RIONA'S POV 

Tree branches slapped and scratched me, searing my skin as I ran through the thick woods. 

I was never so sure Luna Stacy wanted me dead. Or worse. To have me ruined by the slaves.

I dared not look back. The wild laughter and howlings of my hunters were getting closer. It took everything I had to force my legs to keep moving, but my vision grew blurry. Each breath tasted of blood.

“Riona, you can't hide from us!” one of the men dragged his voice, taunting me.”

“Where are you, little puppy?”

“Let me show them the puppy they are looking for!” My wolf roared in me, fighting and scratching to come to the surface.. 

“No! Stay low! Elara!” I jumped over a frosted rock and slipped while struggling other push her down. The last thing I needed now is for them to know I wasn’t wolfless. 

The fact that I was never wolfless. 

Having this wolf was worse than being wolfless. She was a killer, a beast out of control, the beginning of all my misfortune. Elara must have heard my blame, for she whimped and finally shut up.

The woods seemed denser and darker as I ran. This is a good thing, which means it would be more difficult for them to find me. I would find a trunk or some place to spend the night, and hopefully, survive the night. 

I will be alright. I tried to comfort myself. See? The footsteps were no longer behind. The wood grew quiet. I slowed my pace and listened warily. Too quiet. No more food steps or taunting laughs, even the wrestling of the leaves turned into whispers.

I could feel my heart pumping in my chest.

Snap. A branch gave way somewhere like a gunshot in the silence.

“Run!” Elara roared, and I jumped to run as fast as I could. 

A large paw slammed on my back, I was smashed to roll in the cold, damp mud.

I hit the ground hard, “Argh!” The air in my lungs vanishing in a single, brutal gasp.

The sound of bones crackling behind me, and a rough hand grabbed my ankle.

“No! No! Let me go!” I kicked and screamed. Then a huge paw pressed on my back and squeezed the last draw of breath out of me.

I struggled to look up in tears and saw a filthy grey wolf. His breath, hot and humid, blasted against my face. I squirmed, trying to wiggle my way out.

He groaned, what like a mocking laugh, and then buried his sharp nails into my back, tore up my clothes like its made of paper, and cracked my skin as well.

The man who grabbed my ankle giggled, traced all the way up to the slit between my legs.

“No! Get off me! You can’t do this to me! You will be banished!” I screamed and kicked. The wolf on me shifted and slapped me across the face. 

“Shut up you bitch! Luna rewarded you to us.” 

My world spun with burning pain on my chin.

I curled in a fetal position, clinging to the remains of my clothes like the rags could shield me from the men.

“Strip yourself or we will fuck you with the sticks!” The men slapped and kicked, forcing me to spread up.

I cried and held myself tight. I could taste blood in my mouth mixed with tears. Darkness slowly crept in, and I knew I couldn’t hold on any longer.

“Mom,” I muttered hopelessly when Elara surged forward again, and I didn’t have the strength to hold her back this time.

“Enough!” A familiar feminine voice pierced my ears, snapping me out of the realms of shifting.

My pupils dilated and turned back to normal. “Mother!” I managed, in a shaky voice.

“Your mother was dead. I’m your Luna.” She said coldly, sizing me from head to toe, her lips straightened in a straight line. ” The corner of her eyes crinkled in a deep frown. Luna Stacy turned to stare at the man. “That’s enough for today.”

Elara growled, then buried herself deep. She can't face this woman, whose children she killed. I couldn't as well. But I forced myself to sit up, bared my neck to her, and looked at her boots. “Gross.” Her voice was soaked with disgust, seeing me no more than a curse.

This is how my pack sees me, how my father sees me. 

I was to be blamed for the miscarriage of her child, the heir of our pack.

“Alpha wants to see you in his office now. Clean up and go,” Luna Stacy stared down at me, “Don't try to play pity in front of him you slut.” 

“I won't,” I murmured. 

