Chapter 12.
Courtney POV.
*8 Point
I walk into Wolfs office, and he checks my face and glares at the mark.
“Don’t worry baby girl, she will be dealt with for this,” he says and I look in his eyes and sigh.
“She is worse off than I am. I knocked her out after she did this. It’s ok, I’m fine. She, however,
will no doubt kick up a stink.” I tell him, and he smirks before he chuckles.
“I know she has been difficult and I know what she and Venom did hurt you and for that, I’m
sorry. I don’t know where I went wrong with her. I raised her, but she would spend the
weekends with her mom. You were raised by your momma and the two of you are so different.
I failed in raising her,” he says guiltily and I shake my head at him.
“Don’t beat yourself up, Wolf. She is just pissed because your attention is not on her. What she
and Venom did, well, they will have to live with that.” I say to him and he looks sadly at me.
“Anyway, we need to talk when this is sorted out.” I say to him, just shrugging it off like it
doesn’t hurt me, which is bullshit because it does. I would have given anything to have him in my life growing up. But seeing how Chloe turned out, in a way, I’m grateful that he didn’t. Chloe
is one spoiled little b***h.
The other three enter the office and I take my seat on the sofa as Kaden walks in with Chloe
closely behind him with her head down, playing the victim. Strom just smirks folding his arms
over his chest.
Kaden tries to come to me when Wolf stops him.
“What happened?” Wolf asks, and I stay silent. He already knows my version. Queue the water
works from Chloe as she lays it on thick, saying how I beat her ass and no one stopped me.
We all just look at her like the bad actress she is. When that didn’t work, well. Surprise,
surprise, the waterworks dried up quicker than the Sahara and she started screaming.
God, she is draining the life out of me. An emotional vampire. I mean, how the hell doesn’t she have a severe case of dehydration? I’ve heard the phrase cry me a river, but damn girl, she is
crying a damn ocean.
“Ok, enough being a damn banshee! Give it a damn rest, I think my ear drums are bleeding. You f****d up Chloe. You saw your backside because Kaden told me he loved me and you slapped me. But you thought I wouldn’t retaliate, but I knocked your ass out. So enough, you are in the wrong. Moreso than he is. You f*****g drugged him and took advantage, so if you

want to get technical, that is rape. So quit your bitching and crying and all the woe is me bullshit and shut the f**k up!” I say to her and she looks like I slapped her.
“And you two, acting like a pair of jealous pricks. Enough. Kaden, you are the father of my bean and you need to start acting like it. Storm, stop being a wind up merchant and let me say this. I only see you as a friend. Wolf, sort your daughter out and your men before I lose my 5*** and go nuclear. Trust me, a pissed off, hormonal woman is not what you want to see. Now, is that cleared up?” I say, looking at everyone in this office and they all look taken aback at my outburst.
“Good, Kaden, Storm, we have s**t to discuss. Chloe, go and lick your wounds elsewhere and I will deal with you another time. Remember my warning, you ever put your hands on me again. I will put you in the ground.” I say, and Wolf smirks at me and winks.
She huffs and looks at Wolf, who ignores her. And she screams before leaving the room and slamming the door behind her.
“Good luck with her, Wolf.” I say, shaking my head and he sighs before he sits down in front of
- me.
“What is it you wanted to discuss?” He asks me and takes my hands in his and Bean kicks and Kaden moves closer to me and rubs my belly and he receives another kick.
“I know sweet one, daddy is sorry for pissing mommy off.” I just ignore him.
“I need to speak to Chief.” I get right to the point and Wolf looks at me confused before he
looks at Kaden and the Storm.
“Why? What do you need from him?” He says and I look at Kaden and he looks at me.
“Tell him he has a right to know.” I say to Kaden and he nods his head as Strom sits down next to me and takes my hand in his. Kaden growls and I remove my hand from Storms.
“Katie, or rather Caitlyn, is the missing granddaughter of Chief.” He tells Wolf everything that
he told me and the more Wolf is told, the angrier he becomes.
“Those bastards. So you are here to take her to him? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Wolf gets up and kicks the chair and it smashes into the wall. I jump slightly, not expecting this level of anger from him. Kaden and Storm both jump to their feet and stand in front of me.
“I’m going to see him. He is momma’s family, he is my family. Please, if these Brothers Of
Mayhem and the mafia are truly after me, then I am safer with Chief than I am here. I’m sorry,
Wolf, I have to do this. Please, you can’t protect me, but I know Chief can. So I am going. Chief
has every right like you do to know his granddaughter died and that I am safe. What I need

from you is simple. You find this club and you see what they know. Please, dad.” I say and he turns and looks at me with tears streaming down his face.
He walks to me and I know he won’t hurt me; he hugs me and kisses my head.
“You just called me dad. I have waited so long to hear it from you. You are the only thing I have left from your momma. I loved her and I still do Courtney. I can keep you safe, but you are right. Chief can protect you while we find out the truth. I didn’t want to tell any of you this. But there is a rat here in the club. The Brothers Of Mayhem have been seen recently and things have been happening. If you leave, you have to go when no one suspects anything. So Kaden and Storm will both go with you. Once it is safe, you come back here. You hear me Courtney. I want your word you will come back to me,” Wolf says and I nod my head and hug him tighter.
“I have called you dad before. I don’t think you heard it when I called you it.” I say, and he
simply chuckles at me as he hugs me.
“I promise, once they and the mafia are dealt with, I will come home. I have to think what is
best for my baby and right now I need to do this. We will head out tomorrow morning after I
have been to the pre–natal appointment. It won’t look suspicious with me being escorted. Then
we will leave from there. I will keep you updated and please stay safe. I can’t lose you either.” I
say to him and he smiles at me and runs his knuckles down my cheek that isn’t red.
“You are so much like her. Stay safe spitfire and I want you to call me often and tell Chief I am
truly sorry for what happened to his family and granddaughter.” He says, and I nod my head
and swallow the lump in my throat.
This is for the best. Chief has the answers and I know we can both be each other’s comfort.
Tomorrow I will head to see the last member of my momma’s family and I hope that the
people who are after me get their just desserts and I will be the one to see them fall.
