Shamrock's Purgatory

<p><em>I've given my life to the club. And now I might be the reason an empire falls.</em></p><p> </p><p><strong>Finn Shamrock Adair</strong></p><p> </p><p>A year of my life—stolen.</p><p> </p><p>The number of once-in-a-lifetime moments the Cartel took from me is immeasurable. I missed the birth of my children their first milestones their first words. I wasn't here when two of my brothers claimed ol' ladies. I missed most of my sister-in-law's pregnancy and wasn't there to help my sister through her miscarriage.</p><p> </p><p>Most of all I wasn't here to lay my mother to rest.</p><p> </p><p>Missing all those things getting my life back being the man they needed for a year but I couldn't be is all that should matter to me. That should be my only focus now that I'm home and with my club again.</p><p> </p><p>But the Cartel destroyed that man that once ran this club. Used as a guinea pig to test their newest drugs the only thing I want to do the only thing I can seem to focus on is getting high again. A year in a constant state of being out of my mind has left me as little more than a junkie.</p><p> </p><p>I want to do the right thing but I can't.</p><p> </p><p>The demons unleashed in me are too strong have too great a hold now.</p><p> </p><p>My club isn't going to give up though and for once their greatest adversary isn't an outside force—it's me.</p><p> </p><p>I held this club together for so long waited a lifetime to get my woman back and now? I just might be the very reason it all crumbles to the ground.</p>
