"Logan please leave me alone" i try to wrip my wrist out of his grip as i feel sparks run up the arm he is currently clutching. My fears are right Logan Hall the future alpha of the Battlefang pack is my mate.
"Riley please i know you can feel it. The moon goddess has paired us together and there is not getting away from that" he says just above a whisper.
"Please I cant do this" i say finally prying my wrist from his grip. I run into the school in search of my friends. Aurora Rice is my best friend we have been since we where in diapers. Aurora in the daughter of Sam and Jill rice. Sam is my fathers current betta. Of course Aurora and I are also friends with Tilley Marshall who is Tyler Marshalls daughter. Tyler has yet to find his mate and Tilleys mother is human.
I head to my locker which i find decorated for my birthday Tilley and Aurora are standing by there lockers which where next to mine. "Hey" i said as i approached them.
"Happy Birthday Riley" Aurora sang out and pulled me into a bone crushing hug. Tilley was next she wasnt as stron as me and Aurora but she still gave me a tight hug.
Most of our classes where together and i knew at lunch time i was going to have to tell them. Tell them that Logan Hall is my mate and at the same time avoid him at all causes.
The first 2 periods went off without a hitch but i knew i would see logan in 3rd period atleast we didnt sit next to eachother. I walk into class and there he was all blue eyes and brown hair and he had moved his seat to sit next to me. I avoid making eye contact with him, for years he torchured and bullied me. Now he is my mate and now he will never leave me alone.
"Riley please you are my mate and i know i have been always mean to you. But please forgive me i will give you the world and protect you with my life" Logan says while he reaches for my hand.I pull my hand away from his reach instantly. Not only was Logan in this class but so was his future Betta Alex Cole and his twin sister AshleyThey had surrounded me.
"Let me talk to he logan" i hear Ashley whisper to him. I always really liked Ashley we have had to do some group projects together. Despite her being from a rival pack I would of considered being her friend but because of Logan I knew i couldnt.
The rest of 3rd period was quiet and logan didnt bother saying anything else or trying to touch me. When the bell rang i jumped up heading towards my next class before they could even react. I knew i had atleast 2 more classes with Ashley and they where all in my same lunch period but i didnt want to worry about that right now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its finally time for lunch and im regretting having to go to the cafeteria. I get in line with Aurora and Tilley neither of them have suspected anything yet and I will enlighten them as soon as we sit.
"Hey Riley" I hear Ashley say from behind me. I turn and she is standing there Alex and Logan. Logan is looking at the ground and i politely wave to her and Alex. I recieve strange looks from my friends, me and Ashley never really talked other then when we are in class doing a project
We finally get our food and sit at our usual table in back corner of the cafeteria. "What was that all about" Tilley finally asked.
"Well i have to tell you guys something" i say staring down at my hands. "I found my mate this morning a..and it Logan Hall" They both looked at me shocked. They knew how logan has treated me all this time and the moon goddess puts us together.
"Well what can I say" Auraro says and reaches over and grasps my hand. "Are you thinking about rejecting him? or Are you going to give him a fair chance?" she asks. Just as Logan, Ashley came and sat at our table. Logan made sure to sit in the seat directly next to me.
"Hi im Logan Hall" he says to my friends. "And this is my twin sister Ashley and my future Betta Alex Cole". Aurora looks at him confused why is he all of a sudden sitting with us.
"We know who you are" Aurora mutters. "My name is Aurora rice my father is Sam Rice the current Betta of the night fall pack" she made sure to add that in. Logan nods and turns to Tilley waiting for her to introduce herself.
"Hi my name is Tilley Marshall my father is Tyler Marshall the future betta of the night fall pack. If you ever hurt my best friend i will end you, do we have an understanding. Logan just nods and stares down at his untouched food.
