Reunion

The Wild West was just as Aimee remembered it. Set on the beautiful shores of Priest Lake, the single style bungalow was nestled snugly against a backdrop of Douglas Firs. Many a childhood Summer had been spent with Tatiana at The Tamrak eating huckleberry rolls while their Dad went trout fishing on the lake, and for a moment, her toast felt tight with emotion. Now the cabin was hers. As they turned off their motorcycles and removed their helmets, the front door swung open, and five shirtless males, clad only in board shorts, came scuttling down the pathway.Max reached them first, plucking Aimee right off her bike while Scott and Reggie tackled Eric. Fists were swung half-heartedly as the boys carried them down to the lake and threw them into the water. It was an Aces and Eights tradition for the last ones to arrive back to the club. When they emerged laughing, the seven surviving members hugged it out and went inside for a drink.Aimee took the first shower, gingerly

Liam

The pack was in fairly good order financially, and Liam told Luther as much at their afternoon meeting. Being in an environment where they were respected and could go about the day in safety had done wonders for all the Baron brothers. Conan was just down the hallway, in an office adjacent to the Alpha's, and he knew his older brother was in his element. Con, was always born to be a leader. Even now, he could hear Con strategizing with the pack Delta, bouncing ideas off each other so fast there was an electric feel to the air near his office. Liam's area of expertise was in finance. Looking at a budget the size of a major pack like Armageddon was like giving a kid the keys to his favorite candy store, and the bear shifter had already made several suggestions on streamlining that Luther seemed really impressed with. That wasn't the only reason Liam enjoyed coming to work, though, if he were honest. A major reason happened to knock on the door at that moment and waltz on in. Willow ga

Heading home

Five months laterAimee languidly stretched as the sun's morning rays kissed her skin. A smile of happiness graced her features, and she sat up in bed and looked at the calendar. 'Yeah, girl, today's the day!' Vixen yipped happily in her head. It had taken some time, but Aimee and her original members had ridden hard over many States, recruiting new blood for the Aces and Eights. Now they could finally go home.After staunch negotiations with the Alpha and Luna of Howling Warriors, and Shadow's word that Braxton wouldn't be told of her arrival, Aimee signed the contract through an email, and the deal was finalized late last night. The Aces and Eights were now the proud owners of Howling's only pub and the clubrooms directly behind it. It was still the original seven staying at Wild West, and they'd had to rent out some of the holiday cabins to house the rest of the club, but they'd made it, and, touching the pendant adorning her neck, Aimee knew her Da

The longest day.

Fifty bikes rumbled through Howling late in the afternoon as The Aces and Eights arrived at their new home. Led by their President and behind her the VP and Road captain, the MC was an intimidating sight, and many people stopped and stared. Their patch was displayed proudly on the side of each bike. As the residents spotted the familiar code of Arms for the Howling warriors side by side with the Aces and Eights bound together by buffalo horns, the atmosphere immediately relaxed. Children were allowed to continue playing in their yards, and some people actually waved as the riders turned onto the main road in town. Moose drove the gear wagon at the bikes' back, laden to the hilt with renovating supplies and club gear ready to make the clubroom theirs completely. They pulled into the parking lot to see a black range rover already there, and as Aimee shut off her bike and removed her helmet, the driver's door opened.A lean but powerfully built male got out and race

Karistus's judgment

Connor called Damon immediately and told him about Luther, "He's my Dad man, I don't think I can do it." There was a muffled conversation in the background, and then he was back on the line. "Yeah, we understand that it's a tough one, so Lisa and I will head down. I'll bring Knox with me, just in case."Connor knew what that meant, sometimes the fallen didn't go down easily, and it required more than one enforcer to claim them. If Damon was bringing Lisa, that could only mean her wolf, Karistus, was expecting trouble. After he hung up, Connor wondered how he would explain things to his mother or the pack, for that matter. A brisk knock at the door stalled his thoughts as he wondered who would be calling in now.Sighing deeply, the young Alpha got up and went to answer it, but as he drew closer, the judge's gavel began burning, and his gut dropped as Connor realized who was on the other side. There was no sense prolonging things. Luther did have a key, after all.

Damon Cortez

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

In walks a Queen

"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

I'm right here waiting.

"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 just looked at 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

Sweet ride

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

Ride or die forever

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
