Claimed By The Biker King
Jarek’s hand slides over my ass like a challenge, slow and deliberate, like he wants me to feel exactly where he thinks I belong.
I don’t hesitate.
My palm cracks across his face—sharp, loud, final.
“Careful,” he says quietly, fingers digging into my hip instead of letting go. “You keep hitting men like that, someone’s going to hit back.”
I tilt my chin up. “Try it.”
⸻
My parents owed Luke Jones money.
I paid the debt with my body, my name, and a marriage I never agreed to.
On paper, Luke is my husband. President of the Vipers MC. Untouchable.
Behind closed doors, he’s a man who can’t keep an erection and punishes me for it—with fists, words, and silence.
The only man that ever gave a shit a bout me was my brother, Steve.
Luke’s best friend. His VP.
Now Steve is dead.
And Luke has finally stopped pretending.
He moves Steve’s old lady into the clubhouse. Watches her. Wants her.
Just like he always has.
I secretly divorce him, disappear to the next town over.
And I walk straight into the territory of a rival MC.
Its president, Jarek Solen, notices me immediately.
He’s dangerous. Controlled. Watching.
The kind of man who doesn’t beg, doesn’t threaten—and doesn’t take no lightly.
I refuse him anyway.
Instead, I prospect his club. Earn my place the hard way.
I don’t want another man.
But Jarek Solen doesn’t see me as broken goods or borrowed property.
He sees me as his.
And when Luke realizes his wife is gone and his control is slipping—Jarek won’t hand me back.
He’ll start a war.
Because the Biker King doesn’t steal women.
He claims what chooses him.

Chapter: Chapter 54 – Let Her FightMarcusBy the time the fourth rumor reached us, Jarek had started looking at every doorway like it had personally offended him.The false Dagger cuts at the Vipers warehouse had not fooled Brian, and the stolen-cargo paperwork had not fooled Max. That should have helped. Instead, I could practically watch Jarek’s nerves tighten every time another message came in from a club that did not know us well enough to separate fact from whatever Mateo wanted circulating that hour.Sable was downstairs with Nixx when Jarek finally said, “Until we know how far this spreads, she stays inside the compound.”I looked up from the burner report I had been reading. He stood near the bedroom window with his arms folded, staring toward the gate. The bruising along his ribs had faded enough that he no longer moved like every breath hurt, but recovery had not done much for the part of him that wanted to control every variable he could see. Yesterday he had let Sable ride south with Brian because she was t

Chapter: Chapter 53 – Not Our ColorsSableBrian called before breakfast, and the first thing out of his mouth was, “Before you hear this from somebody else, no, I do not believe your club did it.”That got my attention faster than the coffee Marcus had just set in front of me. Jarek was already awake at the kitchen table with a legal pad beside his plate, pretending the fact that he had made it downstairs without anybody helping him meant he was fully recovered. Marcus stopped halfway to his own chair when I put Brian on speaker and asked what happened.“One of our storage properties got hit overnight,” Brian said. He sounded tired rather than angry, which told me he had already worked through whatever his first reaction had been. “South side warehouse. Mostly bike parts, some old records, tools. Nobody was there. Security caught three men going in through the rear around two twenty.”Jarek’s pen stopped moving. “And?”“They were wearing Black Daggers cuts.”The room went still, and I looked at Jarek first because I kne

Chapter: Chapter 52 – They Came to UsJarekThe call came at four seventeen the next afternoon.I knew the time because I had been staring at the clock when Marcus’s phone rang.Not because Sable was downstairs.Progress.Marcus answered on the second ring, listened for less than five seconds, then stood so fast the chair scraped across the floor. When I asked what happened, he looked straight at me.“Middletown Motor Works.”Everything in me changed.The Daggers owned the shop through a legitimate company handling motorcycle repair, parts, and fleet work. The front doors were closed for inventory, leaving Bryce, Smitty, and two trusted mechanics inside. The back office held years of old vendor invoices and local camera archives. At that morning’s operations briefing, we had assigned Stone and Nixx to pull those records tomorrow because two names from Mateo’s ledger appeared in old files. Enough brothers had heard that plan to make the timing a problem.Marcus put the phone on speaker, and Bryce’s voice came through over

