FATED MATES IN THE SHADOWS A Father's Secrets
CHAPTER NINETEEN ''You knew how much it hurt me to be wolfless, and yet you kept this secret from me? I'm the future Alpha, for crying out loud!'' My father looked at me with a defeated expression, he could sense my anger. I demanded, ''And who is this Ryker man?'' My father sighed loudly, raking his hand through his hair in frustration. I repeated my question, sounding as firm as possible. ''Who is Ryker?''My father stood up and walked to the window, turning his back to me. ''Have the night off, Orion. Meet me at the pack headquarters tomorrow.'' He dismissed the topic, as he stepped away from the table towards the door. As he turned to leave, he paused with his hand on the door knob. ''Selene, Orion... that girl is a key. She must be protected.''My eyes widened in surprise, but before I could ask him how he knew my maid's name or what he meant by 'key', the door slammed shut behind him. I was left sitting in the chair, with more questions than answers. I sat there for a l

CHAPTER TWENTYI gritted my teeth, determined not to show weakness in front of Ryker. 'I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't care,' I spat, trying to sound braver than I felt. Ryker's laughter grew louder, more maniacal, and I felt my heart race with fear. 'Oh? You really don't care?' he sneered. 'You die...' he whispered, his laughter cutting off abruptly. I felt a jolt of terror, and I screamed 'No!' but it was too late. I was already jolting awake, as my heart beat raced, and my bedsheets were already drenched in sweat. I lay there, panting, as the morning sun struggled to peek through the curtains. I let out a sigh of relief, realizing it was just a dream. But the memory of Ryker's maniacal laughter lingered, haunting me. Making me worry more for my safety and that of my people as Selene was important too. Oh, speaking of Selene! I hadn't seen her since I left her yesterday night, locked up in the room. I sighed softly as I pulled myself on the bed to sit a

CHAPTER TWENTY ONESELENEI was taken aback by Mr Orion's question. 'Did the man in your dream look like... Ryker?' he asked, his eyes searching mine. I was lost, unsure of what to say. Who was Ryker? And how did he know about my dream? I shook my head, trying to clear the confusion. 'I don't know who Ryker is,' I admitted. Mr Orion's expression turned serious, as his eyes narrowed. 'He's a dangerous man, Selene. Remember I told you I had a dream? He was there, And if he's in your dreams, it means he's connected to you somehow.' I felt a shiver run through me, as Mr Orion's words sent a chill through me. Connected to me? What did that mean? And why did it feel like my dream was trying to tell me something? I looked at Mr Orion, searching for answers. 'What does it mean?' I asked, as fear gripped me. Mr Orion's face was grim. 'I don't know yet, but I promise to find out.' I sighed, looking at Mr Orion with a mix of frustration and desperation. He turned to me, his eyes fill

CHAPTER TWENTY TWOI was excited to get to know her better, too. As I had to change into my own clothes.I rummaged through my clothes, searching for something that felt like me. My fingers stumbled upon a white gown, a gift from my aunt on my seventeenth birthday. I smiled, remembering the happy memories, and decided to wear it. I slipped on the dress, feeling the soft fabric hug my body. I headed to the vanity, applying a subtle touch of lip gloss - I never was a fan of heavy makeup. I tied my hair into a high bun, and with a satisfied glance in the mirror, I stepped out of the room into the grand mansion. As I descended the stairs to the first floor, I ran into Beta Jay, who bowed briefly in my direction. I was taken aback by the sudden gesture, feeling a mix of surprise and gratitude. 'Hello, Beta Jay,' I said, trying to sound calm. He smiled and nodded, 'Lady Selene, it's a pleasure to see you looking so well.' I smiled back, to cover the awkward title that was included in

