KianA few minutes passed by before the end of the round bell started to ring in my ears. That was my cue to drag my anxious ass out of the locker room and greet my opponent. I did so with a confident swagger, putting on a show for all the cheering fans. The crowd grew wild as my robe dropped to the floor, and I began the routine warm-up at the foot of the Cage. Mad Dog eyed me from the other side like a rabid animal, hellbent on coming out of here the victor. I spotted the Reaper’s goons from across the room; the acrid green lighting made them all look like a bunch of frogs standing next to a mountain of muscle. The gator was huge, even from a distance. He gave me a nod, a signal from him to me that he was rooting for my corner. That was reassuring. I for one didn’t think I stood a chance until this morning. It felt as if the ghosts of my past were all watching over me, ready to push me back through the veil if I fell through to the other side. I could hear my momma yelling to me tha

Gia - Current age: 20.“Open up!” My landlord, an overweight middle-aged slob called Jimmy, hammered on the door. “Your rent is overdue. I warned you what would happen if you were late again.”My roommates cringed as I stood on my tiptoes to peep through the spyhole, seeing Jimmy's distorted face through the beveled glass. His stomach blocked the view of the hallway, and the peephole magnified all the stains on his vest.Ew, the guy was one fugly sleazeball.We were just about to leave for work when Jimmy dropped by for a visit. Each time we defaulted, he would increase the next month's rent. If we couldn't pay up, he offered a nasty alternative as a “wipe the slate clean.” He liked to pass jokes about my size, saying I was the ideal height to suck his cock at eye-level. I may be a feisty pint-sized brunette, standing at five feet tall in my bare stockings, but I wasn't desperate. Like fuck was I going to touch his sweaty ass cock to keep a roof over my head. Some guys think because w

Gia“Boss told me to tell you his name is Harrison, and he's waiting in the VIP lounge,” Freya informed me.“Ugh! With a name like that, he's definitely a douche," I grumbled, leaving the room with a confident swagger.The nebulous lighting illuminated the podiums with a soft hazy glow, and dry ice curled through the air in gentle wisps. The bar stretched along the back of the club with dark seating areas along the perimeter walls. The VIP room was situated right next to the boss's office. The dividing wall served as a two-way mirror, giving the voyeuristic bastard a ring-side show. He never laid a hand on us, but he sure loved to watch.This may have been a gentleman's club, but there was nothing luxurious about it. They placed mirrors around so that clients could watch without seeming pervy, and the security guys could monitor what was going down. To say the place was unsanitary was an understatement. The public bathroom was cleaner. We had our own hygiene ritual, but we had to make

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
