Boone says, nodding to the television mounted on the
wall at the end of the table. Theyve got the closed captions turned on so they can
read what the reporters are saying.
Page 10

Theyre already calling it as a mass murder suicide. They found a prospect on
ground outside blew his own head off with a shotgun. Theyre reporting that
everyone inside was murdered and he shot himself after setting the fire. He had the
weapons on him, so its pretty open and shut, Griz says. So yeah, time to
celebrate. He slides a glass over to me and fills it up with so much wild turkey
youd think it was tea I was drinking.
I put my beer aside and lift the glass, trying not to spill any. To a few less scum
on this earth then, I toast, gulping down the liquid at the same time as the other
two.
Why dont you close the door Boone. Its too fuckin noisy out there, Griz asks,
waiting to speak again until the door of the meeting room has clicked shut and the
sounds of partying have lessened. Was Cutter there? he asks me. He and Boone are
the only two who knew what I was doing tonight.
I shake my head and down some more Bourbon, draining the glass before placing it on
the table in front of me. He flew the fuckin coop like the chicken shit cunt he
is, I growl out.
Grizs chair creaks as he leans back. I'm sorry you didn't get your man, son. Griz
is a good twenty years older than me, so I let him get away with calling me son.
I light up another cigarette and blow the smoke into the air. Dont matter. He
wont have many places to hide anymore. Aint no Demon Brother compound open their
gates to him after that frame job. Hes as good as dead to them.
You reckon hes gone back home? Boone asks , and I nod.
Yeah. Only place that makes sense, although knowing our mother if she thinks hes
responsible for killing a brother, shes likely to kill him herself.
Then I guess you'll be heading back too, Griz says, refilling my glass only to the
halfway point this time.
I nod in response. Yeah, first flight out of here.
Shame you can't stay, Boone says, downing his drink in one gulp. Youd be a great
asset getting rid of the rest of the Demon brothers in this country. From the looks
of what you did tonight, he smiles and looks at the television, shaking his head in
amazement. Seamless brother. Fuckin seamless. I reckon if we gave you long enough,
youd take out the whole fuckin club single-handedly. Its a beautiful thing that
ability you have.
He reaches across the table and we clap our arms together, gripping each other's
forearms in a shake. I nod my head respectfully. Thanks man. But you know that if
you follow the tactical plans we've been putting together and only use each Chapters
best men, then youll be rid of any more Demon scum before fuckin Christmas. Just
no women casualties unless its absolutely necessary. Understood? When Prez and
Grizs older brother started this club, it was about family for those without. We've
never hurt women and were not going to start now.
We hear you, son. Me and Boone, well oversee the whole fuckin operation. Just
make sure you get that fuckin cunt of a man when you get home. Cutter must die
Cole. I know hes your brother but...
Half brother, I interrupt.
Half brother, Griz corrects. But youve gotta get rid of him. Hes killed more of
us than any Demon Brother ever has. In the time it took to locate him, hed already
defiled ten of our women and killed five men and thats just in the US. God only
knows what he did back in Australia before he came to wreak his special brand of
havoc over here.
Too much, I reply, knocking back the last of my drink.
Boone clears his throat. Listen, I know you dont want to hurt women so you
probably dont want to hear this, but what will you do once you find your mother.
Shes known to be just as bad as any male Demon Brother out there. Hell, stories of
her are known all over the world.
Dragging on the last of my cigarette, I drop the butt in my glass and push it away
and retake my bottle of beer. I said we dont hurt women unnecessarily. Loraine
will be a necessary kill.
But shes your mother Cole. I know youre badass and all, but I dont know if even
you could go through with that.
Then I guess you dont know me at all, I say, pushing my chair back as I stand.
Thanks for your hospitality, gentlemen. My flight leaves tomorrow at lunchtime and
right now, I want nothing more than to call my old lady and get some sleep. Have a
good night.
Page 11

With that, I leave the meeting room and head to my room. Just the thought of my
beautiful Maddie threatens to split my heart in two. In a way I feel as though I
failed her. I came here to get Cutter, but all I managed to do was drive him back
home. Right back to where shes supposed to be safe. I need to get back to her. I
need to keep her safe.
I pull my phone out of my pocket and power it on, keying in the number I know off by
heart...
Chapter 4
The day seemed to drag on for me. I tried to call Cole a couple of times, but I was
unable to get through. Hes using a burner phone over there and has no voicemail set
up on it so I know Im just going to have to wait until he calls me, himself.
Although, based on the frequency of his calls lately, that could be weeks from now.
I hate that I cant call him. I hate that I cant talk to him. I just want him back.
I want him back now.
At least tonight, Ill have something to distract myself with. Mangos welcome back
party is happening soon, so Ive just showered and washed my hair ready for a night
of as much dancing and eating (no drinking or smoking for me) as a heavily pregnant
woman can handle. Im thinking that Ill be lucky to make it til midnight as my
mind is too busy missing Cole to have any sort of nap this afternoon.
Wrapped in my towel, I sit on the bed and pull my long blonde hair over my shoulder
and begin the arduous process of combing it out. Ive thought about cutting it
shorter, but Cole loves it, so for him, Ill keep it.
Suddenly, my phone bursts to life, displaying an international number on the screen.
I suck in my breath. Cole, I gasp, reaching out quickly to grab and answer it.
Ive missed you, I say, the moment it connects.
Yeah, baby. Ive missed you too. My cock aches for not having you round it, he
rumbles, his voice like sex in my ear.
I hate that you dont call me every day. What have you been doing Cole? When are
you coming home?
Tomorrow babe. My plane leaves tomorrow.
I cover my mouth as I let out a cry, so glad that hes going to come back to me.
Hey, he coos, Dont go gettin yourself in a state. Theyll think Im bein awful
to you or somethin.
Im sorry, its just hormones. I cry in commercials right now.
He chuckles. That isnt something I ever thought Id see. Hows our girl anyway.
She growing good and all?
Yeah. She needs her daddy back so she can come into this world.
Yeah babe, Im workin on it. In just over a day, Ill have you in my arms.
I cant wait. What time is it for you over there?
Bout four in the mornin. You have your dinner yet? Gotta keep your strength up.
Not yet. Were having a barbeque for Mango. He came back to the compound today.
We talk for a while about things that have been happening here since we last spoke
and I realise that hes been drinking. So, I question him on it.
Yeah babe, weve had a bit of a party here tonight too. But before you freak out, I
had a few drinks with the chapter president and came to my room to talk to you. Im
not interested in club whores ok? Youre pussy is the only pussy Im interested in.
Good, I say, missing him more knowing hes almost home. Otherwise Id have to go
there and break a few ribs.
No baby, never. Youre the only one I think about. Actually, Im getting hard
thinkin about you right now. Where are you?
In our room at the club house, I reply, feeling my insides clench as I think about
his hard cock. Ive never been as horny as I have been since getting pregnant. It
was great while he was still here in the first half, but since hes been gone, Ive
been left to my own devices and wanting.
I want you to lie on the bed, he says, his voice low and thick with his own
arousal. Touch yourself and tell me what youre doing.
Lying back, my breathing increases, feeling excited about having any sort of
connection with him. My body has felt so lonely without him.
Im opening my towel, and Im running my hand over my breast. Theyre so much
bigger and sensitive now, I start, listening to him breath on the other end. Take
out your cock Cole, I whisper as my hand massages my breast and tweaks my nipple.
Page 12
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
Tell me what it feels like.
Do you hear that? he asks, as his belt buckle clicks and clangs and I hear his zip
pull down.
Yeah I do, I breathe, Pull it out, tell me how hard it is.
Its rock fuckin hard baby. It wants to sink inside that hot cunt of yours and
spend a fuckin year in there.
I slide my hand between my legs as I listen to him. My pussy is drenched, waiting
for you. Its like silk and feels... oh... it feels like heaven imagining you
there.
Jesus Christ baby, youre fucking killin me. I want to taste you. Suck your
fingers and tell me what it tastes like.
I drive my fingers inside myself then pull them out and lick the juices, making
audible pleasure noises for Coles benefit. It tastes sweet.
Get junior out of the drawer baby, he murmurs. I want to stroke my cock as my
copy fills you up.
Leaning over, I open the drawer beside the bed and slide out the dildo Cole had
moulded to the shape of his dick. Its a perfect likeness and has helped pass some
very lonely nights with out him.
I have it, I tell him as I position it at my opening. And Im pushing it in. Oh
Cole, it feels fucking amazing.
I hear him let out a light moan. Push it in all the way baby, let me feel you up.
Oh yes Cole, I call out as I pump Junior in and out of myself, angling it so its
hitting me in just the right spot to make me cum.
Oh baby, imagining your sweet cunt over me is driving me wild. Im gonna cum baby.
So am I, Cole. Oh my god! I cry out as my orgasm rips through me.
Keep pumping baby, I want to hear you yelling.
Oh god, Cole, Oh god! my hips buck up and down as I thrust the dildo in and out
riding the wave of my release. Cole groans in my ear and I know hes cum.
Oh baby. I fuckin miss you, he pants.
I fucking miss you too, I whisper back.
Do me a favour? he asks.
Anything.
Take a picture of Junior still in your cunt and send it through to me. It can keep
me company on the long flight home.
I laugh. Ok. Just hurry alright? I dont know how long our baby girl is going to
stay in there.
Im comin baby. Im fuckin comin as fast as I can.
Once I clean myself up again, I get dressed in a simple summer dress that easily
stretches over my protruding stomach and head outside to where everything has been
set up for a party. Theres a good fifty people outside mingling and congratulating
Mango on his return home.
I head over there and wait until I get the chance to say something. Im glad youre
back, I say to him, as I reach up to give him a gentle hug. Im not sure how much
pain touching him will inflict.
Ah, give me a proper hug Mads. Im not made of glass, he says, wrapping his arms
around me and giving me a tight squeeze. The compression gear is to protect the new
skin. The burns are healed.
Oh... good, I say. Listen, I know we went through this at the hospital, but I
just want you to know again that Im so sorry this happened to you. It was my fault
they attacked...
No, no, no. Seriously Mads. Dont even go there. Those fuckin Demon Brothers have
been lookin for an excuse to attack us for fuckin ever. No one here blames you. So
you gotta quit blamin yourself. Alright? Besides, the only thing Im real pissed
about is the tatts that got ruined. Im hopin I get to bag a bit of Demon scum
myself just for that.
All in good time babe. You know most of them are in the wind. They scattered after
Cole killed the majority of their club when he got Maddie back. The guys are still
tryin to find them, Monique says as she moves up alongside him. Hows it goin
Maddie? she asks me.
Ok, still carrying a giant ball everywhere I go, I laugh, indicating my round
belly.
Got any idea when that man of yours is coming home? Gotta let Mango here get his
Page 13
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
chance for revenge too.
I nod. Actually, I do. He should be on a plane by the time we wake up in the
morning.
I thought I told you to tell him to call me, Towball says as he slips in beside
me.
Oh god, I blush. Im so sorry. I was just so happy to hear he was coming home
that I forgot.
Its ok, he smiles, giving me a bit of a playful nudge. He called me a little
while ago. Were gonna ride out to meet him at the airport.
Do you think I could come too?
He shakes his head. Sorry Mads, youre gonna have to sit this one out.
Thats fucked, I retort. Im his fucking Old Lady. I should be the first one to
see him get off the plane.
Not when youre just about due. Youre not sittin on a goddamn fuckin bike when
youre just about ready to pop. How the fuck are you gonna hold on? Huh? And
besides, Cole would rip my head from my shoulders if I took you there.
