Fated and Forsaken: A Mate's Redemption CHAPTER EIGHT
Eirlys walked hurriedly, her steps one with determination to get to her destination. She had halted and stopped a maid she had guessed by her dress. She had asked for Ryker's chamber and had gotten her answer and now she was on her way to his room.She discontinued when she got to his doorstep. She knocked once and the moment she heard a response, she jerked the door open and stepped inside. She stood in the center of the room, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her nails digging into her skin as if the pressure amkns could hold her together. The air around her felt heavier, weighted with everything she had left unsaid. But not tonight.“You should have told me,” she said, her voice low but sharp, cutting through the tense silence as Ryker only pressed on with his gaze on her.Ryker leaned against the doorframe, his broad shoulders casting a shadow across the room. He didn't answer her immediately. All he did was to stare. His expression was unreadable. There was nothing on his

The air in the pack hall hung heavy, laced with the scent of power and judgement. Wolves filled the space, their conversations a low hum, but the moment Eirlys stepped inside, yeah noise faltered. She could feel their eyes—sharp and pressing on her like a laser beam from a sniper—as if her very presence disturbed the natural order.Still, she lifted her chin and kept her shoulders back. Weakness was the last thing she would show them.Ryker stood at the head of the room, his face blank like an empty sheet of paper, his arms crossed over his broad chest. His gaze swept over the crowd but it never lingered on her.He hadn't spoken to her since their last tense exchange, and the distance gnawed at something he felt toward her.Eirlys swallowed against the ache rising in her throat. She should have left. She didn't belong here, not with them. Not after everything.“I don't know why she's still here,” Celeste's voice rang out, smooth and cold as polished steel. The room bushes further. “A

The moon hung high over the Nightfang Pack’s territory, its silver light spilling over the dense forest. A crisp wind carried the scent of pine and earth but beneath it lurked something else—an intruder.Ryker stood at the edges of the patrol line, his senses were sharper despite the late hour. Sleep had eluded him for days now since Eirlys return. His mind had been tangled in thoughts he refused to entertain. No matter how much he buried them beneath duty, Eirlys still lingered there, stubborn and unyielding. Her defiance. Her pain. Her resilience. And the way she stood tall despite the weight pressing her down. He hated how much he noticed. He hated how much he cared.A sound snapped him back to the present—a low growl. It was faint but distinct. His body tensed and his instincts flared to life as he scanned the shadows. Something was wrong.Then he saw it.A blur in the darkness. It was swift, moving with a predator's grace. Ryker didn't wait. He lunged forward, his muscles coilin

It was still night and the air was whistling softly. Ryker sat in the chamber where he had always had meetings with the pack members and the elders. His fingers drummed against the wooden chair. The fight with the masked intruder still haunted him, and his wound throbbed dully beneath the bandages. He has fought countless battles, but there was something familiar about the way his opponent moved—and the thought unsettled him more than he cared to admit.A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. Without waiting for a response, Eirlys stepped inside. Her presence has become an unspoken storm in his life—one he both presented and drawn toward.Ryker leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Did you come here for something?” His voice was level.Eirlys crossed her arms. “You asked to see me.”He exhaled slowly. “Yes, I asked to see you. I need to ask you something.” he sighed. “Back at the Dreadhowl pack… did you ever come across anyone unusual? Someone who stood out?”

Dim was the moon but anyone could see through the darkness as torches were lit, their rays shining across the field. Indistinct chatter filled the air across the open space as the prisoners uttered words in low tones while some laughed out loud.They didn't laugh because of something funny but rather, because they had lost hope as their laugh was followed by a loud cry after beating up themselves.The Dreadhowl pack wasn't a place anyone would dream to be. Once you're enslaved, there's no escaping and every single one knew that was the end of the road for them.The only time they have a sense of freedom was when they were freed from their cells to roam around in the free space. None could fight back as their wolves had been suppressed by a collar locked around their necks. “Hey! Hey!” One of the prisoners crawled on his knees, referring to another. “You're always sitting alone… Don't you have any friends… you can make one with me, don't you think?”Eirlys shook her head but kept mute

The whole pack was silent such that anyone could hear the sound of a fallen pin. Just a few guards on watch were awake. The rest, asleep. Eirlys saw an opportunity and the best time to execute her plans. She tiptoed on the cemented floor of the big hall after which she escaped from her cell. Everyone was snoring and fast asleep from the day’s work, so no one could have noticed her. She made way for the field, the only place all the prisoners felt a little sense of freedom. She peeped through the iron door and noticed the guard, though was fast asleep, sitting at the other end, his head bent and resting against the wall. She took a deep breath, hoping not to draw attention to herself. “You can do it, Eirlys. Yes you can.” She whispered, nodding her head and breathing out with her mouth. She unlocked the door and opened it slowly. She rushed towards the other gate at the end of the fence without looking back. It was way out. She got there faster than she could imagine. She grabbed it

