Chapter One
From Saber- Sinners MC-
When The Sinners Meet The Knights
“Who the fuck are these guys?” Nix asked Queenie, as he slammed the door behind them.
Pony glared at him. “We’re the Sinners from Boston, who the fuck are you?”
“Name’s Nix and I’m part of the Knights MC.” The big man crossed his arms over his chest.
Queenie growled at the two men. “Put your dicks back in your pants, boys. We are all on the same damn side. We need to get back on the road and Danny back to his family.”
Danny looked stricken as he moved toward Queenie and shook his head. “But you guys are my family, Queenie. Don’t you love me anymore?”
Queenie brushed his blond hair away from his forehead. Then she reached out and cupped both sides of his face. “Of course I love you, little man. I have since the day I first saw you. But I’ve never made any secret of the fact that you had a family somewhere else and they were missing out on watching you grow up. I’ve been looking to find them every chance I could, you know that.”
Danny nodded. “But I thought when you couldn’t find them that I could stay with you and Paladin.” He referred to Queenie’s Grandfather.
Queenie slowly pulled him toward her.
He hugged her tightly.
“Danny,” Queenie said. “Grandpa Paladin and I would have loved that but I found your family today. You have a dad who has missed you so much and he wants you back.” She referred to Hawk, President of Sinners.
Pony, Hawk’s VP snorted. “You also got a little sister named Tanny and boy, she’s gonna own you once we get you home.”
Queenie looked over at him as she got to her feet and shook her head. “We’ve got to roll boys. We’ve been out in the open too long and the Greens will figure out where we were going soon. I hope not, but Duggen would know by now where I went.” She paused and stared at Saber. “You guys can protect him, right?”
Saber glared at her.
Pony and Bandit looked upset.
“Hell yeah, we can protect him,” Pony stated.
Queenie held up her hand to stop the backlash. “Not saying you can’t, I was just asking. Our enemies don’t care if you’re a kid or a woman. They will go right through you to get to their objective. The Greens are an unusual kind of MC, they are ugly and just plain mean. Duggen’s MC Satan’s Lair is just evil like their name. The Green’s and their minions will charge right in, thinking they have the high ground.”
“I think we can handle the Greens,” Pony added.
Queenie turned to glare at him. “Anyone with half a brain could see you guys are prepared. But if you’ve never dealt with them, you have no fucking idea what they’re like. They have a one track mindset. They just take whatever they want and if you object, they shoot you, then they take it anyway. Cooter rules that MC with an iron fist.” She paused in her tirade when Danny wrapped his arms around her waist. She hugged him closer and looked at the men around her. “Ok, we’ve got to get back. We need to get him to his father.”
Chapter One
Two months Later…
Nix and his group finally arrived in Boston. It had been a fairly short trip but a tense one. Nix realized this reunion was coming out of left field but he also knew it was past time it happened. Paladin had told him he needed to do this but Nix was wondering if he was opening a Pandora's box that needed to stay shut.
He looked over at the other rider beside him, Riptide and prayed this first meeting would go well. Riptide had been looking for his father most of his life. Nix knew Hawk could put the two of them together and maybe clear the path but first, he needed to hear Riptide’s story and there was the rub. He might not ever accept Riptide but Nix hoped he would. Riptide was an ok guy in his books. He and his men had helped their MC, the Knights, rid the world of the Green’s family and made the world a better place because they were no longer around.
When Riptide told them his story, Paladin advised Nix that they needed to introduce him to Hawk and see where it went.
Checking his mirrors, Nix saw Paladin’s truck behind them and grinned. Paladin wouldn’t have missed this visit as he’d been missing Danny and Queenie something fierce. It hadn’t been that long but long enough. Now that the Greens were taken care of, there wasn’t any reason to put this trip off any longer.
As they made their way through the silent city, Nix wondered why he felt like his life was on the line at the moment.
They made the last turn and had a short street to ride before they came to the front gates of the Sinners compound. Nix pulled to a stop just as the front door opened and Sinners came out on the porch. They lined up.
