NATALIERyker’s lips clash with mine again. The little restraint he had over himself to stop and apologise first seems to have snapped. He forces his tongue in my mouth, exploring every inch of it before his tongue finally strokes mine. Fire explodes behind my closed eyes. I moan in his mouth before pushing my body into his again.All the things he says and does to me…Fucking Goddess! I would never be able to reject him even in a million years.His hands find their way to the zipper on my back. He unzips my dress and slides it down my shoulders. The cold air brushes against my skin, making me shiver against his body.Detaching our lips, he moves down to my exposed neck. His lips harshly suck, bite and lick my skin. I groan with every stroke of his tongue, every kiss of his mouth and every brush of his teeth over my sensitive skin.My mouth falls open, his name slipping past my lips. “ Ryke… ”Ryker groans against my neck and pushes my back into the couch, hovering above me. My hands
NATALIE“ For what? ” Ryker hums and stills over me, staring at me with interest shining in his eyes.My heart races in my chest. I continue tracing his lower lip with my forefinger, going back and forth slowly.“ I know you said I shouldn’t play the brat role with pack members. ” I sigh and pull my hand to myself.Ryker nods his heads and pushes himself away from over me. I suck in a sharp breath and watch him.“ It will be fine. ” He is lenient. Too fucking soft.“ Really? ” I sit up on the couch as my eyes trail down his tattooed back.Fucking first time that I am seeing his back with so much curiosity. There is a wolf tattooed on his back. Its head starts from the back of his shoulder and the tail ends at the start of his hip.“ Consider this the last chance. ” Ryker picks his pants from the floor and turns to face me.“ I was…not feeling well. ” I blurt out.My hands reach out to my tattered bra when I realise I have been shamelessly sitting exposed in front of him. Oh My fucking
NATALIEMy head is beginning to hurt again. It’s like something is rattling against my brain, shaking everything up.My thoughts are all over the place. One moment I am thinking about one thing and then this headache strikes and it’s like another entity tries to take over me, leaving me with split opinions, different thoughts.“ Don’t take stress. Take rest. Go to sleep. Don’t think about it. ” He has the same things to say in the same fucking breath.The burning sensation returns in my eyes, making me feel like fire is about to spill out of them.“Ryker. Don’t tell me to rest. Don’t tell me to not think about this. ” I sigh, my shoulders slumping.“ I can’t sit here and wait…for—for I don’t even know what! ” My voice rises when a wave of pain hits me hard in the head.“ Trust me. Just stay put. I will figure it out. ” He assures me.A pair of hands land on my forearms. The pain subsides and a struggled breath leaves my lips. I close my eyes, relishing in the feel of the tremors of cu
NATALIEWhen Ryker said he had to be somewhere, I thought he was going on some secret mission.I fucking didn’t expect he would go to patrol the border on his own. Which Alpha in the werewolf community does this?I shoot him another glare as he continues to walk beside me leisurely. I don’t know how much time has passed but my legs are killing me. He is a werewolf, so he doesn’t feel it but I am just a human right now.“ Stop glaring at me. You wanted to know what I do. ” He chuckles, and glances at me from the corner of his eyes.“ Why are we patrolling the border when the patrol guards are supposed to do that? ” I whine and stomp my feet on the ground.To be honest, I went to shower and cried like a fucking cry-baby in the bathroom. It stung and hurt me like nothing else to know that I finally have my mate, I am marked yet my man still belongs to another woman at heart.But, there is nothing I can do about it besides giving him the time he needs to get over her. Maybe, he will move
RYKERUnbelievable.I told her what I am and she thought I was joking. Seriously.What is she? A small girl messing with my mind, that’s so fucking weird.How did I end up telling her about myself so easily? I have never told anyone about it before, not even my own sister or Britney.The name echoes in my mind and makes me sigh to myself. I drop my head in my hands and stare at the floor.Natalie is hurting. When something hurts her, it makes my heart hurt too. No matter how hard she tries to act unbothered about me not being able to get over Britney, I know it pains her deeply.But what am I supposed to do?I didn’t think I will get another mate after Britney’s death, so I lived with her memories. She has lived with me for years…How am I supposed to get rid of her right away?No doubt, I do have a fucking soft spot for little miss pesky. She is my mate but…there is just something which keeps coming between us.It’s not her fault. It’s mine. And it’s eating away at my guts.“ What ar
ANNE “ Spar? ” A girl rushes off to me when she sees me standing by the tree near the training ground. I look back at her and shake my head. I have been watching the young girls and boys training in the ground for a while and by the looks of it, no one here is of high status. Everyone is the son or daughter of Patrol guards or lower ranked warriors. I shouldn’t be wasting my time with them. “ Haven’t seen you around before. Who are you by the way? ” She asks curiously instead of leaving me here. “ Did you come with our new Luna? ” She adds, her honey eyes sparkling with excitement. At least, the pack is happy with getting the Luna. The news travelled too fast around the pack though. I bet it’s Ryker or Zio’s doing. “ I am your Luna’s friend. ” I shrug my shoulders and look behind her. A new girl has come in the training ground. The amateur fighters give her way. There is reluctance in everyone’s stance and the aura of respect can not be ignored. “ Really? ” She steps closer to
ANNE “ Our pack doesn’t have such weird… ” She can’t find the right words as she tries to sympathise with me. She goes silent and helps me to her house. It’s a huge villa, close to Zio’s house. Her parents are not home. She tells me that they live in the city and look after Ryker’s business along with his sister. I didn’t know he had a sister. Wow. After sitting me down on one of the couches in her living room, she goes to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water. I take the time to look around her tidy living room. There are pictures hanged everywhere, so out of place yet oddly fitting in with the blue and white theme. “ Here. ” She comes back and hands me the glass of water. I take the glass and gulp down the water in one go before placing the glass down on the centre table. “ Are you living alone for the time being? ” I inquire. I have to get to the part now. “ Yes. ” She replies curtly and plops down on the couch beside me. I stay silent, giving her the chance to start blurt
NATALIEI am burning. That’s all I feel and sense.But it’s not the usual kind of I—am—feeling—hot burning sensation. It’s more like My—body—is—kept—on—an—ice—block kind of burning sensation.I am itching to get off this block or control this sensation somehow.Lost in the abyss of my own battling conscious, I see the silhouette in the dark. A raven haired woman stands in the distance, her back facing me. As I watch her, fire starts licking her long fingers, spreading to her palms, engulfing the sleeves of her gown.I gasp but find myself unable to move, to talk, to reach out.The fire brightens everything, the darkness hides away like a scared child. She turns around, her soft features coming into my view. Gradually, the corner of her lips turn up. The gesture makes me uneasy unlike the expectation.The icy burn becomes worse. The surroundings become suffocating. I suck in huge breaths, trying my best to keep myself alive, less suffocated.But it all disappears. I break out of whate
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. If you liked this book, do check out other books from me that are available on the Goodnovel app. Omega for the Alpha
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. Rhys Ambrose—Natalie and Ryker named their son together.Ryker had stepped out of the room with his baby only when Natalie had fallen asleep under the influence of some potions. My heart had filled with so much happiness for my
