Fear roiled her guts and she swallowed when Lyle heard that Alpha Drake had been informed and was coming to take her. If that happened, he would come to take her but the moment they would reach the Blood Moon Pack, he would kill her and killing her parents would follow that. Lyle was now not only weak in body, her mind became overwhelmed with numerous emotions and once again she felt dizzy. Her breath became shallow but she turned her face away so as not to show him. She just had to find a way to go back to the Blood Moon Pack and then escape with her parents.
Lyle threw her head back and looked up at the sky. “Okay…” she murmured. Nyter was with Alpha Ryder and there was no way she was going to attempt to steal it.
She scrambled to her feet but her body was shaking so much that she swayed like a bough in the summer breeze. In an instant, Ryder wa

Alpha Ryder couldn’t sleep. He couldn’t wink an eye not because the girl disturbed him. Over the last two days, he had become so used to making her sleep near his chest and wrapping his arms and legs around her that tonight when she was sleeping without a care in the world, he was edgy. He reasoned that it wasn’t him who wanted to go near her and blamed it all on his wolf, Gray, who craved to pull her next to him. Ryder closed his eyes to divert his attention. He recalled how he first met his lover, Elara, but merely three seconds later, his mind was full of Lyle. The curves of her body, her parted lips—it made him, no, it made his wolf pine for her. But Alpha Ryder didn’t repeat the mistake of pulling her to him, for this time who knew that the girl would plunge the dagger in his heart. For the entire night, he continued to lie beside her or watch her sleep with his hand propped up on his elbow. He
Lyle ran as fast as she could to get away from Alpha Drake and his men, but Drake forced her to submit to him through the mental link.“Come back Lyle!” he commanded her.“Noooo!” She resisted his call but it was so difficult that her entire body shuddered, and the she felt as if her body had become a huge boulder that she was trying to move uphill. Sweat beads appeared on her forehead as fear skittered down her spine. She started hyperventilating. “You can’t do this Alpha Drake,” she huffed via her mental link. “You promised that you would free my parents.”Drake let out a vicious laugh. “No one gets free from my pack until they meet with their death!” He spat on the ground. “Did you think that you could get away so easily fro
Ryder ran and leapt right over the bonnet with force so huge that the metal sank in. He punched the front view glass with his right fist shattering it into a thousand pieces. He plucked the steering out. He jumped in to grab Drake’s throat and while doing so, his kick landed right on Joe’s face with impact so hard that his face was a bloody mess and the man fell to the back, unconscious. In the mess that followed, Terry fired his rifle that grazed his shoulder forming a wound through which flesh ripped. But that didn’t stop him. Ryder caught Drake’s throat and pressed it hard with one hand while snatching Terry’s rifle with the other. Drake kicked him hard on his thighs. For a moment Ryder thought that his femur had fractured, and his grip loosened on Drake. Drake took the advantage and shoved him hard away from him. He scrambled out of the jeep. Disappointed as hell, Ryder broke his rifle in two an
They reached the cave in less than fifteen minutes. When they reached near the cave, Dominique said acerbically, “You can go back to your pack. We can take care of her from here.” Not happy over his statement and wondering why he would say that, Ryder snapped, “I will stay where the pup stays.” Dominique grunted. “Why do I have a feeling that she is in this situation because of you?” He touched the girl's hair that was sticking to Ryder’s forearm. Ryder’s fangs sharpened at him for touching her. He could claw the beta of the Howling Pack right now. Was he trying to make out with her? Was he trying to take her away from him? His wolf growled. He willed his wolf to back down, as comprehension began to set in. ‘She is not ours.’ He had done his duty to
Ryder’s face tightened as he watched Dominique furtively. He curled his fists as his pulse quickened. Dominique was shirtless and had laid a plaid on the rocky outcrop, which he had marked to sleep with Lyle. He removed his dagger with its sheath from his belt and placed it on the side. Then he picked up Lyle and set her on the plaid. But why the hell was he shirtless? Was he trying to show her his youth or how fit he was? Dominique brushed her hair to the side and looked at her with fondness that didn’t sit well with Ryder. Ryder was about to stomp to him to punch him on the face when Nolan placed his hand on his shoulder to stop him from doing anything stupid. A low growl formed in his throat and he went to pick his backpack. Arya entered the cave with her hands full of firewood and two rabbits hanging from her shoulders. Nolan rushed to her sid
