He gently turned me toward him. "Syla, no regrets. We've shared moments, and I've come to care deeply for you."His eyes locked onto mine, the connection was intense."More than gratitude?" I whispered.Ryker nodded. "Much more."Without another word, he leaned in, his lips brushing mine. The kiss ignited a fire within. His lips were soft and sweet, As we broke apart, gasping for air, Ryker smiled. "I've wanted that for a while."I didn't know what to say, I just lowered my head.We swam closer, our bodies touching, the lake's tranquility surrounding us."Flame's father..." Ryker began."Blaze," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.Ryker's expression turned serious. "We'll protect Flame, and you. Together."At the mention of Blaze's name, my thoughts flew to him and what we had. I was scared that I'd never see him again.As night fell, we returned to the pack, making sure we were far apart. We didn't need more rumors.Miss Mandy and Naki watched me as I went to my bed, "Everythin
As morning dawned, Ryker's gentle wake-up call roused me. "Syla, sunrise. We should move."I stretched, Flame stirring in my arms. "Good morning."Ryker smiled, his eyes crinkling. "Sleep well?"I nodded, recalling the whispered goodnight. "Someone's a romantic."Ryker's chuckle warmed my heart. "Guilty."We broke camp, continuing our journey. Flame giggled at Ryker's playful antics, easing tensions.At dusk, we reached the second cave. This one was much bigger and more secluded, "I think we good here for a while." he announced then quickly helped me set up our things, as the days passed he built us a bed, our area was way back at the end of the cave, he put up privacy curtains so I could change and nurse in private, but mostly so he could sneak in at night and cuddle with us. Then his beta burst in, They are on our borders we must go now! We all quickly grabbed our things and ran, Alpha Ryker knew I could not shift and run because of my baby, He stayed with us as we ran, "They will
Panicked, Naki and Miss Mandy frantically searched the deserted campsite."This can't be happening!" Miss Mandy exclaimed, tugging at the silver restraints. Naki's eyes welled up with tears. "Alpha Ryker's gone rogue. He's taken Syla and Flame."Meanwhile, Blaze's journey to reunite with Syla was met with an eerie silence.*Syla, please respond!* Still, no answer. Unease crept in. Something was wrong.Erebus's trackers closed in on Alpha Ryker's hidden location. Jake reported back, "Alpha Ryker's settlement is heavily guarded." Erebus's eyes narrowed. "stay back and keep watching report any changes."As night fell, Naki and Miss Mandy huddled together,"We must find Syla," Naki whispered.Miss Mandy's resolve strengthened. "We will , and bring her back home."Then they heard pounding paws on the ground It was Blaze, Storm and Rain! "Where is Syla?" he demanded, Relief washed over Naki and Miss Mandy as they embraced Blaze, Storm, and Rain."We were left behind, restrained," Naki expl
Erebus's sinister plan unfolded, fueling Blaze's anguish.Jake snapped photos of Syla, Ryker, and Flame, capturing moments of tender deception. Erebus gloated, imagining Blaze's devastation. "These images will shatter his resolve."Meanwhile, Blaze's despair deepened. "I've lost her," he whispered, surrounded by memories. Storm and Rain struggled to keep their brother's hope alive."We'll find her, Blaze. Syla's still our mate," Storm insisted.Blaze's eyes, once bright, now dimmed. "Ryker's won. She's gone."As Erebus's scheme progressed, Syla remained oblivious, living a fragile illusion.****Ryker's protective instincts shielded me from the truth, his feelings genuine. but his tactics were cruel."I'll always safeguard you, Syla," he vowed, his love unrequited.Flame thrived, bonding with Ryker, her tiny heart unaware of the complexities. His Pack's acceptance enveloped us, a temporary sanctuary.Yet, Blaze's love persisted, a beacon in the darkness.I went about my daily tasks as
The next night after putting Flame to bed, I grabbed my clothes and headed to the lake, determined to find answers.Ryker was busy with his men as I slipped away. I sat there skating as I reached for my hidden phone, I quickly typed a message to Naki, I knew she wouldn't lie to me. "Why did Blaze take a new mate? How could he just go on with his life and forget about me?" I pressed send. my whole body was shaking tears flowed down my face as I waited.. washing my feet in the water.*****Naki's phone beeped and they all rushed to her to see, it was from Slya! but when they read the message Their hearts sank, they all turned to Blaze, "I'm going to fucking kill him! He's deceiving her! He wants her for himself! Blaze growled so loud the neighboring packs heard him."Naki hurry type back and tell her the truth, she needs to know not to trust him!" Storm stood watching her as she typed."What are you saying? You are his ONLY mate!, He's worried sick about you, we are all trying hard to
That morning I woke and fed Flame, I watched them all go about their chores as I did mine, I could not wait for the evening to come, It was my only connection to my mates, family, and my Home!Ryker came in several times and he smiled at me. I smiled back not wanting to make him suspicious. I had feelings for Ryker, but I loved my Mates! and I wanted to go home.I was making our makeshift bed when Nova asked.*What about the Counsil, will they still try to kill Flame?*My heart stopped! Goddess no, I can't go back, my baby! I won't risk her life, all my hopes faded and I became depressed.As night descended, my hopes slowly faded away.. I fell asleep with Flame in my arms.I didn't even bathe that night...****They all waited for a message from me, but none came."Why hasn't she messaged us?" Blaze whispered. His whole body shook as he held tight to his phone, his only link to her."I need to check in on Dad," Rain said as he got up and left the room, He wiped his tears away as he w
