Free Chaos by Alexis Noelle Page B

music changes to the wedding march and everyone stands up. When Lucy steps into view, I look over at Whip. His face holds so much love for her and I can’t stop the smile on my face. They have waited so long for this day and to be here and be a part of it makes me so happy.
    Lucy wanted a traditional ceremony so the preacher runs through all of the traditional wedding elements. As they say their vows, Lucy’s voice shakes a few times with emotion, and as much as I don’t want them to my eyes fill with tears.
    When we all hear the preacher say, “I now pronounce you man and wife,” the church erupts in cheers and applause. I meet Torch at the center of the aisle and walk down with him as we exit the church.
    Once we pass the door his arms wrap around me. “You look gorgeous.” His lips are on mine, it’s soft but at the same time so powerful. “I need to run an errand for Shooter.  Can you ride over with one of the boys?”
    I nod.
    He kisses me again and I lean into him. He pulls back looking me up and down. “I wish I didn’t have to go. I’ll be quick though.” He gives me another quick kiss before heading down the steps.
    I grab a ride with Nikki and Twisted.
    I can’t wait till he gets back.
    I want to be in his arms.
    Today will be an amazing day.
     

Chapter Sixteen

    I press the speed limit as I hurry to get back to the clubhouse. I took a detour on the way home from the church for the club. Now I’m late.
    I still can’t believe that Lucy and Jordan got married.
    I remember the first day Lucy came to us, innocent as all hell asking for help.
    Now she’s one of us in every way possible.
    The fact that it took Jordan so long to marry the girl is insane to me, especially since she’ll be popping their kid out in a couple of months. Lily has insisted multiple times that they name the kid Princess, but I don’t think they’ll listen much. She is the damn image of her mom, with just as much attitude. Twisted has his hands full. I really don’t know how the hell he does it.
    Tracie is finally starting to come around. Don’t ask me why she would ever want to date anyone who isn’t a brother. Tracie belongs in this life. None of those regular assholes could ever hold her attention long enough.
    I fought for her for years and the past few days with her have been like heaven. It was worth every time she threw some bitchy comment at me or tried to rub one of those douches in my face.
    The clubhouse comes into sight and I see everyone’s bikes and cars parked. The entire MC is here: brothers, old ladies, kids. Everyone is attending the huge party that is basically like a family day.
    As I pass through the gate, I see Tracie, phone in hand, at the front door.
    She looks up at me, giving me a smile before going back to her conversation.
    Whip and Twisted are out front talking and for some reason it looks pretty heated.
    I shut the bike off, walking over to the building, when a deafening boom sounds. Before I know what’s happening I’m flying through the air, my body slamming onto the gravel.
    “What the fuck?”
    I look up to see my worst nightmare.
    The entire club is engulfed in flames.
    The air is filled with screaming from every direction. People running from the back of the building to the front.
    I stand up in almost disbelief.
    Looking to my left I see Twisted and Whip lying on the ground face down. I rush over to them, and thankfully hear them both groan.
    As they sit up, they look at the scene in front of them. Their expressions I’m sure matching my own.
    The three of us standing there, frozen in time as we see our entire lives engulfed in flames.
    Jordan starts running toward the building. “Lucy!”
    Twisted follows yelling, “Nikki! Lily!”
    I run to help them, hoping to save whoever I possibly can.
    The smoke is black and heavy already and I can barely see. I’m bumping into people, not sure who they are but only concerned with the fact that they aren’t Tracie. She was
