*********CADEN**********
I was beyond exhausted. I had been running for hours in order to let my wolf out.Out in order to have a taste of the world.I headed towards the pack when I saw Keith and Amelia coming towards me.“Is everything alright?” I asked.“Well we caught three rouges” Keith said and I growled.“Well four if we include the baby” Amelia said and I groaned.What were rogues doing in our territory?.We haven’t had any issue like this for a long time.“Increase the number of people looking over the border” I said to Keith and he nodded.“When are you going to see them?” He asked.“I need to see Mom first before going into full beast mode” I said before heading towards the pack house.I walked inside the house to receive greetings from people to which I gladly replied. I made my way to Mom’s suite and open the door to see her painting as always.“Did you see her?” She asked and I immediately knew she was talking about my mate.“Just because I go out of the pack lands doesn’t mean am going to find her.” I said while trying to concentrate on her drawing.“You will find her sooner or later” She said while trying to give me hope that I have learn not to trust in.“At this point, I will take it I don’t have a mate or she is dead or perhaps doesn’t even exist” I said and she hit me on the arm.“The Moon Goddess always provide a mate for each and every being out there. You do not want to upset her. When exactly will you learn?” She scolded like she always do.“I really don’t have the strength to argue with you over this. I have work” I announced.“When you do find her, I will tell you I told you so” She said before I finally take my leave.I was on my way to the basement or call it a prison for rogues because it is too big to call a basement when I ran into Valerie.“Did Keith inform you about the rogues?” She asked and I nodded.“Something is wrong with one of them” She said and I frowned.“What do you mean by that?” I asked.“I felt this intense power to suddenly bow and respect her. It was so weird” She said and I frowned.The only reason why Val could have felt that is if she had had an encounter with my mate.Only the Pack’s Luna can make someone from a pack feel like that.You’ve got to be kidding me.I immediately begin my way towards where they were being kept.How on earth am I suppose to be mates with a rogue?Each step I take brings me closer to my reality.Andreas, my wolf kept urging to go faster. He has never been this agitated.I finally got there to see two kids with a baby. The girl was sleeping with her back turned towards me. I couldn’t get a whim of her scent. I opened the door to the cell and she immediately turn to look at me.“MATE!” We both said at the same time.“Get her out of that filthy place” Andreas yelled.Valerie immediately opened the door and unchain her while I stay deep rooted in my place.“Am sorry about the way we handled you guys” Valerie said to her but she only stared at her without giving any reply.“This is Caden, he is the Alpha of this pack” She introduced.“I already had a mate once. This doesn’t make sense” She said and I frowned.“You had a mate?” I asked again just to be sure that my hearing abilities was fine.“Yes, I have had a mate before” She confirmed.“And what happened to him? Is that too much to ask?” Valerie asked with caution.“He had to reject me. Now can I please leave?” She asked.“No you can’t” I said firmly.“Why!!! Just because our wolves thinks we are mates doesn’t mean we are” She said.“Technically yes you are” Val said and we both glare at her.“I have had enough with being tied to one place. I want to go” She said.“You can’t go yet not until am sure whatever this is is a mistake” I said before turning to give Val instructions.“Take care of her and tend to her wounds. And make sure she doesn’t go anywhere” I said.“And what is the difference between this place and the cell I was in?” She asked.“Here is fancier” I said before taking my leave. *********RILEY**********“Here is fancier” He said before taking his leave.I scoffed as he made his way out while the girl chuckled at me or rather at Caden.“Forgive my manners, Am Valerie” She said while going through her closet.“Am Riley. What about the kids?” I asked hating myself for forgetting about them for a moment.“My sister is taking care of them. You need not to worry” She said and I hummed.“I think this should fit you perfectly. We can go buy your stuffs when you are more settled” She said.“Did you forget the part where I told you guys am leaving here once this mistake of a thing clears up” I said and she smiled.“Well, you are definitely going toss need some clothes before then right?” She said before handing me a crop top and jeans.I headed towards the bathroom she directed me to and did my business there quickly.“Am sure you will be famished. Let me get you something to eat” She said but I stop her before she could leave.“I will rather leave this room and go with you” I said.“But Caden said……..”“Am not part of the pack so I can’t follow his orders” I said while cutting her off.“The faster you lead me out of here, the better” I said and she groaned.“I already hate this” She said making my lips twitch to a smile.