Alpha Ryder's Pov__________________________________I, Alpha of the pack stood at the head of the table, surrounded by my most trusted advisors and guards. My expression was grim as I addressed them, and I put the little boy Jacob to stand on the table too as I spoke. He had been in my care since none of his people were around. Emily wanted to know where he was from, but since she had found her mate, I had been acting awkward toward her."I want every female wolf with the name Charia found and investigated," I said firmly. "We need to know the pack she is from and any other information that might be relevant."The guards around the table exchanged glances before one of them spoke up. "Alpha, that's a tall order. There could be dozens of wolves with that name across the packs.""I know it won't be easy, but it's crucial," I responded. "Charia is a name that isn't as common and it might be a clue if we knew the origin of the name to lead us to a selection of different packs and to make
Alpha Ryder's Pov__________________It was ridiculous to know how much effect Charia's well-being had on me. I had been a mess for the past few days. Extremely worried about her health, searching thoroughly for her pack and keeping my distance from Emily who used to be my support buddy.I visited the hospital twice daily and I was certain if there was no destruction during the visiting hours, I would have loved to stay with her during her tough times. Seeing her lay there in a coma hurt my feelings and all I wished was for her to wake up.At this point, I think I needed her scent before going on my daily activities because there was so much peace and comfort in holding her hands and smelling her at the hospital. Such a sweet angel.I have gotten used to talking to Charia even when she wouldn't respond. All I wanted her to hear was, none of these was her fault. Her born wolfless, her parents and pack maltreating her, her mission to slay me, the compassion to save her friends from her
Charia's Pov_______________I opened my eyes to the sound of beeping machines and the sterile smell of a hospital. It takes me a moment to remember why I'm here. I killed myself. My heart raced as I tried to move, but I find that I can't. I'm trapped in a hospital bed, wires and tubes attached to my body.Suddenly, the door opened and a doctor and nurse rushed in, their faces etched with worry. "Oh my God, you're awake!" They exclaimed, so excited.I tried to speak, but my throat felt dry and scratchy. The nurse handed me a cup of water with a straw, and I take a small sip, grateful for the relief."How long was I out?" I managed to ask, my voice barely above a whisper."Three days," The doctor replied. "You were in a coma."I felt a surge of panic at the thought of being unconscious for so long. "Am I going to be okay?" I asked, fear lacing my words.The doctor took my hand, her grip firm and reassuring. "You're going to make a full recovery," she said with a small smile.Relief was
__________________________________Alpha Ryder's Pov______I got home with so much excitement after Charia had held onto me today. Although she was not fully awake I was happy all my words paid off. I had a feeling her spirit was listening, somehow. I just wanted her to wake up.Peter welcomed me with excitement too as I walked into my living room. "Good news," he said. "We found the Melissas"My heart lifted with joy as I tapped Peter's back and took a seat. "Are you for real?" It seems the moon goddess luck shone on me today."We have a total of thirty packs with Melissa as their members and we have a total of ten packs with Melissa as their maid. Since Ice's description goes with a servant, I suggest we go for the maid's investigation first""That is very good. Ten is a good number to work on. What are the pack names?""Okay. Here's the list. Red Moon PackDanri Dark PackClover Howl PackLock Heart PackNight Shade PackMoon Valley PackLitha Moon PackGreen Moss PackBlue Rock
Charia's Pov____________It took me by surprise when Doctor Tessa rushed into my ward and said Alpha Ryder was here to see me. It was very late and visiting hours were over. I had to pretend to be in a coma once again. Why was he here so suddenly?, Did he find out I was already awake?Doctor Tessa set me up again and in a few minutes, Alpha Ryder rushed to my bedside. He spent some minutes burying his head in my lap and sniffing me.I wished I could rub his head and tell him I was fine."Emily found her mate," he said again.It looked like it hurt him that Emily found her mate and I didn't blame him for that. From their childhood, they had always been together and grew to think they were mates, they even had a fan page, which I stalked, of course, just Alpha Ryder and Beta Emily were the talk of the city, the hashtags couple, but now Emily had found her mate. If the press carried the information, that would be the gossip of the whole city."He fucked her in front of me" Alpha Ryder
Alpha Ryder's Pov______________The sun was setting, and the air was crisp and cool. Werewolves from all over the region had gathered in the open field outside my pack house set yesterday by Aunt Hannah for the annual mating ball. The atmosphere was electric, and the anticipation was palpable.As the guests arrived, they were greeted by all Alpha's pack members, who checked them in and directed them to the main event area. The venue was a massive tent, illuminated by lanterns and fairy lights strung across the ceiling. The music was already playing, and the dance floor was bustling with excited singles, hoping to find their mates.At the front of the tent, a raised platform had been erected, where the influential Alphas and his family would be seated. It was an honor reserved only for the most influential Alphas in the region, and it was a testament to the power and status of the host pack.Alpha Lugard arrived early and made way to his special seat, the Alpha, a towering figure with
Charia's Pov_____________I felt better getting out of the hospital or let's just say, I was eager to show up for Alpha Ryder. He let out his feelings to me and the little I could do was be there for him after he saved me. I walked into the mating ball hosted behind Alpha Ryder's mansion. I covered my face with a little veil and truth be told I was extremely nervous to be here. I was scared to see any of my family members here and I didn't want to make a scene or put my life in danger. All I wanted to do was sneak in and see Alpha Ryder.As I walked on the little sidewalk where the party was not mainly hosted , I could see the Alpha platform from a long distance. I didn't want to go into the spotlight where the influential Alphas were, and I needed to get Alpha Ryder's attention also, so I hung around for a bit. After some minutes seeing that there was no way to get Alpha Ryder's attention. I walked into the mansion where I saw Peter and some other guards and maids. I didn't want
Charia's Pov____As Alpha Ryder pulled away from me, my lips were hot and jittery and I had to bite them to ease my nervousness. I didn't ask why he kissed me, I wanted it too. Honestly."When did you wake up?" He asked me "I...some days ago?""What?""I told Doctor Tessa not to tell you I was awake. I just didn't believe you saved me and checked up on me every day""Wait...so you...""Yes, I listened to everything you said to me" I laughed and he chuckled in embarrassment."Seriously Charia, you weren't supposed to hear that" I saw a blush at the corner of his lips which made me giggle hard till my stomach hurt."I wanted to be here for you after you talked about Emily and I begged Tessa to let me come"He paused and looked at me for some seconds before saying. "Thank you" softly."I saw Ice. He's fine, I thought...I'm so sorry I tried to kill myself, I couldn't think of a better solution""Don't do that again. I almost went crazy"You can't tell me any of his words don't affect me
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
