Jolie pov

"As long as it takes." Ryder kisses my forehead. "And I'll be here every step of the way, reminding you when you forget."

"Promise?" My voice is small.

"Promise." He pulls me back against his chest. "Now rest. Actual rest, not just lying here worrying about everything."

"I don't know if I can." The anxiety is still humming under my skin. "My brain won't shut off."

"Then let me help." Ryder starts running his fingers through my hair, the gentle repetitive motion soothing. "Close your eyes. Focus on breathing and let everything else go."

I try to follow his instructions, focusing on the rhythm of his heartbeat, the warmth of his body, the safety of his arms.

Slowly, the anxiety begins to fade. The light around me stabilizes, glowing softly instead of flickering erratically.

"That's it." Ryder's voice is low and soothing. "Just rest, baby. I've got you."

Ryder’s fingers keep combing through my hair, slow and steady, but the calm he’s trying to give me twists into something hot

    Jolie pov "I don't know what I think anymore." I pull my hand back. "Everything feels confused and complicated.""Because you're exhausted." He doesn't push. "Both physically and emotionally. You need rest, baby. Real rest.""I can't rest." I gesture vaguely toward the window. "My father weeding is coming up soon, there is still so much to do.""The wedding is handled." Ryder's voice is calm. "Luna and Mara have everything under control, you just need to show up.""But""No buts." He's using his alpha voice now. "You're staying in this bed until Doc clears you. And when you do get up, you're going to take actual breaks between healing sessions. Understood?"Part of me wants to argue. To insist I'm fine and can handle whatever comes.But the exhaustion is so deep it's in my bones. And the idea of just resting, of not having to be useful or powerful or divine for a little while, sounds incredible."Okay." I sink back into the pillows. "I'll rest.""Thank you." Ryder leans down and kis

    Jolie POVSeraphina doesn't leave.I find this out two days later when I see her sitting in the common area, talking quietly with Phoenix as my stomach drops."I thought she was leaving." I pull Ryder aside."She was supposed to." His jaw tightens. "But Phoenix asked her to stay. Said she's family, and we don't turn away family.""Even family that was hired to destroy us?" My voice is sharper than intended."He doesn't believe that." Ryder runs a hand through his hair. "He thinks we misunderstood her intentions.""Or she's manipulating him too." I watch Phoenix laugh at something she says. "She's his cousin, she knows exactly which buttons to push.""I know." Ryder's frustration bleeds through the bond. "But I can't force her out without proof. Not when a pack member is vouching for her."The unfairness of it burns. She admitted to being hired, but only to us. In private, without witnesses.Now she's playing the victim, and Phoenix—sweet, traumatized Phoenix who still grieves his mur

  • Claimed By The Biker Alpha   Chapter 101: Making up

    Ryder POV "I deserve honesty." She corrects. "And respect. And to be treated like I'm strong enough to handle difficult things.""You're the strongest person I know." I mean every word. "Divine or not, you're fucking incredible.""Then treat me like it." She stands, pulling me up with her. "No more protection. No more control. Just partnership.""Partnership." I agree. "Starting now."We head back to the main house together, fingers intertwined. The pack notices immediately, relief visible on their faces. They've been worried about the distance between us.Seraphina is in the kitchen when we enter. She looks up, and something flickers in her eyes when she sees us together."Morning." Her smile is warm and genuine-looking. "I'm glad to see you two worked things out.""We did." I keep my arm around Jolie. "And I think we need to have a conversation, all three of us.""Oh?" Seraphina sets down the dish she was washing. "About what?""About why you're really here." Jolie's voice is calm

    Ryder "You're right." I step closer carefully. "I was trying to control the situation. Control what you knew, when you knew it, how much you had to deal with. And that's not fair to you.""No." Her voice cracks. "It's not.""I'm sorry." The words feel inadequate. "I fucked up. I kept things from you because I thought I was protecting you, but really I was just being a coward.""A coward?" She frowns."I was afraid." The admission costs me. "Afraid that if you knew about Seraphina, you'd see a version of me I'm not proud of. The angry, violent, toxic bastard I used to be. I wanted to keep being the man you see me as, not the man I actually was."Jolie is quiet for a long moment. Then she crosses the room and takes my hands."I don't need you to be perfect." Her eyes search mine. "I need you to be honest. Even when it's ugly. Even when it makes you look bad.""I know." I squeeze her hands. "I'm sorry, baby. I'm so fucking sorry.""Why does she want revenge?" Jolie asks. "What did you d

    Ryder POVI don't go back to the main house after Jolie refuses to talk to me.Instead, I ride. Fast and reckless down mountain roads, pushing my bike to dangerous speeds, trying to outrun the guilt eating me alive.Shadow is howling inside my mind, desperate to go back and break down that cabin door. Force her to listen, to make her understand.But I can't, in fact I won’t. Because forcing Jolie to do anything is exactly what her old pack did, and I swore I'd never be like them.Even if it's killing me to give her space.By the time I return to the compound, dawn is breaking. I'm exhausted, my wolf is a mess, and I still haven't figured out how to fix this.Cass is waiting on the porch. He takes one look at my face and shakes his head."You look like hell.""Thanks." I kill the engine. "Really needed to hear that.""You need to tell her everything." Cass doesn't sugarcoat it. "About Seraphina. About what you two really were, before she finds out some other way.""I tried." I run a h