Chapter: Chapter 51 – Run Him DownSableI hit the starter before the garage door finished slamming behind me, but Brian was half a second faster.The warning Jackal shot out of Vic’s lot in the black pickup hard enough to fishtail across both lanes before the tires caught. Brian went after him with Tag immediately behind, while Stone pulled into traffic on my right and Nixx stayed close enough to keep the five of us together without stacking bikes on top of one another. The comm in my helmet cracked alive with Brian reminding everyone not to shoot unless the bastard gave us a reason.I rolled harder on the throttle.The industrial strip gave the Jackal exactly what he needed. Wide roads, warehouse entrances, delivery trucks, and enough intersections that one lucky light could put half a mile between us. He blew through the first yellow and clipped the red on the next without slowing. Brian and Tag made it through before a delivery van cut across my lane and forced me onto the brakes.“Fuck.”Stone stayed with me while

Chapter: Chapter 50 – I Can Do My JobSableBy ten the next morning, Jarek had managed to say no four different ways without actually using the word.The first came when Brian told us he still had one old Vipers contact who might recognize the warning Jackal. Jarek wanted to know why Brian could not simply call the man. When Brian explained that Vic Salazar had spent years doing quiet favors for Luke and Gino and would not say anything useful over a phone, Jarek suggested Brian take Tag and Stone instead. Then I said I was going, and the room went quiet long enough for Marcus to stop pretending he had not seen the argument coming from half a mile away.Jarek sat at the war-room table with one hand wrapped around a coffee he had forgotten to drink. He looked better than he had two days ago, but there were still shadows under his eyes and a stiffness to the way he turned his upper body instead of twisting through his ribs. None of that made the expression on his face any less presidential or any less husband. Those two part

Chapter: Chapter 49 – The LedgerMarcusBy the time the last motorcycle rolled through the gate, it was after one in the morning and the clubhouse had settled into the kind of noise that meant the night was finally winding down.Not silence. The Black Daggers were almost never silent. Somebody was still arguing near the bar, bottles clinked in the kitchen, and Hannah had threatened three different men with bodily harm if she found birthday cake ground into the floor by morning. But the visiting Vipers were gone, Max and Emilio had headed back to their rooms, and enough people had drifted upstairs or out to the bunkhouse that Nixx could carry his laptop into the war room without making it look like we were calling an emergency meeting.That mattered now.Everything mattered now.Jarek came in behind me with Sable beside him. He was moving better than he had a few days ago, but the stairs and an evening on his feet had taken more out of him than he wanted anyone to notice. He lowered himself into the chair at the end o

The Sacred Pack Of The True Luna
Aurelya “Rae” Rivers has spent her entire life surviving in a world that was never meant for her.
Raised in a wolf pack that isn’t hers, she’s the girl everyone tolerates—but no one claims. Not even Grant Kingston, the future Alpha… and the boy who used to be hers.
Until he got his wolf.
Until he started looking at her like she was something he couldn’t touch.
Rae’s plan is simple: graduate, leave, and never look back.
But Ravenwood Academy has other plans.
Because suddenly, the most powerful wolves in school won’t leave her alone.
The Beta who watches her like she’s a puzzle he needs to solve.
The Gamma who will break bones for her without hesitation.
The Delta who knows when she’s hurting before she says a word.
And Grant?
Grant is losing control.
Because no matter how hard he tries to stay away… his wolf won’t let him.
Especially not when another Alpha heir starts circling her.
Now Rae is caught in the middle of something dangerous—whispers, jealousy, and a pull she doesn’t understand. They say she’s manipulating them. Using them. Taking what was never hers to begin with.
They have no idea how wrong they are.
Because Rae isn’t human.
And when the truth finally breaks free…
So will everything else.
Including the bond that ties her not to one wolf—
—but to all four.

Chapter: Chapter 112 – HomeRaeSonya texted me after dinner.Can you come by the house when you have a minute? Harold and I have something for you.I stared at the message long enough for Grant to notice.We were all in the command dorm, scattered through the common room after somehow spending most of the day together and still ending up in the same place afterward. Brax and Linc had claimed opposite ends of the couch before gradually taking over most of the middle too, while Julien sat in one of the chairs with a book open across his lap.Grant leaned closer. “Mom?”I showed him the message.His eyebrows pulled together. “Do you know what they want?”“Nope.”Brax looked over the back of the couch. “Are we in trouble?”“You’re always in trouble.”“Fair.”I stood and reached for my jacket.Grant started to rise with me.“I’ll be back.”He stopped. “You sure?”“Yeah.”His concern touched the bond without becoming a demand. I leaned down and kissed him before heading toward the door.“Text if Mom has food.”Brax s

