last update آخر تحديث: 2026-01-03 23:07:30

RYLAN’S POV

I called church the morning after that day , my head pounding from the hangover but my mind was clear about what needed to happen.

The Vipers filed into the meeting room, taking their usual seats around the long table. Knox sat at my right hand as always, his expression neutral but his eyes watchful. He knew something was coming.

Then Ray entered, on his crutches, moving carefully to an empty chair near the end of the table.

I noticed the confused looks on their faces.. Kai leaned toward Ash, whispering something. Tiny’s expression darkened.

“Before anyone asks,” I said, my voice cutting through the noise, “Ray’s here because I invited him. What we discuss today concerns him.”

“Boss, no disrespect,” Tiny spoke up, “but church is for patched members only. He’s not…”

“I’m aware of what he is and isn’t.” I kept my tone even. “And I’m telling you he stays.”

Silence. Nobody argued with a direct order from the president.

I looked around the table, making eye contact with each ma

  • Forbidden Affair With The Biker I Can't Have    CHAPTER 71: STOLEN MOMENTS

    KNOX’S POVThe lodge was quiet when we arrived, most of the Vipers dispersing to gather weapons and equipment for tonight’s assault. I had maybe an hour before we had to leave…an hour to prepare, to arm up, to get my head in the right space for what was coming.But all I could think about was that Elara was upstairs.Right now. Close enough to touch for the first time in two weeks.Rylan was in his office with Tiny, going over last-minute logistics. Ray had gone with Ash to check perimeter security. The lodge was as empty as it was going to get.This was my chance. Maybe my only chance.I moved through the house like a ghost, silent and purposeful, every sense alert for anyone who might see me heading upstairs. But the hallway was empty, the doors closed.I stopped outside Elara’s room, my heart hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat.This was stupid. Reckless. If Rylan found out…I didn’t care.I knocked once, soft and quick, then opened the door and slipped inside before sh

  • Forbidden Affair With The Biker I Can't Have    CHAPTER 70: THE STRATEGY

    KNOX’S POVThe warehouse at the docks was chaos incarnate.Twenty Vipers surrounded a makeshift table…an old shipping crate with a map spread across, both old and new members…while Rylan stood at the head, his face grim in the dim lighting.I’d arrived ten minutes ago, still smelling like rain and road, and immediately been pulled into this emergency council.“Marcus is moving product tonight,” Rylan was saying, pointing to a marked location on the map. “Heavy shipment. Weapons, drugs, cash…everything. Tiny’s contact says it’s their biggest move in months.”“It’s a trap,” I said immediately. Everyone turned to look at me. “Has to be. The Skulls have been quiet for weeks. Now suddenly they’re moving everything at once? In our territory? They want us to hit them.”“Or they’re desperate,” Kai countered. “We’ve been cutting off their supply lines. Maybe this is a last-ditch effort to consolidate.”“Doesn’t matter if it’s a trap or desperation,” Tiny added. “If we let them move that much p

  • Forbidden Affair With The Biker I Can't Have    CHAPTER 69: DISTANCE

    ELARA’S POVRay was telling me a story about his recovery from the accident…something about physical therapy and a particularly sadistic therapist…and I was trying to pay attention. Really trying.But all I could think about was the fact that Rylan hadn’t spoken to me in two weeks.Two weeks of living in the same house, seeing each other at meals, passing in hallways, existing in the same space while maintaining perfect, absolute silence.I’d tried. The first few days, I’d approached him multiple times, tried to start conversations, demanded explanations for why he’d reassigned Knox.He’d ignored me. Walked away mid-sentence. Looked through me like I was invisible.It hurt more than I’d expected. Rylan and I fought…that was normal. We’d been fighting since we were kids, pushing each other’s buttons, driving each other crazy.But we’d never been distant like this. Never gone days without speaking. Never treated each other like strangers.I didn’t understand what I’d done wrong. I wish

  • Forbidden Affair With The Biker I Can't Have    CHAPTER 68: BREAKING

    KNOX’S POVTwo weeks.Fourteen days of patrolling empty territories, checking warehouse after warehouse for Skulls activity that didn’t exist, sleeping in shitty motels with stained sheets and broken heaters.Fourteen days without seeing her. Without touching her. Without hearing her voice except in my head, replaying conversations we’d had before everything went to shit.Fourteen days of going slowly insane.I sat in my truck outside another abandoned building, rain drumming against the windshield, and stared at nothing. The radio crackled with Kai’s voice giving coordinates for the next checkpoint, but I barely heard it.All I could think about was Elara.Was she safe? Was Ray doing his job properly? Was she thinking about me the way I couldn’t stop thinking about her?Did she hate me for not fighting harder? For accepting Rylan’s decision without arguing?My hands clenched on the steering wheel. I’d thought about running. About saying fuck it to the club, to the rules, to everythi

  • Forbidden Affair With The Biker I Can't Have    CHAPTER 67 : MOURNING AND RAGE

    CHLOE’S POVThe morgue was cold. This place had seen too many deaths. I wondered if it could ever be warm again.I stood in front of the viewing window, staring at what remained of my stepbrother.Jason.Or what used to be Jason.They’d found him in pieces. Literally. In a warehouse on the east side, dumped like garbage, his body broken beyond recognition in places. The medical examiner said he’d been tortured before he died. Extensively.I’d vomited when they first told me. I couldn’t help it. The image of Jason…my Jason…being hurt like that was too much.“Ms. Hartley?” The detective’s voice behind me. “We need to ask you some more questions.”I turned away from the window, my eyes burning with unshed tears. “I already told you everything I know.”“You said you suspected Elara Stark was involved in your brother’s disappearance.” Detective Morrison…no relation to Ray, apparently…flipped open his notebook. “Can you explain why?”“Because Jason went to LA to try to get her back. He call