Everyone became focused on whose face was going to show up. The guards, dozens of them, stood on a stance, their backs turned at Eirlys and their eyes darting around, scouting the trees.Eirlys spinned right in their middle, also curious as to what was happening. She had already been captured but then who could dare to intervene. Would it turn out to favor her or would it be her doom? She pondered “Who are you? Show yourself..” The guard who the tyrant had ordered to bring back Eirlys howled.The air itself grew with tension as the silence was heavy, so heavy that it pressed against their chests. Just then, the leaves wavered and the branches of trees shook like something had disturbed their sleep. The guards fidgeted, including Eirlys, unaware of who, or maybe— what would come out of the shadows.“You're on my territory… you've passed the line… don't you see.” A voice came out of the shadows… it was deep, very deep and cranking. More like a wolf.The leader of the guards stepped fo

Why now? How come I have to meet him this way? There's no point in saying all of this, right? It does not matter now. “Eirlys.”She was jiggled out of her deep thoughts. She opened her mouth to speak but the words wouldn't come out, like they seemed heavy to be uttered.“I know you were not expecting anyone, not close to me, to come to your rescue but at least, I deserve a thank you for helping you out in such a tight situation.” he tilted his head to one side, a smile curling at one end of his lips.Eirlys nodded, humming, her sound like a singing bird. She chuckled and folded her lips. “Yeah, you're right, I don't need you to save me.” she limped forward, steadying herself with the tree at her side. “I was going to find my way out before you interfered.” “Oh, are you sure about that? You could not even walk well… or are my eyes deceiving me?” He advanced his steps, almost closing the distance between them.Eirlys drifted into silence. There was nothing she could say to defend hers

Eirlys sat alone in the small, dimly lit room Ryker had given her. The silence stretched thick around her. It was skin broken by the faint sounds of wolves training outside. The scent of unfamiliar wolves clung to the air, a stark reminder that she didn't belong here.She ran a hand through her tangled hair, letting the strands fall forward to hide the mole on her cheek—a habit she would never quite grow out of.Her heart ached, heavy with memories she couldn't silent… At first it was Ryker she thought about since it was all his fault bringing her back to the pack. The name itself sent a bitter taste flooding her mouth. He has rejected her without a second thing, tossing her aside as if she meant nothing. And still, no matter how much she wanted to forget, part of her held onto the pieces he had broken. A cruel, twisted part that longed for something she knew would never be hers.“Stupid,” she muttered, clenching her jaw against the burn rising in her throat. “You're stronger than th

What is going on? What's this feeling? She straightened up and coughed repeatedly, unable to meet his gaze.“Are you not going to tell me sorry for bumping into me?” He shrugged, his hands wide open.“You could have watched where you're going or maybe you stood there and knew I was going to bump into you. Am I wrong?” she adjusted her hair after which she shook her head so they fell behind her back.What is he looking at? Why is he staring at me like that? Won't he say something? She pondered.She waved her hand close to his eyes. “Are you now a statue or what are you doing?” Ryker raised his hand and dared to touch the mole on her face. Just as immediately, Eirlys shoved his hand while at the same time, her feet shuffled backward.“What do you think you're doing?” “Just admiring the symbol on your face.” “And what about it? You don't talk about my mole… it's none of your business.” She backed away for a moment, then without another word, she turned on her heel and strode off.Mayb

The half moon lit dimly. The light rays change their course like a bob going back and forth. It seemed as if it was following Ryker and Eirlys. Ryker shouldn't be out on his own. Yes, he could have brought his guards and probably his beta to come with him on his rescue mission. But he had to. He went hunting, as he had always done most nights. He felt alone despite everything he had. He had hoped one day he would find answers to his questions but he never really asked any questions. He had never really known what he was looking for.“We're almost there…” he said, smiling as he turned his head to notice her.Eirlys had just experienced what she had seen a long time ago. She had just seen for a second time how Ryker had navigated through the secret passage and alleys to get to his pack. She had watched Ryker closely, how he held her hand, like he wasn't going to let her go again.There was a moment when she thought to thank him but that was impossible, right? Not after everything she h
