Guarded by the outlaw Chapter 32
Dawn broke over the club like an unwelcome warning. Pale light slipped through the cracked windows of the garage, illuminating the dust motes that danced lazily above the blood-stained concrete. Ghost stood by the entrance, arms crossed, watching the empty streets. The city outside seemed indifferent, unaware of the chaos inside the Serpents’ walls. But inside, the air was heavy with suspicion, fear, and anger. Luca moved silently beside him, his expression unreadable. Every line of his body spoke caution, every glance betrayed calculation. He was wounded, bruised, and exhausted, but he carried himself like a predator stalking prey. Ghost could see it in him, the same relentless drive that had kept him alive all these years.“We can’t wait,” Luca said, voice low, almost a whisper, yet cutting through the quiet like a blade. “Viper’s already moving. Every minute we delay, more brothers die, and the club fractures further. He’s already got them questioning loyalty, pitting one brot

The club smelled of smoke, oil, and blood. Not literal blood this time but the weight of it pressed down on everyone, thick as the tension that rippled through the room. Ghost leaned against the bar, gripping a half-empty bottle, his eyes scanning the brothers with a precision that felt sharper than any blade. He noticed how they shifted under Viper’s gaze, how their laughter faltered mid-word, how even the youngest patches of Serpent tattoos seemed to curl tighter against their skin. The club wasn’t just uneasy, it was scared. And it was scared because Viper wanted it that way.Ghost’s hand tightened around the bottle, knuckles white. He could see the change in himself the anger, the impatience, the gnawing uncertainty gnawing at his gut. Luca had returned, alive against all odds, but now he was the mark, the scapegoat. And somehow, Viper had spun it so convincingly that even the brothers who’d once called Luca family were questioning him.Troy cleared his throat beside Ghost, he

The night was colder than usual. Fog rolled over the highway like a living thing, curling around the abandoned docks where the Serpents were preparing for the next strike. Ghost adjusted his gloves, checking weapons, scanning shadows for any hint of danger.Luca was beside him, silent, focused, but Ghost noticed the tension in his jaw, the slight narrowing of his eyes. He didn’t ask; he didn’t need to. They both knew instinct better than words.The initial approach went according to plan. Rhino and Switch took vantage points along the containers, while Ghost and Luca slipped into the shadows to intercept the convoy. But as they rounded the first corner, Ghost froze.The crates, they were empty. “Something’s wrong,” Ghost muttered, motioning for Luca to halt.Before Luca could respond, headlights pierced the fog, and the roar of engines echoed. Men in black tactical gear poured out from the mist, surrounding the Serpents’ position. It wasn’t the cartel, they were too organized, too s

The clubhouse felt heavier than usual. Dust hung in the air, mingling with the faint smell of gunpowder, sweat, and metal from the bikes parked in the garage. Ghost leaned against the edge of a workbench, sleeves rolled up, rubbing at a fresh graze along his forearm. Pain radiated in pulses, but it was manageable. Survival had taught him to endure worse.Luca was nearby, methodical as ever, cleaning his rifle and attending to minor scrapes along his ribs. Even exhausted, he moved with precision, and Ghost couldn’t stop watching him, the faint curve of his jaw, the way his hands flexed as he worked. There was a rhythm to Luca that had nothing to do with combat, a rhythm Ghost was quietly drawn to.“You should rest,” Ghost muttered, voice low, not wanting to break the fragile quiet.Luca shook his head, eyes sharp. “Can’t. Cartel will regroup. We need a plan for the next move.”Ghost’s jaw tightened. “You’re pushing yourself too hard. Again.”“And you’re worrying too much,” Luca repl

The forest road was deceptively quiet, the kind of silence that makes a man twitch. Ghost rode at the front, eyes scanning every shadow between the trees, every curve in the road. Behind him, Luca followed, tense, fingers brushing near his weapon as if ready for the slightest provocation.The first strike had been clean. The warehouse had been secured. But Ghost knew the cartel wouldn’t sit idle. They’d regroup, hit back with brutal precision and tonight, Ghost had a gut feeling they were being watched.“You feeling paranoid?” Luca asked softly, breaking the quiet.Ghost didn’t answer immediately. His jaw tightened, eyes forward. “Call it situational awareness,” he muttered finally.Luca smirked faintly, but his body remained taut, alert. “Situational awareness. Right.”Ghost allowed a brief glance at him. Even bruised and exhausted, Luca moved with calculated precision, the kind of efficiency that kept them alive in situations most men would crumble under. And yet… there was a te

The clubhouse smelled of sweat, motor oil, and burned gunpowder. Ghost leaned against the garage wall, shoulders stiff, muscles aching from the night’s strike. The warehouse operation had been a success, but it had left every man exhausted and raw. The adrenaline had faded, replaced by soreness,

The forest road smelled of wet pine and dust, the kind of scent that stuck to clothes and hair and made your throat dry even when the sky threatened rain. Ghost rode at the front, eyes scanning every shadow that moved between the trees. Luca followed closely, fingers twitching near his weapon, ale

The night was dense and still, the kind of darkness that pressed against the chest and made every sound sharper. Ghost stood at the edge of the canyon road, the first light of moon catching the jagged cliffs around them. Luca crouched beside him, gear strapped tight, eyes scanning the horizon. Th

Dawn had barely broken when Ghost climbed onto his cut, the engine growling beneath him. He glanced over at Luca, who was strapping on his own gear with meticulous care. The man had cleaned up since the quarry fight, but the bruises were still visible dark shadows beneath his eyes, angry red marks
