title: Blood's Oath
author: Osborne, Erin
description: Axel 'Blood' JohnsGrowing up in the Kings Vengeance MC isn't like any stories you've heard in the past. My story is rough, full of hate, greed, drugs, sex, and losing the one person who meant the most to me in the beginning of my life. I'm not talking about my father either. He's the a** who took everyone important from me. First my mother, then my baby sister. Both different reasons they were taken from me, but neither one easy to deal with.Now, the club is going to crap and it's up to me to save it. To figure out a way to build a legacy I can be proud of with my woman and children by my side. In order to do that, I have to do the one thing I never thought I'd do in my life. However, a man can only take so much before it gets old. Things aren't right with the club, so I walk away. Well, I give my father, the reigning President, an oath I'll be involved in the runs because I'm the only one our contacts will deal with. Other than that, I'm out. He's got a defined amount of time to clean up the club or he's out and I'm in. It's either my family or the club; it's a simple choice really.Tonya JohnsMy life has belonged to one man: Blood. From the second I met him, he's owned my heart. I could see the hurt, rage, and torment filling his haunted eyes. Still, he pasted on a smile and pretended everything in his life was good. Until it came to me going to the clubhouse with him. That was always off limits to me. It didn't take me long to figure out why he wanted it that way.I have a decision to make; the hardest one in my life. To stay with the man I love, the father of my children, or leave and live half a life. Without Blood in my life, I wouldn't be living at all. However, I can't stand the man he is because of the club. Instead of loving us and making sure we know we're important to him, the club seems to be his only priority. Our son, Colt and I, are just a pit stop every now and then on his journey in life. Until he chooses to walk away…in a sense.