Chapter: Chapter 111 – The Luna They Couldn’t HideRaeThe first time I walked through Ravenwood Academy, everyone had known I was human.Or thought they knew.The difference hadn’t mattered much at the time. Humans didn’t belong at Ravenwood. That was the rule nobody needed to write down because every wolf understood it, and for years I’d moved through these halls surrounded by people who could smell exactly what I supposedly wasn’t. Conversations had stopped when I passed. People had laughed. Others had simply looked through me, which sometimes hurt worse.Now I made it twelve steps inside the main building before a sophomore I’d never spoken to lowered his head.“Luna.”“Morning.”His friend did the same, and I answered him too before continuing down the hall with Grant beside me and Julien, Brax and Linc close behind. Grant’s hand brushed mine but didn’t close around it until I turned my palm toward his. The contact warmed our bond, echoed through the rest of the network and settled into the familiar awareness of all four of them

Chapter: Chapter 110 – Aunt ElenaRaeElena tried to control the evidence before the blood was cleaned from the council floor.That was almost impressive.Alpha Vicker had brought her to the hearing under guard because the records she’d collected were part of the evidence connecting Frank’s Pureblood network to council members and multiple packs. Jesse hadn’t been part of the original hearing at all. He’d arrived later with the Vicker team sent to secure their records after the attack began, which was apparently how he ended up finding Elena before anyone else realized she’d slipped away from the delegation assigned to watch her.He found us near the temporary holding rooms.“Elena’s gone.”Everything stopped.Jesse looked like he’d been dragged through half the building on his way to us. His shirt was untucked, his hair was a mess and a bruise had started forming along his jaw.“What do you mean, gone?” Grant asked.“My father ordered her to stay with the Vicker delegation while the council locked down the building.

Frank’s carefully prepared escape corridor had failed along with the strategy that was supposed to create it.He turned slowly.“You should go back to your mates.”“I think they’re doing fine.”As if answering me, Brax’s fierce satisfaction surged through the network from somewhere inside the chamber.Frank noticed my smile. “You think you’ve won.”“I think you’re running.”“I am leaving a compromised council facility.”“Through an emergency stairwell while your people get arrested.”His mouth tightened.I stopped several feet away.For years, I’d imagined my father as something larger than a man.

Chapter: Chapter 108 – Sacred PackRaeFrank turned toward me with the ceremonial blade in his hand.He never made it three steps.Brax hit him from the side hard enough to send both of them into the council table. Wood cracked beneath their combined weight, papers scattering across the floor as Frank lost the blade. Linc kicked it away before anyone could reach for it, while Grant pulled me clear and Julien shouted for the council guards to lock down the exits.For half a second, I thought that was it.Then three wolves shifted.The sound of breaking bones ripped through the chamber as men from Frank’s delegation dropped onto four legs. Screams erupted from the upper rows, and the room dissolved into movement as representatives scrambled away from the central floor. More of Frank’s people surged forward without shifting, but their targets made no sense if the goal was simply to reach me.The first wolf went for Grant. Another lunged toward Julien while two men rushed Brax from opposite sides, deliberately driving him

My Boyfriend’s Dad Is My Gynecologist
I slide into the bath and let my muscles melt.
My mind drifts—back to dinner, the city skyline glittering behind Tommy’s head.
I close my eyes, biting my lip.
One hand trails beneath the water, slow and lazy.
I don’t mean to. But it’s all still so fresh—the way his hands felt on my skin, how deeply he—
Except, it’s not Tommy I’m imagining anymore. It’s the doctor.
Suddenly, it’s his fingers I’m imagining spreading me open. That cool composure cracking as he groans my name into my neck.
“Oh, fuck,” I moan, breath catching as the orgasm rips through me like a shot of white lightning.
My back arches against the porcelain. Water sloshes.
“Dr. Cole,” I gasp before I can stop it.
And then I freeze.
What.
The.
Hell.
****************************************************
He’s her gynecologist. Her client. And her boyfriend’s father.
What could possibly go wrong?
Beth thought dating Tommy was the start of something stable. Sure, he was cocky and impulsive—but charming, right? Until the red flags started piling up. The gambling. The secrets. The mood swings. The way he always blamed her when things went wrong.
But then she meets his father.
Dr. Stacy Cole.
Silver fox. Calm. Collected. Everything Tommy wasn’t. And she already know him.
He’s her OB/GYN. Her firm’s newest client. And the man who makes her body betray her every time he’s near.
Beth knows she should stay away. But when Tommy starts spiraling and Stacy starts looking less like a boundary and more like a lifeline… she’s forced to face a terrifying truth:
She might be falling for the one man who could destroy everything.
Taboo. Addictive. Slow burning. Emotionally dangerous.
This isn’t your average age-gap romance.

