Charia's Pov_______My eyes fluttered and I finally opened my eyes, clearing the blurry vision. I was laying on the bed and I looked around me to see I was home. Ryder was kneeling beside me on the bed and one of his hands was on my breast chest and the other on my hair. He also laid his head on my stomach. He was all cuddled up around me."Ryder" I whispered in my unclear voice and he woke up instantly."Charia" he kissed my lips. "Hey darling, are you okay?" He asked.I squinted my eyes a little bit and pause for all my memories to refresh. My bandaged hand aching a bit. "Yes I am" I softly said. "Where is Delphi?" I asked. I remember that was the last thing I was up to. "Where is Dwight? Did we win?""Why is that the first thing you bother about" he placed my head on the pillow gently in another position. He then frowned. "You hurt yourself""I just need to know if everything is alright. I can't bear to see that we lost and it's all my fault and you have to step down and give your
Alpha Ryder's Pov_____________It felt really good to see challenges be over and to have a nice time doing things I loved, like being with Charia and staying in the library.As I sat in the library and read through the letter Peter sent to me, I chuckled and looked up at him. He was standing before me and had given me the letter to read. "You had to write a letter?" I asked. "Was it necessary?""I have to go through the formal process Alpha Ryder, you know that" he chuckled too."But you're already family, you do not need all this anymore. Walk up to me if you have anything to ask" I said throwing the letter in the bin. "Now ask again, face to face"He blushed. "Alpha Ryder, I would like to ask for your permission to spend the holidays outside town with Melissa. It's nothing serious, I just really need to cool my head off after all that has happened and Melissa requested to come with me because she would be bored over here, not that we like each other or something.

WRiter's Pov____ Many Years ago."Mother, when is Father going to take me hunting too?" The little boy held the hem of his mother's dress."Oh my boy" his mother carried him in her arms. "Your father would take you when the time is right, okay?""Is it because I have not shifted into my wolf form yet?" He pouted."Come on Ryder, that isn't the case. The woods are just dangerous for you at the moment""But Ryker is with father…""Ryker does not hunt with your father darling. Just like you are here, helping me with cooking food, Ryker is there merely helping your father to pick prey""I also want to pick prey" he cried."You will." His mother tried to console him.

Present day.__________Ryker's PoV_____Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the wildest of them all. It is I, Ryker Wolfcup, the evil secret lurking around. Not really around, though.I am the wild one, the ruthless predator trapped within this confining cage. I have been brutally treated and fed with horrible vegetables when all I needed is meat and blood.It would have been less traumatizing if I had someone else with me, like a pretty wild female wolf, one I can plunge and press my body into if I'm having a bad day. Or at least a bed for myself where my body can lay and I can stop crouching but each time my cage was changed, I only get a few inches of bigger space which sucks!For years I have been locked away, my freedom stolen, my spirit weakened. Once a fearsome creature of the night, I have been reduced to a mere shell of my former self.The stink of my imprisonment lingers in the air, a foul, awful odor that clings to my matted fur. I have become the embodiment of darkness, a c
Ryker's Pov_______Maybe Emily's plan was an escape opportunity for me. Nevertheless, the plan looks nothing like a successful job. "They will be back from their honeymoon in a month. That is enough time for me to groom you into looking like Ryder. You are identical remember, it wouldn't take me much work" she explained."And the girl… what's her name again?""Charia""Yes, Charia. How would a wife not know her husband?""That is the purpose of the accident, a silver wolfsbane bullet piercing into Ryder's skin would render him useless for some time. Then we would exchange you both at the hospital, you would go home with Charia and Ryder would come home with me. If you act awkwardly toward Charia, she is going to think the accident affected your brain. A doctor has been arranged for the reports""Why don't you just kill Ryder for once? I can handle shooting the bullet through his skin myself " I laughed menacingly"The purpose is to have Ryder for me and not kill him. With the antidot

