An important commitment had taken the Alpha out of Rizine's room that night and they never got past the kissing stage. Rizine was thankful and happy, a part of her wasn't comfortable having sex with a man she just met not up to five hours ago. Now that she was alone in her room, she plumped herself on the bed and exhaled a pent up breath. Was this going to be her new life? The bride to Alpha Ryker? But with all the things she stood to gain like the fame, the riches, the luxuries and the fact that she was the wife of a handsome and powerful Alpha like Ryker, Rizine was comfortable with it. It's not like her current identity as Rizine was fetching her any good — she was a slave, labeled a killer and a traitor, abused by Aster and nearly sacrificed. So she would give up that identity gladly. And assume a new and better one as Queen Yasmina. What could possibly go wrong? -:- "How was your night, Yasmina?" Alpha Ryker asked Rizine as they ate breakfast together the next
Rizine's eyes twitched, her face grimacing as she moved and rolled from side to side on her bed — though comforting, but sleeping on this bed have been giving her constant nightmares since three nights ago she stepped into this palace. And it was always the same dream every single night and it would end in the same horrific and confusing way she couldn't really understand. She would see a little version of herself, like three or four years old Rizine — the Rizine that knew no pain, the Rizine that didn't have bruises or scars, the Rizine that was untouched and pure, the Rizine who wasn't a slave to anyone, the Rizine who had an identity. She was playing with building blocks, laughing and giggling in what seemed like a play house, just for her. And a woman who gave off a very beautiful aura would carry her into her arms and rock her, twirl her and smile at her lovingly. Rizine couldn't see her face clearly at all, but she saw the way her little self smiled at the woman as they
Rizine realized the deep situation she was in now. With the way things were, there's no way she could defend herself against what this scene looked like. Her hands were bloodied, she was lying next to their father and her hands were gripped on the wolfsbane. It looked like she had killed him. She saw another emotion on their faces now, raw anger and strong loath. "P–please…" She didn't even know how to beg or how to explain she didn't do this. She was a nobody and she was affiliated with Aster and his rogues, they would easily key into the notion that she was sent by him to kill their father. Before Rizine could even lay in another word, Killian had brought out a gun and was pointing at her menacingly. Rizine's eyes widened in horror and she immediately got up from the ground and began moving backwards, away from him cautiously. "Killian, calm down. Don't shoot her. We have to take her back to the pack and deal with her according to the law. Don't do something reckless —
"Killian, Milan! I didn't kill your father, and I can swear it. But I know who killed him." Rizine stated and it got the twins' attention. Killian stared at her with furrowed brows and then he lowered his gun. "What do you mean you know who killed him? Okay, tell us who killed him then. And if you're lying, I will end you Rizine." Killian stated and Rizine nodded, showing them the smirking man who was behind the tree. The blood was still dripping from the wolfsbane in his hand — their father's blood. Killian and Milan turned to the direction Rizine pointed and they couldn't see anything. They only saw the trees and the bushes, no one was there. Rizine was playing on their intelligence and she wanted to trick them into being distracted so she can run away. Smart — but not so smart. "I don't see anyone." Milan said, squinting his eyes to scan the perimeter. Killian chuckled sinisterly and looked away from the folly 'invisible' killer Rizine was trying to show them, "That's beca
"Please, don't kill me!" Rizine screamed and the next that followed was that she immediately sprang up from her bed with urgency. She was heaving heavy breaths and was sweating profusely. Her whole pillow was stained with her sweat and she looked around her environment and saw that she wasn't in the forest again, but it wasn't in the dungeons or the smelly place Aster kept her or the old man's house. Instead, she was in a beautiful bedroom. It was then it all came coming back to her. She was in the new quarters Alpha Ryker had built specially for her. Rizine's breaths began to steady as she kept assuring herself that she was away from danger, she was away from Aster and his evil plans, she was away from the twins, their hatred for her and their intent to kill her. She was away from all that. Now, she was the Luna to Alpha Ryker and she was living the best life, a luxurious life that she had never imagined she'd ever experience in her entire life. But here she was, living
Rizine was always so confused about everything! She couldn't even comprehend how strange her life has been these days. It was all so strange. She sighed and stepped out from her bed, wore her slippers and went to the mirror. She stared at herself in the mirror — just in three days that she had been here in Alpha Ryker's house, she had gotten considerably more healthier. The eye bags on her eyes were disappearing, her eyes had also lost that dead look they always had, they weren't hollow anymore too. Her blemishes and injuries were beginning to heal — they were doing a great job treating her with their greatest medicines and she was healing faster than ever. She looked better, and her beauty was beginning to resurface again. She smiled at her reflection in the mirror — she even looked more happier and her smile seemed more genuine and real. She was really happy, although filled with worry but she was happy. At least now, she was away from all the trouble in her heart even though it m
I was admiring myself in the mirror since beauty is the most important thing to every woman in the world. "We would use her..." I heard a voice coming outside the door. I got up and peek at the door. "Who? Rizine?" he asked. I was closely listening to the conversation outside the door. Since my curiosity interrupted me from preparing myself. I opened the door a little, very slowly and quietly, so they won't hear the opening of the door. I peek at the opened space of the door and saw that Alpha Ryker and Aster were talking. I listen quietly to their conversation "We would use her as a trap. Then blamed the queen for killing the twins," Alpha Ryker stated. My hands started shaking, and my knees trembled. I could hear a loud heartbeat coming from my chest. I felt something inside me broke. My emotions were mixed at this moment. I was shocked by what I had heard since they were just using me as a trap. I was not even there when they planned this, and I dont want to be part of thi
The tension of argument was getting more heated. The words coming from their mouth is not acceptable. The words coming from our mouth is like a fire because every insult was unacceptable. "You are so jealous that my mate is much better than you," I mocked the twins. If they can say harsh words about me, then I can do that too. I can be better than their own game. I felt like leaving this place earlier, but I just found myself arguing with them. It feels like I was not supposed to let anyone insult me. "I am not jealous!" One of the twins was being defensive. "Then why are you looking so pathetic right now?" I asked them and smirked. I always hated their guts. Seeing the twins makes my blood boil. I took a deep breath and sighed. I make myself calm down to look cool and make the twins feel bad. "You know Alpha Ryker, we changed our mind. Just keep her as your queen a lowly person like her must be greedy with power," they mocked Alpha Ryker. It seems that I insult them too muc
