The Devil in a trenchcoat.
A knockout blonde stormed into the room, her wolf already on edge, as she simultaneously sized Aimee up and shot Connor down with a withering look. To see someone else as pissed off as he was, had the strange effect of calming Braxtons beast, and he stopped struggling. This had to be Arial Salvatore.
Seeing that Braxton had his beast back under control, his club brothers unhanded him. Brax shot Ian an apologetic look, noticing that the club treasurer was sporting a split lip and his eyes were staring a little wonky. Ian or Ratchet, as they liked to call him, flipped Braxton the bird in response. Wild Bill sat, calmly smoking his cigar through all the commotion, and watched the drama unfold. The only thing he was missing was popcorn.
"What fuckery is this, Connor? Why are gang members polluting your office?" Arial screeched as she gestured wildly around the room; unfortunately, her trenchcoat gaped wide open in her fury, but she was so invested in her tira

His Achilles Heel Hell hath no fury
Arial was in a fine temper by the time they got home. As the car pulled into the garage and their rugrats ran out the door to greet them, Connor could almost see the steam coming out of his mate's ears. Hell hath no fury like Arial Salvatore when she felt betrayed. And right now, he was sure Satan himself was hiding in fear of her wrath.Arial managed to hold onto her viper tongue until the pack member she'd wrangled into babysitting settled the boys down to sleep and shut the door behind her as she left for the short run back to the packhouse. But when she turned, her cornflower blue eyes held violence in their murky depths, and she rounded on Connor."How long?"She snarled, pointing a claw in his direction. Connor didn't muck around; it was always better to lay all cards on the table when it came to his mate. He ran his fingers through his blonde hair, slumping down onto a chair. "They turned up at my office a couple of hours ago to make me aware of a situation we ha
His Achilles Heel Heartbreak
"I followed my heart, and it led me to you."Aimee turned, with sadness in her eyes and a horrible feeling of Deja vu. "It should have led you back home to your mate Connor, not to me; I don't belong to you anymore."His green eyes were tortured as he stood, proudly naked before her. The threat of rain earlier followed through as fat droplets fell from the sky, and Aimee wondered if the Goddess herself was crying at what was unfolding here."I love you, Aimee; I never stopped loving you. My Dad made me choose the pack because you couldn't lead by my side as an equal when you were human, but now you can. All you need to do is choose. Choose me, be with me. The way the Moon Goddess always intended it to be."Whatever Aimee was about to say was cut off as a painful cry broke free in its place. Connor caught her as she buckled. The mark on her neck glowed bright red as Aimee's body contorted in agony, "What's happening?" The Alpha yelled as Aimee how
His Achilles Heel Loyalty
Hendrick watched as his angel slept beside him. Though he was a man of few words, Hendrick knew he loved Arial. It didn't matter that she bore the Alpha's sons or even her reasons for wanting the Luna spot in the first place. Deep down inside, where no one cared enough to look, Arial was just looking for someone who loved her enough to forsake all others. What she didn't seem to realize is that he was right here, all along. What started as teaching a gorgeous girl a few tricks in the sack quickly spiraled into so much more. And last night, Hendrick's wolf chose her too. The question was, would Arial choose the love of a lowly Gamma over the power and glory of being a Luna? He could offer her a comfortable life back at her birth pack, or if she couldn't face going back there, they could apply as a family to transfer to another pack or live as feral members, keeping to themselves. He would go wherever Arial lead; as long as she was with him, he didn't care.Hendrick watched as
His Achilles Heel Unsteady
Connor felt a little unsteady as he walked home. As far as he was concerned, his car belonged to the pack anyway, and after settling things with Arial and the kids, he wasn't sure what his place in the hierarchy would be, so walking was the logical option anyway. As he rounded the corner onto his street, he noticed a truck parked in his driveway, and as Connor sped up, he saw Arial locking the front door of their home; the boys were already in the truck, and the back was filled with their belongings."Arial, what's going on?" He asked quietly as his wolf began to howl, and his heart skipped a beat. Hendrick made as if to get out of the driver's side, but Arial stayed him with her hand, and a hint of vulnerability passed across her face as she answered."I can't do this anymore, Connor. You have loved Aimee for the entirety of our mateship, and I feel like I'm just a poor substitute. I deserve better than that."Connor stared at her in utter disbelief. "You
