ROSA'S POV "Your new mate is..... Rosa?" Theo asked, shock still very evident in his eyes. What was he thinking? That I'd forever remain beneath him, to be suppressed and humiliated by he and his sister? "Yes." Ryan affirmed. "And if I may ask, how do you know my mate?" "She was a member of my pack, before she met her mate; Andrew Chadwick." Wow. 'A member of his pack'. Just a random member of shadow moon pack. Like we never shared a deeper friendship and connection. Like he wasn't the same person who once protected me from the pack's bullies, and promised me 'Always and Forever'. "Her 'ex-mate', you mean?" Ryan corrected him, making me pray my face wasn't so red from blushing. This unusual side of Ryan was undeniably sweet. "Of course!" Theo quickly nodded, letting out a nervous laugh. "But he was still her mate." He added. Why did I feel like he said that to piss off Ryan? "Ohh...." Ryan whispered, his eyes fixed on Theo, though it was very clear that his mind wa
RYAN'S POV I had tried so hard all day, not to lose my composure and feel a strand of her hair. She was just so beautiful. The see green dress she had worn for the treaty, complimented her figure and the colour of her hair so well. I knew I had been petty towards Ray and Theo, but I didn't feel sorry about it. I knew when a man had his eyes on a woman. Ray and Theo were somehow interested in Rosa. I had been wrong to listen in on Theo and Rosa's conversation, but I just couldn't help it. As he talked, I had listened to the rhythm of his heartbeat, and it wasn't normal. It wasn't fear or anger.... it was excitement. He was excited to see her and for some reason, that didn't bode well with me. Oh, what I would have given to hear his thoughts. I guess my suspicions about Theo were solidified, when I heard him tell Rosa that they were both single again. He sound happy and had this glint in his eyes, that did nothing but rile me up. When he said 'again', did that mean they ha
ROSA'S POV He pulled away from me abruptly, making concern fill me instantly. "What is it?" I muttered, and watched as his brows and forehead furrowed in worry. "Something isn't right. Let's go." He pulled me along with him, making his way back into the hall. It was safe to say that the entire place was chaotic, for reasons we were yet to know. I scanned the environment, hoping to see a familiar face, when one entered my line of sight. She was here too?! "Ralia!" I yelled out, both surprised to see her, and also curious to know the cause of the sudden uproar. I may not have had an idea as to what the issue was, but somehow, I knew that we weren't in danger. "Rosa!" She released a sigh, covering the distance between us and engulfing me in a tight hug. "Ralia, what's happening?" Ryan threw the question at her, not even bothering to exchange pleasantries with his sister. "It's great to see you too." She rolled her eyes dramatically, before turning to me. "Where we
ROSA'S POV"I'm so glad to know that things are just fine between you both, and I'm much more grateful for the gory details you released." Audrey gave me a wink, grinning mischievously. Today made it 5 days since Audrey's delivery. I had successfully convinced Ryan to let us stay back a while, and I couldn't be happier. Blaze was such a beautiful baby, and I had spent a better part of those 5 days with her. She completed me in a way I just couldn't explain, and what's more? She had my hair color! Actually, a shade darker. Almost a redhead. I couldn't believe it the first time it occured to me that she did.Both Audrey and King Logan neither had ginger/red hair, so it came as a surprise that their pup did. I wondered if it was because she was the Flaming Wolf.Ryan and I were to leave for the coldmoon pack today, and I finally had the courage to tell Audrey everything that had really been going on between he and I. The actual truth.My face had gone red when I narrated how our first t
RYAN'S POVRosa and I both walked into the council room. This was the first time she would be present for a council meeting. Luna Amelia and the Golden Height council chiefs were coming to our pack today, to get familiarized with our pack, and also discuss future plans together as an amalgamated pack.The council room was already filled up, and the chiefs were clearly waiting for Rosa and I to show up."Welcome back!" I watched in innocent surprise, as Rosa went into Dean's awaiting embrace."Why didn't you come along with the other chiefs?" She pouted like a child, making him release a hearty laughter. This was new. Don't get me wrong. Dean had always been a cheerful man, but there was always this reserved part of him. These days, he just seemed to let it all out.We had returned to our pack two days ago, but it was today he and Rosa were seeing each other since we returned. Speaking of Rosa, it was so funny that after holding my hand in the presence of everyone at the palace, and
ROSA'S POVI felt myself getting to the peak, as I reflexly dug my fingers into his back. I craved for my release so badly, wanting to have it all already. "Kiss me." I begged shamelessly, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. Just as he leaned in to kiss me, fog filled the entire place, making my heart nearly jump out of my chest in fear. "What's happening?" I asked in utter confusion, and Ryan turned around immediately. The shock I felt when I saw the company we had, was second to none. What the hell were the witch elders doing here?! While we were in the middle of a rather passionate sex!Ryan quickly pulled out of me and stood up, grabbing his robe that laid on the floor across from us. I, on the other hand, pulled down my gown to cover my lower body, feeling Ryan's cum trail down my thighs as I stood up. Just great!I couldn't possibly feel more humiliated than this. The elders all had blank expressions, like they didn't just walk into something they weren't supposed to."I