I need out of here yet again i feel trapped between my best fruends and mate. "I need to go" is all i said before getting up and throwing my untouched food away and walking towards the bathroom, i know im being followed
"Riley wait up" i hear Ashley call from behind me. I slowly turn around to face her. "Can we talke" I nod in response and we continue to walk out towards the courtyard."What is it Ashley" i say already knowing what she wanted. We sat under one of the few trees in courtyard. For late September it was oddly warm out."I know how you feel about Logan and I know its breaking his heart. All he ever wanted was to find his mate and now that he did, he is starting to change for the better" she says. "Riley I know Logan hasnt always been nice to you. But please know he would never hurt you. The way you are acting towards him is breaking his heart"."Ashley im just to scared of him. He has done some really awfull things to me and i dont know if i can just forget that.We arent even in the same pack, hell our packs hate eachother" i say just above a whisper."Riley Logan needs you! He is going to have to take over our pack at a younger age then most. Our father is unwell he does not have much ti
Never have i felt so safe and the same time terrified. I could feel Logan relax as he breathed in the scent of my hair."Logan i cant do this not yet" I say struggling to get out of his arms. The look on his face made my heart wrench. "Lunch is almost over anyway. I say standing up and grabbing my bag."I would like for you to come meet my father" he suddenly says. "He doesnt have much time and i want him to have the chance to meet my mate and future Luna. Ill pick you up tommorow afterschool""I cant tommorow" I say. "I have alot going on and i cant miss any of it" i say not wanting him to know tommorow is my birthday."Ok maybe the day after then. Riley I want you to be in my life, i will do anything to make this work" he says. We both hear the bell ring signaling lunch was over. "Ill see you latter". He says before grabbing his own backpack and leaving the courtyard,I head straight to my locker to collect my books for my 3 remaining classes. I groan when i see that Aurora and Till
Suddenly Ryker slammed on his brakes and ripped his car into the closest parking lot. "Get out, get out of my car" he screamed.Without saying a word i grab my backpack and climb out. He burns out of the parking lot leaving me to walk the rest of the way home. It wouldnt be the first time I walked home, but the way my brother just left me on the side of the road just made the walk that much harder.Not wanting to go straight home i decide to go to my favorite quiet place. A clearing not far from the pack house where me and my family live. This is where me and my father decided I would shift for the first time. I lay with my backpack under my head and just watch the clouds go by.Next thing I know I wake up to the feeling of being carried. It was now dark, i must have fallen asleep. I open my eyes and see Auroras father Betta Sam carrying me. I wondered who sent the search party out for me. I wonder if Logan knew i had been missing since after school."Sam" I croak. He looks at me with
"Of course you guys are welcome to come to my birthday and shift" I say my tears have started to stop. Logans scent was so calming i didnt want him to leave. "I am glad to hear it. I know you where planning on taking the rest of the week off from school. I was hoping on friday you would go with me to see my father. I know after today you have been through alot, but my father is getting worse and i have told him about you. He really cant speak but there was a certain sparkle in his eyes" he says. As long as i feel okay myself" i say. He looks me in the eyes and i could see the worry. "i understand, your first shift will be paiunful at first but then once you are in your wolf form it will be like you where never in pain" he says trying to reasure me. "Thank you" i say. "thank you for coming to check on me". I wanted to tell him that he also helped me calm down but i keep that to myself. "I dont want you to worry about your brother he is not going to hurt you anymore. I meant it whe
I suddenly lost my appetite, talking about the argument with my brother has made me feel like i was going to be sick. I stand to go back to the room but my father stops me."Riley sit down and eat your breakfast dont be silly. You are going to need your strength for latter" he says befrore i go back to sit down.He is right after my meeting with the elders and the rest of the pack. I get to do my first shift and our pack goes for my first run. I am glad my father is allowing Logan, Ashley, and Alew to run with us. Yes my trust for logan is not still all there but i am working on it.I finish my breakfast and go to get changed in my bedroom. Before leaving the breakfast bar my father lets me know that the meeting was in about 15 minutes. I hurry to get into something comfortable but also formal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The meeting with the elders went well. They asked about my plans for the