For a long moment, the two groups of men just stared at each other.
Finally, Paladin got out of his truck and stomped his way to the front gate. Then he yelled out, “Queenie, get your butt out here and greet an old man? Danny, you in there, kiddo?”
Suddenly, the front door was thrown open. Queenie and Danny or Caden as he was now called, rushed outside.
They paused briefly and Queenie yelled back, “Grandpa!” Then both of them rushed to the front gates.
Hawk and Saber hurried after them.
When they got there, Queenie and Caden were both speaking a mile a minute. They were so happy and excited to see Paladin.
Hawk growled and hit the code to open the gate.
Grinning, Paladin rushed through the portal to hug them both.
Hawk looked over at Saber and shook his head. “I think they know him, don’t you?”
Saber nodded then laughed. “Yeah, they know him but I don’t know any of them except for Nix.”
Hawk studied the other riders and he looked troubled. “Me either.” He stared at Nix and asked, “What’s going on here and why did you bring them? Who are they?”
Nix was about to speak but Paladin beat him to it, “Hawk, this is someone you need to meet. We’ve known him a spell. So when Nix came back after the trouble with the Greens and the Lairs, we discussed it and thought we’d just show up and bring you two boys together.”
“Two?” Hawk furrowed his brows.
Paladin nodded. “Just wait till you see him, Mr. Hawk. It is incredible.” He turned his head and nodded at one of the riders.
Bigger than all the others, the rider reached up to take off his helmet.
As he shook out his long blond hair, Hawk was stunned. It was like looking into a mirror as he studied the man’s face. “Who the hell are you?” he whispered.
“My road name is Riptide. My mama gave me the name Magnus Westerly, even if she wasn’t married to the man who fathered me. Who the hell are you?” He stood up on both feet and towered over the others.
Hawk could see how well built the man was. He stood at least 6 foot 4 inches tall and his chest easily matched Hawk’s own. But it was the other man’s face that drew his gaze. The resembalance was uncanny and his name, well that couldn’t be just a coincidence. “My road name is Hawk but my real name is James Dean Westerly. And if I didn’t know any better, I would think that I’m your brother.” Then his troubled gaze turned into a glare. “I’m gonna kill that old man one day and it might just be sooner rather than later.”
Riptide rested his helmet on his side and looked at Hawk. “And just who is this old man?”
Hawk snorted. “He would be my father, Senator Harlan Westerly.”
Riptide nodded at him. “Yep, that’s the man she named me for and although I don’t know him personally, I think I might just help you to kick his ass. But before we do, I need some answers and I think so do you.”
The rest of the men took their helmets off and sat on their bikes as they all had the same questions in their eyes.
Hawk stared at them and slowly shook his head, then offered, “Well you better come in and let’s parley. Maybe we can get some answers before we confront the old man.”
Riptide gave him a nod then looked back at his men. He nodded at the men on their rides.
The riders rolled their bikes behind him inside the gate.
Queenie looked at her grandfather as she sighed and shook her head.
“What?” Paladin asked. “What was I supposed to do? I think they needed each other and I don’t regret it one damn bit.”
“Grandpa, that stubborn streak of yours is gonna get you into trouble one of these days,” Queenie told him in disgust. Hooking her arm in his and then in Danny’s, she led them both back to the clubhouse. “To get you up to date…Danny is now called Caden and he’s Hawk’s son. He has a little sister named Tanny. Hawk also has a wife Tula, so mind your manners.”
Paladin snorted at her warning to mind his manners. “Girl, you know me better than that. I wouldn’t bring bad manners to another MC. I always behave myself when I go to another club and I expect visitors to do the same in my club.”
Queenie looked at him with speculation in her gaze. “Oh, yeah? Then why did you bring Riptide here?”
Paladin got a determined look in his eyes and said, “I just brought two brothers together, is all. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.” He shrugged and explained, “When Nix told us of this man Hawk and how he could be Rip’s own brother. That they looked so much alike, I couldn’t help it. You know part of Rip’s story and how his mama’s gone now. Everyone needs family sometimes, girl. He’s just looking for a place he can call home. Well this is me just trying to give him that.”