*********RILEY*********Valerie and I made our way downstairs and I saw the guy and lady that were with Val when we were captured again.“Why on earth is she roaming round the pack house?” The guy asked.“And why in the world isn’t she in a cell?” The other lady asked.“Will you both calm down? Caden was the one who took her away from the cell. He will explain when he comes back” Valerie said.“That doesn’t mean she gets to roam around the pack house where kids are” The lady said.“And may I ask why?” I said and she glare at me.“Because rogues are vicious and crazy mutts who ought to be killed” She said and I frowned.“I haven’t done anything wrong” I said while Val leads me to the kitchen.“You might have not done anything here but you certainly did something hence the reason why you got banished from your pack” She said while following us into the kitchen.“Don’t mind their manners. That is Amelia and Keith. They are actually fun to be with but they detest rogues” Valerie said.“Du

********RILEY**********We all went downstairs and met Caden and his friends chatting in the living room.“Do you need anything?” Valerie asked while making her way over to where I was.“Do you think I can get baby food anywhere?” I asked while trying to make Ella stop her cries but it really isn’t working.“The only thing you can find is milk but Caden’s younger sister has a baby so you can get baby food from her” She said.“And where can I find her?” I asked.“She is not staying in the pack house” Keith said as he makes his way over to where we are standing and I groaned.“But I can take you to where you can shop for that” He said and Caden growl.What is his problem?.“Or perhaps Caden can take you there” He said with a nervous laugh.“Couldn’t you have offered like a normal human being?” I asked.“I will back in a second” He said before going upstairs.“I want to go with you” Josh said while holding on to my jeans.“How about you stay with Reuben and Val. I will be quick” I said a
********RILEY*******I was beyond scared for two reasons.One, I have never trained before.Two, Amelia hates me.“Think of your partner as your enemy on battle field, the goal is to make sure your partner ends up on the ground. You may rough them up a little but make sure to be careful.” Keith said.What sort of training is this?Rough your partner up.Yeah right.More like Amelia is going to kill me.“Begin” Before Keith could finish his statement, I felt a punch on my face.That hurtsssss.“Ohhh, am sorry, did that hurt?” She said in a mocking manner.“Yeah right” I said annoyed at the fact that she is launching her anger at me.“If you can’t fight then am sure you aren’t cut out to be Luna” She said before throwing the second punch which I narrowly evaded.More punches swam in and the more the punches, the more she was enjoying my pain.I couldn’t bear it anymore.“Fucking stop” I yelled drawing a little bit of attention to us“Ohh is the little missy scared that her face is
********CADEN********Getting to know Riley and the kids was kind of fun but as much as it was fun, the pack were asking about who she is and how she is related to me.I wasn’t scared of their reaction when they find out she is mate, I was scared of the series of competition that was going to follow.If someone who is a rogue, a vampire or human turns out to be an Alpha’s mate, it was mandatory for the pack members to come out if interested to fight the position of Luna because many believes such a person isn’t capable of leading a pack.“Can I come in?” Mom said as she pecks through door.“Yes, you can” I said and she smiled before walking in and take a seat in front of me.“You hate entering my office, is anything the matter?” I asked knowing how much she detest coming here ever since Dad died.“Well, I wanted to talk to you about something and it can’t wait”.“What is it?”“It is about Riley and the pack. People are asking questions, even though I have an idea why you are doing thi
********RILEY********* I woke up to a knock on the door, why does everyone likes to disturb my sleep?.It is annoying.I stood up and walk lazily to the door only to be greeted by Amelia.“Rise and shine, sleeping beauty” She said with a big smile on her face.“Why are you so happy early in the morning?” I asked.“Training starts today” She said and I groaned.“Why do I feel like am about to start the suffering of my entire life” I said and she chuckles.“Nah, am past over that” She said.“Go and dress up” She said and I head over to the bathroom to freshen up.We go over to the pack grounds for training since Amelia said no one is going to disturb us.“Rule number one, the person you are fighting with isn’t your friend but your enemy” She said and I nodded.“The most important is to be in align with your wolf, she will be able to quickly detect whenever punches is coming in. You should also make sure you study your partner’s movements and be able to quickly detect his or her weaknes
********RILEY*********I woke up early today and had training before going over to take care of Ella and Josh.“Riley, I need clothes” Josh said and I nodded.He was right.Caden had given us some clothes he borrowed from someone but we couldn’t keep using it plus, the clothes does not fit.“How about I ask Val for shopping and we can go?” I said and he nodded.