I can get my mother to drive me.
Sweetheart, no offence, but if you can get your mama to stay sober long enough to
drive you in there, then be my guest. But that woman aint been sober since the day
Prez died and you know it.
I look over to where my mother is sitting silently watching the party while she
finishes one cigarette and uses the butt to light her next one. In her hand is a
bottle of whiskey. She isnt even bothering with a glass.
Point taken, I concede, excusing myself before heading over to the barbeque and
getting a plate for myself and her. I just grab a couple of bread rolls, sausages,
onions and sauce. Nothing special, but its something I think shell be able to
stomach with a belly full of alcohol. Mum? I say, holding out the plate for her
when I approach.
She looks up at me, her eyes glassy and unfocused as she takes the paper plate from
my hands. Thanks.
I sit down next to her and try to make conversation while we watch everyone having
fun. Its nice to see Mango looking so healthy, I comment, watching him sway to
the music with his arms wrapped around Monique.
Nice to see him pick a woman too. Looks like him and Monique are pretty cosy these
days, she says, taking a bite of her roll before washing it down with more liquor.
Yeah. They are... Did you hear that Cole is coming back tomorrow? I ask.
I thought I heard someone talking about it. Im glad. Im real glad. Ive been
worried about you without him, she muses.
I reach over and squeeze her knee. Im lucky Ive had you though.
She shrugs her shoulder. I cant be here forever. He needs to be where his family
is instead of chasing his ghosts.
Its my turn to shrug my shoulder. Its important to him. Its important to all of
us. I want Cutter gone too.
She stares off into the distance, focusing on the flames of the barrels that are set
up for both warmth and light. Men like that never live a long life. You have to
trust in that.
She takes another long drink of her whiskey and takes a drag of her cigarette, both
seeming much more important to her than her food.
After sitting with her long enough to finish my own food, I again excuse myself and
move off in search of something to do. My mother will stay exactly where she is for
the whole party, until she passes out and a couple of the guys carry her back to her
room. I think thats the only sleep she ever gets when shes so drunk she passes
out.
I turn my arm over and run my fingers over the Outlaw Riders tattoo I have that
marks me as Coles Old Lady. I cant imagine having Cole gone for good. Just having
him gone for a couple of months has been hard enough.
Pip walks up to me and drapes her arm over my shoulders. How you going,
mumma-to-be? You think you can get your dance on with that giant ball youre carting
around?
Smiling I nod. Yeah, I reckon I can get a bit of dancing in.
Good, cause every man wants a dance with the queen of the MC, she grins, guiding
me to where the band has set up and people are already dancing.
Immediately, Dingo moves over and takes my hand. He bows dramatically as he says,
Page 14
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
Me lady, and twirls me around slowly. Hes almost sixty and despite a lifestyle
thats been filed with heavy drinking and smoking, the man is still full of energy.
His voice sounds like hes swallowed a cup of gravel when he speaks, but hes a good
guy and despite never being able to stay true to a woman long enough to choose
himself an Old Lady, hes still father to at least seven kids whose mothers continue
to have ties to the MC.
Mango says youre still thinkin the whole attack was your fault, he says in my
ear as we sway to the music.
I give my shoulder a bounce in response. Isnt it though?
Thats a hella lot of shit to carry round on those tiny shoulders of yours. Aint
do nobody any good you thinkin that way. It werent your fault sister. Was just one
of them shit things that happens when motherfuckers cant let things go. Them Demon
Brothers were goin to find some reason to come get us. Just a shame they had to do
it over someone as sweet as you.
I drop my face, feeling a little uncomfortable with him being so complimentary of
me. Im not sweet Dingo. I dont think theres a sweet bone in my body. Im no long
lost princess and Im certainly no queen. Nothing really good has happened since
Ive been here. Its been fighting and recovery the whole damn time.
Look around you. Do you see one person givin you the evil eye?
I glance around, watching as everyone seems to truly be enjoying the night. I shake
my head in the negative.
Exactly. Theres sweetness in you. Same as when you was a little girl. You make
this place better. Dont doubt that, ok? He gives me one last twirl as the song
ends. I nod, giving him a smile and a small kiss on the cheek. He grins back, his
eyes sparkling in the low light of the party lamps. See, if Id met a girl like you
twenty years ago, Id have meself an Old Lady. They just dont make many like ya. It
wouldnt be special if they did.
Blushing again, I move off the dance floor and wave off another couple of dance
offers, claiming to be thirsty and in need of a drink. When I get over to the
makeshift bar area, Im met by Cora, whos been busy acting as club mother and
making sure everyone is fed and watered.
Here you go, Love, she says, handing me a plastic cup full of lemonade. Itll
give you a bit of energy.
Thanks, I say accepting the drink and taking a large gulp. Looks like everyones
having fun.
Yeah. Everyone loves bringing a brother home. Although, that Dingo should be glad
Coles not here the way he was makin you blush. Hes like three times your age, so
he should know better.
I shake my head. It wasnt like that at all. He was just talking to me.
You gonna tell me what about?
I shrug my shoulders. Just telling me not to be so hard on myself.
How so?
Tears burn my eyes. Im not sure if its just pregnancy hormones or real emotion,
but I need to look away for a while and focus on something different before I can
talk again.
Its just all this. I mean, I know that everyones happy that Mangos home and all.
But we wouldnt be needing this party if I hadnt come back and messed everything
up. I dont know... I guess I just struggle with my place here. I came back and
brought a hellfire with me, and now Im the club presidents old lady an.... I
just... I dont know why anyone wants me here. Why are they all so good to me? I
came back and people died, people got hurt. Ive started a war. How is everyone ok
with that?
She reaches out and wraps her arms around me, sliding her hand down my long braid
and giving it a gentle tug as we separate.
Dont you get it girl? You arent just some lay that crawled in from off the
street. Youre the club princess. You were stolen from us. Havin you returned is
like fuckin magic. The club was... I dont know... it was just devoid of life after
you were stolen. So many men looked for you everywhere. The cops couldnt find you.
We couldnt find you. Losin a kid... we all felt that loss. You know? Then finally,
you were found and this club would have fought through a dozen Demon Brother attacks
to keep you safe. Dont ever go thinkin you arent deservin of our protection baby
girl. Cause youre the one we all feel like we let down. We can only imagine what
you were put through darlin. You left this beautiful, cherished little girl, and
Page 15
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
you came back as a damaged and down trodden woman. Aint no one deserve the life you
got sweetheart. No one at all.
I blink rapidly, trying desperately to keep my tears from falling out of my eyes.
Seeing me get upset, Cora wraps her arms around me one more time and gently rubs my
back.
How about you go and get some rest. Its close to midnight and Im pretty sure that
baby is robbin you of a whole bunch of energy right now, she suggests.
I nod. Yeah, shes never still for long, I smile.
You figured out her name yet?
Were still trying to agree. I like Zia, Cole likes Rose.
Maybe she could be Zia-Rose then?
Maybe, I agree, thinking that might actually be a nice compromise. I might just
go check on mum and then Ill head off to bed. Thanks for the talk Cora. It helped a
lot.
My pleasure sugar.
Walking back to where Id left my mother, I find her laid back against the back of
the plastic lawn chair, her face blank after passing out. Between her fingers are
the last remnants of her cigarette and in her other hand is the now empty liquor
bottle.
I look around to see whos free to give me a hand. Most men are pretty drunk
themselves now, but the prospects on lookout, and maybe Towball, are still standing
sober.
Heading over to where Towball is sitting down, watching Pip as she dances to the
music in front of him, I apologise for interrupting.
I just cant get her there on my own. Can you help please? I ask him.
Course. You girls go and get her room ready and Ill grab another guy to give me a
hand.
Pip links arms with me as we head toward the rooms. So your mum still havin a real
hard time huh?
Yeah. Im real worried about her. I dont think shed keep going if it wasnt for
the baby... you know? And even then, shes hanging on by a thread.
Yeah, I know. Were all real worried bout her. She was always so strong and
without Prez... well... shes lost.
When we reach her room, we clear the way to my mothers bed so the men dont trip
over. Theres beer bottles, shoes and various pieces of clothing laying around and
the room reeks of stale cigarette smoke.
If you can keep her busy tomorrow, I might come in here tomorrow and give her room
a clean, Pip says as she looks around the trashed room.
Here we go, Carla. Safe in your room now, Towball says as he carries her in like a
baby and lays her on the bed.
I thought you were going to get someone to help you with her? I ask.
I did. I got Killer here to make sure I didnt bash her head on anything while I
carried her through, he replies, indicating the kid in the doorway. Hes only a
couple of years younger than me, but he looks green. Not a blemish, not a tattoo,
just wide eyes and good manners. He looks totally out of place here and because he
couldnt hurt a fly, we call him Killer because its funny.
Hes one of our latest prospects. He fell in love with the idea of being in a biker
gang after watching some TV show about American bikers. The other guys think hes
hilarious, so they love giving him shit about thinking being one of us was really
like that. Im not sure how long hell stick around, but hell be a good source of
entertainment til then anyway.
Bet you didnt think youd be helpin carry around drunk widows when you joined up
did ya? Towball laughs, scruffing the kid on the top of his blond head. Towball is
a good head and shoulders of height above Killer and makes the kid look more like a
twelve year old.
Thanks guys. I can take it from here, I say, leaning down to remove my mothers
shoes.
Do you want me to stay for a bit? Pip offers, raking her fingers through her dark
hair, her blue eyes drift over to Towball in some sort of silent conversation.
No. Its fine. You go and have fun while the partys still going. Ill be ok.
Towball leans over and kisses me on the head affectionately and Pip squeezes my
hand. They all head out, leaving me and my passed out mother alone.
Pulling a blanket over her body, I smooth her hair back from her face and get her a
Page 16

glass of water from the ensuite bathroom. I place it and two aspirin on the
nightstand and leave the lamp on so shell be able to see where she is when she
wakes up.
Im so sorry mum, I whisper, sitting on the side of the bed. Its my fault dads
gone. I know everyones saying that it isnt but the truth is, if I hadnt come back
here then none of this would have happened. Youd still have a husband. Banger would
still have a head. Mango wouldnt be scarred. And Cole... my breath hitches just
thinking about him. And Cole, well, hed still be here. Hed be happy fucking
randoms instead of waging a secret war on an enemy club. I wipe at my eyes and
shake my head. Id never speak like this to someone whod answer back. Im not a
huge feelings sharer, but with my mother passed out more and more often, I find its
the only time I actually speak my truth.
If I hadnt come back, youd all live on the way you were. Cora tells me that there
was a sadness while I was gone, but it cant have been worse than this. At least you
were functioning back then, now... well, look at you. Youre sober for long enough
to wake me from my nightmares and then your own sadness takes over...
I dont know what to do mum. I feel like so much pain has been caused by me, but
then I feel like so much more pain will be caused if I go. And where would I go? You
know? Cole wouldnt ever leave, so it would mean Id have to leave him and that
wouldnt work because hed come after me and plus I dont think I can live without
him anymore...I dont know...Im just... Im stuck. I dont know how to deal with
any of this stuff, and then theres the baby... how the hell am I supposed to be a
mum? I barely know how to take care of myself.
I let out a loaded breath, knowing that Im just rambling, but feeling like theres
so much weight on my shoulders that Im not equipped to deal with. Being the
Presidents wife means that people are looking to me as some sort of a leader. But I
dont feel capable, I just feel....responsible for everything.
