Chapter 10 Covering the mark

last update Huling Na-update: 2024-11-08 02:34:07
Third Person's POV

Ryder groaned in frustration, Not a single shirt worked to cover the mark on his neck. Not unless he wanted to look suspicious wearing a shirt with the collar up and buttoned to the top. ‘Or wait, a turtleneck midsummer is even better! That would definitely not draw suspicion, would it?’ The retired Beta thought sarcastically as he ripped the turtleneck from his body and threw it at the wall. He shook his head, wondering how he ever thought that would work.

He growled in frustration as he pulled the button-down shirt on then paused and stared at the door… A thought came to him… Ryder slowly opened his door and listened for his daughter. He was sure she was gone, but he needed to be certain. He listened as carefully as he could for any little sound, her heartbeat, her breath, the creek of a floor, anything… He heard nothing. He pulled the door open and entered the hall before walking into his daughter's bedroom. He paused, looking at the little dresser thingy that s

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 11 You were hurting too

    Third Person's POV Ryder went to the fourth floor and turned down the Alpha wing. On the Alpha wing, there's a suite for the Alpha and the previous Alphas Thaddeus, and Reid, along with the current Beta and the previous Beta. Between the two Beta suites are two additional suites for friends or family when they visit. Ryder stops in front of one of those visitor suites where Michael, Asher, and Noah are temporarily staying and knocks on the door. The sound of Noah's weak voice yelling, “Come in,” had the Beta turning the knob, but the door seemed jammed. Ryder twisted the handle harder and forced it open, stepping inside as he pushed the door open. He comes to an abrupt stop when he almost bumps into someone. The Beta's stomach drops when he comes face to face with Lucian. A smile that was on the angel's face vanished in an instant. The two had not been this close for quite a long time. Ryder instantly backed up. He hated himself for the look on the angel's face when sadness replac

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 12 her

    Ryder's POV For a werewolf, especially higher class werewolves like Commanders, Betas and Alphas, the need for training is in our blood. We yearn for it, desire it, we need it! It's who we are. We are fighting machines, and have the urge to spar, train harder, fight, and fight some more… It was weird to be on the training field again. Before Angelica's death, I returned to the pack at least once a week for training. After her death, I stopped going altogether.After training, I was exhausted, but I welcomed it. It took my mind off of her. From the moment my head hit the pillow last night, she was all I could think of. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her long dark hair and smooth skin covered in tattoos. It was frustrating. I didn't want to think of her, or anyone else but Angelica, but this mysterious woman consumed my thoughts. When I went to sleep, it was no better; in fact, it was worse. When I went to sleep, she was there. Her sultry voice lured me in. It felt so real; she t

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 13 Swimming & Drooling

    Third Person's POV His mouth opens, and his head moves fast, catching the grape thrown his way. Ollie falls back against the ground as he exhales. His mouth moves as he chews the grape while looking at the sky.“Do you think we'll find our mate soon?” Ollie asked.“I don't know, but I'm going to vomit if we share the same mate like some twins do,” Leo said as he tossed another grape toward his brother's face, and Ollie opened his mouth and caught it. The very thought of finding their mate, only to discover they share one, which flips a switch, making his brother also his mate, is a disturbing thought. Leo looks at his brother and gags, trying not to vomit at the thought of being intimate with him. Ollie chewed the grape and swallowed it.“Well, that only happens with identical twins,” Ollie said, and Leo stopped chewing and stared at his brother. “You do realize WE are identical twins?!” Leo asked, or more like stated, as he moved his finger back and forth, pointing between them.