His Achilles Heel Trainwreck
His bike ate up the miles as Braxton left the past behind him, yet the Henchman could find no peace as the distance grew longer, and a new day dawned. He pulled into a hotel, wary and tired in a way he knew no amount of sleep could fix. He missed Aimee so much. A big part of him wondered if she and Connor had left town together since the Alpha was missing too, but the idea hurt so badly Brax shut it down before he went mad. As he paid for a room, his wolf damn near begged to go for a run, so after he stowed his bag away, he set Lincoln free to roam the stark land around the hotel. A powerful pack had passed this way recently, their scent overwhelming Braxton's sensitive nose as he wandered in the desert sand, and with a start, the henchman realized the Royals must be moving through town. Not wanting to draw attention to himself, he hurried back to the safety of his room and phased back to his human skin before throwing his large frame down on the bed. It would get easier each day to
His Achilles Heel Trains passing in the night
The phone dropped from Aimee's fingers, and if Narelle wasn't there, she didn't know what she would have done. The Moonhowler pack was a hard three days ride from home, but it was where Aimee had ended up, and her old friends were only too happy to let her stay. Aimee hadn't told Damon or Narelle what happened to make her pick up sticks, and she was grateful that they didn't push. It was all so raw, and she just needed time to process-not that she would get it now."Dad's in hospital; from what Eric told me, it looks like the club was attacked while they slept. Mass fatalities, aside from Dad and six others that were away at the time, everyone else is..." Aimee's heart finally caught up to her brain, and her face paled as she lost the use of her legs, "Oh Gods, does that mean? Surely I would know? Could Brax be dead? He is the Sargent at Arms. He'd have been right in the thick of the fighting!" A low keening came from deep in her belly, and her body started shaking v
His Achilles Heel Loving you is a losing game
The doors to the waiting room burst open announcing Aimee's return, and Ratchet rose to greet her, embracing her within his lanky frame."How bad is he?""It doesn't look good Aimee, he's been asking for you," Ratchet looked so grim, Aimee was almost too afraid to hear the answer to her next question, "Who's left?" and Eric spoke up from the seat closest to the doorway. "Maddog, Rogue, Stud, and Sandman are taking care of things back at the club. Other than us, there were no survivors." Aimee felt her heart splinter, but she asked the hardest question anyway, "Where is Brax's body?"Ratchet looked at her in puzzlement, stepping back to make sure he heard correctly. "I thought you already knew? Brax turned in his cut and left the club shortly after you. No one's been able to reach him, but he was nowhere near the club when the fight went down.""Is there an Aimee Carter in here?" An elderly doctor poked his head in, and Aimee nodded, "Your father wishes to
His Achilles Heel Enemies
Luther had to commend Aimee, for a human who chose to transition into a shifter for love, the wolf that answered her call was a strong one. After subtly testing her throughout their conversation, Luther surmised that Vixen was of high Beta rank, which was pretty unheard of in a changeling. After learning that Connor had left, Aimee hadn't missed a beat. With conciseness that impressed the older Alpha, she had explained all that transpired in the past twenty-four hours. Not unlike Luther, Aimee had lost all of her club hierarchy, including her father, in one fell swoop. By the time she was silent, the sky was streaked with pink, and dusk approached."Given that this was initially a pack issue, and my club got caught in the crossfire, I wanted to know how many warriors you'll assign to me tonight when we retaliate?" She asked him directly. Luther liked to think he was a fair man, but the idea of trusting his pack members to a green wolf didn't sit well with him, particularly wh
