Ronan's POV

I counted down the seconds till they'd returned to whatever they were doing before we walked in here, and believe me when I said the time couldn't race fast enough. Callie's gaze lingered on Vivienne, almost as if she was trying to intimidate her into backing out of the deal they already agreed to.

I wasn't sure it was working, but I just knew Vivienne could take a break from all that had just happened right now.

One by one, they all went back to their businesses, and the moment

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 118

    Vivienne's POV The second Maverick said “We may already be too late,” the entire atmosphere changed.Ronan went still beside me, but not in shock or panic. This was worse. He became focused, that terrifying kind of focus that meant decisions were already being made in his head faster than anyone else could keep up with.“What happened?” he asked immediately.“It's not good news.” Maverick glanced toward me briefly before lowering his voice further, almost as if he was asking for permission before he spoke. “A shipment disappeared an hour ago.”“What shipment?” My stomach tightened as Ronan asked.“We don’t know yet.” Maverick scrubbed a hand down his face roughly. “But calls started coming in right after those papers surfaced.”“From who?”“Everyone.”A wave of silence followed next, and from how it echoed, it was all shades of heavy, wrong and dangerous. Then Maverick added quietly. “They think we sanctioned it.”Ice flooded my veins instantly while Ronan’s expression hardened

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 117

    Vivienne's POV The silence Ronan left behind felt worse than the argument itself.I stared at the closed door long after he walked out, my chest tight enough to hurt. Every word he’d said kept replaying in my head over and over again, sharper each time.I don’t know who you are right now.That one refused to leave me alone.I pressed the heels of my palms against my eyes hard enough to hurt, but it didn’t stop the tears burning behind them.God, everything felt ruined. Not broken, but fucking ruined, and I had no one else to blame but myself. The room suddenly felt too small to breathe in. The walls pressed inward, heavy and suffocating, and the longer I stayed in that bed, the more trapped I felt.I needed air, even if it hurt, even if I probably shouldn’t have been moving yet.I pushed the blanket aside slowly, wincing immediately as pain ripped through my side. The stitches pulled sharply, forcing a shaky breath out of me, but I ignored it.I deserved worse than pain right now

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 116

    Vivienne's POV “What do you mean, war?” The question left me before I could stop it.Maverick looked uncomfortable immediately, and somehow that made everything worse.“I'm listening.” Ronan didn’t take his eyes off him. “Explain.”Maverick exhaled slowly before stepping further into the room. He held a folded stack of papers in one hand now, worn from being opened too many times already.“There were names inside,” he said carefully. “Locations, shipment schedules, literally everything you can think of.”“I don’t understand,” A cold feeling spread slowly through my stomach as I whispered.“You weren’t supposed to,” Ronan muttered. The words weren’t loud, but they landed hard anyway.Maverick on the other hand, continued carefully, like he was choosing what to say in front of me.“There were forged signatures too,” he said. “Markings tied to us.”“What?” Ronan went completely still beside the bed. “What kind of markings?”“The kind that makes it look like we authorized something we

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 115

    Vivienne's POV Pain woke me before consciousness fully did. A sharp, burning ache tore through my side every time I breathed, dragging me upward slowly and unwillingly. For a few seconds, I didn’t know where I was and everything felt heavy, blurred around the edges and muffled like I was underwater.Then memory slammed into me all at once. I recalled Brick, the gun grazing my side, Ronan and the package.My eyes snapped open and panic hit so fast it nearly made me choke..I jerked upright instinctively, only for pain to explode through my side hard enough to rip a cry from my throat.“Easy.” The voice came immediately from a corner in the room. It was low, controlled and dangerously calm, but worse? I recognized its owner immediately.My head whipped toward the direction of the room, and Ronan stood near the door, one hand still resting against the handle like he’d just walked back in. For one horrible second, I couldn’t process what I was seeing.There was blood on him and not a l

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 114

    Ronan's POV I hadn’t stopped walking since I carried her out of that place. Not once, and honestly, I wasn't even dreaming of it My boots slammed against the pavement hard enough to jar up my spine, but it still didn’t feel fast enough, nothing felt fast enough. I hated to admit it, but it felt like I was running out of time faster than I would like. If anything were to happen to Vivienne….No. I pushed the thoughts aside immediately. I didn't need things like that crowding my mind right now. Vivienne lay against my chest, limp and trembling, blood soaking through both her clothes and mine while every second stretched into something unbearable.“Where the fuck is the car?” I roared.The sound ripped through the night so violently that three of my men nearly tripped over themselves scrambling forward.“It’s coming!” someone shouted back.“Then make it move faster!” I yelled into the night, while my grip tightened around Vivienne instinctively as another weak sound slipped from her

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 113

    Ronan's POV The gunshot cracked through the room, and for one split second, nobody moved. It seemed like the world had come to a painful stop, and nothing actually mattered, until Vivienne gasped that is. The sound ripped through me harder than the bullet itself.Her body jerked violently, fingers flying to her side as blood bloomed between them, and suddenly the entire room narrowed into one brutal, unbearable point.Her.Everything else disappeared. The noise, the men, Brick and even the music. None of it mattered to me anymore. Vivienne stumbled, her knees buckling beneath her, and something inside me snapped so hard I felt it in my teeth.I moved before she hit the ground.I caught her against my chest just as her legs gave out completely, her body trembling in my arms as a weak cry slipped past her lips.“Vivienne.” Her name tore out of me rough and sharp.Blood soaked through my fingers almost immediately when I pressed my hand against her side. The sound wasn't deep nor w

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 91

    Vivienne's POV I didn’t tell anyone I was leaving, and whether or not I was going to regret it, we were just going to have to find out later. I wouldn't exactly say I was the queen of impulsive decisions, but right now, I didn't care. I just slipped away while the noise was still high and t

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 90

    Vivienne's POV By the time I was standing beside the bike, I already knew my body was betraying me. A small part of me had thought that waiting the race out would do me some good, but apparently, I was wrong. I had hours, basically the whole day to get it out of my system and prepare my mind fo

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 89

    Vivienne's POV I found him before he found me, and I couldn't help to not comment on how that was rare these days.Ronan stood in the open space near the bikes, his shoulders squared, and voice low but commanding as he spoke to a small group of men clustered around him. He wasn’t loud, because

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 88

    Vivienne's POV It had been two days of breathing over my shoulder. Two long excruciating days that felt like time had crawled to a standstill somehow and no one had the fucking keys to unlock it. Or something like that. That was what it felt like, with Ronan everywhere and all the time. He was
