Semua Bab THE REJECTED LUNA’S SECOND CHANCE WITH THE BIKER ALPHA: Bab 141 - Bab 147

Bella’s POVShe looked smaller than I remembered.They’d laid her on a cot in the back room, Ronan hovering close, Frey standing guard at the door, Gordon already moving to check her vitals the second he’d finished with Draven’s wound. Her robes were torn, one sleeve soaked through with blood that wasn’t fresh, and her face carried the particular hollowness of someone who’d been surviving on will alone for longer than any body should have to.The room was really crowded. It felt tiny. There were many people and too much fear. I just stood there in the doorway for a moment I could not move. Then my legs started working and I walked forward.Gordon said "She is alive" as he checked her pulse. He sounded relieved. He was trying not to get our hopes up. "She is weak and dehydrated. What they did to her was not quick. It was not nice."Ronan was still breathing hard. He looked like he had been running. "We found her in the passage " he said. "She was chained up and all alone. The people wh

Bella’s POV“Clear the grid.”The order came from the officials’ box, sharp and clipped, and I watched circuit guards move fast toward the starting line, hands hovering near weapons none of them had needed until sixty seconds ago.My body still felt like it was someone it was really weird in ways I was still trying to figure out. My muscles hurt in places that had never hurt before and I was still feeling the excitement from before it was not going away.Draven got to me before anyone else did.He ran to me not paying attention to the guards or the people talking he just looked at me at the four- animal I had become in front of all those people. When he got to me he did not stop he just went down on one knee in front of me close that I could feel how tense he was."You are okay " he said, so only I could hear him even though a lot of people were still looking at us. "No matter what they are planning you did this your way. Remember this."I could not talk to him not like this not as a

Bella’s POV “Split up. Cover the exits.”Draven’s voice carried the particular authority that made circuit guards actually listen despite the chaos still rippling through the crowd, and within minutes we had people moving through every gate, every corridor beneath the stands, searching for a man who’d apparently decided winning his own tournament mattered less than disappearing the moment it ended.I stayed close to Draven my legs still wobbly from the shift my body carrying the specific tiredness of someone who had used muscles for the first time that morning which most people never thought about. Every step felt heavier than it should have like my body was still trying to figure out the shape I had chosen to come to."Why would he run " I asked. "He won. Publicly. In front of everyone. That should have been what he wanted.""Unless winning was never actually the point." Dravens eyes watched the crowd, looking. "Whoever is really in charge might have needed him for one reason making

Bella’s POVThe radio went dead before Thor could say anything else, static swallowing his voice whole, and I sat frozen for one full second, staring at the man beside me who wore Gordon’s face like it belonged to him.My mind went back to everything he said since we left the hallway. I thought about all the things that seemed normal and safe. I was trying to find the moment when he was not himself anymore. I just did not notice.Then his hands changed. They changed fast. The fingers on the steering wheel got longer. The skin looked different. The whole thing that looked like Gordon was. I saw someone I did not know. It was a woman with features and cold eyes."You should have looked at my hands closer " she said. Her voice was not like Gordons voice all. It was smooth and calm even though everything was crazy. "Faces are easy to fake. Hands are what give people away if you know what to look for " she said.I tried to open the door. She was too fast. She let go of the wheel with one h
