Chapter 24 | Full Moon Night
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56~Third Person's POV~
It was a late spring night, but there was an unusual chill in the air already. Beta Ryder drove around in circles looking for a parking spot near his mistress's beachfront property. He checked his watch and let out an exasperated sigh. His phone screen lit up, showing a notification from Maria.
Rolling through a stop sign, he took a quick peek to see if she had sent him any more sexy pictures of her. Candles and bubble bath. His lips curled up in a smile, thinking about the glorious night that lay ahead.
After parking his fancy Hellcat a few blocks away from Maria's place, he pranced on the deserted street under the moonlight, humming a cheery tune. A sudden gust of wind had him stop dead in his tracks. He turned back to face the beach.
It was almost midnight, and there wasn't a single creature outdoors for miles. At least that's what he thought when he had stepped out of his car a few minutes back. Then why did he hear a wo
shilpsWho saw this coming? đđ One clue was in the cover picture where sheâs in water. Another clue was that she ran with Maya towards the ocean when Kianâs pack was chasing them. There were a few more here and there. So the west side of the Storm Moon Pack borders on the ocean where the high tide washes away the scent of the victims. Adalyn disappeared into the thin air according to the trackers because her scent wasnât found anywhere after the west end of the estate . Wyattâs palace came with tunnels winding up to the small hidden pathway in the forest that leads to the ocean â¤ď¸.

ONE YEAR AGO ~Wyatt~ I have lost all hopes of ever meeting my mate. I turned twenty-five last month and have begun to believe that my mate doesn't exist in this world. My parents have been forcing me to take a chosen mate for years now, but I have this feeling that she would show up the moment I accept someone else. Tonight was one of those full moon nights where my dad has organized a huge ball for all unmated werewolves to find their mates. Invitations were sent months before the event to ensure that almost everyone who turned eighteen by today would plan well ahead. I put on my best party jacket and got that perfect five o'clock shadow going for a few days now. Spraying a decent amount of cologne, I left my room with a fantastic feeling. Tonight might be the night when I finally get to see her. I scanned the ballroom from two floors up and decided to get laid if none of these beautifully dressed women turned out to be the one for me.
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate   Chapter 26 | Withdrawal
PRESENT DAY ~Nyla~ The moon hung low in the sky as I wiped my last drops of tears and breathed in the moist, salty air. The night went by too fast. It was an hour before dawn, with no breeze and not a sound except the crashing waves and serene brutality of the ocean. I should feel accomplished after leading Ryder and almost the entire Night Walker Pack to their ruin. All I felt was sadness and guilt. I missed Wyatt much the same and didn't feel any less pain. He wouldn't appreciate the monster I have become, neither would he want me to spill so many tears dwelling in the past. He would expect to see Ari safe and happy, and I failed him already. I prioritized killing the enemies over escaping from this place for good and checking if I can take my baby home with me. I was actually too scared of finding out she was just a werewolf who could not survive the ocean. What would I do then? With the pendant gone, I cannot return to the land after this
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate   Chapter 27 | First Kill Ceremony
~Nyla~ "I'll just catch a tiny rabbit for you all, I hope." I heard Rachel giggle nervously while the others told her she will get at least a baby dear and nothing less. She looked like a little fairy dressed in a white traditional robe and wearing a lavender flower headband. The woodland setting and garden arches with twinkling lights and flowers made the entire place look like an enchanted forest at twilight. "Oh yes, Riley! What took you so long? You look beautiful!" "And you look stinking cute!" I pressed her into a tight hug. "Can't wait to see you in your dress once you bring us back a large elk." "Elk it is then." She giggled again and hugged me back. "I know you won't disown me even if I disappoint everyone else tonight." "You will do fantastic and your dad and brother will be proud of you. You are an Alpha just like them, Rae. Don't stress." "I told her the same. Don't know why she wants to hear it from you." Tiana bar

~Nyla~I couldn't erase the sight of him with Zoey, how perfect they looked next to each other. They were both strong and beautiful creatures, probably really horny for each other. There was a weird fullness in my throat that wouldn't dissolve despite the gushing tears.He snubbed me on purpose! Tears burned in my eyes while dry leaves crushed under my shoes as I walked back the way we drove by. An icy wind stung my face and whipped my hair, providing some respite to my burning skin.He's an arrogant, insensitive world-class jerk! Just because women are drawn to him like moths to a flame, he thinks it's okay to---His phone call interrupted my thoughts. As if I was ever going to answer him again. I hated myself for catching so many feelings. He called me a couple of times and then asked Rachel to call me. I switched my phone to silent mode and continued walking.The loud ocean waves were inviting me to just forget him and go home. I would hav

