[N.B: This is what happened to Ryan six months before he died]RyanI shook my head with a sad look on my face as I walked out of her room. "Get out," she screamed at me, breaking my heart into shreds. Her voice was filled with hatred and anger. Her face wasn't as nice and accommodating as it used to be.She wasn't the same loving and caring mate that I married. She had changed drastically due to the mistake that I made. I wish I didn't kill her parents back then. But how am I going to know that they were her lost, gone parents?I slumped hard on the floor before the door with tears building in the corner of my eyes.I jerked up from the cold floor and ran into my room. I slammed the door shut and slumped hard on the sofa. I stood up from the chair and reached out to the liquor in the cabinet. I pulled open the cover and gulped half of the content in a go. It burned my throat as I continued to drink it but I ignored the pain. The pain I'm feeling right now can't be compared to the p
Natalie"Who is that?" I asked and looked up as a harsh knock landed at the door. "Kaitlyn, the royal maid," I heard a feminine voice from behind. "Come in," I muttered, and the door pulled open with a creaking sound revealing the maid who walked in with her head bowed in respect. "Good morning, my lady," she greeted, and I flashed a smile at her. "What do you want?" I asked coldly as I stood up from the bed and walked up to the couch in my mini guest room. She followed me from behind. "The Alpha wants to have breakfast with you," she said, and I nodded my head gently. Damien is no longer regarded as the head Master. He's the Alpha of the pack. "Okay, you can take your leave," I said, and she nodded her head gently. She bowed her head respectfully and walked away. I took a deep breath and walked up to the dresser table. I sat down on the wooden chair before the mirror. I stared at my reflection for a while and a soft sigh escaped from my lips. I stood up from the chair, adj
Natalie"Thank you," I muttered with a sigh as I returned from the graveyard. I shook my head with a sigh as I stared at the pack house before me. I felt empty and void without Ryan. I thought I'd gotten over him until today when I visited his graveyard. I know he remains in my heart. Although he's dead, he'll forever be in my memory. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I turned to Denver who stared at me with a sad look for a while before he looked away. I lowered my head. "Hey come back," I said, and he turned his gaze to me. "How may I help you?" He asked with his arms crossed under his broad chest. I nodded my head gently. "I want you to take a break since you've been guarding me for a while," I said, and he arched his eyebrows. "I appreciate your help but I would have to decline it since I'm paid to protect you,""And I like to stay by your side," he emphasized, and I gulped down into nothing. Her eyes brimmed with tears as I stared at him for a while. I felt emotional b
THREE MONTHS EARLIERRyan I forced my eyes open as the sun cast its rays in my eyes. I whined softly as I felt a pang of pain hit my forehead. I closed my eyes quickly before the brightness of the room could blind me. I opened my eyes after my eyes adjusted to the brightness of the room. "Where am I?" I asked myself with a confused look on my face as I met myself in an unfamiliar room. The room wasn't big and classic, it was a local room with old items used as decoration. I sat up on the bed and rested my back on the wall with a confused look on my face wondering how I managed to end up in this place. The room that emitted from the room wasn't nice but it's accommodating. How did I get here? I couldn't help but ask myself. I held my head and whined in pain as I felt a pang of pain hit my forehead trying to force my head in remembering what happened to me. I clenched my fist angrily and bit my lower lips as the memory kicked in. I remembered how some wolves took advantage of my
Natalie"What's wrong with her?""I hope nothing happens to her,""I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything happens to her,""She's going to be fine,"I heard familiar voices around me with a weak hearing sense but I refused to open my eyes. They thought I'm still unconscious. But what happened to me? I couldn't help but ask myself. It's a mystery to me about what happened to me earlier. It's really surprising and strange, I vomited and fainted. I think something is wrong. And I hope it isn't what I'm thinking. I whined in pain and forced my eyes open as I felt a pang of pain hit my head. Though I didn't want to open my eyes, I can't resist the pain that travels through my body. It's an excruciating and unbearable pain. I looked up and my gaze met Rihanna who rushed toward me with a worried look on her face. "How are you, my lady? Hope nothing is wrong with you," she inquired, and I nodded my head in agreement with her questions. "Nothing is wrong with me," I assure her
Natalie"Huh?" He stared at me with a surprised look as I pulled away from the kiss. "What's wrong?" He asked, and I shook my head negatively. "Nothing, I'm fine," I said even though it was a big flat lie. I'm not anywhere close to fine. I lowered my head and squinted my gaze as Denver stared at me firmly with a cold and intimidating look on his face. There's something about him that keeps reminding me of Ryan. "Are you sure?" He asked and leaned closer to me. "Yes, I'm fine," I shuddered as his cold breath crashed against my skin. "If anything is bothering you, don't hesitate to let me know,""I'm really happy," he smiled broadly as he sat me down on the couch beside the bed. "What's wrong? You look so happy today," I said, and he smiled again. It has been a long time since I've seen him smile genuinely. He looks handsome and hot while smiling even though he doesn't smile often. "What do you mean? I've always been happy especially when I'm around you," he said, and I scoffe