I struggled up and tried to cover my body with the rags on me. She dragged me up by the hair, and my body was exposed to the men around. 

I tried to cover myself while answering her, but she was not happy with it. She grabbed the hem of my clothes impatiently and ripped them off. Malice dripped off her tongue when she took my hair and pushed me to our pack house as if I were livestock, “Why bother? Scamper on, the Alpha hasn't got all day to wait for you.” Luna Stacy seethed through clenched teeth. 

She escorted me out of the woods, along with the naked slaves. They darted back to their clothes on the brink of the woods while I had nothing.

I was lower than a slave.

Being displayed like a whore in front of the whole pack.

That was when I saw it.

A menacing convoy of black SUVs I had never seen before was packed in front of the pack house. I froze. I wasn't just being paraded in front of my pack.

I was being displayed, like a whore. For the guests. For the outsiders.

Luna Stacy had me ruined.

    RIONA'S POV ‘Riona…’ Elara made to speak, but I cut her off before she even finished. “Learn your place, and don't try to attract the Alpha's attention to you,” I responded to her, blocked her out, then knocked on the door.“Come in.” A deep baritone voice responded behind the thick oak door. I drew in a long breath, then walked into the office.Father's face lit up briefly, and my heart fluttered with warmth. The happiness in his face melted as fast as it had appeared. “Sit.” his voice was a command.I nodded and started toward the chair opposite his desk when a strong, masculine scent wafted through my nose, serenading the air around me. I froze in my tracks.I whipped my head sideways, and my lips fell apart when I took in the intimidating figure standing at the corner of the room.Chiselled jaw.

    THERON'S POV I trudged behind her as she walked in unsteady steps towards the car. Vuk, my wolf hissed. ‘You jerk! Can’t you stop being such a stuck-up Alpha for a minute and go help your mate?’I let out a low growl from the corner of my lips. ‘She is not my mate, she doesn’t even have a wolf.’‘This is my mate— our mate Theron. We spent a good part of our lives searching for her.’ ‘I never looked out for her,’ I denied. Vuk clawed at my insides. A low groan roared in my chest as I approached her.Well, I was this close. This close to taking my word back. Vuk let his damn guards down, the instant we set eyes on this fragile, delicate thing.Albeit, she was the daughter of my pack's enemy. She could be a spy or something. Vuk snapped. ‘She doesn't seem that way to me,’ he purred, completely drowned in the sea of emotions. I hated—No. I loathed emotions. My jaw clenched. There was no such thing as a mate bond in my opinion. It was a useless spurge of energy, people imagined they fe

    RIONA'S POV A small groan erupted from the corner of my lips. My head was heavy with a terrible headache that banged at the base of my skull. Another groan erupted from my lips when I made to crack my eyes open.Ouch! That hurts. Slowly, I clenched my fist around the edge of the bed I was lying on and pried my eyes open. For Pete's sake! The room was just about the size of my room in the attic, except for the smell of eucalyptus that serenaded the entire room.I managed to sit up on the bed, as I took in the entire features of the room. The walls were painted white, but the strain of aging had faded the paint, to a dull white feature. Brown tiles chipped at the corners spread across the length of the room. This wasn't my attic, matter of fact, this place felt strange. I looked around, my head spinning with a thousand thoughts.The headache blossomed into a full-blown migraine, as the pieces of the puzzle struggled to come together in my head.Just then, I zoned out, to mindlink with

    THERON'S POV. Vuk stirred cursing at me for the umpteenth time that morning. A surge of adrenaline, pumped through my blood vessels. My eyes remained fixed on the nape of her neck, boring deep holes into the delicate skin.Riona had just given off the indication that she was my mate. I cleared my throat, to suppress the strange emotion that fluttered in my chest. “The wounds should heal in two days max.” A streak of disgust flared in my chest at my casual tone.She slowly nodded, avoiding my gaze. Vuk scratched and gritted his fangs inside of me. After a beat of hesitation, I caved in and covered the small distance between us.I crouched down a little, so our heads were at the same level. I scoffed, mad at the tension that tightened my chest. My brows came together in a deep frown. “The next time you try to escape, I will put you in my private cell.” My tone was curt.Riona flinched. Batting her eyes. She nodded frantically silent most of the time. I snorted. Damnit! Damnit! Why does

