Reaper's War (Creed MC Book 1)

Ch 1: One's Betrayal Is Another's Shattered Heart

You're probably wandering why I took off at 17. My story is not the prettiest. It has its' dark moments where I would have rather died than be here. One look into Everleigh and Blade's eyes changes my mind every time. Lets start from the beginning, shall we?

You see, I always thought my dad was my dad. Come to find out he wasn't. I found out when I looked at my birth certificate and my adoption certificate right before my birthday. In order enroll for my college online classes; I need my birth certificate. Mom and dad always keep all our important documents in the top drawer in the filing cabinet in Dad's office in the house. The adoption papers happened to be right behind it. When I read them over and over making sure I am seeing and reading correctly. Numb is the first emotion I feel, hurt comes soon after, and anger hits my soul like a truck. How could they hide something like this from me?

Does Kaiser know? Would he still love me the same way? Will he still care? Will I still be his sister in his eyes? Those are some of the things that crossed my mind. He was my best friend and my brother. What would I do if he doesn't look at me the same? How would I live without my protector if he was to look at me differently? I don't think I could.

The last emotion I feel is betrayed. I have been lied to my whole life. Not a month or a few years. No, my entire fucking life. My entire existences! I hop on the Harley my dad gotten me and I speed down the gravel driveway. Rocks begins to fling everywhere. You can hear some hitting the trees that line the driveway. 

Did I care?  Not one fucking bit. I am hurt. Mostly, I am scared.

Why am I scared?

Simple, I am afraid my entire family wouldn't love me the same. I would be no one to them. To say that didn't hurt would be a lie. My dad, my mother, my brothers, and this MC; they're my family. Well they were. But, I don't think after this, I'll have a family left. I'm afraid I'll see disgust in their eyes. Would my family be disgusted with me? Would my family see me differently? That's what hurts the most. The unknown.

I watch as a prospect ran inside. If I have to honestly guess, he's probably telling my parents I was just now hauling ass down the long driveway. I pull up at the clubhouse's front steps....

Literally.

"Mom! What the fuck is this!" I yell out.

Busting through the clubhouse's front doors, I can tell my face is hot; I'm fuming. It doesn't say Bryant Archer is my father on my birth certificate.... Duke Jenning is listed. My adoption papers say Bryant Archer legally adopted me.

"Mac, what is the matter?" Mom answers.

Tears are falling off my chin as I thrust the crumpled and tear-stained documents into her chest. When she opens the crumpled mess of papers. She lets out a gasp. Her eyes go the size of golf balls. It is almost comical. Except, my world just changed forever. Because her reaction tells me everything I need to know. That my whole life happened to be a big fucking lie.

I don't understand how Bear could not be my father. WE have the same eyes! The same shade and all. I was hoping this paper was a sick joke. But, no mom's reaction proved my life has been a big fat ass horrible lie.

"Let me explain." Mom pleads with me.

"Someone better explain to me! Why does it say dad adopted me!" I scream out at the top of my lungs.

"Princess...." Dad starts of calling me.

I want to run into my daddy's arm and wake up to this being a dream. My life has been taken completely away from me. What I thought was real happens to be the opposite. I thought the truth was yet, a lie. One big fat ugly lie.
