The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 325\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was where Tristan\u2019s hundreds of races on this track gave him an advantage that months away couldn\u2019t erase.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He knew every obstacle. Had memorized this track years ago, could probably navigate it blindfolded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wove through the debris like water, like the bike was just an extension of his body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His Alpha senses let him process everything at once, the position of every obstacle, every rider, the changing grip of the pavement, the wind, and\u00a0<\/p>\n
suddenly he wasn\u2019t just reacting anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was hunting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He shot through a gap between two concrete chunks that the other riders had been avoiding, a space so narrow that Marc actually shouted something behind him, the words lost in engine noise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Tristan\u2019s reflexes let him adjust for every bump, every shift in the bike\u2019s balance, and he came out of the debris section half a bike length ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The crowd was on their feet now, everyone screaming.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s breaking free!\u201d Derek was yelling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Second position with only Vic in front now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The other five riders scrambled to catch up, their formation broken, and I could see the moment they realized they\u2019d lost control of the race.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment they understood that trapping Tristan had been an illusion, that he\u2019d been letting them think they had him boxed in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was studying them,\u201d Orion said, understanding in his voice. \u201cThat whole first lap, he was learning their patterns, figuring out how they work\u00a0<\/p>\n
together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd now he\u2019s using it against them,\u201d Derek finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vic was riding like a man possessed, taking corners too fast, braking too late, desperation making him sloppy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Tristan stayed close, patient, waiting for the right moment because that\u2019s what separated him from everyone else, he didn\u2019t just race with speed, he raced with intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Behind them, the five riders were trying to regroup, trying to catch up, but they were too far back now. The race had become what it should have been from the start: Tristan versus Vic, with everyone else just fighting for third.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My nausea had faded, replaced by adrenaline and something else, something fierce and proud.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was Tristan in his element. This was the man I\u2019d fallen in love with, the Alpha who didn\u2019t know how to quit, who faced impossible odds and made them possible through pure skill and determination,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on,\u201d I whispered, \u2018come on baby, finish this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They came around into the straightaway and this was it, this was where Tristan would make his move.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
1:24 pm P\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 325\u00a0<\/p>\n
The final straightaway before the last debris section and final turn, the place where races were won or lost.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan pulled left and started to speed up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vic swerved left, blocking him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan moved right and Vic moved right too, but I could see Tristan\u2019s head tilt slightly, tracking something.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then I heard it, or felt it, really, the subtle change in Vic\u2019s engine that meant he was about to shift gears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan moved before Vic\u2019s hand even touched the shifter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He shot left, right into the space Vic\u2019s momentum was about to pull him out of, and by the time Vic realized what happened, Tristan was already past.\u00a0<\/p>\n
First position.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The crowd was losing their minds, people screaming and jumping and waving money around. Someone behind us was yelling \u201cI told you! I told you he\u2019d\u00a0<\/p>\n
do it!\u201d over and over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Tristan wasn\u2019t celebrating. His body language was still focused, still locked in, because he knew better than to celebrate before crossing the finish\u00a0<\/p>\n
The other six riders weren\u2019t giving up though. They\u2019d regrouped, working together in one last desperate attempt, and they were closing fast. All six of them in a tight pack, using each other\u2019s slipstream to gain speed, a coordinated final push.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHere they come,\u201d Derek said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan hit the debris section at a speed that made my stomach drop. Too fast. Way too fast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But his Alpha senses were making up for every split second of reaction time, every tiny adjustment, and he flew through obstacles that should have\u00a0<\/p>\n
killed him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A pipe appeared right in his path, someone must have kicked it there earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
