Alpha River’s P.O.V I stood by the car watching my mate exit the entrance to her training grounds. She looked fucking delectable and she looked like a goddess as well as highly dangerous. The boys were really not joking about the assemble and the high-tech weapons. Kiara had a couple strapped on her and she looked like a sight to behold. I would never tell her that though. She is too cocky for her own good and I am not going to fuel it. I couldn’t stare at Chaos for long because then I am reminded of how much I fucked up. I honestly don’t know what to do to right my wrongs but I know for sure that I was going to do everything mortally possible to at least make up for the pain I have caused her and still causing her. I rounded the car to her side in the back and opened the door for her and after she was settled in, I moved to the other end and settled in. The car ride was silent but not tense and I was grateful for that. I didn’t talk and neither did she. The bond t
Alpha River's P.O.V I woke up to the sound of constant beeping. I opened my eyes and after blinking them for a few moments I became aware of my surroundings. I was in my room with a heart monitor and an IV stand beside my bed. What now? I was closing my eyes to go back to bed when I heard movements in my room. I turned and was met with the teary gaze of Matthews and a surprisingly worried Kiara sitting at the edge of my bed. "I’m dead aren't I?" I asked worriedly "No but why would you say that" Matthews asked heatedly "Kiara is here with a worried look on her face. I should be concerned" I snapped "You know River, you don't like me and the feeling is mutual. You hurt Chaos so badly that she might never recover from it. The problem is, you didn't only hurt Chaos but the entire family and one thing I know about my family is that they are a bunch of sadistic fuckers who know how to hold a grudge. What happened today was an attack from our homeland. We don't know wh
Chaos P.O.V I stood still in shock after River passed out. Aunt Persie and I have a love hate relationship because we never see eye to eye on most subjects. To hear that she had torn into my mate's back for me brought about this sense of love and respect. She has been known not to care about anyone other than her husband, my uncle Hades and their sons. For her to go out of her way for my sake put a smile on my face. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt someone shaking me. I turn to find Matthews looking at me with tears trailing down his face "Plea... please" he whispered hoarsely "Matthews...It's..." I tried to explain "He's going to die if this keeps going on." He whisper yelled before breaking down. I gently pulled him into my arms and it didn't take long before he was full on cry. I moved us to the far corner of the room as Kiara and the doctors worked together to stop the blood that was flowing like a tap. Kiara healed as much as she could an
Chaos’ P.O.V The meeting between my family and I about my mate’s condition moved from bad to worse. They were all adamant to help him. If anything, they wanted to encourage the others to do more. It’s like in their quest for revenge, they have forgotten that we were fully mated in both his way and our way and I go through the same hell he does. Only less. Yes I can do something about mine but that is not the point. I may hate River for what he has done and wish to kill him on certain days but I do not want him dead. Not this way. A death without honor. A death through torture. Kiara stopped by some time to tell us that he had been put in a medically induced coma and she did the best she could on his body and most especially his mind. Because that was the most dangerous part of this whole punishment. The mind is a fragile thing and its mental stability is at stake with the way my family was going about with their revenge. They know how to drive a person crazy and I c
STILL ALPHA RIVER'S P.O.V I don't know how long I stayed on my feet lost in my grieving thoughts. I saw my friends and family trying to snap me back to the present and only stopped when they realized their effort wasn't yielding any results. I could feel myself shutting down as the minutes passed by. Gathering the last of strength I possessed, I gently stood to my feet and without a word to anyone strutted off into my walk-in closet where I changed into a pair of black pants and a loose fit t-shirt. I didn't bother checking my reflection in the mirror. My mate was dead. Murdered and I had no one to impress. The only reason I was going out instead of grieving alone in my room was because I wanted to confirm that she was really dead. Somehow a large part of me is refusing to acknowledge that she is dead. Clearing my face of every emotion, I made my way out of my house. I could feel the somber mood in the air the moment I stepped foot outside. My heart broke further when I
Still Alpha River's P.O.V I woke up to the sun blaring on my face. I had this weird ass dream that my mate was dead. Getting up, I stretched and looked around. I was in my room. How did I get here? Who changed me? What happened yesterday? I stood from my room and shivered at the cold air that seem to be constantly moving on and around my body. I headed for the bathroom and after taking a well-deserved hot bath, I walked out and into my walk-in closet. I spared a quick glance at my reflection in a mirror and that was when it hit me. The absence of my mating mark was the wakeup call. I fell on my knees since my knees were too weak to hold me up. It was not some weird ass dream. It was my painful reality. I stayed on my knees crying until there were no more tears. I still can't believe my mate was gone. My Chaos. After no more tears trailed down my face, I got back on my feet and robotically got dressed. I felt numb. I hurried with making myself look presentable because
Tricia's P.O.V I can't believe my Jay threw me out. He acted as if my presence alone upset him. I understand his mate's death was taking a toll on him but I only wanted to offer my condolences in the only way I knew best. The bitch was dead and she still had a hold on my Jay. But she left her side bitch Kiara and I feel as if she knows something I don't. Maybe I should have had her killed along with her so called alpha. I had only taken two steps towards the door of my little house when I bumped into Felecia who looked like she has been crying for days unend. "What is wrong mum?" I questioned "Everything is wrong my dear. Everything" she answered hoarsely "What do you mean by everything? The Luna of this pack died. It is horrible I get it but that doesn't mean this pack has to die with her. I mean the Luna of this pack can always be replaced" "Don't talk like that Tricia Bennett! This is blasphemous. What has gotten into you child?" "What!! I was just stating facts."
The day of the quarter moon Alpha River’s P.O.V The day I have been waiting for was finally here. It has not been easy these past three weeks. Searching for leads and finding none. Finding some only for it to lead to a dead end. In as much as I had wanted to give up I couldn’t. I had made a promise and I was hell bent on keeping it. Over the past weeks, Kaeden has been quiet. Quiet in the sense that his low whimpers and growls have even stopped. It must have been my wild sense of imagination but I could swear that I felt something moving around the house. Strangely enough, that presence sent tingles and goose bumps all over my body whenever I felt it around. I wish I could talk to someone around it but I buried that thought. They were all walking on egg shells around me since they found out that my wolf and I were probably going rouge. I didn’t need then thinking I was delusional and need to be detained in a Psych ward. The ever-growing pack work kept me occupied
