The sunlight beating through the window woke me up, I groaned softly stretching out my limbs looking around the room groggily the wide screen TV had on the far wall from the bed had been turned off Reaper was passed out on the couch his mouth open snoring softly half covered with a blanket. I only really got a glimpse of his chest tattoos last night I didnt want to get caught gaping at him he had the club logo tattooed onto his chest a skull surrounded by flames and black roses with L.O.M etched underneath. My eyes followed his chiseled abs down into a V just where his pants started I felt a blush creep up my cheeks.

Hopping out of bed I put on my boots before wandering out to find the kitchen to get some coffee I came face to face with an older looking lady kind of plump but not fat with grey streaks running through her dark locks and deep brown eyes "morning dear you must be the famous Isabella/Wolf the boys kept talking about last night" she held her hand out for me I shook it smiling gently "hi its uhm nice to meet you" she smiled "I'm Adalynn Jacksons old lady" she winked at me before I could respond Kassi came bursting in "Morning Ellie! I know your name is Isabella but I'm still gonna call you Ellie cause you're Ellie to me ok?" I laughed at her "sure sure you're in a good mood today"

She dragged me to the table that sat some other girls "this is Emma she's dad's girlfriend"she pointed to another older lady with golden hair a petite figure and blue eyes she waved at me sweetly "this is Mandy she's Stone's old lady he's on a job you haven't met him yet he'll be back today which is why she's here" Mandy was younger closer to my age of mid twenties light brown hair and hazel eyes she had a full figure and a heavy baby bump "Guys this is Isabella or Ellie as I know her" they smiled and murmered their hellos I took the glass of juice Adalynn handed me "she's gonna be Reapers old lady" I choked juice flying up my nose "sorry what? No! No I'm not his old lady" I gasped.

Kassi nudged me into a chair "Ells my brother doesn't bring just any girl to his room! Actually I don't think he's even had a girl in his room now that I think of it! Unlike my other brother Joshua or Bolts as you know him who sleeps with anything with a pulse! Anyways! What happened last night?" Her eyes were gleaming, I felt myself blush squirming in my seat "uhm nothing we just ate and watched a movie I fell asleep and he must've slept on the couch cause that's where he was when I woke up" the girls all awh'd exchanging looks.

Before I could say anymore a group of club whores wandered in their leader a girl with bleached blonde hair and awful roots sauntered up to me, she stopped when she noticed I was wearing one of Reapers shirts and his boxers "well well look girls we have a new member to our fold" she sneered Kassi scoffed "piss off Kandy she's gonna be an old lady not a whore" I thought Kandys eyes would fly out of her head I looked her up and down she wore a lime green boob tube that barely covered her chest and a black napkin of a skirt with of course the classic hooker heels.

"Well you make sure you stay away from Reaper he's mine" she warned flicking her hair over her shoulder, I clenched my fists in temper locking my jaw down so as not to say something I'd regret "Kandy get a grip my brother has never even touched you!" Kassi spat "actually I just came from his room we didnt exactly get much sleep" she sneered Kassi opened her mouth to correct her but I held my hand up silencing her.

Behind Kandy and her posse Bolts and a couple of other boys wandered into the kitchen I smirked standing up from my chair clutching it tightly "that's funny" I started "because I spent the whole night in his bed and I didnt see you there once guess I must have slept through all the so called sex huh?" Her face fell she shuffled on her cheap heels "and another thing" I picked the chair up off of the ground smashing it across her face she landed on the floor across the kitchen with a thump "next time you piss off a girl you might wanna find out how comfortable she is with violence first" I spat throwing the chair at her.

"Oooooooooh SHIT!" the boys roared out laughing as the girls picked Kandy up off the floor she clutched her face blood flowing from her broken nose "you'll regret this bitch"

I stormed up to face her "threaten me again bitch and next time I wont stop at breaking your nose understand?" She nodded shakily letting the girls drag her out of the kitchen. Bolts shook his head pouring himself a coffee "yo Wolf remind me never to piss you off yeah?" He winked. I shrugged my shoulders grabbed a cup of coffee and walked back to Reapers room.

He was sitting up on the couch rubbing his eyes when I walked in "hey how'd you sleep?" I handed him the coffee "alright" he grunted "you know you didnt have to take the couch you could've slept on the bed"

"The couch was fine" he grunted again, I nodded getting some clothes out of my bag and going to the bathroom to change. Well this is a far cry from the Reaper who kissed and cuddled me only the day before I slipped on my jeans and t shirt folding up his clothes and neatly leaving them on the counter top I tugged my hair into controlled waves around my shoulders and brushed my teeth, when I came back out he had drunk his coffee and was dressed "sorry I'm not really a morning person" he ran his hand through his brown hair nervously "so uh what do you want to do today?"

I stepped closer to him watching how his eyes followed my every move flicking up and down my body "well my day job is probably still a crime scene if I haven't been fired by now and I dont have any hits coming up that I need to study so I guess I'm all yours" I placed a hand gently on his chest gazing up at him intently.

His eyes met mine "uh ok cool well let's go somewhere then" he led me down the hall to the main room of the clubhouse "brrooooo! You won't BELIEVE what Wolf did earlier!" Whippet nearly tripped over a stool in his rush to get to us. He looked down at me expectantly one of his eyebrows raised I just shrugged on my jacket grabbed my helmet smiled at him and walked out towards my bike I heard Whippet and Bolt mumbling to Reaper behind me.

"Isabella?" I spun around Jackson was walking towards me he hands in his pockets "in spite of everything you might believe I dont think you are a monster. I think it takes a strong woman to survive what you did and I'm glad to call you my daughter. I know you're here because Kassi is your friend and whatever is between you and Reaper but I would like to get the chance to get to know you better if you would allow me too? I loved your mother once and had I known about you back then I would have came for you and your life would have been different"

I looked around me blinking away the tears threatening to spill over "I've never had a family before" I whispered "I mean the others were technically my family but everything was a competition I never trusted them or felt safe I was always on edge. I- I feel safe here" I wiped away a tear from my cheek Jackson pulled me into a tight hug "you're family Isabella and we look after our own you dont need to be afraid anymore"

Over his shoulder I saw Reaper walking outside his signature smirk on his face what's got him so happy? "Hey you ready?" He asked once he got closer "everything ok?" Jackson let me go his hands still on my arms "yeah everything's good. You guys have fun be back early party tonight lots to celebrate" he smiled and walked away.

I swung my leg over my bike "so where we off too?" Reaper straddled his bike "you'll see if you can keep up" he joked I bit back a laugh putting on my helmet and following him out of the lot.

Maybe I was afraid of running in a pack because I hadn't found the right one?
