Knight
Eve R. Hart - 2018
They had been my family since I was born. I tried to leave and make a life on my own but it wasn’t a huge shock that four years later I turned around and came back. I earned my way in, just like every other man there. I went to war for the club and earned my patch. Now, I sat at the new chapter’s table as the Sergeant At Arms. Everything was going great until my past walked through the door in the form of a girl I’d once called my best friend. A girl I’d tried so hard to forget. It didn’t help that she was my former president’s daughter. Brass was a man I’d looked up to my whole life, so when he asked me to watch over his daughter I couldn’t say no. Only I didn’t realize how closely he expected me to do that. The past came back as I tried to figure out my future. All I wanted to do was touch her but the burden of knowing I’d let Brass down in doing so was the one thing that held me back. Gwen I grew up in a motorcycle club, my dad had been the president since before I was born. I had no problem with the club princess title because I knew that meant I was loved and protected. Though, I was far from being a princess. Then my best friend broke my heart and I wasn’t even sure why. So, the first chance I had to run, I did- all the way across the country. The only thing the distance made me realize was that I missed the club, my family. I shouldn’t have been surprised when my dad’s solution was to stick me with one of the few people he trusted with his life. New city. New Chapter. New place to figure out my way in life. Only, I couldn’t let go of the past, especially when I had to see it every day. I was so wrapped up in trying to hide my feelings that I didn’t even notice the danger around me until it was too late. My only regret was I didn’t tell him how I felt.
