Zero and Beauty's Breath (A Satan Sniper's Motorcycle Club Series Book 3 - 4) novel Chapter 76

A lot of things can happen at once. People die every day. Babies born every minute. But what are the chances that we lose more than our share.

It is the day after I killed Zero’s brother. The day after Kylie Bray made international news.

“Right now, we can’t disclose any information but it seems that they have arrested Ms Bray for the death of her stepbrother, Billionaire, Vincent Stone. One of the hotel residents claimed to have heard numerous gunshots before they phoned the police,” The reporter says from the TV.

Everyone in the clubhouse apart from Killer, Storm and Zero were sitting in front of the TV. Killer was gone to Kylie. Storm was working on getting her out and Zero, was mourning his brother’s death.

I was going to spend the day packing. The main members had a meeting and suggested that I spent some time on the road. River assured me that they weren’t kicking me out.

It still feels as though I am already an outsider. But I didn’t voice that out loud to River. Anybody with one eye could see that he wasn’t happy with his choices.

All that came to a standstill when I got a message from Deno to put the TV on. It all went according to plan. There was only one name left to scratch off the list.

“What do you think is going to happen to Kylie?” Zero asks from behind me and I am as stunned to see him here as the rest of them.

I do wise to remain silent.

“Storm is working on a deal,” Spade says from the floor.

That is the last I hear and see of Zero until the next day.

My morning starts off with a run, and the remainder of it is spent doing chores and ducking Zero. When the sun sets, I know no one is going to be looking for me.

I sneak out through the back door.

My walk up the hill and down to the other side by the lake is quick. I don’t want to catch the attention of the Enforcer.

Everyone deserves to mourn.

I’ve never mourned for my mother when she died.

I cried for my babies, all three of them, now gone. I mourned for myself a time or two, but the rest I let slide.

"How have you been," Zero asks and I don’t stiffen when he comes to sit next to me. His voice is so close but the distance is threatening.

"Living, I won't stay long. Killer sent a few guys from National to fetch me, we’ll leave tonight."

“Leave, ha.” He drops his head in the cradle of bent legs. I have never seen him like this. What have I done?

“I’m sorry it had to end this way.”

“I still love you, Beauty.” He lifts his head as his broken face mirrors my helpless one.

“I know, but we were just a moment.” I close my eyes and take a heavy breath.

He lifts the gun, I noticed he had when he stopped next to me. He puts the gun against my head. The chrome metal touching my temple. I don’t open my eyes for a few seconds longer.

"I should kill you right now," He whispers those words in my ear.

I open my eyes now and look at the sky.

How beautiful is it? The reflection of the moon a wondrous sight.

"My death by your hands will be like this moon touching this water."
