KianBy the time I finished, it was almost nine a.m. We stepped outside into the full glare of the sun, still wearing the clothes from last night. My mouth felt refreshed after a cup of coffee, but my teeth were still grainy. I must have smelled like a silage tanker, but I was all out of fucks to give. Jax and I both donned a pair of aviator shades as we strolled through to the respectable side of town, looking anything but respectable. We looked like a couple of teenage tearaways who were due to show up at court.“I’m feeling better,” Jaxton muttered as we walked.People passed us on the roads and gave us the side-eye; whether they were driving past in their cars, out for their morning jog, or walking the family dog, their disdainful looks were all the same. It was the type of look that made you feel about as welcome as a dose of dog shit on this fine summer’s day, stinking up the power-washed sidewalk and tarnishing the pristine-perfect streets.I saw the quaint little café ahead an

Kian“I’m grateful that you’re here with me, keeping my mind occupied and all,” I replied, gearing myself ready to blast back with the “all due respect” retaliation speech, but the waitress walked out of the kitchen with our food.It saved the day and provided us with pleasant silence while we ate. Even afterward, nothing more got brought up about my future. Not even after we tipped the waitress and left, the walk home was all about sports and Jax trying to talk me into trading in my Capri for a motorcycle. It took my mind away from Charlie and whether he’d manage to persuade Mrs. B to go with him back to Whitevale.Jax stayed with me for a couple of extra nights before his duties called him back to the clubhouse. I had showered once all week, then spent every day shuffling between Mrs. B’s place and mine. The grief seemed to worsen whenever I found myself alone. I found it easier to box things away, pulling all the framed photographs down off the walls and packing them carefully. I p

Kian“I will let you know if anything changes,” Charlie promised. “Take care of yourself, Kian.”With the phone pressed against my ear, I squeezed my eyes shut and dragged in a deep breath. “Thanks, I appreciate it.” I ended the call, then slipped my phone inside my jacket pocket.Any day now. It could be today, or maybe tomorrow. I knew the next time Mrs. B’s son, Charlie, called, it would be to relay some bad news.With the weight of the world weighing heavily on my mind, I slumped against my steering wheel, resting my forehead against the toughened leather. It was eight thirty on a Monday morning. Classes were due to start at 8:50. If it wasn’t for the promise of a scholarship, I would’ve opted to stay at home with Jaxton. His parents had been nothing but supportive to me during the last two weeks, putting a roof over my head and setting a place for me at their dinner table. Their extended family, the biker clan, had been a godsend to me too, keeping my mind occupied by teaching me

Viper City Residential Institution.Gia Current Age: 12.My heart rattled inside my chest as I paced the room, anxiously waiting for Sarah, my social worker, to open the crumpled envelope."Gia, for goodness’ sake." She chuckled. "Take a seat. You're going to wear a hole in the carpet.""This is huge," I expressed, my words spluttering from my lips in a fluster. "I can't believe you kept this from me all this time."I trusted Sarah. Despite me being bounced from foster home to foster home, she had been the only consistency in my life. She wasn't like the others who were full of false empathy. I could tell that she was fond of me. I had been here the longest. She got to hold me when I was barely an hour old. Sarah was always telling me that if I worked hard, I could make something of myself. My shitty situation didn't define who I was. I could be whoever I wanted to be."I'm sorry." Sarah's blue eyes flinched with remorse, worried that she had let me down.Of course, she hadn't. She h

Kian"What do you mean? It's nothing. Kian, you arrived home with blood on your shirt. Do you think I was born yesterday?" Jaxton's mom, Jenna, chastised, tapping her foot anxiously."No, ma'am," I replied, avoiding eye contact.Jenna was scary when angered. She wore a fistful of golden rings that doubled as a set of knuckle dusters: a present from her husband, which was befitting of a biker queen.Throttle was standing at the side of his wife with his arms folded in front of his chest. His left brow was arched above his eye like he didn't believe a word I was saying."Start talking, boy, or my fingers will start dialing the school's number," he threatened, convinced that the incident had taken place there.“I made a promise to your poppa at his graveside, and I intend to fulfill that promise.”I didn't want any trouble. I especially didn't want to drag my problems here, not when the Archers had been so good to me. People had been riding my back about it all day at school. They believ

KianThe clubhouse was nothing more than a rundown shack surrounded by herringbone fencing. An ocean of motorcycles littered the parking lot guarded by a couple of prospects. They were mean-looking guys who were itching to make their colors as a respectable part of the crew. They eyed Throttle as the second coming of Christ and were all about ready to bow down and kiss his dusty boots. As I walked by, I found myself dragged into a headlock and a set of knuckles rubbed against the top of my scalp."I knew you'd come around," Ace, one of the prospects, cited, blowing his blond, jaw-length hair out of his face, his blue eyes dancing with glee.He was a year older than me, having joined the club to follow in his father's footsteps. The guy standing next to him was called Blade: dark-haired, silver eyes, and deadly with a knife. Hence the name."Let him be," Jenna berated them, casting them a humored scowl.Throttle's demeanor was as cool as ice. "Get back to business," he muttered, "or el

