Chapter Twelve
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It's been a few days since I had left the manor, trying to get back to normal but everything feels wrong. With everything that has happened, I have gotten the strange feeling that I no longer belong here. I wanted to take a couple days to myself so I could figure out what I want and it hasn't been very successful.
"It's because you belong with your mate," Aala growled, irritated.
She's been very short with me the last few days since we left Declan, I assumed from the mate-bond. I could feel the bond course through my veins always, especially with his mark on my neck and it only made me ache to be with him again.
"Okay, Riley. What gives? You've been walking around like a zombie the last couple of days." Page says to me.
"Nothing, it's nothing." I say, tracing my fingers along the mark underneath my collar.
"Did Declan break up with you?" She asked, looking at me skeptical.
"No, nothing like that. I'm just going through a lot right now."

My eyes fluttered open slowly as I took in the sights of the bedroom. The sun was shining through, making the room seem as bright as ever. 2 sets of eyes are on me and my face instantly flushed."You have really got to stop trying to get yourself killed, Riley," Elsie says, cupping my cheeks. "W-what happened?" I say weakly, bringing my hand up to my bandaged neck. "You were attacked. Luckily I think your wolf kept you alive," Lauralie responds, holding my hand."Where's Declan?" I ask, realizing that he wasn't in the room. He entered the room as if he had heard me, followed by Jesse hot on his trail. A worried look was brushed across both of their faces and I can tell something isn't right."Riley, there's something that we have to tell you," Jesse speaks. I sit up in my bed, trying to ready myself for more bad news. "You can't go back home. Maxine and Emmit's actions last night proves that you aren't safe outside of thes

The week leading up to the ceremony seemed to fly by. The house was in a constant state of commotion trying to figure out the guest list, food, seating plan, guests of honor and everything in between. Since this was a very special event, Declan had arranged for Lauralie,Elsie and myself to go to the spa for the day leading up to the party. He said that he had extra protection placed throughout since my attack at the carnival, so it wouldn't be a problem."Don't worry, Dec! I'll keep her safe," Lauralie reassured him as we walked out the door. We pulled up to the spa, and 3 ladies came out dressed in white spa attire. Each lady grabbed one of us, and brought us into the spa leading us inside."Good morning, Luna Riley. My name is Anastasia, but you can call me Anna. I have been hired to doll you up this morning." She smiled sweetly taking my coat and handing me a robe and slippers. I slipped into them quickly, and then followed her down the hall into a r

When I wake up, the sun had already set and the light was streaming in my room though the thin curtains. Declan actually stayed and I could see him lying perfectly still next to me. I stared at his face for awhile, letting the realization of the night settle in all over again."How do you feel," he asked, sleep still on his lips."I feel like I can't even begin to process what happened. I have only ever felt your emotions, but last night I felt his, and it was overwhelming," I say as tears start to fill my eyes."You can feel my emotions?" He asks, shocked."Yes, I have always been able to since I met you," I mutter."I see. That might be one of the benefits of being a White Wolf. Although I could hear your thoughts before the mind-link, some still slipped through. I'm not sure about the feelings though," he says wryly.I don't respond as he takes my hand and raises it to his cheek."Let's stay here for awhile," he says, pulling me cl

10 Years Later“Ready to go, Riley?” my father said. He looked into my eyes, as the smile on his face grew three sizes. I nodded slightly, not trusting my voice. I squeezed my eyes shut tightly and sucked in a deep breathe. The doors opened slowly and let me breathe out and opened my eyes. I looked around, seeing all the guests that lined the seats in the familiar garden.“You look like an angel,” my dad whispered, leaning over to kiss my forehead. The calm feeling that he gave me rushed through my entire body as the soft music began to play. He gave me one of his award-winning smiles, and I could not help but smile back. When I turned away from him, there he was.Although being a werewolf, we really did not need to get married since we were mates, but he thought that it would be a nice gesture since I was raised human. Even though it took us awhile, we decided that waiting for our daughter t

I'm not exactly sure why I let my friends talk me into going to watch scary movies with them, but here I was. My friends would describe me as the biggest scaredy cat in the world, which is why scary movies always make me jumpy afterwards. My friends think it's hilarious to see me watch werewolf movies through my fingers, cowering away from the screen.Leaving the movie theatre, a cold wind rushes through my hair, chilling me to the bone. I tried to pull my jacket tighter to my body, as if that would heat my tiny frame but it was no use. The cold evening air surrounded me, planting light kisses across my bare skin."Tell me again why I let you drag me to these stupid movies? You know movies with creatures freak me out," I said, annoyed staring at my best friends who clearly love to torture me."Because Riley, the movies you pick always suck," Page laughs, popping another piece of popcorn into her mouth."Yeah Riley, stop being such a scaredy cat. It's just

Images started to flash in my mind, like a slideshow replaying the events of my night. I could hear a faint voice in the back of my head telling me to wake up, that I need to be awake to fully understand what was happening. Sapphire eyes, a bloody women, a creepy abandoned school, being hit over the head and falling in the arms of a menacing stranger. My eyes fluttered until realization set it. Frantically opening my eyes, I felt sick when I looked out the window and did not see anything I recognized. My head was throbbing as I tried to focus on any one thing passing through the window."Where am I? Why am I moving? Wait... Where are they taking me?" I thought as I looked in the front seat in horror.One of my kidnappers started talking, as I tried to focus on their faces. The driver had sleek blonde hair, with a softer voice but still sent a chill down my spine when he spoke. The passenger had curly hair, that looked as black as midnight. Since I was laying in the bac

