Torin-Shattered: Way Down We Go (Part 1)
A Biker/Billionaire/Mafia Romance
With my fingers gliding across his flesh, I kept contact as I moved around to his back and across the broad expanse between each shoulder. Afterward, I ran my fingers in a soft caress over the nape of his neck—God, how I'd always wanted to touch him in this way—and then began making my way over to the opposite shoulder, shortly coming around to his collarbone.
Afterward, with a pivot of my fingertips, and practiced turns of my feet, I came a full one hundred and eighty degrees, facing him again.
As I gazed into his eyes, my breathing increased, and I felt myself give a small pant as I moved my fingers down to his chest...
Shattered-Way down we Go" - A heart-wrenching tango of love, loss, and redemption unfolds as Marlowe Mills, the daughter of the president for The Sons of Morning Star MC, is secretly in love with Torin Montero, a member of her father's MC, who becomes her father's rival and her silent protector.

Chapter: Chapter-60I glared at Lucien. "You're going to regret this," I hissed, my voice filled with loathing."Doubtful," Lucien said with a sneer, his hand tightening around my neck. "But you're going to, for not cooperating."Blood pounded in my head from lack of oxygen and the room spun, but I knew I had to get out of this somehow. Using what strength I had left, I head-butted him.At the blow, he stumbled back, cursing, and I used the brief moment of respite to kick the chair from under me, landing hard on the floor.My legs had gone numb from the tight ropes, but I managed to get to my knees, my eyes scanning the room for anything to use as a weapon.As I saw a glint of metal in the corner, a knife, I lunged for it, my heart in my throat. But before I could reach it, the door slammed open and Rook burst in, his eyes wide with alarm."Marlowe!" he bellowed, drawing a gun.The two thugs that had brought me here had their weapons drawn, but they weren’t fast enough. Rook fired a shot, and one of them

Chapter: Chapter-59"It seems, you’re my stepbrother,” I blurted. Then shrugging, I continued, “My mom…your dad."For a moment, something flickered in Lucien's eyes, something that might have been admission of former knowledge of the fact. But whatever it was, it was quickly hidden. "Okay, so?" he asked, his voice taking on a slight edge as he shifted a little straighter in his chair.“Well, don’t you think it makes our relationship a little…awkward?” I murmured."No. Do you?" Lucien's voice sounded like more of a snap than a question."Honestly? Yeah, I kinda do,” I returned, defensiveness entering my voice."And why should the fact your mom is married to my dad change anything between us?" he said, his laughter grating on my nerves like nails."Because we're family!" I exclaimed.Sitting straight up in his chair, he leaned across the table menacingly toward me, sneering, "You're not my family.”I stared at him, the hurt and betrayal burning in my chest. "You knew all along, didn’t you?"“That you’re my

Chapter: Chapter-58The next few days were a blur of emotion. I told them everything I could remember about who my brother used to be, but could provide nothing on who he had become. As I did, it hit me, I had lost the man I had called my brother.The information gathering on Dillon, and the members of his club, continued. We looked for every weak point that could help us gain an advantage. We had been under the eye of the Sons of Morning Star club for a while now, so they were way a head of us. So, every member of the Raven's had a role to play gaining intel, and the tension grew taut as a bowstring.When the night finally arrived, and the weight of what I was about to do, my nerves began getting the best of me, and when I met up with Rook, he rested his hand on my shoulder, asking, "You're sure about this?"I nodded, as pulling in a deep breath, I murmured, "Let's end this."~~As everyone was already in place, it was as simple as walking out from the train yard, leaving a silent cavalry of shadows beh

Chapter: Chapter-57A few minutes later Rook called for attention. "We know who did this," Rook announced, his eyes scanning the room. "It was Sobain."The room erupted into shouts, but Rook held up a hand for silence. "We have to be smart," he said. "We can't just go after her. Her ol’man is the President of the Sons of Morning Star, as well Reif's mom."Tonya stepped forward, her eyes hard. "But we can't just sit here and do nothing," she said. "We need to find a way to take her down."The tension grew as the discussion heated up. The club was divided—some wanted to go to war, while others were cautious, fearing the consequences."You can use their own game against them," I suggested. "Feed them false info."Rook nodded slowly, considering my words. "It's risky," he said. "But it might just work."The decision was made, and the club sprang into action. We had a plan, a dangerous one, but it was our only hope.As everyone dispersed, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. I couldn’t believe Dillon

Chapter: Chapter-56The night was long and tense, the air thick with the smell of gasoline and dust. We had blocked off the entrances and set up makeshift barriers, turning the warehouse into a labyrinth that would slow down any intruder. The brothers had armed themselves with what we could scrounge up—pipes, knives, and a couple of handguns. We were ready to fight, but we were all acutely aware that we were outmatched."Marlowe," Surgeon called out, his voice low and urgent. "We need to get into position."I nodded, my heart racing as I took my place at the top of a set of stairs that overlooked the main floor. From here, I could see the entire area where we had set our trap. The plan was simple—make them think we were easy prey and pick them off as they approached.The radio crackled to life again, and we all held our breath. "Sons of Morning Star, this is Rook," his voice was strained, but strong. "You've got one last chance to leave us alone. If you don't, we'll bring the whole damn place down on you