FINAL CHAPTERCHARIA'S POV.______________A few days ago when it happened right in my eyes, and I stood there, watching the outcome of the intense battle between Ryder and Ryker, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Happiness washed over me as I realized that the wild wolf Ryker, who had caused so much chaos and confusion, was finally gone. The house was now filled with a sense of peace that had been absent for far too long. My heart swelled with joy at having my Ryder back by my side, where he belonged.But amidst the joy, there was a tinge of sorrow. Ryder had been forced to take his own brother's life, a burden that no one should have to bear. I approached him, my voice filled with so much condolence, "Ryder, I'm so sorry you had to do what you did. I know it was a difficult decision, but please know that I'm here for you, and we will navigate this together."He looked at me with a mixture of gratitude and pain in his eyes, and he squeezed my hand gently. "Thank you, Chari
Melissa's Pov________I felt so delighted everything was over and the imposter was finally buried in ashes a few days ago. But the one thing I did not feel relaxed with was Peter's attitude towards me and then when he invited me for a date to talk about it, I was relieved.Peter had been acting awkward since all this was over and I needed an explanation on why he was doing that to only me. He walked into the private place where our tables and food were placed and I stood in respect. He asked me to sit back and apologized for being late."I'm so glad you set this date up for us" I nervously smiled.Peter and I spent months of vacation together and in my entire existence have never felt or experienced something as sweet as that. It was the best moment of my life and I wouldn't trade Peter for anything."Yeah. I'm glad too" he responded. "I have something to say to you Melissa" his face wasn't friendly and he really looked bothered.I was scared, and my heart beat faster. I had no idea
______The room fell silent as Ryder and Ryker locked eyes, the tension between them noticeable. The air crackled with a mix of anger, resentment, and a deep-seated rivalry that had been festering for years. This was the moment where the brothers would engage in a battle of words, each determined to prove their superiority.Ryker, his voice laced with smug confidence, began, "Ryder, you've always been the obedient one, the one who followed the rules. But you see, being a wild wolf means embracing our instincts fully. Feasting on the flesh of other wolves, tasting their blood, it's in our nature. It's what sets us apart, makes us powerful."Ryder's eyes flashed with indignation. "Being a wild wolf doesn't mean losing our humanity, Ryker. We can control our urges and live harmoniously with our wolf nature. If you want to fully embrace the wild, then shed your human form and go live in the forest."Ryker scoffed, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, and you think you're better because yo
_______Late at night, Ryder changed his mind. After thoroughly thinking about things, he decided not to stay one more hour at Emily's place and so he called for Melissa and asked that they leave.Ryder and Melissa carefully made their way out of Emily's house, staying in the shadows and avoiding any attention. They knew they had to be cautious to ensure a successful escape. As they reached the back gate, Melissa glanced around to make sure no one was watching. Satisfied with the coast being clear, she motioned for Ryder to follow her.They hurriedly made their way through the dark alleys, their hearts pounding with a mixture of fear and determination. Ryder's mind was filled with a whirlwind of emotions as he thought about Charia and the possibility of her being with his twin brother, Ryker. He couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal, yet a twinkle of hope remained within him that everything Emily had said was a lie.Melissa led them to a secluded spot where Emily's car was parked
Ryker's Pov____ ___My mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Charia and the disheartening news I had just received.As I paced restlessly in the room, contemplating my next move, the door swung open, and a maid entered to serve me food.I didn't need any of that. I didn't need any of the things Emily was offering me, I just wanted to know the truth and how the situation was. I dismissed the maid with a wave of my hand, but as she turned to leave, she called out my name, and I heard her say. "Alpha Ryder"Something about her voice struck a chord of familiarity within me and recognition dawned upon me—it was Melissa.Quickly, I turned over to her and she removed the veil she used on her face. "What are you doing here?" I had to ask.She hurriedly locked the door, ensuring our privacy. "What going on?""Ssshh!" She said putting her fingers on her lips. "I'm sorry" she quickly apologized for the attitude. "We need to talk quietly so Emily would not hear us," she said."Where Charia, wh
___________________Ryder's eyes fluttered open, his head throbbing with residual pain from the accident. As his senses slowly returned, he took in his surroundings, realizing he was in an unfamiliar room. Confusion washed over him, and his thoughts immediately turned to Charia. Where was she? He hadn't seen her since he was rushed to the hospital.Just then, the door swung open, and Emily entered the room, a wide smile on her face that didn't reach her eyes. Ryder's gaze locked onto her, desperation was evident in his voice. "Ryder! Oh, my dear Ryder, you're finally awake! I've missed you so much."Ryder said with a strained voice "Where... Where am I? This doesn't look like home. Emily?""Emily... What's going on? Why am I here? Where's Charia? I need to see her.""Ryder, you just woke up, take your mind off something like that""No. I need answers. Where's Charia?"Emily hesitated for a moment, her eyes darting away briefly before meeting his gaze again. She took a deep breath, he
Charia's Pov_____The door to the room was knocked on severally and I struggled to open the door very early in the morning. I was surprised to see Delphi standing in front of me."Some of the elders are here to see Ryder…Ryker. I haven't been announced officially, so you'll need to be beside him for the meeting." She tried to walk out. I dragged her back."Delphi. You know the truth and you chose to stay with him?""Stay out of it""Delphi, you know my kind heart towards you. If you wanted something you know I would strive hard to get it for you.""I already have it. You destroyed my family and I will destroy yours"I didn't need to argue with her anymore. Delphi already made up her mind about me and her decisions. I walked over to the meeting room where Ryder always held meeting with the elders, I met Ryker sitting on Ryder's spot already and it pricked me like a needle.One of the elders started the meeting with a wolf chant and then stated the cause of the gathering.The meeting
Melissa's Pov______After a terrible round of sex with the head guard, he let me sleep and rest in his room as he went to his duty. Yesterday I wasn't able to hang around because he didn't want Emily to see me and ask where I was from and so I stayed an extra night.After I had taken a shower and gotten an hour's rest. I stood up in the middle of the night and walked toward the room I saw Alpha Ryder in earlier. Luckily for me, he was alone. I was careful to confirm his privacy before I stepped in. But I could hear the sound of showers in the bathroom and I assumed Emily was in there. I walked towards him and tapped his skin trying to wake him up. I whispered his name, but he wouldn't hear. I tapped harder looking around so I wouldn't be caught.He turned in his sleep and his eyes flashed a bit. "Yes, yes, wake up" whispered.The shower suddenly went off and I ran out of the room very carefully, leaving the door opened a bit.I cautiously peered through the crack in the door, my hea
______Ryker and Delphi sat outside the mansion, the moon hung high in the night sky, casting a glow over the surroundings. While they spoke and the moon shone further on his skin, Ryker, no longer able to restrain his primal instincts, felt an uncontrollable rise of power through his veins. The moon's influence had taken hold of him once more, and this time, he wanted blood and flesh.Delphi stood beside him, her eyes wide with a mix of fear and disbelief. She had suspected the truth, but witnessing the transformation firsthand was a shock beyond cognition. She watched as he turned into a wild wolf, his growl harsh and scary. There was only one person she had seen this way and it was Dwight. She was overwhelmed at this sight and began to think of what was said to her by Charia yesterday.As Ryker fought to maintain control, he could see the fear etched on her face."Alpha Ryder, what is going on?" She moved away from him."Delphi," he growled, his voice strained with the struggle ag
