The Lycan Biker King's Obsession

Chapter 21

The ride back to the cabin was silent and heavy. I sat behind Ryker as always, arms wrapped around his waist, but the usual comfort of his body felt strained. The rogue Alphas rode in tight formation around us, their bikes roaring like distant thunder. Draco kept slightly behind the others, his face shadowed.

No one spoke.

The moment we stepped inside the cabin, the tension exploded.

Ryker slammed the door shut and rounded on Draco, grabbing him by the front of his leather cut. “Start talking. How did the widow know about the mountain sanctuary?”

Draco didn’t fight back. He met Ryker’s gaze steadily, though pain flickered in his eyes. “I didn’t tell her. I would never betray Rhea or the boy.”

Jax stepped forward, voice low and dangerous. “Then explain how she knew. You were the one who suggested the witch’s runes. You were the one who knew the exact location.”

Kai stood beside me, his hand resting possessively on my lower back. Zane closed in on Draco’s other side. The broken pact and the curse binding us all made the air suffocating. Every emotion was amplified.

I stepped between them, placing my hand on Ryker’s chest. “Enough. Fighting each other helps no one.”

The awakened curse stirred inside me. I could feel the threads connecting me to all five males — Ryker’s deep possessive anchor, the rogue Alphas’ fierce, hungry loyalty. One of those threads felt… off. Twisted.

I closed my eyes and reached with the power, gently this time, the way I had practiced with Ryker. Red energy pulsed softly from my palm as I touched Draco’s arm.

He tensed but didn’t pull away.

Images flashed through my mind — fragmented, emotional. Draco sitting alone at night, staring at an old photo of Rhea’s brother. A quiet conversation with a contact. A single message sent weeks ago, before everything escalated.

Not betrayal for power.

A desperate attempt to protect me from afar.

“You reached out to someone,” I whispered, opening my eyes. “Trying to get information on the widow’s plans. You didn’t know they were feeding it back to her.”

Draco exhaled shakily. “I thought I was helping. I never meant for it to lead here.”

Ryker released him slowly, but the suspicion didn’t fully leave his eyes. “You should have told us.”

The rogue Alphas relaxed fractionally, but the damage was done. The curse had already used that doubt to tighten its hold on all of us.

I swayed on my feet. The power drain from the ritual and the confrontation hit me again. Ryker caught me instantly, lifting me onto the couch. The others moved closer without hesitation.

Kai knelt in front of me, his hands sliding up my thighs. “You’re pushing too hard again.”

Jax sat beside me, brushing my hair back. “Let us help carry it.”

The touches were bolder now. Zane’s palm rested on my knee. Draco, still shaken, stayed close but watchful. Ryker pulled me into his lap, his mouth finding my neck in a heated kiss that sent fire racing through my veins.

The curse responded eagerly, flowing between all of us. The pain eased, replaced by overwhelming heat. Five sets of hands on my body. Five Alphas bound to me through blood and power.

Ryker’s lips claimed mine in a deep, possessive kiss. Kai’s mouth moved along my collarbone. Jax’s fingers traced my waist under my coat. The sensation was dizzying — too much, yet not enough.

I gasped into Ryker’s mouth as the curse stabilized, the threads between us glowing faintly with red energy. For a moment, it felt like balance. Like power shared instead of taken.

Then my phone buzzed on the table.

Another unknown number.

I reached for it with trembling fingers and read the message.

'Draco wasn’t the only leak. Elias has been watching everything. He knows the real location of the mountain sanctuary. He’s already sent a team. If you want your son to live, bring the full power of the curse to the old pack house ruins at 3 AM. Alone. Or the boy dies before sunrise.'

The room went deathly silent.

Ryker’s arms tightened around me. “No. We’re not playing this game anymore.”

But I stared at the message, the awakened curse whispering dark possibilities in my blood.

Leo was in danger again.

And this time, the threat came from someone who had been pulling strings from the very beginning.

I looked at the five males surrounding me — Ryker’s fierce protection, the rogue Alphas’ loyalty now mixed with fresh suspicion and hunger.

The queen had secured her son once.

Now she had to decide how much she was willing to sacrifice to keep him safe.
