“Umm, boss, we have a big fucking issue.” Hunter’s voice carries across the club, breaking through my happy thoughts.
“What the fuck now?” Nix looks up, his stare not one to mess with.
Hunter turns back and nods. A few seconds later, a brunette walks around the corner. Hair disheveled, face messed up, her lip is bleeding, but she makes no attempt to stop it. My heart stops instantly as I take her in.
“Mackenzie?” Beau stands from his chair so fast it falls back with a bang.
“Oh, fuck,” Sy whispers next to Holly, which causes the hairs on my arms to stand to attention. What the hell is going on and who is Mackenzie?
“Beau, I’m so sorry I came, but I really need your help.” Her hands tremble at her side as she twitches before looking back to the exit.
“Fuck,” Beau curses, rushing forward to her. She trembles when he gets close but doesn’t back away.
“Jesus Christ. There goes any chance of having a few quiet weeks.” Nix stands and follows closely behind Beau.
“What’s happening?” I whisper, looking back and forth between my friends and the woman who just crashed into their lives.
“Shit just got a whole lot worse for Beau is what just happened.” Jesse shakes his head but doesn’t elaborate.
I don’t know what to think, or how to respond. All I know is looking at Jesse’s face, her being here isn’t good for anyone.
“Don’t worry, sweetheart, we’ll sort it out.” He releases my hands, kisses my temple and then stands with the rest of the guys.
I nod once, believing his words and watch them move forward toward the woman. These men aren’t the type of men to cower away from anything. They wouldn’t turn their back on family. I know this because they proved themselves with me.
I was lucky enough to have found them, and I knew from watching this woman she felt the same. In her eyes, these men needed to be her saviors, and I knew they would be. Their patch is what brought them together, but their love for the club and what they do is what makes them a family.
My family.

HELP SOMEONE. HELP YOURSELF.
Do you think you might have PTSD or know someone at risk? Take action for yourself or someone you care about.
One in three returning troops in the US are being diagnosed with serious Post-Traumatic Stress symptoms. Less that 40% will seek help. (*PTSD USA What is the Statistics.)
1.4 million Australians at any one time* have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. (*Australian Bureau of Statistics – 6.4% of 21,530,081 Australians)
PTSD affects people from all walks of life. Families can be torn apart, drug and alcohol problems can occur, careers are destroyed, and in some cases, people are driven to suicide as a way of stopping the psychological and physical pain and anguish.
Some of the following links explain post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including possible causes and how you can access treatment and support. Includes tips for helping yourself, and guidance for friends and family.
