  Trigger Warning

  This book is intended for mature audiences only. If darker books are not for you, please do not move forward. After re-adjusting my trigger warning system, I will not be giving any spoilers. Please understand that this is not your run of the mill romance and tough
subjects will be spoken about in this storyline. This story could include things like: rape, kidnapping, abuse, domestic violence, drugs, alcohol abuse, and many other potential triggers.

  Time Note

  If you have not read Chaz, this book will not make sense to you. Please make sure before you go on to read Frost, you have read Chaz. As stated in my author’s note for Chaz, this will be an alternating POV between Frost, Cheyenne, Chaz, and Crina.

  Reapers MC Clubhouse

  Prologue

  The fears we don’t face become our limits.

  ~ Robin Sharma

  Cheyenne

  1 Week Ago . . .

  This is going to be good.

  I’ll change lives.

  I’ll bring innovative healthcare to a town where some doctors still use outdated practices.

  Things will be amazing here.

  I keep repeating positive thought after positive thought, hoping it’ll make me feel better about being here. Although, I doubt it’ll help. It hasn’t thus far. I suck in a deep breath and stare at the clubhouse, but for only a moment.

  “You doing okay?” Bull asks. He’s the enforcer for the club, also the man tasked with picking me up from the airport.

  The snow is a little higher than a foot I’d say, so I’m surprised he even came to pick me up. But more than that, I’m shocked there wasn’t any flight delays. “Yeah, I’m alright. Taking it all in I guess.”

  “Take all the time you need. We’re really glad to have you here. Blackjack has been doing the best he can with his medical training from being in the Army . . . but hell, we’ve needed more than that for years. We have loads of people here now, and lots of kids. Kids . . . always gettin’ sick and spreadin’ it around like wildfire.”

  I laugh lightly, “They just have to touch their mouth and smear it on every surface they can.”

  “Ain’t that the damn truth.” He shakes his head, chuckling a bit.

  I take in another breath, staring right at the clubhouse. I know it’s a bit newer, maybe a couple years old at this point. This is simply a new beginning, a new fucking chapter. I feel like I shouldn’t be this nervous, like it should make me relax and whatnot . . . yet it doesn’t. I’m more nervous about this than I was on my first day of high school all those years ago.

  Hell, maybe it’s not even about being here. It could be about being closer to Wyoming. There’s still so much I haven’t told the Reapers about my brother, or the Corrupt Kings MC. I might be their President’s sister . . . but it doesn’t mean I approve of the way they do things.

  My stomach reminds me of when you’re going on the upward spiral of a rollercoaster just before you know you’re about to come plummeting down and your stomach will flop. That’s how it feels being back here, far too close to my brother.

  One way or another all my secrets are going to come out, and I’m more scared than I’ve ever been.

  “You ready to head inside? I know Zane wanted to see you when you got here.” Bull mutters.

  I nod, “Yeah, I’m ready.”

  Bull gets out of the driver’s side and I hop out of the passenger side and shut the door behind me. He leads me through the clubhouse doors and I walk inside to see the exact same layout that’s in Las Vegas. The furniture is different up here. It’s more rustic, more fur and cowhide are featured around the joint.

  Bull walks past a large sectional and a few tables with chairs around them, then we’re right where the room is in Las Vegas where the officers and full patch members hold church and have important meetings.

  Bull bangs his fist against the door. “Prez, I got Cheyenne.”

  “Come on in,” a deep male voice calls back.

  Bull opens the door and I see a man at the front of the room. He’s sitting behind an old oak looking desk, shuffling through papers with a pair of glasses on. A woman with fiery red hair sits across from him with a baby on her lap. I can’t tell if it’s a boy or girl from this far away, but it’s cute as can be.

  “You must be Zane,” I say, trying to remain as cool as possible. I walk over to where he sits behind the desk and extend a hand. He does the same and we shake.

  “I am, and this is my wife, Octavia, and our son, Neo.”

  “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Zane, but I’ve met Octavia before, back in Las Vegas. However, somehow you slipped by. Probably getting club business done.” I tell them.

  “Ah, you’re right! I’m always keeping busy with something in regards to the club. And speaking of, how was the clinic going with Sakura before you left?” The Reapers MC helped Sakura and I open a clinic in Las Vegas. It brought in not only additional income for us but helped us get out of the club for a few hours every day. Plus, if someone at the club needed some help, we were right there.

  “It was going well. Took so long to get up and running due to regulations, but everything seems great.”

  Zane furrows his brows, “You seem a bit nervous. Everything alright?”

  “Yeah, just haven’t ever been a fan of flying. Still a bit rattled from the turbulence.” I’m lying, but Zane doesn’t need to know that.

  “Shit, I was wondering if the flight was shitty. The snow has been awful.”

  “Yeah, I was shocked when my flight wasn’t delayed. Honestly, I wish it was.” I laugh at the last bit, trying to lighten the mood and make my story a bit more believable.

  “Alright, well, how about you get settled over the next couple days? We can talk later. It’s no big deal.” Zane comments, while Octavia watches the conversation between the two of us.

  “That would be great, thank you.” I say.
/>
  Zane opens his mouth out of nowhere and speaks to his wife, “Cheyenne is Boomer’s sister, from the Corrupt Kings MC.”

  “Oh, another MC person in here. I love when that happens.” Octavia is all smiles, as is her husband. I doubt either of them really know what the Corrupt Kings do, or about their closet full of skeletons.

  If I’m lucky, they’ll never find out and my brother will never find out I’m here.

  From the bottom of my heart— I don’t give a fuck

  ~ The Fresh Quotes

  Frost

  Present Day

  “When are you coming home to see me again, Kristie?” My mother uses her charm to wrangle another commitment out of me. Ironic considering she never likes seeing me these days. She hasn’t been much of a fan of me since I left the FBI, dyed my hair from its natural blonde to bright red, or started getting tattoos. Hell, she flat out asked me if I was having a mid-life crisis.