Chapter: Epilogue – Small Town, Big LifeBethThe smell of grilled corn and smoked ribs drifted on the summer air, mingling with the squeals of kids chasing bubbles across the backyard.Crystal’s youngest—Chelsea—was already halfway up the treehouse with her older brother, Zack, shouting warnings below her. Lily was belly-laughing in her daddy’s lap like someone had just told her the funniest joke in the universe. And BJ—my BJ—was standing proudly at the grill with his father, using tongs that were clearly too big for his hands but not his confidence.“This one’s almost done,” he said, pointing to a chicken thigh with the air of a future surgeon.Stacy gave a solemn nod. “Doctor approved.”I eased back onto the picnic bench, rubbing the side of my belly. Still three months to go, but this boy? He was a kicker. Just like his brother. And apparently his brother before him if that chaos in my ribs was any indication.Rachel flopped down beside me with an exaggerated groan, her own very-much-twin-packed belly resting like a smal

Chapter: Chapter 176 – The Name on My ChestBethThe hospital room was warm. Quiet.The lights were dimmed, the monitor beside my bed blinking in lazy rhythms. Somewhere down the hall, a nurse laughed. The world kept turning.But mine had stopped.Right here.Right now.Right in the curve of my arm where my son—our son—slept like he hadn’t just made the most dramatic entrance in hospital history.He was perfect.Ten fingers. Ten toes. A pouty little mouth that already knew how to scowl like his father. And hair—soft, dark, and impossibly thick. His eyes had barely opened yet, but when they had, I’d seen it.All the fight.All the light.All the love I didn’t know I had to give until he took it with a single breath.Stacy was asleep in the recliner beside me, head tilted back, mouth slightly open. He still had a smear of blood on his shirt and the kind of bone-deep exhaustion that only comes from catching your own child like a fucking superhero.I smiled.Then I looked down at the baby again.We hadn’t named him yet.

He pointed right back at Stacy. “He’s the one that put the baby in you! So maybe redirect that rage to the dick responsible.““You’re the one that said, ‘I’ll see you next week if you make it that far!’” I snapped. “I didn’t even make it ten goddamn steps! I barely made it past the stirrups!”Adam started laughing. Loud, unbothered, arms spread wide like he’d just nailed a punchline at a stand-up show.“Well, what can I say?” he grinned. “The kid’s got a flair for dramatic exits. But hey—you’re f

Chapter: Chapter 174 – Time to BreatheBethThe crinkling of the paper sheet beneath me was the only sound in the room.I shifted my hips slightly, adjusting the paper drape over my lap for the third time, even though it didn’t matter. I was already bare from the waist down. Already stretched out on the exam table like some overripe melon waiting to be prodded.Pregnancy glamour at its peak.The room was quiet, cool, and familiar by now. The framed ultrasound prints on the wall. The faint scent of sanitizer and lavender. The hum of fluorescent lights overhead.My OB was my husband’s best friend.My feet were in stirrups.And I was officially 37 weeks pregnant.Time to start the weekly countdown.There was a light knock before the door cracked open. “It’s just me,” Adam’s voice called out as he stepped inside, eyes respectfully fixed on his tablet until the door clicked shut behind him. “How are we doing today, mama?”“Uncomfortable,” I said flatly. “Sleep is a myth.

Whitney didn’t look at us. She hadn’t looked at us once since walking in. She sat still in her chair, hands folded tightly in her lap, lips pressed into a straight, bloodless line.Only when the judge thanked her for cooperating with law enforcement did I see it.A flicker.Not remorse. Not shame.Relief.She’d saved herself.Not us.The bailiff moved to escort her out, chains clinking faintly. That’s when she finally turned her head. Her eyes landed on Stacy for just a second.

Chapter: Thank you readersMy dear readers,Thank you.Truly—thank you for walking through this world with me. For following Elira, Ronan, and Caelan through curses, war, prophecy, heartbreak, found family, and love powerful enough to reshape realms.This story began as an idea about fate, but somewhere along the way it became a story about chosen bonds, healing after ruin, and building light after surviving darkness. And none of it would have meant as much without you reading, commenting, supporting, and believing in these characters with me.Because of you, Shadowhearth lives.And… as you may have noticed, I left a few doors open. 👀Brad’s mate has arrived. The twins have a mysterious destiny. The Flame, Moon, and Earth trinity may not be finished yet.So if you would like to see this world continue—please let me know.The best way to do that is by leaving a rating for the book and dropping me a comment with your rating (I see those comments much more easily there).