CHAPTER TWENTY THREEJust as Elara and I finished talking, my phone rang, and I smiled, recognizing the FaceTime call from my friends. I answered, and Chris's face appeared on screen, with Ariel joining in a moment later. At first, all I saw was Ariel's room, and I could hear scattering sounds as she rushed to sit in front of the camera. When she finally appeared on screen, she looked less than pleased with me, and I pouted at her in response. Chris chuckled and reminded us that he was still on the call, and we shouldn't make it a 'ladies' catch-up time'. I rolled my eyes good-naturedly and settled in for a nice chat with my friends.Chris started the conversation by asking me why we hadn't heard from me in a month, and I sighed as I had a lot to say i thought, looking at both of them. 'I'm sorry,' I said. But Ariel cut me short. 'That's all you ever say, Selene. Sorry. You stood us up on the day we planned to meet, and now you're apologizing again?' My countenance fell, and Ch

TWENTY FOURHe held my hand steady. 'Selene, don't,' he whispered, his voice soft but commanding. 'She's not worth it.' I dropped my hand, as I felt a surge of gratitude towards him, my anger slowly dissipating as I realized he was right. Annabelle wasn't worth my dignity, my worth, or my anger.As I looked at Mr Orion, I immediately felt a wave of regret wash over me. 'I'm sorry,' I whispered, bowing my head in shame. Mr Orion's expression softened, and he stepped closer to me, his hand tilting my head up to meet his gaze. 'It's okay, Selene,' he assured me, with a gentle voice. 'Just go back to your room, and I'll come up soon. I have a situation to attend to.' He winked at me, and I felt a small smile creep onto my face. But as I turned to leave, I caught Annabelle's death glare, as her eyes burned with anger and resentment. I ignored her, as my heart still raced from the confrontation, as i made my way back up the stairs. My good mood had been ruined, but at least I had Eth

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVEI sniffled and wiped away the tears from my face, feeling a mix of emotions: sadness, fear, and relief. I had just poured my heart out to my aunt, and it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. But as I looked up, I saw that my door had creaked open, and I turned to see who had entered. My heart skipped a beat as I saw Mr Orion standing in the doorway, a look of concern etched on his face. 'Hey, are you okay?' he asked softly, his eyes scanning my tear-stained face. I nodded, still sniffling, and he walked closer to me. 'I couldn't help but overhear your conversation,' he said gently. ' How long have you been at the door? eavesdropping on my conversation?' I snapped back at him, he shouldn't come act like he cares. I thought as I looked away From him.'Do you want to talk about it?' he responded ignoring my behavior, I shook my head, feeling a lump form in my throat again. But Mr Orion just sat down beside me and put a comforting arm around my sh

I hadn't felt like this before.His tongue soon found a way to my clit as I could feel him play his tongue on me and I couldn't help but arch myself into his tongue as I moved my hip rythmically to his tongue.I soon felt like I wanted to pee or something, then his lips came for mine again as he broke the kiss he looked into my eyes as he told me to express myself and let my body do the job.He chuckled as he told me to let the liquid come, which I shyly nodded at him.Then he went back to what he was doing initially as his tongue did it's miracles, I felt the liquid so full inside of me.Then it bursted out, and I felt like a river flowed out of me as he used his tongue to take out the whole liquid. _______As we finally collapsed i

FATED MATES IN THE SHADOWS Beyond The Cave
CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN _ARIEL_As we fought, the cave rocks began to crack and tremble, and the ground shook beneath our feet. The girl's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and she seemed to be channeling the ancient power of the cave. I stumbled back, my footing unsure, as the rocks creaked and groaned around us. In a desperate bid to claim the amulet, I ducked away from the girl and made a grab for the pedestal. But she was too quick. With a swift motion, she snatched the Moonstone Amulet from its resting place and held it aloft, its glow illuminating her triumphant face."No!" I cried, my heart racing with disappointment. "That's mine!"The girl merely laughed, a wild, untamed sound, and held the amulet out of my reach. "Catch me if you can!" she taunted, her eyes sparkling with mischief. With a wicked grin, she turned and ran, the amulet clutched in her hand.I scrambled to my feet, determined to pursue her, but the cave was collapsing around me. Rocks crashed down, blocking my pa

