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

    NATALIEHe is hovering above me, his lips kissing my neck as he thrusts in and out of me at an animalistic pace.My breathless moans fill the whole space of the unrecognisable room. There are mirrors all around and just like he can see every inch of me, I can now see all of him too.This makes the experience so much more sensual. The pleasure drives me crazy and the small jolts of electricity I feel every time he thrusts in, threaten to send me over the edge.“ Ryker…” I moan his name.The scene dissolves into darkness. I blink my eyes open and instantly feel wet between my thighs.“ What the fuck…is wrong with me? ” I sigh to myself as I stare at the ceiling of my gloomy room.The birds chirping outside give the hint that it’s early morning and I, as the useless addition of this pack has nothing to do.I take a deep breath and rub my thighs together to get rid of the ache.Seven days have passed since I last saw or even talked to Ryker. The number he used to call me is always unreach

    NATALIEI blink my eyes in shock. My cheeks heat up.“ Don’t scare me by taking that Alpha’s name again and again. Do you really want me to turn out to be his mate? Do you want him to squeeze my neck and kill me? ” I mutter and swallow.My hand unconsciously reaches out to my precious neck. No doubt my life is fucking hilarious, but I don’t want to die.Giana chuckles on the other side. “ I was only scaring you, idiot. You will never be mated to him. ” I shake my head and lie down on the bed. For a moment, my heart almost broke out of my ribcage.“ You are too good to be someone’s second chance mate. Moon Goddess won’t do this to you. You have suffered enough. I am sure she has something great in store for you. ” She assures me, her voice turning soft.She must have heard my rapid heartbeat. “ If you find out anything…” I trail off.“ I will let you know. Anne and I are going with our families. So bye! I need to get ready. ” She says it all in one breath and hangs up the call.Unlik

    NATALIEIn the end, I had to come to the Alpha’s Villa. It is decorated in white and Gold, the royal kind of setting.I am wearing a Golden dress to match the theme. It is an off shoulder gown which reveals my collar bones and arms. I had to apply an extra layer of concealer to hide the mate mark. I am still shocked about something. For the first time in the last three years, my Mom brought me a dress so excitedly.There is a constant smile playing on the lips of each member of my family. They all look relieved, satisfied, happy and they are not doing anything to hide it.Why? I can’t really understand it.My palms are sweating. I have to rub them with the sparkly dress’ edges multiple times to get rid of the stickiness.I am now standing in the hall, in the most hidden corner where I hope no one finds me. People are too busy to pay me attention. They are all dressed in the finest clothes. The sparkle and shimmer can blind anyone momentarily unlike me who is nervous out of her mind.

    NATALIEShe then cursed the werewolves to have mates — the pair must be decided by the Moon Goddess.If someone decides to break off the bond bestowed by Moon Goddess, he/she will experience such pain which will drive them crazy and the innocent mate who will get rejected won’t survive either. The madness and the guilt of killing another person will be the punishment for defying the Moon Goddess’ will. At first, I thought it was really a curse. But with time, I saw the other side of this picture. Evangelina became a human and died as a human while her husband was beside her. Werewolves now have people they can rely on. Mates they can trust. A bond so strong with another person that every pain, every suffering disappears when the other half is near.All of it seems more like a blessing to me. That’s why I couldn’t reject Ryker after finding out he was truly my mate and Enzo was not. I didn’t want to kill him, and I didn’t want to go mad.And…what happened to the girls?Some say, the

    NATALIEI know it’s him.Ryker. My mate.How long has he been here for? How much did he witness?When he sees me watching him, he leans to his right, stepping out of the dark. His bored expressions make me blink for a few times.Beside him stands another familiar face. The Beta of the Night Walkers Pack.My mind tries to understand why he is not doing anything. Does he intend to see me being sent off to some other older man so I can give birth to his children?Does he not care? Even in the slightest?The tears I held back until now, break all barriers and roll down my cheeks in waves.“ Tell us Natalie. Do you still have any objection? ” It’s a formality.It’s against the werewolf council’s rules to force a woman into anything. They need to know I agree to this.But what choice are they even giving me? They will kick me out if I don’t agree.“ I have a… ” I try again.Ryker lifts his left eyebrow, hinting at something. My eyes freeze at him, like my senses. I breath in and out slowly.

