RYKER

“ The rogues were not there. They were back at our pack. Someone had let them know I was not here. The beta and the important warriors were not in the pack either. ” I sigh, lowering my gaze to her lips. “ They barged inside easily. Killed whoever was in the way. And took…”

Britney. That was her name, my mate and the mother of my unborn child.

I still remember the day…I came back and saw blood in our room, blood on the bed, blood on the walls, the floor…everywhere. The strong scent of her blood had killed a part inside me.

I still remember how I searched for her, fruitlessly for months before I felt the connection disappearing.

They didn’t kill her in the pack. They took her with them. She was lost, taken away before they finally decided to kill her.

I didn’t get to see her dead body. I didn’t get to see the life in her coming into this world either.

When she died, after all those months, I finally lost touch with any kindness, any good emotion. It was a dark abyss, a dark tunn

She will surprise him.

I’m predicting here that Britney played a part in the betrayal and the baby wasn’t really his. He never found her because she severed their bond, maybe rejected him, but something tells me they’ll meet again and he’ll have to decide which mate to choose. It’s easy to spray blood and fake your death.

So much mystery with this Ryker. I love the connection between Natalie and Ryker and cant wait to see them as a power couple! I wonder what will happen when Ryker finds out who suppressed her wolf.

    NATALIE I hate this.Ryker keeps disappearing on me. He said he will come to take me to his pack but he is not here. Instead, he sent some of his pack warriors to escort me as if I am some rag doll he can throw all around.They even brought women clothes with them and said ‘ Alpha asked us to prepare this for you, Luna. If you need something else, tell us and we will get it for you. ’“ If you need anything, let us know Luna. ” The man standing in front of me says for the third time.For one, everyone keeps calling me Luna which is so strange to hear and even harder to get used to.For two, I don’t fucking need anything other than to sulk in peace.“ I am fine. Thank you. ” I smile and reply politely.No matter how irritated I feel, I shouldn’t take it out on them. I know.I sigh and fold my arms over my chest. The elevator’s doors open with a ding noise and the two men step out, followed by a sulking me.Apparently, the elevator’s doors can also open with a key card. And Ryker fucki

    NATALIEI can’t open my eyes again right away but I feel Enzo picking me up in his arms and then carrying me away somewhere.The loud voices tune in and out eventually. I am dumped down on a soft seat before his hands disappear from my body.The car begins to move. My mind remains clouded and my judgment distorted due to the excruciating pain.My eyes open and close eventually as I try to snap out of this daze. I can’t give up. Not like this.“ E..Enzo… ” I croak.“ I will get you treated once we are in the pack. ” He speaks gentle this time, acting like a fucking lunatic.“ Enzo…I..will… ”I will kill you. Fucking prick! That’s what I want to say but I am tongue tied.“ Don’t speak. Rest. ” He pats the side of my head which hurts as if I have hit a truck on my way home.“ Alp…Alpha will…kill…me… ” I finally manage to choke out. As time passes, my body is going numb but my senses are slowly returning. I can see through the blurriness a little.“ I…don…wan..to die. ” I choke on my br

    NATALIEEnzo lifts his hand to punch him but Ryker grabs it and twists it around so fast that I have to blink through my pain to believe what I am seeing for the second time.Before I can really comprehend what’s happening, Ryker twists Enzo’s arm and kicks him so hard, his body goes flying to the tree behind me.The loud thud noise makes me cringe. My horrified eyes stay on Ryker who has Enzo’s severed arm in his hand right now.I hear Enzo’s agonised screams and howls of pain next. Goosebumps rise all over my skin.Ryker drops Enzo’s arm and steps forth. Fear pricks my skin like thousands of tiny invisible needles.He crouches down by my side and a frown etches upon his forehead. The anger which radiates off his body tells me what he is planning on doing.Ryker pushes his hand forward and touches my swollen cheek with his warm fingers. His eyes darken and he exhales heavily.“ I am going to kill him. ” He whispers under his breath. Promising. Informing. My breath hitches in my thro

