Ryder's POV

The music is so loud I can barely hear myself think. The stench of perfume and sweat is so pungent it burns my nose. My body buzzes, and I swear I see two of everything.

I don't know how I let Keith and Eric talk me into this. I hated the idea, but after downing a bottle of Scotch with these four goofs, going to a club in the human town didn't seem so bad. Now that I'm here, I regret it.

“Come on, Ryder! The dance floor is packed with hot human women. Let loose and relax. Let yourself have a little fun,” Eric said as he tugged on my arm.

He grabbed my face and turned my head, forcing me to look toward the dance floor. When he did, I saw the other two fools—one with a long-haired brunette and the other with his tongue down a man's throat.

“Look, there's two hot blondes giving us the look. Let's go,” He said, looking at me as he pleaded.

“I'm going to order another drink. Go drag Keith out there, and I'll be there in a little bit.” I said before picking up my empty glas

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 8 The morning after

    Ryder's POV I feel like shit as I try to wake up and pry my eyes open. When I finally opened my eyes, it felt like sandpaper was in them, scraping against my eyes. My head is throbbing, my muscles ache, and my neck is killing me. For a brief moment, I saw two of everything. My vision slowly clears, and everything comes into focus. When it does, I have no idea where I'm at. The room around me is unfamiliar. My eyebrows furrow as I lift my head and scan the room. Images from last night come crashing down on me, and my heart leaps. “Angelica!” I said excitedly as I turned to face my angel. The only problem was, when I looked at the naked body lying next to me, it wasn't my angelica; it was a stranger. A woman with long, straight black hair and tattoos down her arms, along her shoulder, spine, and lower back, lays completely naked next to me. The scent of sex was strong in the air. Her arousal still lingered, and her orgasm smelled fresh, even though I knew there was no way it was. That

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 9 BFF

    Third Person's POV “I swear you're trying to get fucking locked up for the rest of your life!” Coal scolded, tugging on his dreads in frustration. Maverick chuckled as he grabbed Coal, pulled him against his side, and wrapped his arm around him. “You worry too much about me. I knew you had a crush on me,”Maverick grunts as he tumbles down the hill, which he is thankful is not as steep as it was near the cell’s exit. As he rolls to a stop at the bottom, he lays there for a moment, looking at the sky, before he bursts into laughter. “You're ridiculous!” Coal retorts.“Your underwear is wound too tight. Roll down the damn hill and lay here with me!” Maverick laughed. Coal huffed, folding his arms across his chest. He breathes heavily through his nose before turning and looking around, wanting to make sure no one is looking. When he's sure no one is near, he walks down the hill and lies down next to Maverick.“What the hell am I doing lying at the bottom of some hill with you?”“Beca

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 10 Covering the mark

    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 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

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 65 Monster

    Third person's POV Kyle cried and squirmed as hands touched him in places no one but someone he loved should. His legs have been spread wide open, exposing his most sensitive places to those disgusting pigs.He cried harder when they touched him between his legs, probing his ass and tugging at his flaccid cock as if they could somehow make it hard.Blood ran from his nose just as fast as tears ran from his eyes. The rogue on top of him was furious that he couldn't get him hard. Pain radiated in his face, and for a brief moment, he couldn't hear or see anything. The more they tried to get him hard and failed, the angrier they became. The angrier they became, the more violent they were.The rogue on top was shoved off, and a new one took his place, determined to fuck the Omega senseless.Unbelievable fear soared through Kyle when the rogue between his legs lined himself at his entrance. Kyle screamed as loud as he could and fought back, giving it everything he had in a futile attempt t

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 64 The call of the gate

    Maverick's POV The blood-curdling screams of Kyle had me dropping everything in an instant and sprinting in his direction as fast as I could. Shade pushed forward and growled when he smelled the stench of rogues. It was ridiculous how large these fields were. I was nearly a mile away, but thankfully, I was fast. I looked to my right when I heard Kevin cry out in agony. With Shade’s hearing, I heard the crunch of what I can only assume was a wolf biting into him and breaking a bone. I knew if I didn't help him, they would rip him apart in no time. There were too many to fight without Shade's help, so he pushed forward further. The scent of smoke was faint. I couldn't tell if any patrols were nearby over the alarming number of rogues. I didn't want to risk anyone seeing the smoke coming from us if Shade came forward too far, so he stayed back far enough that the smoke wouldn't be so strong and visible.My long, razor-sharp claws extend, and I growl as I plow through the group of rogu

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 63 Almost done

    Third person's POV Once I had stopped crying, I worked as fast as I could. I wanted to be done so I could go home. I wanted my dad; he always seemed to make me feel better. I plan to tell Kevin there's no need to come back with me. I can handle looking at the samples with Carla and John. I think it's best if we keep our distance. I need some time to get over him, even though nothing has really started yet. I don't know why I fell so hard and so fast, but I did; I couldn't even stop it. Somehow, it just happened. I don't think I could work with Kevin. Being so close to him and knowing he'll never steal those little touches again. Knowing that the kiss that almost happened will never happen. It's too much. It'll be torture to work beside him. I feel excited the closer I get to the woods. The closer I get, means I'm almost done. Taking one sample from the apple trees does no good. That section may not be contaminated. Each section is marked, and we take a sample from the beginning of

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 62 I can't do this

    Kyle's POV I have a good feeling we'll find what we've been looking for in the meat samples. I was tempted to skip the fields, but I'd rather not miss anything. Besides, collecting fruit and vegetable samples is much nicer than collecting meat samples at the butcher. I wasn't freezing, and it didn't stink. I had the warmth of the sun, a warm breeze, fresh air, and a handsome man beside me as company. “So… have you not found your mate, or did something happen to him?” Kevin asked as he closed the lid on a sample jar. “No. I never found my mate. I don't know if he died when I was younger or if I just never had one,” I said with a shrug of my shoulders. “Hmmm,” He hummed as he wrote the sample name on the tag with a sharpie.His question got me thinking about him. I knew he didn't have a mate, but I didn't know why. I didn't know if he had found one and they died or if he was like me and never found his mate at all. I'm not sure which I would prefer. On one hand, if he had already fo