I reached the top holding my phone up in the air, turning, seeking a signal. The mountain peak had beckoned, a risk worth taking.With trembling fingers, I sent another message."Blaze? Are you there?" I waited shivering it had turned cold and I had no blanket."I'm here Syla, please tell me where you are," he responded, and my heart sank."I don't know, I'm on the top of a mountain." I texted back."I love you, and I want to come home, please help me, Blaze!"Blaze yelled for them to come "It's SYLA!They all ran down the stairs, wiping sleep from their eyes. They gathered around Blaze reading the messages, Storm hurried to his computer and started tracking her phone and what towers she was bouncing off of.Just as the computers were closing in her phone signal dropped."FUCK!" Storm yelled. as he saw her signal disappear from his screen before he could get a location.****I had been gone too long, I had to go back. just as I walked into the clearance I saw him standing outside the
I woke up to him pacing all of our things I moved slowly, "What's wrong love." he asked. "I hate moving so much!" I said."It's the life of a Rogue," he smiled like this was all normal to him, in fact, no one seemed bothered by it at all. "Where are we going now?" I asked."Lone Wolf's Ridge," he said. as he carried out the last bag. "Come on Syla, he yelled for me, as I quickly wrote 'Lone Wolf's Ridge' with a stick, in the dirt where my bed used to be."I'm coming," I yelled as I left the cave.****It took them three days to get to her location, and when they saw that he had moved them once again His heart sank, but then Storm yelled for him inside the cave. He pointed to the writing on the ground, Blaze smiled, as he whispered "Good girl!" he had hope again, it was only a few hours' drive from where they were. They all got back in the Hummer."Try to mind link with her now that we are closer," Storm said as he drove.*Syla* My heart skipped a beat when I heard his voice. I smil
I spent the rest of the day resting and preparing myself for the training that lay ahead. Kira and the elder dragon had explained that my training would be intense and challenging, but I was determined to learn as much as I could. The next morning, I woke up early, feeling refreshed and ready to start my training. Kira was already in the kitchen, cooking up a hearty breakfast. Ryker was sitting at the table, sipping on a cup of coffee. He smiled at me, that sexy smile of his that made my body warm and wet."Good morning," Kira said, smiling at me, drawing my attention away from Ryker. "Today's the day we start your training. Are you ready?" I nodded, feeling a surge of excitement. "I was born ready," I said, grinning. Kira chuckled and handed me a plate of food, and I dug in, fueling up for the long day ahead.After breakfast, Kira and Ryker led me to a secluded clearing deep in the forest. The elder dragon was already there, standing tall and proud. "This is where your training will
As we stood at Miss Mandy's gravesite, surrounded by the pack and the dragons, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and grief. She had been like a mother to me, and her passing had left a huge void in my heart.The ceremony was beautiful, with Kira saying some heartfelt words about Miss Mandy's life and legacy. The dragons also paid their respects, with the elder dragon bowing his head in respect.As we said our final goodbyes, I felt a strange sensation in the air. It was as if Miss Mandy's spirit was still with us, watching over us.Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew through the trees, carrying with it the scent of lavender and vanilla. It was Miss Mandy's scent, and it filled my heart with warmth and comfort.I smiled, knowing that she was still with us, guiding us and protecting us. But little did I know, something else was happening…As we walked back to our homes, I noticed that the dragons were gathered around the elder dragon, who was speaking to them in a low tone. I wondere
My heart was breaking into a million pieces, She was like a mother to me.The things that she was saying didn’t make much since, we didn’t understand and she looked to us with great confusion. It was almost as if she could not comprend why we were not getting it. I looked to Kira, “She is inbetween worlds.” she started to explain in whispers, “What she sees we con not began to understand.” I nodded looking back at her, she smiled. “Your Soul is so beautiful, Syla!” she smiled. I am lucky to have been your pretend mom. I love you!” she reached out for my hand but then something caught her eye. She staired it down. “You will NEVER have her!!” she yelled, and it startled everyone in the room. “Is everything ok, Miss Mandy?” I asked wanting to know who she was yelling at.“Yes, I will deal with her on the other side,” she said with a grin and a wink, “and you can call me moomm too.”“Mom, who were you yelling at?”“Janet!” she is still trying to hurt you and your babies, I’ll put a stop