~Kian~Fuck!My brain went numb when her sharp teeth pierced through my skin and she started sucking on my neck. I closed my eyes and gripped her hair as her body rubbed against mine.Rex wasn't worried that my mate was feeding off of me. He was giving me the "Told you... she's not human!" crap.I was too lost in the pain mixed with pleasure to think more about what she was. Within seconds, there was no more pain, just a strange rippling gratification in my chest. I could feel myself grow hard, burning with desire in response to her soft moans.Her flaky skin seemed to heal already, and she was fully recovered within a few minutes. Her hands pressed down on my chest and moved up to my nape. It felt so good I didn't want her to stop, even if it meant she would suck me dry. I was highly aroused by the time she licked my neck to stop the blood flow and stared into my eyes with a look of contentment.Those eyes were glowing golden, glazed over w
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate   Chapter 30 | The Evil Sister
~Nyla~ My groggy eyes widened the minute I opened them. What happened earlier today felt like a dream. All my life I had hated that my kind needed blood. It was more of a necessity to survive for me rather than a delicacy. But feeding from my mate was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was amazing! With the hum of pleasure that raced through my body and, given how good it tasted, I had to fight back the urge to suck him out dry. I couldn't help but blush when I saw he was hard. That sexy look on his face once I finished the best meal ever... it had aroused some deep-seated hunger within me. His heavenly masculine scent that still lingered on my body and the bedsheets made my lower regions clench in longing. I wanted him in my bed again. I kept telling myself I shouldn't want to like anything about him, yet I found everything so darn irresistible about him. All my wonderful thoughts about the awesome sex flew out the window when I heard a knock
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate   Chapter 31 | Overwriting Memories
~Nyla~I thought I had a sexy dream. I was tossing and turning in my bed, unable to catch a wink. The pendant was lying on the nightstand. I hadn't dared to wear it yet. Kian's blood would sustain me for a few days before the withdrawal symptoms kick in again.Walking to the window, I slightly cracked it open to let the night breeze in. Even at almost midnight, there was still some activity down below.Kian was supposed to be back around dinner, but I didn't see him return. As I was drifting off to sleep thinking about him, I heard someone jump into my room by opening the window wider.The whiff of his earthy scent caught in my nostrils as he laid next to me. Wrapping his strong, muscular arms around me, he crushed my body into his broad frame, claiming my lips and nuzzling his head into the crook of my neck.All I could manage was a moan, asking him to keep kissing me and not stop hugging me."You are back to smelling like rain and raspberr

She was wide awake when she heard me, and now she was pretending to have fallen asleep already. I could think of a lot of ways to wake her up and keep her screaming for the rest of the night. But she looked tired. I held onto her tightly, scared that she would disappear.This was a big step: introducing her to my dad as someone important rather than what he called 'a hole to fill'. He was absolutely going to throw a fit and would want me to pick an alpha female from either the White Claw Pack or the Moon Valley Pack. Both these pack Alphas had daughters who were above eighteen.

Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate   Epilogue
TWO YEARS LATER ~Nyla~ DĂŠjĂ vu! It was a beautiful April morning. Maya and I were living the same moment again. We were back in the palace at the Golden Dells. I was pregnant again, and today was the Coronation Ceremony. Dressed in a beautiful purple satin gown, I paced to the bedroom Wyatt and I once occupied. The room was locked and preserved in his memory. Our pictures together hung up on the walls and they tugged at my heart with the same intensity, even after all this time. They say our loved ones never truly leave us. They walk beside us every day, unseen but always near, still missed as much. There are things that death cannot touch. I hoped it was true. I wanted Wyatt to watch my sunny smiles, to know that Ari found the best dad I could ever give her. I wished the new addition to the family to be a boy with Kian's green eyes. Ari was already a daddy's girl. The Moon Goddess gave me a lot more than I deserv
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate   Chapter 35 | In All Its Glory
~Kian~ I drove at jet speed to the venue, praying Nyla was unharmed. While most of my wounds from fighting the Skinwalkers were healing already, the deep gash running down my ribcage seemed to need a pack doctor. A thick sense of foreboding lingered in the air as I reached my destination. Driving my car into the dry and deep sand, I slammed on the brakes when I couldn't believe my eyes from afar. All my pack members seemed to be walking into the ocean like mindless zombies. What the hell was happening? I ran towards them in a frenzy and used my alpha command to stop them. It didn't work. A hauntingly sweet melody had seeped through the air, filling my every sense and demanding me to look at the source of the song. Nyla...! Was it really her? Her face was still the same, and so was her upper body, which was now naked. A ripple of anger pulsed through me when I watched her bare herself to everyone. The speci
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate   Chapter 34 | Hell Let Loose
~Nyla~Rachel wasn't thrilled. She wanted to take a lot of silly pictures with me and her dolled-up friends while we rode in her fancy car. We were instead in a black SUV with boring seats and grumpy guard wolves.The atmosphere was charged. Live music, lots of food, kids running around or taking a dip in the ocean, and adults enjoying their drinks by the beach. It was as if we arrived at some carnival celebration.I tried to push my poison-filled thoughts to the back about how to end their smiles and laughter right away. The power of the full moon coupled with the latent energy of the stone was making me restless."Oh yes! Looks like their boring meeting ended early today!" Rachel said and jumped out of the car when she saw her dad coming out with a few others.Alpha Caine's eyes locked with me as if I was his next task on his to-do list for the day. He was over six feet tall, just like Kian, but with hazel eyes and copper hair. He walked to
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate   Chapter 33 | Torn and Frayed
~Nyla~I took a long bath after Kian left. This past week had been the hardest to get through, and I needed to mull everything over.I wasn't aware it was possible to be this torn between the feelings of love and revenge. While I believe at times that Kian was one of the best things that happened to me, guilt was eating me away. Moving on so quickly seemed unnatural enough, and moving on with the bringer of my misfortunes felt unacceptable.I thought no one was silently judging me except for my subconscious, which was constantly spewing Wyatt's memories to the front, reminding me what a horrible person I was. Then I found another silent judge when Kian said Maya was watching us.It must be Maya. She was probably waiting for Kian to move his pack to Golden Dells so she could get her revenge. She didn't know he had no plans to relocate or if I was even alive. Neither did she know he lived in the Western Cascades, which was quite far from home.If she