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 14 Birthday invitations

    Third Person's POV Ryder sat outside on the patio with his laptop, trying to finalize his daughter's birthday party planning. When she came bouncing out of the back door, he closed the laptop and smiled. Her red hair bounced, and her smile was like sunshine. Time seemed to pause for a moment as he realized how much she looked like her mother. She was so soft, good, and pure, just like her mother. “Hi, my little angel,” Ryder said as he opened his arms and welcomed her in. “Hi, Daddy,” Azalea said as she wrapped her arms around her father's neck. “Here you go, my little lady,” Ryder said as he handed her a basket of birthday invites. She's been begging her father to let her pass them out herself. She thought it would be fun to walk around and pass out her invites. A personal touch! She thought, smiling as she took the invites and kissed his cheek. “Thank you, Daddy! I'm going to pass these out now!” she said excitedly, and he chuckled. “I figured you would want to. Have fun, sweet

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 15 The front gate

    Ryder’s POV I chuckled and shook my head as I watched my daughter bounce off to pass out her invitations. I open my laptop but pause when I feel someone pushing against the link. “Hey, there's someone at the front gate for you. The guard at the gate is new to this position, and he doesn't know your link since you're also new,” Tate said through the link.“Okay, thank you,” I said as I closed my laptop.I turned and looked around before spotting a Delta 1 I trusted. After handing him my laptop, I headed toward the front gate. I was confused the whole way there. Who could possibly be visiting me and not have access to enter the pack? This could only mean that they are not members of the Midnight Moon Pack or any pack affiliated with them. It can't be family, I'm an orphan, and my only friends reside between these three packs. Who in the hell could it be? I wondered as I slowed to a jog and began walking before exiting the tree line. When I did, the gate and guard house came into vie

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 16 Her name

    Ryder’s POV Setting up my daughter's birthday party has been anything but easy. Every now and then, I hear her sultry voice whispering my name in my ear. The desire to see her is so strong that it's driving me crazy.I feel my phone vibrate, and I pull it out to find a message from a familiar number. My heart beat faster, and my thumb quickly moved to open the message.“Hey, Wolfie!” Her message starts, and my lips tug up at her nickname for me. I could hear her voice as I read the message. “I know things are complicated for you, but they don't need to be as complicated as you say. Come see me Friday night at the bar. I don't work this Friday, but I'll be up there hanging out. I hope to see you there.” I sat down, closed my eyes, and breathed out as I rested my forehead against the edge of the phone. I pulled the phone back, and my fingers began moving as I typed my reply. “I'm sorry! I don't think this is a good idea. I think it's best if you forget about me. You're a beautiful l

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 17 Poisoned

    Third Person's POV Vanessa exhales as her back hits the bed. Her hands rest above her head as she stares at the ceiling. She doesn't like the feelings she has at the moment. Why did his words hurt? She wondered. Why did the way he grabbed her hurt the way it did? It's not like it hurt her. She's a vampire, an old and strong one. He would have to do much more than a firm grip to hurt her. “Aero,” She whispered, and after a few moments, his dark mist swirled on the bed next to her before he appeared. The elder appeared, laying on the bed beside her, and he turned to face her, popping his head on his hand. “Mmm, not a look I'm used to seeing on you,” Aero said when he saw the sad look on his friend's face. “Yeah, and I'm not used to feeling it! You know, I got that stupid job at the human bar because I was bored and needed entertainment. For the past 3 years, I have gotten my fill of entertainment from that place! Everything was perfect until HE showed up!” Vanessa said, and the Eld

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 18 A birthday party

    Third Person's POV The day is bittersweet. Ryder watches his daughter on her 18th birthday as she mingles with family and friends. Everything is almost perfect. There's only one thing missing—one person who means the world to Ryder and Azalea: Angelica. It's been just a little over two years, and it still hurts like hell that she's not here. He wishes more than anything that when he scanned the party, his eyes would land on her beautiful face. He wishes he could see her smile, hear her laughter, look into her beautiful eyes, and smell her beautiful scent. He wished he could feel the warmth of her skin and the tingles dancing under his fingertips when he touched her. He wished he could feel her light; it was so strong. He could feel it from across the yard when she was in her garden, and he was cutting wood. He wonders if she's up there looking down on him and their daughter. He hopes she is at the very least, watching their daughter grow. He hears his daughter's laughter, blinks hi

