The Biker’s Mafia Princess (Angel and Savage)

Angel POV.

I sit on the end of the bed looking at the two pink lines, and nothing is registering. How is this possible? I mean, I know how, but still.

Can I go through that again? What happens if I lose it again? What if ...

"Angel, get out of your head. I know what you're thinking. Nothing is going to happen. You will be fine." Ryder says to me, taking my hand in his. I take a breath and try to process this. I can't think about this right now. I have to sort this theft out in Temptress. That is the reason we are here. But it changes everything.

"I can't do this." I mumble to myself as I look down at my lap. I don't mean the pregnancy. I mean all this bullshit with the family businesses. I can't do it. I can't risk anything happening again.

"What do you mean? Do you mean the pregnancy..."

"No, I mean the businesses. We lost one child. I can't lose another. I need to speak to my momma. She needs to sort this mess out." I say as I look up at him and he smiles softly down at me. I lean my head against him.

"Ok, I will speak to your mom now. Just relax, OK," He says and I nod my head against him. I'm pregnant again. I hear him on the phone. But I'm not listening to the conversation. I have been reckless in the past, but I can't be anymore.

"Princess, she wants to speak to you." I take the phone and place it to my ear.

"Princess, what's going on?" she asks in her soothing southern drawl. It always warms me up.

"Momma, I can't do this. Not now. I need you to look into it. I can't risk..."

"What can't you risk? Baby, tell me." I can tell she is panicking.

"The migraines I have been getting, I thought it was to do with my head, but it turns out I'm exhausted. Momma and I'm pregnant. We've just found out. I'm sorry momma, I can't go to Temptress and deal with this. I can't risk the baby." I say to her as tears form in my eyes. My hand goes to my belly, and she is silent on the other end. I pull the phone away to see we are still connected.

"Say no more, stay there tonight and rest, then head back. Angel, congratulations baby. Don't worry about anything. I will deal with this. I should have been on top of it. This is my problem, not yours. Rest ok. Send me what you found. Also send Ice and Ripper to me. They can help me with this," she says and I look at Ryder and he smiles softly at me.

"Ok, momma. Thank you and I'm sorry I couldn't help."

"Don't you dare Angel Moretti. You have nothing to be sorry for, you hear me? This is my problem. I should have never got you involved. Now rest up and send me what you have. I love you and congratulations to you both. Ciao." She hangs up and I hand the phone back to Ryder. Looks like we have a night to ourselves. All I want to do is sleep. But we need to talk about this and what we are going to do, going forward.

"Ryder, momma is going to sort this out. We don't need to go, but she wants Ice and Ripper to go to the club. I'm sorry, this has been a waste of time." I say, feeling completely deflated by all this.

"Hey, look at me. No need to be sorry. We can just relax tonight and cuddle up on the sofa and chill out. You need to rest, princess." He kisses my head as I lean into him again.

"What are we going to do?" I ask under my breath when his fingers move under my chin and he lifts my face to look at him and I smile up at him, but it doesn't reach my eyes.

"We just go with it. I know you are scared something will happen. Nothing is going to happen. I will protect you won't let anything bad happen, promise you. Don't worry too much Angel, we can get through this," he says and I feel the sting of tears and I chuckle at how.

emotional I'm being. But then again, I'm terrified for the life that is inside of me. I can't lose another baby. It would destroy me to the point of no return.

We stay like this for a while until I drift off to sleep in his arms. Waking up, I stretch and yawn, reaching the other side of the bed and it's cold rub my eyes and see the room is dark and Ryder is nowhere in sight. I climb out of bed and stretch

properly. I shuffle to the door and

open it.

I walk through the house and it's quiet. Too quiet. I walk down the stairs and on to the hallway. I look into the living room and it's dark. I walk into the kitchen and the light above the stove is on.

"Ryder." I call out, but it's silent. I look around. The house is silent and cold. I rub my bare arms as I flick the kettle on and reach for a mug to make a cup of camomile tea.

"Ryder." I call out again and nothing. Where is he? I leave the kitchen and walk back upstairs and knock on the room where Ice is staying, but no answer. I open the door, and the bed is empty. I walk to the next room and knock and nothing. I check and I'm completely alone in the house.

I turn around and gasp as I feel a blade slam into my stomach. I open my mouth to scream and lookup at the person. My eyes widen as she comes into view. The red hair, the brown eyes. Foxy!

She laughs as she stabs me again. I scream as blood gushes out of my stomach.

I reach for her when she removes the blade and I stagger back, my hands coated with blood. I lean against the wall.

"Run Angel. Run away like a good little girl." I stagger into the room and fall to the floor. I scream again as she stalks closer to me. She grabs me by my hair. The blade with my blood to my throat.

"You're dead, I killed you." She laughs as she pushes the blade against my throat.

"No, but you will be." She moves the blade across my throat and I jolt up, screaming, clutching at my throat as I scream loudly. Hands grab me and the tears fall. I reach for my belly, panicking, and I bawl my eyes out.

"Angel, Angel. It's ok, you're safe. Shhh princess, I've got you." I sob on to his chest, clutching him close to me.

"I... I couldn't find you... Foxy... She killed me... She was here. I swear she... She was here." I sob out as I clutch him tighter to me. He coos and soothes me as I break down from the dream.

"She is dead Angel, you killed her. She is nothing but ash. She can't hurt you anymore. Shhh princess. It's ok. I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." He says, but I close my eyes and see her face twisted with evil intent, staring back at me.

"It felt real, it felt so real, Ryder. She is ... she is in my head." I say as he pulls us both back down and turns me around, so I snuggle into his chest.

"She is not here, Angel. She can't

hurt you, either of you. Sleep princess, I'm here." he kisses my head as sniffle and take a deep shuddering breath in as I feel him close to me. I can hear and feet his heartbeat in his chest. I relax in his hold. This is messed up. Lrelax further into his powerful arms and drift to sleep.
