Shock freezes me for a moment before I relax and smile up at him. “I take it you two saw it earlier this morning and maybe just now, huh?”
“Yeah, Wildcat. We both caught a glimpse of your sleeve.”
“Sleeve?” Reaper asks as his gaze darts between us, and I chuckle before lifting my shirt a little and pulling the clasps attached to the sleeve. Since I have on a looser shirt around my stomach, all four pouches flip forward, revealing eight small, handmade blades in each pouch. Whistles ring out from the guys along with the twin’s laughter. Turning back to my guys, I give them each a quick kiss.
“I only have eyes for you two. If someone gets out of hand as those two idiots did, I won’t draw blood unless I have to. However, I won’t tolerate anyone disrespecting me and as a result, disrespecting either of you. Just so you know, Sasha has a sleeve similar to mine as well, whereas Alexei had to get a bit more creative with hiding his weapons. Though all our riding boots share the same features as his.”
At my words, Sasha undoes her clasps and four pouches also slip out from under her shirt. Then all attention turns to Alexei, and whistles sound out once again as he triggers his toe and heel blades.
“Gamber’s Daggers is what they’re called. We’ve also sewn sheathes for four blades in each boot. So, if we’re going anywhere where there’s a metal detector, please let us know so we can switch out our gear.”
Laughter rings out at his words and Reaper’s guys that are nearby looked shocked and, frankly, a little afraid of us. Reaper, however, is currently doubled over, laughing as his hands rest on his knees. His other men that are spread out around the yard look over at us in curiosity and amusement at seeing their President nearly crying with laughter. I’m sure he’ll be getting a lot of ribbing later.
“Fuck, Thor, these three are lethal,” Reaper says as he straightens and runs a hand through his dark brown hair. As his laughter dies down, he looks at Sasha and me. “Apologies for my brother’s words and actions, ladies. I won’t make excuses for them, but they both have a hard time trusting women. However, that still doesn’t condone their actions. I’ll speak to them later about that.”
Something shifts in me slightly as I glance at Atlas and Cannon’s receding backs. While I hate that someone has caused both of them enough pain that they don’t trust women, I still can’t ignore the fact that they didn’t back down right away when we made it clear we weren’t interested.
As I secure my pouches back into their hidden position, I vaguely hear my guys whispering behind me. Glancing up at them, I catch Thor nodding at someone. Following his line of sight, I notice Phoenix getting up and heading inside.
“What’s going on?” I ask quietly.
“We have a couple of club announcements that we need to make in a moment. How about you ladies go get a drink and some food? Alexei, can you go with them? Until word spreads that they aren’t to be touched, I’ll feel better knowing you’re with them.”
Alexei nods, and I gave both of my guys each a quick kiss, though it doesn’t escape me that Alexei seems to stand taller at Thor’s words.
“I gotta head back to the gate, babe. Text me if there’s any more trouble,” Colt says.
She nods, and he gives her a quick kiss before heading back to his post. She links her arm through mine, and we make our way to the buffet table with Alexei right behind us.

The twins, Travis, Ethan, and I, are talking with Ryder, Timber, Reaper, and a few of his men—Devil, his VP, and Punisher, his Enforcer—when the back door opens, and the club bunnies come strutting out. Four of them are barely dressed in crop tops and short ass skirts that damn near show their hoochies.
“I wish they had minimum clothing restrictions. I get that they’re here for entertainment for the uncommitted guys, but yeah, I don’t want to see that,” I mumble as I try, and apparently fail, to contain my grimace based on some of the guys’ laughter. Though what surprises me is when a couple of the guys look up and grimace right along with me.
“Those four are always the worst at parties like this,” Ryder says as he shakes his head.
Reaper seems about to say something when an ear-piercing whistle sounds from across the yard. Looking in the direction that the whistle came from, Thor and Phoenix are standing together near a firepit. Phoenix is holding something behind his back, but I can’t tell what it was.
“I’d like your attention, please!” Thor calls out before waiting a few moments for the chatter to die down.
“Earlier today, there was a request that was entered. We met with the other officers and have come to a decision. Can I please have Alexei come forward?”
Confused, I turn toward Alexei and notice that he’s nervous as he gets up from his seat and walks toward Thor.
Thor nods to Phoenix, who pulls a box from behind his back and hands it to Alexei. He opens the box and flashes a huge smile at Thor, which he returns. My jaw drops when he pulls a cut out and slips it on before turning back toward the crowd. Well, shit. My brother was just accepted as a prospect in the club.
“Welcome to Steel Archangel’s, brother.”
A smile forms as I cheer with the others. Ever since he started apprenticing at Steel’s Ink, he’s been talking about joining the club. Sasha beams up at him as she cheers.
Thor holds up a hand to silence everyone. He scans the crowd, almost as if he’s looking for someone, and nods.
“We also have another announcement to make. Some of you heard it this morning, but I’m going to repeat it for those that weren’t here earlier. We’ve established some new rules in our club for the bunnies. I will be talking with other chapter Presidents about what we’re doing so that they’re aware as well. Even though Forest Creek is the mother chapter, each chapter will be making the call if they want to implement the same changes or not. Though I will be highly recommending the changes so that they’re in effect for whenever they need to fall back on them.”
Looking around, I don’t miss the glares directed at me from Tiffany, Ashley, and Trixie. The other three bunnies just look confused and slightly nervous.
“There is a three-strike policy that went into effect this morning. If a brother becomes involved with someone, you will not go around creating trouble. You do not approach them for sex. If you do any of these things, you’ll get a strike against you. You get three strikes, and you’re kicked out of the club. This also means that you aren’t able to work at any of our club businesses. If you live in one of our apartments or houses, you will be required to pay the rent that a non-club member is expected to pay. If you don’t want to pay the full rent, then you’ll be moving your ass out.
