“What the fuck is happening?” Priest exclaimed.
This is exhausting.
I rose, shaking my head because it was obvious nobody else had the balls to intervene.
In two moves, I had Snyder by the shoulders, peeling him off Sabbath until I had him pinned up against the wall by the neck. At the same time, Warrant manhandled Sabbath to his feet, standing between him and Snyder as Sabbath grabbed and gripped at his aching throat.
“Calm down,” I whispered. “He’s not worth it.”
“You’re out of line, Snyder, and you’ve been out of your mind for a while. I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with you, but I’m done. You’re out. I don’t give a shit about what anyone else thinks. Either step down as my VP, or I fucking throw you out of the club. Your choice.”
Fuck.If Snyder left, the whole club would fucking explode. He was the only one keeping us altogether as Sabbath quickly ripped us apart.
Snyder began to shrug off his cut, but I wasn’t having that shit.
“You may be Prez of this club, Sabbath, but you don’t make the decisions of who gets to leave it. If anyone is fucked up in the head right now, it’s you. You know the rules, put that shit to a vote. Voting must be unanimous, so if the club wants him out, he’ll be out. But you don’t get to make that decision for us.”
My arms crossed in signified defiance as Sabbath tried to badger me with his cold, unforgiving gaze. I wasn’t budging. Not this time.
“Fine,” he shouted, throwing up his hands. “Put it to a vote. All those in favor of Snyder stepping down as VP and leaving the Lewd Outlaws MC forever say, aye.”
Crickets.
“All those opposed?” I asked, not removing my arms from their standoffish pose. “Say nay. I’ll start. Nay.”
Collectively, all of my brothers said nay. The only ones hesitating were Warrant, Skid, and Priest. All three were Sabbath’s little trio, loyal to him even though he didn’t deserve the loyalty.
They each met his eyes, but reluctantly said, “Nay.”
Nobody wanted Snyder to go. Just him.
“Fuck you all!” Sabbath growled, gripping the table with his hands and flipping it, almost crushing Ranger who sat on the opposite end. He then stomped out of the room, leaving everyone completely stunned.
But not me.
I lived for this shit. The rest of the club didn’t know what the council did.
Sabbath was fucking us all over, and now that we all knew just how volatile and heinous he truly was, it’d be rather hard to gain our loyalty back.
No.
He may be the Prez of the Lewd Outlaws MC, but I had a sinking suspicion he wouldn’t be holding that patch for long.
Chapter Two
Shasta
A large crash made me jump. Then the shouting came. A few minutes later, Sabbath appeared in the doorway, eyes wide, puffing and huffing like a wolf about to blow my house down.
He was raging, and I didn’t like the way he was looking at me.
“Get undressed,” he demanded.
“No, Sabbath…”
“I said get undressed.”
When I didn’t immediately make a move to remove my clothing, he slammed the door, marching straight to me.
