ANDREA. I just got off the phone with Gamma Carlos. He told me what happened during the attack and assured me that Caspian was safe. I would have wanted to speak with Caspian, but he was nowhere near the packhouse. Gamma Carlos told me the Alpha was everywhere to appease the pack and to make sure the injured were getting their treatment, including Riley. Riley. I was thankful that Caspian was unharmed, but finding out that Riley was critical didn’t put me at complete ease. I knew I hated him for all the things that he was doing, but I didn’t want him dead, not this way. He might be behaving badly because of me, but I knew, and I believe, deep inside him, there was still the Riley I knew. The fact that he showed up and assisted Caspian’s pack was enough proof that he still has goodness in him. And I prayed to the Goddess to give him another chance so he could rectify his mistakes. The door to Riley’s office opened an
ANDREA. Riley waking up was the continuation of the nightmare I was trying to keep running away from. His eyes were telling me that this time he would not back down and would claim me as his Luna by the full moon. I didn’t have time to respond or object to his words because nothing I could say would change his mind. I bolted out of the door and ran away. I heard him call after me before a loud grunt vibrated from his throat. His wounds might be paining him, but I didn’t give a fuck. I was so done with his manipulation and the thought that having a near-death experience might have altered his mindset vanished into the thin air. The Riley I knew was gone, replaced by a heartless, manipulative Alpha. The last two days went by in a blur. I stopped receiving calls from Caspian. I knew nothing about the outside world. I feel more constrained now. Jenny goes wherever I go. And although we talked and we trained a lot, I cou
GAMMA SEBASTIAN.I looked at the big clock hanging on the outside wall of the training building. It was five minutes past seven in the morning.I grabbed my shirt and pulled it on over my body before mindlinking my second in command that I would be leaving the training ground now.I wanted to talk with Riley. I was so fucking pissed off with him right now that him being my Alpha could do nothing to stop me from letting him know how I felt.He was acting like a fucking teenager with hormonal issues and not the fucking Alpha that he was.Last night, Andrea came knocking on our door in the middle of the night. Her eyes were puffy and she looked like she had been crying for hours. Jenny told her she would accompany her back to her room and they could talk there. But she refused. She didn’t want to be anywhere near Riley’s room right now, which was, of course, just beside hers.So I left them so they could talk freely, only to c
I grabbed my silk robe and wrapped it around my almost naked body, tying it up tightly. I loosened my hair from its ponytail and walked towards the door. My heart was beating loudly as I opened and slipped out of it, dragging my feet to Riley’s room. I didn’t even have to knock, the door just opened and Riley was behind it. His chest was naked and he had only his sweatpants on. His hair was still dripping wet, telling me he had just got off the shower. His eyes raked my whole body up and down, but his eyes were showing no emotions at all. I kept my mouth shut and entered his room, stopping at the foot of his bed. I tried to hold my head high as I turned around to face him, doing my best not to show any weakness, but I was sure that he could hear my heartbeat thudding loudly. I smiled weakly at him. "Can we do it with the lights off?" He didn’t say anything, but he went to open the side lamps and dimmed them before turning o
ANDREA. I didn't realize how long I’d been sitting outside Riley’s door. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think. And then I heard small, soft footsteps getting louder by the second. Someone was coming. I sucked in a hard breath, slowly lifting my tear-stricken face to see Jenny approaching. Her eyes started to water as her gaze fell on my miserable state. She kneeled in front of me and cupped my knees, still pressing against my chest. "The Alpha asked me to pick you up." I didn’t say anything. I was just looking at her. My tears kept falling. "Did he touch you?" She asked in an almost inaudible voice, biting her lower lip to stop it from quivering. "No…" I said, shaking my head, and her soft sobs finally escaped her throat as she pulled me into a tight hug. "Oh, Goddes, Thank you!" Jenny cried as we held on to each other as more tears streamed down my face. "Sebastian and I were already going ballistic. I d
ALPHA RILEY. I went directly to my office after my morning run. I let my wolf out, as I used to do but haven’t had time since Andrea came back. Last night, I was able to sleep soundly. For the longest time, I never had a good sleep. After my encounter with Andrea, I felt like a burden was lifted from my chest. I was finally able to confirm that I didn’t feel strongly anymore about her. I still loved her, and I think I will always do so, but gone was the passion that I had for her. I couldn’t even find it in my heart to feast over her almost naked body. It felt wrong. It felt like my eyes were only meant for someone. That if I looked at another female, I would betray her. I knew the person female who my eyes wanted to feast on, but I didn’t even know who she was. So I contented myself by remembering how she smelled and how my mouth was salivating for her. And I found pleasure last night just thinking of her, conjuring my own ima
CASPIAN.Riley was already at the place he wanted us to meet when I arrived. I didn’t see him at first because his car, which I was familiar with, was nowhere in sight. It was only when one of his men went out of a white SUV parked on the other side of the parking lot that I knew he was already around.The man, who introduced himself as Tristan, approached and told us that his Alpha was waiting in the white SUV. He said that Riley would rather meet me away from the eyes of the crowd.I didn’t know what game he was playing in. But I didn’t have second thoughts about approaching him. I had nothing to lose. He had taken everything away from me.I opened the door to the passenger side of the car he was in. He was sitting in the driver’s seat and didn’t even glance at me as I slid in.For a moment, no one said a word. But I didn’t want to waste any more time."I have forty-five million. Give me Andrea and I wil
KATARINA. "Are you sure you want to do this?" I looked at Nadia as I handed her the key to my motorcycle. I hadn’t used this in a while, but I had someone keep it in good condition. Nadia just nodded her head as she took the key from my hand. "I have to. If I wait for the next full moon, it might be too late. I have to take advantage of the ball tonight. At least if I go tonight, my uncle will just think I'm whoring around and won’t look after me. I have time to get away as far as I can. Because I’m sure he’ll lock me up soon as we near the next full moon." I smiled weakly at her and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her for a tight hug. "When will I see you again?" She bit her lower lip as tears pooled in her eyes. "I don’t know. Maybe when the old fart is dead. Or when he’s married, he wanted nothing to do with me anymore." "I’ll miss you." I closed my eyes to stop my tears from falling. Nadia and I grew up together. Her father abandoned her when she was just a newborn, and s