RYAN'S POVFor the first time in a long while, I woke up with the thought of someone in my head. Rosa.It's been two days since our misunderstanding, and I haven't seen her. She hadn't come down for dinner these past couple of days, and I figured she had her meals taken up to her chambers.Had I been right to walk out when she asked me to? I mean, she asked me to leave! Was I supposed to stay back and try to make her understand why? Did I trust her enough, to let her know all of these things? Moreover, who would be glad to know that she was being attacked by the family of her mate's first mate? Brenda was a chapter of my life that I vowed to never open again, even if everyone had the notion that I killed her unjustly. Even if everyone thought that I was the villain of the story.The only people who knew the actual story, were Ralia, Philip, Beta Allister, king Logan, and his father; Kimg Xavier. I didn't plan on adding an extra person to the list.She claimed that I didn't care, rega
ROSA'S POV "Luna, the Alpha is back! Little miss Alvira is here." Laura informed, and a wide smile spread across my face. Alvira was finally here with us. Ryan had sojourned to the Golden Height pack yesterday, to pick up Alvira. Apparently, king Logan was setting up an academy for offsprings of high officials in the kingdom. I was supposed to travel together with Ryan, but Lily had put to birth two days back, and I thought it unfair to leave her alone to the care of Philip. I had to stay back and look after her. "I would be down shortly." I replied Laura, who nodded in understanding and left. "He would be on another trip to the palace tomorrow." Lily muttered beside me, lightly burping her pup who had his mouth latched onto her nipple. He was such a beautiful boy, and I couldn't imagine having a more perfect pup. "And he would be back, as usual." I shrugged. Ryan was to take Alvira to the palace tomorrow, and enroll her in the royal academy. "The only problem here, i
THIRD PERSON'S POV.~~~~~~~~~"I'm tired Rosaaaa." Lily drawled, looking quite exhausted. "I think we should return to your chambers, ma." Lily's personal maid; Rayna, chipped in."Yeah" Rosa nodded in agreement."Let's go." Lily made to pull Rosa along, but Rosa slowly shook her head in negation, to Lily's disappointment. "I would really love to take another round of walk through the garden, Lily. I would come see you as soon as I'm done.""Sure?" She pouted like a baby, and Rosa nodded in assurance.Having spent a better part of her day with Lily, tending to her hair, manicure, and pedicure, it was safe to say that they hand bonded greatly. Lily was a very easy going lady, with little or no drama.Rosa watched as she walked away, Rayna following her behind. She wondered when she was going to be heavy with Ryan's child as well.She started a new round through the garden, and hadn't walked up to five minutes, when a cold voice made her halt her steps."Fancy meeting you here, Luna R
RYAN'S POV."So, what you mean to say is...... Aliya was Henry's mate?" She asked, looking very shocked. A lot of things seemed to have come as a shock to us today. When Rosa had told us about her conversation with Amelia, I knew something was up between Guildford and Isabella. It wasn't a coincidence. Plus, Isabella's sudden appearance at his castle, was really suspicious. "Yes." I nodded. "And up until now, he doesn't know she is dead.""How is that even possible?" Audrey asked, her brows scrunching up in lack of comprehension. "They are mates, he is supposed to feel it when she dies.""I think it's different because she was first banished as a member of the honourable supernaturals. She was a Rogue." Rosa explained. That was true."What exactly is the deal with this Guilford man?" Audrey glared at no one in particular."The only thing I have been able to piece together in all these...." Logan paused, making all eyes fall on him. "....is that Guilford...." He paused again, lookin
THIRD PERSON'S POV 9 YEARS AGO.Sonya released a satisfied sigh, as the Kennedy staff was officially placed in her hand. She had done it! She was finally wielding the staff of authority over the Kennedy clan, and her joy knew no bounds.She had just turned 20 a month back, and had carried out the third and final cleansing ritual that made her eligible to be power custodian. Just then, her eyes locked with that of her uncle, and she gave an appreciative nod. He hadn't lied to her that night, 4 years ago. He had given his word that her sister would forfeit the position of power custodian, which she did.She didn't know how her uncle had managed to pull that off, but she was thankful to him. She remembered how heart broken she felt, when her mother had accused her of probably harming Brenda. She ran out to training grounds, where her uncle met her.Initially when he had approached her and began talking about how he had been cheated, and not allowed to be power custodian over her fathe
