Chapter 71

Niko walks me downstairs and out back toward a massive barn in the rear of the clubhouse. Apparently, this is their “church,” a spot reserved for serious club gatherings, and tonight, it’s for me and King.
My nerves are skittering, but I manage to keep it together. Niko’s solid grip on my arm keeps me grounded. I shoot him a quick, sideways grin, lowering my voice so only he can hear “Feels like you’re walking me down the aisle”

He smirks. “Trobably the closest you’re ever getting to a wedding
I don’t mind that at all. One wedding was more than enough for me.

Niko snickers. “More like all the women that st only ours to share now
A thrill shoots through me. Yes, yes it is
Across the room, King’s gaze meet mine, his expression a mix of pride and hunger. “Yeah, he’s g leaving me at King’s side as he takes his place with the others on the left side of the building.

tear you apart tonight, Niko whispers,
When King’s eyes rake over me, I can’t help but bask in his heated look. I checked myself out in the mirror before heading out, and i do look pretty hot. Being with these guys it suits me.
Gray clears his throat at the front of the room, gathering everyone’s attention. “Brothers,” he begins, letting out a hard sigh, like it pains him to force the words out. Tonight. King claims Alyssa as his of lady”
The building hills with hoots and hollers. Surprisingly, Gray waits patiently for all the noise to cease before continuing “Any words, King”
“Hell yeah. King turns to me, his eyes clashing with mine again, and he grabs my hand “Kitten, I’m not the best with words, but I’ve dreamed about this for a long damn time. Never thought it’d be real, but here we are. Now, I’m standing here, declaring my commitment to you. I spend the rest of my life making you happy, keeping you safe, treating you like the goddamn queen you are. You’re mine, baby, and I’m never lettin‘ you go.”
‘I love you.” I tell him, my voice shaking.
“I love you too, baby: he says, a rare boyish grin breaking through.
Gray hands him a leather vest—a club vest with their emblem stamped on the back and a small patch on the front that reads, “King’s Of Lady,” The right of it sends my heart racing, tears welling in my eyes. God. I didn’t even feel this emotional at my own wedding.
King slips the vest over my shoulders, his fingers lingering, his touch firm and possessive. “Next up, we’re getting my name called on you,” he whispers roughly in my car.
I roll my eyes but can’t hide my smile. “You first”
His smirk is a dare. “Bet.”
My heart stutters. Wait, is he serious? The idea of my name marked on his skin, alongside all his other tattoos, has heat pooling low in my belly. Bot before I can get to lost in that fanary, Gray slegs forward, raising a glas
“To King and Alyssa,” he announces, his deep voice echoing through the barn. “May your bond be as strong as the steel of our bikes and as endless as the open road!
Cheers erupt, and before I know it, the night morphs into a celebration of laughter, music, and the tang of smoke from the bonfire. Each member that congratulates us adds to the swelling sense of belonging I’ve never known before. I’m no longer just Gray’s spoiled little sister–I’m King’s ol‘ lady
I don’t drink, but I can’t help swaying to the music, caught in a conversation with Nina. “How ya feelin‘, honey?” she asks, sipping her drink.
“Happy” I admit, stealing a glance at King and Nik, both laughing with others. The fire from the pit dances in their eyes.
She chuckles. The love y’all have for each other is unreal. It’s like you’re their queen. I’ve never seen the boys so happy and braven knows they’ve

I hum a sound of agreement, feeling my chest tighten

She laughs softly, her eyes flickering to my brother. “Can’t wait to see how long y’all keep this from Gray. It seems he’s not very observant these days. Probably because of that stuck up bitch he calls a wife?
off his med
“She cut him off his meds, cold turkey,” I murmur.
“Believe me, we’ve noticed, Nina mutters. “He’s moody as hell well, more than usual. I know he shouldn’t be taking ‘em anymore, he’s been abusing ‘em since he was a teenager, but cold turkey–that’s dangerous”
1 sigh, a pit of worry sending in my stomach. “We need to watch him.”
“I’ll spread the word,” she promises.
Suddenly, strong, familiar arms wrap around me from behind. “I missed you,” he whispers in my ear. “I want you in my lap, right in front of your brother.
I twist around in his embrace, smirking.”
. “Do you really want to get shot that badly!”
“Relax, kitten. I’ll behave myself,” he says with a smile that promises trouble. “But he needs to get used to seeing us together, even if he doesn’t like
“Be careful, King” Nina warns, still eyeing Gray. “He really might just shoot your ass”
“Yeah, yeah” King pulls me towards the fire and sits me down on his lap, his arms wrapped around me. Gray’s eyes narrow, his jaw clenched, but he doesn’t say anything. Instead, he goes back to whatever conversation he’s having with Niko.
“See?” King whispers against my neck. “You’re safe with me, kitten. Always”
Gradually, exhaustion sneaks in, and I lean back against him, the low rumble of his voice and fire’s warmth making me sleepy. “You’re dozing off on me,” he murmurs. “We haven’t even gotten to the fun part yet”
“And what’s that?” I ask, not bothering to open my eyes.
“You riding as my backpack.”
I let out a tired laugh. “Can’t we just save that for tomorrow! Not exactly in the mood to die tonight anyway.”
He chuckles, but then his tone drops to a gravelly pur. “Nah, this needs to happen tonight.” His hand slides possessively up my thigh. “I plan to eat your pretty pussy and fuck you on my bike in the middle of nowhere“.
That definitely wakes me up. Without a second thought, I hop up from his lap. “Well, what’re we waiting for?”
He should’ve mentioned this part of the plan earlier.
Niko looks up as we move towards the bikes, his grin knowing. “Be safe, you two.”
King smirks back. “Oh, we will be
