Elena’s pale green eyes snap to mine in surprise. “Why does he want us?”
“Let’s go up there and see.” I grin, linking my hand in hers and leading her up to the stage. She looks confused, but trusts me enough to stand by my side.
“Tonight we are making it official for Suit and his old lady, Elena!” Prez calls out, and the crowd cheers. “Their marriage was arranged for our alliance with the Bratva, but anyone with eyes can see it was a lot more than that.” He turns to me. “Elena, I speak for everyone when I say, welcome to the Serpents of Chaos MC family. You’ve been one of us since you walked into this clubhouse. Nothing but pure loyalty and class.”
“Thank you, Prez.” She beams.
“If Suit didn’t want you, there was a line of men waiting to take you from him,” Prez jokes, and the crowd laughs.
I, on the other hand, don’t. “Anyone tries, and I’ll fucking end them.”
“Calm down, Suit.” Prez smirks, clapping his hand on my shoulder. “She’s all yours.”
Elena smiles up at me, her gaze now softening. I love you, she mouths.
“I love you more, princess.”
War hands me her leather cut. I lift it in the air so everyone can see it, then show it to Elena. It reads ‘Property of Suit’ underneath the Serpents of Chaos MC emblem. I then spin it around so she can see ‘Princess’ written on the front with a little patch of a crown.
I feel nothing but pure possessiveness and slide it onto her.
“Elena, I’m sorry it took so long for me to realize that you are the best thing that ever happened to me. You’ve been mine since the day I made you my wife, but now this makes it official in the eyes of the club.”
“Better late than never,” she replies, smiling widely.
I pull her toward me and kiss her hungrily, staking my claim in front of the whole club. The kiss is pure possession.
A claiming one.
I want everyone to know that she is mine, and I am hers.
I don’t want any other women ever again.
ELENA
“Serpents, show her how we welcome her,” Prez calls out, and Suit turns me around to face the crowd.
I had no idea they made such a show when giving a woman her property patch.
I love it.
Everyone is cheering so loudly, genuinely happy to welcome me into the fold officially. I’ve never felt more special in my entire life. I’m both surprised and confused when all the men start to line up in front of me.
“They’re all going to pledge their loyalty to you,” Suit explains, staring down at me proudly. “I should have given you this from the start, Elena.”
Our story played out how it was meant to.
First in line is Angel. He steps forward and presses a soft kiss to my forehead. I hear the women collectively gasp. “Protect you with my last dying breath. I’d die for you. And I’ll kick Suit’s ass whenever you need me to.”
I laugh. “Thank you, Angel. I’m so glad you came into my life. You truly are an angel to me.”
His dark eyes soften, and then he shares a look over my head with Suit.
Suit’s fingers tighten on my hips, and he sucks in a sharp breath. I can feel the emotion inside of him that he usually contains.
Angel leaves, and Bones steps up in his place, looking at me with his playful blue eyes. He takes my hand and presses a kiss to my knuckles. “Protect you with my life. And anytime you want to watch us in the forest again, I’ll pretend I don’t notice.” He smiles, flashing me his straight white teeth, then leaves.
Oh my God.