Logan gave me the most goregous gold and diamond bracelet. When the afternoon sun hit it, thebracelet just glistened."Thank you Logan, I love it" I said to him ."Your very welcome" he said just holding my hand. "okay everyone it is time to head back. We are going to ne serving dinner and refreshments. All are invited that includes our guest from the Battle fang Pack" My father announced.We all started heading back to the pack house. Me and logan walked hand in hand in a comfortable silence. When we arrived back it was decorated with baloon and streamers. I knew that Julia and Shannon have been hard at work trying to make today special for me despite the drama with my brother."Happy Birthday Riley" shouted Aurora as she ran up to me. "I cant wait untill you see what i got you" She whispered in my ear."Happy Birthday Ri" Tilley says pulling me into a bone crusing hug."Thank you" i say and Tilley takes notice of my new bracelet."Logan gave that to you didnt he" she whispered. I
The gift my brother got me. I completely forgot about it. "I wont" i tell her."I have to go" She says before leaving. I was happy she was hear to celebrate with us. But it felt off that my brother wasnt with her.I decide to wait for everyone to leave to open my brothers present. I didnt know how i would react and I didnt want everyone to see it."Riley I will call you tommorow" Logan says. He pulled me to his chest hugging me tight. I relax taking in his scent. He kisses me on the cheek and lets go. Him Ashley and Alex leave with a simple wave. I make my way back to my room where i had left the present my brother gave me, I take a deep breath and open it. The first thing i come accrossed is a letter.Dear Riley,I am sorry how i reacted when you told me Logan Hall was your mate. I just want to protect you from being hurt by them. Seeing how he was when you where missing showed me that Logan has really changed. I am also sorry for missing your title assignment. I am greatful that yo
I didn’t get much sleep last night I was nervous about meeting Logan’s after. I lay restless in bed just thinking about what will I say.I finally got up at 10 to start getting ready. Logan said he will be here at 11. I dressed simply in blue jeans and a black V-neck.At 11 o’clock there was a knock on the door. I open it to reveal Logan standing there with his hands stuffed in his pockets.“Hey are you ready to go” he asks as I step out.“As ready as I’ll ever be” I say following him to his car.We get in and the ride is a comfortable silent. Once we get to there pack house I feel like I’m going to throw up. But I know it’s just my nerves. “Breathe everything will be ok” Logan says as he opens my door. I step out of the car and he leads the way.We enter a small room on the first floor. Alpha Brayden is laying on a small hospital bed. I barely recognize him. I have seen him at a few alpha meetings but have never spoken to him.“Riley it’s nice to meet you” Brayden says. “Riley it’s
Riley's POVThe rest of the school day was quiet. Thankfully i dont have many classes with either Logan or Ashleigh. I am headed to my last class of the day which is History. Upon entering the room i see Logan and Ashleigh already seated and there is only one empty. Of course it has to be between Logan and Ashleigh.I take my seat and take my notebook out of my bag trying to avoid eye contact with either of them. "Hey" Logan says drawing my attention to him."Hey" I say just wanting this conversation to be over as fast as it started."Hows your first day back going" is he for real trying to actually have a conversation with me. I have no interest in talking to him. I wish he would just leave me alone."Its fine" is all i say. I stare at the teacher pleading him to start class. That was the end of our discussion as class begins. The finale bell rang and I grabbed my stuff and headed from the front doors. I made sure to have everything i needed so i didnt have to make an extra stop a
Rileys POV It has beem 2 years since i went to regular school. Being home schooled was a blessing but also a curse. Starting today i agreed to return to the regions highschool untill graduation. It has also been 2 years since I have seen Logan Hall and since the milk incident. I agreed to return because i miss my friends and i wanted to graduate with them.I grab my backpack and head downstairs to have breakfast with my dad and Ryker. They are sitting at the table waiting for me."Good morning honey are you ready for school" it was my father who spoke first. We start passing the plates of food around. We where having eggs and bacon, this is my brothers favorite breakfast food. It is rare that my brother who is here for breakfast. Ever since he found his mate he is rarely here."I believe so, i am just going to keep my distance from the Hall family period" i say taking the orange juice from Ryker."That sounds like a great idea. I had Jasmine make you a bag lunch so you can avoid the
Logan's POVThe next day at school i stil held out hope that Riley would show up and I could avoid going on her packs land. Mate or not i dont belong there and even with the Alpahs permission it doesnt feel right. I started to gain my wolfs sense when i was 12. My pack is nitorius for having there wolfs especially the alphas gain there sense's at an early age. my father got his at the age of 10. He knew who his mate was at the age of 15. Ashleigh hasnt spoken directly to me since the milk incident. I dont blame her at all, I was wrong for what I did. I really dont think I have completely forgiven myslef. I can even tell my wolf is mad at me.When the final bell rang I headed out with my friends to the front of the school. To my suprise Riley was sitting under the tree infront of the school.Ashleigh is behind me and I heard her gasp we both didnt expect her to meet me here, "Logan" Ashleigh says. I ignore her and head stright to Riley.She stands and meets me half way. "What do you
