King

The baby feels so small in my arms, his tiny fingers curlin' and uncurlin' against my chest as he sleeps. I study his face, tryin' to memorize every detail—his button nose, the way his eyelashes brush against his cheeks, the soft sounds he makes with every breath.

This is the first time I’ve held him. My son. And it hits me like a punch to the gut just how much I’ve missed. His first smile, his first laugh, all those nights when he needed comfortin', Queenie was there... and Caleb.

The thought burns like acid. I glance up at Caleb, sittin' across from me, his face unreadable, his hands fidgetin' in his lap. There’s a bruise formin' along his jaw, a reminder of what just happened upstairs. I want to be angry. I want to lash out. But there’s a hollowness inside me that I can’t shake.

“I missed so much,” I mutter, my voice barely above a whisper.

Caleb nods, his expression tightenin'. “You didn’t have a choice,” he says, but his words feel empty, even to him.

“Didn’t I?” I bite out,

    QueenieHis words hit me like a tidal wave, crashing over the fragile walls I’d built to protect myself. “I thought you hated me, King,” I whisper, my voice trembling as the sobs break free. My fingers clutch at his shirt, desperate to ground myself in the feel of him, the weight of his presence.“I never hated ya,” he murmurs, his voice cracking under the weight of his emotions. His hand strokes my back, slow and soothing, but it does little to stop the flood of tears. “I’ve loved ya every second, Queenie. Even when it felt like I had to rip myself away, I loved you.”His words twist something inside me—grief, relief, anger, all tangled together in a knot so tight I can barely breathe. “Then why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you find a way to explain? Do you know what it felt like to think you didn’t want me anymore?”His arms tighten around me, and he lets out a sharp exhale, his breath warm against my hair. “I didn’t know how to make it make sense.

  • Cursed Kings MC Books 1-4   Telling Him

    CalebI sit on the couch, Baby Caleb cradled in my arms. He’s so small, so innocent, and yet he’s the center of a storm none of us can seem to navigate. His tiny hand curls around my finger, and it grounds me for a moment. I focus on his soft breaths, on the way his little chest rises and falls against me. But my mind won’t stop spinning.What the hell am I supposed to do? I love Queenie. I love this baby as if he were my own. But King… he’s my brother, my twin. Everything about this is a mess, and I don’t know how to untangle it.The creak of the stairs pulls me out of my thoughts. I look up as King comes down, his footsteps slow, his expression unreadable. He walks into the living room and pauses, his eyes falling on me and the baby. For a second, I think he’s going to say something snide, something to push me further away, but instead, he just sits in the chair across from me, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees.“Why do you think I push you out, Caleb?” His voice is quiet

    KingThe roar of the engine beneath me feels like the only thin' keepin' my thoughts from tearin' me apart. I ride back to the club, needin' space, needin' to breathe without the weight of Queenie or Caleb hoverin' over me. Bein' in that cabin felt suffocatin', not because of them, but because of what I’d done to both of them, pushin' Caleb out, forcin' Queenie into a position no one should ever have to face.The open road clears my head, the wind bitin' against my skin, but it doesn’t fix anythin'. It just gives me enough clarity to realize how much I’ve missed. The freedom, the brotherhood, my family... and yet, I’ve never felt further from all of it.As the club comes into view, I slow down, taking a deep breath before pullin' into the lot. The place is quiet, too quiet, and the moment I step inside, the tension is palpable. Conversations stop, all eyes turnin' toward me.“For fuck’s sake,” I shout, throwin' my hands up. “I’m home! Cheer the fuck up, ya makin’ me miserable, ya old

