Kian - Current age: 26."You don't say much, do you?" Claw murmured.I couldn't stomach the guy, but Jax thought it would be a good idea to let him tag along considering he'd set up the deal. Ever since Throttle retired as the President, Jaxton had been in charge. He kept himself busy at Archer's motorcycle repair shop, their family business. Jenna managed the biker café next door with a few of the old ladies. The same familiar faces still put in a show at the club from time to time, and like Claw, there were a few fresh faces that had yet to prove their worth.We were sitting in my beloved Capri in the middle of a rainstorm like sardines in a tin can, waiting for a couple of wolf shifters to show up and purchase some firearms. Usually, we wouldn't do business with dogs, but Claw seemed to think these guys could be trusted. The windshield was fogging up on the inside, so I wound down the window a little to let in some air. Raindrops bounced off the ground like pebbles. I stared dead a

Kian"Did you get the other bullet out? Here, use this," he offered, producing a pocketknife.I tried digging it out, but it refused to budge. Blood was spewing from the hole now that I'd made it worse. My fingertips burned as they came into contact with the silver. I grunted through it, enjoying the pain like the sadistic bastard that I'd become."Got it," I announced, holding it up to see for myself.It was strange how nothing seemed to hurt me anymore. The pain was as addictive as crack was to an addict. I got some freaky sort of kick out of it. Getting shot felt like a bee sting, and silver bullets were supposed to burn like a bitch, which was weird because it wasn't all that bad. It just smarted enough to tingle. I tossed the bullet onto the ground and watched it bounce across the asphalt. Maybe my nerves were fucked from all the fighting, or maybe I was just plain wrong."You're meant to have my back," I growled at Claw, turning from him to mutter, "Useless son of a bitch." I gr

Kian"That's gorgeous," she mentioned, reaching out to touch it.My fingers curled around it before she did. "Nosey, ain't you?"Candy shrugged. The notes crunched in her fist as she flounced away. Women regularly brought the ring into the conversation; they were like magpies after shiny objects, constantly wanting to know who I was going to give it to, where it came from, and how much it was worth.It was all about the money. That was all anyone ever cared about."I heard those boys are bringing women here to mate with. Humans from another state," Claw offered this new piece of information, making the brothers all sit up and listen."You seem to know an awful lot about their business. You better tell me everything," Jaxton questioned, staring him down with an air of distrust.Claw glanced around at all the stern faces gawking back at him, waiting for him to come back with a valid answer.How did he know so much?He licked his lips nervously. "Those guys, who I didn't realize were Hel

Gia Jimmy was still awake when we arrived home just after three a.m., sticking his head around his apartment door like a fucking jack-in-the-box."Do you have the rent?" he demanded, folding his arms across his plump belly.We already pooled the money together during the cab ride home."There you go, now we're square," Faith commented in a way that suggested “it was a pleasure doing business with you, now off you fuck.”Jimmy made us remain there as he counted out the cash, licking his finger as he thumbed through the notes. The girls and I smirked, knowing where they'd been just a few hours prior. He checked to see if he had miscalculated, looking disappointed that it was all there. The dirty bastard was wishing that we'd be a few dollars short like last month."Next month's rent better be on time," he cautioned, sounding pissed off to hell. "Oh, and keep the commotion to a minimum, or I may have to fine you for disturbing the peace.""Whatever," Rain muttered with a roll of her eye

GiaI blanched at that comment and slumped helplessly over his shoulder. These guys were over six feet tall and made from a mountain of muscles. They would murder little old me with a flick of their fingers. The driver of the van got out to help, and my captor dropped me down and restrained me from behind. He held me so hard I thought I felt a rib crack."Please, I won't tell anybody what I saw," I whimpered.He pushed his nose against the crook of my neck and inhaled deeply. "You have his essence all over you," he murmured. "Hunter scum.""What? I don't know what you're talking about," I sobbed."His seed. You reek of it," he rasped, sounding disgusted by it.Could they still pick up a guy's scent even after I washed it off? What the fucking fuck?I was in way over my head, and I knew it."He was in the club where I work. I don't know him. I was just paid to dance for him," I made feeble excuses, clutching at straws. "I promise . . . it's the truth.""So you're just a half-fry human

Gia"Forest Hills?" I replied, sounding a little confused. "I thought this was Whitehaven?"The guy jerked his head backward with a quizzical scowl. "How the fuck do you know about this place?""But you just said that this was Forest Hills. Make up your damn mind," I spat back in retaliation."Claw, quit fooling around and grab her before she takes off," the guy who kidnapped me yelled, his tone holding a warning growl."This is Whitehaven," Claw answered my question. "Forest Hills is the town we're in. What I can't figure out is how you know about it.""Like fuck I'm gonna tell you," I replied, readying myself to run.I had never tried to run with my hands tied behind my back before. It would be just my luck to fall face-first into a steaming pile of cow shit.Claw second-guessed my next move and shook his head. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."The guys all chuffed with laughter as if this was their daily entertainment. The others dragged the women into the warehouse like they wer

Kian“I hate to break it to you, guys, but we've got a traitor in the club,” Alpha Jax spoke in his gravel-rough voice, his piercing blue eyes ablaze with fury.“One of our own has been pulling all kinds of shady shit, and the elders are all over it,” he growled, scrubbing a hand over his face. “Drugs . . .” He flicked his gaze to me, knowing how much I despised that filth. “Stealing firearms from the docks.” Jax huffed an exhausted sigh.“But those are the Reaper's guns. Who the hell would be dumb enough to steal from him?” Blade spoke out, saying what we were all thinking.Jax nodded in agreement. “Exactly. Who would be dumb enough to pull that shit?”We all exchanged suspicious glances, but no one came out and said what they were thinking. There was only one person I had in mind, and he was right at the top of my shit list.“The problem we have is that our name is being dragged through the mud. We're being blamed for this. Someone wants us gone, and they've recruited one of our own

KianAce and Blade were already riding out through the front gates. The thundering music of bike engines roared like tigers as they raced along the street. Our clubhouse was in the shittiest part of our neighborhood. All residents knew to run and hide as soon as they heard us coming.A couple of prospects were standing guard over the entrance. They gave a curt nod toward me as I rode past, showing me that they recognized their superior. Just as well. I was only planning on dealing out one death sentence tonight, and that was Claw's.We cruised down to the abandoned warehouse that Claw had supposedly claimed as his den. His ride wasn't anywhere to be seen, but there were telltale signs that folks had been there recently. Deep tire tracks scored through the dusty earth at the front of the building and deeper ones tore up the dirt track that weaved through the fields. No one came in that way unless they were smuggling something into the state. I had a bad feeling about this.“Where the h
