<b><i>Blythe’s </i></b><b><i>POV</i></b><b><i>. </i></b>
“Blythee sit with us,” Annita said the moment I had a te full of food. She patted the empty seat beside
her. I smiled as I walked towards her.
I set my te down and took the seat Ann offered. I was seated at the head of the table, and I didn’t really like it. I ended up moving my seat to the corner, closer <i>to </i>Ann. Bones was sitting next to Ann, practically glued to her side. Camilia was seated on the opposite side of the table with Chopper, her ol‘ man. Bothdies
were grinning at me from ear–to–ear. <fn4126> Follow current nov?ls on find?novel</fn4126>
“Ugh! I’m so happy to finally talk to you,” Ann said. “These fu.ckers really got it from us, just so you know.<b>” </b>
“Yeah, we were not happy about any of it,” Cami agreed.
Both of their men grunted, giving me the impression that it’d been a tough week.
Good. I hope it has for all of them. I get that it’s club life, but I can still be mad.
“We’re sorry, kid,” Bones said.
“Yeah, we really are,” Chopper agreed.
“It’s alright guys, I get it,” I said. “Club life.” Just then, Karma decided to sit down. He pulled a chair over until
he was sitting right next to me. So close that his knee bumped mine. I frowned at him. “Besides,” I added. <b>“</b><b>I’ll </b>
just me your dipsh.it prez. He was the one that made the rules, right?”
Cami and Ann were smirking, trying not to snicker. Everyone else seemed ufortable. I didn’t care though. I was just happy to have some food.
“She’s right,” Karma said, surprising not only me, but a few of the others around us. “I was an a.ss. You can all
me me.”
“I don’t think any of them needed your permission,” I said without looking at him.
Karma bent his head down until I felt his hot breath fan my neck.
“This is <b><i>my </i></b>club,” he stated lowly. “So, yes, the fu.ck they do.”
“Good thing I’m not part of the club,” I muttered sarcastically. “Who knows what I’d be in for after having my own beliefs and opinions?”
“You are a part of the club,” he argued.
“No, Karma, I’m not,” I stated. “I’m nothing to any of you. I don’t fit in here.”
Or anywhere, for that matter.
“Oh, Spark,” Karma whispered, sending a shiver down my spine. “You forget what I told you the day I <b>gave </b><b>you </b>that nickname? I can always remind you.”

Chapter 31 Belonging
“Wow, what a wh.ore.”
<b>“</b>Yeah, no kidding.”
“Are you really sleeping with all of them?”
“Can’t believe they’d all want her… gross.”
“Just do us all a favor and pick one, okay? Some of us want a chance too.”
“How about we just mess up her face? I doubt they’ll want her if we make her ugly.”
The typical pack of mean girls. I don’t even remember their names. This isn’t the first time they’ve cornered me in the bathroom though.
However, it was the first time they beat me up. And they got me good. All I could do was curl up into a ball
and cry until they stopped. With onest threat to stay away from my only friends, they were gone.
A random girl found me shortly after that. I was sobbing on the floor, terrified of what had just happened.
Three girls just jumped me in the school bathroom, all because I’m friends with the five hottest guys in
school. We’re just friends anyway. I have no idea why everyone says things like that about us.
The girl who found me went to get a teacher. A short whileter, I was sitting in the nurse’s office. The
principal tried to ask me who had beat me up, but I refused to talk. He called Mom<b>, </b>and now I have to wait to
be picked up. Oh, and I got suspended for two days for refusing to snitch.
Chayton would be so proud of me. Evander is going to be pi.ssed though. Maybe this will get him to teach me
how to throw a punch.
“Okay, honey, why don’t youy down and rest until your mom gets here?” The nurse suggested in a gentle
tone.
I nodded before going to the bed and lying down. The nurse excused herself after that, going into the office
that was off to the side to give me more quiet space. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but I was just too wound up.
Suddenly, I felt the bed dip behind me. I jumped, turning around and opening my eyes. Kylian was there, sitting at the edge of the bed, staring at me like he knew every little thing about me without having to ask.
“H–hi,” I stutteredmely
“Hey,” he replied. “You gonna tell me what happened?”
“H–how did you even know-”
“Helga was braggin‘ about what they did to you,” he cut me off. “You didn’t show up to ss. I went lookin‘. Overheard Nova asking a teacher if you were okay.”
