The Date 2

Dalia and Dekker were never supposed to be anything more than one night. No strings. No promises. Just heat, tension, and chemistry that hit like a lightning strike. But when the morning came, Dekker walked away-too stubborn, too guarded to admit the connection ran deeper than he was ready to face.

Weeks passed, but neither could shake the ghost of that night. Just when Dalia thought about breaking her own rules to see what could be, Dekker showed her his true colors-publicly humiliating her in front of his MC family, including his father, brother, and the worst cut of all-her sister, Danika.

Turns out blood doesn't always mean loyalty. Danika had been playing both sides, feeding Dekker lies and half-truths, twisting Dalia's image until it was unrecognizable. By the time Dalia uncovered the truth, the damage was done. Her heart was cracked, her trust shattered, and her bond with Danika? Non existent.

Dalia walked away. From Dekker. From her sister. From the MC.

Now Dekker's living with the weight of what he lost. Regret doesn't even scratch the surface. But he doesn't have time to wallow when someone comes for Dalia-sending threats, making moves. He's got one mission: protect the woman he let down and take out whoever's trying to hurt her.

With his boys Madison brother, his brother HJ, and Dalia's ride-or-die best friend Jordan by his side. Dekker calls in every favor and brother he's got. They're running a tight race against enemies in the shadows. But this ain't just about protection-it's about redemption.

Dekker's got one last shot to prove he's more than his mistakes.

Because if he fails, Dalia won't just be lost to him forever-she might not survive to see what could've been.