Kian"You're on last," Chance announced, popping his head around the doorway.Throttle nudged his way past him, accompanied by Jenna.Jenna gave me that motherly look as she ruffled her fingers through my hair."Hand me those clippers, will you?" she muttered to Throttle. "I'll take care of this."Throttle did as his wife asked, then crouched down to look me in the eye."The club has your back, son. The Reaper wants a word before you step into the Cage. I want you to know that we'll be watching and waiting to step in if there's any foul play. You have my word," he promised.Any other time, news of the Reaper wanting a word meant the exact opposite. If he sought you out, that was usually to put a bullet in your skull. Now I was interested to find out what he wanted with me. What could a nobody from the slums of Forest Hills possibly have to offer the Reaper Cartel?The noise from the hair clippers vibrated through my skull, stripping away piece after piece of the old Kian Jones.

KianA few minutes passed by before the end of the round bell started to ring in my ears. That was my cue to drag my anxious ass out of the locker room and greet my opponent. I did so with a confident swagger, putting on a show for all the cheering fans. The crowd grew wild as my robe dropped to the floor, and I began the routine warm-up at the foot of the Cage. Mad Dog eyed me from the other side like a rabid animal, hellbent on coming out of here the victor. I spotted the Reaper’s goons from across the room; the acrid green lighting made them all look like a bunch of frogs standing next to a mountain of muscle. The gator was huge, even from a distance. He gave me a nod, a signal from him to me that he was rooting for my corner. That was reassuring. I for one didn’t think I stood a chance until this morning. It felt as if the ghosts of my past were all watching over me, ready to push me back through the veil if I fell through to the other side. I could hear my momma yelling to me tha

KianJaxton called around early, just like he said he would. He hadn’t been able to sleep a wink either. Gia had fallen asleep during the early hours after exhaustion won over and dragged her into the land of dreams. Kellen woke up the same time as I did and helped me to feed the twins. Jax made Blaze some pancakes using bottled water he brought from the Clubhouse. The Clan leaders urged the local businesses to chip in and lend a helping hand. It meant that water and food parcels went out to those who were in dire need of aid, and it surprised us all when the Forest Hills ranger Jeeps drove through the slums distributing handouts. The once forgotten people of the Hills had been remembered, and this united us all under one banner.“Thanks for breakfast, Uncle Jax,” Blaze said after swallowing the last bite.Jax ruffled Blaze’s hair. “You’re welcome, Squirt.”Blaze craned his head back with a huge grin on his face. Gia shuffled into the kitchen at that point and helped herself to some c

GiaWe were getting ready to leave the lakeside park when a warning siren echoed around the mountains. Blaze screamed, my heart stopped with terror, and Kian and Dad shielded the girls in their arms. The few couples and families that had come to enjoy the weather began to flee back to their cars.“Mommy!” Blaze wailed, trembling as I scooped him up to run.A ranger Jeep came hurtling down the trail, announcing through a speaker phone that there was no need for anyone to panic, but they needed to evacuate the lakeside due to a suspected water contamination. People panicked and were rushing to get out of the lagoon.Like any frantic mother, I checked Blaze all over, looking for skin rashes, burns, or anything that might indicate he had been injured. My heart was in my throat. I saw other parents doing the same with their kids. It was our worst nightmare.“He didn’t want to go into the water because he didn’t want to get cold,” my dad informed me. “He stayed on my shoulders the entire ti

KianGia had been acting weird since she last watched me fight. She kept fussing with the kids, telling them how much she loved them. Anyone would think she had only weeks left to live. I told Jaxton that we would give the cookout a miss this time. Gia didn’t have much to say about that, but I could sense when my woman needed some timeout. I called up her dad and arranged for us to have a picnic at the park. I did suggest the forest, but Gia snorted with laughter and mentioned something about teddy bears and how humans made up stories about them having picnics in the woods. So, I scrapped that idea and bought a camping stove and some burgers.“It’s still a picnic, babe,” Gia mentioned, grinning. “And you’re still a big fuzzy teddy bear.”Kellen helped us to put the kids in to the minivan I bought, securing the girls into their travel seats.“The only thing fuzzy about me is my beard and my balls,” I retorted, ignoring her playful teasing as I packed our things onto the backseat.Our n

