Alpha Ryker Chapter 15
Taelin-The moment we were outside, I took in a deep breath. It was nice being outside in the brisk morning air. Okay, so it wasn’t exactly early morning, but it still felt like it was extra fresh this morning. It was different than being on the top of the roof, being that the air was thinner.I expected Ryker to say something, at least give me an idea of what we were doing, but no. He just started checking the cameras near the front door. While he did so, I kept my attention on our surroundings.By the third camera, on I didn’t sense any danger. Not letting my guard down, I remained vigilant. I tried not to let my thoughts stray from what I was doing, even if Ryker was blatantly ignoring me. Was the only reason he had me come outside with him to watch his back?I couldn’t complain, considering it was my duty as a member of the Royal guard. A fact I couldn’t allow myself to forget, regardless of how much this man got under my skin. Although, I was unable to deny that it bothered me ho
Alpha Ryker Chapter 16
Taelin-Before I could react or do anything, Ryker grabbed my wrist and pulled me into what I believed was his office. He didn’t release me until we were both inside and he closed and locked the door behind him. Stepping back, I was having a challenging time not getting annoyed with how he manhandled me.“What in the actual fuck?” I knew I raised my voice but didn’t care.“I don’t want to alarm anyone. My office gives us the ability to speak freely without anyone hearing us. I need this to stay between us for right now, hopefully, no one overheard us or knew what happened. The last thing we need to do is upset anyone or cause anyone to become worried. We work so well here because we can remain calm. This, on the other hand, it would not bode well.” Ryker explained, unmoved by my reaction.“That doesn’t give you the right to treat me like that.” I glared at him, before readjusting my anger and speaking more reasonably. “While I understand your need to keep things low-key, I’m not entir
Alpha Ryker Chapter 17
Ryker-No matter how hard I tried to figure Taelin out, I couldn’t comprehend why she got under my skin. It wasn’t like she was my mate, considering I couldn’t have a mate. I had even tried to mark a chosen mate once since a pack is only as good when both their Alpha and Luna are strong.The moment I had marked her though, her life slowly drained from her body. She had been a strong member of my pack and while I never thought much of her than a potential Luna, her death hadn’t sat well with me. That was when I truly knew I was cursed.So why did being around Taelin make me want to find a way to break my curse? It wasn’t like I completely liked her. She pissed me off in ways that I was surprised I haven’t tried to rip her throat out.Being around her, not only calmed me, but I could tell my wolf was calmer around her. The moment I thought she was dead something changed inside of me. From the moment I met her, I wanted nothing more than to send her on her way.Now, I hated the idea of h
Alpha Ryker Chapter 18
Taelin-As Ryker held me, I felt this sudden need to tell him the truth. I had my doubts that he would respond the way I wanted him to, but the way he was acting right now made me wonder if I was just being silly. He was so tender and caring, that I just wanted to tell him everything that was bothering me.With the way things are now progressing, this might be the only chance I will have to tell him that he is my mate. As I debated on what to do, I welcomed his warmth and leaned into him while he gently stroked my hair. One thing I knew for sure, he was far from the jerk that I had thought him to be.“I wish I could take away your pain, but we need to figure out what is out there so we can find a way to go outside. If they are targeting human territories, we will need to load up on more supplies.” Ryker interrupted my thoughts.As much as I hated to break this moment we were having, he was right. My thoughts of telling him the truth was going to have to wait for now. Soon though, I kn
Alpha Ryker Chapter 19
Taelin-In a split second, once Ryker was no longer in the second beast’s way, it rushed toward me. Pinned between it and the car, I had nowhere to go. I knew this was it, I was going to die.Looking around, I tried to look for my dagger, but I couldn’t see it. What had I been thinking to come out here and try to face these creatures? Just one blow to them and I injured myself. If I had used any other part of my body, I could have done worse than dislocate it.Just then the beast staggered back as it tried to claw at its own back. As the beast turned, I realized that Ryker had my dagger. He had jumped onto the back of the beast and had my dagger buried to the hilt in its back.Taking the chance I was given, I quickly fixed my leg, trying not to scream out in pain. Once I felt like I could get back on my feet, I got up and started forward to help. Only to stop as I remembered something.Returning to my car, I opened the back door and located a tranquilizer gun. Pulling it out, I checke
Alpha Ryker Chapter 20
Ryker-Rushing to Taelin’s side, I pulled her into my arms and held her close. When she had gone off on her own, I had thought the absolute worst. It only intensified when I saw the large rogue jump off the building to run to the woods.I wanted to yell at her for behaving as she had, but I was too overwhelmed with emotions at seeing her alive. I did my best to cover her naked body from the other males from seeing, while at the same time I didn’t care. She bombarded me by saying she was my mate, then left without giving me time to process it.“I am fine.” Taelin’s soft voice filled my ears, nearly making me tear up.Without a word, I pulled my shirt off and helped her into it. Once she was covered, I lifted her into my arms. I knew she could walk, but I needed her close, as did my wolf.Neither of us believed she was our mate, but at this moment, I didn’t care. Besides, even if she were my mate, there wasn’t anything I could do about it. If I marked her she would only die.By the time
Alpha Ryker Chapter 21
Taelin-“My brother is clear to come out of the basement today!” Sara burst into my room without knocking.There was so much joy on Sara’s face that I couldn’t even be remotely upset with her. Setting down the laptop I was using to try to locate the third beast, I smiled up at her. She rushed to sit on the foot of my bed, as I was sitting in the chair.“I am so happy to hear that.” Moving to the edge of the chair, I gave her my full attention.“Taelin, I can’t wait for you to meet him. I know you will like him. He can be a bit quiet at times, but he is such a good guy.” Sara bounced off the bed as if she couldn’t keep still.For the first time in what I felt like was forever, I felt utter happiness at seeing her like this. I barely knew her, yet I already felt a strong bond with her. It could be because she was the only female here, but I didn’t care.“I can’t wait to meet him too.” I told her as I watched her practically jumping around my room.“Come, let’s go celebrate. We still hav
