Beast (Diablos MC Book 1)

by Eden Rose

  He holds me tightly, rubbing my back. I burrow my face in his freshly washed skin. “Oh, baby. That fuckin’ prick hurt you like that? I’m gonna fuckin’ kill him worse. When did…”

  “My mom walked in on it and started cussing him out. Told him she was going to take him to court and get his rights terminated. Come to think about it, that’s probably why he killed her…” I hedge. I knew there was something more than just he not liking her. There had to be more.

  I just never looped everything together until right now.

  And just like that, everything became crystal clear. Everything that has happened in my life has brought me to this man and I’m not letting him go.

  I can tell he’s getting tired. “When was the last time you slept?” I question.

  “I don’t know.”

  My head spins from frustration. This man is driving me crazy already. “Go to sleep and we’ll talk more in the morning.”

  “Wait!” He calls out before I can leave the room to put the towels in the bathroom. “I want you to sleep with me.”

  I look at the bed and then look at him. This is dangerous territory. If I crawl into that bed, I’m fucked. There’s no coming back from it.

  “I know I don’t deserve it, Bella. I need another chance. Please, give me another chance. I’m so fuckin’ sorry. I’ll do anything to make it up to you.”

  I’m faced with the same two decisions I was faced with when I first met the man. Two different lives and two different outcomes for me.

  In the end, I choose my heart. I drop the towel on the floor and crawl into bed with him.

  If he’s willing to do anything to make it up to me, I will do the same.

  Epilogue

  Prince

  My dad never told me how fucked up being president actually is. I never knew the amount of stress this bull shit would put on my life and the amount of blunts it takes for me to fall asleep.

  I knew Beast was struggling with some shit when he didn’t show up at the clubhouse for two weeks. I wanted to give him time to handle his own demons before I swooped in and cleaned them up for him. Little did I know, he was almost fucking dead.

  If I would have gone there earlier, he might not have been so fucked up. If I would have read the signs for him, I would have known how deeply he was struggling.

  “Where are we at on findin’ Bella’s dad?” I ask the room at large.

  We’re having the first church since Beast started getting his shit together. He’s not back to his full monty, but I’ll take what I can get. I need my soldier for when I go into battle.

  “Prez, the man’s a fuckin’ ghost!” Dragon shouts out at me with a snarl.

  Dragon’s ready for war and I can tell his knives are sharpened. “What the fuck do you mean? Everyone leaves a footprint!”

  Beast speaks up next. “Bella says he’s probably over seas.”

  I want to bang my head against the table. “Are you fuckin’ kiddin’ me? We let him get away?”

  Each moment he’s out in the world being free, is another moment I’m being laughed at as a president. Because of him, I have to step up and handle more business than I thought I would have to in the short amount of time I have.

  If we can turn him into the feds, we can release my dad. The problem with that, if we release my dad that means he takes over the presidency again. I have mixed feelings about that.

  There’s a knock on the door interrupting us. “What?” I bark at the door.

  Gimp, a prospect who limps, is opening the door cautiously. “I’m so sorry to bother you, prez. I’ve got something for you.”

  “What?” I demand.

  He pushes open the door and in walks another man with a pissed off look on his face. “I know where Peter is,” he advises.

  “Why should I trust you?” I ask the questions here. I don’t want this guy thinking he’s going to dictate the conversation.

  “Because Peter stole my daughter and sold her to the fucking cartels for drugs. He’s in Mexico with my daughter and his other daughter.”

  “What other daughter?” Beast asks, clearly this is the first time he’s heard of Bella having a sister.

  The man shifts from side to side. “If I take you to him, I get to be the one that fucking kills him. Okay? He sold my daughter for drugs! My fifteen year old daughter was stolen from me!”

  I feel his conviction and I want to think he’s telling the truth, but I have no idea if I should trust him. “How do you know it was him?”

  He hands a file over to Gimp who then walks it over to me. The file is thick with documents, receipts and finally a USB drive. I look at the documents along with the pictures which are hidden in between them.

  “That’s Peter,” I shout. “That rat bastard has been in Mexico this whole fuckin’ time!”

  I shoot out of my chair ready to drive down to Mexico to finish him off when I’m stopped by the new man in the room.

  “Please don’t hurt my daughter. I don’t know how old the girl she’s with, but she’s young too.”

  I look down at the picture staring at beautiful yet scared blue eyes. The woman is gorgeous.

  “You have my word. Thank you.”

  I look around the table at my guys. “Gentlemen, we’re goin’ to war.”
