Kaden

Chapter 8

After I finished my mac and cheese, I was escorted back to the room by two men that ignored everything I said or asked. Before they left, they made sure the room was clear and checked the windows to make sure they were locked. They gave me one last look before closing the door and leaving Toulouse and I by ourselves.

The only thing that was on my mind was Kaden. Which is crazy because he shouldn't be. He's the reason why I'm in pain. I mean technically he isn't the main reason, but still I was here because of him. I should be at home with Toulouse, cooking dinner, and studying my notes. But instead, I have these weird feelings and emotions running through my body whenever I'm near him. I just need to keep reminding myself who he is and what he is.

Kaden

Kaden sat in his chair during church listening to his brothers talk about the recent attack on Emma. Just thinking about what these fuckers did to her made his blood boil. Who could lay a hand on someone so precious was beyond him.

"She isn't one of us, but since my son has expressed his interest in her, we protect our own. Although this isn't the only reason, but she's also an innocent woman who was beaten for no reason. We will seek retaliation for this brothers. All those in favor say aye."

Kaden watched with pride as the room filled with ayes and the hands of his brothers and father went into the air.

"Thank you, brothers. I can't wait to nail these fuckers for touching her," Kaden shouting feeling the fire in his eyes.

"Does she remember who did this to her?" Squid asked. The man took a big sip of water and slammed his drink on the counter. Kaden knows who he thinks it is. Kaden could feel the anger roll off in waves from the other side of the room.

Two years ago, Squid fell in love with a woman named Rebecca. She was a wonderful old lady to Squid and always kept him in line. She was loved by everyone in the club. During one of the fights over turf with the Devil's Riders, Rebecca lost her life. It was one of the worst murders The Chained Misfits has ever had to deal with. She was kidnapped, raped, and murdered. The Devil's Riders returned her body on the sidewalk in front of the clubhouse. It was a sad day for the club but Squid, he lost everything that day. The club still never got retaliation. Kaden knew what Squid was hoping for. Squid was hoping for the green light on the Devil's Riders. And god damnit, Kaden was ready to give it to him. Kaden himself knew it was the Devil's Riders. He just wanted Emma to confirm what he already knows.

"No, she doesn't. I will ask her when church is dismissed. Doctors said she had significant head trauma. But no one is to ask her about that night. She's mine. I will find out." Kaden made a point to look at Randy when he said this. Just so Randy knew who she belonged to.

"All right, church is dismissed. Go get yourselves a drink. Tony is ready for you boys," Kaden watched his father hit the table with the gavel and stood.

Kaden stood and started towards his room where his beautiful Emma was. He wanted Emma to give him the confirmation of the fuckers that laid their hands on her. He was also ready for the little kitten to show him her claws because he knew she would be pissed. It actually turned him on, and he decided then he was a sick fuck because he knew she was in no shape for what he had for her.

Emma

I was in the middle of playing string with Toulouse, when Kaden walked through the door. He opened the door and closed it behind him. The minute the door opened, Toulouse ran and hid under the bed. She's been very uneasy since being here. I can only imagine what it was like when the men grabbed her. Oh god, she must have been terrified.

"How are you feeling?" Kaden took a seat in the chair across from me, clearly keeping his distance. Smart man.

"I am fine. I would also like to go home. You know back to my normal life?"

"Sorry kitten. I can't let you. They know where you live by now and that would only put you in further danger."

I starred at Kaden real hard. Looking for signs that he might be lying but I couldn't find any. I know Kaden feels bad for what happened to me but he can't blame himself. It happened and now it is time to move on.

"So what does this mean for me?" I shift in my seat because I feel his stare on me. Normally I hate attention. I do anything to prevent it. But from him, I feel comfortable.

"You can move around the clubhouse however you like. When you are here, you are safe. If you wish to leave, you will have company to make sure you are safe. You did not deserve what happened to you. But I will make sure they pay for what they did to you. I will find them and take care of it. Do you think you can tell me anything from that night?" Kaden reached forward and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear and grabbed my hand. I looked up into his pleading eyes.

I could feel the tears in my eyes as I begin to remember how hopeless I felt during my attack. My tears betrayed me and fell down my cheeks. "All I remember were two guys. They were wearing leather jackets like you guys wear. And their names, they had names."

Kaden lifted his hand and wiped my tears away. He didn't rush me and allowed me to take time to pull myself together. After a while Kaden finally spoke, "What were the names kitten?"

I could feel the tension roll off him. He was waiting and anticipating this moment. Part of me felt like he already knew. He was just waiting for my confirmation.

"I don't remember their names. Maybe Skippy and Rip? I-I'm not sure. My head is hurting. I think I need to lay down Kaden." My head started pounding and black spots started to appear.

"Ok kitten, let me help you." Kaden slowly helped me up and pulled back the sheets and slowly let me down. He pulled off my shoes and pulled the covers up. He walked over to the blinds and closed them to make the room darker.

"Thank you, Kaden," I whispered before he closed the door.

"You're welcome, Kitten." Kaden closed the door and Toulouse jumped on the bed with me and I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
