Aliyah's POV

The message stabbed deeper than the rest. My thumb hovered over the screen, the edges of it slick in my grip. It had to be Cohen. Nobody else would write something like that — not unless they knew me, really knew me.

I deleted the message, watching the text vanish like that would erase it from my head. It didn’t. The words kept circling back, sharp and deliberate, digging into every quiet moment.

When I stepped out of the tent the next morning, the air felt too bright, the waves too loud. Asher was crouched by the fire pit, coaxing the embers back to life. His hair fell into his face as he worked, the muscles in his forearms flexing with each movement.

“Slept well?” he asked without looking up.

“Fine,” I said too quickly.

He glanced up, narrowing his eyes a little. “You sure?”

I brushed past him, muttering, “I said I’m fine,” and reached for the kettle. My hands shook just enough to rattle the lid.

He didn’t push, but I could feel him watching me as I poured water into th

  • The Biker Alpha's Secret Baby    Chapter 11

    Aliyah’s POVThe storm had passed, but inside me another storm raged—louder, fiercer, more destructive than anything outside that tent could ever conjure. I sat there, pretending everything was normal, pretending my heart wasn’t racing like it wanted to claw out of my chest. I smiled when Asher looked at me. I even forced a small laugh when he made some offhand remark about how we’d have to patch the tent later.But inside, I was shattering.Pregnant. With Asher Moretti’s child.The words throbbed in my head like a cruel drumbeat. How? How could this be happening to me? Out of all the people in the world… Why him?I swallowed hard, praying Asher couldn’t read me. He had this unnerving way of looking straight through me, like his eyes could peel away my layers until I was bare and exposed. I tried to keep my voice steady whenever I spoke, tried to appear relaxed, but I could see the slight narrowing of his eyes. He knew something was off. He always knew.When the skies finally cleared,

  • The Biker Alpha's Secret Baby    Chapter 9

    Aliyah's POVThe sun was already up when I crawled out of my tent, the air heavy with the smell of salt and damp sand. Asher was leaning against his bike, arms folded, watching the waves like he was weighing something in his head.“Morning,” I mumbled, pulling my jacket tighter.His gaze slid to me, that familiar half-smirk tugging at his mouth. “Thought we’d get you back on the bike today.”I frowned. “No.”“It’s not a race,” he said, pushing off the bike. “Just a little practice. Stretch your legs. Feel the wind.”I shook my head, but he stepped closer, his shadow crossing mine. “C’mon, you used to love this. Don’t let fear make your world smaller.”“It’s not fear,” I said, but even to my ears it sounded weak.His eyes softened, but his voice stayed steady. “Then prove it.”I hesitated, my stomach already uneasy. The thought of the engine’s roar under me brought back more than memories — it brought the pit in my gut, the flash of light, the way the air had been knocked out of me tha

  • The Biker Alpha's Secret Baby    Chapter 8

    Aliyah's POVThe ride back felt colder than the wind warranted. The salt air bit at my cheeks, but it wasn’t the kind of cold that came from the weather. I kept my arms around Asher’s waist, but only because I had to, not because I wanted to. My cheek rested against his back, and I could feel the steady rise and fall of his breathing beneath the worn leather of his jacket.The road hummed under the tires, a low, constant vibration that seemed to echo in my chest. Every bump made my stomach twist tighter. My mind kept looping back to Jax’s voice, the way my name had rolled out between him and Asher like a coin I hadn’t meant to drop.He didn’t say much at first, and neither did I. The engine roared between us, louder than usual, swallowing anything unspoken.Halfway down the narrow coastal road, he finally tried, raising his voice over the wind. “You’re awful quiet. Thinking about pie? I told you it was terrible.”I didn’t answer.After a beat, he added, “Or are you mad I didn’t order

  • The Biker Alpha's Secret Baby    Chapter 7

    The morning air was damp and cool, the kind that clung to my skin and made the inside of my nose tingle. I woke to the sound of metal clinking, followed by the low scrape of a wrench against something solid.When I unzipped the tent flap, Asher was crouched beside his bike, sleeves shoved up, hands dark with grease. The sun hadn’t fully broken through the clouds yet, but a soft pale light pooled over him, catching on the line of his jaw.“Morning,” he said without looking up.“Morning,” I murmured, stepping out barefoot. The sand was cold under my toes.I tried to focus on the horizon, to act normal, but a dull cramp tightened low in my stomach. My fingers pressed there automatically. Not sharp enough to double me over, but enough to remind me of the strip hidden in my bag.Asher tightened a bolt and sat back on his heels, wiping his hands on a rag. “The chain was loose,” he said. “Could’ve been bad on the road.”I nodded like I understood, though my head was full of anything but bike

  • The Biker Alpha's Secret Baby    Chapter 6

    Aliyah's POVThe world had narrowed to the thin strip in my hand. Two lines. Dark. Certain. The wet sand clung to my knees, the cold soaking through the thin fabric of my pants, but I barely felt it. The ocean roared somewhere beyond me, steady and merciless, like it knew something I didn’t want to admit.I stared until the lines blurred. My fingers trembled. I couldn’t breathe properly—the air felt thick, useless.A shadow moved over me.“Aliyah?”I jerked my head up. Asher was standing a few feet away, his brows knit in confusion. The drizzle had turned into a fine mist, coating his jacket in a faint sheen. His eyes searched my face. “What’s wrong?”I quickly shoved the strip into my pocket before he could see it. The plastic felt like it burned against my thigh. “Nothing,” I said too fast. “Just… dizzy for a second.”His gaze lingered on me, skeptical. “You’re pale.”“I said I’m fine.” My voice came out sharper than I meant, so I softened it. “Really. Just tired.”Inside, panic cla