Ryan"You don't have to stress yourself to move out with me. You should have stayed indoors and relaxed," The old man, Felix, said. "You shouldn't have come with me because of your legs," he said as we both walked into the forest. A sharpened knife was in my pocket behind my back. I shook my head in disagreement. "I don't like staying indoors for so long. And besides, I'm getting better," I said, and he scoffed inwardly. I've been cooped up in my room for so long. I don't think I'll be able to stay there a little bit longer in the room. I need to walk around. Maybe it would process my healing ability very fast. I have missed my mate and everything about her. I'm sure she also missed me. I can't wait to see her again. She must be heartbroken and sad thinking that I'm dead. I wonder what she's passing through. I wish to see her but I can't possibly see considering my present situation. I can't leave the pack hurriedly because of my state. I'm sure the dark wolves would be lurking
NatalieI shook my head with a sigh as I watched him sleep peacefully on the couch like a kid. He looks hot and handsome while sleeping. I gulped down into nothing and took my gaze away from his pink lips before another thought crossed my mind. I wonder why he has to be so hot and handsome at the same time. He's irresistible. I took a deep breath as I walked closer to him. I shifted his body so he could sleep comfortably on the couch. Surprisingly, he didn't wake up after making contact with his body. He must be really tired and exhausted. I wondered how long he has been watching over me without sleeping. It's such a thing that someone as handsome as him has to be a guard. I sighed as the thought crossed my mind. I wanted to move him subtly to my bed but I had to get rid of the idea after the old memories of me and Ryan kicked me, saddening my heart. I remembered how I moved Ryan to my bed when he slept on the couch. Though it has been months since it happened, it felt like it j
Ryan"How was the shopping you went for?" I asked, and she sighed deeply. "It's quite good and bad,""Can you tell me more about it?" I asked, and she smiled. "It's frustrating how the customers in the shopping mall keep bowing to me every single time," "This made me feel uncomfortable," she said, and I chuckled. "Don't laugh at me," she snapped at me. "I'm sorry but you'd feel comfortable about it since you're officially my Luna," I said, and she nodded her head gently."I think you're right but it's not quite…" she suddenly stopped and rushed into the bathroom. "What's wrong?" I asked myself and stood up from the chair and walked into the bathroom. I shook my head with a sigh as I watched her puke into the clean sink. I couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her. She has been vomiting frequently for the past two days. I can't count how many times she vomited today. This can't possibly be a sickness. What symptoms could it be? "I need you to visit the doctor since you'
Natalie"Thank you for everything. I love you," I said and pulled him into a tight hug. "I should be thanking you instead. I missed you," he said, pulled away from the hug, and kissed my lips. I'm glad to have him in my life again. The last time I heard that he was killed in the forest, I felt empty and lonely. I'm glad he's back to fill me up with happiness. "You're the best that could ever happen to me," he smiled and caressed my cheeks. "Why are you telling me what I'm supposed to say to you?" He asked. "Because you're the best," I said."Of course, I'm," he smiled proudly, and I scoffed. "How do I look?" I asked as I stared at myself in the golden gown. "You look so hot and sexy that I want to eat you up right now," he said naughtily, and I blushed. "Stop flirting with me and focus," I said. "Yeah I know but that wouldn't stop me from eating you up tonight," he said and crooked my hand into his hand. "It's the time for the celebration, Alpha," a loud voice sounded shortl
Ryan"Doctor," I called repeatedly as I walked into the hospital with Natalie in my arms. She looked pale and lifeless but I don't want to believe that she'd died. How could she die when she knows that I need her at this moment? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. "Where is the doctor?" I asked the nurse who rushed toward me and pushed the stretcher forward. I placed Natalia gently on the stretcher and pushed her hurriedly to the ICU. I looked up as the door pulled open and the doctor walked in with a stethoscope hung around his neck. "This is the patient sir," the nurse explained, and he walked closer to her. He placed the stethoscope on her chest."Get the oxygen machine to this ward right away," he ordered, and the maid rushed out of the ICU ward. Within two minutes, she returned with a machine that was beeping. He took a material like a nose mask and wore it on her nose. That must be the oxygen. I watched as the system beeped. "Please you'll have to excuse us
