Ryder POV

I don't leave her room. Can't leave her room. Not when my mind won't stop running through every terrible possibility of what her power means.

Jolie sleeps hard, her breathing deep and steady. She's curled on her side with her hand still in mine, and even in sleep, she looks exhausted. Whatever she did to heal me took something out of her.

My ribs ache where the cut used to be. I lift my shirt in the dim light from her window and study the thin scar. Hours ago, this was a gaping wound that should have laid me up for weeks.

Now it's barely visible.

I ease my hand from hers and stand, every instinct screaming at me not to leave. But I need answers, and Doc's the only one who might have them.

******

The medical cabin is dark except for a single lamp burning in the back room. I find Doc hunched over his desk, writing in one of his leather journals.

He looks up when I walk in. His eyes go to my ribs, visible through my torn shirt, and his expression sharpens. "That looks better,"

  • Claimed By The Biker Alpha   Chapter 39- Moon fire Legacy

    Jolie POVI woke up in Ryder's bed. Again. This was becoming a pattern.The room was dark except for a single lamp. Ryder sat in the chair beside the bed, his head in his hands. He looked exhausted, his shirt still missing from earlier, dried blood streaking his chest."Hey," I croaked.His head snapped up. In two steps he was beside me, his hand on my face. "You scared the hell out of me.""What happened?" My mouth tasted bitter. Every muscle ached like I'd run a marathon."You healed Knox." His thumb traced my cheekbone. "Completely. The silver poisoning, the wound, everything. Then you collapsed."Memory flooded back. The light. Knox's scream. The feeling of power draining out of me like water through a broken dam."Is he okay?" I asked."He's fine. Better than fine. You saved his life." Ryder's jaw tightened. "But you almost killed yourself doing it."I tried to sit up. My arms shook with the effort. "I had to do it. He's part of my pack.""You've been unconscious for six hours."

  • Claimed By The Biker Alpha   Chapter 38- Aftermath and Revelation

    Ryder POVThe ceremony ended with Jolie's lips against mine and the taste of blood between us. "Well," Judge Hermann said weakly, clutching his book like a shield. "That's... legally binding."I pulled back from Jolie, keeping her wrapped in my arms. She was shaking now, the adrenaline wearing off. My shirt hung off one shoulder, revealing the bite mark I'd left during the sex we had. Fresh bruises were already forming on her arms."Everyone alive?" I called out.Cass did a quick count. "Three dead. Mara's got a broken arm. Phoenix took a nasty hit to the head. Luna's ribs are cracked. But we're standing.""Good." I lifted Jolie into my arms. She didn't protest, just buried her face against my chest. "Get Doc. Now."The medical building was trashed. Broken glass crunched under my boots. Blood pooled on the floor, some ours, most theirs. The Nightshade wolves we'd killed were already being dragged outside by Knox and his crew.Doc appeared in the doorway, his medical bag in one hand,

  • Claimed By The Biker Alpha   Chapter 37:

    Jolie pov A man came at me with his gun but I knocked it away as I kicked him off. Another came at Phoenix was was down in minutes blood pooling under his head in an expanding circle.Something inside me snapped. Ash surged forward. Not the terrified, trembling wolf I'd always been. My shift was smooth. My bones were breaking and reforming. Skin tearing and healing. But faster than ever before. More smooth like my body finally knew what it was meant to be.When I opened my eyes, the world was different. Every scent was distinct, every sound was crystal clear.The warrior dropped Luna and stared at me, his expression shifting from triumph to uncertainty.I was bigger. Not massive like Ryder's wolf, but not the pathetic runt I'd always been. My fur rippled with light, catching the flames from outside. The warrior lunged. I met him mid-air, our bodies colliding with bone-jarring force.We went down in a tangle of claws and teeth. He was bigger and trained in ways I'd never been.But

  • Claimed By The Biker Alpha   Chapter 36- The Luna's Stand

    Jolie pov I woke up to Luna wiping blood off my face."Easy." She caught me when I tried to sit up too fast, her hands firm but gentle on my shoulders. "You passed out.""How long?" My mouth tasted bitter. I swallowed hard, fighting the nausea rising in my throat."Twenty minutes." She helped me stand, keeping one arm wrapped around my waist for support. "Can you walk?"I took a step. My legs held. Barely. The world tilted slightly, then righted itself."What's happening?" I asked, my voice hoarse."Your mating ceremony." She grabbed a clean shirt from somewhere behind me, the fabric soft against my fingers. "Right now.""But" I started to protest, but she was already pulling at my ruined shirt."Ryder's orders." She pulled my ruined shirt over my head and replaced it with the clean one, her movements efficient and practiced. "The attack changed everything. We're doing this before anyone else tries to stop us."My brain felt sludge. "The attackers?" I managed to ask, blinking to clea

  • Claimed By The Biker Alpha   Chapter 35: Bachelor Party Bloodbath

    Ryder povThe ride was supposed to be simple.Fifteen bikes, twenty wolves, one last run before I became a mated man. We'd hit the highway, run the northern loop, should be back in three hours.Should've known better."Contacts on our six." Cass's voice crackled through my helmet comm. "Three vehicles, moving fast."I checked my mirror. Behind me was a black SUVs with tinted windows. Not the Steel Serpents' usual style."Split formation." I revved my engine. "Knox, take half the pack east. We'll draw them north."The pack split smoothly. Years of riding together meant no wasted movement. But the SUVs stuck with my group."They're targeting you specifically." Cass pulled up beside me. "This isn't random."The first shots confirmed it. Bullets sparked off the road behind my bike."Silver rounds." Knox's voice came through the comm. "We've got shooters on the east road too. It's a coordinated attack."My wolf snarled inside me. They'd planned this. Waited for us to leave the compound vul

    Jolie pov I woke up to chaos.Someone was hammering outside my window as music blasted from the garage. People shouted back and forth across the compound.I checked my phone. Two in the afternoon. I'd slept fourteen hours.My door opened. Luna came in carrying clothes and a huge grin."You're awake," she said, tossing the clothes on my bed. "Good. We've got six hours until the ceremony and a lot to do.""Six hours?" I sat up too fast as my head spun."Ryder moved it up. Again," Luna explained, opening my closet and pulling things out. "Apparently some Council observers showed up in town this morning. We need you officially mated before they can file any injunctions."The words took a moment to process. "They're trying to stop it?" I asked, my voice coming out smaller than I wanted."Gio's playing every card he has," Luna said, holding up a black dress. She considered it for a moment, then tossed it aside. "But once you're mated and the paperwork's filed, he's out of moves. You'll be