Blinking my eyes rapidly, I wipe away the few tears of self pity that have fallen,
then lean down to kiss my mother on her forehead as she has her few moments of
peace, before she wakes again and is tortured by the endlessness of life without the
man she loves.
When I enter my room and prepare for bed, I lay down in my own lonely bed. There, I
let myself cry fully. I miss Cole so much. Thank god hes on his way home.
Chapter 5
Ive been in the States for nearly three months now, and as I leave, theres a trail
of dead bodies in my wake. My visit here was both tactical and vengeful. Being the
highest-ranking military expert out of the lot of us, I came to talk and organise
the Outlaw Rider retaliation on the Demon Brothers. This is a worldwide enterprise
that is going to take a lot of time and patience on our part. Its imperative that
each club understands that we cant take them out head on. We must be discreet. The
lives of our loved ones depend upon it.
Sitting in the back of a cab on my way to the airport, I discreetly take a look at
the pictures Maddies been sending through to me while Ive been gone. Some of them
are downright x-rated but the ones I look at the most are the ones she takes while
shes laying in bed of a morning. Her hairs laying out around her and her face
looks a little fuller from the pregnancy. Shes fuckin beautiful and I miss her
like Im missing a fuckin limb.
I know me being gone for so long has been hard on her and shes been amazing.
Theres been no yelling or anger when we get to talk. She just makes the most of the
time we have. Most chicks would be pissed that theyre on their own and pregnant
without their man, but she gets me. She gets that its been hard for me to talk to
her every day because Im missing her so much too. I couldnt be the man I needed to
be while I was here if I spoke to her every day. But she just kept sending me
pictures, sending me messages and just being there when I did call.
When I got here, I had her name tattooed on my ribs. Im not a religious man by any
means, but I like the idea that each man had a woman made specifically for him from
one of his ribs, so I put her name there to signify my belief that shes my soul
mate. Shit. Look at me getting all sappy. I adjust myself slightly in my seat, just
thinking about her is making my cock ache.
Looking out the window of the cab, I can see were nearing the airport and double
check that I have everything I need in my jacket pocket.
Page 17
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
Im dressed simply in a pair of jeans, a plain navy t-shirt, a leather jacket and a
pair of Nikes. I dont need to look like a biker while Im on the flight, especially
as I arrive back in Australia. The whole Anti-Biker Law debacle is likely to get me
detained when I go through Customs if I wear my patch. Its total bullshit, and just
another issue that bikers have to deal with. I dont understand what the
governments issue is. Im not saying that we dont do anything illegal, but we
certainly dont run around terrorising everyone we meet. I dont see the need for a
whole set of rules that pertain to bikers alone. Its absolutely fucked.
Once at the airport, I check in and pass through my security checks without a second
glance. The only attention I get is from a couple of women wanting me to say
something Australian to them, so they can giggle and flirt with me while I wait
for my flight with the newspaper and a cup of coffee. I smile politely and shake my
head.
Sorry ladies, all I want to do is get home to my wife.
I know she isnt my wife yet, but once Im home, thats exactly what I plan to do.
Im going to ask Maddie to marry me. I need to show her how important she is in my
life.
When Im finally settled into my seat and the plane takes off, I lean back in my
seat and close my eyes. I think this is the first time Ive actually let myself
sleep properly since I left home. Something about going back to her makes me feel at
peace and finding Cutter is the furthest thing from my mind.
Chapter 6
Get away from me, I yell, backing away, my hands held out in front of me in
defence. Cole will be here any moment and hell cut your fucking head off.
Cole dont scare me Princess. Whats he gonna do? Hes too far away to help you.
Hes too far away to even hear your screams.
No, I cry, stepping back from the blade that glints in the light as he comes for
me. I shriek as I back into something. A person. Spinning around I realise that its
someone I thought was dead. Viper, I gasp, my eyes going wide as I see the gaping
wound in his neck as he chuckles and it spurts blood into my face.
Sweet dreams, princess, he growls, just as a slicing pain shoots through my
kidneys as the knife enters my side and I howl with the pain.
Viper laughs as he spins me around to face Cutter as he holds up the blood stained
blade. You have taken everything from us, bitch. Its time we took everything from
you.
His eyes drop to my stomach as an evil grin spreads across his face. No! I scream
as he plunges the blade into my belly.
My eyes fly open as a searing pain rips through my belly and I let out a guttural
moan.
Oh god. Im awake and the pains continuing.
Pulling the blankets off my body, I flick on the bedside lamp and see the one thing
that scared the living shit out of me. Red. Between my legs. Red.
MUM! I scream, just as a second pain courses through me.
Fuck! Towball roars as doors to the ambulance close and Im driven away. He stands
there with my mother, Pip and everyone else in the compound who was alerted by my
screams.
Hows the baby? Is she alright? Please tell me shes ok, I beg the ambo. Hes a
young guy with tan skin, short dusty brown hair and green eyes.
He looks at me with small smile. I can hear her heart beat, but I cant tell whats
going on until we can get some tests done, ok? Youre losing a lot of blood, so Im
going to give you an injection to try and slow down everything thats happening,
ok?
I nod my head, blinking rapidly as tears keep filling my eyes. Wheres my mum? I
ask, realising she didnt get in with me.
Shell be following behind with your man and the rest of your family.
No. Hes not here. Hes on a plane. Oh god. I need Cole. I need Cole! I cry out,
as he swabs my arms and I feel a sting and then some pressure at the injection
point.
Im sure hell be there. Just relax ok? he coos, and before I know it, Im
unconscious.
Page 18
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
Beeping. Thats all I can hear. Beeping.
Slowly, the fog in my mind clears and I hear quiet voices. My eyes open, just for
long enough to see him and burst into tears.
Cole! I manage through my tears.
He rushes to my side and takes my hand as he leans down and kisses my forehead over
and over again. Oh baby, Im so sorry. Im so so sorry.
Whats, whats wrong? Is the baby ok? Oh god, no, I moan, noticing that my stomach
isnt nearly as big as it used to be. Please no.
Cole slides his arms around me and buries his face in my hair. Shes ok, baby,
shes ok, he whispers hoarsely as he sits back and meets my eyes, wiping away his
own tears as he does. Shes in the nursery with Pip and your mum. Shes a fighter,
baby. Your mum said she came out screamin her head off. You did good. It was you we
were worried about. Youve been out for two days, baby. You lost a lot of blood
and... they had to... he closes his eyes for a moment and brings my hands together
in his before taking a deep breath and meeting my eyes again. You wont be havin
any more kids baby. They had to take your uterus to stop the bleedin.
I feel like someone just dropped a load of bricks on my chest and forced the air out
of me as I shake my head, no.
Leaning forward, he presses his forehead against mine. I know baby. I know. Im
sorry. Im so, so sorry.
How... how did this happen? I whisper.
He sits back and explains to me that the placenta ruptured, causing mass
haemorrhaging which meant that our baby girl had to be born right away via an
emergency c-section. When they had saved the baby, they still couldnt stop the
bleeding and to save my life, they were forced to give me a complete hysterectomy.
At twenty years old, I no longer have the ability to bear children.
Well, I guess it was a miracle that I got pregnant in the first place...right? I
whisper in response as he leans forward and wipes my tears.dpg
Doesnt make it hurt less though baby. He wraps his arms around me and rocks me as
I let loose and cry against his chest. Finding out I could have kids gave me hope of
having a big family of our own. I wanted a whole bunch of kids that I could give a
good life to, minus all the shit both Cole and I had to go through. I wanted to give
him a son... Now that hope is gone.
I sit back and wipe my eyes. Have you named her? Can I see her?
Of course you can see her. And weve been callin her Zia cause I reckon you get
your choice after what you went through, baby.
I take his hand. I want to call her Zia-Rose. I want us both to have our way.
He smiles and presses his lips to my forehead. I like that name a lot. Zia-Rose it
is.
After the doctor comes in to check me over, Im allowed to have Zia-Rose brought to
me so I can finally meet her. Im so upset that its been two days since her birth
and Im yet to meet her and I worry that she wont realise that Im her mother.
The midwives urge me to try and breastfeed her so it helps her to bond with me, so
with a bit of help from everyone around, Im handed this snuffly little bundle of
pink skin and noise that attaches herself to my breast and is sucking strong.
I smile, struggling to see her through my tears. Shes just perfect. Just look at
her. She has her daddys dark hair and long fingers. Shes perfect.
She is, isnt she, Cole smiles, running his ringed fingers over her soft baby
hair.
My mother stands by and takes photos with her phone. The transformation in her is
amazing. Shes sober and dressed nicely with her hair and makeup done. I havent
seen her like this for months. It makes me really happy to see her this way.
Im so glad you woke up Maddie. We were so scared you werent gonna pull through,
she says, walking over to give me a gentle hug. And youre little girl is an angel
baby. Shes been sleepin and feedin right. Shes really something so much like
you were as a baby Mads, she tells me, smiling as she looks at my daughter and
remembers.
A few more photos are snapped and Cole and I pose together with our beautiful
daughter. After everything thats happened over the last year, this feels like one
of these rare moments of pure happiness.
Hope blossoms in my chest. My man is home, our baby is born. We could be happy just
Page 19
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
as we are now...
But then Zia-Rose stops suckling and Im instructed to change sides. A sharp pain
shoots through my abdomen from my surgery and I wince. Many hands fly forward to
make sure the baby is safe. Shes fine. I never let go. I hold her against me and
focus on her, but even her beauty cant stop the memory of the nightmare that woke
me the night she was born.
As she latches on to the other side, I breathe through the pain in my guts, nodding
when Im asked if Im ok.
In this moment, I know. I know without a doubt. The nightmares wont stop until I
know without a doubt that Cutter is dead, and even then, Im not so sure...
Chapter 7
Shes awake. Thank fucking god. When I got off the plane, I was met by Towball and
Pip. They rushed me straight to the hospital and filled me in on as much as they
knew at the time. Maddie was in surgery. She was bleeding profusely and no one knew
if she or the baby was ok.
By the time we reached the hospital, Zia-Rose was already born but Maddie was still
fighting for her life. Because we arent married, no one would fucking talk to me
about her. Theyd only talk to her mother. Thank fuck she was there and could act as
the go between with the fucking hospital bureaucracy. It just cements even further
in my mind that I need to marry my woman. No one should be making any fucking
decisions about her well being except for fucking me and me alone.
I spent two fucking days, refusing to move from her beside, crying like a fucking
baby myself that she wouldnt wake up. I was scared shitless that I just wasted all
the time we would have had with each other because I couldnt wait til Zia-Rose was
born before I went after fucking Cutter. I was too busy plotting and killing to be
with the woman I love.
Well, no more. Im going to send others out to do all the groundwork and meetings
from now on. Im not leaving my woman until I know exactly where that bastard is,
then Im going to have him brought to me so I can kill him, and come back home to my
family that same night, content in knowing that my blood doesnt exist in anything
evil anymore.
As I look at my woman, nursing my daughter like she was born to be a mother, my
heart aches for the loss of her ability to have anymore. But even more, it aches
because Ive never felt this much love for another human before.
Marry me, Maddie, I say suddenly, causing Pip, whod been sitting quietly in the
corner to gasp.
What? she asks, seemingly taken by surprise by my sudden question.
Fuckin marry me, baby. I want us to be a proper family. Same name rings, the
whole fuckin institution. I want to do it with you baby. I want us to be forever.
