KianGia didn’t seem to mind me tying her up. I probably should have asked her first. My problem was that I failed to engage my brain before I acted. It was a flaw I needed to work on. At least she knew I’d never hurt her. I was crazy about her. The fact that she submitted to me was a display of trust. I’d do nothing wrong to jeopardize that. Now it was time I returned the favor and confided in my woman.“I’m ready to talk about them now,” I told her, holding her against me, stroking my fingers down her back.“Okay,” she murmured, listening. “Take your time.”A slither of moonlight pooled in through a gap in the curtains, highlighting the curvature of her body. The filthy bastard in me was loving the view and was disinclined to cover her. She seemed content to draw warmth from me.“My parents died when I was sixteen.” I started from the middle because that cut was the deepest. “They were soulmates, but they fought a lot. Dad drank himself into oblivion, and Mom lived to get high. Half

Kian“Yeah well, there’s more,” I told her. “Mom was holding a letter. I had to pull it from her fingers to read it. It was a hand-delivered telegram from the council of elders, telling her that Dad had been killed in action — shot dead by hunters. My old man — my hero — gone. Just like that.” I snapped my fingers. “My life went downhill from there on in. Mrs. B passed away. I killed a man in the Cage, and as a result, they kicked me out of school. Goodbye, scholarship. Lucky for me, the Roughnecks had my back. The rest is history.”This was me, letting my walls down to show her my vulnerable side, giving her the chance to cut and run while she still had a chance.“So, then you came to live here,” Gia inquired. “This is going to sound like a stupid question, but do you still miss them?”My lips curled into a wistful smile. “Sometimes. I guess their ending was poetic, in a fucked-up way. They couldn’t stand to be in the same room as one another for too long, and now they’re entombed to

KianWe spent the rest of the day decluttering my apartment. Gia took great pleasure sorting through my “crap” until everything had a purpose and a place. I had to admit, she pulled a miracle in the space of three hours. She filled several garbage bags full of junk and piled them up on the balcony. My bike parts had to go through the process of elimination; anything that was surplus to requirements had to go. I was in no position to argue. They had been sitting there gathering dust for years.Gia's cleaning regime was like a nesting instinct that human women experience when they fall pregnant. It's in our instinct to prepare for the arrival of our offspring. Her hormones were giving me all the right signals, setting off my primal urge to rut. Tonight was operation “mark and mate Gia”, and I had spent the entire afternoon making sure everything was perfect. I ran through the list in my head one more time.A warm bubble bath — I'm on it.Scented candles — check.Champagne on ice — fuck,

KianUsually, women didn't miss a fucking thing. They could sniff out whenever the slightest thing was out of place. Or was that just when they're being paranoid or pissed off about something? I'll be damned if I know. There was enough time for me to nip to the kitchen, grab the champagne — no fancy glasses because I didn't think that far ahead — so I settled for highball glasses instead.As I came back in the room and set the champagne and glasses down on the nightstand, Gia practically landed on the box before realizing it was there. I curled my fingers around my jaw in an observational pose. She was such a fucking mystery.She picked up the box to inspect it. "What's this?" she asked."Open it and find out," I replied, finding her actions funny.As soon as she saw what it contained, she squealed the apartment down like a screaming banshee, jumping on me and ambushing me with kisses."Oh my God, Kian, it's beautiful," she exclaimed before bursting into tears.I froze like an idiot.

Gia"You're making a huge fuss over nothing. I think it looks awesome," Kian complimented as I observed my sore butt in the mirror.I turned to him, outraged. "It's easy for you to say. You're not the one who's struggling to sit down!"His expression pinched with remorse. "Sorry, darlin'." The contrite tone of his voice told me he meant it. "I figured you wouldn't want a big ugly scar on your throat."My heart clenched, worried that I had offended him. It was his mark. He gave it to me. How could I not love it?"Kian, there's nothing ugly about it. I love your mark. Do you like the one I gave to you? Do you think it's ugly?" Now I was paranoid.His hand flew to the side of his neck, his eyes flaring wide. "No . . . no way. I'm proud of my mating mark."My teeth marks left a dainty little wound compared to his. My ass looked as if a great white shark had mauled me."I just don't get why you chose to bite me on the ass, that's all," I replied, baffled by it.Kian pushed up from the bed

GiaPaparazzi pointed cameras in our faces, snapping pictures like maniacs. The light blinded me, making it hard to see a single fucking thing. White dots danced in my vision, and all I could hear was chaos happening all around us. Since getting kidnapped by rogue wolves and a wayward werebear, my cage-fighting hero, Kian Jones, a biker bear from the Roughnecks Motorcycle Club, had rescued me, carried me to his den on his steel horse, married me, bit me on the ass, and rocked my world between the sheets. My hubby’s fame drew attention wherever we went. Five minutes ago, we were at the courthouse signing our mating license, and now reporters were shoving cameras and microphones in our faces.“This is breaking news! Forest Hills' very own notorious celebrity, the Beast, has just been spotted at Town Hall with a woman who appears to be his mate. Phew! Don’t you just love the smell of pheromones?” a blonde-haired news reporter spoke into the camera from a few feet away from us.Press mobb

GiaI didn’t have to turn around to find Kian because his muscular arms wrapped around me and pulled me against his chest. We stayed like that, basking in the peaceful moment, just soaking up the silence.A drop of moisture streaked down my face, and for a second, I thought it was Kian’s tears. Water droplets fell from the sky, and I glanced up and saw the rain cloud looming overhead.“That’s my dad’s way of telling us to fuck off,” he remarked.Kian jerked his head. “Come on, let’s go take a slow ride to the Clubhouse.”A stream of smoke drifted above the club’s parking lot, hitting my taste buds with the delicious scent of barbecued meat. To anyone else, it looked like a redneck party, but Kian explained it was the weekly cookout. It was a members-only event. Those who were mated brought their women along, and those who were single got to mingle with the pass-arounds. I spotted Lauren and breathed a sigh of relief. Kian introduced me to Jaxton’s parents, and I took a shine to Jenna

Kian"They keep moving the women to throw the wolf pack off the scent," Jaxton notified me."They are running out of places to hide; it's only a matter of time until the Alpha Dog catches up with them. Speaking of cursed Lycans . . . he reached out to me last night. His rangers found a ransom notice stabbed to a tree. It was from the Hellhounds.""A ransom note? Saying what?" I demanded.There wasn't a flicker of humor upon Jaxton's face. He was gravely serious. I knew right then that this involved my woman."That we have twenty-four hours to hand over the girl, or there will be consequences," he informed me.The anger stirred within me. My wife wasn't a bargaining chip. She was mine, and Claw would have to go through me to get to her."That isn’t happening," I growled as his words triggered something lethal inside me. "I'll slaughter him and anyone else who threatens to take her from me. I don't have to wait for yours or the Alpha Dog's say so. I'll track him down myself."The brothe

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. 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
