The Biker’s Mafia Princess (Angel and Savage)

Harmony POV.

I land on my knees beside Mystique, not looking at Joel who is spluttering and choking on his blood. I move my shaky hands to check her over. My hand moves to her chest, feeling something warm and slick.

He shot her; she took the bullet meant for me.

"Mystique, no, no, no, no. Get someone to help. He shot her. Come on, girl, you will be OK," I say even though I know deep down I am kidding myself.

The doctor comes over, kneeling beside me, and checks her over.

"Here, let me help. We need to stop the bleeding, but she needs someone who is a vet that specialises in big cats." He says as he adds pressure to Mystique's wound.

"Tank, he used to work at the zoo. He would know. Dad, get Tank in here now!" I scream as I run my hand through Mystique's fur. She isn't whimpering or yowling, she is laying still just watching me. She is panting hard, but is calm.

I hate what she had to endure to become the killing machine she was bred to be.

"Baby, she will be ok. Come on," Mav says as he squats beside me and I shake my head furiously, biting my bottom lip to stop the sob from leaving my throat. My vision blurs with unshed tears as I whisper soothing, encouraging words to Mystique.

When Tank enters the room talking on the phone and giving instructions to the human doctor on what to do. I look around the room and stand stumbling over Joel's dead body towards the bed, ripping the sheets off. My momma helps and we rip the sheets in to long pieces so we can make some makeshift bandages.

We hand them to Mav as he works alongside the doctor to stem the flow of blood. I see the doc moving his hands feeling around the area and I know he is checking for the bullet.

"Can you find it? We need to remove it." I say and he looks up at me, his hands covered in her blood, and he shakes his head.

"She will need surgery and a blood transfusion. I don't know how far the nearest zoo is that may stock the relative blood she needs. It would have to be blood from either a tiger or a panther. It can't be any other big cat blood." He says and I look at Tank and he is still talking on the phone.

"Come on Mystique, you can fight this. I can't lose you. I owe you my life, more than once. You're doing so well. I promise if you pull through this, I will give you the best life any cat will have. Hell, I will move to a huge house with its own land so you can roam and hunt. Just please pull through." I say, my tears coming thick and fast.

Mystique moves her head and looks at me before she moves to her feet and everyone moves out of the way. I remain still on my knees. Her rough tongue licks my face and I stroke her head.

"Stay down Mystique, everything will be ok." I say as I continue to stroke her head. I look at the doctor and he and Mav continue to wrap her in the torn bed sheets.

"Get rid of him. I don't want to see him. Once we move Mystique, burn the place to the ground. Are the victims safe?" I ask, not taking my eyes from the green ones that are watching me as she chuffs. I don't want to look at Joel.

"Don't worry about it, princess, everything will be taken care of." My dad says as we hear a car pull up. Who the hell is that? I don't move because if I do, Mystique will follow me. So far, she is calm and I don't want her to be in pain.

"Lay back down sweet girl, it will be ok," I say to her and she huffs and does as I ask and I smile at her. I hear boots running up the stairs and pick up the gun next to me and turn and aim just as three people enter the room. Two were wearing khaki green polo tops and one wearing overalls carrying a bag.

"Who are you?" I ask as Tank walks over and shakes hands with the one in the overalls and the man and woman with him.

"This is my friend, Noah. He is the vet to the big cats in the zoo I used to work for. These two work with big cats. I had them on standby in case she was hurt. They weren't too far away." Tank tells me and I look at them and lower the gun as Mystique yowls.

"Mr Noah and colleagues, can you please help save my Patger?" I say and they snap out of their daze and jump into action.

I move away to give the vet and the assistants some room to work, but I keep my eyes on them.

"She needs blood and we need to remove the bullet. Samantha set up the anaesthesia, Alan get the blood bags ready, we need something to hang the bag from. Doctor, can you assist me?" The vet says as Mav wraps me in his arms and kisses my head. The wig is long gone and so is the orange face paint.

