last update publish date: 2026-01-30 03:00:00

Maddox’s POV

She’d been distant. Not obviously—Alina was good at pretending everything was fine. But I’d spent months learning to read her, and I knew when something was off.

It had been two weeks since the Vulture ambush. She’d thrown herself into work, into training, into everything except actually connecting with us on a deeper level.

The ceremony had been beautiful. The commitment real. But something was holding her back from being fully

    Lucian’s POVMy parents arrived on a Thursday afternoon in November, with a rental car and my mother’s particular energy of a woman who had prepared herself for something and was determined to handle it graciously.I’d told them — properly told them, not the carefully vague version from the phone call months ago. I’d sent an email, which felt clinical but gave them time to process before they arrived. I’d explained the situation honestly: Chloe, Marcus, the arrangement, what it looked like in practice. I’d answered my mother’s follow-up questions with the same directness I used at work, because I’d found that treating difficult conversations like clinical ones helped everyone get through them faster.My father had replied with three sentences: *That’s not what we expected. But you sound happier than you have in years. We’re coming to visit.*My mother had replied with eleven paragraphs, sev

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 198 – ADJUSTMENT

    Marcus’s POVA month after Dominic left, I threw out the schedule.Not dramatically. I didn’t make an announcement or call a meeting about it. I just looked at the shared calendar one morning — the color-coded blocks, the assigned days, the structure we’d built at the warehouse table with a notepad and good intentions and I archived it. Deleted my copy. Texted Lucian: *I think we’re done with the schedule.*He replied within minutes: *Agreed. Past due.*Chloe’s response came twenty minutes later, which meant she’d been thinking about it before she answered: *Thank God.*The schedule had made sense when there were four of us. It had been the only way to make sure everyone had defined time, defined space, something that felt equitable and organized. Without Dominic, it was a structure built for a house that had fewer rooms now, and trying to live in it felt like wearing a coat that was the wrong size.What replaced it was messier and more honest.Some nights all three of us were home. S

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 197 – ONLY THREE

    Chloe’s POVThe first week was horrible in the specific way of things that are supposed to hurt and do.I cried on Monday because Monday had been Dominic-adjacent in my week and now it wasn’t. I cried on Tuesday morning when I made my own coffee and the apartment was quiet in a new way. I cried on Thursday evening for no specific reason, or maybe every reason at once, it was hard to tell.Marcus went to the gym every day that week. Sometimes twice. He came home quieter than usual and ate dinner and didn’t push for conversation, which I understood was his version of grief — burning through it physically, keeping his hands and body busy so his mind couldn’t sit still long enough to feel the full weight.Lucian worked. He always worked, but this week he picked up extra shifts, and when he was home he read, and he was present but in a contained way, the way he sometimes went when something was processing itself in the deep background and he needed quiet around it.We were all grieving.

    I lowered my mouth to her neck, kissing a slow path down to her collarbone, then lower. Her skin was warm, tasted faintly of salt and the coconut lotion she always used. She gasped when I reached her breast, my tongue circling the sensitive peak before taking it gently into my mouth.Her back arched off the bed, a soft moan escaping her lips. Her hands tangled in my hair, not pulling, just holding, like she needed something to anchor herself."Don't stop," she whispered. "Please don't stop."I didn't. I moved from one breast to the other, giving each the same slow, worshipful attention. Her moans grew louder, more urgent, her hips starting to move beneath me, seeking friction.My hand slid down her stomach, over the soft curve of her hip, down to the waistband of her panties — tiny things, wine lace, the kind she knew drove me crazy. I hooked my fingers into the elastic and pulled them down, and she lifted her hips to help me, and then she was completely bare beneath me."Look at me,"

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 195 – GOODBYE? CHLOE

    Dominic’s POVThey’d moved into the old firehouse six weeks before I decided to leave.My idea, originally — the space was right, the location was good, and there was something that had felt right about all four of us choosing a place that wasn’t already anyone’s. Neutral ground that we made into something together. I’d been the one who’d called the landlord. I’d been the one who’d measured the studio space on the top floor and decided it was perfect.Now I was packing boxes in that same studio, and the light was still perfect, and I was doing my best not to think too hard about that.The last dinner was Chloe’s doing. She’d cooked, actually cooked, which she was better at than she gave herself credit for and she’d set the table with the good plates we’d found at the market two months ago, and she’d lit candles, and the whole thing looked like something from a life that was almost, almost the right shape.We sat down. The four of us. Last time.Marcus was quiet in the way he got when

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 194 – ELIJAH’S REACTION

    Lucian’s POVChloe called me at nine-thirty on a Tuesday night.I was still at the hospital — finishing notes, the kind of administrative tail-end of a shift that always took longer than it should. I saw her name and stepped into the hallway before answering.“Hey,” I said. “Everything okay?”A pause. The specific kind that meant no but she was deciding how to say it.“Dominic’s leaving,” she said.I stood in the hospital corridor with the fluorescent lights humming above me and the distant sound of monitors and carts and the constant low-level noise of a building that never fully stopped, and I waited for my reaction to arrive.The first thing I felt was relief.It came before I could stop it or dress it up — clean and immediate, like putting down something I’d been carrying at an awkward angle for months. The relief of knowing the hardest variable was resolving itself. The relief of not having to watch Dominic hold that pain anymore, and not having to watch it come out sideways, and

    Her answer was to take my hands and place them on the bottom of her sweater, guiding me as I lifted it over her head. The moonlight from the library window caught her skin, painting her in silver and shadow. She was beautiful, and for a moment, I just stared, my throat tight.“You’re shaking,” she
