The Broken and the Damned: An MC Club Alpha Male Romance (18 page)

EPILOGUE: FANG

“Okay, Spider Monkeys, line up!”

About a quarter of my kindergarteners on the playground perked up. They dashed off to stand in a neat line beside the dull brick of the school.

“Now, I want to see my Great White Sharks lined up!”

Another quarter. And another, and another. I divided my class into groups named after animals and the kids loved it—it inspired them to behave, to work hard for the honor of their group. If there’s one thing I knew about, it was groups, loyalty, and honor.

The Feds had asked me what I wanted to do once I got to Seattle. They lasered off the tattoos on my face and hands—imagine sticking your hand in a bonfire and then leaving it there for a few hours and that’s getting close to what it feels like—but left the ones that I could cover up. They would also pay for graduate school and that’s what I wanted—they sent me to get my teaching degree and now, I was student-teaching a class of kindergarteners.

This school was supposedly the worst in the district but I never had any trouble. My kindergarteners were little angels once I had a week with them, and I had become the de-facto enforcer of good behavior for the entire school. The seventh and eighth grade boys were particularly wild—or, at least, they had been, until I had a good, hard talk with them and made them run laps around the parking lot until they puked.

After that, instead of hating me, they ended up loving me. A lot of boys just have too much energy and if you don’t let them run around and act a fool, they’ll turn into little monsters.

Speaking of little monsters—the Great White Sharks were pointing and giggling at something off on the street.

“Are we being focused?” I began, raising my eyebrows at them. “I see Jamal is focused… I see…”

“Mr. Watt, there’s a big fat lady coming over here!” one of Spider Monkeys, Keisha, cried out.

I turned around to see who this big fat lady was and my heart nearly stopped.

“Mr. Watt?” Claire asked as she came to a halt in front of me and my students. “That’s what they call you now?”

I recovered my composure right away. I grinned.

“What are you talking about? I’ve always been Mr. Watt.”

“Well, in that case…” Claire said, taking my hand and putting it on her swollen, pregnant belly. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Watt.”