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 74 Other Details

    Kyle's POV My parents were gone by the time we came out of my room. It was kind of nice to have the entire apartment alone. It made me realize that it's time to move out. Unlike higher ranks who move out as soon as they turn 18, Omegas tend to stay at home with their parents until they find a mate. Higher ranks desire and thrive being alone, but Omegas don't. It's lonely and depressing. We thrive with the company of others. We need that interaction and affection. Without it, we become depressed, our health declines, and we become weaker. The thought of moving out and living with Kevin sent a whole new wave of excitement through me. I couldn't stop talking as I moved throughout the kitchen, preparing our lunch. I was talking to Kevin about one thing, but my brain couldn't stop thinking about living with him. I began to wonder if this is what it'll feel like every day. Him sitting there at the counter watching me while I prepared our meals. That thought sent another wave of exciteme

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 73 This is real

    Third Person's POV Azalea steps out of the bathroom, refreshed with clean panties. She finds Maverick lying on the bed with his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling. The familiar scent of smoke fills her nose the closer she gets to the bed. Her heart clenches, and she exhales when she sees fire burning in his eyes. She knew she could wave her hands in front of his face, and he wouldn't see them. Whatever he is thinking about, that's where he is, and all he sees.She sighs before crawling onto the bed and lying down on top of him. Her hand rested on his face, and his eyes rapidly blinked, pushing whatever he was thinking of out of his head and coming back to her. When his eyes land on her, he feels guilty. She looks sad and concerned. He couldn't help it. The gate is constantly calling to him, and when she's not there, it becomes louder and consuming. “I'm sorry, my little angel. I will tell you when the time is right,” He said softly, and his head lifted off the pillow a

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 72 The call of the gate

    Third Person's POV Azalea presses her lips into a thin line as she looks from her book and watches her mate. He's been different since he came back from Mike's pack. He seems distant and always lost in thought, just as he is now. The book he was reading rested in his lap as he stared out at the sky. She wishes she knew what he was thinking. Every time she asks, he tells her nothing and says he was just zoning out. She can tell it was a lie. The way he looks when he's staring off into space, she can tell he's deep in thought. The way his muscles twitch around his eyes, and the way, at times, she can see fire swirling in those eyes. She's even caught the faint scent of smoke rolling off of him once or twice. “Is everything okay?” Azalea asked when Maverick set his book down and stood. “Yes, I just need some air,” Maverick said, kissing her head and stepping onto the balcony. Maverick takes a deep breath in through his nose to clear his senses. He places his hand on the railing and

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 71 Meant to be

    Third person's POV “Mine!” Kyle whispered through tears, and Kevin's heart soared. He had dreamed of this moment for over 16 years. When the Omega walked into his lab almost a week ago, he was struck by his beauty. His creamy pale skin was flawless, and his green eyes stood out against it. The way his dark chocolate hair had a slight curl and rested against his forehead made his light green eyes stand out even more. There was something about the Omega that drew him in. The more he got to know him, the harder he fell. He wasn't just a beautiful Omega. He was incredibly smart and intelligent. He had a smile that could light up the room, and the way he constantly blushed in his presence drove his wolf wild. He stumbled over his words so cutely and squirmed under his gaze. At first, Kevin thought it was simply an Omega reaction to his rank and position. He never thought this amazing little Omega who belonged to the royal family would ever be interested in him, but he was. The Delta 1 m

