Chapter 74
Olivia’s POV-
Megan and I looped arms together as we walked towards the common room. We could already see the
lights flashing, for the disco. The music was playing low, it wasn’t loud yet. It would get turned up louder
once I arrived.
Megan was wearing a tiny red dress which was going to drive every single man crazy tonight. She didn’t
have ample hips like me, but she did have a nice rack and long slender legs. It was enough to drive any man crazy. I was in a tiny black dress, one that barely covered my ass. I knew the moment I walked into that room, Daniel would be on me and he sure as shit would not let me go tonight, not for a single second.
Wolf whistles sounded the moment we stepped foot into the common room. That was closely followed by
a growl and the sound of boots stomping towards me. I looked up to see Daniel forcing his way through the crowd of men, eyeing both me and Megan. I noticed Benny close behind Daniel. Daniel bent a little to
pick me up, but I stepped back, making him raise his eyebrow at me. I stepped closer to him, wrapping my arm’s around his neck and pulling him down to whisper in his ear, “No picking me up till later, or you will
ruin your surprise.”
He growled low, pulling me closer to him. “You better be wearing underwear underneath that dress.”
I giggled, “Guess you will have to wait till later to find out.”
Daniel groaned, “Cruel punishment, when you have more surprises to come.”
“Not cruel, just a reward for all the hard work you put in to make this birthday absolutely amazing for me,” I
whispered.
He moved closer to my ear and whispered, “Do you have any idea how excited I am now?”
“Very, because I am too,” I smirked.
“Alright, that is enough you, two, the birthday girl needs to open her mass of presents and eat dinner. You all do, before dancing and drinking the night away,” Beth called out, pushing through the crowd. That was
the first time I had noticed my dad in the crowd, he was smiling at us.
We headed off to sit, and then the flurry of presents came. That was honestly the most draining part. I got so many things, I honestly had no idea what to do with it all. From designer bags to red–bottom shoes to first edition books to a safe to some of the latest computer parts. Honestly, everything I loved, especially the books and computer parts, but I didn’t know whether to cry or be happy. It was a little different from what I was used to. Okay, a lot fucking different. Daniel had brought me a new travel set, three different
sized suitcases, a weekender bag, and a matching wash bag. There were even a few unusual gifts; a
throwing knife set, a Beretta 92 with a holster. Dad even got me a few more presents.
As soon as I finished opening the presents, we all had dinner. I just want to get drunk and dance at this point. The one thing I was not wrong about was Daniel not being able to take his hands off of me. He has

not let go of me since he saw me walk into the common room. He has had his arm firmly around my waist
the entire time.
With dinner finished, the drinking started, and the music got turned up. That was when I started being given shots. Apparently it was customary for the birthday girl to drink twenty shots. Mike, Daniel, Devil and Phoenix all did it when they turned eighteen. I wasn’t about to back down from the challenge. They were shocked that I managed to do it without looking the least bit wasted. Only the guys had gotten to the twentieth shot still standing; Phoenix couldn’t do it. A joke was made about me having my dad’s liver. He could consume large quantities of alcohol without seeming the least bit drunk, even though he was feeling the effects of alcohol.
Megan and Benny were thankfully left alone. It made me happy to know that they had left them completely alone. They had friendly conversations, but that was all. I guess they didn’t want to piss off the birthday girl at her party, given when they had already seen what she could do. So, they listened when I told them that Megan and Benny were all limits.
The night went on amazingly well. I danced so much my feet were starting to hurt. Daniel, of course, never left my side. They brought the cake out and sang Happy birthday to me. The moment I blew my candles out, the music and lights came back on for all of a minute. Everyone froze. Then the emergency lighting came out. I glanced up at Daniel and then my dad. I could see their worried expression. “What’s going on?” the women whispered to their bikers.
Fear and worry swarmed around me. It was crushing. On instinct, I moved to where my presents were, and got the handgun I had been gifted. Daniel stuck to me like glue, and I could feel my dad’s eyes on me. Right, can I get all the ladies, Benny and Megan, you both as well, to go to the safe room till we know what is going on. The rest of you, we need to get to the armory,” Prez’s voice called out.
“I want to help,” I said.
“Princess, no, it is your birthday, and you have been drinking. It would be safe for you to be wandering around in this low light with a gun. Especially because you have never been in a scenario like this,” Dad
responded.
Daniel nodded his agreement, “You can keep that gun, but go to the safe room, until your father, or I come and get you. Plus, your friends are going to be worried sick, they have never been in a situation like this
either.”
“Carnage, make sure she gets to the safe room,” Prez ordered Daniel.
