"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

    KianBoth women screamed with fright, crumpling into a heap around the toilet basin. Gia's butt hit the flusher, and Lauren's foot slipped in the water with a splash. Blade followed me in with a face like thunder. Our wives had broken the club rules, and it was our job to reprimand them."Shit! My suede boots!" Lauren complained. "They're ruined.""My steel toe caps will ruin your ass if you don't get the fuck out of that stall!" Blade roared.Gia's eyes flared wide as she saw me. "Kian . . . what are you doing in here? It’s the ladies’ bathroom.""You were listening in on Club business." I jabbed my finger at her accusingly.Lauren sniffed, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears. "Don't spank me here," she pleaded with Blade, sounding desperate to avoid the humiliation.Gia crossed her arms in a defensive pose. "So what? We went to the bathroom together. Since when is peeing considered breaking the rules." My pocket princess stood her ground.I flicked my eyes to the open vent and

    GiaIt had been a solid week since Kian reprimanded me at the Clubhouse. Their sexist rules made us girls feel like we couldn’t protect ourselves. I could see why Jenna and Lauren took liberties from time to time. The spankings hurt, and the ass-fuckings hurt even more, but we all seemed to find a way to break the rules and earn ourselves another reprimand. It's like we couldn't get enough. Our bikers were always ready for a little rough and tumble, even in front of their brothers. It was their way of life. I had no shame whenever it came to stripping down in public. Heck, I used to do it for a living. A private dance was one thing, but when my husband demanded his lunch, he was talking about eating my pussy. The other guys were the same with their wives. You dropped your panties and laid with your legs spread on the table, or they would come and chase you down if you tried to run away. The first time was embarrassing. The second time was awkward. Now I didn’t bother to wear underwear

    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

    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