"Doctor, thank you for helping. I need to know something." I say to him and he turns to look at me and he nods his head.

"Whatever you need to know, I will tell you." The doctor tells me and I ask the question.

"Am I really pregnant?" I ask him and he looks at me and nods his head.

"Yes, that crazy, obsessed man kidnapped me and told me to draw your blood. He had all the equipment in the basement to process the testing. He had a gun to my head the entire time. From your blood results, you are roughly about four weeks into your gestation. Congratulations." He says, and I nod my head as I turn in Mav's hold and he is smiling at me before his lip quivers.

"I thought I was going to lose you. But I told you I would always find you." He says and I sob as I kiss him and he kisses me back. We sit on the bed and just watch as the vet and the doctor do their thing. My parents have cleared the room and have gone to help get the victims checked out as the EMTs are now here.

"Oh god, Mav, we are having a baby. Melody is going to be so happy." I say to him as I lean against him and he chuckles.

"Oh, she will. It's so strange I heard her telling Michelle that you had a baby in your belly." He says with a chuckle and I smile as I go to touch my belly, but my hands are covered in blood. The EMTS enter the bedroom and look at me and smile as they come closer to check me over.

I'm ok apart from a fractured cheekbone and back eye. My hand has a cut from the shard of mirror. They completely check me over after the doctor told them I am pregnant. The EMT advised me to see my family doctor and to book in for the antenatal care. I nodded my head, listening to them.

Once they were happy, and Mav was. He led me to the bathroom so I could wash my hands. Luckily, the water still works. I wash my hands and then look at my belly and smile. I have a little life growing in there. Unaware of the chaos that is my life.

"Oh God, the store. I'm going to have a lot to sort out." I say as I look at Mav and he rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

"Don't worry about the store. The insurance will sort it out, besides you have a massive family. You know they will help out with it." He says, kissing my head as he wraps his around me from behind. His hands resting over my lower belly, protecting the little life inside of me.

"True, even so, we have a lot of work to do." I say to him and he chuckles.

"Do you ever stop? Seriously, take a break. Because now you are carrying precious cargo, you baby will not be lifting a damn finger. Once Melody finds out, you know she will give you hell if you try to do anything she doesn't approve of," he says with a chuckle. Oh god he is right, little miss sassy pants.

I chuckle at that. Melody, my Melody, I love her. It doesn't matter that she isn't my blood; she is still mine and always will be.

The vet's assistant comes to the bathroom and smiles at me.

"We are finished." She says and I move out of Mav's hold and walk back into the room and the vet is packing up his kit and the doctor is cleaning his hands. "How is she? Will she be ok?" I ask. My heart is in my throat. The vet turns to me and smiles.

"Mystique will be just fine. I removed the bullet. Luckily, it stopped in her muscle in the chest. It would take a lot more than one bullet from a nine millimetre to kill her. I will give her the reversal drug when that bag of blood is finished. Just be very careful with her. She may freak out." He says and I walk to him and hug him. "Thank you for saving her." I say, and he stiffens and hugs me back.

"No problem. Mystique is a very rare cat. If it is ok with you, I would like to check up on her in a few day's time. Tank has given me the specifics. I will give you my number and you call me if anything happens. I would love to be her vet. Also, the zoo I work for have a lot of interns who want to work with big cats. If it's alright with you and your husband, I would like to bring them with me so they can see her. She is the only one of her kind." He tells me and I hyper focused on the husband part and I nod my head.

"Yeah, I think that will be OK," Mav says with a smugness to his tone. I roll my eyes at him as he slings his arm over my shoulder.

"My wife and I could use all the help we can get with Mystique. You see, Mystique chose Harmony as her alpha. So that will stay the way it is." Mav tells him and I smile.noveldrama

We waited for the blood transfusion to be complete and the vet gave Mystique the reversal. Everyone left the room, leaving me and Mav with her to wait for her to wake up.

Today may have started off as a shit show but I have a feeling everything will be ok now. But I'm not naïve. I know we have more hurdles to get over, but we can do that together.