I rolled my eyes.
“Her name is Heidi, not Helga,” I muttered.
“I don’t care,” Kylian replied tly.
“Who is Nova?” I asked.
“I don’t know,” he said. “Some girl who found you in the bathroom. She was worried about you.”
“Oh, Treplied tamely
“You gonna tell me what happened?’ he asked again
1 blew out a breath
i got beat up,” I said
“<i>Why</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>He asked. He already knows the who. Now he wants to know why. fd rather snitch about who had done it then tell Kylian why
“Because they don’t like me,’ I replied quietly.
It wasn’t aplete lie. They obviously hated me.
“Why didn’t you fight back, Kylien asked. “They said you took it.”
“There were three of them,” I said.
“So? That doesn’t mean you can’t fight back,” he argued,
“You wanted me to fight a losing battle?” I asked incredulously.
“I want you to stand up for yourself, so people know not to mess with you,” he corrected me. “You’re stronger than you know, Bly”
1 scoffed.
“No, I’m not,” I said, “I’m a total weakling, I’m a huge crybaby. That’s why they hate me. Because I don’t fit in with any of them. I’m a total loser who doesn’t fit in anywhere. You guys are the only ones nice to me, and even with you I… I mean, I’m not part of the club life… I’m an outsider. What’s the point of standing up for myself?”
Kylian reached out to wipe a tear from my cheek. He gave me a small smile and my heart fluttered. His smallest actions spike such huge responses from me.
“Firstly, being weak and a crybaby doesn’t mean you can’t be brave,” he told me. “Fight while you’re cryin‘ and scared. Do it because you deserve to fight back, As for that other sh.it…” he trailed off, moving his hand to cup the side of my face. “As long as I’m a part of the Inferno Demon Riders, then so are you. You are not an outsider and never will be. No matter what happens between us in the future. You will always, always have a ce at the club with us. You might not see it, but… You’re like this spark of fire… ready to blow up at a moment’s notice. A spark in all the darkness… A spark of fire straight from inferno and sent to the Demon Riders. My spark.”
I blinked at Kylian as heat pooled in my cheeks.
“H–…” I trailed off, swallowing hard. “D–do you mean that?”
Kylian smiled wider.
“Yeah, Spark, I mean it,” he replied./
Spark… wow<i>… </i>
“Is that like… my road name?” asked, feeling a little dazed.
Kylian chuckled and shook his head.
“No,” he said. “That’s my special name for you. So that you know you’ll always be a part of my life, wherever I
Chapter 31: Belongeng
am.”
I felt my blush deepen, the heat spreading down my neck.
“Thank you, Kylian,” I whispered, tears brimming my eyes. Thank you for making me feel like I belong
somewhere.”
“Anytime, Spark,” he murmured. “Anytime.”

“Things change though, don’t they <i>Karma</i>?” I said, practically spitting the words at him.
How dare he use such a special memory to try to trick me.
“I guess you’re right,” he replied. “But not you being a part of this club, being the spark sent from inferno-
“Just stop it,” I hissed at him, turning my head to narrow my eyes at him. “If I really am some spark sent to this club from hell… then maybe, just maybe, you should be scared.”
“You threatenin‘ the prez, Short Cake?” Psycho asked, plopping down beside Cami, practically at the opposite
corner of the table from me.
“If he feels like taking it that way, then yeah,” I replied before stuffing my mouth full of pancakes.
So good.
“Hope ya’ll ain’t pickin‘ on my favorite club princess,” C.G.mented as he snatched a chair and literally pushed his mom and dad to move down so he could sit right next to me.
Suddenly, I felt ustrophobic.
“Oh, Alex is here?” Everly chimed in happily.
Why is she even still here?
“What? Ew, no,” C.G. replied,pletely disgusted. “I was talking about my little fireball of course.” Then he kissed the side of my head before I could even see iting.
I red at C.G., but he was too busy eating to notice.
“After this,” Karma whispered in my ear, making me tense with his heat. “We need to have a talk. The rules are changin‘, Spark. Time for you to learn.”
“Learn what?!” I snapped, hissing at him so only the few people around us could hear.
Karma smirked at me.
“That you belong to this club,” he stated. “And we ain’t lettin‘ ya go.”