    King POVThe door creaks open behind me, and I glance over my shoulder to see Doc steppin' out. He doesn’t say anythin' at first, just walks over and leans against the bike next to me, his hands shoved deep into his jacket pockets.“Hell of a night,” he says finally, his voice low.I let out a humorless laugh, takin' another drag of my cigarette. I rarely smoke, but I feel like I need to right now. “That’s one way to put it.”Doc studies me for a moment, his gaze steady. “You’re not wrong about Caleb, ya know. We did push him to the side. Hell, I didn’t even realize it until he left, and by then, it was too late.”I don’t say anythin', the knot in my chest tightenin' as his words sink in.“But ya know,” Doc continues, “he came back. He didn’t have to, but he did. That says somethin', doesn’t it?”I shake my head, flickin' the ash from my cigarette. “Yeah, it says he’s loyal to a fault. But it doesn’t fix anythin'.”Doc sighs, leanin' back against the bike. “Maybe not. But you and Cale

    QueenieI wake slowly, the warmth of Caleb’s arms around me grounding me before the heaviness of reality can settle in. His chest rises and falls steadily beneath my cheek, the sound of his heartbeat a soothing rhythm that I don’t want to let go of. For a moment, just a fleeting second, I allow myself to pretend that none of this is happening, that it’s just us, wrapped in this quiet, fragile moment.But then, everything comes crashing back. King. The fight. The impossible decision hanging over me like a storm cloud.I shift slightly, trying to untangle myself without waking him, but his grip tightens instinctively, pulling me closer.“Don’t,” he murmurs, his voice husky with sleep. “Not yet.”His words send a pang through my chest, a mixture of longing and guilt twisting inside me. I tilt my head to look at him, his dark eyes already open and watching me. There’s something raw in his gaze, something vulnerable that I don’t often see from Caleb.“I didn’t mean to wake you,” I whisper,

    CalebThe room feels heavy with emotions I can’t quite name, but the silence that follows Queenie’s whispered response is enough to make my chest ache. I glance at King, his expression unreadable as he sits quietly, holding baby Caleb close. It’s a strange kind of peace, fragile, like it could shatter at any second.My phone vibrates in my pocket, snapping me out of my thoughts. I pull it out, noticing several missed calls from my dad. A frown creases my forehead, and I stand, holding the screen up for King and Queenie to see.“It’s Dad,” I say. “He’s been calling.”King’s eyes narrow slightly, and Queenie shifts uneasily in her seat. “Should we go to the club?” she asks softly, her gaze flickering between us. “I’ve not seen Maz in a week,” she whispers.I hesitate for a moment before nodding. “Yeah. It might be important.” I turn to King. “You coming?”He nods, standing up carefully and handing the now-sleeping baby back to Queenie. “I’ll ride my bike. You two take the car.”We move

    KingThe door closes behind Caleb, and I’m left sittin' with Queenie and baby Caleb. It feels strange, like the calm before a storm. Queenie adjusts the baby in her arms, her face tired but still heartbreakingly beautiful. I’ve missed this, missed them. But the tension in the room is thick, and I know the words we need to say to each other aren’t goin' to be easy.“You okay?” I ask softly, my voice barely cuttin' through the quiet.Queenie looks at me, her lips pressed into a thin line, before noddin'. “I don’t know. Maybe? I feel like everything is spinning, and I can’t find a way to stop it.”Her honesty cuts deep, and I nod. “I get it. Believe me, I get it.”She shifts the baby in her arms, and he stirs, his tiny hands gripping her shirt as he settles against her chest. “He’s so peaceful when he’s like this,” she whispers, her gaze softenin'. “It’s hard to believe everything is such a mess when he’s here.”I can’t take my eyes off them.

    King POVHer words are so soft, but the second they register, I laugh. I can’t help it. The sheer awkwardness in her voice, the way she’s glaring at me like she’s ready to throw something, it’s too much.“It’s not funny, King!” she snaps, crossing her arms as I keep laughing.“Sorry, sorry!” I manage to say between chuckles. “It’s just… of all the things you could be stressing about, that’s the one?”Her eyes roll dramatically. “You’re such a prick.”I grin. “Fair enough. Alright, let me answer seriously. Who you sleep with at night? That’s something we’d all need to discuss and figure out together. As for the sex… Caleb and I agreed to give you space to decide what you want. It’s not about avoiding you. It’s about respecting you. And, to be honest, I’m not sure how either of us would react seeing the other… with you like that.”She’s quiet for a moment, nodding as she takes that in.Before she can respond, the door opens, and Caleb steps out, rubbing his hands over his face.“What di

