Thank You
Author’s Acknowledgements
I would like to thank Manda Mellett for the encouraging words when I asked her to read my preliminary chapters of Viper’s book. So easily you could have told me you didn’t have time to help a new writer out, you didn’t do that. I would like to thank you for the support you have shown me. You are one of the authors I love to read.
I would like to thank Ginny. From my first book, you’ve been here. You have been my staunchest supporter, cheerleader, adopted aunt, and worst nightmare all wrapped up into one. Without you I truly believe these books would have never gotten finished. I had no idea when I first spoke to you how much you would rock my world. You’ve pushed me past my boundaries, then pushed a little more, and sometimes even further than that. I needed it. I will always need it. There will never be enough words to tell you how much you mean to me, nor enough flowers.
Brea Cagle Trundle, you’ve been with me from the first. It’s like you know when I’m down, because you send me little notes of encouraging words or videos of your insane dog posse. You’ve given me your opinions on book covers, helped me out with fonts and told me your ideas for ways to expand the Angel’s Rebellion MC name. You’ve become a good friend, one I’m thankful to have in my life.
To my original beta team: Virginia H., Brea T., Heather H., Angie R., Tracy S., Patricia C., Jayne R., Joanna Z., Sharon R., Diane S., Michelle M. and Amanda D. I want each of you to know how much I truly appreciate everything that you’ve contributed to my dream. Thank you for the endless reads, suggestions, catching mistakes and the encouraging words that y’all have given me.
Adam Hensley, I will never have enough words to tell you how much I appreciate all the help you’ve given to me. I gave you my ideas for book covers, then you worked magic. Then I’d change my mind a little, so you worked more magic, until we both finally agreed we loved the end product. Thanks for doing all the investigative work to track down everything we needed to do to publish. Then for doing the majority of that work while I wrote, edited, rewrote and edited more. I’ve put a big load on your shoulders and all I can say is thank goodness your shoulders are wide enough to handle it all. Pretty sure I couldn’t do all this alone, thanks for having my back.
Last but never least, I want to thank my own biker, who traded in his bike for a bass boat. Babe, thanks for encouraging me and allowing me to spend the majority of my time writing. You always told me I could do this, but I think I clipped my own wings, until one day you told me I needed to fly. You helped me unfurl those wings and have allowed me to soar. You’re my forever and always. My ride or die. I love you, J
Dedication
This book is dedicated to my late mom and to anyone who suffers from depression.
We all get depressed from time to time and, for most, it passes quickly. Yet there are so many others who struggle with it. Who has a demon that torments them endlessly, that monkey on their back that makes them feel that it will drive them past sanity.
Sometimes those voices are quiet and there is such relief when that happens. Other times the voices drive you over the edge, where you need to scream at the pain and rage at the world because the voices are trying to destroy every facet of your life. During those times the thought might cross your mind if you were no longer here, you wouldn't have to deal with the voices anymore.
Don’t. Don’t let them win. Don’t let them take away what your life could be. Don’t give them that power over you. Just don’t.
Fight with everything you have inside you. When you feel you have nothing left to give, look deeper inside yourself and find that one small kernel that is always there. And it is there. You hold on to that tiny little bit of hope and you don’t let go. You fight. You are worth it. This world needs you. It truly needs you.
Reach out to someone in your network of family and friends to help you climb out of your despair. Be honest with those who love you so they can offer support. If you don’t have that in your life, there are mental health resources everywhere to help guide you through the maze. Reach out.
Laurell K. Hamilton said, “There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.”
She’s absolutely right. These words are the truth.
Dorothy Rowe summed up depression very succinctl
y, “Depression is a prison where you are both the suffering prisoner and the cruel jailer.”
Truer words have never been written.
Think about this wisdom from Leonard Choen, “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”
In your struggle, find that crack and let in that ray of light. Follow the light and fight with everything inside you to conquer your demon.
You win this fight. We need you.

