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.

    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

    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 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

    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

    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. Sleek black hair well styled to match the stoic expression on his face. His sterling gray eyes with golden orbs were devoid of the slightest bit of emotion, cold and distant. Gosh! My ey

    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

    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