“Hey, I was about looking for you” Val said once I get out of the room.“Is everything alright?” I asked.“I thought you guys might need some clothes and decided it was high time we go out for shopping” She said.“I was about to ask you the same thing” I said and she smiles.“Amelia is joining us so let me inform her” She said.“But I don’t know who will help me babysit Ella” I said.“I will ask Caden’s Mom if she can help, am sure she will love to” She said and I nodded.“I will dress up and meet you downstairs” I said before heading back in.I quickly freshen up and dress up before dressing Josh up and headed downstairs with
*******CADEN*********I decided to ask Riley out for a date today but I couldn’t believe how hard it could be. I had to enlist for Keith’s help but he wasn’t helping matters.“What are you two doing?” Val asked as she take a seat beside me.“Trying to get Caden to ask Riley out” He said and she smile.“Took you long enough” She said.“The problem is how do I go about it?” I said.“Just man up and ask her out, it shouldn’t be that difficult right?” She said and I groaned.“That’s exactly what I have been telling him”Keith said.“Yeah right, cause it is that easy”I said sarcastically.“Oh come on, you’ve date numerous amount of women, it shouldn’t be hard to ask her out”Val said before biting into an apple.“But those numerous people aren’t my mate”I said.“Just ask the lady out” Keith said.“And please tell me you have a good place in mind” Val asked.“I was thinking about this new restaurant in town and maybe we could go out for a movie or something” I said and she nods.“Now go and t
******RILEY*******The house is busy more than usual.Both Val and Amelia took me out for shopping for the welcoming ceremony and ever since then I basically became a loner.Not that I mind that, I get to spend time with the kids but Caden is barely around and is always stuck in his office.“Riley, I think Ella pooped" Reuben said while holding his nose with a disgusted face.“You should learn how to clean her up" I said while going over to her crib.“Thanks but no" he said.“Did you later see that guy?. The one you said smelled funny" I ask as he sits on the bed.“No, it is as if he disappeared. I have tried asking the other pack members but they said they've never seen that kind of person in the pack" he said and I frowned.“That seems weird" I said and he sigh.“Do you think I am being delusional?" He asks.“No you are not" I said while focusing my attention on him after I finish cleaning up Ella.“I just hope it won't cause any problem" he said and I hum.Maybe we were just thi
*******RILEY*******“Am sorry I didn't keep my promise about you not getting hurt?" Caden said after I had been treated at the infirmary.“I understand why. The Alpha shouldn't be the one to be breaking the rule" I said while sitting up.“Damn girl, you were like a maniac out there" Val said when she and the guys rush in to see how I was doing.“You look as if you were deprived of food for a month and was just served" Amelia said and I laugh.“The most important thing is that am happy that you're are okay and the injury is only minor" Caden's Mom said.“You should have seen Tracy, she look as if she got run over by a train" Val said.“Amy made sure to land a punch on her before she was taken away" Keith stated making me stare at Amy.“What!. I have been itching to do that since" she said and I laugh..“Before I forget, the kids are dying to know how you're doing" Caden's Mom said before going out to bring them.“Riley!!!" Josh screamed immediately attacking me with a hug.“I though
*******CADEN*******Immediately Ronald beckon on all of them to enter the arena, my heart starts to race.What if something bad happens?What if she gets killed?Snap out of it....I can't lose her when I have just gotten.Please Moon Goddess, keep her safe.“Dude, she is going to be fine" Keith said while patting my shoulder “And how exactly do you know that?" I ask.“Cause when I pass by her and Amy's training sessions, I saw how she beat the shit out of Any" he said with a smile.“She didn't beat me up" Amelia said and we all turn to look at her black eye she had since three days ago with a frown.“Okay maybe she did land a hit on me but damn that girl can throw a punch" she said making all of us to smile before I turn my attention back to my mate.“She is going to be fine. I trust in our mate" Liam said cheering me up.“Thanks buddy" I said.“This is a fight till death but it has been changed, if your opponent agrees to a truce then the fight will be off, the one who calls on a t
It is finally here.The day I get killed.“Just take deep breaths, I promise to be with you throughout” Emily, my wolf said.“Thanks Em, I really needed that” I said.“How are you feeling?”Val ask as she and Amy walk in.“Feel like am about to shit myself” I said and they both laugh.“Everything is going to be alright” She said while giving me a smile.I hope so.“We are here today to formally welcome the new pack members into our pack. There has been a lot of questions about who they are and how they are related to me. I would like to formally introduce to everyone my mate, Riley" Caden said once he entered the arena making a lot of murmurs to break out.“Am sorry to say this but a rogue being the Luna of this pack is a shame and disgrace to us the pack members not after what had happened before." An old man said making Emily fume in anger but there is nothing I can do about it.“He is right. Rogues are filthy beings who doesn't deserve anything other than death" A woman said.“Heave