Author’s Note
Bane, a native son of the Ozarks, is ARMC by blood and Brotherhood, cousin by birth to both his Prez, Mad Dog, and his Brother and life-long best friend, Eagle. He’s a remarkably handsome man with a larger than life personality that draws all to him.
Unknown by everyone in his life, he is constantly plagued by the demon that has taken over his emotional stability, relentlessly punishing Bane about his past. That demon accurately calls him Bastard: a man burdened with questions, a man without a father.
Nothing can stop the voice in Bane’s head and, on one fateful evening, that voice spurs him to behavior so despicable that it threatens his life as he knows it: loss of the respect of his Brotherhood, the loss of his lifelong friend and, ultimately, the loss of the love of his life.
The Angel’s Rebellion MC series should be read in order of publication which follows a specific timeline during an unparalleled growth of the club founded in the 1950’s, a fortress in the midst of the Arkansas Ozarks.
This seventh ARMC book should be read in order of the series’ releases and is the story of Bane’s journey through remorse, revelation and redemption.
Bane’s Note
My name is Chad Paxton James. I go by Bane for reasons only I know. My best friend, cousin and Brother, Eagle, and I had dreamed of being members of Angel’s Rebellion MC from the time we could say the word motorcycle. We achieved that dream eight years ago at the age of nineteen. Everything was perfect in my world. Eagle and I lived our lives free and easy.
We could ride when we wanted, lived in and ate at the Clubhouse for free and had club girls whenever we felt the urge for a woman. We worked hard in one of the club’s businesses and made good money. There was nothing like being able to live my life the way I wanted and that included being able to have Eagle along for the ride.
Like I said, everything was perfect, that is until a red-headed slip of a girl walked into the bar we frequented, The Watering Hole, and turned our world upside down.
The night she walked into the bar was the night that started months of hell for not only me, but for Eagle, for my Brothers in the MC, and for the girl, Kenzie. Even though I fought with myself, I set about a path of destruction that almost destroyed more than one person. My best friend who had unknowingly saved me over the course of my life and a woman I came to love.
All of this came about because I had a secret that no one knew, not even Eagle. It was something I battled with almost daily, something that tried to take my life from me, my demon.
Chapter 1
True friendship ought never to conceal
what it thinks.
~St. Jerome~
Eagle
July 11th, 1998
I sat listening to my Brothers, Blood, Slaughter, Doom, Brute and Bane shooting the shit. We were at the club owned bar, The Watering Hole, doing a little drinking, playing a little pool, and looking at some of the fine women that were currently dancing to a song on the jukebox. Most of the guys with me didn’t mind picking up random hookups, but that was something I never really enjoyed doing. I’d rather stick to the club girls at the Clubhouse. They didn’t expect sex to go any further than that. They weren’t looking for something more from me.
Random hookups, however, were a different story. Some of those women were looking for more and I hated seeing the looks in their faces when they realized all I wanted was a quick fuck. After seeing that look one too many times in my youth, I’d decided when I needed to get my dick wet, it would be with women I knew didn’t want anything else from me. Club girls.
Lately, I've been feeling restless, unsettled, and I wasn’t sure why. I had no desire for a permanent woman in my life right now. I’m only twenty-seven and living the good life. I’m a member of the Angel’s Rebellion MC out of Arkansas. I have been since I was nineteen. I enjoy my lifestyle. I’m unfettered. There’s nothing holding me down. I can ride free and easy on my bike whenever I want. I live rent free in our compound in the Clubhouse. I don’t have to buy food unless I want to eat out. When I want to have sex, I have the use of club girls.
I have a MC full of Brothers who are like minded. We don’t live by normal society’s rules. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m not some parasite on society. I work hard and I make damn good money. While our MC is a 1%’er club, our businesses are legal. We don’t deal in sex trade, drugs, or guns. Our club has the outlook that being out of a jail cell is a much better life than living inside one. You may wonder how we can be classified as an outlaw biker club. Let me just say that if anyone harms a Brother or anyone under the protection of the MC, life as that person knows it is over.