Chapter: Epilogue – When the Future ArrivesEliraThe twins were trying to summon a dragon out of mud.At least, that was Gregor’s explanation.“It needs horns,” he insisted, crouched in the grass with his hands coated to the wrists in dirt, dark hair falling into his eyes in the exact unruly way Ronan’s did when he refused to tie it back.“It needs wings,” Sylvie corrected with all the authority of a child half convinced she had been born older than her brother.She punctuated this by accidentally making her fingers glow.Again.Gold light flickered around her knuckles, brightening with her frustration until the mud dragon shimmered as if blessed by moonlight.Neither child found this remotely unusual.I did.Every time.Gregor, meanwhile, had inherited his father’s infernal streak in ways both fascinating and exhausting. When angry, the air around him heated perceptibly. When excited, shadows occasionally bent in ways they should not. Two weeks earlier he had opened what Ronan swore was a “very small and harmless” portal insi

Chapter: Chapter 142 – Promise of TomorrowEliraThe room that would become the nursery had once been a storage chamber.Caelan had said this with such pride you would have thought he had personally discovered buried treasure rather than cleared out old ledgers, winter furs, and cracked training shields to make space for two unborn children.Now sunlight spilled through widened windows where heavy shutters used to be, turning dust motes into gold. Fresh pine boards lined one wall where new shelving had been built. A carved cradle sat half-finished near the hearth, the wood still raw in places because Ronan insisted on doing some of the carving himself despite repeatedly proving he had all the delicate finesse of a battle axe.I stood in the doorway watching the two of them argue over a cradle rail.Again.“It’s crooked,” Ronan said.“It is not crooked.”“It leans.”“It has character.”“It has a tilt.”Caelan stepped back, folded his arms, and gave the cradle an offended look as if betrayed by lumber.I laughed before I meant to

Chapter: Chapter 141 – The New HomeEliraPeace, I learned, did not arrive with trumpets.It came in quieter ways.In doors left open.In laughter drifting from cabins at dusk.In the absence of people flinching when footsteps approached.In mornings where no one asked who might attack before nightfall.For so long survival had been measured by what we escaped. Now, somehow, life was beginning to be measured by what we were building.And that felt stranger than war ever had.The days after learning of the twins settled into a rhythm so ordinary and miraculous I found myself guarding it almost superstitiously, as though naming my happiness too boldly might frighten it away.Shadowhearth no longer felt like Caelan’s pack reluctantly absorbing Ronan’s displaced wolves.It had become one living thing.Cabins once half-empty now held children racing between porches, borrowed dishes exchanged without asking, and old loyalties dissolving in the practical intimacy of shared life. Former wasteland wolves worked alongside Shadowhe

Chapter: Chapter 140 – Twin FireEliraI lasted perhaps ten minutes after the ceremony before June’s expression unnerved me enough that celebration became impossible.I tried to stay present. I tried to let the congratulations wash over me, to let myself absorb the gravity of what had just happened in the great hall. People pressed my hands and offered blessings. Elders who had once regarded me with suspicion now bowed their heads in acknowledgment. The room pulsed with music, voices, and the strange, beautiful disorder of a people learning how to be one.But beneath all of it, something in me felt unsettled.Not frightened.Heightened.As though the surge of magic that had nearly dropped me to my knees during the rite had left some current still moving quietly beneath my skin.And every time I looked across the room, June was watching me.Not casually.Studying me.It did not escape either of my mates.Ronan noticed first, because Ronan noticed everything where I was concerned, though he often pretended otherwise.

Chapter: Chapter 139 – The Unity RiteEliraBy the time we entered the great hall, word had already outrun us.I felt it in the way every conversation softened as we crossed the threshold, in the way bodies shifted aside not out of fear or obligation but with something closer to reverence, though I still wasn’t sure I knew what to do with being looked at that way.The hall itself had changed in the short time since breakfast.Or perhaps it had always been prepared for something like this and I had simply never imagined standing at the center of it.Long tables had been pushed back to clear the middle of the room. Torches burned in iron brackets along the stone walls, their flames casting a warm gold across the old carved beams overhead. Fresh pine boughs had been woven along the pillars in the old Shadowhearth style, but among them hung braided leather cords adorned with bone and feathers—tokens I recognized from the wasteland wolves, markers of survival, kinship, and vows kept under impossible conditions.Two worlds.Int
