Damon's wolf Rage ran by Karistus, the wind bringing with it the scent of decay as Knox flanked her other side. They were still a long way from the Armageddon border. ' Rage, I need to make a quick stop at the nearest service station,' Lisa sent through the mind link as Karistus continued to lope forward, and both male wolves nodded their assent as they continued to run. They were almost into a little rural town when Karistus shifted, and after putting on the clothes she carried in a nap sack, she told the men to shift as well.
They came out from behind the trees after it was done, fully dressed, and Damon could see that although it was Lisa's human form in front of him, it was Karistus's eyes staring back. "I hate it when you do that, Karistus," The Alpha mumbled, but the wolf shrugged. It was easier for her to protect this vessel if she commanded it, so Karistus took control when she needed to. She would make no apology for that. Knox sat down by one of the trees, slightly
"Wow," Isabella was lost for words as Lenora worked her magic with a makeup kit. After months of having to hide her scent while Aimee stabilized the Aces and Eights, it was finally doing well enough for the Club's president to focus a little more on herself, and Aimee Carter-Hayes wanted her man. Her wild curls were tamed and straightened, cascading like an inky waterfall down to her waist. Deep blue eyes held mysteries highlighted by dark and dramatic makeup, and Aimee's high cheekbones stood out against her olive skin, softened by natural bronzer. "You look like a dark goddess," Bella breathed softly as she stood beside her friend. True to her word, the Luna had come back to visit when she had time, and over the past months, they became good friends, which is how she got an introduction to the shadow lady of the woods, Lenora Emmett, last of the full-blooded Emmett Vampyre royal lineage. Tonight Aimee would give permission to lift the spell cloaking her scent as she returned to he
"Braxton."Aimee held her breath as she saw her mate's familiar form sticking out from under a car. The moment his legs stiffened, she knew that he had caught her scent. Rolling out from under the vehicle, the henchman leaped to his feet with the grace of a panther, and their gazes clashed.Aimee pushed herself off the wall and began walking towards him. Her eyes were teary as Vixen yelped excitedly in her head, and Aimee's voice trembled when she spoke, "It's you, Brax, it's always been you. I'm sorry it took me this long to tell you."Braxton stood there, in the silence of his workshop, the music mysteriously stalling, and justlookedat the woman who carried his heart. Time stood still in those moments.Then, despite Aimee's dress clinging like a second skin, she found herself in Brax's arms, with her outfit riding high as she shamelessly wrapped her legs around his waist. For a minute, they just breathed together, trembling with the
The sweet rumble of Harley engines purred along the road as The President and her Sargent at Arms took a ride around their backyard. Citizens waved as Braxton and Aimee drove past, and several pups ran out onto the street, keeping an easy pace with the bikers. Aimee had worked hard to set the minds of fellow pack members at ease, and she was proud to see the likes of Harris and Meryl wave enthusiastically back as they turned down the road to the clubhouse.Brax slowed down, letting Aimee glide into the car park first, following her as she parked in her reserved spot right at the front of The Wild West's doors. She signaled to her right, and he was shocked to see the Sargent at Arms park next to the VP's with his name engraved on a silver plate. Brax pulled in almost reverently, noting that there were at least fifty other bikes parked on the club side as he killed the engine and took off his helmet.His mate looked sassy as she pulled off her own helmet, swinging her lo
Isabella showed Aimee through the house with pride and a strange sense of excitement that confused her a little. Sweet music filled the house with love and light as the ladies moved from room to room, and the Luna explained that it was coming from the Academy, although Aimee couldn't remember riding past a school."Speaking of Ravenclaw," Bella murmured, "I had the Baku make up a flyer for a function I'm holding. It's over on the counter-would you mind taking a look at it for me? It helps to get different opinions." Vixen was quivering with barely repressed excitement, and it made Aimee feel a little off-kilter, but she did as Bella asked, wondering why two of her closest friends were acting so strangely.As Aimee touched the paper, gold dust flew up into the air, and Isabella called out, "Don't be afraid, it's supposed to do this!"Well, okay then.Slowly words started to appear before her, and as Aimee read them, her eyes filled with tears, and s
Karistus could smell the decay as soon as she crossed Armageddon's boundaries. Behind her, Rage and Karma growled lowly as they were hit with the same stench, and it never got any easier for either of them. Wolves who had strayed too far from the pure path to be saved emitted the same odor-the worse the soul, the higher the smell, and Luther Salvatore was like a homing beacon to the judge and her jury.They found him out running. Karistus and her team looked like a shimmer in the air to other pack members- but to the accused, they appeared in full form. The old Alpha wolf saw them as he passed through the canyon, and as they thought it might, the chase began. He was a quick and agile adversary, but for the first time in his life, Luther couldn't outrun his judgment. Out of respect to their fellow enforcer, the trio made the kill swiftly, so Connor's father wouldn't suffer. A heartbreaking howl pierced the silence as Soraya felt her mate's passing and Luther left this ea

Adam O'Connor sat in the back row of his Gamblers anonymous meeting, silently listening to the others recite the twelve steps to recovery. He could have recited them backward with his eyes closed. That's how many times he'd relapsed. But this time was different. Now Adam was being held to account by the prez and the henchman-two club members he couldn't afford to get on the wrong side of.The brunette beside him stifled a yawn, and he idly wondered if she had a gag reflex, it had been a while. Now that Aimee had made the brothel a legit business, members couldn't get any more freebies, and Adam was damned if he'd waste his time wining and dining a one-night stand, and that's all the stud was after. At twenty-three, he was way too young to tie himself to one old lady.On his other side sat Carl. Carl was still going through withdrawal. Adam didn't much like him, which made things awkward since he was Carls sponsor. The balding, overweight Accountant traveled every week
It was dark by the time Jenny pulled into her father's garage. The beautiful purr of the iron horse under her made the journey go by quickly, but as she looked at her watch, she wasn't surprised to see it was after nine pm. Dad would already closed for the evening, but Jaxon or Kyle might still be tinkering on something inside if she was lucky. She got off the bike and impatiently knocked on the window. Sure enough, a rattle of chains signaled someone was inside, and as the roller door rolled up, her younger brother Kyle was there, wrench in one hand, dirty rag in the other as he whistled at her latest ride. "Do I even wanna ask how you came by that, Jen?""Probably not," Jenny drawled as she tossed him the keys, "Take it for a spin, see if it needs anything done before we onsell-oh-and stay away from Howling for a while. The old owner is in some gang there."The Vasquez family were the law around Honey Glade- her older brother Carlos was the sheriff, and her sis
