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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Ryker- After leaving Taelin’s room, I made my way downstairs to check on what was going on. I knew they would be able to handle getting the rogues inside and set up. Once I was in the basement, I found Leo, standing over a rogue he had strapped to a table. “Why didn’t you put that on in a cell with the rest?” I asked, moving to stand across from him on the other side of the table. “This one is a newly turned rogue. I can’t be sure how long it has been until I run some more tests. It seems as if this one still has some humanity in him. Looking at his eyes, I noticed on the camera Taelin showed interest in this one, so I checked it out. The eyes still look human, but they are in the process of turning.” Leo stated, not taking his eyes off the needle that was in the rogue’s arm. Lifting the eyelids, I saw the rogue did have more human looking eyes than that of a wolf. If this was a new rogue, we might have found our answer to getting a cure. I guess I had been wrong to try to block T

    Taelin-The faintest sensation was moving over the side of my face. If it didn’t feel good, I would try brushing it away with my hand. It was like little tingles leaving my skin feeling energized.Still half asleep, I kept my eyes closed to just enjoy it. I wasn’t sure how long I have been asleep yet, but I was afraid if I opened my eyes the feeling would go away. There was also the most alluring scent in the air, which reminded me of Ryker.I was still cuddling the pillow that held his scent, so I figured that was what I was smelling. Feeling completely relaxed, I wanted to just lay in bed for as long as possible. A soft sigh escaped me as I snuggled the pillow closer.“Open your eyes Tae.” I heard Ryker’s voice.Slowly, I opened them, even though my eyelids felt heavy. Then I saw Ryker sitting next to me on my bed, holding a plate of food and his knuckles gently brushing the side of my face. I had to be dreaming, otherwise, I doubt I would be seeing the man I love in my room right n

    Taelin-Coming to a light jog as I slowed down, I entered in to a walk before stopping. I guess it wasn’t entirely important that I didn’t know who won. It had been a great race and at least I was able to show him I wasn’t easy to beat.“Did you seriously not use your wolf until that last bit?” Ryker asked incredulously when I turned to where he had stopped.“I trained hard not to rely on my wolf. It was hard to prove I was good enough, despite being a girl, to join the Royal Guard.” I explained.Ryker had a look of surprise on his face, but I didn’t understand why it shocked him so much. Many werewolves didn’t always rely on their wolf. Samantha wasn’t like ordinary wolves, so I hated using her as a means to get where I wanted to be in life.Her strength and speed could rival an Alpha wolf. I on the other hand am nothing special, which means I must work harder to prove myself. It wasn’t like my wolf was better than others, just that she was different.What I mean by different is that

    Taelin-Once Carter finished explaining what he needed, he went back to the security room. Turning off the device, I gave my attention to Ryker. “I take it you changed your mind?”“Yeah. Look, I am sorry about last night. I got ahead of myself and thought I knew what was best. I should have trusted your judgment from the start. From here on out you will have complete control over the operation. We can discuss more in the morning about things. Just please be careful out there.” He responded.His expression was stoic, but I could tell by the change in the way his eyes focused on me there was an emotion he didn’t want to reveal. I wasn’t sure if it was because Sara was standing next to us or what. It was good to hear him admit he was wrong though.“I will make sure to look out for her.” Sara chimed in.“I have Ryan on the roof again tonight to help spot you.” Ryan directed to us just as Carter returned with a bag.“If things get too messy out there, try not to worry so much about placing

    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

    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

    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,

    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
