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

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

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 27
Taelin-Today was the day. After three grueling days, I was finally feeling back to my old self. I woke up this morning to feel my wolf. By the afternoon she was already back to full strength. Which meant the wolfsbane was now out of my system and my wound was healed.I had a bit of a scar where I had stabbed myself in the leg, but it was just a reminder to be more careful. Now that I was cleared to return to duty, I would soon be going out on patrol with someone. I wasn’t sure who yet, since Ryker hadn’t been sure if I was going to be ready to go out tonight.Now that I was, he told me he would have someone ready to go with me once I was ready. It was still another hour before sunset, so I still had a little time. For the past few days, I have been working with Carter to track the rogue’s movements.They only came through after dark, it also made things easier to go out. It wasn’t like I could stay out all the time. Just because they haven’t shown themselves during the day, didn’t me
Alpha Ryker Chapter 28
Taelin-For the rest of the night, I stayed outside by myself. I was livid at what Ryker had tried to do. Why couldn’t he understand that by killing the rogues it was also killing off our kind? If we find a cure, how will we be able to cure everyone if he means to kill them all?Each time I took down an infected, I refused to go inside. I took it to the front door and used the intercom to alert them that I dropped off another. Before anyone could come out to collect them, I took off, so I didn’t have to speak to anyone.Maybe it was a good thing I wasn’t a member of the pack. I wanted to scream at how much they infuriated me. Even my wolf wasn’t happy with the turn of events. I did alert the Alpha King about what happened, and he told me to keep doing what I was doing.At least he understood the importance of things. Now it was nearing sunrise and altogether I had taken down seven rogues on my own, without killing one. It has been quiet for the last hour, and I wasn’t sure if any more
Alpha Ryker Chapter 29
Taelin-Returning Ryan’s smile, I tried to ignore the low grumble Ryker did. I wasn’t sure why he was acting as if he was jealous all of a sudden with Ryan touching me. It was after all his decision to not be more than friends with benefits.“I uh, should probably get the ones that weren’t killed inside.” Ryan mumbled before I could respond.His hand moved off my shoulder so quickly, that it was like I had burned him. Not wanting to spoil my good mood, I let it go and turned to face Ryker once more. He looked pissed, relieved, and something else at the same time.I don’t think I will ever understand him. Regardless, even if he drove me crazy in many ways, I was going to still enjoy the time I had with him. Smiling up at him, I gave him a look that I hoped he would see as me wanting to take him up on his offer about fucking me like there is no tomorrow.I was brimming with exhilaration, and I could think of nothing better than to use this energy to have him in my bed. It has been far t
Alpha Ryker Chapter 30
Taelin-Driven to continue, I used my mouth to suck harder, while tightening my grip around him. His hand moved to rest on my back, between my shoulder blades briefly, before moving around to cup one of my breasts. His fingers pinched my nipple a bit, with just enough pressure to cause me to moan around his cock.While he played with my breast, an intense heat built between my legs. As much as I didn’t want to stop, I also wanted more. Sitting back on my heels, I grabbed his hands to urge him to get on the bed. I kept my gaze focused on his, willing him to let me have this control.I was still buzzing from the fight I had and wanted to have my fill of him. When he moved to lay on the bed, on his back, I was filled with joy. Turning so I was beside him, on my knees, I lowered myself to take him in my mouth once more.I still wanted to taste him, but now I could move for more if I wanted. The second I felt his hand move to my rear, a moan vibrated through my entire body. His fingers mov

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
