Vivienne's POV

The vest weighed heavier than I thought it would. While this might have sounded like a parable of some sort, it wasn't. I meant it literally.

A small groan slid past my lips as I shrugged the leather jacket onto my shoulders. I tried to balance it out, and after a couple of tries, I liked to think I'd gotten a hang of it. This was the first time I was wearing the Iron Vulture's black leather jacket and I didn't know what to think of it. It was huge and even though it felt weird

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 124

    Ronan's POV The heavy slam of the bedroom door upstairs echoed through my skull, but I didn't turn. I couldn't. I was still staring at the spot where Vivienne had stood, the space where the air still felt thin and bruised.Lana stood by the support beam, that smug, jagged grin still plastered across her face. Around us, the club was a graveyard of held breaths. I could feel every eye on me, waiting for the President to react, and waiting for the king to strike or bow.I shifted my weight, the leather of my jacket creaking in the silence. When I finally turned to look at Lana, my blood didn't boil, it froze."If you ever," I started, my voice dropping into a register so low it felt like a warning rumble from a dying engine, "speak to my wife like that again..."I took a slow, measured step toward her. The floorboards groaned under my boots as I stopped inches from her, watching the smirk falter. "...you’ll regret every breath you’ve drawn in this clubhouse.""I was just saying wha

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 123

    Vivienne's POV The drive back felt longer than it should have, maybe because neither of us spoke or maybe because there was nothing left to say.I sat quietly in the passenger seat, one hand resting carefully over the fresh bandage beneath my shirt while the other twisted nervously in my lap.Ronan drove with both hands on the wheel, his expression unreadable.The silence wasn't uncomfortable, it was fragile, like one wrong word would shatter everything we'd managed to rebuild over the last hour.Call me crazy or whatever, but I couldn't shake off the fact that the reason we were making this drive back to the clubhouse was all because of me. I wasn't sure of their plan when they'd left the clubhouse earlier, but I was sure they hadn't achieved it. Ronan didn't say anything, but I knew for a fact I'd heard him delegating the responsibility to someone else. A part of me felt relief at it though. Perhaps it meant he wanted to spend more time with me, on a turf I was familiar with, o

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 122

    Vivienne's POV Hours crawled by slowly enough to feel deliberate. At first, I counted the minutes, then I counted the footsteps outside the door.Eventually, I stopped counting altogether because every sound made my mind race somewhere darker.Voices drifted through the hallway in uneven bursts. Doors opened, doors slammed and someone hurried past, boots striking the floor in quick succession before fading away again.Every noise convinced me something had happened and every silence convinced me it was worse.I paced the room despite knowing I shouldn't.One lap first, then another and it didn't help that each step tugged painfully against the stitches in my side, but standing still felt impossible. Every time I tried, another horrible possibility forced me back into motion.What if Grant had done something else?What if Ronan had walked straight into another trap?What if...I squeezed my eyes shut.Stop. Just stop.I pressed both hands against my temples, trying to slow the thou

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 121

    Chapter 121Vivienne's POV The walk was worse than I expected and not because Ronan was rough. God, if that was the case then believe me that it would have been easier.It would have been easier if he had been angry enough to hurt me with his words, to yell, to tell me exactly how much of a disaster I was.Instead, he was careful, painfully and cruelly careful. His arm remained secure beneath my knees while the other supported my back, keeping me lifted against his chest as though I weighed nothing.Every time his footsteps hit an uneven patch of ground, his hold adjusted automatically.Every single time, like his body remembered how to protect me even when everything else between us had fallen apart, but he never looked at me.Not once and that hurt more than I was willing to admit.The ride had been hot and miserable, my stitches screamed every time I moved, and my body was exhausted enough that I should have been grateful to be in his arms.Instead, all I could think was that I

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 120

    Vivienne's POV This was officially the worst idea I had ever had and considering my recent life choices, that was saying something.The SUV bounced over another pothole and pain shot through my side so hard I nearly bit through my tongue.A muffled whimper escaped before I could stop it."God," I whispered through gritted teeth. Everything hurt, my side hurt, my back hurt, my neck hurt and even my pride hurt.The cramped space in the back of the vehicle had seemed manageable when I'd climbed inside, but now? Now it felt like a punishment specifically designed for me.A crate dug into my shoulder every time the SUV turned. A metal latch kept jabbing my knee, and the heat was becoming unbearable.Sweat stuck my shirt to my skin and my mouth felt dry enough to crack, but first of all, nobody had found me.At first, I'd been terrified of getting caught, now I was beginning to wonder if I was simply going to die back here from dehydration and stupidity.Another bump rattled the vehicle

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 119

    Vivienne's POV The clubhouse hadn’t been quiet once in the last two days.Not once.Even from inside the room, I could hear it constantly. I heard boots against floors, doors slamming and raised voices drifting through the walls at all hours of the night.If all those signs pointed to one thing and one thing only, it was the fact that tension lived here now.Heavy, restless, waiting, and somehow, I’d become the center of it.I sat carefully against the headboard, wincing as another dull ache spread through my side. The stitches still pulled every time I moved too fast, and standing for longer than a few minutes made dizziness creep in almost immediately.I hated it.I hated being stuck here while everyone else ran around trying to fix the mess I helped create.Another burst of voices echoed faintly downstairs and I actually flinched. “…shipment routes changed…”“…they’re watching us now…”“…move the trucks before nightfall…”I closed my eyes briefly.God.Every conversation soun

  • 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

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 87

    Ronan's POV She woke slowly. Not startled, not peaceful either, just aware, and I had no idea how I felt about that. Her lashes fluttered, her body shifting beneath the sheets, and the moment her eyes opened fully, they locked on me. I didn’t move. I hadn’t been moving for a while, and I just

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 86

    Ronan's POV I didn’t sleep, not for a second. And even if I could, I doubted I would have been able to successfully force my eyes shut without pushing them open in the next five minutes. If I pushed too hard, the minutes, then I would be wide awake again. You couldn't blame me, because anyone w

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 85

    Vivienne's POV The room I could swear was once safe no longer thrummed with that aura. Instead , it had been replaced with something else, something else in the form of Ronan that was just waiting to explode. Maybe any other person would be scared, but the thought of what was about to happen,
