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

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
Alpha Ryker Chapter 23
Taelin-“Reyes, duck!” The Alpha King called out my last name.Doing as I was told, I slid to my knees, using the momentum of my speed to continue to carry me forward. As curious as I was about the Alpha King being here, my objective was still to get to Ryker. While I continued to slide, I leaned my torso back as I slid between the legs of a rogue.Using my daggers, I sliced at the rogue’s tendons, behind the knees. The sound of a machine gun of some sort pierced through the air. The relief I felt that we had help, was fleeting. I still needed to assist Ryker.Once I was out of the flock of rogues, I jumped to my feet. When I saw the rogues that had cornered Ryker were all dead, I realized I underestimated my mate. Another attack came at me, causing me to need to sidestep out of the way, spinning my body around. Just as I swung an arm out to plant one of my daggers into the scalp of a rogue.When I had the chance, I checked on the other members of Ryker’s pack and saw the files on the
Alpha Ryker Chapter 24
Ryker-“How is she doing?” The Alpha King asked the moment he walked through the door.“She hasn’t woken up yet and her wound isn’t healing.” I answered, without looking at him.I knew it was disrespectful to not stand in his presence, but I couldn’t step away from Taelin right now. When she had been attacked, I had watched it in slow motion. Fear plagued me that she was going to get infected.Luckily, that wasn’t the case, but her wound was deep. She had also lost a lot of blood. I didn’t understand why she wasn’t healing though. This wound should already be healing.“Because her weapons are laced with wolfsbane.” The Alpha King explained it as if it was the simplest explanation.“Why the hell are you giving weapons with wolfsbane to werewolves?” I demanded, not the least bit concerned with yelling at him.“It wasn’t a light decision, but it is effective against them. They might be different than you or I, but they are still werewolves. Do you think I would put anyone in danger inten
Alpha Ryker Chapter 25
Taelin-“Nonsense. I am just glad I was able to make it in time. We need to be more careful out there. I could leave some more of my men here if it would help. I can spare one or two. With the situation now I am stretching thin.” The Alpha King said, making me feel a little better.Except for the fact I had this feeling that asking him to leave another warrior here wouldn’t be a good idea. He was right, with the way things were progressing, now wasn’t the time to relocate warriors, unless needed. I also didn’t want to admit that I might be unable to handle this.After tonight’s debacle, I wondered just how prepared I was. I could handle more than my fair share of enemies, but that had been out of my scope of expertise. I just needed to stop getting distracted and do what I came here to do.“No Sir, I think we can manage. I will do better if we face another threat.” I told him.“I do not doubt it. Just know that if you do need help, there is another pack seventy miles or so south of he
Alpha Ryker Chapter 26
Taelin-“Not really. It was just a dream about the day I learned my father died.” I admitted.“There had to be more than just that. You were kicking and screaming.” The way he was looking at me made me want to throw myself in his arms.“Let’s just say I hadn’t been too happy with my mother. She had kept it from me for weeks. I might have gotten a little theatrical about it.” I shrugged nonchalantly as I rolled onto my side to face him.“Okay, if that is all it was, I will leave you to get some more sleep.” Ryker stood to leave, but I quickly grabbed his hand.“Please stay.” I pleaded.I wasn’t expecting anything from him, although it would be nice. I just didn’t want to be left alone tonight. It was more than likely the wolfsbane that had triggered the nightmare, on top of losing one of my pack members and Shawn all in one day.“I’m sorry, but I can’t. I know you say we are mates, but we can’t be more than we are. I think it is for the best that we keep things as they are. If you want

Alpha Ryker Chapter 91: Epilogue part two
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
