had to take the law into your own hands. He’d known it when the DRMC killed his father. He’d known it when the DRMC wiped out the Sioux Rangers. And he knew it now.
    No one was going to help someone like him, or someone like Rose. The law wouldn’t come to their aid. The DRMC was too powerful. They had police chiefs, judges and politicians in their pocket. There would never be any justice for Rose. He held her close as she slept and breathed in the musky scent of her hair. It smelled so lovely. It reminded him of holding a baby.
    Josh was determined to do right by Rose. He felt that his entire life up till that point had been meaningless and that if he could just do something to help her, even if it meant getting killed himself, then it would be worth the sacrifice. He had no children of his own, he didn’t feel like he was going to leave anything behind, so helping her would be worth any cost.
    His feelings for Rose were strange. At least to him, they were strange. He loved her. He was sexually attracted to her. But it went farther than that. He felt somehow responsible for her too. It was almost as if she was his daughter. Not physically, because he was obviously in love with her and wanted her, but spiritually. He felt as if maybe Jack Meadows, Rose’s father, was somehow influencing him. Josh wasn’t a big believer in the supernatural but he did believe in heaven, and he thought that maybe Jack was looking down at him from beyond the grave and telling him to protect Rose. He even believed that Jack was helping him to do it. Everything was so connected. It just seemed to make sense.

    J OSH WAS A MAN WHO followed his instincts. And his instincts were telling him that Rose needed justice. He didn’t relish the thought of trying to kill other men, he wasn’t a mindless killer like some MC members. His natural inclination was to stay out of other men’s way. But he just couldn’t do that this time. He knew what he had to do. It wasn’t out of anger. It wasn’t out of hatred. It was out of love.
    He had to kill the men who’d hurt Rose. It was the only just outcome he could come up with. He would go back to Val-d’Or, he would find the DRMC clubhouse, and he would do what he should have done at the Cat. He would kill Serge Gauthier. He would also try to find any other DRMC member who might have hurt or raped Rose and kill them too.
    He knew it would mean he might not come back. In fact, if he was being honest with himself, he knew that it was extremely likely that he would be killed in Val-d’Or. But at least he would have stood for something. He would have achieved something. He would have given Rose a chance to move forward with her life.
    That was something he was willing to die for.
    The only hard part for Josh was that it meant he’d be leaving Rose alone if he died. He worried about that. He didn’t like the idea of her being alone in the world. But he knew that the most important thing was that she get the justice she deserved, and that meant he might be killed.
    He didn’t even dare to let himself think of what a life with her would be like. He wanted nothing more than a life with Rose. A future with her would be everything he ever dreamed of. It would be heaven. But he knew it might never happen. There was too much standing in the way. He didn’t want to get his heart set on a future that might never come to pass.

    H E KISSED THE TOP OF Rose’s head gently and the slipped out of the bed. He was careful not to wake her. She was exhausted and in a deep sleep. He slipped into his jeans and jacket and got the handgun he’d bought back in Montreal. He checked it. It wasn’t loaded but he had bullets out in his bike.
    He walked quietly to the door of the room and looked back at the bed. There she was, Rose, the love of his life, sleeping so peacefully. He stood at the door for a minute looking back at her. If this was the last time he was going to see her then he wanted to remember it.