Kian“Can I watch you fight, Dad?” Blaze asked as he watched me working on my bike.I flashed him a roguish grin. “One day, Fireball.” I ruffled his hair.“Will you teach me someday?” he mumbled innocently.“If that’s what you want,” I answered, switching my biker head for my fatherly one. “But don’t you want to be something else? You can be anything you want to be. It doesn’t have to involve fighting,” I told him, wanting him to find his own path and not to follow mine.We had the means to give our kids a better life than we had. If Blaze decided he wanted to go to college and study to be a scientist, then we could afford to send him to Whitevale. It was the best damn college around. Of course, Gia would have to step foot into wolf territory, and she was still a little dubious about the shifting process. I couldn’t say that I blamed her. It was bound to hurt like a son of a bitch. I was lucky to have shifted at a young age. At least then the pain was forgotten about. It hurt less and

GiaWe said we would never go through all that again. All those sleepless nights, two-hourly feeds, and diaper changes were soul destroying. But three years later, here we were, bringing home our twin girls we called Ava and Aimee. Kian was besotted, as was Blaze. Between them, they hogged the girls and resented anyone who dared to ask for a cuddle. My boys were protective. Even Lucifer hissed curse words at whoever came calling, yelling “Fuck off!” and “Man whore!” whenever Kian’s biker brothers showed up.“Who needs a fucking guard dog when you have a featherhead with stereotypical Tourette’s,” Ace muttered under his breath.Kian rolled his eyes at his brother’s comment, and Blaze high-fived Jaxton as he walked in. Lauren followed behind him, then Blade strode in a moment later, carrying their daughter, Millie-Mae. As he put her down, she dashed off to peer in the bassinette at the twins.Lucifer squawked as Jax twirled his cage around. “Man whore!” the bird screeched loudly.“Not t

KianGia’s belly grew bigger with each passing week, and she would stand before the full-length mirror in our bedroom, asking me the same question every single time.“Do you still find me attractive?” she would ask, patting her cute little baby bump.And I would reply, “Girl, you look more and more beautiful day by day.”She would turn to me and smile, blow me a kiss, then tell me she loved me. But the second she hit her eight-month milestone, and I wasn’t even kidding, at the stroke of midnight on that final four-week countdown, she turned into the she-bitch from hell. The baby bump expanded and had morphed into a mountain. I turned to my wife to tell her she looked like a million dollars, only for her to freeze, her head slowly rotate to glare at me like that girl from The Exorcist, and then spew a barrage full of profanities at me, calling me a lying bastard, and that I should go get my eyes checked.

GiaA month had passed since we moved into our new home. My dad came to visit us every Sunday, and he was a regular face at the Clubhouse cookout. He still didn’t feel like he could face his brother after going AWOL for so long, but with our support and plenty of encouragement, we helped to restore his shattered confidence. At least we had convinced him to stop blaming himself for everything that happened. Dad helped me to choose some plants for our garden, and he and Kian laid down some fresh turf, making everything look pretty. It made me so happy to see them getting along. It truly felt as if I had the family I always wanted.“Gia,” Kian called out across the garden.He was all sweaty from working so hard, and his clothes were smeared with dirt. Dad was standing alongside him, holding up an apple tree sapling they intended to plant. I emerged through the bi-folding glass doors carrying two bottles of ice-cold beer from the fridge.

KianHer big blue eyes brimmed with hope, and she caught her bottom lip between her teeth as she grinned.“Good . . . let’s make some magic then,” I replied, wasting no time in undressing her.Ah, fuck. She’s wearing black lingerie. Black lace and heels.“The bra and panties are coming off, but you’re keeping on the shoes,” I asserted, unwrapping her like a birthday gift.She threaded her fingers through my hair, trying to hold me still as she sucked on my bottom lip like the sexy vixen she was. I toed off my boots, and she helped to tug off my shirt, then I shimmied out of my jeans, taking my boxers down with me as we kissed.A dark chuckle pushed from my lips as she writhed beneath me, pressing herself against my iron-hard cock."Please, Kian. Don't you understand that you're killing me here? I need you," she moaned, undulating her hips."What do you need, baby girl?"

KianAfter a much-needed vacation, Gia and I returned to Forest Hills to pick up the keys to our love nest. It wasn’t spectacular to look at. Sure, we owned plenty of land, but the barn was a dilapidated wreck. We had to see past all the shit and debris and visualize how we wanted it to look. Gia had her own ideas, and they conflicted with mine. She wanted whitewashed walls, floaty, see-through drapes, polished floors, and decorative crap that served no purpose other than to look pretty. She made a fucking mood board and showed every female at the Clubhouse, recruiting an army of minions to peck my head and drive me insane. I spent every morning, noon, and night at the barn alongside my brothers, working hard on putting the damn thing together. We worked tirelessly for weeks. And when we were done, Gia presented me with a small velvet box containing her contraceptive implant.“It’s out,” she announced as I eyed it with scrutiny, wondering what the fuck it was. “Dr. Rayne thinks my shi