CHAPTER SIXTY SIX_ARIEL_ "But what if I could help them in other ways? I'm a skilled researcher, and I know how to gather information. Maybe I could dig up something on Ryker and his followers, find out what they're planning and where they are."I stopped pacing and sat down at my desk, pulling out my laptop and starting to type. I searched for any mentions of Ryker or his followers online, but there was nothing. I tried searching for other keywords, like "werewolf packs" and "supernatural threats," but still came up empty-handed.Just as I was about to give up, I remembered a book I had read a few months ago. It was about the supernatural creatures of the world, and it had a section on werewolves. I grabbed the book off my shelf and started flipping through the pages, looking for anything that might be useful.As I read, I came across a passage about a powerful werewolf artifact. It was said to be able to protect a pack from harm, and it might just be what Selene and our pack neede
FATED MATES IN THE SHADOWS Ariel's Anxiety
CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE_ARIEL_I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease as I left the Orion's mansion. My mind was racing with thoughts of Selene's newfound identity and the secrets that had been kept from her. I tried calling her multiple times, but her number just rang and rang."Selene, pick up! I need to talk to you!" I said, frustration creeping into my voice.But it went straight to voicemail. Again.Days passed, and I grew more concerned. I tried reaching out to her on social media, but she seemed to have disappeared. A knot formed in my stomach as I wondered if everything was okay."Chris, have you talked to Selene lately?" I asked, trying to sound casual when I called him."Yeah, I've tried calling her too, but I haven't been able to reach her," Chris replied, sounding equally concerned."Aren't you worried? I mean, with her newfound identity and all..." I pressed on."I'm sure she's just processing everything. But hey, speaking of Selene, her birthday is coming up soon. We sho
FATED MATES IN THE SHADOWS A Revelation Of Truths
CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR_ARIEL_As Selene's best friend, and like a sister to her. It was the most shocking part of her life I got to know. I know how much Selene hates the idea of werewolves and all that. Not to talk of being a werewolf from an Alpha bloodline?I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Selene, my best friend, my sister in every way, was telling me that she was with a birthmark owned by werewolves? It sounded like a joke, but the seriousness in her voice told me otherwise."Guys, I'm telling you, I have this birthmark on my body and it means I'm from an Alpha werewolf bloodline," Selene said over the phone.I was taken aback. I had always known Selene to be a skeptic when it came to supernatural things, and now she was telling me that she was one of us?"Selene, that's impossible," I said, trying to reason with her. "You know as well as I do that you've always been a normal person all your life, how come you suddenly have that birthmark?"But Selene was insistent. She told us

CHAPTER SIXTY THREE_SELENE_I was leaving when I heard her talking again."I'm afraid that's not possible, Selene," the moon goddess said, her voice firm but gentle. "You are a guardian of the packs, and you cannot simply reject your destiny. You have a responsibility to protect them, to lead them.""I don't want it," I said, shaking my head. "I don't want to be a guardian. I don't want to be responsible for anyone else's lives. I just want to be free."The moon goddess sighed, her expression softening. "Selene, you are not like other humans. You have a special gift, a special purpose. You cannot simply walk away from that.""I can try," I said, my voice defiant. "I can try to leave it all behind and start a new life, a life without the constant fear and responsibility."The moon goddess shook her head. "You cannot escape your destiny, Selene. It will follow you wherever you go. And besides, you are not just a guardian. You are a leader. You have a role to play in the greater scheme

CHAPTER SIXTY ONE_ORION IN HIS STATE OF COMMA_"Wait!" she cried, her voice ringing out across the landscape. "Don't you ever wonder if Ryker is truly your master, or if he's just using you to achieve what he wants?"The werewolves were taken aback by her sudden boldness, but they quickly recovered and snarled at her. However, Selene stood her ground, her eyes locked on theirs."Do you know that Ryker plans to destroy you all once he achieves his goals?" she asked, her voice dripping with conviction. "He's using you, manipulating you, and you're just blindly following him!"The werewolves looked at each other uncertainly, clearly taken aback by Selene's words. Ryker appeared, his face twisted in rage."Enough of this nonsense!" he screamed, his voice echoing off the walls. "You're just trying to confuse them, Selene! But it won't work!"But Orion had already taken advantage of the distraction to scan their surroundings, and he spotted a flowing stream of water coming from the top of
