GiaKian’s jaw flopped open, and he froze like that. I thought that I broke him until he blinked and started stammering. I could hear hearty laughter rumbling down the line, and then a male with a strong Cajun accent hollered, “Well, hello there, Mon Chere. I’m liking you already.”Kian’s deadpan stare hinted that he wasn’t happy about this, but he didn’t refuse me. He flared his nostrils and shook his head at me, jabbing his finger towards the door as if to say, “Go back inside”, but I stood my ground, folding my arms and tapping my foot as a sign that I wasn't going anywhere.“We’ll talk about this some other time, all right?” he grumbled into his cell phone. "I'll call you back."The guy on the other end of the line seemed satisfied with that and told Kian to pass on his well-wishes to me. Kian ended the call and shoved the phone inside his pocket. My hubby was agitated, but he wasn't mad at me like he was at the Clubhouse.“You realize you just cut a deal with the devil, don’t you

KianI hammered on Jaxton’s door like I was a fucking bailiff coming to clean the place out. At first, the apartment was in darkness, but five minutes later a light flicked on upstairs. He lived above the motorcycle shop he and his dad owned. His humble abode was exactly how mine looked before Gia moved in and gave it a feminine touch.“Hold your horses, I’m coming!” Jaxton yelled irritably as he thundered downstairs.He may be my Alpha, but he was still an unmated male. His evenings could consist of a sordid ménage à trois with two of the club whores for all I knew. That could be why he was taking so long to answer the goddamned door. Either that, or he just wasn’t a morning person.“Beast, what the hell? Did you piss the bed? It’s five a.m. What gives?” Jax grumbled, scraping the sleep from the corners of his eyes. He bounced his gaze between us, taking in Gia’s bedraggled appearance from the oversized T-shirt to her bare feet.“Someone torched my apartment while we were sleeping,”

KianThe rest of the day was tense. Everybody felt it. Our old ladies busied themselves with cleaning, and I’m not talking about using a mop and bucket, I mean organizing weapons and battening down the hatches. The retired members put their DIY skills to great use, barricading the windows with tabletops and spare planks of wood from the storage yard. The Reaper came good on his word, providing us with an arsenal of firearms. Jax and I distributed them among the brothers and the women. I handed Gia a handgun, and she tucked it into the waistband of her borrowed jeans.“You didn’t check it,” I reprimanded her for being so darn gullible, scowling down at her. “You should always check your rounds. Don’t assume I handed you a loaded weapon. It could be empty for all you know.”It may have sounded harsh, but it would be worse if she couldn’t defend herself.She swallowed a gulp and nodded. “Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry,” she stammered as she did what I asked and checked. “I’m good.”“Do yo

GiaMy arm ached with the effort of hammering nails into wood. Our work was done. There was nothing more we could do. Now it was just a waiting game. I took a step backward to admire our handiwork; my hairline was saturated with sweat, and my fingers hurt. We secured every window and all but one exit, barricading us inside. Exhausted from the work, I mopped my brow with the back of my hand. There was only one way in and one way out, through the kitchen door. Throttle made sure that if there was a fire, we could all escape via the storage yard.“Any sign of trouble?” Jenna asked, prompting me to squint through the cracks in the timber.I peered up and down the roadside, seeing nothing out of the ordinary. “No. So far so good,” I replied.The fight would have started by now. My stomach swirled with nerves, wishing there was some other way I could find out what was going on. Just like any illegal fight, they didn’t broadcast it on television or radio. Throttle disclosed that if this was

GiaA swarm of bullets flew through the clubhouse and took out three of our crew. Blood spread from their bodies like crimson puddles. I couldn’t help them. No one could. Jenna didn’t dare contact Jaxton in case it blew his cover at the auction. We were all alone out here with no one around to save us.“We ought to call the authorities,” I suggested.“The Clan leaders. The Rangers. Anybody.”The bears howled with laughter as if I’d just told the world’s funniest joke.Jenna spared me a fleeting glance as she rained bullets into the parking lot. “Oh, honey. No one is coming. We’re the scum of society. They don’t care if we wipe each other out.”“That ain’t right,” I roared, outraged by how little they valued us.What about the law? They couldn’t just sit back and do nothing as the rogues slaughtered us one by one. But they could. And they were. No one was running to rescue us from the Hellhounds’ assault. Not like they did when Kian’s apartment was on fire. This didn’t involve anyone e

KianKill them.Kill them all.A red mist fell before my eyes, and all I could think about was bloodshed and carnage. Without uttering a single word of warning, I came at Claw with unbridled savagery. He hurt her. He laid his hands on my wife. Claw had brought the dogs to our door. The blood of our kin stained his palms, and I'd make damn sure that he would pay with his life.Claw let go of Gia's hair as I swung a punch at his face. Bullets whizzed past my head, one grazing my cheek. I didn't once flinch, not even blinking like the pain didn't matter. I couldn't reverse the devastation he'd caused, but I could sure as shit make it right.Claw's face jerked to the side, his lip swelling upon impact. Hellhounds formed a circle all around us, creating a hostile barrier between us and the clubhouse."Is this how you plan to best me?" I growled, scowling upon him like the vermin he was. "By bringing these mongrels along to fight your battles?"Claw's eyes flitted around at the rogue wolves

KianBullets rained upon them from the clubhouse, buying me a fighting chance. Dogs swarmed all over me like a prime steak, biting, snapping, snarling like rabid mutts. Something switched inside my brain, letting the bloodthirsty creature from within take the wheel. Coarse brown fur burst through my skin as I tore through my shift, rising on my hind legs in a sky-splitting roar.Dogs leaped this way and that, and I swatted them away like flies. My claws scored through fur and flesh in a monstrous game of war. The ground shook with every forceful impact. Wolf shifters skidded through the dust, crashing into parked cars, buildings, and taking out the boundary fence as if it was made of string.Claw had seized the opportunity to shift while they incapacitated me. He struck me hard across my face in a cheap shot. Light burst in my eyes and blood fell from the sky like crimson rain, splattering all that it touched. Claw jumped into the thick of the battle, butting me in the stomach to wind

GiaJaxton said we could stay at his place for as long as we liked, but we didn't want to impose. Two weeks passed, and I felt awkward about putting him out. He insisted it was fine, volunteering to stay at his parents’ house to give us some privacy. We’d scoured the real estate pages like hawks, but nothing caught our eyes. I didn’t like the idea of a log cabin in the mountains, and Kian didn’t want to move to the suburbs. The barn conversion we kept talking about seemed more appealing day by day. Kian was keen to take on the construction side of things, whereas I was happy to observe as the project manager. He would do all the donkey work, and all I would have to do was make it look pretty.“Come sit down, your coffee is getting cold,” I called out to Kian who was searching high and low for a phone charger.I noticed it poking out beneath the newspaper on the kitchen table, and I chuckled to myself. He stalked back into the room with the look of doom etched across his face, then slu

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. I played the most intense game of dodge the flying ornament as I scrambled from th

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. My guys had been hard at work all afternoon, and th

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?" I began skimming my lips around the areola of one puckered nipple.She opened her mouth to order me to touch her, to

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
