The Aces and Eights MC hadn't changed in the last three years. As Aimee sat astride her bike in the parking lot, contemplating what she was about to do, she couldn't help but notice all of the regulars iron horses were in the usual places, meaning a club meeting was underway.

The past three days had been spent crying miserably, holed up in her small downtown apartment, Aimee's whole future had been torn from her, and she was devastated.

But at the end of those three days, she had managed to channel that pain into something more productive..rage, and damn, was she angry.

With the help of a few old friends, Aimee gathered anything that reminded her of Connor from her apartment, clothes, cards, past gifts, CDs, aftershave, her Stepford wife clothes, even photos they had taken together.

The loyal few followed behind her bike like a funeral procession, in their beat-up cars filled with his belongings as Aimee made her way to their special place, and once there, overlooking the ocean and making sure her friends bore witness, Aimee Carter lit her past on fire. As the flames burned higher, engulfing her memories, her hopes, and her heartbreak, her inner flames consumed her, and rising from the ashes, the Aces and Eights princess was reborn.


The sun beat down on her midnight hair as Aimee waited patiently for the chapter meeting to end; growing up amongst it, she knew the consequences of disrespecting the order of things in club life. Her Dad was especially brutal in his leadership.

William "Wild Bill" Carter made his bones at the tender age of fourteen. He earned his handle because of his ruthless nature and cunning intellect, and standing at six foot five of lethal muscle Wild Bill had challenged for President and won on his 18th birthday. He had ruled with an iron fist ever since.

Aimee and her younger sister Tatiana were bought up by the grizzled riders and one or two club rotters (hookers) with maternal urges over the years, their mother having passed away during Tatiana's birth. Aimee was only two years old at the time and had no recollection of her.

Now, at aged twenty-one, Aimee had more of an understanding of how hard things must have been for her Dad; he had barely turned twenty when Tatiana was born and found himself the single parent of not one but two girls when his presidency was still fairly new.

Of course, mistakes were made, and things were said in the heat of the moment. Aimee just hoped that, like her, William had had a chance to put things in perspective during the past three years.

Aimee looked up with narrowed eyes as the clubhouse door opened, and the sound of belly laughter reached her ears.

The music had started back up inside, the clubhouse bar, aptly named the Wild West, was starting to come alive, and a few riders jostled their way out the front door, lighting up their cigarettes.

One figure, in particular, seemed to sense that they weren't alone, his grey eyes doing a quick search of the parking lot and finally coming to rest on her tiny figure...Braxton.

Breaking away from the others, the club's sergeant at arms swaggered over to where Aimee was parked.

Finally, his leanly muscled frame stopped in front of her, and Aimee suppressed an instinctive shiver of appreciation as his deep gravelly voice uttered one word.

"Aimee."

It wasn't a question. Despite being five years older than Aimee, Braxton Hayes had made his intentions towards her clear the moment she turned fifteen, he had laid claim to her and became her protective bodyguard until Aimee came of age at eighteen-her fathers words, not his- when Duncan would formally declare his eldest daughter Braxton's old lady, or in their club, his queen, the bikers other half, and the one they swore to forsake all others for.

Except that it hadn't turned out that way. Instead of giving her heart to the man who had protected her, Aimee had fallen for Conner's fantasy life, turned her back on her family, and never looked back.

Except, now here she was, back at square one, face to face with her teenage crush and the man she'd left behind.

"Why are you here, Aimee?"

Braxton shifted restlessly on his feet, running his hands through his thick brown hair, and flaying Aimee wide open with his flinty grey eyes.

She was reminded once again why he was called The Henchman, harvester of souls.. his very presence radiated raw dangerous power; it didn't help that he exuded dominant sexuality. She recalled once, a long time ago, one of the rotters referred to him as sex on a stick; Aimee subconsciously wet her lips as she thought to herself, she could certainly see why.

It took a moment for her to realize that Brax was waiting for an answer, and it dawned on Aimee that he was asking her in a formal capacity, as the Sergeant at arms, her father's Capo, and not as her one time betrothed in the bikers world.

"Sh*t Brax," She huffed, standing tall and meeting his gaze, unflinching despite the glare of the sun, and the man in front of her, "Can we just cut the crap? If*cked up, and now I'm here to eat sh*t, apologize to my father, and hope like f*ck that he will take pity on me, and take me back, I am home now and ready to commit to the club, maybe see my baby sister, probably get drunk, depending on how well this goes, and try my damndest to forget the last 3 years of my life, got a problem with that?!"

She was secretly proud of the fact that she managed to deliver a response without her voice trembling, and despite himself, Brax let out a reluctant chuckle.

"Jesus, baby girl, you may look like an angel, but you've still got a nasty ass mouth on you, and your halo is as crooked as f*ck. You'll find the Prez in his office."

He revealed gruffly; as Aimee went to brush past her former crush, the touch of a hand on her shoulder made her gasp as tingles exploded where their bodies connected.

Braxton leaned over, his gorgeous mouth nuzzling against her neck, making her instantly wet, imagining what he was about to do, but his lips barely brushed her ear as he whispered, "Go easy on him, Aimee, the last three years haven't been kind, and your Dad may bite before he thinks."