    RIONA'S POV This was my price to pay for the freedom I sought. With each step I took farther away from the Silverfang pack, the snow grew heavier hitting against my skin. I'd not prepared enough for this journey of escape with the little resource available to me. My feet were frozen from the piles of snow I'd had to drag them through. I didn't need to see them, to know my feet were covered with frostbite. I hugged myself, shielding half my body, which was bare from the cold as much as I could. A cold shiver skittered through my spine, causing my teeth to ground against each other. However, my wolf, Elara nudged Ms on. ‘Just a little while, and we'll be there. Keep going.’ She whined.At first, Elara had been drawn to the charisma that dripped from her fated mate. But when she picked up on whom he truly was, she frowned at his attitude. ‘I could take over, if that would make it easier.’ She offered, clawing and scratching to come to the surface. My hands dug into my skin, forming h

    RIONA'S POV Time stopped. And I could've sworn with everything I have, I saw lightning bolts splintered out of Alpha Theron's head. He grinded his teeth, infusing a deep sense of fear to my very core. Still, I managed to keep a straight face, despite the fear that spiralled through me. I couldn't let myself drown in the claws of fear. Especially not in the presence of this man, staring down on me with a cold gaze, and his subordinates, pacing the length of the open space. He tightened his grip around my hand, in a way that made the area with the most impact, flare with pain. I held back a groan that threatened to spill from the corner of my lips. “Please…let go. You're hurting me.” I pleaded. Much to my surprise, my voice came out shaky. One. Two. Three. Three beats passed, and he hesitantly let go. I collapsed to the ground. My veins trickled with equal parts apprehension, and equal parts relief. Alpha Theron, snarled. “Try that nonsense one more time, and I will scribble your n

    RIONA'S POV The Cadillac pulled in the garage, and Kanesha did the honours of holding the door, and dragging me out of the car, in the guise of ‘helping me out’ quote on quote. It was a great disservice to Elara, who was still seething with displeasure. Theron rounded the car, and covered the distance between Kanesha and me. His face, still red from the impact of my wolf's claws. I concealed a smirk that threatened to break out of the corner of my lips. “What do I do with her…Sir?” The reluctance in her voice was all the confirmation I needed to know she had a sensual attraction towards Theron. He sneered. “Better hold your horses Neesha. If a hair on her body gets hurt,” his face blanched at the amount of sensual tension that coated the word ‘body’. Something about the way he said it, made my skin tingle with strange excitement. Thankfully, it snapped the instant he spoke again. “You would spend the entire winter at the river.” She hesitated, then gave him a stiff bow. “Like I

    RIONA'S POV Fatigue settled in my bones, I was so close to having fits of exhaustion. I winced in pain, and curled my legs close to my chest. The injuries inflicted on my body still ached. “Try not to be a nuisance, and maybe, just maybe I would reconsider my rules,” Her words dripped with sarcasm. She clapped her hands, and the door cracked open with a deafening scraping sound, that made me cause under my breath. A hefty six foot male, dressed in a black jacket, and a matching mask with the image of a skull drawn on it, stomped in. He bowed with a grunt. “Rocky, we have a new guest here. No harm comes to her—” she stopped mid-sentence, then continued in the same breath. “Alpha Theron's rule.” Rocky's eyes widened, and returned to normal. He pulled down his mask, revealing a wrinkled goatee, lining his mouth. “Yes ma!” His shoulders went stiff, I could literally see through the way his muscles bunched at Alpha Theron's name. Kanesha looked down at her wristwatch. “When is the ne

