NATALIE It’s been a month since I started training with Jake. The first step of this program was to get beaten—a lot and learn to anticipate blows, moves. It took me a week to start blocking them or dodging. Then we were onto the next level where I was supposed to hit back. It’s been three weeks and I haven’t done that even once. It seems like all the training I received previously was of no use against a real opponent. But, I believe I am getting better at this now. I still haven’t hit Jake, I know, but I have defended myself better than ever before. In the morning, I trained, exercised, ate breakfast. During the rest of the day, I learned a lot of things about the pack from the other guard Luke. In the night, Ryke often took me to the forest so I can shift back and forth and get a hang of my abilities. I believe I can control when to not start burning or burn things around me but when I feel too much, I can’t help but let the energy escape from my body. The life energy I have
NATALIE“ What’s wrong? ” I ask Jake who has locked the main door and is now standing by it, his hands crossed in front of him.“ Nothing, Luna. ” His eyes flicker across the living room before landing over me.This is getting on my nerves now. He always stands outside and never locks the door from inside.“ Jake. Tell me. ” I sigh, getting up from the couch.I don’t know why but I have a bad feeling about this whole thing. Ryke’s presence in North Forest Pack is making me even more restless.I know he gave the Alpha position to one of his friends whom I never met. The thing I don’t understand is why did he go there and why did he look so serious when he left?“ It’s nothing Luna. Please sit down and wait until Alpha comes back. ” Jake answers blandly.I plop down on the couch, my gaze travelling towards the living room’s glass wall. It’s been hours since he left and he is still not back. A movement near the Beta’s house catches my attention. Squinting my eyes, I focus on the three s
NATALIE My eyes trail off to the off—white wolf running alongside a grey wolf. A line begins to form, a good side which helps me recognise who is who. I won’t cause anymore accidents. Clenching my hands into fists, I walk forth, determined to do what I never thought I ever will. The group of pack warriors, give me way and let me walk to the front, facing the rogues. They all have oddly stopped when they saw the pack members falling back and coming into a defensive formation. Rogues don’t have such detailed thoughts. They can’t think so straight. It’s absurd that they even have one huge wolf standing at the front, snorting down at me. An Alpha. An even absurd sight to see. It’s almost like they are a pack, a hierarchical pack. But, the foul smell hanging in the air gives away their identity. When I stop in front of the whole shifted wolf army of the pack, the supposed rogue Alpha shifts back to his human form. I breathe in through my nose and unclench my hands. “ It’s good y
RYKER“ Send all the injured to the infirmary. ” I tell Zio, staring down at Anne who fainted after bearing the pain for a while.“ Sure, Alpha. ” It was so hard to get rid of the fire burning her skin. But the moment Natalie ran away, the fire died on its own. And Anne lost consciousness.“ You are going to be fine. ” Her other friend pats Anne’s hand, whispering to her while tears roll down her cheeks.My eyes are drawn to Anne’s face. Her cheeks are burned so bad. The skin has peeled off, leaving nothing but exposed flesh and blood. The other friend’s skin didn’t catch fire when her clothes caught fire last time. So, she is unaware of the fact that the wounds barely heal. Even after healing, the nasty scars remain behind—a constant reminder of what happened.The state Anne is in, makes me doubt that she will stay alive enough to feel horrified about the marks. She is almost dead, barely holding on to the frail thread of life. The pack members help Zio take everyone to the infirm
RYKER “ Stay away! ” She yells, standing up with a jerk and pushing herself in the farthest corner of the shower room.“ Love. You will never hurt me. ” I whisper tenderly, lifting a hand to grab her wrist.She shakes her head hysterically and tugs her hands back to keep me away. “ I thought the same about Anne. I can’t hurt her. I can’t hurt her. I can’t… ” Tears stream down her blood—shot eyes, disappearing into the water, becoming one with it. “ …hurt her. It was not me. I can never do it. ” “ I know. It was…not you. ” I murmur, feeling the pain in my heart intensifying ten folds. “ It was an accident. You can never hurt her deliberately. ” Even if that snake betrayed you, you can never do the same to her. She pauses and cranes back her neck to peer into my eyes. The dull look in her eyes scares me.“ It was a dream. I am sure. ” From disbelief to shock to disbelief. She is swinging back and forth.The worst thing that can happen after such incidents is your refusal to accept
NATALIERyker takes me to the infirmary which is filled with injured pack members and rogues. The putrid stench of burned flesh is hanging in the air like a haunting ghost taunting my very existence.My fingers tighten around Ryker’s hand as the grief and guilt threatens to consume me as a whole. Each step which carries me close to Anne sends my mind into a trance of numbness. I can’t feel my body, my wolf, my heart. I feel cold and the only thing keeping me warm is Ryker’s hand intertwined with mine, assuring me that it is going to be alright.“ Here. She is inside. ” He halts outside a room and pulls me ahead.The door is open, allowing me to peek inside. My eyes land at the back of an unfamiliar man first. He stands beside the bed, staring down at Anne.My gaze travels to Anne’s face and my breath gets stuck in my throat. My lungs ache, my face heating up.There are stained bandages covering her cheeks, pressed down on the wounds to stop the bleeding. I can’t see her face except f
NATALIE“ Anne. ” I call out her name again, higher in volume this time.She doesn’t respond. The sound of her heartbeat drowns even more until it’s a weak tik-tik in my ears and nothing else.“ Anne. ” I yelp, tears sliding down my cheeks.I drop my head down, anger taking the place of hurt quickly. A thorn pierces my heart, making me bleed inside.Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath. It’s all my fault. My hold tightens around her hand until I am unconsciously drawing her blood. The surge of energy shoots down my hand to her flesh, quick and soothing.All the memories, all the moments, all my life flashes before my eyes. Her bright smile, the wicked ways, and those odd habits all make me cry harder.We have been friends—true friends. She looked after me better than my own family. If anyone says it’s not true, I will never believe it. And I—I killed her. The words knock the breath out of me. My eyes snap open, landing on Anne's hand, which I am holding. There is some kind of blue
NATALIE The weakness doesn’t go away even when I wake up the next morning and wash up. Searching for Ryke, I go down the stairs and find him sitting on the couch leisurely. Zio is standing in front of him, staring down fiercely. Their eyes are shadowed, giving away their communication through the mind—link. “ Seriously? ” I scoff, capturing their attention. Zio shoots me an annoyed glance which he covers up with a flat smile instantly. Ryke slowly turns to me, his eyes roaming my body before finally holding my gaze. “ You two are doing something secretly again. ” I huff, raking my fingers through my hair. “ And, Baby Love? ” Ryke smiles lazily. “ And I need to know what it is. ” I lower my voice, mumbling. “ You and Zio were not here yesterday night. No one was able to mind—link you two and the rogues were wreaking havoc. ” “ And you killed fifty-six of them. Problem solved. ” Zio claps his hands, chiming in a bitchy fake tone. “ And almost burned one of the few people I con
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