A smile spreads over her face. Are you sure, I mean, this isnt just a reaction to
me almost dying is it?
I touch her check lightly and kneel in front of her. In my pocket, I have the ring.
Ive been preparing for this for weeks now. Pulling it out, I show it to her.
Baby, youre my soul mate and I love you more than I love myself. Marry me baby, I
say solemnly.
Pulling her lip between her teeth she glances from me to the ring and then nods,
bursting into tears all over again as she says yes, over and over again.
Thank Christ you said yes, cause otherwise Id ave gotten this for nothin I
say, standing up and lifting my shirt to show her the tattoo of her name on my ribs.
She smiles and reaches out a hand to run her fingertips over it. Now we match, she
smiles, nodding to my name in the Old Lady tattoo on her forearm.
Yeah baby, we always did.
Eventually Maddie gets real tired and needs to rest, so we help her back in bed and
Carla and me take turns holding Zia-Rose to keep her quiet and peaceful while Mads
tries to rest.
Pip goes back to the compound for a shower and to give everyone an update on
Maddies health status. Theyre all fuckin worried about her and they havent even
laid eyes on me since Ive been back. Im lucky to have such an understanding club.
Im pacing the room, holding little Zia-Rose against my chest as I do this bouncing
thing that seems to come naturally while I rub her back. I think shes passed out of
Page 20
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
my shoulder but I just keep going. It gives me something to do.
As I turn to pace facing the door, I see Towball and Mango standing there looking
like they really need to talk to me.
Whats up? I ask in a low voice so I dont disturb either of my girls.
Congratulations on the baby, man. Hows Mads doin? Mango asks, rubbing his hands
together as if theyre damp with sweat.
I eye him suspiciously. Whats going on?
They look at each other for a moment and Carla walks up beside me and offers to take
the baby. How about you do this in the hall? she suggests.
Reluctantly, I hand her my daughter and follow the boys into the hall. Whats going
on? I repeat.
Weve got a lead on some local Demon Brothers. We wanna know if you want us to
question them about Cutter, they whisper.
I shake my head. If you question them, youll have to get rid of them. He cant
know were on his trail.
So what do we do?
I shake my head, knowing that now isnt the time for me to be going out there and
doing my fuckin ghost routine. Send a couple of guys to watch them no patches.
No bikes. Cars only. When they have something solid, well work out what to do
next.
So what? Were just going to let them live? Mango asks, looking irritated.
I point my finger at his chest. I gave you a set of fuckin instructions. Follow
them. If they have any idea that were the fuckin puppet masters behind all the
shit thats been happenin to their club, then wed be in for a war far bigger then
the fuckin attack that burnt you mate. Theyve got a fuckload more fire power than
we do. Weve gotta be smart to win. You feel me man?
He goes to say something but pauses as someone rounds the corner, waiting until
theyve moved out of earshot to talk again. What happens if we watch them and
theyve got nothin to do with Cutter?
Then we work out a way to deal with them quietly.
Towball puts his hand on Mangos shoulder. Come on, brother, weve got work to do.
He turns to me. Ill call you with an update if we find anything. I nod my head
and watch the two men walk away. Take care of your girls. Everyones waiting to
meet them when they get home, he calls out as they both walk toward the lift bay.
I cant help but wonder if Mangos own want for revenge is going to be a problem for
me. Ill need to make sure Towball keeps a close eye on him when Im not around.
Cole? Carla calls from the doorway of Maddies room. *I jerk my head around
quickly and see that shes standing there with a group of three doctors and one
nurse. Maddie needs you right now.
Whats wrong? I ask, noting the demeanour of everyone in the room as I re-enter
not one of them looks relieved or happy. Something bad is happening. Tell me, I
say, looking to each of them.
Come and sit, Cole. Theres something I need to tell you, Maddie says with watery
eyes.
Chapter 8
After spending two weeks in the hospital recovering, Im finally allowed to go home
to Coles and my house, not the compound.
As much as I love the club and the people in it, Im still quite achy and I just
really want to be in the comfort of my own home, especially when Ive barely been
there in the last three months. I want to be alone with my baby and my man my
fianc. How funny is that? I never really thought Cole would be the kind of guy who
would actually want to get married, but now hes gone and asked me and of course I
said yes. There isnt another man in this world that Id ever consider being with.
Cole drives us back from the hospital while I sit in the backseat with Zia-Rose,
gently brushing my fingers over her dark hair to help keep her calm. Shes a little
frightened by the car ride and I wonder if maybe shes such a biker brat that shes
prefer to be in the sidecar of a bike.
Looks like weve got a welcome home party going on, Cole says to me as we pull
into the driveway.
Theres balloons touting the arrival of a new baby girl in the world, decorating the
front of the house, and a sign that welcomes us both home.
Page 21
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
Did you know about this? I ask, not feeling sure that I have the energy for this.
Baby, I promise you, I had no idea. Maybe it was your mum, or Pip. It may even have
been Cora; shes been ringing up to check on you a lot. Do you want me to send them
away? I can go in there and yell at them all to fuck off.
I laugh at his protectiveness. Its ok. If I get tired, Ill just go to bed. Its
wont be the first party Ive needed to sleep through.
He reaches his arm between the seats and gently touches my face. Youre beautiful
you know.
I lay my hand over his and lean my head into his hand. Youre pretty gorgeous
yourself.
We lock eyes for a moment, the air charged between us, just like it always has been.
But our moment doesnt last long. A knock on the window alerts us to a group of
smiling faces all ready to meet the latest addition to the Outlaw Riders.
Welcome home! they all seem to chorus at the same time as I get out of the car.
Cole reaches in to remove Zia-Roses car capsule and holds her protectively in front
of him as lots of happy faces lean down to smile and coo at her.
Shes a beautiful girl, Cora says to me, linking her arm with mine so I can lean
against her. Looks like her daddys going to be very protective of her. She nods
her head towards Cole, whos trying to get everyone to back off a little so he can
get through the door. He throws a look over his shoulder at me and I can tell that
hes torn between carrying the baby and helping me.
I wave to him and mouth that Im fine, but he finds my mother and hands Zia-Rose
over to her then rushes back to me and lifts me up, carrying me up the front steps
and into the lounge room where he settles me on a comfy chair.
With his hands either side of my face, he looks into my eyes. Do you need
anything? he asks. Anything at all.
I smile and grip his wrists, giving him a gentle squeeze. Im pretty sure hes
asking me to tell him to make everyone go home. Just a glass of water and my pills
would be great, I whisper to him.
Nodding, he stands, leaning down again to kiss me on the forehead before he goes
over to where my bags have been brought in and finds my medication, disappearing
into the kitchen where he gets me a glass of water.
Meanwhile, Im welcomed home, left, right and centre. I have my health enquired
after, to which I say Im fine, just tired. And they also ask lots of questions
about whether Zia-Rose is being a good baby. I wonder what constitutes a bad
baby as I cant imagine a newborn purposefully doing mean things to anyone.
Cole returns and sits down beside me, handing me my water and pills. He places an
arm protectively around me and accepts our MC familys heartfelt congratulations
over the birth of our daughter.
I dont hear much of whats going on. Im really very tired and all of the noise is
blurring into one indecipherable tone. I look out across the room and see my mother
holding Zia-Rose as she feeds her a bottle now that Im unable to breastfeed due to
the medication Im now on.
I smile, loving that my mother isnt drowning in a bottle anymore. Shes become
strong again. I see in her now, the queen she always was. She notices me watching
her and excuses herself from those around her admiring the baby and walk toward me.
Cole leans into my ear. Ill be right back. Gotta talk business for a couple of
minutes. I wont be long.
I look up at him and nod. He leaves me reluctantly, holding into my hand until he
absolutely has to let go.
You want to feed her? my mum asks as she approaches.
Nodding, I hold out my arms and my mother places my daughter carefully on my lap,
hold the bottle until Ive arranged myself and can hold it comfortably.
Stepping back, my mother touches me on the top of my head, running her hand down my
hair as she smiles softly and watches me feed Zia-Rose.
Three generations, Cora says, coming over with her phone at the ready and snapping
a picture of us all together. My mum leans in and smiles for another shot and Cora
examines it on her screen. Beautiful.
When Cole finally returns, he doesnt look very happy.
Baby, Im so sorry. I hate that I have to do this but Mangos gone and got himself
in some trouble. I have to go and help him.
Its ok. Ill be fine. Mums staying with me and theres plenty of people here to
help if we need it, I smile, trying to get him to quit acting like Im going to
Page 22
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
drop dead any second.
Ok, he says, leaning down to kiss me. Im only goin cause I have to. Id prefer
to be here with you.
I know. Just go. The sooner you go, the sooner youre back.
He nods, kisses me and leaves me.
Thats the last I see of him for over a month.
Chapter 9
When I got pulled out of the welcome home party, it was because Mango had gone and
gotten himself in trouble. He had decided to go and see what was happening with the
surveillance team that was on the Demon Brothers weve been watching.
I get that the guy wants revenge. I mean, we all do. But this whole operation takes
very precise and careful planning. You cant just waltz into a place and start
switching on the gas stove without knowing exactly where your targets are and how
long you have which is exactly what Mango got caught doing.
Knowing I was his best bet at survival, I got on my bike, breaking every speed law
in existence, praying that a cop didnt start chasing me, just so I had a chance of
getting him back alive.
I didnt have much time to plan; I just get to the house, park my bike next to
theirs and knock on the door, my guns at the ready.
Some guy with missing teeth and a long black beard answers by opening the door with
the chain still on. He recognises me straight away and yells out to the others.
OUTLAWS!
I pull my knee high and thump my foot against the door, throwing my weight against
it and busting the chain.
It flies open and I take aim with both guns, shooting the guy who answered and the
one who came running with his gun ready and firing blindly in my direction.
Im a crack shot and they both drop, dead on the ground. But I dont have long. Guns
arent common in Australia and someone will report hearing the shots - the cops will
be there any minute.
Fuck off Outlaw! one of the men screams from the back room.
I just want my man back, I call to him, hugging the wall as I move toward his
voice.
The moment I peek around the corner, he fires a shot, hitting the doorframe right
near my head.
Did you send this cunt in here Outlaw? Youre fuckin askin for a shitfight by
doin this to us. Now fuck off, or Ill shoot him.
Youre gonna shoot him anyway, I reply, as I spin into the doorway and let off two
shots before disappearing back to safety on the opposite side of the door.
I listen for a moment, hearing the faint sound of sirens in the distance. Shit, I
think, realising that I also just heard a back door slam. One of them is getting
away. Fuck!
Chancing a glance around the doorframe, I see Mango tied to a chair, his shirt is
off and his still raw skin is bleeding profusely and purple from bruising.
With my gun ready, I run for the back door. A shot fires back at me as I see the guy
from the kitchen disappearing around the side of the house.
Mango, growls through his gag and shakes his chair, wanting me to let him out, but I
cant. I need to get that Demon before he escapes and tells anyone he saw us.
I run through the house, jumping over the two dead bodies on my way to the front
door and burst out at top speed, running to the street as the fucker motors off on a
bike. I stand out in the fucking open, letting off a good five rounds as he swerves
the bike from side to side to evade me. Suddenly, the wheel hitches and the bike
flips, throwing him onto the road about a hundred metres away from me.
Sprinting as fast as I can, I go after him. I need to make sure hes dead.
Standing over him, I dont even bother checking for a pulse I just let off two
shots in his head and then bolt the other way, hearing the fucking sirens getting
even closer.