Ryder ambled to the side of the rocky outcrop where she was sitting leaned against the wall and set his pallet right next to it on the ground. A broad piece, the pallet was comfortable for him to sleep and for her too. It’s not that he had found the pallet on the Bloodwulf jungle floor. He had found a thick tree, uprooted it and then took almost three hours to create it. All the while he was crafting it, he only thought of one thing—it should be curved nicely so that she wouldn’t get hurt in case she decided to sleep on it, with him of course… He had waited for her to become conscious. His anxiety was getting the better of him. Others passed indirect remarks at him, so he had gone out to distract himself. When Lyle didn’t look at him or the pallet he had crafted for so long for her, his irritation increased. Ryder pursed his lips and then walked to his backpack from where he pulled out a large towel
Her youth lasted for two thousand years, but now her skin was wrinkly. Her face had been battered by age by all the magic she had used. It was crumpled and sagged. Her leathery skin had warts. When she looked at her young daughter, Nina, her face twitched as saliva drooled from her mouth. There was a glint in her otherwise limpid eyes. Elara wanted back the look of youth but whatever spell she tried, it just wasn’t working. The only option left was the Nyter flowers. “Sit down Nina,” she said in an ominous voice. She was performing a ritual.There was a skull of a boar who she had sacrificed for the ritual, right in her center of the pentagon she had sketched. For the past ten years she had been working on one or the other spell to get her youthful looks back, but nothing worked.The two witches sat down to complete the ritual.
Ryder’s erection throbbed painfully recalling her arousal. “Nothing,” he hissed and adjusted his erection. The pup was on his mind for the whole day. Now that he had decided that he would woo her, what was he going to do? He wasn’t skilled in the field of love! His beta had often told him how much the girls from his pack waited for him to notice them, to bed them, but he was just never interested. And now he regretted his decision. At least he would have had some experience. He wondered why he never yearned for others. Why was it that a mere thought of pup made him drool over her body? Damn it, he could sniff her arousal from so far also. Was she aroused? Was she thinking of him? Bloody Dominique was there in the cave. “Fuck!” he shouted. Nolan jerked his head back. “What is wrong with you?” “We need to rush back!” he said and sprinted back to the
Lyle felt better and opened her eyes wider after she gulped the glass of water. She looked up at him and smiled feebly. She could hear his loud heartbeats. He hugged her tightly and pressed her face to his chest. “Stop giving me such shocks, pup,” he whispered. “You will be the death of me.” She chuckled. She peeped out from his embrace and was pleasantly surprised to find Arya and Conrad. “Arya! Oh my god! Sister!” Lyle exclaimed. She tried to struggle free from her husband to go to her. When he didn’t leave her, she glared at him. He had to leave her reluctantly. The two sisters hugged each other. Lyle’s eyes stung with tears. When she pulled away from Arya, Arya said in a hoarse voice, “Your husband called us here. And I’ve been shouting on him from a long time.” She tucked a strand behind her ears. “You brave, brave girl.” Her voice choked. On
Lyle jerked her eyes open. The blast was so loud that she found Ryder already rushing outside. Quickly she wore her shorts and tank top and ran outside. The explosion was so loud that it came like a horrible yell from hell. It was very dark but the forest in front of their lodge was engulfed in fire. Flames rose high into the night as if challenging the darkness of the night, challenging the sanctuary of the forest animals. The fire ran impatiently everywhere, engulfing everything that came in the way.Lyle put her hands on the head as Ryder watched the catastrophe. Two trees were uprooted, the splinters of which had broken several glass windows. The loud cry of birds and animals was terrifyingly painful.“How did this happen?” asked Lyle as goose bumps lined her skin and her stomach plummeted to her feet.