    RIONA'S POV I watched Rylan and his grandmother speaking. Equal parts confused, and equal parts curious. Odessa whined inside of me. She perked her head to take in everything in front of her, but the heat from his mere presence confused her. “Camilla, there's never a good time for anything,” he muttered. Whatever the problem was, it was obvious it drained a part of him, he didn't want to talk about. A mixture of panic, and pain lined his facial features. His jaw clenched harder with each word he spoke. His gray eyes became tawny, coloured with wariness. Camilla reached for his hands, and squeezed it softly. “Son, we can't have you plunging into something that delicate,” frustration carved wrinkles on her face, “Remember you still need to win the heart of your subordinates, to become the official heir to Oakville throne.” His lips parted like he was about to counter her, when she added, beating him to it. “I don't think the pack members would want an injured Alpha.” He grunted, r

    Tree branches slapped and scratched me, searing my skin as I ran through the thick woods. Heavy stomps of feet raced closer to me, covering the distance between me and my predators, and reached my ears. My vision became blurry, and it took every bit of willpower in me to keep my heavy legs running through the woods filled with thorns. My lips fell slightly apart as I struggled to drag in oxygen into my lungs. “Riona, you can't run away from us…” one man growled behind me before he let out a sinister laugh.My wolf, Elara, twirled inside of me, fighting and scratching to come to the surface. Unlike me, she was raw, brutal, and wouldn't hesitate before her claws sliced out and dug out their eyes.Elara was nothing like me. She was always ready for a faceoff with anyone she perceived as an enemy. But letting her have her way would mean shoving her as bait to her enemies. They would easily outnumber her, and the last thing I wanted was a weakened wolf.With each step I took, my legs fel

    RIONA'S POV My day started badly. My feet tingled with a foreign stiffness I wasn't used to. I made to turn but my insides twisted with a torturing pain. I fell with my back against the bed. I let out a groan, when Alpha Theron's scent floated into my nose. Elara reared her head in sheer pleasure. His presence soothed a part of her, a part of us we didn't know needed to be calmed. What followed next was the stomping of his feet against the marble tiles as he approached my bed. His gaze net mine, and even with the signature permanent scowl etched on his face, his eyes glimmered with a soft smile.I made to push myself up, Alpha Theron covered the small distance between us, and wrapped his arms around me, serving as an edge. The warmth pressed harder into my bones. “Hey,” A faint bitter taste lingered in my mouth. I tipped my head sideways to take in his facial expression. The skin beneath his eyes was smudged from exhaustion. My eyes hovered around the room, and the pieces of puzz

    ALPHA THERON'S POV Streaks of anger resurfaced at the edge of my consciousness. I got her to the safety of the pack house. The instant I set her in bed, I checked her thoroughly. My heart slammed against my ribcage with a bruising force. Examining her wounds was like stabbing my muscles with a silver dagger. Asides the cuts, and the mild concussion there was nothing to panic about. Still, the surge of adrenaline slithering through my veins petered out any sense of reasoning. I…I thought I'd lost her. Mental images of holding Riona's limp body emerged at the edges of my consciousness. Her body felt limp, cold. Riona's temperature was beyond belief. I unbuttoned her shirt, and waited for the slightest response from her— I got nothing. The lingering fear of losing her pressed further into my consciousness. I made a mental note to deal with Kanesha much later. For now, all I wanted to do was see Riona back to her feet. That was what mattered to me. I placed a bag of ice packs agains

    THERON'S POV My curled fist hung midway in the air, as I fought with my guts whether to knock on her door or not. It's been a few days since I flipped on her. Somehow, Riona had thought the best option she could come up with was keeping to herself. The first couple of days I'd ignored her. Yep. I'd struggled through breakfast and having to train without feeling the gaze of a certain five foot six inches staring at me. Today was the height of it. Vuk had snugged me out of my sleep and dragged me straight to her door. ‘Vuk, we really don't have to do this,’ I tried to cajole him. He hissed. ‘Do what exactly?’ Vuk reiterated. My jaw clenched. ‘Going to meet her right in her room! It's absurd man, and you know it.’ ‘Hmm. Last I checked, a certain Alpha wouldn't keep his arms off his mate while in bed—’ Wait a quick minute. I cut him off before he had a chance to continue his rambling. ‘That was different and you know it. She was sick, sick! I couldn't let her suffer that alone.’ V