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 70 Hidden

    Kyle's POV My cheeks felt hot as I turned to look at Kevin, but I melted when I saw the smile on his face. His hand again touched my face, but this time, instead of watching his fingers, he watched me, as if looking for my reaction to his touch. His touch felt amazing, and I closed my eyes and leaned into it. “I don't know what to think. You kissed me. You took my first kiss, but then said you couldn't do this. I don't want to hurt you, but you're hurting me,” I said once the back door shut behind Lucian as he stepped inside to grab lemonade.I swore I heard Kevin's heart skip a beat when I spoke. I looked up, wanting to look at him to see if I could figure out which part of what I said had caused that. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell. His eyes rapidly moved across my face with a greater look of wonder.“I… Y-you've never kissed anyone before?” He asked, and I felt my cheeks become warm. Of everything I said, that is what he got stuck on and caused that reaction…I looked down and sho

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 69 I can't do this

    Kyle's POV I could tell my parents wanted to know the extent of my assault but were afraid to ask, and I'm glad they didn't. I don't like to think about it, let alone talk about it. At times, I can still feel their disgusting hands on me, touching in places they shouldn't have. I can feel the rogue between my legs, and it makes my skin crawl. I woke up screaming last night and scared my dad. I hated seeing the sadness in his eyes and the look that told me he knew all too well what I was experiencing, and he did. They wanted me to take the day off, but I didn't want to. Work is therapeutic for me, and I love what I do. I didn't stop by his room this morning to walk into work together like we usually do. I wanted some time alone with my thoughts and hoped to finish some work before he showed up. I know it'll be hard for me to focus on anything but him once he does.I was nose-deep in work when the door opened, and Kevin walked in. I didn't lift my head right away, but when I did, I r

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 68 I think it's best

    Kyle's POV I woke up to the sound of a TV quietly playing and fingers combing through my hair. Kevin's scent was strong, and I didn't smell the sterile scent of a hospital room any longer. I hummed as I nuzzled against him before opening my eyes to look at my surroundings. His hand moved to my back as I opened my eyes and looked around. When I did, I realized we weren't in the hospital room where I fell asleep; we were in his bedroom at the packhouse.I lifted my head to look at Kevin, and his hand moved to my cheek, caressing it as his eyes swept over my face. “You're finally awake,” He said softly, his eyes landing on mine and causing my heart to flutter before beating faster.I couldn't believe I was in his bedroom, in his bed, and in his arms. I wanted to pinch myself. It had to be a dream! “I-I am… how long have I been asleep?” I was confused. How did we get here? I can feel his broken arm against my back, and I don't feel the cast. When did it come off? Where's the swelling

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 67 Wanting him

    Kyle's pov “Don't worry, his wolf is strong. He was already healing him by the time the other doctor and I began working on him after the x-rays. He lost a lot of blood, but by the time we were able to get blood into him, he only needed 1 liter. We were able to fix his arm. His wolf is quite impressive. While we were setting the bones, he was trying to heal them. He's in a cast. At the rate his wolf is healing, it should be able to come off tomorrow. He has stitches on both of his sides and his back. His body will probably push them out by tonight as he finishes healing. If there are any stitches remaining when he comes in to have his cast removed, we'll remove those, too. Don't worry; he'll be okay. For the wounds he sustained, he's doing great!” The doctor said before leading the Alpha away to talk to him privately. I didn't waste another second; I raced into the room and had to stop myself from leaping onto the bed with him. My chest tightened when I saw Kevin lying in a hospit

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 66 A moment alone

    Kyle's POV I sprinted out of the woods; my body still ached, even though most of the external wounds were healed. As soon as I cleared the tree line, I saw Kevin limping toward us. I don't know what it was about seeing him, but everything that happened and almost happened came flooding back, and the emotional toll of it all broke free, hitting me like a ton of bricks. My lip trembled as I struggled to keep my emotions under control, but it was harder than I thought, and tears immediately rolled down my face. I saw the relief on his face, and when he said my name and tried to hobble faster, the dam broke, and I began crying as I ran faster. I was careful not to knock him over, but still collided with him. His good arm immediately wrapped around me, and his head dipped to my neck. His body froze before trembling… He must have smelled them all over me. One of them jacked off and came on me as the others tried to get me hard and rape me.“I'm sorry! I… I couldn't get away. I-I tried to
