“Governed by the Code” are the words Supreme has had to live by his entire life. As the oldest of the Love Brothers, it’s been his duty to lead the family legacy with his younger brothers as the second generation henchmen for the Knight family syndicate. Now older and with the life and love of his childhood sweetheart Reign to protect, he dreams of a legitimate life away from the criminal ties, but he feels trapped between his duties to the Knights and his loyalty to his family. When tragedy strikes, the old Supreme is reignited, leaving behind a messy blood trail as he races to find the culprit before tragedy strikes close to home again.TRIGGER WARNING FOR SUPREME:
A message from SUPREME:
Reading SUPREME will trigger you. Ain’t no way around that shit. It’s gonna hurt because someone hurt me. And when I hurt, everybody gonna feel it. Even you. I ain’t a cold nigga. I hate that for both of us. But just know, I tried. Aries Skye penned this so y'all could “journey”with me through this, so all I ask is that y'all ride the wave. You’ll meet my pops, my brothers and my beautiful wife Reign—a woman that I have loved damn near my entire life. (Oh and you’ll meet her hating ass daddy, too. Nah, I got love for Theodus). As the oldest brother, my job is to enforce, and naturally, I protect. My gun play is hell but my heart is heavenly. My soul—that’s questionable. I guarantee you won’t agree with my decisions but you will respect it. If you can handle that, crack that spine, baby, and get ready to meet the Love Brothers.

As the second oldest Love Brother, SAVIOR has always been the voice of reason leading the charge in loyalty to his family and his dedication to the Knight family syndicate. After learning of a devastating betrayal to his family, it forces him to examine his ties to the underground criminal organization. When he meets Sofia, she represents everything wholesome, a far cry different than the life he’s known. However, his quest to make her his girl unlocks a chain of events that threatens to bring his entire world to its knees.TRIGGER WARNING FOR SAVIOR:
A message from SAVIOR:
Reading SAVIOR will trigger you. I’m not the man you call to handle shit. I’m the man that makes the call to let people know the shit is handled. Pops calls me the Brute. Take from that what you will. Actually, I think I’m the most chill of the brothers, so I know y’all will appreciate this story that Aries Skye penned. Make no mistakes though, I am still that nigga, so let me put you up on game. (Don’t get on me, Aries. I gotta let the people know). I’m the glue. I’m the one who speaks to the demons in Supreme and quells the wildness in Saint. Truth be told, I’m the reason our pops can hold this rogue crew together. ‘Cause even though he raised us by the code, we are really some lawless muthafuckas. My motto is I’m here for a good time, not a long time. But this little baddie named Sofia might touch a nigga’s heart differently. But as I say, reading is believing. So read for yourself and as Aries would say, practice self-care and all that shit.
