However, I had a few things I needed to accomplish as soon as my boots hit U.S. soil again.

And one of those was confronting my sister.

Because I’d been told about the way she’s been acting, and that’s not okay by any means.

The second thing I need to accomplish would be apologizing to Raine.

I saw where she messaged me.

Saw where she emailed me.

Fuck, even saw all of the missed phone calls.

But after what happened that second week in, after we found the team that had been butchered, and then the subsequent events that befell that incident, I just didn’t have it in me.

But I would be making all of that right again. Oh, fucking yes, I was.

I couldn’t wait to lie down in my fucking bed.

Enjoy a damn juicy double freaking cheeseburger. Also, maybe a large fry and a strawberry shake. The good kind of shake that came with whipped cream and a cherry on top.

I was thankful this mission and subsequent missions we had to partake in were done, and we were able to go home to kick back for a few weeks. Hopefully. Because I fucking needed it.

My body wasn’t as young as it once was.

However, knowing our luck, we would get called back a lot sooner than was planned.

Such was the life of a Navy SEAL.

Food. Shower. Sleep. Finding her and making her mine.

In that order, or maybe shower then the rest but it was all happening today.

When I stepped off that plane and tossed my goodbyes to the team members living in this area, I was glad to see my brothers.

Normally, I left my truck here, however, while I was gone, I had Clip take it to the shop so it could have some work done.

Which included a new exhaust, and a new paint job. But mainly, I had running boards put on my truck. I knew Raine loved riding in my truck, but she hated having to jump a mile every single time to get up in it.

So, instead of driving home in my truck, I would be riding home on my bike and in my kutte.

I had a few more years in the military then I was free to live how I chose and with who I chose to spend the rest of my life with.

We just had to have that talk, and I had to get her to forgive me for not talking back to her.

The moment the doors to the plane opened, I was out of it. My eyes searched everyone gathered near the fence.

And upon seeing my brothers there waiting for me, I grinned at them all and shook hands.

I was fucking glad to be home.

I put on my kutte that declared me a member of Wrath MC; this was my life, my brotherhood. I wasn’t leaving it.

Stepping to Storm, I asked, “Where is she?”

He gave me that all-knowing smirk, “At the clubhouse getting everything ready for tonight.”

Tonight, was our monthly dinner at the clubhouse. Thank fuck I made it home in time.