I sat at my computer looking at our website for Venom, the sales was doing great, and the reviews were amazing, but hen i got a notification, from someone that I havnt heard from in awhile, It was Miss Mandy, As I read her message my heart sank. She said that she had been having problems and saw a doctors, thing gradually got worst and she had been admitted in the hospital, I’m on my way. I typed.What room are you in? I asked as I was grabbing my things.ICU she responded and my heart stopped. This is bad, very bad, I phone Naki to be ready, I quickly explained as tears rolled down my cheeks, Naki was crying too, Miss Mandy had always been there for us and now its our turn to be there for her, Alpha Samuel was shocked to hear this news about his sister, he said hed drive us there, and would be here in a few minutes with Naki.“What hospital is she in?” he said wiping tears away.I quickly typed out a response to Miss Mandy, asking her which hospital she was in. My hands were shaking
As we sat around the fire, watching the moon set over the horizon, Storm spoke up, his voice sexy low, and husky. "That was amazing," he signed and spoke so that Emma knew what he was saying too, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "I'm so glad we got to experience that together," he said looking at Emma with a smile. She looked puzzled, and I explained to her where we had been. She was super excited and wanted to join us on our next adventure.Rain nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with enthusiasm. "It was definitely one for the books," he signed, grinning. "I got some amazing footage, too." he smiled showing her his phone. After the first video, she was hooked.Ryker smiled, his eyes warm with affection. "We make a good team," he signed, his voice filled with emotion. "We always have each other's backs." She nodded knowing that we were a tight circle, and glad to be a part of it.I nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude and love for my mates. "We do," I said and signed, smiling. "A
As the storm finally began to subside, we pulled over to assess the damage. The Hummer was battered but still intact, and we were all shaken but unharmed. Rain was busy checking his cameras, making sure that he had captured the footage we needed. Blaze was grinning from ear to ear, still pumped up from the adrenaline rush of the storm. Ryker was checking the Hummer's systems, making sure that everything was functioning properly.And Storm, well, Storm was quiet, his eyes fixed on the horizon as he watched the storm dissipate. I knew that look, it was the look of a man who was already planning our next adventure. As we stood there, surveying the aftermath of the storm, I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. We had faced down the fury of the storm and come out on top. It was a feeling that I would never get tired of."Alright, let's get moving," Storm signed, breaking the silence. "We've got footage to review and a storm to analyze." We piled back into the Hummer, eager to start re
In the middle of it all Storm rushes to me, grabbing my hand.“Hurry we have to go!”I am being pulled to the hummer and all of my mates are inside, with smiles on their faces. I get in and Blaze buckles my seatbelt, “ Its gonna be a bumpy ride!”“What’s going on?” I asked in all the commotion.“Twister, not far from here!” Storm shouts as we speed off.“We are going to get some great footage!” Rain says as he prepares the cameras that were mounted to the roof of the Hummer.Ryker pulled me in for a kiss, “Are you ready for this?” I smiled the most devious smile that I could muster.. “I love this!”As we sped down the highway, the wind whipping through my hair, I felt a rush of adrenaline coursing through my veins. Storm chasing was not for the faint of heart, but with my mates by my side, I knew we were in for the adventure of a lifetime. The thrill of the unknown, the rush of the storm, it was exhilarating.Rain, our tech expert, was busy checking the cameras mounted to the roof of
I woke up in the middle of the night and had to call Naki.She answered the phone groggy, “Is everything ok?” she asked.“Yes, I know what to name it! It’s perfect!”“Huh?”“The perfume, it just came to me in a dream. ‘Venom’ it stops them in their tracks. They can’t resist it.” I was smiling but Naki was yawning, Yeah, that's great”Naki's yawning turned into a laugh. "Okay, okay, I get it. 'Venom' is the perfect name. Can I go back to sleep now?" I laughed, still feeling the excitement of my midnight epiphany. "Sorry, girl. But I had to share it with you. Get some rest, we've got work to do tomorrow."The next morning, Naki and I met up at our favorite coffee shop, buzzing with energy and ideas. We spent hours brainstorming, and tossing around marketing strategies and packaging designs for our new line of 'Venom perfume’.As we sipped our lattes, Naki's eyes widened with excitement. "I've got it! We'll market it as a luxury brand, with sleek packaging and a sophisticated logo. We'll
Naki called me the next day. “How did it go?” “Well,” I started giggling. “Did you try it too?”“OMG! He was all over me!!” she blushed just thinking about it.“My mates were insanely sexual, They couldn't get enough.”“I’m buying stock!” she laughed.I couldn't help but laugh at Naki's enthusiasm. "I know, right? It's like they couldn't resist us!" still grinning from ear to ear.Naki giggled, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "I'm serious, though. I'm buying stock in that perfume company. We can market it to shifters and make a fortune!"I laughed, shaking my head. "You're a genius, Naki. But we should probably test it out some more before we start investing." I smiled at the thought of another hot night with my mates.Naki nodded, her expression turning serious. "Good point. We don't want to rush into anything. But I have to say, I'm intrigued by the possibilities. Imagine being able to enhance our natural pheromones and attract our mates on a whole new level..."I felt a shiver
