Roxanne has always been the weakling all her life. Her brother rejected her and her mate also rejected her just because she was weak. But what they did not know was that Roxanne was a very powerful wolf whose abilities were sealed off by her mother because she would cause terror if her abilities awakened. Would Roxanne actually kill everyone and cause terror when her abilities awaken?
View MoreCHAPTER SIXTY ONE ROXANNE The next day came, faster than expected and I was more than grateful for daylight. I had given myself jumpscared all through the night, with multiple imaginations. Every sound made me alert. I had no idea if Ryker came back to his bedroom because he wasn't at my side and the empty feeling gnawed at me. Forcing myself out of bed, I pulled on my dress and draped a shawl around my shoulder. My eyes were swollen from crying but they didn't hurt. I guess the ice worked after all.I walked to my room, which was still under investigation. Ryker wasn't there, but his Beta, Miles, was."Lady Roxanne, they need to ask you some questions," Beta Miles said gently, his eyes filled with concern. "But you don’t have to answer if you don’t feel up to it.”"I can't say a word without Ryker," I replied, looking around for any sign of him. The room felt cold and uninviting without him."He's out investigating some things," Miles explained, his voice calm but serious.I nodde
CHAPTER SIXTY ROXANNE I shook my head vigorously as the voice spoke into my mind. “It's you.”The image of Kara's lifeless body falling out of my wardrobe with her head crushed open and her eyes open, flashed in my mind. Blood on my hands. The tears slipped down my cheeks, cold and silent.Ryker slowly wrapped his arms around me, but I felt cold. The blanket wasn't doing any good. I shivered uncontrollably. "It's my fault, Ryker," I sobbed, wriggling out of his embrace. "I should never have pressured her. It's my fault she's dead.”Ryker disagreed. He cupped my face, his eyes full of concern and determination. "Roxanne, it's not your fault. You didn't kill Kara.”"But I did," I insisted, my voice trembling. "I told her really hurtful words– I said mean things. If she hadn't listened to me, she would still be alive.”Ryker's grip tightened, his thumbs brushing away my tears. "You were trying to protect her, Roxanne. Whoever did this, they are the ones responsible. Not you.”I wanted
CHAPTER FIFTY NINERYKERI woke to the sound of Roxanne’s moans of discomfort. She was sweating profusely, and I checked to see if the windows were open—they were. Her words were a jumble in her sleep, but I caught fragments: "I'm sorry" and "Luna.”Tears slipped down her closed eyes. I felt a surge of fear and worry. Why wasn’t she waking up from this nightmare?Suddenly, Roxanne screamed out, "Mom!" and sat upright. Her eyes were wide with terror, and the tears gushed out even faster. I wrapped my arms around her trembling body and held her close, saying nothing. She clung to me, burying her face in my chest. I held her tightly, my own heart racing with concern.After a while, her trembling ceased, and she pulled away slightly. I brushed the tears from her cheeks and whispered, "It's okay. You had a nightmare.”She sniffled and nodded. "How did you know?”“You were talking in your sleep.”Her eyes widened. “I saw my mom and the fire incident that happened when I was young. I don’t k
CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT ROXANNE It was that Monday again. The rain had just stopped an hour ago, but the air remained chilled, the sky dark and menacing. Thunder grumbled in the distance, while lightning occasionally slashed through the grey clouds.I had let my hair down today and wore my favourite black dress with a scarf, hoping to hide my face. Whenever I showed up at school like this, the bullies didn’t recognise me, granting me a rare peaceful day without a visit to the nurse.How I loathed Mondays. And school. I wouldn't be here if mom hadn't insisted. I loved learning, but school was another matter entirely. They were two different things, but my mom was big on education. The only reason I kept coming back was for her. It made me feel closer to her, even if I had to endure this daily torment.Being the Alpha’s kid didn’t give me a free pass. I would've homeschooled like Missy across the street, but no, I was sentenced to this asylum called school. Not just any school, but a scho
