Ronan’s POV

The safe house was suffocating.

For three days, I had been stuck in a cramped old brownstone in a neighborhood that smelled like old grease and unfulfilled dreams. The thin walls allowed me to hear Jaxon pacing restlessly above me, his footsteps matching the chaos in my mind.

Sitting at the kitchen table with my laptop open, I was trying to make sense of Hart’s threats. He was someone deeply entrenched in illegal activities, and he had a lot to lose if we exposed him. The idea of hi

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 169 – THE MORNING AFTER A SHARED NIGHT

    Dominic’s POVI woke up at six fifteen because I always woke up at six. Didn’t matter where I was or what had happened the night before. My body ran on a schedule that nobody had asked it to keep.The warehouse was quiet. Grey morning light came through the high windows in flat, even strips. I lay on the couch for a moment, staring at the ceiling, piecing together the previous twelve hours. Hotel. Fire escape. Gunfire. Eggs. A two-hour negotiation that had somehow ended with four people agreeing to share a building and figure out the rest as they went.I sat up.The spare room door was closed. Marcus’s usual spot at the table was empty, his mug rinsed and turned upside down on the drying rack. I looked at the couch where Marcus had been sitting at midnight when I’d fallen asleep, and he wasn’t there either.I looked at the spare room door again.I was not going to be weird about this.I stood up, rolled m

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 168 – FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER

    Chloe’s POVThe warehouse at midnight felt different from the warehouse at noon.Quieter. The city outside had settled into its nighttime sounds…distant traffic, the occasional siren, wind pushing against the high windows. The industrial lights were off and Marcus had turned on a couple of standing lamps that made the space feel smaller and warmer than I expected.Dominic was asleep on the couch. He’d lasted until about eleven, and then he’d simply lain down mid-sentence, one arm over his eyes, and that had been the end of that. Lucian had taken the spare room—Marcus had one, barely used, mattress on a frame, nothing decorative, which was very on-brand.Marcus had set up a sleeping space for me in the back corner, separated from the main room by a makeshift divider of shelving units. Private enough to feel like mine. Close enough that I didn’t feel alone.I lay in the dark and listened to Dominic breathe from ac

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 167 – NEGOTIATION

    Marcus’s POVBy evening, the warehouse felt smaller.Not in a bad way. More like the way a space feels when it’s full of people instead of just stuff — the edges closer, the air warmer, the silence less empty. I’d lived alone for two years in this building, and I’d preferred it that way. Preferred knowing where everything was, preferred the quiet, preferred not having to account for anyone else’s presence.Now there were three other people using my kitchen and arguing about what to watch on the laptop, and I wasn’t bothered.That itself was worth thinking about.I pulled up the threat assessment around eight PM and spread it across the table. Chloe’s apartment was compromised. The hotel was obviously out. The rotation system — moving her between three locations had already failed once, and professionally speaking, it would fail again. Variable schedules only bought time. We needed something more

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 166 – THE SHIFT

    Lucian’s POVMorning came in through the warehouse’s high windows in long strips of pale light. By seven, I had eggs on the stove and coffee brewing and absolutely no idea where Marcus kept his spatula.“Second drawer,” Marcus said from across the room without looking up from his laptop.I found the spatula. “Thank you.”“I can feel you judging my kitchen.”“Your kitchen is extremely organized and slightly terrifying.” I cracked another egg. “I mean that as a compliment.”From the couch, Dominic’s voice: “Is there enough for everyone or just the people who weren’t up at three in the morning getting shot at?”“We were all up at three in the morning getting shot at,” I said. “There’s enough for everyone.”“Scrambled or not scrambled?” Dominic asked.“What do you want?”

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 165 – AFTERMATH

    Chloe’s POVThe warehouse smelled like sawdust and machine oil and, faintly, the coffee Marcus had made at some point earlier in the evening. He had a corner of it set up as a living space — a real couch, a proper kitchen area, a bathroom that was cleaner than I expected. The rest was tactical equipment and storage and the general impression that this was a place where a person lived when they were serious about not being found.I sat on the couch wrapped in a blanket someone had pushed into my hands, and I stared at the wall, and I waited for the shaking to stop.It didn’t stop.All three of them were doing things. Marcus was on his phone, quiet and clipped, reporting in to someone. Lucian was cleaning the cut on my arm with careful, precise movements, his brow furrowed slightly. Dominic had made tea, chamomile, from Marcus’s cabinet and set it on the table in front of me like he’d done it a thousand times before.&ld

  • Claimed By The Biker Kings: Their Forbidden Queen   CHAPTER 164 – ATTACK

    Marcus’s POVThe alert came at 2:47 AM.I was already awake — I was always already awake, sitting in my truck across from the hotel with cold coffee and my laptop open, running a passive scan on the building’s entry points. Not because I expected something. Just because not watching felt wrong.The motion sensor I’d clipped to the hotel’s side entrance pinged first. Then the lobby camera feed I’d tapped through a contact at the security company showed two men walking in. Unhurried. Heads down. Dressed like they belonged.They didn’t belong.I knew it the way you know things after years of reading people in places where being wrong gets people killed. The way they moved — measured, deliberate, checking angles without looking like they were checking angles. One of them had his right hand loose at his side, just slightly away from his body. Ready.I was already out of the truck.I hit the g