Chapter: Chapter-55I didn’t argue, knowing that staying would only make things worse for both of us. With one last look, I slipped out the back door, the night swallowing me up.The woods were dark and foreboding, but I knew the layout of the land. I had been here before, on rides with Rook and the others, and I had a good sense of direction. I had to trust that.The sound of the bikes grew fainter as I pushed deeper into the woods, my heart racing. I didn’t look back, didn’t dare to hope that Rook and his brothers would come out of this unscathed.The crunch of leaves underfoot was the only sound as I made my way through the dense foliage. I could feel the eyes of the forest watching me, the shadows playing tricks on my mind.And then, I heard it—the unmistakable crack of a twig snapping. I spun around, ready to fight. But it was too late. A hand clamped over my mouth, and a strong arm pulled me into the shadows."Mar!" Houseshoes voice hissed in my ear. "You need to come with me, now!"I nodded franti

Chapter: Chapter-74I descended into the mansion's depths, where my daughter slept peacefully, oblivious to the battles being waged. Elysia looked up as I entered, her eyes shining with love and relief."Is it over?" she asked softly."For now," I said, taking her hand. "But we must always be ready."We stood there, looking down at Willow, feeling the weight of our new responsibilities. She was more than just our daughter; she was the future of our kind."We will teach her love and wisdom," Elysia murmured. "To know that power is not just about might, but about unity and protection."I nodded, feeling the warmth of her hand in mine. "Our love will be her greatest weapon, and our bond her shield."In the quiet after the battle, with the promise of a new day just beginning to break, we made a silent vow to protect Willow and our pack with every ounce of our being. For this was just the start of a new chapter in our story.~~Exhaustion weighed heavily on my shoulders, the exertion of the night’s battle etc

Chapter: Chapter-73It seemed no sooner had Willow entered the world, than the quiet was shattered by a sudden commotion outside. The sound of snarling reached our ears, and I knew our peace was short-lived. Another enemy had found us.With a snarl of my own, I handed Willow to Elysia, my eyes never leaving hers. "You must go," I told her, my voice low and urgent. "Take Willow and hide. I’ll deal with this."She nodded, the fierce determination in her eyes matching my own. "We'll be waiting for you," she whispered, before disappearing out the bedroom door with our precious bundle.After watching them meld with the shadows, I stepped out into the corridor, my senses heightened.“Alpha, we are under attack,” Twix shouted through our mind link.“Where are they coming from?” I demanded, my hand already reaching for my sword that hung on the wall of my Den.“The east woods. It’s a small group, but they’re armed and moving fast!”“Sound the alarm. I’m on my way!” I retorted.As I sprinted through the corridors

Chapter: Chapter-72The confrontation came swiftly, like a storm we hadn't seen brewing on the horizon.The battle was fierce, our pack united behind us as we faced the enemy pack.With the Bond of the Phoenix pulsing between us, we wove a dance of power and strategy, our moves perfectly synchronized. Elysia's fiery spirit and my steadfast resolve became a shield for the pack, a beacon in the chaos.The other pack was formidable, their eyes burning with malice as they struck at our lines. Their howls filled the air, their vocalization a testament to the darkness we had to face.Our pack fought valiantly, each member's strength bolstered by our bond. As we worked together, the prophecy's words echoed in my mind: "The Phoenix will rise from the ashes of the old, and in its flames, a new era will be born."Elysia and I, as one, charged the pack’s alpha, our combined power growing with each step. The creature howled in fury, with our attack, but it was no match for the bond we shared.The beast staggered, t

Chapter: Chapter-71The following days were a whirlwind of whispers and hushed conversations that carried through the halls of the mansion. The pack was divided—some believed that Hartwell’s death had broken the prophecy’s hold, while others feared that we’d only hastened the inevitable.I felt a jolt of anger at their reactions, but it was quickly tempered by the realization that fear could bring unrest. The prophecy had held the dynamite, my killing Hartwell had lit the fuse.The next few weeks were filled with tension. The pack grew more divided, factions forming around those who believed in the prophecy and those who saw it as a curse. Elysia and I tried to keep the peace, but the whispers grew louder, the glances more accusatory.One evening, as we sat in our chambers, Elysia’s turned to me, her eyes filled with a sadness that pierced my heart. “What if this prophecy is more than just words? What if it’s a destiny we can’t escape?”I pulled her into an embrace, feeling the warmth of her body against

Chapter: Chapter-70The days that followed the mating ritual were a whirlwind of activity and emotion. The pack had accepted our union, and with it, the prophecy that had been whispered about for so long. But the whispers had turned into shouts, and the shadows grew darker with each passing moment.Rumors of other shifters seeking to claim me, to break the prophecy before it could come to pass, had begun to circulate. We knew we had to be vigilant, had to train harder and prepare for the inevitable battles that lay ahead.Alex and I spent every moment we could together, our bond growing stronger with each passing day. We were not just mates; we were a united front, a symbol of hope and change. And as we worked alongside Kiley and the rest of the pack, I felt a sense of belonging that I had never experienced before.Yet, even as we trained and strategized, there were moments of tenderness, moments when the weight of our newfound responsibilities was lifted, and we were just two people in love. We would sn

Chapter: Chapter-69As Alex groaned, his eyes closed in ecstasy. "Elysia," he whispered, his voice strained."Let me," I said, pushing him onto his back. I straddled him, lowering myself down onto his length. He filled me completely, and I felt our bond pulse with every inch he claimed.We moved together, our bodies in perfect sync, each stroke a declaration of our love and commitment. Our eyes locked, the blue of his irises swirling with gold. The passion between us was a living force, a testament to our bond that was now etched into our very souls.Our breaths grew ragged, our bodies slick with sweat, the sound of skin slapping against skin filling the quiet room. The air was charged with desire, the mating bond a living thing that grew stronger with every touch, every kiss, every thrust.As our climax approached, I leaned down, capturing his mouth in a deep, hungry kiss, tasting myself on his tongue. He growled, his hips bucking up into me, the intensity building until it was all we could do to hold o
