TraitorCarter “Hello, Orpheus. I’m surprised you are alive, little traitor. If Ryder or Storm were Griffen, you’d be dead. Traitors end up disintegrating in a barrel until they become traitor soup. Isn’t that right, Book?” Ajax asks after we load the bed of the truck and climb in. He is sitting behind me with a blade pressed against my cerebral vertebrae. Booker is in the backseat beside Ajax while Jensen starts the truck. I look up into the rearview mirror to see a curved knife against Ajax's throat with blood trickling down it. “I warned you before. Don’t call me Book,” he snarls at Ajax. I gulp. Sweat is sliding down my face. I’m about to die. I know it. Callum almost killed me and would have if it weren’t for Sawyer and Natalie the day Razor Grothman had me service, Julia Snipe. She could have raped Ransom that day, but there was no way I was going to let her do that. I was bad enough that Razor had scooped his eye out.Ransom was still my twin si

Sawyer“Good morning, Seraph.” My father says, kissing me on the forehead like I was a small girl again. I missed my father while he was serving time in prison for gun running. It was short-term because he has a rich, influential family member who made sure the time spent being caught was a brief stay.               “Morning, Daddy. You should have told me you were getting out the other day. I would have picked up or sent Carmen.”               “I know, cherub, but I had something to do when I got out.”               “Something like the pedophile dirty ex-cop. I got him fired Daddy to where he wouldn’t be able to work again,” I let out a frustrated sigh sitting at the table ac

 RiggsThere are four other men in my Viper’s life vying for her affection, but they aren’t as important as her father and her two children. Her children are precious and a lot like their mother. It makes me long for the family I lost.My oldest son would have been fifteen, like the three teenage boys present. Two of them playing while one watching with trepidation. Ash wants to join in the fun, but I don’t think knows how to invite himself. This kid needs a new family who will support him. I wanted to be that person from the moment I stepped in to see what was being done to him. I’m drawn to the kid, and it’s not that I have white knight syndrome. I can’t save Ash, but I can help him. I give him a safe space when he isn’t at school.“Let’s seek off so we can make these guys wish they were to give that just fucked glow,” I whisper in the ear. I have her backside pulled flus

Riggs“Welcome to the family, Mamba King.” I’m having a difficult time wrapping my head around those words—a Death King. I didn’t have to worry about finding work before and it looks like that will continue. To top it off, I was just claimed as a Seraphim Serpent. Family. Another family outside of the brotherhood provided by the Death Angels.I’ve never once considered myself a lucky man. Cursed is more like it. At the same time, I was being fired from my job, my family was killed. I was late getting home because my truck had a blowout that took out both tires on one side. I had to creep to the nearest tire place.When I finally arrived home after draining half our savings, the police were there wheeling out my family in body bags. The entire side of the house was riddled with bullet holes. Gang violence. It was an initiation by the Ravagers. They picked my neighborhood and began shooting up

CarterHere I am, allowing Dillian to paint my nails. He at least painted them a green so dark they almost look black. Green is my color according to him, not that I’m going to argue because it is my favorite color. It goes with the sea foam green color of my hair. Sawyer didn’t want me in the middle of the brawl happening on the floor mats of the apartment building’s gym. Come to find out Sawyer owns the entire building and is leased out to members of both the Seraphim Serpents and the Death Angels. The reason she doesn’t want me fighting has to do with my broken ribs, courtesy of Ajax. I’m okay with that as I watch them from the sidelines.Riggs didn’t have the training we did, but so far, he has held his own against Storm. Storm is our leader not only because of his leadership skills, but he is the best fighter. This new guy’s skills might not be as refined as us from training under the Death Kings for over fifteen years, but he is a talented brawler. The more I’m around him, the m
