Devil's Riot MC refuse to back down to anyone.
Take a dive into this short story to discover
where Horse and Kenny's story began!
Horse
Years ago, I lost the one woman who was able to rock my world. When she disappeared, I stopped caring, doing whatever, whenever.
One thing I never planned on was seeing her face in all of these women who meant nothing to me.
No one could ever compare to her, no matter how much they tried. Her ghost continues to haunt me until this very day.
I thought relocating with the club to start our new charter would be the change I needed to move on with my life. But what happens when I see her again? Only this time she isn’t a ghost.
She’s flesh and bone.
Thorn
I told her when we first met that we couldn’t be more than friends with benefits. It was a great idea until she ghosted me. That’s when the puzzle pieces fit together, and I realized she had more than just my dick in knots about her.
The girl claimed my heart through and through. No one would tell me shit about her, or at least, they didn’t until shit hit the fan.
Today is another story. Today she’s back and I’ll fight to prove she’s mine, even if I have to face the devil himself in order to save her.
Izzy
For as long as I can remember, I've only felt one thing - pain. It consumes every part of me and I just want it to end. Enough has happened over the years and I'm ready to make it all stop.
The night I lay out my plan and am fully prepared to end my life - he stops me. His act is simple, offering me his hand but in that, he gave me so much hope.
While Twister may have won the battle, he didn't win the war. My demons are a constant nuisance and I'm left wondering, will I survive and finally find peace? Or did I make the biggest mistake in my life accepting his help?
Cleo
No one should have to face the devil more than once in their lifetime - yet I've had to stare deep into his soulless eyes twice.
If you ask me, I was left broken beyond repair. At least, that's what I thought. Rage didn't, though.
They say love conquers all, but how will that be true when he hears everything? The veil will be removed and Rage will see every emotional and physical scar that marks my mind, spirit and soul. This man has been my rock since the moment I met him, and I just wonder if our love is strong enough to weather the storm that's headed our way.
Connors
When life knocks you down and you get right back up again. That’s what you’re supposed to do, right? You don’t allow the monsters to tear you down.
Never did I expect to see my life where it is now. I might seem to have my life together on the outside, but on the inside I’m a catastrophe.
I don’t trust easily, and I refuse to allow men in my life. There’s a good reason for that, though. I haven’t been with a man in over five years. I wasn’t ever planning on it. In my mind, I was fully prepared to live my life with just my son.
It all blew up into smoke when two men swept into my life as I knew it. They refused to give up on me, and now my past has collided with the present. Can we get through this, or will they wipe their hands of me? It’s not like I don’t already know I’m worthless. It was drilled into my mind for years.
Hades
They call me Hades for one reason, and one reason only. I’m the one who sovereigns rule around here. I sit on a chair made up of skulls in the depths of Hell, ready to add more to my extravagant throne if they deserve it.
My life was filled with nothing but pain until I met her. In a split second I realized the pain has only just begun. Could this woman who captured my soul be the one destined to control Satan himself?
She doesn’t know the power she holds over me and I doubt she ever will. We went through a barbarous experience beside one another, somehow coming out the other side of it.
My question is this: can she survive the searing flames beside me?
Love is agonizing as it is grand. For she will be my queen and I will stand behind her as her king. While I’ve never been certain of much in my life, I’m certain of this - together we’ll conquer everything that stands in our way, or we’ll allow it to consume us both.
Badger
There’s a massive difference between wanting something, and needing it. That was a rude awakening the first time I saw her. Even though I wanted her, I refused to allow myself to have her.
There were two reasons for that choice. One was a promise I made to myself long ago. The second is because she’s off limits. No matter how much I wanted her I couldn’t give into my desires.
No matter how intriguing I find this woman, I simply cannot cross this line. That is - until secrets are revealed.
They rock my world and bring up memories I kept locked away in the depths of my mind, only allowing them to slip out on the darkest of days.
My question is this: Can she handle the heinous truth of my past? Regardless of the answer I’m unsure if I’ll be able to keep a grip on her as they come out from the shadows, revealing my truth to everyone important to me.
Ally
When it comes to absolution, there are are two things you must do to find it- facing your fears, and moving forward from your past.
Honestly, it isn't for me. I'll never find it because I'm a piece of flesh who's a shell of a woman. In a sense, I'm merely a ghost.
In all my life, I've only ever felt peace once.
Although, I'm sure I'll never feel it again since the one who brought it into my life has his own demons. Monsters that are almost as horrific as mine.
I only wonder . . . if a second chance came along . . . would it be possible for us both to find the salvation we deserve, or are we eternally damned by those who hurt us?
If only time were on our side. If that was the case, I think I'd know the answer.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Can he keep her
Or will she go
Only one way to find out
If Horse can hold on to his bride
She wasn't mine to love, but I do.
K-9
My brother died years ago and left behind a woman, Annabel. No one knows the feelings I have for her. I’ve had them for years, even when my brother was alive, but she was his woman and I’d never overstep. I’d be crossing a line, a line I wouldn’t be able to come back from.
Now years have passed and I find out she's moving without even telling me.
She gave birth to my brother’s child and I hate her. I hate her so much, I loathe her very existence.
I’m torn between destroying everything dear to her and trapping her in my arms.
Only, while I try to figure everything out with Annabel, things with the club have never been more dangerous and threats are coming from every corner.
Red
She came into my life when I least expected it. Her delicate touch calmed me and I didn’t even know I wanted her until I saw her eyes. They were fractured and vulnerable, and I knew I had to have her.
The moment she looked at me and I saw her demons up close and personal, all thoughts of staying calm went out the window.
Beaten and looking for safety she didn’t know what she was asking for. I’d give her what she needed, but I vowed to take what I want—her.
The past always finds a way back.
Brass
Everything around the club is changing. Faster than any of us are ready for. There’s a storm brewing and it’s not gonna be easy to ride out.
When she comes into our lives it’s not easy seeing her. She’s a blast from the past, but there’s more to it. But what that is I’ve yet to figure out.
One thing I do know for sure is she’s here and history always has a way of repeating itself.
Life has a way of making you yield, but it won’t stop me from getting what I want most.
Striker
The first time I saw her, I knew she was pure. Sweet and shy, it works for her. She’s not the type I usually go for, but that didn’t stop me from wanting her.
She didn’t come around often, so it was easy for me to ignore her. Until I couldn’t anymore.
Danger stalks the night and threatens her in a way that draws us in. To protect her, I have to choose, but will I be able to live with it or do I walk?