Moving with pure adrenalin for energy, I run back to Mango and slice the ropes that
are holding him. When I get in front of him, one of his eyes is swollen shut and his
lip is split and bleeds when I rip the gaff tape off his mouth and stick it to my
pants I cant risk leaving his DNA here.
Fuck, he moans, his hand reaching up to his mouth.
Page 23
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
You fuckin moron, I grumble. Weve gotta go NOW.
Thinking fast, I lean over one of the dead guys and remove his cut. Get the other
one and put it on. The Outlaw Riders are going down for your fuck up understand?
I command. Mango complies, wincing as the leather touches his tender skin.
I chuck the keys for one of the dead mens bikes to him as I put the cut on myself
and run outside to the bikes.
Fuck, I growl, knowing the cops will be here any second.
Using both hands, I rip the license plates off the last Demon Brothers bike and use
the gaff tape to stick them over mine.
Lets go! I yell, getting on my bike and starting her up, wedging my helmet on my
head as my heart thuds violently in my chest.
The cops round the corner and I can see their flashing lights in my mirrors as we
make it to the opposite end of the street and take off around the corner.
I speed up, glancing at Mango as he does the same. We head for the freeway, knowing
that theres no way a car can keep up with a bike on there.
Weaving in and out of the traffic, the cops get further and further behind and we
take the next exit, taking the emergency lane to avoid any traffic problems.
Unable to see any more lights, or hear sirens, I signal to Mango to pull in at the
next service station.
We pull into the water and air area and keep our heads down and our helmets on,
knowing theres cameras around picking up our every move. I open my saddle pack and
pull out a shirt and hand it to Mango.
Get rid of the cut and put this on.
He does as I say, his blood darkening the grey colour of the long sleeved shirt
immediately. Taking the cut from his hands, I remove the one Im wearing as well and
walk over to the bike Mango was riding, open the petrol tank and tip the bike over,
allowing the petrol to leak out over the cuts.
What the fuck are you doing? Mango hisses, being careful not to yell and attract
any extra attention.
Get on my bike, I command.
No way. I am not riding on the back of your bike like a fucking bitch.
Get on Mango, or so help me god I will put a bullet in your head myself.
Youre a fucking psycho, mate, he says, backing down and moving over to my ride.
Yeah, Im a fucking psycho who just saved your arse. I get on the bike with him
behind me, then light a match, throwing it on to the ground to ignite the leaking
fuel and burn away any blood, sweat or fingerprints that could tie us to the
shootings.
Shit man, the cops are gonna send a fuckin chopper for us after this, Mango yells
after me as I take off down the street.
I keep my focus, weaving through the traffic as fast as is humanly possible until I
once again make it to the highway and head to a safe house.
After travelling for an hour without any cops stopping us, I pull over to the side
of the road and remove the fake plates, stuffing them into my saddlebags to dispose
of later Ill likely burn them too. Its the easiest and fastest way to get rid of
things.
I also make a phone call. I know its not the best idea, because if that cops have
worked out we were there. Theyll trace me to this location. But I need Maddie to
know that I didnt run off on her.
It rings and rings and rings, and Im about to give up when Carla answers instead of
Maddie. Cole? she asks quietly.
Yeah, Carla. Is Maddie ok?
Yes, shes sleeping. Do you need me to wake her?
I close my eyes and press my thumb and index finger against them. No. Just... just
tell her I love her and give my little girl a kiss for me. Weve gotten in to some
trouble Carla. I dont know when Im going to be able to come back.
She lets out a long, sad breath. I think I should wake her so you can tell her this
yourself.
Please Carla. Just tell her. I fuckin hate this, but Ive gotta lay low. Ill call
as soon as I can and be back as soon as the coast is clear.
Should we be scared Cole?
No. Its just about me. I might have been seen. Ill take care of everything though
Carla. Please... just look after my girls.

Chapter 10
When the news reports a shoot out involving bikers, I know that thats the reason
Cole hasnt been able to come home.
Eyewitnesses saw a man shoot another down in the middle of a public street, before
taking off on a Harley. They got snapshots and film on their phones, but theyre all
from a distance and besides a blurry profile shot of Mango turning back on the bike
he was riding, they covered their tracks and made it look like Demon Brother
infighting, so they seem to be in the clear.
Our problem is that Cole had to go after Mango so fast that its possible he was
picked up somewhere on some sort of camera along the way, or that there was some
sort of evidence left at the scene.
He needs to lay low and have our guys keep a look out for anyone who may come
looking for him.
Thats why hes not back. Thats why, Im once again, living on the compound with my
mother and a newborn baby. Hating that I cant just have a small amount of joy. I
wanted to spend some time in my own house, with my baby and her father. I wanted us
to be together as a family for as long as we could.
I dont want this anymore. This life... its destroying us all.
I remember coming here and thinking that I couldnt stay because ultimately, Id be
switching out one shit life for another. Although, I decided to stay because here, I
found love and I found family. I just dont know if thats enough. Is this really
the life I want my daughter to grow up in? Are these the people I want to teach her
values and a moral code? Do I want her to become like me, or like Cole? Is this life
good enough for a child?
And Cole... Im torn. On the rare occasions that I see him, Im so filled with love
for him that I just want to spend every moment by his side. But then, hes called
away to continue this war that I instigated and I feel like hes slipping away.
The news showed a far away video of the man running after a bike and shooting. He
then walked over to the fallen biker and shot him twice in the head. It was such a
blur and the person filming was shaking. You cant make out who the shooter is, but
I know its Cole.
He kills out of retribution and necessity like an angel of justice, wrapped in
leather, riding a steel horse. Its who he is, and who hell always be.
But, I find myself feeling glad that he killed them and thats when I start to cry.
Thats what I find the most confronting.
How low have I sunk in this world that Im happy for the man I love to kill a man
Ive never met, just because hes linked to the man who hurt me.
Weve all sunk so low. Im scared that if we keep going, we wont ever be able to
climb our way back out of this pit of blood weve created for ourselves.
Chapter 11
Here, use this, Towball says, handing me a pair of clippers.
I look from them to him. You think this is necessary? That police sketch hardly
even looked like me man, I retort, not really wanting to shave my hair off. Ive
already grown my facial hair to hide my face to be safe, but... I dont know. I
dont particularly want to look like a skinhead.
I wouldnt fuckin hand it to you if it was just for fuckin fun. And this aint
about those sketches man, they look nothin like you. As far as I can tell, theres
no heat on us Riders at all. But, I got some information that we need to check out -
I know where fuckin Cutter is. Were goin to get him and we dont want them
spottin you.
What? Where the fuck is he?
Killers fuckin home town. He was home visiting his family for his dads birthday
and he saw some guys in Demon gear. Took a photo and sent it through. He flicks
through the messages on his phone and shows me.
Taking it from him, I flick two fingers over the screen to zoom into the photo and
look at all the faces clustered about. Cutter is definitely one of them, although,
so is my mother. Thats their chapter president as well, I say, zooming in on an
angry looking man to Cutters left.
Sure is. We hit there, we can cripple them, he says.
I shake my head. Shit man, Ive gotta get back to Maddie and the baby. Ive been
Page 25
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
gone almost a month already.
Mate, Towball says, putting his hand on my shoulder. Youre doing this for Maddie
and the baby.
Come on, Cole, Mango says from behind me. We have to do this. We cant know where
he is and let him go. Youre woman and kid are still gonna be there when you get
home. Are you the president or are you fuckin pussy whipped?
I turn around in a snap, reach out and grab Mango by the throat. Dont you EVER,
talk about my Old Lady like that. Do you understand me? I growl into his face.
Mango nods rapidly, a little shocked that I reacted the way I did. Towball lays a
hand on my shoulder and tells me to calm down, but I shrug him off and push Mango
away from me. None of them know anything about whats going on with Maddie. She
doesnt want anyone to know, but Im struggling with being loyal to her and loyal to
the club because right now, Im feeling like I cant do both. Something is going to
have to give.
She has nightmares, Cole. Every night, I hear her scream out because she dreams of
him attacking her. We need to do this.
I nod. Just... just let me go and see her for one night. I just need one night with
her and then Ill go to the ends of the earth to get rid of him.
Towball nods. Alright, well go ahead and do some recon. Dont stay for more than
one night Cole, otherwise Im getting my rifle and Im sniping the bloody lot of
them. The club needs this over.
I get it man. I just need a night. Text me your location and Ill be there in the
morning.
I hand him back the clippers, telling him Ill sort it out at home, then get on my
bike and ride until Im back at the compound. Just needing to see her. I need to
make sure shes ok.
Its night when I get back, so I flick my lights to let whoevers on the gate know
to open up for me.
Cole? the prospect asks from the other side.
Yeah kid, open up for me, I say, riding through the moment the gate is wide enough
to fit my Harley through.
I pull up in front of the clubhouse and nod at the few people who are outside,
looking at me quizzically. I guess they werent expecting me back yet.
Cole! Monique calls as she runs up to me. Wheres Mango? Whats happening?
Hes on a job. Ill be meetin him tomorrow ok? Hes fine.
She goes to say something else but I just keep moving. My single aim is to go and
find my Old Lady and spend one night with her and our baby.
Cole, Monique calls after me again, her voice a little more urgent this time.
I turn around and glare at her, annoyed that shes taking away my limited time.
Shes not well, is she? she asks, her eyes moving toward the clubhouse where Im
headed to find Maddie.
I shake my head, and drop my eyes to the ground.
Will she get better?
Reaching my hand up, I scratch the back of my head. I need to go and see her, I
say, avoiding the question.
She just nods her understanding as I turn around and head straight for our room.
Youre back, Maddie smiles the moment I step through the door. Shes sitting on
the bed watching a movie in the dark.
Yeah baby, I couldnt stay away any longer, I kick of my boots and my jacket and
lay down next to her on the bed.
Grinning, she rolls over to face me and I take her mouth in mine. I slide my fingers
into her hair and kiss her deeply, humming my pleasure as she whimpers happily into
my mouth.
Fuck, Ive missed you. Its been months since we were alone in a room long enough
to do that.
Its been months since weve been able to do a lot of things, she smiles, pressing
her lips against mine again.
Wheres Zia-Rose? I ask, noticing that her crib isnt in our room.
Mums been taking her overnight so I can rest, she tells me.
I run my fingers through her beautiful long hair. And how are you feelin? Ive
been worried about you every minute of every day. Im so sorry I got mixed up in
that shit.
Page 26
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
Im fine. I had my check ups the other day. Im all healed and Im feeling stronger
every day.
And how about the other thing? I ask her, my eyes drifting to the pills on the
bedside table.
I told you, Im feeling stronger. Im getting better every day, she says, pressing
her lips together as she reaches a hand up and runs her fingers down the full beard
thats grown on my face. I like this, she whispers, pressing her lips to the
corner of my mouth.
Instantly, I want her, but Im not sure if its a good idea. Her hand slides down my
torso and she grabs my cock through my pants and begins to rub.
Cole, she whispers, sliding up against me.
Oh baby, this isnt why Im here. Are you sure this is a good idea?
Im positive. I want you Cole. Its been months. I dont want to wait anymore.
But what about your... She cuts me off with her mouth on mine as she uses her hand
to work my belt and pants open, slipping her hand inside and grabbing my shaft.
Shhhh, just make love to your fiance, she whispers.
I grab a hold of her waist and roll her onto her back. Her hand comes out of my
pants and pulls my shirt up over my head. Holding myself above her, I take my weight
on my arms and dip my head to take her mouth with mine, kissing her slowly. I only
have one night with her, so I want to take my time.
