Emily's heart raced as she watched Alpha Ryder regain consciousness. She had been preparing for this moment, steeling herself for the difficult task ahead. The sight of him, confused and disoriented, stirred different emotions within her. She had once loved him, but circumstances had changed, and now she had to protect those she held dear.As Ryder's gaze fell upon her, Emily could see the flicker of recognition in his eyes. His voice, weak and uncertain, reached her ears. "Emily? Where... where are we going?"Taking a deep breath, Emily met his gaze, her resolve firm. She couldn't afford to hesitate. "Ryder, we're going on a vacation," she replied, her voice tinged with both determination and sorrow. "A break from everything."Confusion clouded Ryder's features, and Emily knew she had to tread carefully. She couldn't reveal the truth, not yet. He had to be kept in the dark for her selfish desires and for the sake of Charia, whom he loved. And so, she chose her words carefully, trying
Charia's Pov_______The celebration was put on hold after everyone saw Peter like that. Melissa took him to his room for treatment and I approached the imposter. I knew within him that he was aware we knew the truth already. But we didn't want Delphi and Melissa to know just yet and I also wanted Peter to be fully conscious before I confronted him."What's going on?" He asked full of pretense again.I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. How Peter confirmed my suspicions still gave me a headache. He wasn't my husband? Then who was he?"I saw Peter unconscious. He said you punished him. You should have told me he offended you, Ryder""He was just serving a little punishment""I'm not bothered about the punishment he was serving. But at least, you should have released him to come to celebrate with me"His face seemed a little relaxed. "He didn't say anything else?" He asked."He hasn't been able to speak. I want him to fully recover" I responded. I heard a much from him and he smiled."I
Emily's Pov_________After Charia left the living room, I stepped into the room where Ryker was, the weight of the situation pressed heavily upon my shoulders. The door closed behind me sealing us off from prying eyes and lingering doubts. If anyone fears our conversation this might be the end of the whole plan I orchestrated. This encounter was with danger and unpredictability, but it was essential to maintain control, to keep Ryker from unleashing his wrath. I was glad he had been playing along with my rules all this while, but I would not fail to forget that he was a weird wolf and could turn against the plan anytime he wanted.I met Ryker pacing around the room. Ryker's piercing gaze met mine, with a mix of frustration and impatience. He had been relentless in his attempts to contact me, his continual calls an indication of his growing irritation. I thought I would successfully ignore his calls and messages eventually when I left with Ryder, but I got unlucky. With our meeting u
Emily's Pov_______I walked around the house, looking for Charia, hoping to act according to the plans in my head. I dearly hoped she hadn't traced Ryder's scent to the backyard.When I saw her standing alone in a corner, my heart lit with joy. The weight of the plan hung heavily upon my shoulders as I approached Charia, my heart pounding in my chest. It was crucial to gain her trust, to ensure that she believed my every word. After all I was Ryder's ex, Ryder's fuck buddy, his sex mate. His former -another half. The mask of concern settled upon my face as I carefully chose my words."Charia, I couldn't help but notice that something is wrong with the man inside," I said, my voice laced with a mix of genuine worry and falsified curiosity."Charia I know you might not believe me, but I promise, something is wrong somewhere," I said again, reaching where she stood. She turned over to me with a lot of concern on her face. I could see the worry in Charia's eyes. Her eyes were already swol
Ryker's POV I crept through the hallways, my footsteps silenced and deliberate. The load of my actions bore down upon me, but I was driven by a force beyond reason. A desire to have what I had the last time. An appetite for pleasure.Delphi's room stood before me, at midnight. The temptation to seek comfort in her presence was overwhelming, a temporary peace from the chaos that consumed my reality. Quietly, I turned the doorknob, praying that my intrusion would go unnoticed.As I entered, the room was flush with a soft, gentle light that filtered through the curtains. Her scent filled the entire room and I gulped down in anticipation. I knew it was risky seeing that I was in the same house with Charia, but she already knew who I was and I did not care If any other person thought otherwise. Delhi was sweet and she met my every desire.Before the truth comes out in the open that I wasn't Ryder, I would have all the pleasure to myself. Delphi lay there, her form illuminated by the mo
The morning sun cast its golden rays upon the house, bringing with it a sense of normality that misled the downpour brewing within. Melissa, burdened by the pressure of the truth she had witnessed, braced herself for the difficult confrontation that lay ahead. She knew that Delphi needed to face the consequences of her actions, and Charia deserved to know the truth.Taking a deep breath, Melissa sought out Delphi, finding her in the private corner of the garden. The air crackled with tension as Melissa approached, her gaze unwavering, courage engraved on her face."Delphi," Melissa began, her voice blended with a mixture of concern and discipline. "We need to talk. There's something I saw last night, something I can't keep silent about any longer."Delphi immediately understood where Melissa was heading to.Delphi's eyes narrowed, a glint of unease crossing her face before she regained her composure. She held herself with an air of hostility, as if daring Melissa to continue. "I think
That same morning, Charia restlessly waited for Emily's call. It was already the day scheduled to meet Ryder in the woods and Charia couldn't wait. Her body called for Ryder, her baby, her scent. All she wanted was to see her husband. She needed to take away this imposter from her house.She didn't care if they were Ryder's twin brother, but he didn't come into the house with a proper introduction. He came unannounced, he came as a sham. He touched her without his brother's permission. He was supposed to be here. Worse of it all, he was a wild wolf. He is an implication of the Blue Moon PackCharia's heart raced with a mix of anticipation and terror as she finally received the call from Emily. The moment she had been waiting for had arrived - the chance to find Ryder and bring him back home. Emily's voice trembled with excitement as she informed Charia that they could finally venture into the woods. Charia couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope, a flicker of optimism that they woul
Charia's Pov___________________Before getting to the woods, Peter and I tried Emily's number, but her number wasn't connecting. As Peter and I ventured deeper into the woods, our hearts pounding with anticipation, Peter had already started to doubt our decision of trusting Emily, but I tried to assure him that this was fur the best and we were going to get what we were looking for.We desperately tried to reach Emily, only to find her number unreachable again. A sense of unease grew within me, a nagging doubt clawing at the edges of my consciousness. Still, hope existed as we continued to search for any sign of Ryder, my voice echoing through the trees as I called out his name. I walked around the wet leaves as I tried to find Ryder's scent. I called out his name if he could hear me. My heart filled with excitement and anxiousness to see my Ryder once more.Then, like a beacon in the night, Peter caught sight of a figure amidst the shadows. We started at ourselves first to be sure w