    Caleb’s POVThe roar of the bikes fills the air as we pull up to the clubhouse. It’s been months since the twins were born, and life hasn’t slowed down for a second. I park my bike and glance over at King, who’s smirking like he’s already a step ahead of me. He probably is. He’s been in a good place lately—focused, lighter even. It’s strange to see after everything, but I can’t complain. He’s my brother, and for the first time in years, it feels like we’re truly in sync.The twins have turned our world upside down in the best way. Queenie’s been handling everything like a pro, balancing the chaos of our family with the chaos of club life. Baby Caleb is toddling around like he owns the place, and the twins, Ruby and Daisy, are always keeping us on our toes. Life is full, and though it’s overwhelming sometimes, it’s everything I didn’t know I wanted.I step off my bike and stretch. King does the same, then glances at me with a grin. “Ready for today?”“Yeah,” I reply, though my voice fe

    King’s POVIt’s been two months since we found out Queenie was having girls—twins. Two months of chaos, laughter, and a whole lot of learnin'. Sittin' on the clubhouse steps with a cup of coffee in my hand, I let my thoughts drift. Life feels different now. Better, maybe. Calmer. Though “calm” isn’t exactly the word I’d use to describe this club or my family.I’ve been spendin' more time with Kian. It’s something I should’ve done years ago but never did. I was too wrapped up in myself, in the club, in provin' I was the best choice for Prez. Kian was always just the kid in the background. Now, I see him for who he is—a sharp, thoughtful kid with a wicked sense of humor. He’s not a biker, not in the traditional sense, but he’s found his place here. He’s good with numbers, helping with the financial side of things, and he’s got this way of readin' people that reminds me of his mom.He’s been givin' me shit lately, though. “Finally realized I exist, huh?” he joked a few weeks ago when I i

    Queenie’s POVSix months. It feels like a lifetime ago and yet just yesterday that everything changed. Lying here waiting for the woman to do the scan, I watch King and Caleb as they stand together. The sight makes my heart swell in a way I never thought possible. They’re so in sync now, their bond stronger than it’s ever been, and it’s a relief to see the tension that once lingered between them completely gone.King laughs at something Caleb says, and it’s such a genuine, carefree sound that I find myself smiling too. I still can’t believe how far he’s come. The darkness that used to grip him so tightly seems to have loosened its hold. It’s not gone entirely—I doubt it ever will be—but it’s no longer the thing that defines him. He’s lighter now, freer, and seeing him like this makes me love him even more.We’ve been staying at the club more than the cabin these past few months, something I never thought I’d be okay with. When King first suggested splitting our time between here and t

    CalebShe’s a menace. A complete and utter menace. But God help me, I can’t resist her, not when she’s looking at me like that. The way she bites her lip and presses against me, whispering my name like it’s a plea and a command all at once—I’m a goner.Her lips are on mine, hot and demanding, and my hands move instinctively, sliding over her to feel the warmth of her skin. She’s soft, all curves and fire, and I’m reminded just how good it feels to have her like this. Like she’s mine. Like there’s no one else in the world.“Queenie,” I murmur against her mouth, trying to find some semblance of control. My hands tighten on her waist, holding her still as she grinds against me, her body determined to undo whatever resolve I have left. “We’re going to be late for everything, you know that, right?”Her laugh is breathless, filled with mischief. “Worth it,” she says again, her voice low and teasing, and it’s all the encouragement I need.Flipping her onto her back, I pin her beneath me, my

    Queenie POVI wake up wedged between Caleb and King, feeling the weight of yesterday pressing on my chest. My mind replays everything in vivid detail, questioning every moment. If I hadn’t fought, would Delcote have still searched me? Or was it all just a punishment for not complying? He left me with my phone, almost as if he wanted me to panic.Then there’s the question of whether kicking his seat and enraging him had been a smart move. Sure, it made him stop, and that gave them the chance to find me—but did I escalate things? My thoughts spiral until I glance over to Caleb Jr.’s crib and notice it’s empty. My heart skips a beat as I sit up in a panic.“Rose and Maz have 'im,” King mutters groggily beside me. His voice is thick with sleep, and he doesn’t even open his eyes. “He woke up around half six, wanted to play, so they took him.”Relief washes over me as I let out a long breath and flop back down beside him.“How are ya feeling?” he asks quietly, turning his head to look at me

