Viper

I wake up at the crack of dawn. The feel of extra body heat along my back has me slowly looking back. When I see a head of brown hair, I suddenly remember the kid coming to talk to me. She opened up to me more than I expected. I held her in my arms as she fell asleep, right beside me here on the floor.

Slowly, so not to wake her up, I stand from the floor. Cracking my neck from side to side with a grunt. Once I have my bearings, I look at the woman who has always had a special place in my heart. She is spread out along the bed, her dog Fang took up the side where Lilith once laid. I smile at the sight of her sprawled on the bed without a care in the world. The look on her face is peaceful. Something tells me it hasn't been that way in a long time.

Looking down where the kid sleeps, I see the blankets are down at her hip. Kneeling down I pull up the blanket, so it's just below her chin. Buttercups head lifts in the air, as the dog looks at me. I pat her on top of the head before standing and making my way out the door. Closing is quietly behind me, my head drops to the door, as I stand here thinking about everything that is to come.

Thinking about it, makes my blood boil. I know that sick fuck, Drake won't let her go without a fight. Thinking about him has tension growing in my body. My muscles tightening, as I stand to my full height I clenched my hands tight at my sides, before taking a deep breath. Once I was able to calm down I unclenched my fist, snapping my neck, and walking down the hall. As I make my way down the steps, looking around at all the men I have grown with, their old ladies and the biker sluts that cohabit with us on a daily basis. The sound of loud voices and laughter fills these walls.

I make my way to the main room, where we have rows of pool tables on one side of the room, the bar on the other with tables and chairs, as well as a few couches in between. A lot of shit happens in this room. The partying, sex, smoking, and drinking takes place here. As I stand in the threshold of the room, I look to see who is all here.

Looking for the most important members of the club. Looking toward the pool tables sure enough there's Spine and Raptor drinking beer and playing a game. In the center, sitting at a table in the far end of the room sits Reptile and Rex, arm wrestling as they usually do. Especially, when they are trying to figure out who does what. Instead of ordering one or the other to do something I let those two dipshits do as they wish.

At the bar, Jackie slides over a shot of vodka to my best friend Hammer, who sits there with his laptop in front of him. Multiple windows open on the screen, I see one of the biker sluts on her knees in front of him. Shaking my head, I laugh beneath my breath. Knowing good and well, that some boundaries need to be set for this club and things like that now that we have a six year old girl here.

Otherwise, I have a feeling if the men keep up with these antics, Allison will knock every one of their teeth out for sure. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Spine and Raptor have noticed me, as they lay down their pool sticks and make their way to me. Once beside me, I nod to the two men, leaving the room, knowing they will have the brothers in the meeting room soon.

"Listen up fuckers, club meeting in five." Raptors voice echoes along the halls. I'm just making it to the door, when a plate of eggs, bacon and toast is placed in front of me. With a raised brow I look to the side, about to tell whoever it is that I'll eat once I'm finished with the meeting. When I see it's Martha standing there, her hip popped out, one hand along there, and her own brow raised. I know to shut the fuck up, taking the plate I thank her with a kiss along her cheek.

"Lips off my woman there Viper." Jackie's gravely voice shoots at me from behind. I smile as I raise to my full height and turn a little to the side to look at the older man. "You sure you want to have that tone with me?" It's a question, that really doesn't need an answer. They don't call me Viper just because. I'm a lethal human being, especially if you're an enemy.

Of course, my words don't have an effect on Jackie, he and these member's specifically are the only men in this world that can get away with talking to me like that. With a hand in the air, he brushes my threat off. "I don't see you doing a damn thing to me there boy." His hand lands on my shoulder, as he bends and kisses his wife on the lips.

"You are the only man in this world that can call me that." I growl out as I open the door, walking into the meeting room. I take my place at the head of the long table, as Reptile sits to my left, Hammer at my right. Rex and Raptor take seats beside Reptile. Spine and Jackie pull out chairs beside Hammer. We sit there and wait as the rest of the club members walk in and take the remaining seats.

Everyone shuts up and awaits to see what I called this meeting for. Placing the plate of food in front of me, I lean back in the chair, looking at each man in the eye as I move around the room. These aren't just members of my club; they are my family. I trust them with my life, and therefore, with Allison and Lilith's life as well.

"As you all know we have finally brought a fallen Cobra member home last night. As well as another younger child as a bonus addition to the family. Each member nods their head, all looking serious with a determined glint in their eyes. "Word is that the Stefano's may want to start some shit because we brought Allison and the kid here." One of my more outspoken members shouts out gaining my attention.

Wrecker stands from his chair, the man the biggest of all my men, and has never once taken a steroid. Although, many people think that when they first see him. The man practically lives in the gym that's in the basement of our establishment. "What of it?" I shrug my shoulders at him, standing a bit straighter.

I've never had a problem with the man, but if he has a problem with us brining back a member of this family then that will quickly change. Especially, since the woman in question is Allison. The girl that has always had a big part of my heart. We stare down at one another, neither of us willing to look away.

"Not at all, I'm just wondering when we will be able to beat the shit out of some mafia pansies." His words cause my shoulders to calm down as he smiles a big toothy grin at me. Causing all the men in the room to laugh. Walking closer to him, I place my hand on his shoulder, "Soon Wreck, real soon. You have my word."

He nods his head, knowing I mean business with the tone of my voice. Once he sits down, I walk around the room and begin telling everyone what I have planned. Starting with making a phone call to Drake, so he hears from my own mouth that I have my woman back, and there will be nothing he can do to get her back.