    NATALIEDesperate to escape the voice of my sister, I thrash and break free of the nightmare. The bright light in the unfamiliar room hurts my eyes. I have to blink a few times to adjust my vision.The first face I see is of Anne. I can see her mouth moving, forming words. But, I can’t hear her.There is a constant ringing in my ears which increases in volume, the more I try to listen to what she is telling me.I feel the light ache in my body but the suffocating throbbing in my side and my head is gone.“ C…Hear… ” Anne’s words become a little clear.The next face I see if of Giana. She rushes by my side and pushes Anne aside so she can talk instead.Confused, my gaze switches between them both.Giana bends down and takes hold of my shoulders before shaking my body. I snap out of the daze. My hearing ability comes back in full force.“ Are you fucking alright? ” Giana’s screeching voice makes its way up my ears.I hiss, closing my eyes. “ I can… ” hear you.And my throat feels like

    NATALIE“ I was going to let him live for a while. You know…torture him and get information but then you asked me to spare him and the switch flipped in my head. ” He breathes, his eyes narrowing on me.“ You killed him…because I… ” Tears wet my cheeks again, blurring my vision.“ Yes. There he was trying to fuck you against your will and instead of asking me to kill him…like you should have… ” He inches closer, letting his lips touch mine in a feathery touch. “ you asked me to let him go. ”My breath hitches in my throat. Did he really misunderstand the situation like Anne suspected?Enzo and Emilie leave my mind at once and the thought of having him miscalculate this situation makes me grab his jacket between my fists.“ He was my sister’s mate. ” I try to reason.Ryker’s lips twitch when my eyes lower to them. I swallow and glance up in the deep ocean.“ He put his hands on you. ” He retorts, sounding dangerous.“ He… ” There is nothing else I can say.My body shudders when he tigh

    NATALIERyker pulls me out of the room. A woman in her late forties instantly greets us.“ Hello Alpha. Luna. ” She throws me a polite smile.As a formality, I return her gesture when in reality, I feel so awkward.“ I think it will be better if Luna rests for some time, Alpha. ” She turns to Ryker.“ Get back to work Luciana. ” Ryker dismisses her coldly.The woman leaves our way, letting Ryker haul me out of the huge infirmary. I glance at the woman from over my shoulder, knowing she must be the pack doctor.“ Why must you be so rude? ” I mumble under my breath.Ryker doesn’t answer. Instead, he releases my wrist and intertwines our fingers. I glance down at our hands and let out a sigh. He knows how to shut me up without even saying anything.“ Where are you taking me? ” I question, walking beside him.I can’t help but notice the way he walks, without making any noise with his feet. It’s as if he floats in the air, swift and sneaky but powerful nonetheless.“ Home. ” Ryker hums lo

    NATALIE“ Bring them here. ” He stretches his neck and commands Zio.“ Yes Alpha. ” Zio disappears from my side and turns right from the end of the living room.Ryker plops down on the white couch and rests his arms over the headrest, stretching again.Is he out to give me non—existent blue balls? I shift from one foot to another uncomfortably.“ Come here. ” His voice sounds tired and burdened.Now when I can finally think rationally again, I can’t help but notice certain things. The look on Ryker’s face and the way he is acting…is almost like he is hesitating or guilty.About what? I can’t tell.I approach him with small steps. He grips my hand and makes me sit on his lap like a child.I gasp but don’t struggle to get out of his hold when he wraps his arm around my waist and rests his head on my shoulder. He brings his right arm forward and places his hand over my thigh, stroking my skin from over the cloth.“ I have to initiate you into my pack, love. ” He whispers in the crook of

Take both my friends there. ”“ You don’t understand. ” Anne huffs, folding her arms over her chest.“ I understand. ” I glance her way. “ But, it’s between me and my mate now. ”I am saving you from his wrath, idiot! I don’t think she can see the deranged look in Ryker’s eyes right now. It’s almost as if he is on the verge of losing control and snapping Anne’s neck. I don’t want that. And if things escalate…I am not sure anymore if Ryker will listen to me and spare her life.“ Come on, ladies. Let’s leave them alone. ” Zio gets up, chiming as if a bomb hasn’t been dropped in the living room a few moments ago.With my blazing eyes, I try to convey the silent message to Giana who is staring at me, her mouth agape.“ Go.

  • 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.