    NATALIE“ Bring the Alpha’s son. We will ask him. ” The twins decide.Alpha Wilson gives me a murderous glance and then turns to the whispering crowd. “ This is not true. We all know Enzo. ”Then, he throws me a vicious glare. “ And we know Natalie Whitman. ”Now, it’s a war to prove this true. Anne and Giana are the witnesses and that’s probably why they must have been locked in the dungeons by now. The Alpha already feared that if those two girls were here, they would have done everything in their power to save me.I realise what they mean to me now. They have always protected me even if those two deranged friends ended up in trouble themselves. What am I going to do if their parents don’t let them testify? I rub my hands together.“ You should have thought about it before coming here when I clearly warned you. ” A deep voice whispers in my head.Did he just talk in my head? My eyes shoot up towards Ryker. He narrows his eyes and rests his back against the wall behind him. He dis

    NATALIE Ryker finally releases Enzo’s fist in a very gentle way. I blink at Enzo, not understanding anything anymore. He killed his mate. You might be his second chance mate. He is Ryker Ambrose after all. I recall everything my friends and I talked about. I thought he could never be my mate, not in a thousand years. Now, I can make sense of some things. I met him on a neutral territory, slept with him and saw his Beta lurking close to the room the next morning. The Night Walkers Pack people usually don’t tolerate any other pack’s members even on the neutral territory. They think they own everything and no one can stop them — no one, including the werewolf council. When I was walking with Enzo, my hand held in his, I saw that fucking Beta glaring at me. And I instantly released Enzo’s hand. That day, I had felt that strange emotion in the back of my mind. It was possessiveness. You are my Luna — it was a fucking call like that. As if he was warning me with his eyes to no

  • Alpha's Claimed Mate   End Note

    HEY, lOVELIES! There is only so much that you can fit in a single Author's note so I am writing this end note separately. This book was indeed the most unplanned book I have written but it became the book I hold close to my heart. It's not only because I liked the characters but because I thought you all were connected to this story. I don't like writing sequels of a story but for this book, I made the exception and wrote a separate story for some side characters. I had attempted this for another book before but it didn't work out like this so I am glad that I was able to finish this story in the end. This was also the longest story I have written so I learned a lot from it and you all. Thank you everyone for joining me on this journey and for staying with me to the end! It meant a lot to me and I am expecting that you all will join me on the new journeys too.

  • Alpha's Claimed Mate   Epilogue

    ANNE ~SEVEN MONTHS LATER Sometimes, it’s hard to believe how a person can change so much. When I look at myself in the mirror these days, I find someone I don’t even know. Maybe, that’s what love does to people. It changes them, or perhaps, it brings the child out of them—the child they hide away from the world in hopes to protect the injured soul. Zero’s selfless love and unconditional support have brought out that child from inside my head. I am surprised to find that she is wounded, yes, but she is in the process of healing. It might take her a lifetime to heal but I don’t worry because I know he is here with me, and he will always be. Even when I was inside the labor room after six months, pushing and struggling to bring life out from inside me, I didn’t fear anything. I felt pain, in waves, and it made me almost pass out. It was the hardest thing I had done in my life, the most excruciating but it was fine because he was there with me. I clenched his hand with each push. I

    ZERO “ I am pregnant, Zero. ” She repeats in a calmer tone. I hear her jumpy, loud heartbeat and try to search for my own. I think my heart has stopped beating. “ I found out two days ago and came to tell you. ” She is saying things. I see her lips moving, her brows jumping up and down, her nose scrunching with each word she is uttering but I can’t make sense of any of it. I am trying to hear my thoughts or the beat of my heart. The shocking silence is making me feel as if I am traveling through space, through the stars and galaxies and universes and it means nothing and everything to me. My heart finally beats. Anne is still saying things and I still can’t hear. I leave her hands. My arms coil around her waist, pulling her flush against me. I don’t know if she has stopped talking or not. I don’t know anything. I don’t want to know anything else. My eyes close as a breath escapes my mouth. My heart beats in my ears as different emotions rush through my head at the same time.

