Jolie POV

I wake up to find Luna sitting beside the bed, reading a book. She looks up when I stir, and something in her expression—relief mixed with wariness—tells me this conversation won't be simple.

"There she is." She sets the book aside. "How do you feel?"

"Like I got hit by a truck." I try to sit up and immediately regret it. Every muscle protests, bone-deep exhaustion making even breathing feel like effort. My arms shake with the strain of supporting my weight. "How long was I out?"

"Twelve hours." She hands me a water bottle, watching carefully as I take it with trembling fingers. "Drink. Doc's orders."

I drain half the bottle before asking, "Phoen?"

"Up and walking around like nothing happened." Luna smiles, but there's something complicated in it. "The other injured wolves are stable too. You saved three lives yesterday, Jolie."

The weight of those words settles over me. Three lives. Because of something I did. Not because I was strong or fast or powerful in the ways t

  • Claimed By The Biker Alpha   Chapter 124 - Return to Nightshade

    Ryder POVThe roar of six motorcycles echoes through the mountain pass as we approach Nightshade territory.Jolie rides behind me, her arms wrapped around my waist, silver light barely contained beneath her skin. I feel her tension through our bond—not fear exactly, but anticipation. Like a warrior preparing for battle.Luna and Knox ride to our left, Cass and Phoenix to our right. We form a tight formation, pack colors visible on every jacket. Iron Fangs in bold silver lettering, wolf symbols stitched across our shoulders and backs.We're not hiding who we are, not anymore."Territory line in two miles." Knox's voice comes through our comm units. "Security checkpoint ahead.""Copy that." I feel Jolie's grip tighten slightly. "Everyone stays alert. This is their ground, their rules until we prove otherwise."The Nightshade Estate comes into view as we round the final curve. It's exactly as pretentious as I expected—white marble columns, manicured gardens, crystal fountains. Every inch

    Jolie pov "Wardrobes are handled." Mara makes final notes on her sketch. "I'll have everything ready in a few days. That gives us time for final fittings and adjustments.""What about pack attendance?" Luna looks around. "How many of us are going?""Core group only." Ryder's voice is firm. "Jolie, me, Luna, Knox, Cass, and Phoenix. Doc stays here in case we need emergency medical support remotely and Mara runs compound security while we're gone.""I want to go." Mara protests. "I want to see you put that bastard in his place.""I need you here." I touch her arm. "Protecting our home, keeping our pack safe. That's just as important as what we're doing there."She softens slightly. "Fine. But you better tell me everything when you get back.""Every detail." I promise. "Including whatever happens when I try to read Celeste.""About that." Doc enters carrying a medical kit. "I've prepared supplies in case your empathy triggers unexpectedly. Sedatives for both you and the target, somethin

  • Claimed By The Biker Alpha   Chapter 122 - Preparing for Battle

    Jolie POVMara's workshop is chaos organized into submission. Leather samples hang from every available surface, sorted by color and texture. Sketches cover the walls—designs for jackets, pants, boots, everything a biker could want. In the center, three mannequins wear partially finished pieces, pins marking where adjustments need to be made."Sit." Mara points to a stool. "Let me get measurements."I sit while she pulls out a measuring tape. Ryder leans against the doorframe, watching with obvious amusement as Mara circles me with professional efficiency."Arms up." She measures my wingspan. "You're tiny. This is going to be a challenge.""Thanks?" I'm not sure if that's a compliment."It's a good challenge." She grins. "Small frame means we can go dramatic without overwhelming you. Plus, your silver hair is a gift—it'll pop against dark leather.""What are you thinking?" Ryder asks."Something that says 'I could kill you but I'm choosing to be polite.'" Mara sketches rapidly. "Fitte

    Jolie pov "Possible." Doc leans closer. "But more likely, she's been trained to suppress emotion. The Council had programs for that—teaching wolves to control their reactions until they became automatic.""Why would they do that?" Cass frowns."To create perfect soldiers. Perfect spies." Luna's voice is grim. "Wolves who could infiltrate packs without emotional tells. Who could make cold, logical decisions without empathy getting in the way.""You think Celeste is one of those?" Ryder asks."I think she's exactly what the Council would create if they wanted a weapon that looked like a bride." Luna pulls up more files. "The Whitmore Pack has Council connections going back three generations. Gregory Whitmore served on special Council committees. Celeste was educated at Council-approved academies. Everything about her screams program participant.""So my father is marrying a Council plant." I process this. "Someone designed to infiltrate our family and gain access to me.""That's the th

  • Claimed By The Biker Alpha   Chapter 120 - The Wedding Decision

    Jolie POVI wake to find Ryder already dressed, standing at the window with his phone pressed to his ear."I don't care what it costs." His voice is tight. "I want everything you can find on Celeste Whitmore and her family. Everything."I sit up, and he glances over. He holds up one finger—just a minute."Medical records if you can get them." He continues. "School transcripts, psychological evaluations, anything that explains why a twenty-five-year-old woman has never shown emotion in public." He listens. "Good, send it to Luna's secure server."He ends the call and crosses to the bed. "Morning.""Who was that?" I ask."Private investigator, a former FBI." He sits beside me. "If there's dirt on Celeste Whitmore, he'll find it.""You're really worried about this wedding.""Your father is marrying a woman with Council connections three months after hiring someone to destroy our bond?" He raises an eyebrow. "Yeah, I'm worried."I can't argue with that logic. "What time is it?""Almost no

    Ryder POVJolie falls asleep during the strategy meeting.One moment she's studying Luna's files on Celeste Whitmore, the next her head drops against my shoulder, breathing deep and even. I catch her laptop before it slides off her lap."She's exhausted." Doc keeps his voice low. "The empathy work with Morgan, even unintentional, drains her divine power. She needs rest.""The meeting's over." I stand carefully, lifting Jolie in my arms. She doesn't even stir. "We'll pick this up tomorrow."Luna closes her tablet. "Get her to bed, we have time before the wedding."I carried Jolie to our room, her light dimmed to barely a glow. She's so light in my arms, so delicate, and yet I've watched her bring down Council Elders and break professional manipulators. The contrast never stops surprising me.I settle her on the bed, pulling off her boots and covering her with blankets. She curls into the pillows, still deeply asleep.My wolf stirs restlessly. We almost lost her to the seeds Morgan plan
