MY ALPHA BIKER MATE

CHAPTER TWO.Nova’s POVCassian had taken me in while his men worked on my car.Kept me in a room that I haven’t had the privilege of exploring. I had assignments to do. Things to take pictures of. Documentary to film.That was what brought me to the dessert.I held my camera tightly with my elbow and stepped out.The Crawl moon clubhouse doesn’t look like much from the road.From a distance, it could be any biker hangout you would rather not get caught dead in—a warehouse squatting on the edge of the desert, its windows blacked out, its parking lot filled by rows of bikes lined up beside each other. There’s a sign on the chain-link fence: No Trespassing. Underneath, in smaller red spray-paint: Seriously. Don’t.So naturally, here I am.The front door opens with a creak that feels like a warning than a faulty door. The smell hits me first—beer, smoke, leather, and different kinds of perfumes or none at all. The kind of smell that tells you no good thing has ever happened past this t

CHAPTER FOUR.Nova’s POVI should have ran when I had the chance.Cassian hasn’t said it, but I can feel it in the way he won’t meet my eyes, the way his jaw works like he’s chewing down on something. Every step he takes toward the clubhouse feels final. Heavy. Like he is dragging me into the kind of secret you don’t walk away from alive.My chest is still beating frantically with what I saw—the silver-eyed wolf, the impossible fight, the way my heart didn’t break in fear but split open in admiration. I keep replaying it, as if I can scrub it into logic. I can’t.He leads me through a door I didn’t notice before, it was too hidden even to be. Tucked in the back hall of the clubhouse, away from the noise, smoke and fights. The air feels strange..“Where are we going?” I try to be casual and fail.Cassian doesn’t answer. He just grips the handle of another door and pulls it open. A stone stairwell goes downward, lit by torches that shouldn’t exist in a world with electricity.Every par

CHAPTER 6Cassian's POVThere's something about her. And a part of me is more than scared to even figure it out.Her eyes glow in the dark, and I can't help but lick my lips, more than tempted to sink my teeth into her neck again.“You have to go home,” I say, and she wraps her arms around herself like she is cold. Like she is scared. She looks towards the direction of the memory erasing water again, and she takes a step away from it.I almost smirk at her, and tell her not to bother. I am not going to dip her head in there. For some reason, she doesn't want to forget me. I can't ignore the little tug in my chest at that revelation.“I don't have anywhere to go. And my car… you know what happened to it,” she says, and I give her a small nod.“You want to stay here?” I ask, and she nods, before looking up at me through her lashes.She is finally calm. The mate bond couldn't have calmed her, can it?“Come with me then,” I tell her, and I take her hand in mine as I lead her through the c

CHAPTER 8Cassian's POVMy head is hurting by mid-afternoon. I spent the whole morning asking different people if they know anything about the leak. It is nothing less than an interrogation. Just as expected, they don't know anything. Or so they claim.I can't help but wonder if the old alliances I have with other biker clubs is the reason behind it.Either way, Nova is under me now. She is somewhere I could easily watch her.More than anything, I am waiting for the council to arrive. Just as the thought crosses my mind, their chariot makes its way into the compound.Elder Xavier is the first to step out. He narrows his eyes at me, but he bows as expected.I can barely hold back my smirk. They can hate me all they want. I am still the Alpha.I lead them to the Council room, and they take their seats, while I take mine at the top of the room.“My omega said you wanted to see me,” I say, and they nod.Elder Finneas stands up. “Alpha, we've heard about the… human girl that you brought in

CHAPTER 10Cassian's POVI don't know what I am thinking, but I know that I have to move Nova from here. For countless reasons. The first one being that she needs to be safe.I don't know what I am going to do if anything happens to her. It is enough that she doesn't have any actual family. I’m not going to be the one going to hurt her, or allow anything to happen to her. The guilt is going to haunt me for the rest of my life.Another reason is that I want to keep her safe for myself. I almost lost control in that room, and I am sure that the next time it happens, I am going to lose control like hell. A part of me wants it to happen. And I can see it in her eyes too.A knock comes at the door, and I can't help but lean back on my chair, in the space that is known to members as my office.“Come in,” I call out, and two deltas along with Jason walk in.Jason has an eyebrow cocked. He knows that I have barely ever called him for meetings in recent times. I am not about to lose my mind ov
