MADDOXI followed Suzie as she led me through the club. There was plenty of seating around the various stages. Dancers were working the poles with a grace that not every dancer could accomplish. They had the audience completely entranced, which would earn them and the club great cash.There was also a dance floor where singles, couples, and groups were enjoying the music and free atmosphere. No fucking wonder that this place was so fucking successful. Honestly, I never would have guessed that the doors to this club had only been open for six months because success poured out of every damn corner of this place. Suzie and Beauty should be super fucking proud of what they have accomplished here.“Who do we have here?” a chick asked as she leaned against the wall.There was a blatant perusal of me, to which she found satisfactory if the lustful look that she flashed me was any indication. However, that meant nothing to me because she was not Beauty. Before Beauty came along, I would have p

KALENThis night had turned out even better than I had hoped for when I decided to bring him here to this club.Maddox was surprised as hell when he realized that I owned Luxe. Sure, I had fibbed my age when it came to getting licensed and all, but he had done the same thing to get certified for piercings. However, all of the hard work that went into getting this place up and running was genuine. This club would be nowhere near as successful if Suzie was not my right-hand woman.My goal with this entire venture was to provide a safe place for all of these amazing people to work, a place where they would find security. My parents had been a little bit surprised when I approached them with my goal, but they were proud of me, nonetheless. They helped me set everything up and even helped me to secure an apartment building that was made available only to Luxe employees.It took no time for this club to become popular. There was an air of sophistication here that was not found in all clubs.

MADDOXWe had been briefed by Nightshade that there were only two days before the showdown between Julio, the hunters, and us all. Julio’s goal was to enslave Angel. The hunter's goal was to bring Nightshade down. Suffice to say that neither would be happening. Jaxon had come to the pack and helped me refine some of my abilities. He would be fighting without his abilities because he wanted me to practice for when our own battle came. I was able to hit moving targets with lightning, but I was also able to tone down the voltage so that it would not kill on impact. Jaxon could actually absorb lightning, so he was the perfect subject to test it on without risking anyone.I had never had someone who felt like a brother before since Calvin never kept good company, and I was limited to it, but I already felt close to Jaxon. He was super fucking easy to get along with and had a wicked sense of humor. Not to mention that we were both walking fucking weirdos, so at least we were not alone in t

MADDOXThat shadow trick was completely unexpected but equally welcome. I was not certain how it differentiated between the people, but it seemed to have somehow figured out who was a threat and who was not. At least that was what Beauty told me it did.All of us worked on cuffing those who needed to be cuffed. We would not be taking any chances at fucking all. Once they were restrained, the shadows ended up disappearing.The hunters were stripped of all weapons. The men were also stripped down to their pants. The females were all wearing tank tops underneath their uniforms, so they were allowed to keep the pants and tank top.Specialized handcuffs went on the shifters that would suppress their wolves, blocking all links as well, and essentially rendering them human. It was something that they certainly did not fucking appreciate but amused us all.The witches on our side were able to point out the ones who were enemy witches. Those ones got outfitted with special inhibitor cuffs, whic

MADDOXFighting to take down the fuckers who thrived within this chaos gave me a sense of peace. It felt like I was being redeemed and cleansed of the shit I had done in the past. I would spend the rest of my life doing everything that I could for that redemption.Yes, I was following Calvin’s orders, but I still did it. He was truly a sadistic fucker who got off on hurting others. He started grooming me after Mom ‘died’ and went to some serious lengths just to make me compliant to his demands. I had tried to fight it all in the beginning, but I was weak and wanted to avoid my body being destroyed time and again.I had always envied the innocence of pups and the way that they would look at the world that was filled with adventure. The ones who saw the good in others. I had never gotten close to any because I was afraid of tainting that innocence and ripping it away from them.It was amazing to witness how accepting they were of me even though I was a stranger. I wanted to do everything