Her fingers slide up my back and down over my torso, as she releases these little
mewing sounds from her throat.
Fuck, baby. Do you feel how hard I am for you, I say, rubbing my cock against the
soft skin of her thigh.
You should feel how wet I am for you, she responds, rocking her hips up off the
bed.
Kissing my way down her body, I lift her nightgown up and over her head, dropping it
on the ground beside the bed. I take her nipple in my mouth and draw it in,,
swirling my tongue around the hard peak.
She gasps and arches her back and I continue my way down, kissing her softly as I
reach the still pink scar on her belly. Hooking my fingers in her panties, I slide
them down her legs then guide her thighs apart so I can look at her delicious
wetness.
God, just look at that gorgeous cunt of yours. Its fuckin pourin. I lean
forward and run my tongue from the very base of her slit right up to the top over
her clit. You taste like heaven, baby. Fuck Ive missed this.
Get inside me Cole, she murmurs, squirming beneath me.
I need you to cum in my mouth baby, I reply, slipping two fingers into her hole
and pumping them back and forth.
More Cole, I need more, she moans. So I add another finger, leaning down to suck
on her rock hard nub. Shes fucking sweet as nectar as I suck her juices into my
mouth.
More, she calls, grinding her hips into my face.
I groan, loving how hot she is in bed. Fuck Ive missed this. How the hell am I
going to leave in the morning with this tight fucking slice of heaven lying next to
me all night?
Pushing half my hand inside her, I suck back harder on her clit, swirling my tongue
and rubbing against her with my teeth. She gasps, pushing her hips up again. I
almost blow as my hand slides fully inside her, all the way up to my wrist.
I groan into her pussy, twisting and turning my hand as I knead her insides.
Suddenly, she bucks beneath me, and her fingers curl into my hair, pulling at it as
she calls out and pulls my head against her.
I can hardly breathe, but I fucking love it and work my way back up her body, slowly
sliding my hand out of her bit by bit, pulsing gently to keep her orgasm going.
As my head becomes level with her face, she pulls me against her and crashes her
mouth against mine, sharing in the juices Ive just drunk from her as she slips her
tongue into my mouth.
While our mouths are linked, I wriggle out of my pants and kick them onto the ground
before settling myself between her legs and slide myself inside of the warm wet
tunnel that grips me like a fucking vice.
She squeezes her muscles around me as I glide in and out, struggling not to blow
straight away. I want to enjoy being with her for as long as I can last, which I
doubt is going to be very long.
Page 27
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
I love you Cole, she whispers in my ear, as I kiss her neck and suck gently on her
skin.
I love you too baby. I love you so fuckin much.
I hold myself above her, driving in and out of her slowly, our eyes locked and our
breathing ragged.
I cant hold on any longer, baby. You feel too fuckin good, I moan, watching as
her eyes loose focus and she gasps out her release beneath me. I can feel her pussy
pulsing around my cock and I let go, spilling myself inside her.
I roll off her, dragging her over with me so shes lying over my chest and Im
running my fingers up and down her back.
How long are you back for? she asks, her voice barely audible as she traces the
writing of her name on my ribs.
til morning. Towball and Mango are still out there. I need to help them.
Did you find him? she asks, lifting her head to look at me when I answer.
I nod. We think so, yeah.
She doesnt say anything for a while as her eyes move between mine.
Will you do me a favour?
Anything, I reply without needing to think about it.
If you dont get him this time, just...let him go.
My brow knits together tightly as I cup her chin in my hand. Im going to get him.
Hes not getting away this time.
She nods. Just promise me. Please?
I let out a deep breath. I cant do that baby. I cant let him go.
Cole, weve already lost so much time because of him. Please, lets not lose
anymore. Her voice cracks with emotion as she finishes her sentence and its like a
fucking stab in my chest. I place my hands on either side of her face and bring my
mouth to hers, kissing her long and softly before pressing my forehead to hers and
nodding against her.
Alright, baby. Ill do anything you want.
Chapter 12
Daddy, I whisper, gently sliding my fingers into the back of Coles hair. Hes
fast asleep on his stomach at five oclock in the morning, but our daughter is awake
and I think they should spend whatever time they can together.
He stirs awake and peeks one of his gorgeous sea-blue eyes up at me. What time is
it?
Time to play with your baby girl, I reply with a smile. His eye moves to Zia-Rose
where shes nestled in my arms and he breaks in the a broad grin as he rolls over
and sits up to see her.
Look how big she is, he whispers, smiling down at her. I pass her over and take a
seat on the bed next to them, glad to be spending a quiet moment alone as a family.
I can almost forget that hell be leaving us again soon...almost.
He lies on his back with his knees bent and rests our daughter so shes sitting
against his thighs. She smiles a gummy smile at him. Shes dressed head to toe in
pink and white which is a bit of a contrast to everything that is biker in her
world. Surprisingly, most of the pink clothes were gifts from members of the club
when we came home from hospital.
Shes so strong, I comment, watching her as she grips onto Coles fingers and
tries to pull herself up. Shes been trying to roll lately.
Shes just gorgeous, he says, touching her lightly as he smiles at our perfect
little creation. He looks over at me, his eyes growing very serious for a moment.
You know I dont wanna leave you, right? I promised to look after you Maddie. I
know Im fuckin up as a dad. Ive missed so much already. But Im gonna finish this
baby. Im gonna finish this and get back to your side.
I reach up and touch his face, running my fingers over his new beard and through his
hair. Hes so beautiful to me, but at the same time I feel so sad. I cant help but
notice that he didnt promise to never leave again. And how can he? Hes the
president of the club and theres always going to be something going on that needs
his attention.
When the Demon Brothers are all dead, some other club will probably come along and
take their place as our enemy and then well be right back here again, hiding out in
a biker compound because it isnt safe enough to be in a house on our own in case we
Page 28
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
get ambushed.
When does it end?
I lean toward him and press my lips against his and whisper that I love him. I know
youre doing your best babe. But you do what youve got to do. As much as I want you
with me and Zia-Rose, I know you have a job to do. This club needs you Cole. No one
else is as strong as you. I know that. This club knows that. Thats why youre
thirty-two and the president. You can lead this club and find a way to make it
great. You were made for this role, I tell him, understanding that he is and always
will be a club man first and foremost. Hes a leader. Hes a warrior. He isnt a
family man...
A sadness settles over me as I watch Cole play with our daughter, knowing that this
is will be the rest of our life together. Me at home with the baby and Cole always
working and wishing he could be home. Hes torn between his love for Zia-Rose and
me, and his dedication to the club. With my recent health issues, I think hes
feeling even more torn. Theres no way hed ever leave a couple of guys out on a job
to spend a night with me before this. This is hard. This life is hard.
We spend a good couple of hours talking and playing with our daughter and when the
sun comes up, my mother knocks on the door and offers to give Zia-Rose her bottle
and change so Cole and I can spend a little more time together.
Oh baby, he says, turning to me and running his fingers through my hair. I hate
leavin you.
I know, I cry, wrapping my arms around his neck. I just feel so sad without you
Cole. So sad.
Jesus baby, dont make this fuckin harder than it is.
Im trying not to. I just miss you.
He sits up and pulls me onto his lap, wrapping his strong arms around me as he holds
me against his chest. Im sorry baby. Im sorry. You know Ive gotta do this.
I do know. I do, I whisper and rock against him. Do we have some time? I ask,
bringing my lips to his.
He moans as I feel his cock harden beneath me. Fuck baby, are you sure you can do
this again?
You make me feel good. I want you one more time, Cole. I ache when I cant have you
inside me.
Jesus fuckin Christ, how am I supposed to leave after having your gorgeous pussy
over my cock again?
With hot as fuck memories, I grin, standing up over him, sliding off my panties
and removing my nightgown as he wriggles out of his boxers.
I look down at his huge, throbbing cock and take it in my hand as I lower myself
down to take it inside me. I gasp out as he fills my depths, breathing in deeply to
inhale his scent.
Everything we do needs to be slow now. We cant have the hot, crazy fucking type of
sex that we had before. Things are different now,but this slow, sensual movement is
absolutely divine as I glide my pussy up and down his shaft.
He grips my hips, using his strong arms to help lift me in a slow and steady rhythm.
Cole junior has nothing on the real thing, I tell him in a gasp. I crave you
Cole.
His hand moves from my hip and slides up my back, tangling inside my hair before he
tugs my head back and kisses my neck, sucking on my flesh until I feel a slight
sting. Hes marking me, and I love it.
Lowering myself to his base, I grind myself against him, taking him into my depths
and rocking him against my g-spot.
Fuck, he moans, reaching his other hand between us and rubbing at my clit.
Oh god, I call out, digging my nails into his shoulders as my body is overcome by
my orgasm. He pulls my hair harder as he pushes himself into me as far as he can
possibly go, grinding our pelvises together almost painfully.
Fuckin hell, he moans, shuddering inside me. Jesus baby, I dont want to get out
of you. Keep fucking movin cause the moment we stop, Ive gotta go. Fuck, he
moans, grabbing my legs and flipping me backward while hes still inside. He starts
to slip in and out of me, moaning about how slick my juices are as he thrusts.
A knock sounds at the door. Fuck off, he growls, pumping inside me as I wrap my
legs around him and tilt myself upward.
Towballs callin for you man. Says its important.
He shakes his head, but keeps pumping.
Page 29
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
Take a fuckin message. Ill call him back, he commands, wincing as I claw my
nails up his back cheekily.
Shit, the voice on the other side of the door grumbles. Cole and I look at each
other and smile before he drops his head to kiss me as we hear them shuffle away
from the door.
As his tongue enters my mouth, we begin to slow our movements, taking our time and
just enjoying the push and pull that is us joined together. This is making love.
This is the most basal connection there is, and its perfect.
He entwines his fingers in mine and holds my arms above my head, gliding in and out
of my body with his cock as he kisses me and studies me as if hes committing me to
memory.
Eventually, the pressure builds again and I climax, my mouth open and gasping as I
try to maintain eye contact with my man.
When he releases his orgasm inside me, he pulls out and lies beside me panting. I
dont wanna go.
I dont want him to go either, but I know he cant stay. Club business is too
important. Just get it done, come back, and marry me. Ok?
He runs his hands down the side of my face and looks into my eyes. Deal. He kisses
me softly and then rolls off the bed with a groan. You wanna shower with me? he
says over his shoulder.
Soon. Im busy watching that hot arse of yours as you walk away.
He glances back and gives me that devastating grin of his that causes all of my
insides to take flight like its the first time Ive met him. It should be illegal
for a man like Cole to exist and it probably is in a way...
When I hear him switch on the shower, I sit up on the side of the bed and take a
moment to gather my strength and take my medication. In an effort not to worry Cole
too much, I think I may have overdone it and it takes an unusual amount of effort to
get to my feet.
Slowly, I make my way to the bathroom leaning against the wall just outside the door
to catch my breath and put a smile on my face. I don't want Cole knowing how weak
I've really become when he's about to leave me again and do something that I'm sure
is going to be very dangerous. Worrying about me could get him killed and I can't be
responsible for that.
The steam is rising out of the shower cubicle then bursts out of the curtain as I
step inside and slide my arms around Cole's waist and lay my head on his broad,
muscular back. I press a kiss to his Outlaw Rider tattoo as his hands cover mine and
we both just stand under the spray of the water, letting it wash over us.