12 YEARS AGO.THIRD PERSON'S POV."I just don't get it." Sonya mumbled. "Why does everything always have to revolve around her?""Shame on you, Sonya." Elsa glared, her eyes holding worry and tears. "Shame on you, once again. Your sister goes missing before her first cleansing ritual, and this is what you have to say? How much more sadistic could you be?!""I am sadistic?!" Sonya snarled like the rebellious teen that she was. She may have been rebellious, but her kindness wasn't debatable. All through her childhood, she always had to forfeit most things she desired or wanted, for the sake of her elder sister; Brenda. Brenda was the next in line to become power custodian of the Kennedy family, after their father; Angus. For that reason, she was the favoured child, over Sonya. When they were little, their parents provided the better things for Brenda, even down to things as little as toys.All Sonya's life, she knew she had great energy within her. She may have been the younger sister,
ROSA'S POV "I am worried, Ryan." I sighed, putting on my dress."You know that I prefer you nude." He muttered, a naughty smile on his face. For a moment, I paused my movements and a small smile broke onto my face."You have repeatedly told me that for the past couple of days.""I won't tire of saying it, until you truly believe that I adore your body." He grinned, making such a touchy subject very light hearted."I do believe." I sighed, a shy smile on my face. Who would have thought that I'd be smiling while having a conversation about this?He stood up from the bed, walking up to me and pulling me by the waist."Oh, my Rose." He sighed, tucking a stray stand of hair behind my ear. "I miss you already." He whined, suddenly sounding like a baby. "Move away!" I giggled, walking out of his hold, when he pulled me into him again. His hands laid on the slightly protruded pouch on my belly. Yes, I was being to show now. It was still a bit hidden beneath my dresses but soon, it will no l
THIRD PERSON'S POV "What are you even saying?" She asked, glaring daggers at the man who had just revealed the recent plot twist in this game of chess he played. "Now listen to me!" He lashed out against Isabella. "You will lay with the Gamma, and have my pup as his! He will become the Alpha of coldmoon, and my pup will be next!" "This wouldn't work! Ray wouldn't look at me that way." "Who says we need him to look at you in 'that way'?" He mocked. "All he needs to know, is that you're his mate." "Are you going crazy or what?" She was slowly losing it. "Ray isn't my mate!" "And you think I can't make him?" Guilford grinned devilishly, making her eyes slightly go wide. "What are you saying?" This time, her words came out as a whisper. "What I'm saying is.... it takes nothing for me to create a mate bond that has never been there. I did it before, and I can surely do it again." "What?" "Hmm." He nodded proudly. "All you just have to do Isabella, is listen and do
ROSA'S POV It was the wee hours of the morning, and I hadn't slept for as much as 2 hours. Ryan and I stayed up late discussing, and didn't realize it when we both slept off. I wondered why I was awake now, considering how sore my sleep deprived eyes felt. It took a few extra seconds for me to understand why. The feeling was subtle, but wonderful. I had never known what it felt like, to have my nipples suckled. "Ryan." His name dropped out of my lips, and a long breathy sigh followed suite. His lips were expertly sucking my left nipple, while his hand gently rubbed in circular motions against the other nipple. I knew that I was undoubtedly horny because the drowsy feeling was gradually escaping me. My hand reached out for his head, and my fingers swept through his silver mane, lightly pulling on some strands of his hair. I began to pant heavily when he lowered himself down there, and began breathing down my pussy. I knew what he wanted to do, and I wasn't disappointed. He ate me
ROSA'S POVI couldn't believe that those words had tumbled out of his mouth. That he loved.... me.He loved me.I was his purpose and his.... Redemption.I was that important to the only man that had ever meant so much to me. "Please tell me you love me too." Came his words, and I felt my heart constricting in painful happiness. "Hooo...." I released some hot breathe, feeling him readjust his weight above me."Please say something." He added, his eyes begging me.At that point, I knew I was saturated. If proper care wasn't taken, by heart might somewhat combust. "I...." I released another deep sigh, feeling that painful lump in my throat. "I am scared that at this rate, I love you too much for my heart to bear." I finally managed to say, as a couple more strands of tears rolled down my eyes. I had been so cautious about being vulnerable to anyone since after Andrew, but I realized that Ryan had broken down my walls. With him, I could exist wholly. With him, I found peace. "Rosal
RYAN'S POV I watched as she sluggishly stepped out of the bathroom, avoiding my gaze. It would have definitely taken so much emotional and psychological will, to do what she had done, yesterday. But more than anything else, I was glad she had finally stood up for herself.She didn't have to say much, for me to deduce the kind of life she had as a growing child. She was most certainly bullied, humiliated, taunted by others. To make things worse, the very man who was supposed to care for and protect her, only ended up being her worst nightmare. Whenever I replayed that seen from her dream in my head, my blood boiled. Seeing her kill that man, had satisfied me in a way that killing him myself, wouldn't have.Deep down, I knew she had set herself free from a lot of emotional pain and baggage, especially after finding out that the same man had locked her powers and killed her mother.Rosa was so strong and my admiration for her had increased, if that was even possible. With how much my h
