Savage Vow (Book 3): Anarchy’s Reign MC, #3

By APRIL LUST

This is book 3 and the finale of the Anarchy's Reign MC trilogy!

I swore to protect her…as long as I could f**k her first.

RAFE

I'm not here to play nice. I'll f**k a woman once and forget her the next day.

That routine worked for me…

Until I saw Beth.

The woman with the biggest, greenest eyes and with the sweetest little body.

I took her that night and even that didn't sate my thirst.

But now she's caught up in my world.

The world of blood and violence and death.

And as I'm searching for a killer and enacting vengeance for my murdered leader, I wonder if I can save Beth, if I can keep her safe…

…or if I'll be her downfall instead.

BETH

I'm not the type of girl who hooks up at a club.

But when I saw him watching me, tall and muscular and tattooed, I knew I couldn't resist him.

Rafe is hard, violent. He's a bad boy with a need for vengeance.

That doesn't mean I don't dream of him touching me. Taking me.

I can't stop thinking about him.

But then I get entangled in his savage war.

He terrifies me. I don't know if I can survive Rafe…

…yet I know that, deep down, he's already claimed me as his own.

Chapter One

BETH

Icouldn’t think straight . Rafe was gone. Madison was gone. The house was empty, and aside from the fridge dropping an ice cube now and then there was no sound.

I thought about calling the cops, but then got too scared. If Brittany had Maddie and was with someone else, the cops couldn’t help.

It all led back to Rafe. I never should have talked to him in that bar, and I sure as hell never should have talked to him after.

My phone danced on the kitchen table and I nearly tripped over my feet running for it. Another text from Rafe. I screamed at the phone and slammed it down on the table, immediately regretting my actions. Checking to make sure I hadn’t broken it, I sunk down into the chair and let the tears come again.

Frustration at just sitting and waiting around for what was going to happen next was driving me crazy. I need to get out there and look for her. I needed to find my baby.

Chrissy was on the late shift. I jumped into the car, my first time actually getting to drive it, and stabbed the ignition with the key. The car handled a hell of a lot better than my old one. Nothing rattled when I turned, and I wasn’t afraid the engine would combust if I hit the gas to hard. Which worked out great, because I was flooring it down the side streets.

It was late, after midnight already. Maddie would be so tired. Was she asleep? Was she scared? The wheels squealed when I turned into the parking lot of the diner Chrissy worked at. I found her at the counter. Not many people were looking for a burger or coffee at that time of night.

Beth? Her eyes widened when she saw me run through the door What’s wrong? Her face paled and she ran around the counter to meet up with me. What’s wrong? she asked again when I didn’t answer her.

Where’s Brittany! I demanded, a bit louder than I intended.

Brit? I don’t know, why? Her fingers dug into my arms. What’s going on? Where’s Maddie? she asked, as though it just occurred to her what time it was and I was alone.

I don’t know! Brittany has her! I pulled away from her. Who’s the guy she’s been seeing from Anarchy’s Reign? Do you know?

Anarchy’s Reign? My eyes nearly crossed. If she kept repeating my questions I wouldn’t get anywhere with her. Oh! That guy. Yeah. Short blond hair? Kinda gross teeth?

Gray? I stepped back from her. She’s been dating Gray?

That sounds right. Chrissy pulled out her phone and started tapping away. I’ll just call her. She watched me as the phone began to ring, and ring. And ring. Fuck. The voicemail picked up. Hey, Brit, can you give me call right away? I need you. Thanks.

She’s never going to call you back. I could feel my heart hammering away in my chest and air was quickly becoming a luxury I didn’t have.

Hey, hey. Don’t worry. She’ll call back.

No, she won’t. She took Maddie, Chrissy. She stole my baby! I ran fingers through my hair and grabbled for my phone as it began to vibrate in my back pocket.

Leave my sister out of this. Get gone.

Chrissy tore the phone from my hand and looked at the message. Her smile dropping and her head started to shake. What’s wrong with her?

Did she tell you about the bruises? The ribs? I asked with the panic growing bigger and bigger in my chest.

Ribs?

I was going to lose my shit. Yes, she had a few bruised ribs. Fucking Gray’s been beating on her and she helped him kidnap Maddie. I dragged my hands through my hair, vividly aware of the small crowd in the diner staring at me. I must have looked quite the crazy person.

Why would she do that? She didn’t mention anything about her boyfriend hitting her. Are you sure? Why wouldn’t she tell me? The panic rose a little in her voice, too.

I don’t know. I gotta go. I snatched the phone from her hand and ran out the door. Please call me if you get a hold of her, I yelled as I blew through the door and back out into the cool breeze of the night.