    RIONA'S POV My insides collapsed as Alpha Theron masculine scent swooshed out the last ounce of oxygen from my lungs. Everywhere spun around in a haze of polaroid, and I tightened my grip around him— technically, Alpha Theron's bulky physique prevented my arms from curling around him perfectly. This should've felt perfect. But a tiny feeling of nostalgia wrapped around me. Elara was all but calm. We remained in that position for what seemed to be like forever, when it actual sense, it lasted for ten minutes. Alpha Theron pulled away from the hug, and a strange feeling of disappointment engulfed me. “What was it you wanted to talk about?” He quipped. His voice, sleek and husky. I swallowed the lump that gathered my throat. A slight headache was starting to blossom at the base of my skull. “I-I-I–” I stopped when Elara stirred. She didn't seem like she was satisfied by the abrupt end of the contact between I and Theron Moretti. He—We were yet to consummate the bond between us. Conc

  • Fated To The Ruthless Alpha    OURS TILL ETERNITY

    ALPHA THERON'S POV I spent the next couple of days shuffling between pack duties, and keeping things in place. Vuk was even more disgruntled by my refusal to consummate the bond with our mate. “Fire!” One of the warriors screamed out the order to the rest of the warriors. The sun had just appeared from the dark clouds indicating the start of a new day— which meant training. There was no trusting anyone else. Especially when it had to do with my pack subordinates. Heck! Even the warriors at the pack might flaunt my rules in my absence. So, the only right thing to do was doubling the security around the pack house. It was the powerhouse of the Silverfang. My jaw clenched in disgust when one of the warriors hit Gamma Vincent to the ground. Vuk hissed in response. Embarrassing. My nerves tightened with animosity. “What the hell are you doing huh?” I sneered. “Do I smell incompetence with my Gamma?” I demanded in a husky voice. Gamma Vincent struggled up to his feet. I narrowed my e

    THERON'S POV This second, I get lost in the swing of emotions. In a swing of an eye, I snap out and irritation prickles through my veins. Ugh! I hated dealing with weird intense emotions. They killed me, ripped me apart. It was already enough that Vuk struggled to dig his fangs into her skin and mark her his, each time we set eyes on her. I took the left staircase, and headed to my chambers. I had a brief meeting with the pack elders. I hated meetings. And it got worse since they started questioning my capability as an Alpha. Who the hell do they think they are! Riona's Alpha instincts were way stronger than I could imagine. There was more to her than she knew. She was the broad canvas with her pieces scattered all over the place. One piece held a different story from another piece. I was going to— “Theron!” A sultry feminine voice cut through my train of thoughts, and a low growl erupted from the corner of my lips. I stopped abruptly in my tracks, and turned to the direction o

    RIONA'S POV I relished in the ecstasy of the moment, as I took in the sight before me. I'd seen the sunrise— from a good distance of course. Capturing it this close. My arms brushed against his sharp shoulder blade. I tightened my grip around the rails, taking in the crisp fresh air. “It’s really beautiful,” the words fell out of my mouth before I could think it through. Still, the pangs of regret I thought would linger weren't there, not even slightly. Silence rented the air around us. Still, I could practically taste the serenity that dug in the crevices of the silence. “Exceedingly perfect,” he said in that familiar husky tone that left a trail of tingles in its wake. Elara reared her head sideways, her body rippling with an intense urge to rub her fur against his. It was one thing to know my mate. Yet another to consummate the bond between us. Another round of silence pressed in around us. I had so much to say. Since I thought they were baseless, I clamped my mouth shut and w
