AlexaMy what now? A warm hand covers mine as old lady Ravens wait patiently for my mind to reconnect with my body. Mouth hanging open I sit frozen staring unseeingly ahead as I try to wrap my mind around this new information. "How-why did how do how do you know?" i stutter while slipping my hand out from beneath hers. Hurt flashes across her face before she pushes it away. Not wanting to be touched or comforted right now I get to my feet and start pacing. "It's a long story," she sighs deeply shaking her head. "I've got time." I snap back frustrated with everything. The answers are so close and if she deffects or straight up refuses to tell me, then screw her age il punch the old woman. My grandmother. "Of course," she shifts in her seat getting more comfortable as she settles in to tell me everything. "Amerie didn't live here, as a child she did but when she got older, we sent her to my brother who lived closer to better schools. When she turned eighteen, she came back here. She

Ten minutes ago, we got a call from the guys watching one of the roads out of kings cove saying a blonde on a motorcycle got through and shot at them. "Sorry, boss" Vincent lowers his head, shoulders slumping forward "Sorry? You're fucking sorry? Oh, well then, that's alright." Sarcasm drips from Ry's words making the men flinch. "I don't want your fucking sorrys, I want her back here!" "Ry," Jem says carefully knowing full well he's not in the man's good graces at the moment, "we know where she's headed.

Alexa "Give me a smile, gorgeous, and I'll let you in. The bouncer to the lion's roar grins proudly at me. His eyes travel up and down my body, lingering on my chest. Widening my stance and bending my knees lightly i glare up at the large man. "How about! Just let myself in?" crack. The heel of my palm connects with the underside of his nose: continue the movement up into his face, forcing him to bend backwards and expose his throat to me. The gun is cool and heavy in my hand as I press the barrel beneath his chin. "Still want that smile?" I raise my brows at the bouncer as he glowers at me. My eyes drop to the door expectantly and with a huff pif initation he fumbles for the handle. I'm not sure his ego will survive being overpowered by a woman half his size. Honestly, men are so stupid. Will they never learn not to underestimate women? One of these days it will be their downfall. Seems that day has come early for the Pride's bouncer. "Hurry up, I haven't got all day." I tut at hi
The Stripper Woman Prologue
Most of the time, most days, I don't feel anything. Not today. Today, fear has a choke hold on me. It makes my stomach churn with nausea. Did I kill him? I hope I did. Because if I didn't.... If Gregorio isn't dead, I will be. Tucking my dark hair into the hoodie and pulling the hood up, I weaved through the people on the street. Pushing against the sea of people I move further from the apartment. I need to get out of town, now. Today. I tossed my phone in a trash can around yhe corner, knowing they'll track me through it, before heading to the bus station. Keeping my head down and footsteps hurried I rack my brain over where to go. All I know is that I need to leave Angelfall. The fifty bucks I snatched on my way out of the apartment along with my father's diary, the only thing I have of him, burns a hole in my pocket. The station gets closer by the second and my panic rised. I need to figure shit out fast. Come on, Alex think. I urged myself to find a solution. You could a
The Stripper Woman Chapter One
Shit. I am in such deep shit.The silence of the bus ride gives my mind free rein to dive head first into my past and torture me with it. I swore I'd never go back knowing they'd be there if I did. Sometimes I used yo wonder if they would ever stoo and miss me. Wonder where I am and how I'm doing. If they still care. Then, that's probably wishful thinking. They wouldn't have betrayed me if they actually ever did care about me. If all can't have been a lie. We became friends before I found the secrets hidden in the diary I was left with when I was dumped on the orphanage's front steps. It had my father's name in the margins or I assumed it was my fathers. Markus Johnsen.So, that's the last name I was given. Not that it means anything to me. It's just a name that belonged to someone who didn't want me. Therefore, the abandonment issues. Told you.Those issues just got worse after the only friends I've ever had abandoned me too. I still remember the day Mr. Rux came to the orphanage wi

The mirrors have built in lights rolling garment racks are bursting with outfits and fill the room. I follow Ken inside weaving between the racks."Lexie, this is Maddy, She'll get you ready for tonight and make sure music and everything's ready."

Shade pov"Will you shut up if we come?" Hunter snaps at Dylan who keeps prattling on about a "guys night." The man's as loyal as they get and a hell of a sharpshooter but he talks non-stop. He's been trying to get us on to come with him to the Black peony for years."Sure dude." Dylan answers distracted by something on his phone. "Tonight's the perfect night." He exclaimed face lighting up. "They just posted that a new dancer's on the stage tonight. Let's go check her out."

Shade povThe waitress returns turning all our heads. "She'll be expensive. A lot of people have requested private dancers before you."Ryder sucks his cheeks in biting on the inside of his mouth. "We'll pay whatever you want in order to move to the stop of that list."The waitress nods quickly. "Yes, sir. I'll come fetch you when she's ready." She curtsies before hurrying off strawberry coloured Ponyta swishing as she goes. It doesn't take long before the lights on the main stage darken and Lexie slips off the stage. Men boo and call out for her to come back while another dancer takes the stage.Ten minutes later, the swishing ponytail came back and leads us to a private room off the left. The four of us follow her walking stiffly. We look as if we're heading to our execution. Faces grim and postures rigid. We're all scared. Terrified that it won't be her. Equally terrified that it will be. Longing for answers to our questions and afraid of the answers.The room is dim. There's a sm