Logan’s pov My anger got the best of me and it got me suspended for 10 days. I hate her, why her presence bothers me this much. School says I have to apologize when I got back to school. Ashley say Riley Ward hasn’t been at school since that day. “Son” my father calls me as I pass his office. “Yes alpha” I know I am in trouble. I was raised better then this my mother would castrate me if she knew what I did. “You go back to school tomorrow and I expect you to apologize to the girl. And from now on if there is another incident with the 2 of you. You’re going to be an omega. Do you understand? I am done with this crap” he says. He has been furious with me. My training the last 10 days has been hard real hard. “Yes sir” I say and bow my head. Tommorow is the day I make things right with Riley! —————————————— I arrive at school the next morning and stand out front with Ashley. We wait until the first bell rings but Riley never shows up. Damn I knew it I knew there was a reason I
Riley’s POV4 years agoI have never disliked someone as much as I dislike Logan hall and his pack. Today he pushed me into my locker and I cut my arm. My brother isn’t in middle school anymore so he can’t protect me.I keep my head down while me and my best friend Aurora head to class. I trip and land on my knees, there’s laughing.“Stupid dirty omega watch where you’re going next time”. There he is again, why can’t he just leave me alone.I get to my feet and look him straight in the eyes. “Leave me alone Logan Hall you are disgrace to your pack and I hate you” I scream in his face.“Logan let’s go” says his sister Ashley she is trying to pull him away from me. “If anyone is a disgrace to there pack it’s you. You’re nothing but an Omega. I am the future alpha of my pack” He is dragged away from me and I just go to my next class how can he treat me like that it’s not fair. ——————————-It’s now lunch time and I am in line for food. Of course directly behind me is Logan and his sist
It was Ryker who offered the ride. I turn and look at Katie who nods in agreement.“ Ok if it’s ok with her then it’s fine with me” Logan says giving my hand a tight squeeze. He turns kisses me on the cheek and whispers in my ear “if u need me call me”With that he is out the door. I turn to my family who seem to be watching me closely“So how have things been” I say looking over to my dad.“They have been good. We do miss you around the pack house though” he says looking at Kayson in his arms.“I didn’t expect to be a Luna. Especially for Logan Hall he is the person I ever expected to be my mate” I say looking Kayson. “Alpha Logan is your mate we all understand that. But Riley u need to give him a fair chance. You keep pushing him away and he keeps fighting for you 2 just love him” my dad says glancing at Ryker who tenses at his words.“I am trying he just wants me to forget everything that happened between us when we were young” I say handing Kayson to Katie. “ I think I am ready to
The ride to my packs hospital felt longer then usual. Logan sat driving with his hand on my leg as road in silence. My nerves are all over the place. There is bad blood between my brother and Logan. But in order for my family to accept him as my mate he needs to come around.“We’re here” Logan says distracting me from my thoughts. We get out and head inside hand in hand. We head to reception where I see my father asking the receptionist about Katie.“Hi dad” I say as we approach. He turns to see me and Logan standing behind him.“hi Riley, thank you for coming” he pulls me into a hug. “Alpha Logan” he says extending his hand to Logan after releasing me.“Alpha” Logan says shaking his hand and then reaches for mine.“Are you ready to go meet your nephew” my father ushers us towards the elevator.We head up to Labor and Delivery which is on the 3rd floor. The ride up there was quiet. Once we get up there a nurse directs us to Katie’s room.I go in first Katie is sitting up in bed holdi
It’s been a little over a week since me and Logan have spoken. I don’t even look in his direction when we pass or eat breakfast together. The mate bond is drawing me to him but I still keep my distanceToday I start to pack my bags to go back home. I can keep my distance from there and be with my friends and family. I turn while zipping my suitcase to see Logan standing in the doorway.“You’re leaving” he asks? “I know it hasn’t been great here but you’re just going to leave”. He comes in and stands by me. I hold my breath, I want to jump into his arms but I also want to push him away.“Why stay we don’t talk or spend time with each other. Hell this is the first time you even acknowledged me in over a week. I can go home and you can avoid me while I’m with my family and friends” I say going to walk past him.“I have been busy” he says grabbing my arm. “My father just died. His funeral was just 2 days ago, I am not even ready to be the alpha but here I am. You don’t understand that I a
