Alyssa Last night, after King offered Mason the chance to join us, Mason hesitated, saying he needed time to think about it. Still, he ended up sleeping in the room with us, curled up in an armchair, which left me a little bit disappointed but ultimately respectful of his decision. I don't want hi
After everything that happened yesterday, I can't look at my brother the same way, but I can't help feeling concerned. "Rough night?" I ask lightly, glancing at Zuri to find her watching him with wide, curious eyes as she shoves a banana into her mouth. "Christine flushed all my fucking pills dow
Mason Damn it. Why am I such a coward? From the way Niko was looking at me last night, it was like he was silently urging me to take King's offer, but I just couldn't do it. I don't know why. I'm already helplessly attached to Alyssa; I want her more than my next fucking breath, but the thought
I take a step closer to her, my heart pounding. "Then, I'd give you whatever you wanted, little warrior. I just want you to be safe and happy." Right then and there I decide that I'm done standing on the sidelines. No matter what it takes, I need her to be mine. Even if I have to play by King's ru
Alyssa Niko walks me downstairs and out back toward a massive barn in the rear of the clubhouse. Apparently, this is their "church," a spot reserved for serious club gatherings, and tonight, it's for me and King. My nerves are skittering, but I manage to keep it together. Niko's solid grip on my
Alyssa I follow King to his black and blue Harley, already regretting my eagerness. I just wanted the pleasure he offered me, not the ride on his roaring death trap. Damn King and his filthy promises. "Can't you just eat me out and fuck me right here?" I ask, my voice betraying a hint of nerv
King The night air is thick with the scent of pine and earth as I count down from ten, each number a beat pounding in my chest. Alyssa's footsteps have already disappeared into the dark woods, and the thrill of the hunt sparks a wild heat low in my gut. It's a perfect night for this, to let out
I tug her pants down and discover she isn't wearing panties. "Fuck, kitten," I groan. She laughs breathlessly. "Like they'd fit under these tight pants?" Without another word, I thrust deep, each movement pushing her harder against the rough bark, my fingers wrapping around her throat as I rock
And I'll make sure he never gets close enough to hurt her again. Even if it means I never see her again. Even if it kills me inside. I'll just keep myself busy. The Iron Serpents belongs to me now. This place is my home to rebuild. The drugs stay. I don't give a shit what anyone snorts, smoke
War "You can't keep me in here!" Logan's voice ricochets through the bars of the cage he built for me—now the same one I've slammed shut on his pathetic ass. "Oh, I can, motherfucker," I growl. "You're the reason we can't have her." I kissed her twice tonight—the first time, not because I deser
I never thought they'd actually propose—or actually want to be married.Especially King.But he did say one day he wanted me to have his ring and property patch. I guess that day is today.I try to keep it together—really fucking try—but the grin's already pulling at my mouth."Don't you think this
AlyssaThe house we pull up to hours later actually looks... normal.Not some abandoned, half-collapsed shithole like I'd pictured. No broken windows. No graffiti. No front door hanging off the hinges. Just a small, weathered house tucked in the woods, its cracked driveway swallowed by weeds, a wra
The van rumbles low behind us.Somewhere in the distance, police sirens whisper on the wind."Can I kiss you?" he asks, his voice rough around the edges. Holy shit. Was he just asking the guys for permission to ask me?"Okay," I breathe.His mouth claims mine—slow, bruising, deliberate. Nothing li
AlyssaThe container door stays shut after they leave me with Gray, not wanting me to inhale any more fumes. Gray shifts restlessly beside me, having already ordered the other Reapers guarding the perimeter to clear out. He's ready to get the hell out of here, but we have to wait for the guys to fi
Mason exhales slow, like he's counting to ten through murder.For a second, I think we all might kill this crazy motherfucker at the same time. Rip him to pieces and not even feel bad about it.But then Alyssa raises a hand.And we freeze instantly."Is that why you locked War away?" she asks quietl
NikolaiAlyssa stands naked, a gun aimed steady at Logan's head, and the three of us stand around her like guard dogs—tense, alert, waiting to see which way this moment breaks.No one says a word. Not even him.But it's obvious now. He's not War.Hasn't been since last night.While our girl was tak
King smirks, then presses the blade just beneath Isaac's shoulder blade and slices.The sound is thick. Wet. The kind that stays with you.Isaac jolts, a raw, broken sound tearing out of him, like a scream that never makes it all the way out of his shredded lungs."Oh, fuck," I mewl. Wetness pools o
