In the heart of a city ruled by chaos, Armando Romos stands as the ruthless leader of the Demented Devils MC. Known for his fierce loyalty and unyielding power, he thrives in a world where weakness is a sin. But everything changes when a sudden ambush leaves him bleeding in a park, a bullet wound signaling an unexpected turn in his tumultuous life. Maya Connor, a compassionate nurse seeking a moment of peace, stumbles upon Armando's crumpled form. Initially, Armando's pride and fierce independence resist her offer of help; he's a man used to being in control, not relying on anyone. Yet as the blood pools around him, desperation forces him to confront his mortality and the bitter betrayal that led him here. With no choice but to surrender to Maya's care, he discovers that she sees beyond the ink and anger etched on his skin. As she tends to his wounds, a spark ignites between them, bridging the divide between their worlds-a world of violence and a realm of healing. Caught between the violent loyalty of the Demented Devils and a burgeoning passion for the woman who saved him, Armando must face his past and make a choice: embrace the chance for redemption with Maya or be dragged back into the darkness that claims so many.

Armando held his head high, a veneer of triumph shrouding the turmoil beneath. My neck throbbed where he had gripped my collar, the remnants of his fingers lingering like an unwelcome brand. Since his friends had arrived, he seemed lost to me, consumed by their camaraderie. He had only cast a fleeting glance in my direction after he hurled that man into the fire, his gaze barely touching me as if I were nothing more than a shadow drifting through a sunlit memory.The Hornets’ leader stared at me with a predatory hunger, his dark brown eyes glimmering with desire, tracing my every move. It was as if my very presence was a trophy to be won. As I walked toward the cabin, where injured men lay on makeshift cots crafted from broken bed-frames and tattered sheets salvaged from the remains of the shed, I felt the weight of his gaze like a heavy shroud.Inside, a crew member from The Hornets was hastily gathering supplies and stuffing them into a bag. I crossed my arms, refusing to shrink away
Shadow Beneath The Stars (Demented Devils) MC Armando
My mind raced, a tempest of despair and fury swirling around the man who had just whispered the name of a possible traitor. But what did I have? Nothing but the unreliable word of a scum who would lie without a second thought, ready to abandon everything to save his own skin. I forced myself toward the crew that had rolled in from East Phoenix—the Chaos Hornets. A crew I knew well, one I’d gotten along with better than most; we had history, and their loyalty was something I valued deeply. I assumed Jake had called them in, and they immediately responded, ready to leap into the chaos that had engulfed us. Chaos was an understatement. Our compound lay in ashes, my father’s legacy reduced to charred ruin, and my mother’s beloved rose garden—a lifetime of nurturing—all turned to acrid smoke and memories. Maybe that’s why I snapped at Maya. She didn’t deserve my outburst. She was light and hope, two things I felt slipping through my fingers like sand. I had grown up differently, hardene

I pressed my hand to my mouth, the acrid scent of smoke clawing at my throat as I stumbled toward the middle of the chaos. Armando and the others stood near a building that was engulfed in flames, its structure nearly collapsed under the onslaught of fire. My gaze zeroed in on a man leaning against a post, which had been reduced to a charred stump, his body barely clinging to life.Panic surged through me as my heart raced and my hands trembled. I sprinted over, adrenaline coursing through my veins, the heat of the flames licking at my skin. I dropped to my knees beside him, the ground hot beneath me. I pushed aside the smoldering remnants of his jacket, revealing a deep, jagged wound near his abdomen—the same cruel mark that marred Armando’s side. Blood oozed from the man's mouth, pooling in the dust around him, and I knew he was hurt far worse than I dared imagine.My fingers fumbled as I untangled the fabric of his shirt, revealing more bullet wounds that punctured his back, the gri

We huddled in the dark basement, our bodies pressed together, breath coming in tight, anxious gasps as we heard Reaper and his men encircling the compound. The tension was palpable, a living thing that wrapped around us like a suffocating shroud.“What about the others?” I whispered, my voice trembling. Armando stood nearby, his silhouette barely discernible against the shadows, the soft earth beneath us carrying a musty scent that filled my lungs with dread. Something brushed against my arm—was it a spider, or just my mind playing tricks? I fought to suppress a scream, clamping my free hand over my mouth while I frantically reached out with the other.My fingers found him—Armando, appearing just beside me, his grip firm and grounding. “They’ll be fine,” he reassured me, his voice steady despite the chaos above. “Jake and I, along with the elders, have an escape plan. There’s a tunnel that leads us out.”He tugged at my hand, gently urging me down onto my knees. “You’ll have to crawl f

