RYKER

I take a deep, deep breath until my lungs fill with oxygen to the brim.

I need to calm my tits.

“ She knows? ” I exhale and move back to my spot, slumping down over the chair.

The genre of the story of my life is changing from Action to Melodrama. Great! Fucking fantastic!

“ She…doesn’t. ” Zero nods to himself.

“ What a twist of events. So Luna’s sexy friend is giving her a wolf suppressant. And that friend is Zero’s mate. And Zero is a part of our small aware—of—all—secrets group. ” Zio claps his hands, chuckling.

I shoot him a side glare. He coughs and sits straight in the chair.

“ We are fucked. ” He cringes.

“ How important is this mate to you? ” I face Zero, questioning.

He blinks at me robotically. Awkward silence hangs in the air as I wait for an answer. My eyebrows rise in curiosity when he doesn’t answer me for the longest time.

“ I didn’t realise it was a question. ” He takes hint from my raised eyebrows and states calmly.

Oh. That’s a perfect answer.

Oh oh I hope Natalie is safe. If Ryker told his sister that Natalie would be in danger from her pack then his sister wouldn’t have taken Natalie out. See what keeping secrets does, Ryker!

    NATALIE~A little while earlier…Ryker walked out on me again, without taking me seriously and without paying attention to what I was saying to him. Or more like threatening him with.It seems like, even to me, the rejection remains the only leverage I have against him when he acts like an asshole to me most of the times.How can he ask me to choose? On a honest note, I don’t harbour any great love for my family or anyone from that pack, but I despise war. I despise imagining myself seeing them all dead. Blood, agony, and seeing Ryker as a monster inflicting pain…that’s another thing I don’t want to witness — not when he is up against the people I once cared about and wanted to return to until recently.But when I don’t really love them, why do I keep thinking about how Emilie might be feeling after losing her mate? How are my parents faring with their heartbroken, pushed to the door of insanity daughter? I sigh, rubbing my burning eyes with the tips of my forefingers to ease the ac

    NATALIE ~A little while earlier... “ It’s nothing like you think. I don’t have my clothes with me. That’s why I am wearing this. ” It’s embarrassing to cut her off to say something so fucking stupid. My cheeks start burning as soon as I am done explaining myself. My heart drums in my ears awkwardly. Her bright smile falls, her lips setting in a thin line. “ My brother didn’t bother taking you out for shopping? Or asking someone to get clothes for you? ” She inquires, sliding closer to me. Uneasily, I slip further back. The sunshine will blind my eyes if I stay too close, my mind screams. “ He—uh…” I don’t feel like saying something against him to his sister. “ He is busy. ” I nod, settling with the most used excuse by all women. “ But I am not busy. ” She chimes, her smile returning on her red painted lips. “ What— ” Before I get another word out of my mouth, she clamps her soft hand around my wrist and pulls me up. Surprised at the suddenness, I try to resist but she effor

    NATALIEFor me, running away could never be an option when people I love are in danger. Therefore, instead of listening to Rhianna and running away as soon as I saw the men approaching us, I stayed there.I was not much help. I could tell by the way Rhianna, Giana and Anne immediately shifted and stood before me, trying to shield me from the enemies.How many were they? I couldn’t tell. I was too out of it. I had barely managed to get down from the car and I hardly made out what was happening around.Their injuries had healed instantly but mine were far from closing up on their own. My head was bleeding, my arm was bleeding, my neck was bleeding. Numerous shards of glass were stuck deep in my flesh.Still, I tried to shake off the dizziness and nausea and do something — anything. And anything meant trying to focus, blink away the wave of unconsciousness which threatened to fall over me and ignoring the howls of Rhianna who was fighting the shifted wolves harder than Anne and Giana.

