Jolie pov

The words hit me. "You're lying."

"Am I?" Seraphina's eyes are hard. "Ask him. Ask him about the pup he refused to claim. The child he forced me to raise alone because he was too selfish to accept responsibility."

"If that's true, where's the child now?" I demand.

Something flickers in Seraphina's expression. "Stillborn. Six months into the pregnancy. The stress of him leaving, of being abandoned by my mate—it killed my pup."

"Ryder's not your mate." I'm say my voice wavering slightly. "He told me Aria was the only mate he had before me."

"Chosen mate." Seraphina clarifies. "We never completed the bond ceremony, but we chose each other. And he destroyed that choice when he abandoned us."

"I don't believe you."

"You don't have to." Seraphina moves toward the door. "But ask yourself this—if he kept secrets about knowing me, what other secrets is he keeping? If he lied about the nature of our relationship, what else has he lied about?"

She's gone before I can form a response.

  • Claimed By The Biker Alpha   Chapter 108 - The Nightshade Wedding Looms

    Jolie POVThe wedding has been postponed to 2 weeks, and I still haven't decided what I'm going to wear.It's a stupid thing to focus on, but it feels safer than thinking about walking back into Nightshade territory. Safer than wondering what my father's planning with his emotionless new bride.I'm sorting through clothes in our bedroom when my phone buzzes. Gio's name flashes on the screen.I answer immediately. "What's wrong?""I need to show you something." His voice is tight. "Can you video call? Privately?""Hold on." I move to Ryder's office and lock the door behind me. "Okay. I'm alone."The video connects, and Gio's face appears. He looks worse than the last time we talked. Dark circles under his eyes, jaw tight with tension."I'm sending you a file." He glances over his shoulder. "Watch it after we hang up. Don't let anyone else see it until you've decided what to do."My stomach drops. "Gio, what's going on?""Father is planning something. I don't know what exactly, but Cele

  • Claimed By The Biker Alpha   Chapter 107 - Knox's Warning

    Ryder POVI watch Jolie leave my office, her shoulders tight with tension, and I want to follow her. Want to fix this immediately.But I force myself to stay put.She needs space, time to process. Chasing her right now will only make things worse.The door opens five minutes later. Knox fills the frame, his expression grim."We need to talk." He closes the door behind him. "Now."I lean back in my chair. "About?""About the fact that your mate just ran out of here crying." Knox crosses his arms. "Again.""We had a disagreement." I keep my voice neutral. "We worked it out.""Did you?" Knox moves closer. "Because from where I'm standing, that golden she-wolf is winning."My hands curl into fists. "What are you talking about?""Seraphina." Knox's voice is flat. "She's playing games, Alpha. Getting in Jolie's head, making her doubt you. Making her doubt everything.""I know." I say . "Luna already gave me the full report. Professional mate-breaker, hired to destroy bonds. We're documentin

  • Claimed By The Biker Alpha   Chapter 105 - The Golden Wolf's Game

    Jolie POVI wake up feeling slightly sore and more human after a full night's sleep.Doc cleared me for light activity this morning, which means I can finally leave the bedroom without Ryder hovering. I love him, but his protective instincts were starting to feel suffocating.Luna finds me in the kitchen making tea. "You look better.""I feel better." I pour a second cup for her. "Still tired, but not like I'm going to collapse anymore.""Good." Luna accepts the tea. "Because we need to talk about Seraphina."My stomach tightens. "What about her?""Knox ran deeper background checks." Luna pulls out her tablet. "Seraphina Cross has a pattern. Three different packs, three broken mate bonds, and convenient payments from mysterious sources right before she shows up."The tea suddenly tastes bitter. "She's done this before.""Multiple times." Luna scrolls through data. "She's a professional mate-breaker. Gets hired by powerful families to destroy inconvenient bonds. Usually through seducti

    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
