RYKER I watch her jaw opening and then hanging low in terror and surprise. Fuck. She always fucking takes it the wrong way. I blink my eyes and lower the cellphone for a moment. “ Who do you want to come and get you from here? That’s what I am asking. You can’t go home alone from here. ” I narrow my eyes and glare at her. She releases a breath through her mouth and my eyes are drawn to them. I gulp unconsciously and avert my eyes away. She is making me lose control. All of this is so unpredictable, like getting hit by a random disaster on your way home. “ How — How do you know them? ” She stutters, stumbling back and hitting the tree behind her. I look back at her. That’s what she was worried about. “ Long story. ” I am not in the mood to explain things even I can’t understand right now. Why did I go to such extent to know all about her, absolutely everything about her? I am not sure. “ You…” She always seems to get stuck on this word. My eyes search her amber orbs. In t
NATALIE“ So…tell me what’s happening.” Giana asks for the third time during our ride back home.My mind is still caught up in the events from earlier.Ryker. His name is Ryker. He finally told me but what help is this name to me?Besides, he knows things about me — he knows where I live, what I do. He even has the contact numbers of my friends saved in his phone.Some fucked up situation I have caught myself into.But, I can’t deny, he did make my heart skip a beat when he stopped me midway and kissed me before revealing his name.“ Natalie. ” Giana calls my name.I close my eyes and place my forehead against the cool window. I don’t want to talk to her. I should have insisted on going home on my own. At least, that way Giana wouldn’t have smelled this sex scent on me. She knows I met my mate again but she doesn’t know why.“ Just speak up and let me know if you need anything else. Just let me know if you are hurt. I… ” She shifts her focus back on me instead the road.“ What can y
RYKER“ So you killed them all? ” Zio asks dramatically.My eyes follow his figure. He has been pacing back and forth in my office for quite some time now. If he was not my beta and a childhood friend, I would have kicked him out long ago but he is a privileged bastard.I roll my eyes and rest back in the chair. “ I tried talking to them nicely. They didn’t listen. ” “ You killed them in front of Natalie? ” He whispers in a horrified tone.I sigh, shaking my head. “ What else do you think I should have done? I admit it was tempting to let them take her but grey didn’t agree to this. ”He stops pacing and glares at me. “ I don’t believe you actually thought about letting them take her. ”“ It’s called letting someone else take care of your problem. ” I smirk at him.He walks forth and slumps down on the visitor chair. His hazel eyes never leave my bored gaze.“ She is not a problem. She is your mate. ” He is the one forcing me to get over it.But he knows it’s nearly impossible for me
NATALIE“ Are you serious? ” Anne hisses.“ Yes. I am damn serious. ” I nod my head.She sighs, followed by Giana who has similar dejected expressions displayed on her face right now.This satisfies me.I open the car’s door and step down.“ I am going home. ” I tell no one in general, but still expect that these two idiots heard me.“ At least take a bath before going home. ” Giana is quick to get out and suggest.My feet freeze on their spot. The stickiness in my panties is still so fresh. And I smell like walking sex.If I go home like this, my Mom and Dad will definitely kill me this time.I press my lips in a thin line and turn around to face Giana.“ Don’t expect me to forgive you just because you are nice to me. ” I remind her.Anne comes out of the car and gives me a serious look. “ We won’t take advantage of this situation to make you forgive us. ”I look down and then nod my head. Without waiting for a moment longer, Anne leaps out and grabs my wrist before dragging me to t
NATALIE“ It’s your Mom. ” Anne informs me from over the kitchen.I look over my shoulder and find her holding the phone at some distance from her ear while she informs me about my mother’s call.“ She wants me to come home? ” I question from the living room.“ Yes. ” Anne nods her head.Her eyes tell another story. She doesn’t want me to go back to that house.“ Okay. Tell her I am coming. ” I turn back around and face Giana who is sitting on the sofa opposite mine.“ We will drop her off in half an hour Mrs. Whitman. ” Anne tells Mom monotonically.“ Okay. Sure. ” She hangs up on the call and comes to sit beside me.I pull my legs up and place my chin over my knee. A sigh leaves my lips.“ Don’t worry. I will ask someone to look into this man. Text me the number he used to call you when you get hold of your phone. ” Giana says.I nod my head. I have told them everything. From his visit to my room, to his call and then him finding me in the forest. I have conveniently hid the fact th
NATALIEI lower my gaze instantly and attempt to walk past him when my senses kick in.“ Can’t even say hi to me? ” He mocks.My feet come to an abrupt halt. I turn around to face him.Pangs of hurt hit my heart when I peek in his shimmering brown eyes. I unwrap my arms from around myself and drop my hands by my side before curling them into fists.“ What do you…want? ” It’s hard to talk.I don’t know what I am supposed to say to him.“ Do you need it so bad for me to want something from you? ” He smiles at me.My breath hitches in my throat. I grit my teeth.He takes a step forward. I take one back cautiously.I have never noticed this monstrous look in his eyes before. Or maybe, I simply ignored the red flags.“ Isn’t it better that you know everything now? I don’t need to lie to you anymore. ” His voice lowers.Goosebumps rise over my body. An alarm goes off in my head, informing me about something I can’t comprehend right now.“ I can still take care of you. No one from this pack
RYKER“ You smell like another man. ” I growl.This bond makes me possessive towards her. I can’t tolerate any other man coming anywhere near her. And her smelling like another man is absolutely unacceptable.“ I collided with someone on my way home. ” Natalie replies diplomatically.Placing my hands by my sides, I stretch my body. My eyes observe her nervous figure keenly.She is not lying. But she is not telling me the truth either. Silence prolongs between us. And it visibly makes her uncomfortable. A while ago, I felt her troublesome emotions again. It felt like she was in danger. That’s why I had to leave my pack in the middle of the night and come all the way to check up on her.She can’t stay put for some hours. She has gotten herself involved in some kind of messed up situation too many times in a single day.“ I am tired. ” She whispers when I don’t say anything.I blink and focus on her petite frame. My faint scent is still rubbed off on her body.I smirk and open my mouth
RYKERI pinch her nipple hard. She lets out a pained hiss and her eyes shoot up to meet mine.“ Aww. Did that hurt, baby love? ” My lips curve up to form — what might look like — an evil smirk to her. She sniffs, her eyes welling with tears. I get my hand out of her shirt and place it over her cheek, caressing the milky softness. Her lips pucker out in protest.“ If I find out that you have even…” My face inches close to hers. “ …collided with any other man again, it will hurt a lot. I promise. ” She sniffs again. Her dread and tears filled eyes stare back at me. “ Do you understand, love? ” I inquire in a throaty voice.She nods her head fervently. Her glassy wide eyes watch me closely.My eyebrows pinch together at her response. I place my thumb against her pouting lips.“ Use this pretty mouth. ” I whisper.My eyes move to her slightly swollen lips. My thumb presses against the opening of her lips and she unconsciously gasps, letting my thumb slide in. My eyes rise to her surpr