Alpha Ryker Chapter 22
Taelin-“We know very little about what we are up against now. I need everyone to be paired up and stay with their partner at all costs. This is the first time we have gone out as a large group. We need to be prepared to get attacked even in human territory.” Ryker began as soon as everyone was gathered.“Four of you will be designated shifters, while the rest stay in human form. If you need to shift, you are permitted, but there needs to be at least two that do not shift at any cost.” Ryker looked between everyone that was gathered before continuing.“Sara and Leo will team up. Being the two of you are related, you both have a greater bond with each other. The same goes for Julian and Ryan.” He said then stopped talking again as he looked between the others.Ryan Drake, Julian’s twin brother. This was the first time seeing Ryan, other than the picture of him in the folder I had on him. Seeing them stand side by side, it was hard to tell them apart, other than the noticeable scar abov

Taelin-“If we would have known you were going to take this long to join us, we would have just started the party without you.” Theo teased us when we entered the large dining hall, where we were having the party.“Can’t have a birthday party without the birthday boy.” I stuck my tongue out at him as I led R.J into the room.He has been walking on his own for nearly a year now, but I still held his hand because he had a tendency to run off on his own also. Between everyone that lived here and the staff, he could be a handful at times. I blamed his father though because there was no way I had been this wild as a child.My mother disagrees with me, but I will deny it. Laughing to myself, I didn’t get extremely far before my mother pushed through the others to make her way toward R.J. Speak of the devil and she shall arrive.That is the way it has been here lately. Any time I so much as think of my mother, she shows up out of nowhere. I was beginning to think that she had radar detection
Alpha Ryker Chapter 90: Epilogue part one
Taelin-“What are you thinking about?” Ryker whispered in my ear as he wrapped his arms around me from behind, while I looked over the balcony from our room.From this view, I could look over the town where the Palace resided. There wasn’t much, other than a few houses where the staff of the palace lived. Everyone that lived inside the Palace were warriors and those training to become warriors.I never thought much about the life that everyone that lived here had until I came here, not as a sixteen-year-old girl training to join the Royal Guard, but as the current Alpha King. It was still weird that I was referred to as an Alpha King. I was the first female to take on the role as Alpha, but I felt like the title should remain as it has always been.Placing my hands on his arms, which were embracing my shoulders, I leaned against his broad chest. “I was just thinking back to when I first came here. I still can’t believe that it has been more than five years since I showed up here with
Alpha Ryker Chapter 89: Respect Earned
Taelin-When the start of the battle commenced again, I took a deep breath. I might have lied about my lung, but I wasn’t entirely sure. All I knew was I was still capable of fighting, even if I felt like all the air inside of me was being sucked out and my lungs felt like they were on fire.What I told Ryker was true, however, I wasn’t going to last another ten minutes. I either needed to end this now or let him take me out. I had been playing it safe as much as possible. His movements were fast and just one hit from him was enough to knock me on my ass.Running around and dodging him wasn’t doing me any good because every breath I took was painful. The more I tried to get away from him, the more likely I would get injured. Regardless of if I was working with less lung capacity or if I was just winded, I knew it would be a matter of time before I passed out from the exertion.I had felt that the Beta had tried to speak to me telepathically, but I still had my mind blocked from anyone
Alpha Ryker Chapter 88: Turning Tables
Ryker-I had been watching the timer and neither had moved for seven minutes. Taelin looked regal in her stance, like she was completely in her element. The Beta had seemed unwavering, until just moments before he made the first move.At first, I thought something was wrong because they both stood out on the field without moving for a long time. The second the Beta made the first move, I held my breath and waited to see what would happen. It wasn’t that I didn’t support my mate in this, but the fear was still there.“About time.” I heard someone say sarcastically from behind me.Without looking, I felt Ryan turn around, more than likely to make a comment to whoever spoke. Reaching my hand out, I placed it on his arm firmly. This was Taelin’s fight and there was no point in anyone trying to talk others out of what they were feeling.“Don’t. Words won’t do any good. Let Taelin show everyone what she is capable of.” I spoke, without taking my eyes off my mate.Ryan sighed and faced forwa
Alpha Ryker Chapter 87: Battle Begins
Taelin-I thought I was ready for this, but now that I was standing in the middle of the arena, surrounded by onlookers, I suddenly became nervous. The Beta of all the werewolves still wasn’t here, but I had arrived a little early. After watching the last video of the Beta’s fighting skills, I quickly got ready.I figured if I arrived before anyone else, I would have a chance to get a little time to meditate. Upon arriving though, I saw many others had already arrived. The crowd was a lot larger than I expected it to be.Frank informed me that many people that had been relocated here from safe houses wanted to see if I was capable of becoming the next Alpha. Ryker was standing next to me, wanting to show his support as we waited. The whispers of the crowd were loud, making me wonder if it was done on purpose.“There is no way she can defeat our Beta. She is just a girl. Look at her, she is tiny.” A male voice from the crowd said, his voice a little over a whisper.“She is cute though.
