Kylie Bray (Love, Hate and Billions) novel Chapter 64

I take my position as soldier on the left of Zero. Revving my engine.

My blood brother sashays his bike next to me as the others get into riding position.

It is my first BIG ride as a free bird, well as free as I could be.

“Does he know?” Killer asks me as he slips his helmet on.

I watch Beggar moving down the house closer to us, knowing she will be riding with Killer today and give her a chin lift.

“No. And you are not going to tell him,” I say to him, the warning evident in my cold voice.

It took me a few weeks to get used to the name Killer, but even I can say it's grown on me.

If he can accept me as Frost the least I could do is return the favor.

“Five years is a long time to live a lie.”

I laugh at that one, as he starts his bike just as Beggar swings her long legs over and holds his waist.

“Isn't the best memories based on one,” I state, as my eyes track all the others getting on their bikes.

“Storm's changed,” He informs me.

“So have I, he needs me here, he might not see it but I do.” I put my feet in position and rev my bike louder just as I spot Mercy jumping on hers.

“And when he stops needing you, then what? Once a Satan Sniper always a Satan Sniper.”

“Yeah, yeah, so you keep saying, when Diamond gets back she can be a Satan Sniper too.”

He chuckles with a shake of his head, moving away from me and taking his position at the front next to River, our president.

Our people are all in position. I turn my head giving Zero a clear signal,

then we ride.

There was a time in my life where I never craved the speed of the bike. I never needed the power of the throttle.

It was a long time ago.

People look at me now, and they see a killer, they look at me and see the monster, but no one knows that I am much worse.