*****RILEY*****Caden has been avoiding ever since he told me that he was jealous.I was quite confused about it.I mean I do get the fact that me and Noah being mates might have had an effect on Caden and I’s relationship but Noah has a mate now and am definitely no longer interested in him.“Can I have a word with you?”Tracy said and I nodded.“I just wanted to tell you that staying here isn’t going to do you any good. It is better to get the fuck away from my mate” She said after she had led me to a private place.“Am sorry but I have no idea who your mate?” I said while raising my brows.It was already enough that am dealing with how to talk to Caden, she doesn’t need to spoil my mood than the way it is already is.“I am talking about Caden. Get the fuck away from him. He doesn’t someone like you” She said while raising her voice.“Am sorry but I can’t do that. Caden is my mate and I have a right to be in his life. Now if you would excuse me, I have something better and tangible
********CADEN********Why do I feel weird?.They are no longer together, I shouldn’t be this mad about it.“Are you okay dude?” Keith said while joining me in my office.“Yeah, am okay”“I beg to differ, you look like someone said something to annoy you at breakfast, Riley seems worried” He said.“Am okay, nothing is wrong” I said.“Keep deceiving yourself” He said.“There is nothing wrong .” I said“Yeah, except for the fact that you look like you want to kill Noah and serve his head on a plate. Dude you were so easy to read, I wonder how Riley didn’t notice”“Notice what?”“Notice that you are fucking jealous”“I wasn’t”“Just admit it and let’s get it over with”“Am just angry over the fact that he knows her more than I do and he is her first mate and is even much closer to the kids”“You’re right but that is still jealousy”“Will you stop and help me here?”“You are bound to be jealous, he was her first everything but you need to remember that he belongs to another person and she
******RILEY******Caden hasn’t been around for nearly a week now. Keith and Noah are also not around and according to Amelia, they went for pack business.“Are you alright?” Val said while sitting beside me.“Just wondering when Caden and the guys will be back” I replied.“Am sure they are doing fine and will be back soon”She said while handing me an apple to eat.“Even at that, he ought to call so that I can know that he is doing fine”I said and she laughs.“What is funny?” I asked.“The funny thing is that almost four weeks ago, you were behaving as if you two don’t care for each other” She said with a smile.“Well now I do and am angry at his behavior. How can he not even call?” I said.“Probably doesn’t want to disturbed” She said.“Whose side are you on exactly?” I said with a frown.“Yours. I want you to tell me more about Noah, I feel like I don’t really know much about him” She said.“Well he has always been a close book. He never interact with people which sometimes can be a
******RILEY********Caden has been busy ever since Noah mentioned what his father is planning and as much as I hate to admit it, I was scared.Scared that I was going to be taken again.Scared that I was going to lose my mate again.“You look pale” Noah said as he sits beside me.“Just thinking about stuff” I replied.“Don’t let what I reveal get to you, am sure Caden and his friends are doing their best to ensure that you and the pups are safe” He said.“I know. How is things going between you and Val?” I asked.We haven’t had time to talk.“Well, I think she is angry about the fact that I rejected you cause she is giving me the cold shoulder” He said.“But that is not your fault. It was your dad’s” I said.“I know and I have been trying to explain to her but she isn’t giving me any chance to explain myself” He said in a frustrating manner.“Maybe it will help if I talk things through with her” I said and he nodded.“Where are the kids by the way? I have missed chatting with them”
********CADEN********It was a soft press to her lips but it causes everything to explode inside of me. Holding steady, we breathe together, our bodies trembling in equal measure.I press a little harder, the kiss still a sweet and gentle thing assuring her that I was going to protect her with my whole life.I treasure every minute of the kiss.“Why do you two look like you’ve just been caught having sex”Amelia said when everyone was sited in the living room.“Do you have to make them more red than they already are?” Keith said.“And will you both stop teasing them already?”Mom said and I mentally thank her.“I was thinking about joining the pack warriors again” Tracy said once everyone has quiet down.“Am absolutely sure we don’t need someone like you on our team” Amelia said.“And what do I have to do to assure you that I have changed” Tracy asked.“For one getting away from me and two, you don’t have the right to be near us” Amelia said.“I didn’t mean for what happened to happen,