Natalie"Please don't!" I screamed out angrily as Damien forced a silver dagger into his stomach. Ryan fell on the floor with blood gushing out of her stomach. My heart skipped in fear as I watched Ryan lay on the floor in his pool of blood. "Damien stop!" I yelled out angrily and rushed toward Damien with a cold look on my face. I fell on my knee and held Ryan's hand firmly with tears rolling down from my eyes. "Please wake up," I cried as I held Ryan's hand. I shook his body continually. I watched as Damien smiled victoriously. I jerked up from the bed sweating profusely. I took a deep breath as I reminded myself that it was a dream. I'm glad that it was indeed a dream because I wonder what could have happened. "What's wrong with you, my lady?" She asked with a worried look on my face. "Where is Ryan?" I asked worriedly with my heart pounding heavily. Though it was a dream, it felt real and I believed it. Something has to be done before it's too late. I can't afford anythi
NatalieI forced my eyelid to open. I closed my eyes quickly as the sun cast its ray into my eyes. The brightness had almost blinded my eyes. I opened my eyes slowly after my eyes adjusted to the brightness that illuminated the room. "How are you, Natalie? How are you feeling?" I looked up as I heard a cold and familiar voice above me. A soft gasp escaped from my lips as my gaze landed on Ryan. He stared at me intensely with his green forest eyes piercing into mine. "Who is this?" I asked myself, hoping I wasn't seeing things. I blinked my eyes countlessly to be sure, and it was Ryan that was standing before me. "You don't need to be surprised. This is Ryan," he said, and I scoffed inwardly, finding it hard to believe. How could I just believe him? "Denver?" I asked, and he scoffed. I saw him last night when I lost consciousness but I thought it was my hallucinations. I was seeing Ryan instead of Denver. Is this not a dream? I pinched myself to be sure and it wasn't. This is tr
Ryan"Natalie," I called out as she fell on the floor probably from the shock. I knew she was listening to us until I heard a heavy thud. I rushed toward her with a worried look on my face. She stared at me with a weak and fainted look on her face. "Is this Ryan?" She asked in a weak tone, and I nodded my head affirmatively. "Are you okay?" I asked worriedly and carried her in my arms in a bridal style. "Please wake up," I said as her eyelids were forced close. She opened her eyes slowly and trailed her hand on my face. "Is this Ryan?" She asked again, and I nodded my head in agreement. "Yeah. This is Ryan. This is your mate. I'm back for you. Please hang in there for me," I said, and she shook her head negatively. "I'm sorry for pushing you away," she said and fell unconscious. I growled deeply and my voice echoed heavily around the pack. I glared at Damien who stared at me still dealing with the shock. "You'll pay for this. I'll be back for you," I threatened, carried her, a
DamienI walked into the dungeon with my hand crossed behind my back. I smirked at him as he stared at me with a weak and fainted look. He looked miserable and tattered even though I'm yet to start with him. He's going to regret interfering in my affair again. "Look who we have here," I said and squatted low before him. He glared at me with an angry look but he didn't utter a word. Maybe the torture has made him lose his voice. "Do you like the way the guard treated you? I'm sure you do because that was a premium service," I said, and he scoffed. "What came over you that made you think you can talk back to me, huh?""It's surprising that you can't do anything to save yourself. You're just weak and vulnerable,""It's funny that you think high of yourself just because I told you to protect my Luna," I said, and he growled weakly. "She's not yours," he snarled, and my eyes flashed red. "What did you just say?" I asked hue he didn't say anything. He remained silent instead. I smi
Damien"What a gut! How dare she mention Ryan's name?" I asked myself with an angry and cold look on my face. I punched the wall beside me as I stomped out of her room. I clenched my fist and bit my lower lips trying to control the anger that took over me. At that moment, I just wanted to squeeze her small neck in my palm. I'm glad that I was able to control myself. I won't want to kill her and my unborn child inside her. I can't wait for her to give birth. It's three months to her delivery. I'm going to make sure she pays for mentioning his name. Who is Ryan? He's dead and gone forever. I reminded myself as I climbed down the stairs to my study room. How could she mention Ryan's name? And who was that guy that has been sending her messages? Or is he truly alive? I asked myself, finding it hard to think straight. Ryan can't possibly be alive? He'd better not survive because I won't hesitate to rip out his heart and soul this time. After all the months of trying to win her hear
Natalie"What do you think you're doing?" Damien asked with an angry look on his face as Denver held his hand firmly. He was unable to free his hand from Denver grip. "You're not allowed to lay a hand on me… on the Luna of the pack," Denver reprimanded him with a fierce look on his face. A soft gasp escaped from my lips, and I stared at Denver in pity and care. I stared at him for a while, signaling him to apologize but he remained adamant. Why is he behaving this way? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. I'm very sure Damien wouldn't let this slide and pass away. I watched them shocked and perplexed by Denver's adamant and arrogant attitude. What is he doing?"How dare you interfere in my business, huh?" Damien asked in an angry tone as he snatched his hand away from Denver's grip. "That's the job I'm paid for to protect her at all cost so I can't watch you abuse her in my presence," Denver replied coldly. "How dare you talk back to me?" He asked and slapped him
