Orc Rider’s Oath: Loyal Lieutenant Faces Duty Versus Desire When Forbidden Bond Forms

Garrak Thul doesn't bend. Not for anyone.

The Ironjaw Riders hold the mountain seams together - literal fractures where reality splits open and bleeds. As the club's lieutenant, Garrak patrols those glowing rifts with one rule locked in his chest: no human from the overlap zones. Ever.

Then Elena Voss walks too close to the wrong rift.

She's a researcher. Calm under pressure, sharp enough to cut. The fluorescent glow of the seam catches her face, and something shifts in Garrak that he can't walk back. She isn't afraid of him. That's the problem.

What starts as stolen glances hardens into something neither of them can name. Tension building in small rooms, in quiet moments, in the weight of what goes unsaid. Garrak knows the cost. He's bled for this brotherhood. Carried its rules in his bones for years.

But Elena has gotten under his skin, and the bond pulling him toward her isn't asking permission anymore.

When a dangerous surge throws them together, his restraint finally breaks. The possessive orc bond doesn't ease in slowly. It lands like a fist.

Claiming her could cost him everything - his rank, his brothers, the life he built inside these mountains.

Can a man defined by loyalty choose the one thing his code was written to forbid?

***

In a world where reality fractures and monsters ride the fault lines, one orc will meet the woman who changes everything.

A century ago, a near impact from a rogue meteor warped Earth’s orbit and fractured reality into unstable overlap zones. In a hidden mountain town built over one of those fault lines, the Orc Rift Riders, a biker club of exiled orcs, ride the seams to keep the world from tearing open.

They were made for a heavier world. Stronger. Harsher. Unforgiving.

Here, they do not belong.

But when each orc claims a human woman who refuses to break under his weight, everything changes. Loyalty turns possessive. Protection turns primal. The most dangerous creatures in this fractured world begin to discover something they were never meant to have.

A reason to stay.
