I had just stepped out of the courthouse and made it three blocks before I noticed someone was tailing me. Kane’s warning rang in my ears: "Be careful heading home tonight. Change up your route." I glanced in my rearview mirror for the third time and spotted a black sedan lingering behind me. I couldn't tell if it was just my imagination or if I was genuinely in danger, but I wasn't about to take any chances.

I quickly turned right onto Fifth Street and then took a sharp left into a parking garage. The sedan didn’t follow me in, but that didn’t reassure me. If these people were involved with Marcus Blackthorn and his dangerous underground racing world, they weren't likely to be inexperienced.

Kane’s ominous words lingered in my mind, sending a wave of anxious energy through me. The way he had looked at me just before we parted—like a wild animal ready to show its true colours—left me feeling unsettled for reasons beyond just fear.

I needed answers. About Marcus Blackthorn, about the

  • The Lawless Biker Alpha and the Fearless Lawyer   The Fight Begins

    Kane’s POVThe transformation took me almost instantly, muscle memory from decades of practice making the shift from human to wolf nearly effortless. My bones reformed, muscles restructured, consciousness expanded to include enhanced senses that made the world simultaneously simpler and infinitely more complex.Calla hesitated beside me for just a fraction of a second—she’d only managed partial transformations so far, didn’t have the experience or training for full wolf form yet. Asking her to attempt it now, in the middle of combat, would be suicidal.“Stay human,” I said through the pack bond we shared, that supernatural connection that let transformed wolves communicate despite lacking human vocal cords. “Use your speed and intelligence like Luna taught you. Let me handle Marcus directly—you focus on surviving Goran.”Marcus was already shifting across the arena, his transformation smooth and practiced, refined over decades of regular use. Goran remained conspicuously human, which

  • The Lawless Biker Alpha and the Fearless Lawyer   The Arena of Ancestors

    Calla’s POVThe guardian beast charged at me with a speed that seemed impossible for such a giant creature. I barely had time to roll out of the way before its claws sliced through the spot where I had been standing. Chunks of stone flew up from the arena floor, and I could feel the rush of wind from its swing against my back.Kane, transformed into a powerful wolf, was already in the fight, moving quickly despite the beast's huge size. But something felt off about this encounter. The creature wasn’t just attacking randomly; it was thinking strategically, trying to split us apart and forcing Kane to choose between protecting me and fighting back effectively.“This is a test of teamwork!” I yelled over the creature’s growls, ducking under another swipe that nearly took my head off. “We need to work together, not alone!”Kane’s wolf growled in what sounded like agreement, and suddenly we were moving together flawlessly, as if we had been training for this moment for years instead of jus

  • The Lawless Biker Alpha and the Fearless Lawyer   Preparation and Fear

    Calla’s POVI woke up to Luna’s voice cutting through the early morning darkness. “Wake up, lovebirds! You've got three hours until dawn, and we need to practice some offensive combinations before you face whatever hell the Tribunal has planned.”Kane stirred beside me, his arm tightening around my waist protectively before reluctantly letting go. “What time is it?”“Three AM,” Luna said, tossing us each a water bottle as if she had done it a thousand times before. “Drink up and eat something light. Then we’re training until your muscles remember what I showed you yesterday because right now they're probably screaming that they never want to move again.”She was right. My entire body ached from the tough training we’d done the day before, and the bruises she had left were just starting to heal. I forced myself to sit up, gulping down water and trying to convince my sore muscles that more physical activity was what they needed.Jake then showed up with protein bars and what looked like

  • The Lawless Biker Alpha and the Fearless Lawyer   Passion Before The Storm

    Calla's POVThe room, softly lit by dim lanterns, felt like our own little world, a safe place away from the storm raging outside. Kane’s breathing was quick against my skin, his stubble brushing my cheek as he kissed me deeper, our tongues moving together in a slow rhythm that sent shivers down my spine.“Calla,” he whispered, pulling back just enough to rest his forehead against mine. His eyes were dark with emotion—love, concern, fierce protectiveness. “I need you. Right now. Just like this. Before…”I interrupted him with another kiss, my heart heavy with the unspoken words of ‘before it’s too late.’ We were both aware of the dangers tomorrow might bring and how it could pull us apart. But for tonight, we had each other. I tugged at his shirt, slipping my hands underneath to feel the warmth of his chest, his heartbeat steady and echoing my own racing pulse.He responded immediately, wrapping his arms around me and lifting me effortlessly as he carried me to the cozy bedding in the

  • The Lawless Biker Alpha and the Fearless Lawyer   The Dual Challenge

    Calla’s POVThe Elders gathered privately again—seemingly a regular occurrence whenever I said something that complicated their neat rules. Kane and I stood in the arena with Luna, Jake, and a growing group of supernatural spectators who were intrigued by the mess my situation had turned into.“You know you just made everything a lot more complicated,” Jake said, though his tone had a hint of approval. “Most defendants try to avoid conflict with the Tribunal. You’re basically changing the rules as we go.”“She’s not changing them,” Luna corrected. “She’s bringing to light laws that powerful men have been conveniently overlooking for centuries. There’s a big difference.”When the Elders finally returned, Elder Moira looked like she had just been in a heated debate. The Chief Elder’s expression indicated she had made some progress.“We’ve come to an agreement about how to implement Jus Eligendi,” the Chief Elder announced. “Tomorrow, you’ll face challenges that will test both your indiv

  • The Lawless Biker Alpha and the Fearless Lawyer   Calla’s Choice

    Calla’s POVThe room was buzzing with conversations about logistics when suddenly, a thought struck me. I recalled something from a previous discussion with Jake about ancient laws governing our packs. He had talked about female choice and traditions that came long before our current pack structures.“Hold on a second,” I interjected, my voice breaking through the ongoing deliberations. “I have a question about these ancient laws you keep referring to.”The Chief Elder turned to me with a look that said she wasn't thrilled about another interruption. “Miss Reyes, we’ve already made our decisions. The Champions’ Right has been called—”“Under the Right of Blood Duel,” I countered. “But that’s not actually the oldest law regarding disputes about bloodlines, is it?”The room fell silent. I noticed Elder Moira watching me, possibly with a hint of approval, as if I’d just uncovered something significant.“What are you getting at?” the Chief Elder asked, her tone cautious.“I’m pointing out