    ZEROWhy did I think she will let me rest?She starts poking my side as soon as I go silent. “ Zero. Talk to me. ” I let out a soft breath and keep my eyes closed. I am in no mood to listen to her tonight.“ I am sorry. ” She pokes my ribs with her forefinger.“ I will never do it. I promise. I will die before hurting you. ” Another poke.“ I know you can hear me. Stop acting like a baby. ” She groans, poking me once more.“ You are annoying me right now. ” I utter.She stops poking me all of sudden. I finally breathe in relief. “ Am I really annoying you? ” She asks in a gentle whisper.The muscles in my bare shoulders clench. I push my arm off my eyes and open them to look at her.It’s fine as long as she is annoying and not hurt. I don’t want to hurt her.“ Anne…” I sigh, not knowing what I want to tell her.She rolls her eyes at me before pushing herself closer. I squeeze my lips, narrowing my eyes slightly.Her lips morph into a sneaky grin. She swings her leg over my torso. He

    ANNEA knock sounds on the car’s window. I yelp, pulling back and glancing at Liam who is smirking.He is unaffected by the rain wetting him. His meaningful gaze switches between me and Zero. I gulp, pushing myself off Zero’s lap and back onto the passenger’s seat.Liam steps back as Zero drives the car through the open door and stops in the driveway. I sigh, stealing a glance at my mate.I thought I was doing things for the better, but I was only running away. It took me only a fucking week to realize I don’t care what the fuck happens. I want him by my side and I can never imagine a life without him.Now, when I am carrying our child, I feel the need to be close to him even more. It’s not just love anymore…it’s also a sense of stability and a family that I seek in Zero. He opens the door and steps out without looking at me. I release another sigh and step out, following him.Liam appears beside me, his wet hair falling over his forehead.“ So you two were fighting. I was right. ” H

    ZEROI have never disliked anything about Anne. Everything she did, every decision she made, every harsh word she uttered at me didn’t matter to me until what she did a week ago.A week ago, I felt the weight of her words pushing me to my knees for the first time. I disliked what she did. And I didn’t feel like following her as she asked.It took me a few hours to finally understand what it was that I felt. I was angry. Maybe no. I was fuming, my blood was running hot in my veins. Just as she had uttered hurtful words at me, I wanted to do the same.I had gone to do just that when I left that place abruptly, but when I reached the Night Walker Pack and saw her, the anger went to the back of my head.I was still angry but taking out that anger on Anne would never happen. Hurting her would break my heart.I realized she didn’t mean anything she said right when she was uttering those words. The thing I disliked the most was the fact that she was not behaving like the usual selfish woman

    ANNEIt takes me a few hours to get to the vampire territory. My heart continues to pump blood at the speed of lightning. The thought of seeing him after what I said that day is killing me but even for my own selfish reasons, I need to know he is doing fine.As I drive the car towards the huge gates of the mansion, the vampires push it open, letting me inside. My heart begins beating faster than before. I turn off the engine when I am in the driveway.Wiping my sweaty hands over my jeans, I open the door and step out only to meet Liam who is rushing to me. In a familiar gesture, his arms are engulfing me in a hug.I sigh, not finding it in myself to get angry today.“ How have you been, sweet Anne? ” He questions, smiling genuinely.“ I thought you didn’t like me anymore. ” I let out, taking a step back.“ Oh, that was some angry banter. Don’t take it to heart. ” He flaps his hand in the air before he is dragging me inside the mansion where his parents await me.My eyes nervously roam

    ANNEHe let me leave. I didn’t waste a moment and left him there. He was better off without me. I should have realized this sooner.A week has passed since that Goddess awful day yet my heart still hurts the same. A little part of me even wanted Zero to follow me. I didn’t think it was this easy to push him away.When I left the vampire territory, I was not sure where I wanted to go. At that moment, Natalie called me and asked me to come to her. She was in pain again but this time, it was labor pain.For some time, I forgot about my misery and stood outside her hospital room as she screamed in agony. Ryker was by her side for hours straight.Her labor was prolonged. Giving birth to a hybrid was hard for her but she survived. And gave birth to a blue-eyed angel.