I don't think either one of us wants to let go right now. If things don't work out,
this could be the last time we ever get to hold each other and as much as I don't
want to think that, I can't help but know that it could be a reality.
Taking the shampoo down from the shelf, he turns around in my arms and looks at me.
"I want to wash your hair," he rumbles.
I respond by turning around so he can squeeze the soap over the length of my hair.
With strong fingers, he massages the shampoo into my hair, rubbing his fingers over
my head. Closing my eyes, I let out a little moan of pleasure, as he continues to
rub my scalp.
Monique said somethin bout you to me last night, he says suddenly.
Oh yeah? What was that?
That you arent well. Made me think you were really strugglin.
He turns me around so Im forced to look at him. I get tired Cole. Thats all.
He furrows his brow. Dont lie to me Maddie. I want to know exactly what was said
at your check up.
I step past him and drop my head back under the water to wash away the suds. Ill
tell you what when you get back, Ill take you with me and you can hear for
yourself.
He doesnt reply and when I finish rinsing my hair, I open my eyes to find him
staring at me. I can see how worn out you are baby, he says.
I have a young baby who wakes up at five am. Of course Im tired. Now get out of
the shower and get ready. The sooner you go, the sooner you return. The moment, I
say that, I remember that the last time I said those words, he had to go into
hiding.
Stepping out of the shower, he wraps a towel around his waist as he watches me turn
the taps off, then holds out his hand to help me out.
Page 30
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
I love you, baby, and Im not stupid. I can see whats goin on.
I slide my arms up around his neck and kiss him on his bottom lip. Whats going on,
is your Old Lady is missing her man and your daughter wants to see her father more
than once every few months. Now quit your stalling because you and I both know you
have to get out there and end this. I will be here when you get back I promise.
Those were my famous last words.
I stood by and watched as Cole shaved his beautiful dark locks off his head, to
change his immediate appearance. He looks pretty menacing with a bald head and a
full face beard, and when he puts his sunglasses on when we step outside, he looks
even nastier.
He wears a plain leather jacket when he gets on his bike, a lone rider going through
the territory of other clubs is a very bad idea.
Starting his bike, he grips the back of my head, pulling me in for a final kiss
before riding out the gate, out of my sight and possibly my life - I can't stop this
horrible feeling that I'm never going to see him again.
Cora comes up beside me and places her arm around my waist. I sag against her,
already feeling so weak from today. Cora and my mother are the only two who know
exactly what's going on with me, and I plan to keep it that way. I don't see the
point in worrying everybody else unnecessarily when there's nothing that can be
done.
Hell be back before you know it, she says, watching the empty street with me.
How about we go and stare at the beautiful little girl of yours for a while? She's
so sweet she could cheer anyone up.
Wiping at my eyes, I nod and walk slowly beside her, taking notice when I see
Monique watching me as she leans against one of the poles under the clubhouse
awning. I can see that she knows something is going on, but she doesnt question me
about it. She knows better than to do that. This is Old Lady business, and she isnt
one of us yet.
As I turn my head away from her, my vision suddenly blurs, and the last thing I hear
is my name being yelled as slip out of Coras arms and collapse on the ground.
Chapter 13
Looks like theyre pulling together, I comment to Towball as I watch the Demon
Brothers congregating across the street from inside the van. Mango sits in the back
with a pair of binoculars, trying to find our best vantage points for attack.
Yeah. Cutter doesnt come out much though. Theyve got him inside. I think they
might be setting this up as some kind of clubhouse here though because theyve got
women streamin in and out at all hours of the day and night.
You think theyre interviewin for a whorehouse or just partyin? I ask, watching
as their club president speaks animatedly with about three other Demons. None of
them look particularly happy.
Not sure, Towball replies as he leans against the drivers side door. But theyre
definitely organising. Thats for sure.
I nod and take a look around the area. I reckon you set up, up there with your
rifle, I say to Towball as I point to a block of flats across the street. You can
use the roof or a balcony. Whichever has the best escape route.
And if theres people inside? he asks.
Moving only my eyes, I meet his questioning stare. Wear a mask, tie them up, and
you can leave an anonymous tip when were free and clear.
He nods his head once, accepting my instruction and waiting for me to continue.
Mango, youll go in with me. I want you to focus on the women.
Were not killin them are we? he asks, a hint of shock in his voice.
I level him with my gaze. Since when do Outlaw Riders fuckin kill woman you stupid
cunt? Youll use the fuckin tranq gun and knock them out. Ill take the men, you
take the women. Towball will get everyone on the outside.
What happens if a fuckin Demon is standin in front of me and all I have is a
fuckin dart gun? Mango asks, just as his phone starts buzzing in his pocket. He
glances at the screen then puts it back away.
I turn around to him. I thought you served? And, whos fuckin callin you?
It was Monique, and I bloody well did serve. I did a tour in fuckin Afghanistan
and everythin.

Then why are you so stupid? Youll go in with a fuckin gun as well, man. Im just
askin you to focus on getting the women down while I take out the men. We dont
need them fuckin screamin and goin all hysterical on us. We control this as much
as we can.
He nods his head thoughtfully and looks toward the house again through his
binoculars. I reckon we go in through the back. They dont have as many people
watchin out there.
Agreed. And it goes without sayin, but if you see Cutter, you tranq him. Ive got
a very special death planned for that man.
As we wait for night to fall, we go over our gear and our plan to make sure this
thing is going to go down without a hitch as we keep a close eye on the Demon
Brother residence. Mangos phone keeps going off and he keeps ignoring it.
Fuckin answer it, or switch it off, Towball growls at him. That fuckin noise is
drivin me nuts.
Ill switch it off, Mango says, pulling it out of his pocket and holding down the
power button.
Moniques pretty into you, huh? I say in conversation, wondering if hes planning
on claiming her after she took such good care of him while he was out.
Yeah. Shes a good woman. Doesnt know her place too good though. She knows were
on a job. She shouldnt be fuckin callin.
Maybe its somethin important? Towball says as he adjusts slightly in his seat,
being careful that he doesnt make the van move with his weight. The windows are all
tinted dark and you cant see in, but if they see the van moving, then you can be
damn sure theyll be over her ripping doors open.
How important can it be? Her favourite dancin heel broke? Mango replies.
Is she dancin again? Towball asks. I didnt think she was doin that anymore.
Well, she aint my Old Lady. Shes gotta earn her keep.
Fair enough. Id be pullin her out of that shit if I was you though. Otherwise
youre sharin that pussy with all the other guys back home. If you havent claimed
her, shes fair game.
Mango finishes clicking his gun back together. Yeah, I know. I just havent decided
if I want to ink her yet.
You two sissy girls had better be watching that fuckin house instead of
gasbaggin. We dont want to fuck up our head count when we get in there, I say,
starting to feel like Im sitting around with a couple of women. Towballs obviously
been spending too much time with Pip hes sounding fucking soft.
Were watchin Cole. Theres more than twenty scumbags inside and five outside and
almost thirty girls its a fuckin full house, Mango announces. Wed better go
in there with Kevlar.
Agreed, I say, wishing the sun would hurry the fuck up and set. I want this done
already so I can get back home to my own woman.
Chapter 14
Madeline? I hear my name called as lights flick above my head, blinding me in the
eye as someone touches my face.
Her names Maddie. Call her Maddie, I hear from someone else. I try to move my
head away from whoevers touching me, but they just keep doing it anyway.
Has she had her medication today?
I... I dont know. I didnt get the chance to ask.
I try to tell them yes, but my mouth just opens slightly and a small sound comes
out.
Shes awake.
Maddie? Can you hear me?
Yes, I whisper, nodding my head and squinting my eyes are the EMT flashes a light
in my eye to check for responsiveness.
As my focus returns, I can see Im wearing a blood pressure cuff on one arm and that
Im in my room at the club.
Cora and Monique are on one side of the bed, looking worried, while my mother stands
next to the medic and answers any questions.
Did you take your meds this morning, Maddie? he asks.
I nod. Yes. I just didnt sleep much last night. Im tired.
Page 32
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
Well, your blood pressures a little low. I think wed better get you to the
hospital so they can check you over properly. Ill just go and get the stretcher
from the van.
I can carry her, Killer offers, hovering around the doorway looking incredibly
worried.
No offense, Killer, but I reckon Id have a better chance at carrying her out than
you would. Youre tiny mate, Cora says.
Im stronger than I look, he says, coming in to the room and sliding his arms
beneath me, lifting me up as if I weigh nothing.
I guess youre right, I whisper.
Youre very light, he answers back as he walks with me outside where the EMTs are
getting the stretcher out of the back of the ambulance. Half the club is out, trying
to see whats going on and more than a few of them gasp when they see me getting
taken away...again.
Now I know I wont be able to keep this from Cole when he returns. Everyone now
knows Im unwell. I cant keep it quiet much longer.^^
Wheres Zia-Rose? I ask as Im strapped in for the ride so I cant fall off the
stretcher.
Shes with Pip, my mother says. Ill meet you at the hospital, ok?
Nodding, I thank Killer for carrying me out and lie back as they wheel the stretcher
into the back of the van and get ready to go back to the hospital. Im beginning to
feel as though I live in that place...
Chapter 15
Night falls, and we still wait. The Demon Brothers are getting drunk and loud which
means its probably a good time for us to go in there. I give Towball the nod as I
look up at the apartment building and he quietly slips out of the van and sprints
into the shadows, leaving me and Mango to await his call to signal hes in position.
I pull my phone out of my pocket and notice that Monique has tried to call me too.
Frowning, I wonder what her deal is. Shes looking clingy by calling everyone she
knows Mangos with. Even an Old Lady wouldnt do something like that.
I clear her name from my call history and leave the phone on my knee, so I can see
it when it lights up to signal the call. I wont be answering it as we dont want
the call logged from this location. We need to get in, get out and make sure we
leave nothing behind.
Got your vest on? I ask Mango over my shoulder.
Yep. Vest on, weapons and clips ready. Were good.
Silencer?
Done.
Good, because its time to do this, I say, seeing the call come through from
Towball.
We slip out van and close the door quietly, crouching down behind it as we wait for
Towball to take out the lookout sitting out front.
Two cracks, akin to the sound of stones banging together are heard from the silenced
rifle. Go, I say to Mango, racing across the road and down the driveway to access
the back while Towball keeps the front covered.
It doesnt matter how many times Ive done something like this in my lifetime. It
doesnt get any easier. My heart is still thudding in my chest, causing my blood to
pump loudly through my ears. I breathe deeply to keep my calm and focus my mind, but
this kind of undertaking isnt easy. I have so much in my life to lose.
We lean against the house, one on either side of the door and look at each other,
weapons held at the ready.
Stick to the plan, clear each room and then move on, I whisper to which Mango
nods. Sweat beads across his top lip and his eyes are wide and ready. I know hes
focused. I place my hand on the doorknob and turn it. Go.
Pushing the door open, we slip inside and stay close to each other. Weve entered
through the laundry and have to go through another door before were inside. I crack
it open, looking to see what were about to walk into.
The kitchen and dining area are on the other side. Theyre using the kitchen like a
bar and theres guys standing around it with women draped over them. To our left,
theres a bunch of guys sitting around a table, smoking it up and playing cards.
Loud heavy metal music fills the air, broken up only by the raucous yells of the men
Page 33
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
inside. Someone gets called a lying cunt and the poker players begin to push each
other around.
Turning back to Mango, I point to the location of the men and hold my fingers up to
indicate how many there are and where the women are.