They entered the clubhouse and Caden showed him where to sit.
Tanny came over and hung back while looking at Caden then at Paladin.
Paladin looked over at the little girl and smiled at her. “Are you young Caden’s little sister?”
Tanny nodded but for once was silent.
Caden rolled his eyes. “Grandpa, this is Tanny and she’s a right royal pain in the behind at times.”
Tanny frowned and stuck her tongue out at her brother and said, “You’re a bigger pain bucko, so that’s like painting me with the same brush.”
Paladin chuckled at the pair. “I swear child, you remind me so much of Queenie when she was your age, you really do.”
Tanny paused to study him and asked, “So is that a good thing or a bad thing?”
Paladin shook his head, “That’s a very good thing. I miss that little girl a lot.”
“But why do you miss her?” Tanny asked. “She’s standing right beside you now.”
Paladin nodded. “Yes, I know that but back when she was your age, she used to ask me a thousand questions a day. Now she’s all grown up and I guess she knows everything. So she doesn’t do that anymore and I miss it.”
Tanny nodded then told him, “She might not ask any more questions cuz you already told her all the things she needs to know.”
Paladin nodded. “Maybe but there is always something new to learn, isn't there?”
Tanny thought for a moment then shrugged. “Maybe she asks Sabertooth now.”
Paladin nodded. “I imagine she does but that’s a good thing for her and sad thing for me because I don’t see her too much anymore.”
“Grandpa, don’t you worry, you still got me in your corner.” Danny/Caden told him.
“Wait a minute here… if you’re my brother Caden, does that mean he’s my grandpa too?” Tanny asked.
Caden shook his head sadly. “He’s not really my grandpa. He’s Queenie’s grandpa and mine because she found me and took me in.”
Paladin narrowed his eyes at the boy’s words. “Doesn’t that make me your honorary grandpa, boy? Or are you just gonna toss me aside now that Queenie found your real family?”
Caden’s eyes widened in shock at Paladin’s words. “You still want me as part of your family?” he whispered.
Paladin snorted. “You are and will always be part of our family. I know you ain’t blood, but you are still part of us, kiddo. Me and Queenie took you in, we gave you a roof over your head, and food to fill your belly and most importantly, we gave you love and that’s all you needed then. You crept into our hearts and that’s what makes you family. If you ever need us, we’ll always be there for you and yours.” Then he turned to Tanny to say, “I guess that makes you part of our family too. I’d be proud if you could call me your grandpa, child. Although I understand you already have a grandpa, I can be a spare if you like?”
Tanny grinned then turned to Caden and stuck her tongue out again.
Paladin shook his finger at her. “Don’t you go doing that. You shouldn’t disrespect anyone, let alone your own family and do you know why?”
Tanny shook her head as her eyes rounded.
“Number one, it ain’t nice and number two: Caden is your brother and there are gonna be times when family is all you got. You treat them right and they will treat you right. You got that, little girl?”
Tanny nodded.
“Now, you apologize to your brother.”
Tanny looked down then swung her gaze back up with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry, Caden.”
Paladin looked at Caden and nodded.
Caden went over to Tanny and pulled her into a hug. “I forgive you Tanny. I guess we’re still learning how to be a family. But you always stick your tongue out, so I thought it was something you couldn’t help.”
Paladin paused at this and then he laughed.
Queenie chuckled too. She glanced over at Hawk to see him smile a bit, so Paladin didn’t cross a line anyway. Paladin’s way of teaching might not be right all the time but he did right this time. Then she looked over at Hawk and Riptide. Her grandfather told him he brought the two brothers together and maybe they needed to know of each other but she also had a feeling he probably just stirred up a helluva hornet’s nest.
Saber had told her a little about Hawk’s family dynamics. So she knew this wasn’t going to go over well, not well at all.
