I woke up to the sound of loud arguing coming from downstairs, and it didn’t sound like anyone was happy.

After the strange creature I saw last night—which I was still trying to convince myself was just a trick of my mind caused by stress—my sleep had been restless. Now, as the bright morning light flooded the room, it revealed a world cleansed by the storm, but the atmosphere in the cabin felt tense and heavy.

“—I don’t care what Kane says, she’s trouble—”

“—we get hit the day she arrives—”

“—that’s no coincidence—”

I quietly made my way to the top of the stairs, wearing Kane’s oversized flannel shirt that hung loosely around my legs. Through the railings, I could see members of the Iron Fang group gathered in the main room, their posture aggressive and protective.

Jake stood by the fireplace, arms crossed, looking frustrated. “I understand why you’re suspicious, but accusing her without any evidence—”

“What more evidence do you need?” interrupted a stocky man with graying hair, his

  • 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

  • The Lawless Biker Alpha and the Fearless Lawyer   The Ancient Law

    Calla’s POV The tension in the room after Marcus’s challenge was thick, like everyone was holding their breath before a storm. Every supernatural being present understood the significance of "Jus Sanguinis Duellum," and from their looks, it was clear no one thought it was a good thing.Kane stepped forward from where the witnesses stood, moving with a predator's grace even though his anger was palpable due to our mate bond. “Are you really going to do this? Hiding behind ancient rules because your wrongdoings were brought to light?”“I’m claiming my rightful position based on traditions that have existed longer than your pack,” Marcus replied smoothly, regaining his confidence. “Elena Reyes was promised to my brother Diego through official agreements made long ago between our packs. That promise ties to her family, specifically to Calla.”“Promises made about me without my permission,” I interrupted. “Agreements I never consented to, involving people who decided my future before I ev

  • The Lawless Biker Alpha and the Fearless Lawyer   A Crack in the Wall

    Calla’s POVThe room fell silent for a brief moment after I revealed that Marcus had denounced my mother, but soon it was filled with a chaotic uproar. The supernatural observers, who had been quietly watching, suddenly burst into a noise of questions and accusations that blended into a loud, confusing roar.“Order!” the Chief Elder shouted, her amplified voice making the stone walls vibrate. “We will have order in these chamber!”Gradually, the noise quieted down, but the tension still hung thick in the air. Every pair of eyes in the room was fixed on Marcus, whose once calm and authoritative demeanor was now showing signs of cracking.“Miss Reyes,” one of the judges—a woman with auburn hair whose name I still didn’t know—said to me, “are you claiming that Marcus Blackthorn was behind your mother’s murder, using legal loopholes?”“I’m saying he issued a formal denouncement that allowed any werewolf to kill my mother without facing any consequences,” I replied. “Whether he did it hims

  • The Lawless Biker Alpha and the Fearless Lawyer   A Mother’s Testimony

    Calla’s POVThe Elders returned after twenty minutes of talking privately. Two more had decided not to be part of the judgment—one male Elder with dark hair and one female with striking violet eyes. Now only four Elders were left to judge me: the Chief Elder, an auburn-haired woman, a silver-haired man who had previously helped expose Harlow, and an older man with a long white beard who hadn’t spoken yet.With two fewer judges, I felt a little more hopeful. "We have looked over the evidence you provided," the Chief Elder said, her voice calm and even. "The Elders who stepped down did so to keep these proceedings fair. However, Miss Reyes—this Tribunal will not accept any more interruptions. Present your remaining evidence or accept judgment based on what has already been discussed."This was it. The moment I had both feared and anticipated."I want to show you something that directly contradicts Marcus's claim that my mother willingly got involved with pack matters and then betrayed

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

    Calla’s POV The Chief Elder signaled for me to begin, and instantly, every person in that large room focused their attention on me. It felt overwhelming, like a heavy weight pressing down on me, much like being deep underwater. I took a deep breath to calm myself, just like I did before important presentations at work, even though those situations didn’t carry the risk of my life if I messed up my words. “Before I talk about the charges against me,” I stated clearly, letting my voice echo in the room, “I want to shed some light on who is making these claims and their motivations.” Marcus looked annoyed at my words. “The Tribunal doesn’t need explanations—” “The Tribunal will decide what it needs,” interrupted the Chief Elder smoothly. “Please, continue, Miss Reyes.” I carefully pulled out the folder containing our crucial evidence, treating it as if it was a powerful weapon. “Marcus Blackthorn has portrayed himself as a protector of the rules of our community, claiming he wan
