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

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

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

If he was talking to a customer, the chances were he would never have heard the breaking news on the radio. But Braxton was alone in his garage working on his motorcycle when it came through loud and clear."The Aces and Eights motorcycle club appeared to have been attacked while sleeping at the clubrooms early this morning. Witnesses say that growling could be heard within the bar, but it wasn't considered unusual given the club's nature. One man was taken to Memorial hospital, and we understand that he later died from his injuries. There were no other known survivors. We can now reveal the deceased man was the club president William 'Wild Bill" Carter, aged 57. He is survived by one daughter that we have been unable to interview. Still, reports tell us she was last seen arriving at local businessman Connor Salvatore's home shortly after leaving the hospital."There was a loud roaring coming from somewhere, but Braxton couldn't identify where, while his wolf
His Achilles Heel Collision course
The beat-up old ford clattered its way along the dirt road ringing its guts out as the driver swerved to miss potholes while maintaining a reasonable speed. Aimee lay down in the back seat, thrashing like a possessed banshee one second and the next lying so still Eric had to check to make sure she was still breathing. As one hour bled into the next, the smiling assassin wondered if they would make it to Moon howler in time to save Aimee. She was a putrid shade of grey, and the last mile had been spent with Aimee's head hanging out the window, showering the landscape with vomit torpedoes that had Eric seeing her in a whole new light. The landscape changed as he finally entered the valley, forest sprung up, and the fortress that was Moonhowler came into view, 'Thank Christ for that.' The smiling assassin thought as wolves appeared, running alongside the vehicle. He was escorted to the front of a building where a young woman waited. Beside her was the last face Eric expected to see as

"It was a pseudo reaction to something his mate either ingested or was poisoned with; Baku is traveling through Aimee's dreams now to find the source."Braxton slowly opened his eyes to find Shadow talking to a young woman wearing a high priestess's robes. Next to her was a creature resembling a chimera, only he appeared to be made up of different animals as well, almost like someone took the animal kingdom's leftovers and decided to make a whole new species with it. His eyes resembled a rhino's, and they were staring directly at him. However, it looked as though the Baku was operating separately from his physical body, as it twitched now and then.Braxton remembered a story his mother used to tell him about the Baku. They were mythical creatures who entered your sleep and ate your bad dreams. She always told him that if he woke up during the night from a nightmare, he was to chant "Baku-san come eat my dream" three times, and a Baku would appear to gobble up his
His Achilles Heel Let my guard down
Connor felt his wolf swell in size as he struggled to break free, but for once, he was unable to bend Connor to his will, and with a last snarl of defiance, he retreated. The truth was, when Eric had pulled up to the packhouse and Narelle told him what was going on, he was in the middle of the meeting with the other packs about Karistas and her calling. The whole thing had seemed crazy to him, but because Damon believed her, he was trying to keep an open mind. As soon as he found out Aimee was here, he'd raced outside, unable to believe his luck. Lifting her still form out of that car almost undid him, though. She was small and barely breathing. His wolf wouldn't even consider leaving her side. Now that Aimee had Vixen, Legion, his own wolf, felt even more bonded to her. But not in a romantic way. Strangely, after their shared moment in the rain, those feelings of attraction had begun to dim and be replaced with the kind of love Connor associated with the family. Hearing just now th

He was shirtless, he was hot, and he was horny. What a goddamn sorry state of being in, Braxton thought as he lay on his bed in the stifling heat with the world's hardest boner. Mated wolves aren't meant to be away from each other for so long, and his wolf was such a dick, purposely sending image after image through his mind of the times he and Aimee had been intimate. Over seven years, there had been a lot of those times, especially since they hadn't had pups yet.Now, the annual Howling was near, and it was Shadow and Bella's turn to hold it this year, so unmated wolves were milling around, sending out pheromones and hoping to find their mates before the run with the Royals. Braxton just wanted Aimee. Never had he been more aware of the distance separating them than right now.Taking a chance, he picked up his phone and dialed her number. To his surprise, Aimee answered instantly."Hello? Is that you, Brax?"'Speak you, idiot!' Ricochet yelped,
His Achilles Heel The Baron Brothers
1.Muscles bunched and released. Sweat dripped down torsos, and the sun threatened to burn skin as Monroe and Micah carried the plow, driving it through the dirt to aerate the soil. The Alpha hadn't lied to Con, the soil was beautiful, and although he had just turned sixteen, Monroe was no stranger to hard work. In truth, the earth was like home to him in an organic way. Seeing the corn popping up in the next field over was reward enough, and after they finished plowing the field here, the potatoes could be watered in. Then it would be on to the third paddock, which he'd already sectioned off into six smaller areas for Tomatoes, Lettuce, silverbeet, broccoli, sweet potato, and carrots. Micah wasn't quite so enthusiastic but knew that the plowing was the hardest part and offered to help Monroe anyway. A frisson of awareness prickled Monroe's skin as he worked, and without looking at the fence line, he knew she was there, watching him. Casey Parker was one of the more popular g
