KianGia borrowed a spare pair of jeans and a pair of Claw's stinking old boots to ride home in. The second we reached my apartment, her eyes scoured around the lively streets like she was anxious to be out in the open. The guys from the opposite apartment were burning a pile of mail and newspapers in an old rusty trash can. I curled my fingers back and forth, signaling her to take off the boots. She did as I instructed, and I hurled them into the flames, glad to be rid of them. For a shitty back street alley, the ground was clear of splintered glass and debris thanks to Gunner being such a neat freak. At least she wouldn't cut her feet on the asphalt.“Here we are. Home sweet home," I indicated, pointing to the iron staircase at the back of the tattoo shop. They zigzagged all the way up to my apartment.Gia glanced up, squinting her eyes. "You live here?" She didn't sound appalled, which was a plus point. More like intrigued."Yeah, ever since I turned sixteen and could afford to pay

Kian"Here, why don't you freshen up and let me take care of everything else?" I said, handing her the bundle.She was just about to apologize for being a burden, but I exaggerated clearing my throat with an abrupt, “ahem”. "Go on, get." I jerked my head. "I need to square a few things with the Prez and have the doctor check you over."Gia bobbed her head and smiled. As soon as I heard the soft click of the bathroom door closing, I pulled out my phone and called Dr. Rayne. She informed me she would be over within the hour, so I contacted Jaxton next."Hey . . ." He answered the call in an anxious tone. "Blade and Ace told me what happened. I thought I gave you strict instructions to bring all captives to the clubhouse? What part of that order confused you? Because it seemed pretty straightforward to me.""I got this one, bro. Just trust me on this, okay?" I replied, pacing the living room floor."It doesn't work that way, and you know it. We need to find out what she knows. Maybe she

Kian"I went there hoping to follow those guys back to Whitehaven. You could say I got my comeuppance." She toyed with the food on her plate, pushing the rice to one side with the tip of her fork.I continued to eat, stabbing my fork through another chicken ball."How come you knew about this place? What connection do you have with Claw and the Hellhounds?" I asked, trying to connect the dots."My mother said that my dad was from around here. I don't know Claw or any of those wolves you mentioned. I assume they were wolves. Claw mumbled something about them being filthy mutts. All I know is that they're going around kidnapping women to use as fuck toys and baby-makers. That fucker Claw was about to rape me before they called him away. Something about the Alpha wolf being onto them . . . or something like that.""Alec from Whitevale. I guess they've rattled all the wrong cages," I said, mulling that over.Jaxton would be relieved to hear about that. If Alec White learned of their antic

Gia Kian's room smelled just like him: leather, smoke, and engine oil. He hadn't made his bed this morning, leaving the comforter in a bundled heap. I had to straighten it out before I could lie down. His mattress was so soft it was like I was floating on a cloud. The same whitewashed walls flowed throughout the apartment. He wasn't big on cleaning. I could tell by all the dirty fingerprints around the light switches. His house was far from filthy, just disorganized.There weren't any pictures or posters anywhere, certainly nothing that could tell the story of his life. Beast, Kian, or whoever he said he was, remained a mystery. He didn't own matching furniture; it was as if he'd gained things as the years went by. Bike parts were on top of every surface like greasy ornaments. My eyes landed on the ashtray full of cigarette butts, giving away the fact that he smoked. Was he the kind of guy who liked to light up after he fucked? I glanced around to see if I could spot any feminine ite

GiaA jealous feeling I had no right to feel slithered around in my stomach. It left an ugly, bitter taste on my tongue. I couldn't even justify it."I can do that," he answered as if convincing himself.The mattress dipped under his weight, and I shuffled over to give him a little extra room. Now we were shoulder to shoulder, awkwardly close with only the comforter separating us."So . . . I'm really part shifter," I said, letting that information filter through my head.He handed me a root beer, then reached for the other. I took a large mouthful, the fizzy liquid tickling my nose."Yup," he answered, taking a swig from his bottle. "The doc confirmed it. I can't believe I missed it, but you did stink of a dozen other dogs.""Dogs?" I cast sly eyes, detecting the disdain in his tone. "You don't like wolves much, do you?"He gave an indifferent shrug. "Most of them are entitled asshats; present company excused.""That's good to know because I can't help my parents. I don't feel differ

KianI couldn’t sleep.Violent thoughts whirled around my head like a tornado. I wanted to hunt down and kill Claw, but that was a dumb idea. It had to be done right. There was no way I could wage a personal war without dragging the entire club into it. Gia was mine, and that was the second half of the problem. One thing was stopping me from telling her that. I didn’t want to influence her choices. If she felt any spark of attraction toward me, it had to be as nature intended. Not because I turned all “caveman” on her ass and dragged her to bed by her hair. That wasn’t me. I wasn’t Claw.Gia didn’t deserve a moron like him, or a monster like me. She deserved so much better.It was usually peaceful out here on the balcony top at this time of night. A high-pitched war was taking place in the parking lot. I peered over the rendered wall to scan the ground below. Two stray cats were fighting like Berserkers and making enough damned noise to wake the dead. It made a change — me being a spe

Kian “I . . . I have a criminal record,” I stammered. My inner voice was screaming, “No! What the fuck are you doing? You’re going to blow it!” Gia settled into a kneeling position. “Big deal. Me too.” “But I’ve killed people.” I didn’t know why I confessed that, but I figured we better lay all of our cards on the table. Gia made a “meh” face. “Yeah . . . I can’t say I relate to that, but I’m pretty sure my cooking gave a former roommate the shits.” I just told her the butt-ugly truth, and all she did was wrinkle her nose with indifference. Okay, I can work with this. Maybe I do have a fair shot at this mating game. “So, you can’t cook for shit?” I joked, making light of it. Gia narrowed her eyes with a smirk. “So, you’re a stone-cold killer?” she quipped. “Are you scared?” I asked, feeling the sexual tension build. “Should I be?” she replied, circling her finger around my pectorals. The heat we were throwing off was stifling. It was only a matter of time before one of us p

GiaI woke to the piercing sound of the smoke alarm. My eyes took a second to adjust, and as I swallowed my heart back down, I sucked in a lungful of bacon-infused air. Bacon and burned toast.“Shit! Fucking grill,” Kian complained from the kitchen.Just when I thought he couldn’t be more perfect, he exceeded my expectations by cooking me breakfast. Or at least he was trying to.I flung back the comforter and got out of bed, stretching my arms with a yawn. My bruises were gone. There wasn’t one visible mark on my body. It was as if nothing had happened.My stomach rumbled, and I followed the charred scent wafting my way through the smog. Kian was standing by the stove wearing the boxer briefs he’d slept in, tossing a burned piece of toast between his hands.“Fuck, that’s hot,” he growled.“You know what they say; if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen,” I commented, announcing my presence.Kian sent the toast hurtling through the open window like a smoldering Frisbee.

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