Thelma quickly got Lyle dressed in a simple deer skin ankle-length skirt and a deer-skin bustier that showed her mark amply. She insisted on making her wear black bead necklace, which she said belonged to the ancestors. She had let her hair open and made her wear a tiara that was woven with the wild flowers of the valley.“You look beautiful, pup,” she said while making her wear a beaded bangle. “I can’t believe that our Alpha has found his mate. We were all not very happy with Elara because of her coldness towards our Alpha. She would come and use him and go away.”“Use him?” Lyle asked, confused.Thelma laughed. “Use his wealth. She would take numerous gifts for herself and go away. The last she met our Alpha was ten years back and everyone in the pack kn
“Alpha Ryder,” Juan said with respect in his voice as he bowed to him. He gave a worrying look at Lyle. When they all settled, awkward silence hung in the air.Lyle looked at the woman who was sitting opposite to her and wondered if she even remembered her. But there was one thing she could feel—there was lightness in the air. The heaviness and gloom associated with the spells was gone. When last time she had seen the men and women around her, they all looked dull, morose and indifferent to their surroundings, but now she could feel and see the glint in their eyes.The woman spoke, “Good morning, Alpha.”Ryder gave a tight nod in response, as he clutched Lyle’s hand all the more tightly and put it his lap as if making a statement.
Lyle moved her hips in tandem with him. “Please,” she whispered when their skin beat against skin, as she demanded more. She closed her eyes and felt him driving inside her like a piston, stretching her and filling her, hitting her to the hilt.“Open your eyes, Lyle. I want to see you come around my cock,” he said, grazing her lips with his fangs.Lyle opened her eyes to meet his hooded eyes and her inside only melted more. She tightened her sheath around him to milk his cock. His fangs lengthened more and she could see the tips slicked with his venom. The site made her feel needy… needy for him. Suddenly she wanted to lick those fangs. She lifted her head and licked them and he roared with pleasure, thrusting harder inside her. His beast wanted to unleash to mark his mate. She grabbed his shoulders as he pumped her ha
When Lyle woke up, she was dazed. She pushed her hands against rock hard muscles to get up a little. His scent and warmth wrapped her in the comfort of his strong arms. She lifted her head to meet his intense gaze. Lyle swallowed hard as she peered in his hazel eyes that were burning with need. She could see that his fangs had lengthened and a purr emanated from his chest.“Ryder?” she said and tried to get up, but his strong hands prevented her from getting up.“Mine,” he growled.Her lips kicked up when the haziness from her thoughts lifted. He sensed her as his mate. “Yes…” she whispered, her wolf acknowledging the mate.He brought his hands to her flushed cheeks, his eyes flitting to her lips, to her
It was extremely rare to find your mate in the Lore. For Ryder the world had gone silent except for the presence of his mate. Ever since Varana left, all he could hear was the feeble heartbeat of his mate. All he could see was her pale skin and even paler face. She was bruised at so many places that his stomach churned. Her scent was so strong that his guts were roiled. “Mine!” his wolf growled. Ryder felt that unbreakable bond with her. He would protect her with his life. The man had waited for so long and this was the epitome of his life. The need to rip her dress and see her all over again was making him tense as hell. But that wasn’t the main issue right now. He had sensed her as his mate and whether she sensed him or not, her fate was sealed.“She is just too exhausted,” said Varana after examining her. He touched her forehead and Ryder growled again.
Elara’s body visibly shook and her facial expressions became slack. Her lips trembled when she said, “Dominique, my son.” Disbelief marred her mind and tears continued to roll down out of shock. Her body posture collapsed. Her voice cracked, “What has she done to you?” With her wrists locked, she bent over him and clung to his head. Her wails ricocheted in the room they were in.Suddenly she experienced chilliness around her and her muscles felt weak. It was as if her magic was weakening. There was a stabbing pain in her stomach. Eyes widened, she looked at Lyle, whose eyes were glowing orange as if a fire was burning in them. With her hands in front of her, and eyes staring in space, darkness shot all around her in tendrils that twined like gnarled roots of trees. The dark tendrils slid on the floor towards Elara like ripples on water and penetrated her magic. Elara sho
Silver Moon pack’s borders weren’t well guarded. Lyle had picked up a bag littered on the ground and stashed the severed head of Dominique inside it. Everyone seemed to be in a jubilant mood and even the guards were relaxed. When Lyle slipped past them, she noticed that though all of them were talking with each other, they had glossy eyes, as if they were entranced. They gave her a cursory glance and resumed talking. It was… strange.She walked further into the territory. The whole pack was decorated with ribbons and lights and loud music was blaring from somewhere. As she walked through the streets, she found that there was hardly anyone around. Houses looked desolate and chilly winds blew, howling like they were mourning. Very few people were sitting in the warmth of their houses doing mundane jobs. Even though it was all very weird, she had to find her way to Ryder’s house. Lyle