Alpha Ryker Chapter 86: Getting prepared
Ryker-Taelin seemed prepared to fight with the Beta, but I wasn’t ready for it one bit. I don’t know what she was thinking by agreeing to let him shift. It wasn’t a sure thing if she could shift or not, but there hasn’t been a she-wolf that could, while pregnant.Wanting to give Taelin a bit of space to get her mind right, I have kept myself busy helping Leo. Today was the day Taelin would be facing the Beta in the arena, but there were still hours before it was scheduled. For the past three days, I have helped him fast-track distribution.We were almost done, but we needed a little more of Taelin’s blood. Since she was getting ready to fight, I wouldn’t allow Leo to take anymore until after. I am sure that if she knew we needed it, she wouldn’t hesitate, which is why I told him to stay away from her.The last thing I wanted was for her to ask how things were going and for him to end up telling her. She was more worried about others than she was about her own self, which was both ann
Alpha Ryker Chapter 85: The Challenger
Taelin-In the last few days, we have only had a few run-ins with rogues. There hadn’t been many, so we were able to cure them and relocate them to the nearest safe house. I also felt much better, and my mind was more clear than it had been.It helped that I managed to do a little meditation. Which, I have also learned that I would more than likely need to continue a daily meditation when able. It not only allowed me to focus and ground myself to what I needed, but I was able to learn to control the intensity of feeling everything I did.It wasn’t perfect and sometimes it could be a little overwhelming, but I managed to get it under control. It helped that Ryker stayed near me. It was like he could sense when I was uneasy. His touch helped calm my mind as well, although I was fairly sure it was because of the mate bond.I also had plenty of time to think and get a grip on things. A few days of mostly silence and more than enough time to think did help a lot. I started to come under th
Alpha Ryker Chapter 84
Taelin-“How are you feeling?” Ryker asked after I finally moved into the seat next to him.I would have stayed on his lap for the entire journey, but I had become slightly uncomfortable from being cramped in a vehicle for so long. It was now nighttime, but we chose to continue driving. The further we got, the faster we could arrive at the palace.“Other than needing a shower and a little sleep, I feel good.” As I spoke, I leaned against him, using his shoulder as a pillow.“Is there a safe place we can pull over for the night?” Ryker asked Frank, who was now driving.“There is no need. Really, I am fine. I can sleep here.” I attempted to argue, knowing that the more we stayed on the road, the faster we would arrive at our destination.“There is a safe house not far from here.” Frank answered, completely ignoring me.Sitting up, I tried to wipe the sleepiness out of my eyes. It was more than likely from the stress of the day and now that I could feel every werewolf. It wasn’t too bad,
Alpha Ryker Chapter 83: A new Alpha rises
Taelin-Time had slowed down for a moment, but when it sped back up, everything happened so quickly. One moment I was standing, looking at Ryker, the next I was being blown back, with a heavy object landing on me. Dazed by the blast, it took me a moment to realize that I was still alive.My ears were ringing, and I could feel something wet coming from my ears. Every part of my body ached, and it was difficult to breathe. There was a body lying on top of me and I didn’t have the strength to push it from me.Instead of trying, I simply lay there believing I was dying. I realized the moment it happened that I was going to die, I just wished it would have been instant. Tears blurred my vision at the thought of leaving Ryker behind and not getting the chance to hold the baby I carried.I should have been more careful and not so thoughtless. Because of my actions, I would hurt Ryker in the worst possible way, not to mention that the cure would die with me. Hopefully, Leo gathered enough of