    King’s POVAs we leave the hospital, the nurse hands me a printout of the ultrasound. The blurry black-and-white image of two tiny figures takes my breath away. Twins. I stare at it for a moment, the reality sinkin' in. This wasn’t how I imagined gettin' 'er checked would go, but here we are. Sliding the picture into my jacket pocket, I pull out my phone and shoot a quick message to Rose, askin' 'er to grab the portable crib and a bag of essentials from the cabin. “We’re stayin' at the club tonight,” I explain to Caleb and Queenie, who both nod in agreement.The ride back feels heavier, quieter, as if we’re all lost in our thoughts. Queenie holds onto Caleb, her grip tighter than usual, while I keep glancin' over to make sure she’s okay. The wind whips around us, but the silence between us speaks louder than anything.When we finally arrive at the club, the warm light spillin' from the windows feels oddly comfortin'.

    Caleb’s POVAs we step out of the club, Honey’s voice cuts through the cool night air. “Why is Delcote back in town?” she asks, her casual tone sharp against the tension bubbling inside me. She leans casually against her car, her eyes narrowing as she looks at us. “I saw his car near the college earlier today.”Her words feel like a punch to the gut. I stop dead in my tracks, turning to meet King’s gaze. His expression mirrors mine—panic mixed with raw anger. His fists clench at his sides as his jaw tightens.“What did ya just say?” King growls, his voice low and dangerous.Honey raises an eyebrow, sensing the change in the air. “I saw his car near the campus,” she repeats slowly, looking between us. “What’s going on?”Before either of us can answer, Dad stops behind us, his voice booming as he barks orders. “Rose! Maz!” he calls out and I see them coming to the door. “Keep the baby with you. Don’t leave the club for anythin'. Got it?”Rose’s arms tighten around baby Caleb instinctive

    Queenie’s POVThe end of the workday couldn’t come fast enough. I step outside, shivering as the cool air nips at my skin. My eyes scan the parking lot, but there’s no sign of King’s bike or Caleb’s. My brows furrow in confusion. They said they’d pick me up—didn’t they?I wait a few minutes, pacing slightly, trying to keep warm. Pulling out my phone, I dial Caleb first. No answer. I try King next, but it goes straight to voicemail. A frustrated sigh escapes me, and I glance up and down the street. No way am I waiting. I begin walking, deciding it will be quicker than waiting if they have totally forgotten me.The walk home feels longer than it should. My feet ache from a long shift, and the chill in the air creeps through my jacket. I forgot my purse at home this morning, so no money for a taxi or bus. Just me and the quiet streets.The faint sound of an engine behind me draws my attention. I glance back, squinting under the dim glow of a streetlamp. A patrol car slows, rolling up bes

    King POV“I don’t want it,” Caleb mutters after a beat, his voice low but firm. Everyone stares at him, stunned. “I didn’t bring up that shit to get a shot at taking over. Right now, I don’t want it. I don’t want to be stuck here constantly, not when Queenie…” He trails off, realizin' he’s said too much.“Not when Queenie what?” Ink’s sharp tone cuts through the tension like a knife.Caleb sighs heavily, his hands runnin' through his hair. “Not when things are finally settlin' down. I don’t want to be tied 'ere and have 'er back at the cabin, never seein' each other.”Dad’s expression hardens. “Then why the fuck bring it up if ya didn’t want to take over?”I groan, hatin' the way this is spiraling. “He didn’t bring it up to take over,” I snap, tryin' to shield Caleb from the risin' tension. “He told Queenie, and Queenie told me. I asked him about it—he wasn’t plannin' on makin' it public.”My dad glares at both of us, frustration clear.Before he can argue I talk again. “Even if he di
