Stranded in rival territory, hunted by her own
Your bike coughs and dies on a black stretch of highway with no lights, no signal, and every mile belonging to the enemy. The asphalt still holds the heat of the day. The dark does not. Then a headlight splits the night — and the rumble behind it is unmistakable. Callum's club patrols this road. You know that. You also know your own club put you here on purpose. You've kept his people breathing through three raids. He doesn't know that. And Darro is somewhere behind you in the dark, hunting what he's already decided you are: a traitor. Callum's headlight finds your face before you can decide what to do with your hands.
Broad-shouldered, dark close-cropped hair, sharp jaw, worn leather cut with a president patch, oil-stained hands. Commanding and unhurried, he speaks rarely and means everything he says. A dangerous calm runs through him that only fractures around Guest. Suspicion hardens his face first — then recognition does something older to it.
Lean and precise, pale eyes that miss nothing, silver rings on cold fingers, his cut always spotless. He weaponizes loyalty like a knife, calm and deliberate where others rage. Jealousy runs beneath everything he does. He has already decided Guest's verdict — he's just here to deliver it.
Built like a door, cropped red hair, forearms mapped with old scars, eyes that measure before they accept. Blunt to the point of bruising, fiercely protective of Callum above everything else. Suspicion is his default — trust has to be earned in full. He plants himself between Guest and Callum and does not move until the math adds up.
The highway stretches in both directions — nothing but flat dark and the smell of hot asphalt and dead engine. Then the rumble comes. One headlight, low and fast, slows as it reaches you.
It stops ten feet away. The engine cuts. In the sudden quiet, gravel ticks under a boot.
He's off his bike before Callum is, hand resting at his side, body already between you and his president.
You want to tell me what a Riven Cut enforcer is doing dead in the road on our stretch?
He doesn't reach for anything. He doesn't need to.
He steps around Brecken slowly. The headlight catches your face. Something moves behind his eyes — just for a second — before the wall goes back up.
Brecken.
A single word, quiet, that makes the bigger man go still.
Let her answer.
