Alpha Ryker Chapter 78: Moving Forward
Taelin-We sat in silence for a while, until I ended up dozing off in his arms. It wasn’t until I heard the voice of the Alpha King, that I woke up.“I have calmed her down. I think this would be a good chance for the two of you to talk. The loss of her mate is causing her to struggle with her sanity.”Sitting up, I realized that Ryker had fallen asleep as well. Leaning to press a kiss on his cheek, I whispered into his ear. “I am going to talk to my mother.”He groaned and nodded his head, but kept his eyes closed. I imagine he was exhausted. Seeing him like this reminded me of how much work he has been doing lately. Hopefully, we can get this cure distributed soon so he can finally relax.Moving from the couch, I headed outside. I already knew that my mother went home. I wondered if the Alpha King was right about my mother. I did notice she became worse after my father died, but it was hard to tell.As far as I knew, she has always been against my life choices, but she never acted t
Alpha Ryker Chapter 79: A mother's blessing
Ryker-“Please forgive my earlier behavior. It is a pleasure to meet you, uh…” Taelin’s mother spoke as she made her way down the stairs to join us.“Alpha Ryker, but I insist that you call me Ryker.” I kept my composure, not wanting to come off as a fool in front of my mate’s mother.I might be an Alpha, but I was raised to respect my elders. The last thing I wanted was for her to find another thing to scold Taelin over. It didn’t help that I could practically feel my mate’s nervousness as if it were my own.“My daughter mentioned you were an Alpha. Forgive me for my disrespect, but I am curious if you are okay with losing your title as Alpha to become the mate of the next Alpha King?” Her left eyebrow raised as if she was challenging me to say the wrong thing.“Not in the least. As her mate, I will stand by her and allow her to do what she was meant to be. You have raised an incredibly special daughter and it is a privilege to stand beside her as she paves a new destiny for us all.”
Alpha Ryker Chapter 80: Ready for transport
Taelin-Returning to the packhouse, there was a lot of activity going on. Leo was bossing people around, and they were placing vials of the cure in containers. It didn’t take much to see that they were getting things ready to transport the cure.“The last batch has just finished, so we are going to get ready to head out in the morning. We will be heading south to a location that has a vehicle that can transport us. It is solar powered, so we will be fine to travel all the way there in it. We will be going through a large city that is overrun with rogues.” The Alpha King started explaining when he noticed us.“If we move around the city, will we be able to reach our destination?” Ryker asked.“Sadly, no. The vehicle is in a suburb of the city. It would be too far out of the way to get around it. Leo has created smoke bombs that can make the cure airborne. We don’t know how effective it will be, but I also called in for reinforcements, to help us get through as safely as possible.”“May
Alpha Ryker Chapter 81: City Streets
Taelin-Reaching the city was easy. We only ran into a few rogues. They had been in a group, so we tested the smoke bombs, which worked perfectly. The reaction was instant, compared to getting injected with the cure.Only a few seconds passed after they inhaled it, and they started to revert to their former self. Being we couldn’t leave them out here, scared and confused, Theo directed them to our home. I kind of wished we could have gone with them, to ensure they arrived, but luckily the Alpha King had an unlimited range on his ability to link with his warriors.Amanda informed the Alpha King that they had arrived before we reached the city. Leo had been buzzing with excitement that he managed to create a faster way to cure the rogues. I believe we all were feeling good about things.That was until we reached the security building. It hadn’t taken Ryker long to get a visual of various parts of the city, with the cameras he managed to hack into. It was much worse than we thought it wo
Alpha Ryker Chapter 82: Unfolding
Taelin-We managed to reach the vehicle, but the rogues were hot on our tail. We needed to thin out the herd or we weren’t going to be able to get out. Leo and Theo quickly placed the cure in the vehicle, so they could help us without damaging the cure.I only managed to knock twenty or so off them, but their numbers have already more than multiplied. By now I pulled the pistol out of my thigh holster and jumped onto the vehicle. The others were shooting at the ones closest to us or fighting them off.I tried to take out as many of the ones further back as I could. With a pistol in each hand, I continued to fire at the rogues, but there were so many. The Alpha King joined me on the top vehicle.“There are too many of them!” I yelled at the top of my lungs.“I just received word that help is on the way.” The Alpha King said as he fired rounds from his pistols at the rogues.It was good news that help was on the way, but I wasn’t sure if we could hold them back. Typically, I would rush
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
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 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

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