CHAPTER FIFTY SEVENKARAI was in the garden peacefully picking flowers for my bedroom since the one I had before had withered, when two of the Alpha’s guards approached me. “Kara,” one of them said, his tone stern, “the Alpha needs you in his office.”Surprised, I glanced up at them. The Alpha rarely summoned me. “I'll be there in a minute,” I said, trying to steady my voice. But before I could move, they grabbed me roughly by my arms and began to haul me away. It felt like déjà vu— like the last time I was dragged by the guards, accused of a crime I didn't commit.As we reached the Alpha’s office, my heart pounded so loud I was scared it would burst right out of my chest. The guards shoved me inside, and I stumbled, falling at Ryker's feet. He looked down at me, his eyes filled with cold anger. “Alpha you sent for me,” I said, my voice trembling.Ryker nudged me with his boot, signalling the guards to hold me down. Sweat trickled down my face as he pulled out a cleaver knife, its bl
CHAPTER FIFTY SIXROXANNE Everything came back to me in a rush. The searing pain of the burner against my skin, the piercing agony of the arrows. Tears slipped out of my eyes as the memories flooded my mind. The voices, so cruel and taunting, belonged to people I didn't know. I was attacked for reasons that were still a mystery to me.Gentle fingers caressed my face, brushing my tears away. My eyelids fluttered open slowly, and I found myself gazing up at Ryker. Worry etched deep lines in his handsome face."Hi," he whispered, his voice soft and soothing."Hi," I croaked back, my throat dry and scratchy."How are you feeling?" he asked, his eyes never leaving mine.I tried to sit up, but my body felt heavy and weak. "Confused," I admitted. "I remembered something... something awful.”Ryker nodded, his hand gently stroking my cheek. "Kara told me you fainted during archery practice. Do you want to talk about what you remembered?”I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart.
CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVEROXANNE Sunlight filtered through the thin curtains of my bedroom, casting soft, golden rays across the room. The light danced on the wooden floor, creating patterns that shifted with the breeze. It was as if the sun itself was gently coaxing me awake, wrapping me in its tender embrace.Birds were chirping outside, their songs filling the air with a happy melody. The rustling leaves outside my window added a soothing sound, like a gentle lullaby. The air was cool and fresh, carrying the scent of earth and flowers. It flowed through the cracked window, making the curtains move softly. I shivered slightly under the thin covers, feeling the breeze on my skin.I lay there for a moment, soaking in the peacefulness of the morning. Everything felt more vivid, more alive.Turning my head, I looked out the window. The light framed the edges like a halo. A bird landed on the windowsill, its feathers ruffled by the breeze. It chirped once, tilting its head as if to greet me b
CHAPTER FIFTY-FOURROXANNEThe evening air was cool but the tension between us was far from it. My heart raced as I tried to process the intense emotions swirling inside me. Ryker had a way of making me feel exhilarated and terrified at the same time.I didn't know if I could trust his words. This was Ryker being expressive and I was trying not to be nonchalant but I couldn't help it.I looked up at him, my resolve weakening under his earnest gaze. “I just don’t want to be someone you run to when things don’t go your way.”He reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair from my face. “You’re not. You’re someone I want to be with because you make me feel whole. You make me forget about the pressure and the uncertainty.”I sighed. “I don't want to get hurt, Ryker. Make up your mind, okay?”He let out a low sigh. “I know what I want Roxanne, I'm not confused.”Yes, I was scared, I was too scared of falling deep– perhaps I had. But I was scared of being really into him and his mate appea
CHAPTER FIFTY THREE RYKER “I don't care about you enough to worry about that. How do I get this across that thick skull of yours? You mean nothing to me. Nothing at all.”I shook my head vigorously, trying to get her words out of my head. I had no idea why of all the words she said, my brain chose to pick the harsh ones.“I'm not mad about that. I'm mad that you're mating with someone else and I'm mad that I like you but you don't see it.”I sighed deeply as I slicked my hair back with a brush. I didn't want to think about her today but her words, like always, were imprinted in my brain.“I hate you Ryker. I hate that you like someone else and not me. I hate that you're cold to me.”Roxanne's confession left me speechless and confused. I didn't know if it was her courage but she definitely intrigued me with the way she took the lead. All the while I had thought she hated me more than she hated cheese but it turned out that she liked me.How long? Perhaps when we first kissed. But sh
