Three Alpha Bikers Wants An Open Marriage

Chapter 133: Chapter 133

Cane’s POV

The moment I realized Riley was gone, something inside me snapped in a way I could not control.

It was not just anger, it was something deeper, something that felt wrong in my chest like something important had just been taken away from me again, and I could not stand still even for a second.

"Where the hell is she?" I demanded, my voice coming out rough as my eyes moved around the place quickly.

The ground still had traces of blood.

Her blood because I had scented it.

That alone made my jaw tighten so hard that it started to hurt.

Caden was already moving ahead of me, his expression dark and furious as he looked around like he was ready to tear someone apart.

"She was right here," he said sharply. "She could not have just disappeared."

"She did not disappear," I replied immediately, my tone low and dangerous. "Someone took her."

The air around us felt tense, heavy with the same thought that neither of us wanted to say out loud.

Ethan.

Before either of us could speak again, we heard footsteps approaching quickly.

We both turned at the same time.

Daphne.

She looked out of breath, her face pale like she had seen something she was not prepared for.

"Did you see Riley?" Caden asked immediately, stepping toward her with no patience left.

Daphne hesitated for a second, her eyes flickering between both of us.

"I saw her," she said finally. freewebnσvel.cøm

My chest tightened."Where?" I demanded.

"She... she was not alone," Daphne added, her voice shaking slightly.

That was all it took.

"Say it," Caden snapped, clearly losing his patience.

Daphne swallowed before speaking again.

"I saw Riley running," she said, her words coming out quickly now. "And Ethan was with her."

Everything went silent for a second.

Then Caden let out a sharp, angry breath.

"What the fuck is wrong with her?" he snapped immediately, his voice filled with frustration. "Why would she go with him after everything?"

I turned my head toward him sharply.

"No," I said firmly. "That does not make sense."

Caden frowned, clearly confused but still angry.

"She hates him," I continued, my voice steady but tense. "You know that. There is no way she would willingly leave with him."

That thought alone made my chest tighten even more.

"She did not go with him," I added, my jaw clenching. "He took her."

The moment those words settled, the atmosphere shifted completely.

Caden’s expression changed instantly, the anger now turning into something colder.

More dangerous.

"He took her," he repeated slowly, like he was letting it sink in.

Daphne nodded quickly.

"I saw blood," she added. "She was hurt, and he was carrying her."

That was enough.

Caden ran a hand through his hair in frustration before turning away slightly.

"That bastard," he muttered under his breath.

I could feel my own anger rising quickly now.

Ethan.

After everything.

After all these years.

He still had the nerve to do this.

Before either of us could say anything else, a voice cut through the tension.

"Enough."

We both turned immediately.

Our mother was standing there, her expression serious, her eyes fixed on both of us.

There was no softness in her gaze.

Only urgency.

"You two need to stop standing here and start thinking," she said firmly.

Caden let out a frustrated breath.

"What do you want us to do?" he asked. "He already has her."

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

"And you are just going to let him keep her?" she asked.

Neither of us answered immediately.

That alone seemed to annoy her.

"She is your mate," she continued, her voice rising slightly. "Have you both forgotten that?" freёwebnovel.com

I clenched my jaw.

We had not forgotten.

Not even for a second.

"That man," she continued, clearly talking about Ethan "Who was once your best friends has been a problem from the very beginning."

Her words were sharp now, each one hitting harder.

"Even from the onset he knew," she said. "He knew she was your mate."

My fists clenched at my sides.

I remembered that day clearly.

We had trusted him.

We had told him everything.

And he—

"He still went ahead and married her," she said, her tone filled with anger. "After you both revealed who your mate was to him in crescent hollow"

Caden looked away slightly, his expression tightening.

"That was the first betrayal," she added firmly.

I could feel it all coming back now.

The memories

The anger.

The frustration.

The way everything had fallen apart back then.

"That was why you both left Crescent Hollow," she continued. "Because your own best friend stabbed you in the back and took what belonged to you."

Her words were harsh, but they were not wrong.

"And what did you do?" she asked.

Neither of us answered.

"You let him have her," she said, her voice filled with disbelief.

Caden ran a hand over his face.

"He was our best friend," he said, his tone strained. "We did not think—"

"You did not think," she cut him off immediately. "And that mistake cost you three fucking years."

Silence fell for a moment.

Heavy.

"You stayed away," she continued. "Even when it weakened you all of you."

I swallowed slightly.

Because that part was true.

Staying away from Riley had not been easy.

It had affected everything.

Our strength.

Our control.

Everything.

"But you still went back to Crescent hollow," she said.

I nodded slightly.

"We could not stay away," I admitted quietly.

"Exactly," she said. "Because she is your mate."

Her gaze hardened again.

"And now you are standing here again, about to make the same mistake you repeated three years ago?"

Caden looked up at her sharply."What are you saying?" he asked.

"I am saying," she replied firmly, "are you going to stand here and watch him take her again?"

Her words hit hard.

Neither of us answered immediately.

"After everything that has happened," she continued, her voice rising with emotion. "After everything he has done to her, to all of you, are you really going to let him walk away with her like this?"

My jaw clenched tightly.

No.

I was not..

"We are not letting that happen," I said finally, my voice low but firm.

Caden glanced at me, and I could see the same determination in his eyes.

"Good," our mother said immediately.

"Then stop wasting time and go after them."

Caden nodded once."We will find her," he said.

"You better," she replied sharply.

We both turned to leave, but her voice stopped us again.

"And one more thing."

We paused.

I turned slightly to look at her. Her expression had changed again.

Now there was something else in her eyes.

Something serious. Something that made my jaw tighten.

"If Ethan marks her," she said slowly, making sure we understood every word, "it is going to disrupt whatever bond exists between the three of you."

My heart dropped instantly.

Caden’s expression darkened immediately.

"And you both know," she continued, her voice firm and heavy, "you only get one mate in a lifetime."
