last update publish date: 2026-04-12 17:02:36

Lucian’s POV

I didn’t usually hang out at coffee shops near the hospital. Too many medical students trying to cram for exams, too many residents comparing horror stories from their shifts. I preferred my coffee at home, in silence, before the chaos of the ER.

But I’d been working double shifts all week, and my coffee maker had died that morning, so here I was at Java Junction at seven AM on a Tuesday, waiting in line behind what felt like half of Seattle.

That’s when I saw her.

    Chloe’s POVThe blue sedan appeared again on Thursday.I’d convinced myself I was being paranoid. Seattle was a big city. Lots of blue sedans. Just because I’d seen the same one near my apartment, near my office, near the coffee shop didn’t mean anything.Except now it was parked across from the grocery store, and I was pretty sure the driver was watching me.My heart hammered as I pushed my cart toward the entrance. Don’t look. Don’t react. Maybe it’s nothing.But my hands shook as I grabbed a basket instead of a cart. Easier to run with a basket if I needed to.Jesus, listen to yourself. You’re losing it.I moved through the store quickly, grabbing essentials. Milk, eggs, bread, coffee. My new tattoo itched under its bandage, a constant reminder of Dominic’s words: You survived.Yeah, well, survival felt a lot more precarious when someone might be following you.I c

    Lucian’s POVI didn’t usually hang out at coffee shops near the hospital. Too many medical students trying to cram for exams, too many residents comparing horror stories from their shifts. I preferred my coffee at home, in silence, before the chaos of the ER.But I’d been working double shifts all week, and my coffee maker had died that morning, so here I was at Java Junction at seven AM on a Tuesday, waiting in line behind what felt like half of Seattle.That’s when I saw her.Chloe Martinez, the mugging victim from a week ago, was standing by the window with a to-go cup in her hands. She wasn’t drinking it. Just staring out at the street, completely still except for the slight tremor in her fingers.I almost didn’t approach. She’d been discharged from observation with standard concussion protocol, follow-up recommended but not required. My job was done.But something about the way she stood there—tense, hyper-aware, like she was waiting for something bad to happen—made me change my

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 136 – COLLISION COURSE

    Dominic’s POVI couldn’t stop thinking about her.Three days since Chloe walked into my shop, and I’d sketched that damn bird at least twenty more times. Each version slightly different, trying to capture the exact look in her eyes when I’d told her she was still in a cage.Hurt. Angry. Terrified that I was right.I’d seen that look before, in the mirror, back when I was in the system. Foster kid bouncing between homes, trying to convince everyone I was fine when I was drowning.She’d walked out of my shop, and I’d told myself it was better this way. She wasn’t ready for the tattoo, wasn’t ready to face whatever she was running from.But I couldn’t stop seeing her face.Tuesday afternoon, I was working on a client’s sleeve when the bell chimed.“Be right there,” I called, not looking up.“Take your time.”I froze.That

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 135 – THE WATCHER

    Marcus’s POVThe first time I saw her, she didn’t see me.That was the point of my job—observe without being observed, protect without being noticed. Ghost in the machine. Shadow in the corner.I’d been hired by Adrian Winters three days ago. Tech CEO, running a startup that was about to go public, apparently pissed off the wrong investor. Death threats had escalated from emails to a brick through his office window.Standard protection detail: assess vulnerabilities, tighten security, identify threats.What I hadn’t expected was her.Chloe Martinez, according to the employee roster. Junior Marketing Associate. Twenty-two, originally from Chicago, moved to Seattle six months ago. Her file was thin—no criminal record, no red flags, nothing that should have caught my attention.But she did anyway.I was in Adrian’s office reviewing security camera footage when she appeared on screen, leaving the building late. Alone. Through a parking garage that was poorly lit and had exactly zero secur

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 134 – EMERGENCY

    Chloe’s POVThe universe had a terrible sense of humor.Two days after the tattoo shop disaster, I was working late again. Marketing campaigns didn’t write themselves, apparently, and Adrian needed the social media strategy completed by morning.By the time I finally saved the document and shut down my computer, the office was empty. The cleaning crew had already been through, leaving that antiseptic smell and perfectly aligned chairs.I grabbed my purse, locked up, and headed for the parking garage.Seattle at night was different than Chicago. Quieter, in some ways. The streets didn’t have that same constant hum of danger I’d gotten used to. I’d told myself that was better. Safer.Turned out safe was relative.I was halfway to my car when I heard footsteps behind me. Fast footsteps.My self-defense instincts—learned from watching Alina train with the Serpents kicked in. I spun around just as

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 133 – INK AND SCARS

    Chloe’s POVI woke up Saturday morning with a terrible idea.The smart thing would have been to go for a run, meal prep for the week, maybe deep clean my apartment. Responsible adult things.Instead, I found myself Googling “tattoo shops near me” at nine in the morning.I’d never gotten a tattoo. Never wanted one. My mom would have killed me, and besides, tattoos were permanent. Commitment. No taking them back if you changed your mind.But that morning, scrolling through photos of other people’s ink, I thought: Maybe that’s exactly what I need. Something permanent. Proof that I’m different now. That Chicago changed me.The search results showed dozens of shops, but one caught my eye: Ink & Iron. The photos showed dark walls, vintage furniture, and artwork that looked more like gallery pieces than flash sheets. The neighborhood was rough—South Seattle, definitely not the trendy area my cowor

    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
