Liora’s Point of view

The next morning felt different. Not because of the sunrise, though it did spill a soft gold across my window, but because for once, I woke up without dread curling in my chest. The silence of the room was not suffocating, and the air did not carry the bite of fear. It was calm.

I stretched carefully, half expecting a knock at my door, a voice barking orders, or footsteps reminding me I was not allowed to be still.

But none came. Instead, when I opened the door, two young maids were already waiting in the hallway, bowing their heads politely.

“Good morning, Lady Liora,” one of them greeted, her tone warm.

Lady. The word startled me. I was not used to being called anything but maid, girl, or burden.

Before I could protest, the other maid stepped forward.

“Alpha Jacob asked us to tend to your needs today. We will prepare your bath and bring you breakfast in your chambers.”

My instinct was to wave them off. “No, please, you do not have to do that. I can manage mysel

  • His to Break: The Biker Alpha's Hated Mate   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FORTY FOUR

    Her mouth opened, then closed again, but the fire in her expression faltered beneath his stare. The room’s air thickened; even my breathing felt wrong to disturb it. Draven’s authority didn’t need to be shouted, it lived in every measured syllable, every quiet exhale that dared no interruption.He walked closer, his steps deliberate, the weight of his dominance pressing down like a storm about to break. “You’re forgetting something, Celeste,” he said, his voice low, laced with iron. “You may be the mother of my child, but that doesn’t give you the right to insult her.”Her painted smile cracked. “Draven, I’m only telling the truth,” she said bitterly, crossing her arms. “You’ve been blinded again. You think she deserves to walk in here and take everything we built? After all she’s done? After all—”“Don’t.” His voice sliced through hers, calm but cutting. “Don’t rewrite what never belonged to you.”She blinked, confusion and anger flashing in her eyes. “What are you saying?”Draven’s

  • His to Break: The Biker Alpha's Hated Mate   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FORTY THREE

    The moment we stepped inside the packhouse, my heart felt like it was being pulled in a thousand directions. The scent, the sound of footsteps, the hum of voices—it all came rushing back, so achingly familiar it made my throat tighten. My son stirred against my shoulder, mumbling sleepily, and I tightened my arms around him as if the motion alone could ground me.Draven walked slightly ahead, silent, his presence enough to part the air around us. Every wolf we passed lowered their heads in respect, but I could feel their curiosity brushing against me like whispers in the dark. They remembered me. The Alpha’s old ghost. The one who had vanished and now returned with a child who bore his eyes.And then I saw her, Luna.She was standing by the grand hall, her soft brown hair pinned loosely, her apron dusted with flour like she’d been baking again, just as I remembered. When her eyes landed on me, they widened, shimmering with disbelief.“Liora?” Her voice cracked. She pressed a trembling

    Alpha Draven stood outside the gate, his tall figure cloaked in black. His presence was still the same, commanding, dark, magnetic. He was watching me with eyes that burned like amber in the morning light, and in that gaze was something I hadn’t seen before, something raw, fragile, almost human.For a moment, my throat locked, my words trapped beneath all the years of pain and misunderstanding. My little boy stirred in my arms, his small hand reaching up to tug at my hair. That tiny touch gave me the strength I needed.“Alpha Draven,” I called softly, stepping forward, my voice trembling though I tried to hide it. “Please… I need to stay here.”He didn’t move at first. His eyes swept from my face to the child in my arms, then back again. The way his expression softened almost broke me. I knew he already recognized the boy—the resemblance was undeniable. The same dark hair, the same piercing eyes. Our child. His son.I swallowed hard. “I know you have every reason to send me away,” I w

  • His to Break: The Biker Alpha's Hated Mate   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FORTY ONE

    ALPHA DRAVEN'S POVThe night reeked of blood and smoke. My wolf thrashed beneath my skin, demanding release, demanding vengeance. I could taste iron on my tongue and feel the tremor of the earth beneath the pounding of paws and boots. The rogues’ territory sprawled ahead, a decaying wasteland of broken warehouses and ash, but to me, it was a battleground. Somewhere in that hellhole, they had my daughter. Arden. My blood. My life.“Move!” I barked through the link, my voice slicing through the pack bond like a whip. My men surged forward, shadows among shadows, their eyes burning in the moonlight. The wind howled through the trees as if it could sense the fury within us.Every muscle in my body burned for the kill. Every heartbeat reminded me of why I was here, not as the Alpha who ruled with an iron hand or as the ruthless leader feared across territories, but as a father. A desperate one.The rogues had crossed the line when they took Arden.The first one lunged from the side, reekin

    The city lights blurred through the cab window as we sped down the narrow streets. My baby slept soundly against my chest, her tiny fingers curled around the edge of my coat. The hum of the engine and the faint scent of gasoline mingled with the pounding of my heart. I didn’t dare look back. Every time I did, I saw Jacob’s shadow chasing us down the road—his voice echoing in my mind, ordering me to come back, promising I’d never escape him again.But I had escaped. At least for now.When the driver asked where I was going, I whispered Marga’s address. It was the only place I could think of. She was the one person I trusted, the only person who had heard my cries through the phone and didn’t turn away.The taxi turned into an old residential street lined with apartment buildings that looked like they’d been through years of rain and neglect. The flickering streetlight in front of her building cast a lonely, pale glow on the pavement. I paid the driver with shaking hands, then stepped o

  • His to Break: The Biker Alpha's Hated Mate   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED THIRTY NINE

    LIORA’S POVThe night air felt heavier than usual, pressing against the windows as if the storm hadn’t really gone, just lingered in the clouds above, waiting for me to break again. But I didn’t. I couldn’t. Not this time.After putting my baby back to sleep, I sat at the edge of the bed, the phone trembling in my hand. My cheek still ached from where Jacob had struck me, the faint red mark a cruel reminder of what love had turned into. My heart pounded as I stared at the screen, scrolling through my contacts until I found her name.Marga.For a moment, I hesitated. She had always been kind to me, quiet, gentle, the type who smiled to avoid conflict, but she was also loyal to the pack, loyal to him. Would she even believe me?I pressed call before I could lose my courage.The phone rang twice before her tired voice came through, soft and cautious. “Liora? Is everything alright? It’s late.”I tried to steady my breathing, my voice trembling despite my best efforts. “Marga, I… I needed
