My father is a member, he’s one of the founders. He helped build this club from the ground up and I’m his only child. I should be allowed to take his seat just as the boys take their fathers!
I’m ready to take a stand, start a movement in the club, if I must. Change isn’t always a bad thing, but something that’s necessary. Us girls can keep up with the men, we are just as badass as they are. But old-fashioned values of ‘protect the girls’, are still ever present in their minds. I understand things happened in the club to cement this mentality, but I will have Kobe’s ear, and I will force him to listen to reason.
I was in no way prepared for my man to be as alpha as he is.
He took me off guard, made me need things that I didn’t realize I’d wanted. It’s a ride I wasn’t expecting, but one I’m willing to get onboard with.
We were supposed to be convenient; we weren’t supposed to get our emotions involved. But he evoked every one that laid dormant inside of me. Ones that I’d coveted, and hidden, from the outside world.
Will the war that started at their fathers’ hands be the one that destroys them? Things are changing, the MC is growing…but does it keep them together and make them stronger or does it divide them in the end?