I awoke to the sun shining brightly on my face, its warm hues mixing with the blanket to provide a comfort I hadn’t felt in a long time. Lifting my head, I noticed the room was empty. The bed felt cold beside me, and Armand’s side was only partly made up. Still naked from last night, I scanned the room and saw that my clothes had been picked up and placed near the desk chair. Now that it was fully bright, the pale gray walls gave the space a peaceful atmosphere. I could see details I had missed the night before due to the circumstances surrounding us. Sitting up, I ran my fingers through my hair, tangled from sleep, and stretched my arms, letting the sheet fall away as I stood to grab my clothes. As I dressed, pulling on my jeans, I glanced out the window, which faced the compound—the heart of our land. Daylight revealed everything: the rows of motorcycles lined up outside, reminding me of the ones that had come for us that night. I could still feel the lingering adrenaline mixed with

I perched on a bar stool in the dimly lit kitchen of the cabin, my heart racing as I watched Luna methodically pour drink after drink into her glass. Her brown eyes were locked onto me with a fierce intensity that sent shivers down my spine. “So you’re a nurse?” she slurred, her words thick and heavy, punctuated by unsteady sways. The empty vodka bottle stood like a sentinel beside her, a testament to the chaos spiraling around us. I shifted in my seat, straightening up as if trying to defy the weight of the moment. My hands intertwined nervously in my lap, and I cleared my throat to gather my thoughts, but they slipped away like sand through my fingers. It had been days since I last saw Armando, days spent in this cabin where Luna held me captive—no ropes binding my wrists today, but the invisible chains of anxiety and longing weighed heavily upon me.My mind drifted to him, an ache blooming in my chest. How was he? Did he need me? The mere thought of him tugged at my very essence, i

“Maya?” The name slips from my lips like a desperate whisper, trembling in the stillness of the room. Beneath me, something soft and warm cradles my weight—a fleeting comfort that contrasts sharply with the chaos in my mind. I inhale deeply, the air thick with familiarity, and as I lift my head, the haze begins to clear. I blink hard, recognizing the faint outlines of my own room back at the camp, a sanctuary that now feels hauntingly foreign.The walls hold echoes of the past, unchanged since I last stood here three days ago. My clothes lie scattered on the ottoman, remnants of a life interrupted. The bathroom door stands ajar, an invitation into a space that feels incomplete. But where is Maya? Her absence is a void that grips my chest, and I inhale sharply as awareness crashes in: the searing pain at my side. We were waiting for Jake. The memory hits like a thunderclap. He must have brought us here—what happened after? Panic rises as I sit up, forcing myself to take stock of the s

He pressed his lips against mine, a soft yet electrifying connection that ignited something deep within me. The kiss was an unspoken declaration, a spark that blazed to life before I even had a chance to comprehend it. Armando was unlike anyone I'd ever encountered; there was a wildness to him that both thrilled and terrified me. When he finally revealed that he led a gang trafficking drugs, it felt like the ground had shifted beneath my feet. Shock coursed through me, leaving me breathless. What was I supposed to think? I shot a glare at the clock, its red digits glaring back at me in the stillness of the night. Past midnight. Time felt suspended as I turned to face the door, where Armando lay sprawled on the couch, his presence a heavy blanket over my thoughts. The taste of his kiss lingered on my lips, a haunting reminder of our encounter. A slight smile crept onto my face, unwelcome yet insistent, as memories whirled in my mind. His hands had gripped my cheeks with such urgenc

My phone rang, slicing through the tension-filled silence while Maya was in the shower. I knew I shouldn’t answer it; every instinct screamed at me to ignore it. But the thought of leaving it unanswered gnawed at me like a festering wound. I had charged it earlier when Maya was away, a small flicker of hope in an otherwise darkening world.Jake’s name flashed on the screen, and a wave of dread washed over me. My stomach churned with anxiety, but this was my crew, my responsibility. I couldn’t let Rico’s shadow cast a pall over us.I slid my finger across the screen, and Jake’s frantic voice crackled through the line. “Armando? Is that you?” His breath came in quick gasps, sounding almost muffled as if he were hiding in a quiet room, wrestling with his own fears.“It’s me,” I replied, steeling myself for whatever grim news was about to surface.He exhaled sharply, a mix of relief and panic. “Thank god you’re alive. Where are you? We can come get you.” Jake had always been the mor