With that said, he straightened, tipped his head to her, and turned away, striding back to his comrades and leaving Aimee flustered and alone.

    The Aces and Eights stood in a clear standoff with the Ladrona pack as Jenny made her escape. Another time, another place, her wolf whispered in regret. With her brothers' help, she managed to get into the back of the family truck, and with a look that spoke volumes, her father lowered the canopy, making sure to leave a gap so that Jenny could see the night sky. "Mates, huh?" she whispered to herself as they drove steadily out of the territory; despite the dire situation, Jenny Vasquez smiled like a woman in love. Her human had proved himself anything but weak tonight, and she couldn't deny that Adam was as sexy as all hell. She hoped that their paths would cross again soon. In fact, she looked forward to it. In the meantime, though, her whole family had picked up sticks and left a pack where they held a prominent position, and they'd done it for her; she really owed her father and brothers for coming through for her. It seemed the Vasquez family were destined to be rogues again-but a

    "Tell me again why I'm doing this?" Aimee muttered as she and Adam snuck across the yard from the packhouse. Adam looked nervous, and he was slow to answer, "Do you believe in dreams, boss?" Aimee looked at him sideways as they rounded the corner."What kind of dreams?" She asked as they went past the clinic and through the main gate leading to the holding cells."The kind of dreams where a beautiful lady comes and tells you that your one-night stand is also your mate and that if you don't get her out of the hole, her pack will kill her kind of dream?" Adam confessed."Holy shit!"Aimee looked at Adam to see if he was taking the piss, but one glance told her he wasn't. She exhaled slowly, "Enough said." She conceded as they stopped in front of the hole. Aimee tried forcing the lock, but it easily withstood the strength of a wolf, and Adam shook his head, laughing quietly as he pulled out a mini blowtorch from his jacket.Kneeling, he crouched while

    Braxton and Aimee lay in bed, cuddled up at the packhouse. After the Alpha had done a complete one-eighty, insisting on them staying as his guests until Adam was better, the MC management was quick to hit the sack after their long ride."What do you think will happen to her?" Aimee asked, and Braxton stiffened beside her. He reluctantly told Aimee about the hole and what usually happened to anyone put in it. As expected, his woman was furious. "That's ridiculous," Aimee sputtered, "You heard her tell everyone that Adam's her mate, so she stole a bike and punched a human? It's hardly cause for execution."Brax shrugged uncomfortably. In many ways, Aimee was still human; she operated to human laws and struggled with the shifter caste systems- it was a huge adjustment for a human turned werewolf, and sometimes he struggled with how to approach her on things like this-nevertheless he had to try."Xavier has no choice. He bought a team of warriors with him to aid his

    Jenny tried to move past the lump in her throat as Adam lay bleeding on the gravel. Jax had her arm, dragging her away when Jenny's wolf muscled her way through, catching Jen completely off guard. "Leave me alone. I need to stay with my mate." Rosa's firm voice growled, and Jenny lost control of her body completely. In a flurry of tangled arms and legs, Rosa fought mindlessly against those seeking to restrain her. Brown eyes turned to charcoal, and the trembling began. Someone yelled, "Watch out, she's shifting!"And then Jenny's world turned black.Somehow Xavier managed to stop a full shift. But Jenny was immediately taken back to the packhouse, unconscious. Her brothers carried her to an SUV and made sure she was comfortable in the back before it drove off. Then Jaxon and Kyle turned around, tentatively asking, "What will happen to our sister?"Xavier shook his head, refusing to answer. Pack rules were clear. It was how he maintained order amongst the criminals. Jenn

    The boy put up a fight, phasing into his wolf as soon as he realized that it was his best chance of winning. But, he was no match for Braxton. Aimee's mate showed incredible restraint, beating the beta wolf into submission without breaking a sweat and the Prez thought to herself that he should be rewarded for that when they were alone. A fact that was wholly endorsed by her wolf. Now they were in front of the garage where the bike thief was hiding.

    It was dark by the time Jenny pulled into her father's garage. The beautiful purr of the iron horse under her made the journey go by quickly, but as she looked at her watch, she wasn't surprised to see it was after nine pm. Dad would already closed for the evening, but Jaxon or Kyle might still be tinkering on something inside if she was lucky. She got off the bike and impatiently knocked on the window. Sure enough, a rattle of chains signaled someone was inside, and as the roller door rolled up, her younger brother Kyle was there, wrench in one hand, dirty rag in the other as he whistled at her latest ride. "Do I even wanna ask how you came by that, Jen?""Probably not," Jenny drawled as she tossed him the keys, "Take it for a spin, see if it needs anything done before we onsell-oh-and stay away from Howling for a while.

    Karistus could smell the decay as soon as she crossed Armageddon's boundaries. Behind her, Rage and Karma growled lowly as they were hit with the same stench, and it never got any easier for either of them. Wolves who had strayed too far from the pure path to be saved emitted the same odor-the worse the soul, the higher the smell, and Luther Salvatore was like a homing beacon to the judge and her jury.They found him out running. Karistus and her team looked like a shimmer in the air to other pack members- but to the accused, they appeared in full form. The old Alpha wolf saw them as he passed through the canyon, and as they thought it might, the chase began. He was a quick and agile adversary, but for the first time in his life, Luther couldn't outrun his judgment.
