last update publish date: 2026-02-17 07:11:21

Elara’s POV

“Elara Volkov, surrender yourself immediately.”The voice from the loudspeaker echoed across the compound like a verdict already decided.

My body went still because the name struck deeper than the threat, Volkov.

A surname I did not remember claiming, yet one that felt buried somewhere inside me like a locked door beginning to open.

Ruin stepped in front of me instinctively.“You stay inside,” he said.

“What is happening?” I asked.

“The Bratva council,” he replied. “Ivan does not move

  • Ride Or Ruin The Biker Who Owned My Soul   Chapter 173: Physical Recovery

    Elara’s POVThe alarm turned out to be a false perimeter trigger. One of the newer guards accidentally activated the emergency system while checking the motion sensors on the east fence during the storm. By the time Ruin and Axel confirmed there was no active threat, the entire estate had already awakened, and nobody complained. That surprised me more than it should have.Months ago, tension like this would have spread frustration through the entire club. Fear made people short-tempered and reactive back then, but now most of the members simply reset the system, exchanged tired jokes, and returned to work or sleep without emotional fallout. Even after the adrenaline faded, I stayed awake beside the nursery window watching rain slide slowly down the glass.Ruin eventually returned upstairs sometime after two in the morning looking exhausted.“Everything is clear,” he said quietly.“I figured", I replied.He loosened his shirt collar while walking toward me. “You should have gone back t

  • Ride Or Ruin The Biker Who Owned My Soul   Chapter 172: Night Conversations

    Elara’s POVThe dark SUV belonged to Marcus. The moment the vehicle stopped near the courtyard, I recognised both the driver's urgency and the way he climbed out before the engine fully died.Ruin stood immediately from the porch beside me while several guards approached the vehicle cautiously out of instinct.Marcus lifted both hands. “It is fine,” he called out. “Nobody followed me.”That did not ease the tension completely, not until Axel appeared from the garage moments later and confirmed the vehicle registration himself.“What happened?” 'Ruin?' asked Marcus as he approached.Marcus looked exhausted, not injured, just worn thin, emotionally.“I got a contact from one of the old Volkov associates,” he said carefully. “I thought you should hear it directly.”The atmosphere shifted instantly.Ruin nodded once toward the clubhouse. “Inside.”The conversation that followed lasted nearly an hour. Marcus explained that rumours had started moving quietly through the old Bratva-connected

  • Ride Or Ruin The Biker Who Owned My Soul   Chapter 171: Domestic Ease

    Elara’s POVThe photograph stayed in my mind long after Axel left the room, even after Ruin locked the nursery door. We checked the security monitors one final time before we tried to sleep, but we were unsuccessful. The words unsettled me more than the threats themselves, not because I understood what they meant, but because I did not.Ruin barely slept that night. I felt it every time he shifted beside me or got up quietly to check messages from the overnight patrol teams downstairs.By morning, exhaustion sat heavily across the entire house. Still, something surprised me when I came downstairs carrying Aurelia into the kitchen shortly after sunrise; normal life continued.Dean argued with Luis about coffee again. Sofia stood near the counter sorting groceries while music played softly from somebody’s phone speaker across the room.The atmosphere felt careful, but not consumed by fear. The club had learned how to carry tension without letting it poison every moment; that realisation

  • Ride Or Ruin The Biker Who Owned My Soul   Chapter 170: Elara Sees the Difference

    Elara’s POVThe photograph passed silently from hand to hand around the table; nobody rushed to speak first, which alone felt different from the past.I stood beside Ruin while Axel studied the image again beneath the overhead lights. The old house looked abandoned from the outside. Weathered wood covered most of the structure, and several windows appeared broken or boarded up, but the upstairs window remained clear enough to show a figure standing behind the glass, watching.Even though the picture had a grainy quality, something about it deeply unsettled me; it wasn't because I recognised the person, but because the photographer intended to emotionally destabilise Ruin. This was not random intimidation anymore; it was personal history turned into a weapon.Dean leaned forward against the table. “When was the photo taken?”“Recently,” Axel replied. “The timestamp printed on the back says yesterday evening.”Luis frowned. “So somebody went to the property directly.”Ruin stayed very s

  • Ride Or Ruin The Biker Who Owned My Soul   Chapter 169: System Holds

    Elara’s POVThe sound of approaching motorcycles cut through the estate like a warning siren – not one engine, at least six or maybe more. The noise grew louder fast enough that everyone in the courtyard reacted immediately. Guards moved toward assigned positions without shouting over one another while lights along the outer perimeter brightened automatically across the property.What struck me first was not the tension; it was the order. Nobody ran blindly or panicked. The structure Axel and Ruin had spent months building moved into place naturally under pressure.Carter straightened beside me immediately. “I need to get to the south rotation point.”He did not wait for permission after saying it. He simply moved. I watched him disappear across the courtyard before turning toward the front gate, where Ruin and Axel were already coordinating security positions.“Visual confirmation yet?” Axel asked on the radio.“Negative,” a guard answered through static. “Still approaching from the

  • Ride Or Ruin The Biker Who Owned My Soul   Chapter 168: Accountability Without Fear

    Elara’s POVThe black vehicle stayed motionless outside the gate for nearly thirty seconds; nobody inside the courtyard moved casually anymore. Guards shifted positions immediately while several members emerged from the clubhouse behind us after spotting the headlights through the windows.The atmosphere tightened fast but not chaotically; it was prepared and controlled. Ruin handed the security folder back to Axel before stepping toward the gate slowly.“You are not walking out there alone,” Axel said immediately.“I was not planning to.” He replied.That answer eased something inside me; the old Ruin would have approached danger by himself without hesitation. The man standing beside me now still carried that instinct, but he no longer treated recklessness like strength.Dean and Luis joined the courtyard within seconds, both visibly alert.“You think it is him?” Dean asked quietly.“I think somebody wants our attention,” Ruin replied.The headlights remained on, bright against the d

    Elara’s POVSleep came slowly that night, like a cautious visitor unsure it was welcome.My body felt exhausted from the day’s chaos, from the shooting lesson, from Ivan’s intrusion into the compound, and from the woman who had appeared in Ruin’s office speaking my name as if she knew me. My mind r
