“Good riddance,” Shadow muttered.

Everyone emerged holding suitcases or large duffel bags and backpacks. Good thing the cager was a cargo van and would fit us all.

Three Months Later

“Get up, we’re going to be late!”

I groaned at the intrusion to my sleep, but when I realized why, my eyes popped open. I was getting patched today! I was excited to go get the Nighthawks’ official tattoo soon, as well. It was going on my chest.

My watch told me it was six p.m. I looked up at my beautiful, amazing fiancée smiling at me, that dimple popping out that I just wanted to lick, her glorious blue eyes staring down at me. Her golden hair curtained her perfect face, and my gaze traveled down to her lips. “Maybe we should pre-game. With sex,” I murmured, grabbing her and dragging her onto my body.

Our apartment was small, but it was perfect. I moved out of the prospects’ quarters and got us a tiny studio flat in the Quarter, walking distance from the Nighthawks’ clubhouse where I kept my bike parked.

Ava got a job at an all-night gym, checking people in and cleaning equipment to keep herself busy while I “worked” at night with the Nighthawks. The rest of Orvis’s clan had pledged as prospects and were currently either bartending, cleaning, or working on bikes and cars we flipped and sold for profit. Viper hadn’t had a problem with the four new recruits, and had in fact welcomed them, after a thorough vetting.

As for Orvis—not sure where he ended up and I didn’t fucking care. All I knew was that if he showed up anywhere near New Orleans, his ass was ash.

Thirty minutes later, after some very quick shower sex, we arrived at the clubhouse.

“Colt, you’ve shown loyalty, respect, and truth of character to not only the Nighthawks, but to New Orleans. You are hereby patched as a member of the Nighthawks MC,” Viper said, handing me my new patches and removing the PROSPECT patch underneath my name.

I beamed in pride and stared at my girl. Ava squealed and clapped, staring at me with such pride and admiration that as long as I existed, she would be by my side, and that we would take on this world together.

“I love you,” I mouthed to her.

“Love you forever,” she mouthed back, blowing me a kiss.

A few more prospects were patched as well, and as we celebrated in the Cobalt Room, I looked around at my fellow brothers. I had finally found where I belonged. Here, with this group of vampire (and a wolf) misfits, and the love of my fucking life, in New Orleans, my forever home.

THE END