As my eyes fluttered open, I could see the sunlight filtering through the nearby curtains.Turning my head, I noticed that there was an IV drip hooked up to my arm giving me some sort of clear liquid. I let out a small shriek as I noticed a pair of blue eyes staring at me. I tried to jump out of the bed, but she ran to me and pushed my shoulders back down into the fluffy pillows."If you don't stop moving, you're going to rip out the IV in your arm." Lauralie said with a laugh, still holding my shoulders down.A muscular man in a white coat came towards the bed, checking the IV in my arm making sure it was still intact."You're going to be all right, Ma'am." he gave with a chuckle, pointing his finger in my direction. "Just don't go around hitting your head anytime soon, please.""What day is it?" I choked out, trying to gather my thoughts."Oh, Riley. It is May 12th. You only slept through the night." He said reassuringly. "You're safe here."
Finding My Mate: Book One Chapter Four
Spending time with everyone the last few days has been both unexpected and suprising. I'm still afraid of werewolves, but since I haven't actually seen one yet, I can pretend that I'm just staying at some random persons house for awhile. Spending time with Alpha Declan, Jenson,Lauralie and the twins has made me realize that maybe we weren't so different."Up you go, sleep-head! I'm bored!" Lauralie chimed, trying to rolling me out of bed. "Why are you up so early? Aren't werewolves supposed to be nocuturnal or something? Howling at the full moon?" I grumble, pulling a pillow over my face."Riley, it's 8 am. It's not early, and Vampires are the nocturnal ones." She says as she pulls away the pillow. "Get up, I'll make you breakfast. I'm sure we can find something that I won't burn."I jump out of bed at the mention of Lauralie cooking. "No! It's fine! I can make my own breakfast, thanks." I say hasitily digging through my dressers. One thi

"Is...is he dead?"It was supposed to be a fun night bowling with friends, but instead it's turned into a nightmare."Jenson? Jenson, are you okay?" Declan says, as he reached his bestfriends side. Jensons chest was still, and blood was still pouring out from the wound on his neck. "Pl..please ...help....me.."Jenson stutters, as blood started to pool in his mouth, dribbling down onto his cheeks.My hands instantly go towards his neck to try and stop the bleeding, immediately getting covered in blood. I held back a gag, as I put pressure on the wounds. "Declan!? We have to stop the bleeding," I yell at him, not sure if he even hears me, "Declan!If we don't do something, he's gunna die!" "His pulse is faint, he's not going to heal from this," Declan says, shaking his head in frustration.I've never seen Declan lose control, so we aren't going to start now."Give im some of my blood." I say grimly, not to thrill

I was woken up by soft kisses being trailed down my nose. My eyes staggered open, as I could smell Declans minty breathe surround me. "Wake up, sleepyhead," he whispered, trailing his kisses down my neck."But why?" I groan."You have school today, missy. No more ditching," he says between kisses.I let out a small groan as I pushed him off me. I get ready for school, as he headed downstairs to make breakfast. He drops me off at school, and I immediately caught up with Page."Where's your bodyguard?" Page joked, gesturing around at thin air."My what?" I ask, eyes widening at her joke."Well, usually Declan follows you in but today he's nowhere to be found. What's up?" she says sounding concerned."Tell her to mind her business," Aala groans in the back of my mind. "This human is insufferable."I let out a small giggle, and Page gives me a weird look at my sudden outburst. "He has his own life, some of w
Finding My Mate: Book One Chapter Nine
My mother explained that her parents were both werewolves of a pack that doesn't exist anymore. There was a war between the rogues and her pack when she was a teenager, causing her and my grandparents to flee and live as rogues themselves. She actually never found her mate, and she just assumed he had died in the war which would explain how she survived on her own. She met my father, who she told the truth and he loved her just the same. My older brother knew about this, but since I had never talked about wolves or shifting or anything like that, they decided it wouldn't benefit me to not know, which I could understand.I just turned 18 and found my mate, so it only makes sense that my werewolf side has made itself known now, but they aren't sure if I will shift. My parents were suprisingly easy to talk to, and understanding to the whole situation. My brothers wolfs name was Ehno, which I later learned means protector. He mentioned that he doesn't think his blood can

"How cute, you're talking to yourself," someone snapped me from my sleep. I've never seen this person before, and somehow they have gotten into my room. He had a menacing smile on his lips, walking towards me with a blade in his hands. "Wh-who are you?" I ask, my voice sounding hoarse. "I wouldn't worry about that if I were you, little lady." he says still coming closer. "I'm just someone who is interested in seeing the Alpha mates half-blood power." "H-how did you know about me being a half-blood?" I stammer."I have my ways," he says with a shrug, playing with the point of the blade."You mean, there's more then one of you?" I ask, sounding braver then I thought it would. He shakes his head, giving me a deep smile as if to belittle me. "You're not a very smart girl. I guess I thought you would be.. a little more, I don't know.. special?" he says, sounding dissapointed. "Now come here, so I can end this already."