    NATALIEThe bomb has been dropped. Alpha Wilson remains in shock for a while, staring at the phone while Ryker has hanged up long ago.I do feel the urge to explain why his son was killed but when I recall how Anne and Giana were attacked, and dragged mercilessly, the urge dies on its own.I want to see them. More than my fucking family, I care about them. I won’t be able to live if something has happened to any one of them because of me.“ Alpha…” I try to call him, to break him out of the trance.It takes him some more moments to process everything and when reality sinks, his eyes change colour and pin me down.“ Is this true? Did Ryker kill — kill Enzo? ” I have never been asked such a difficult question in my life before.The pained look in his eyes and the anger slowly taking over his features renders me speechless. I open my mouth and close it when I realise what he is going to do whether I answer him or not.And it does happen. As soon as my silence provides him with the answe

    NATALIE“ What is Alpha going to do with us? ” Giana murmurs, tears rolling down her cheeks.“ What he should have done long ago so you never got the chance to run away and bring shame to the pack. ” Dad grunts from behind me, his fingers digging in my shoulder to keep me on my knees.I grit my teeth, my heart hardening towards him. He felt ashamed — that’s all he has to say, that’s all he has ever said to me. “ If this list of things to be ashamed for runs so long…you should add one thing in it. Be ashamed of being such a horrible father to me. ” I whisper under my breath.“ It’s all your fault. If only you were not a weak wolf less child, everything would have been fine with our family! ” Mom shouts from somewhere behind me.My so—called hardened heart drowns to the pit of my stomach. I glance down at my hands. The shimmer under my skin pulses firmly.‘ Look up. ’ The sweet voice of a female purrs in my head.I throw my head back and look ahead. “ He came. I didn’t expect him to c

    RYKERIt was not enough. Caging her, keeping an eye on her all the time was not enough.Just one wrong move from Rhianna and she was in their clutches. I set out to find her as soon as panic surged through me and I sensed her pain. Zio got Rhianna’s phone location tracked and we reached the spot where they had the accident.Rhianna was there, injured but alive yet Natalie was not. I knew immediately where she must be but I refrained from calling Wilson on my own. Instead, I prepared for war. My heart was drumming in my ears all the while. I wanted to see her. I was angry at her but worry won over rage easily. I knew I would never be able to forgive myself if I lose her too. I didn’t ever feel so fucking scared even when my whole life I was on the verge of being executed myself. The moment I saw her good for nothing father holding her down on her knees, my rational thinking was thrown out the window.The monster which I have always tried to keep hidden, threatened to spring out.

    RYKER When her father’s shrieks become louder, I snap my gaze to his figure. The fire is now spreading towards his neck, fast and relentless. Curling my hands into fists, I move forth and reach him in a hurry. Fucking shit! I grip his neck, my hands burning in the fire as I throw him aside and follow him. My eyes glance back at the body which is now turning to ashes, the fire refusing to die until he has turned to coal. There is no heartbeat, no signs of life in him. Natalie killed Alpha fucking idiot accidentally. I shake my head. ‘ Come and save this one too. I am not going anywhere near him. ’ Zio gets the message and comes to Beta’s aid right away. I take this time and face the wolf. She is still helplessly standing in the distance, unable to step forward or backward, fearing the fire engulfing someone else. Her eyes are fixed at Alpha Wilson’s lifeless body. My heart aches. I want to reach out to her but even I can’t do that at this moment. The wounds inflicted by her f

    NATALIEI jerk awake when something touches my face. My whole body is aching like some horse has trampled over it.“ Hey! ” His velvety voice falls on my ears.His fingers glide over my cheek. I stare at the familiar ceiling of my room in his home.Perhaps, I was dreaming. I never went out of here. “ Babylove? ” He calls me out, soft and careful.My gaze snaps to his face and calmness spreads throughout me.“ Ryker. ” I choke.“ I am here. ” He nods.Screams ring in my ears, making me close my eyes. It’s supposed to be a dream, a fucking nightmare. I can’t possibly burn someone to ashes. That’s not me.“ Don’t think about it. The more you do, the more it will haunt you. ” My eyes crack open, landing on his face once more. The shock phase is over for me. It’s time to come to terms with it.“ How can I not think about it? I killed him. ” I utter.My eyes squeeze shut, recalling the look on everyone’s faces when I managed to shift back. It was pure horror. Strangely, I could sense it h

  • 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. 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.