He nods his understanding. This is why we like to recruit from the military. We can
get jobs done without talking by using hand signals.
I count us down and we open the door, aiming our weapons around the room and opening
fire. Within thirty seconds, each man is on the ground and the women are out cold.
Only one noticed us soon enough to grab hold of his gun, although he didnt get a
chance to yell.
Doing a quick survey of the carnage, I make sure that man is dead before checking my
weapons and nodding to Mango to move on.
Heading for the entrance to the front of the house where the lounge area will be, I
lean against the archway with Mango on the other side. He has a quick look on his
side and signals that there are five in there and a set of stairs leading to the
second floor.
On my side, theres two guys already passed out, drunk or drug fucked on the floor.
Once Ive signalled what I can see, we agree to take the guys out on Mangos side
before making sure the sleeping Demons dont ever wake up.
Taking a deep breath, we turn into the living room and put a bullet into each and
every one of those dirty motherfuckers. Watching as the first drops suddenly and
then everyone else in the room takes a confused moment to figure out whats going on
before they can react. But by then, its too late. Theyve already eaten the lead
from my gun.
When I was in the Navy, I was asked by a new recruit how I did what I did. Dont
you ever feel bad about busting in like a ninja and taking them all out without
giving them a chance to fight back? he said to me.
I looked at him and shook my head. Kid, by the time I get to them, theyve had
plenty of time to fight back. Im the last resort.
Thats why I feel no remorse when I watch these men go from laughter to death in the
ten seconds it takes for me to aim and fire at each of their heads.
Mango turns around and puts a bullet into each of the sleepers. For all we know,
theyre already dead from an overdose, but we dont want to leave any Demon Brothers
alive. Tonight, well be ending this.
Mango leads the way upstairs, holding his guns out ready. The moment, I turn to
follow, a figure comes flying down from over the top of the railings like a fucking
gorilla or something. Mango cops a set of boots, square in the centre of his chest
and is launched up into the air.
Holy fuck, I breathe, jumping out of the way as he sails past me and lands on the
ground with thud. His guns fly out of his hands and bounce along the ground as
fucking Loki, the Demon Brother president, lands on top of him and starts pounding
his fists, going to town on his face.
Scowling at the man who is the reason for all the evil this club has dealt on this
world, I aim my gun at his head.
Dont fucking do it. I hear from the staircase. My mother. With a gun aimed at me.
Fuck. I didnt think she was still here.
Im not above shootin you too, I reply, holding my other gun up to her too.
Thats a tranq gun, she comments. Ill have blown your head off well before it
knocks me out.
I look between her and Mango fighting with Loki as I decide what to do.
Nice look. I almost didnt realise who you were. I guess youre here for Cutter,
she comments, descending the stairs toward me as if we arent holding guns on each
other.
Shes wearing a red satin robe tied about her waist and I wonder how the fuck they
realised we were down here. We didnt make any sound.
Stay where you are, I command, taking a step away from her.
You are such a disappointment to me Cole. Ive always wished I drowned you in the
bath as a baby. Look at you you just killed a whole house full of men in cold
blood and youre thrown because your mothers standing in front of you. I was right
to leave you behind. You couldnt have been a Demon Brother. Not like Cutter is.
Back off, I tell her, glancing over at Mango who is holding his own in the
fistfight. I train both guns on my mother, gripping them hard to keep my hands from
shaking. Truth is, I thought if I saw her, Id be able to put a bullet in her head
Page 34
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
as if she was one of the men. But Im struggling to just pull the trigger of the
tranq gun. I thought I could handle this.
Suddenly, she lowers her gun and starts laughing. How did you think this was going
to end? Youd kill the lot of us and go home the victor? You arent good enough to
catch Cutter. While youve been here warring with your despicable goodness, hes
probably already gone. Youve lost again Cole. You cant win against us. Were too
strong.
She takes another step toward me and I shake my head at her. Youre wrong, I say,
pulling the triggers on both guns. I hit her in the arm with the bullet, causing her
to drop the gun and cry out as the tranquiliser dart hits her in the chest and
causes her to stumble backwards. Her eyes wide with surprise as she clutches the
bleeding limb before falling to the ground.
She stays awake for long enough to see me fire another bullet into the back of her
husbands skull. He drops dead, slumping on top of Mango, who pushes him off with a
speed Ive never seen him move at.
Fuckin hell, he exclaims as he gets to his feet and looks down at the bodies on
the ground. He pauses when he sees my mother. You want me to put a bullet in that
one? he asks, just as the front door bursts open and Towball appears, carrying a
body on his shoulder.
Holy fuck, is that..? I ask, relief flooding over me as nods and turns so I can
see. I let out a burst of relieved laughter as I realise hes fucking done it. We
have Cutter.
Are we killin her? he asks as well, looking at my mother on the ground.
I shake my head. I think Id prefer it if she suffers, I say, walking over to
Towball and removing Cutters hunting knife and holder that he keeps strapped to his
thigh. I bend down and leave it as an offering beside my sleeping mother. She needs
to know we won.
Chapter 16
The beeping of the machines makes it hard for me to sleep. I hate being here, hooked
up to monitors while I wait to see if my time on this earth is even more limited
that I originally thought it was.
A year ago, I wouldnt have cared if my heart decided to give out. I would have
welcomed it. But now, I have a family. I have a life. Im not ready to go. But from
what the doctors are saying, if I dont get a heart transplant, I may not life to
see my daughters first birthday.
Cole doesnt know how bad Ive become. When I was pregnant with Zia-Rose, the
pregnancy put my body under a lot of strain, and when the placenta erupted and I had
to undergo emergency surgery, it made it just that little bit worse. Coles aware
that Im sick, I told him that much at the hospital. But he thinks that if I rest,
Ill recover. He doesnt know I need a new heart, and even then I might not make it.
There are no guarantees here.
A surge of emotion bursts through me and I let out a stifled cry as I finally give
up on sleep and open my eyes.
Sorry, I didnt realise you were here, I say, wiping at my eyes as I notice a
female doctor standing at the end of the bed looking at my file.
A heart defect... she comments, and the sound of her voice sends my blood running
cold in my veins. Looks like you dont have long in this world Maddie. Thats good.
It means Cole wont want to be a hero in case your poor little heart gives out.
What are you doing here Loraine? I say to Coles mother.
A mother cant visit her sons Old Lady without a reason? she responds with an
evil grin.
Not a mother like you.
Cole has Cutter. I want him back, and youre going to help me, she says, pulling a
syringe out of the white coat shes wearing so she looks like a doctor.
What are you doing? How did you even know I was here?
One of your Outlaw Rider protectors dropped their phone while they gunned down my
family. Some girl called Monique left a bunch of messages saying youd been taken to
this hospital. You have to love modern technology. It can tell you everything you
need to know about someone.
Please dont put that in there, I say as she moves to my drip and takes a hold of
the injection point.
Page 35
215955840-Underworld-Champions-Blood-War-MC-Outlaw-2-by-Ella-Stone
Or what? Cole just took everything from me. Now, I just want to do the same to him.
Say goodbye Maddie.
She inserts the syringe and I feel a cool pressure run up my arm. I barely manage
any further protest before it all goes black and Im not sure if Im alive or dead.
Chapter 17
Tie him up over there, I instruct Towball and Mango, who drag a struggling Cutter
over to the tree Im indicating and binding him to it with gaff tape before they
head back toward the van to keep a lookout for any trouble.
Cutter growls and spits at me. You fuckin chicken shit bastard. Cant face me one
on one like a fuckin man. You gotta tie me up and use yer men, he hisses at me,
trying to goad me into a fistfight.
I just smile at him and remove my knife. Ive seen your handiwork before, I tell
him, turning the blade from side to side and checking it for a straight edge. I know
its perfect, but Im doing this for show. Thought you might like to see what it
actually feels like to be flayed. Ill go slow. I want you to live the whole way
through it.
You dont have the balls to go through with it.
Ive had practise. Have you ever been to Colorado? I hear its nice there this time
of year.
His eyes narrow and a disgusting grin curls his mouth. Youre the one responsible
for that? He chuckles. Looks like the sickness runs in the family. Evils in your
blood, just like it is in mine. Killin me aint gonna make that go away. Itll just
make the hunger grow even stronger til it consumes your soul and makes it black as
mine.
I lean in and whisper in his ear. Hes the surprise Cutter. My souls been black
since the day I was born. I like killin. Fuckin love watchin the life drain out
of a man. But the difference between and me is that I get off on vengeance. I take
out my prey like Im a motherfuckin angel of justice. Evil isnt in my blood you
sick cunt. Killin evil shitdicks like you is what sustains me. I fuckin love every
second of it and go to sleep at night with a smile on my face.
He doesnt say anything in reply. He just glares at me as I pull away stare into his
dead eyes as I slice the knife through his shirt.
As I expose his scared and tattooed flesh, Im reminded of the first guy I did this
to. By now he was struggling like fucking crazy, but Cutter, he just keeps glaring
me at as if hes silently daring me to do my worst.
Pressing the blade into his skin, I watch his expression shift slightly as I slice
across his shoulder and around his arm. Blood flows and he sets his jaw against the
pain as I continue to cut.
Now comes the fun part, I say, working the knife under skin to begin peeling it
back. I see his eyes lose focus and Im about to pull when Towball and Mango come
racing through the bush.
Stop! they yell as they get close. You cant fuckin kill him Cole.
Keeping my grip, I turn to them. Cutter must die. Theres no fuckin livin for
this cunt. No more.
Cole, Towball says, holding his hands up in a non-threatening way. Lorraines got
Maddie.
What? No. Shes at the fuckin compound. She should be safe.
I dont fuckin know how she got her. But shes got Mangos phone and she just
called and sent proof. He shows me a photo on his phone of Maddie lying on the
floor of some room, passed out. Weve gotta trade Cutter to get her back.
Guess who mother likes best? Cutter adds. I turn and raise the knife then plunge
it into his shoulder and twist.
Youre still fuckin dyin. Youve just got longer to bleed out now.
I turn around, chest heaving in anger and snatch the phone out of Towballs hand
with my own blood cover ones. I stare at my woman, my heart thudding in my ears as I
beat myself up internally for being too fucking soft to kill my mother when I had
the chance.
I let her live and now shes got my Old Lady.
This is bullshit! Cutter needs to die and shes fuckin next on the list.
Towball steps forward. I know. But not today brother, not today.
FUCK!% I yell, spinning around and punching Cutter in the side of the face,
Page 36

knocking him out. FUCK!

Maddie never asked for the life she was given. She simply played the hand she was
dealt. So when her sorry excuse for a father suddenly dies, she wants nothing more
than to leave her old life behind.
But, with no money to back her, her options are very limited. Her only option is to
go to the one person who should have been taking care of her all along - her mother.
She's married to the president of the MC Outlaws. That's a motorcycle club. Maddie's
never really been into that shit, but she doesn't have a choice. And surprisingly,
she's going to come to rely on the Outlaws more than she ever expected.
Cole isn't the type of guy a girl should fall for. He's rough. He's demanding, and
controlling, and he doesn't take no for an answer. But, Maddie finds she can't help
herself. He's the club's VP, and so goddamned hot, he'd melt the panties off a nun.
She knows she should get some money under her belt and run. The past has an uncanny
ability to always catch up with you. But something keeps her running to that sexy
biker, Cole.
But Cole has a past as well, and when both of their pasts collide, nothing short of
a catastrophe ensues.
Can these two tortured souls find a way to heal each other. Will Cole be her
Champion?
