15... No sooner did she turn around than Valen grasped for air as soon as her eyes rested on his face. She did not know she was standing behind him, in a way that the side of her hip almost touched his arm. She has completely forgotten she was standing so close to someone and that someone was him— the leader of the bully gang. "Give her a good lesson buddy! She needs something solid!" Yeoman's encouraging tone reached only to them. It rather seemed a double meaning sentence that focuses on something worse other than a good lesson as he described it! Valen moved a bit away maintaining some distance. All of a sudden her courage faded away just by looking at his face. He had some powers that has the audacity to control her. May be it was his personality that was playing with her mind. She turned her eyes to Yeoman at Riley's back giving him hard gazes. She will have to agree, he looked hot! His dressing sense is better than any other guy in their gang. "I heard you say something, can
16… All the while Ryley's eyes remained glued on Valen's body. He was though involved in cracking jokes with his friends while Hazel clung on his arm, his focus stayed only on Valen and her movements. He smiled with Hazel, laughed with his friends, there was only one thing that he was interested in notwithstanding. Her. Her every move caused him to direct his eyes in that direction and read her features. Nobody has ever intrigued him like this. He himself was shocked when he learned how his body reacted to her words and everything that she does. But there was nothing he could do. It was as if he was being attracted by her like how a bee gets attracted towards the scent of a flower. His emotions flowed against his will. He wanted to avoid her, unfortunately, something kept forcing him to keep noticing her. "Valen, would you mind helping me in the kitchen with cold drinks?" Zander's mom asked for her help. "Sure, Mrs. Brown." She replied happily like she was craving to help h
17.... A month later, In the evening, 'Where are you, I have been waiting for you in the class for twenty minutes! Are you even going to come, Ryley!' Hitting the message sent button Valen stomped her foot while whining at his stubbornness. It was her fifth message sent on W******p to him to come over to the class and sit with her to discuss the team project they were given by their IT teacher for creating a website. And like the previous ones, this one was ignored!, 'Ryley Shine!!!' Valen shook her head aggressively as he was really getting on her nerves. Ryley did forcibly become her partner but never came to discuss the project they were expected to do together. It seemed as if she was just a trophy partner for him. Someone who only enjoyed the tag of being his partner yet never got to work as one with him. "What the!" Valen clenched her jaw looking at the two blue ticks beside the message she sent with disbelieving expressions. "Seen but no reply?" she stared at the
18It felt awesome to walk in the empty corridors of the school. For the first time in so many days, Ryley felt so joyous enjoying the alone time with himself. No negative vibes around, no tension, nothing. Just him and only him everywhere you see from, walking proudly toward his locker.Still, his lips adored the same old smile throughout the time he left the classroom. No doubt she was crazy but the thing that excited him more was her confidence. Like other girls, she did not hesitate to talk to him after sharing such an intimate moment with him. In fact, she had the audacity to message him that symbolized more of her aggression within the text she sent him.He was purposely avoiding messaging her. Firstly, because of his friends those were sitting arou
19Next day in school,The bell for the completion of first lecture rang. All the students wished Miss. Calida a good afternoon after she wrapped the classes up. Some went to talk to her regarding the assignment she gave while some made their ways out. Regardless, our poor Valen sat in her place sighing defeatedly.She saw how their teacher explained and provided the ideas to do the work with craving eyesight. "They are all busy finishing their assignments off and here I have not even started mine!" she pouted to herself looking behind on the second last bench of the last row toward the end at his place.
20"So students today I have decided that we will play a game. Your Defence class have always been a fun, haven't it? We learned many different techniques how to defend yourself, drop someone on their knees without applying any energy, to faint someone by pressing in correct places on the neck and back, how to tame your opponent and defeat them without hurting them! Right. "All the students from both the badges were made to stand in a circle. The professor stood among them in the circle revising all the techniques they learned so far. The day was cool as compared to other sunny days, regardless there was someone in the crowd who was burning.Ryley and his gang. They can't see how Valen and Vivian whispered to each other, poked each other's arm playfully enjoyi
21The hustle bustle was no more alive in the canteen. All the students were shoved away by the bullies as they sat there alone regretting the lecture they just got publicly humiliated into! Hazel cried severely that her face turned blenched, and she struggled to regain her composure."All of you just go the fuck away! I don't want anyone here. What were you doing there when she insulted me there on the ground? Why didn't you come forward to defend me. I just hate you all." She screamed whirling her face madly as Ryley tried to control her.She was hurt for being defeated in front of the entire class. And on top of that the one who made her taste defeat was someone she hated to the core. "Please Hazel control yourself." Ryley requested calmly whi
22There are limits to everything in this world. And false hopes stands no exception here in this regard. Hazel cannot help but exit the canteen frustratedly when the useless mates of her gang did nothing great but give her false desires to have taken revenge on Valen real soon."They stood mute when she degraded me and now they give me promises that will never be kept and brought to execution." Whimpering on top, she whiningly came walking to the locker room.There was no one in the entire school so that was the only good part. Nobody would see her tears or win any opportunity to laugh on her. Hazel growled hitting her bag on her locker such that it gave birth to a strong noise before falling on the ground thud.Why is it so difficult to remove all such memories from the mind! Why do they keep coming back. She tho
chapter 92 "What is it, Dadda?" She calmly asked. Valen had this unusual feeling engulfing her body right after the moment she set her eyes on the alpha from the neighboring pack. She had not failed to register the sympathy in his eyes that he showed while talking to her during his introduction. She had heard it from Zander that there was an alpha friend of Ryley's father who helped Ryley rescue Valen, and today she saw him too. He was cool. His face was beautiful just like any other alpha like he was gifted with a gorgeous face by the moon goddess. His eyes held unsaid curiosity every time they looked at Valen. She liked the way he smiled at her but hated to see the atmosphere that varied after his arrival. Valen watched her Dadda twist his lips with a small smile. She never saw him acting so rigid before. There has to be some cause that was making him behave like that.
Bonus 2 (mbb)"Are you sure??" Jason inquired looking at Ryley's face in amusement as he nodded his head in a no. "You really don't feel anything?""No, I don't feel anything!" Ryley repeated his words to confirm it.Jason batted his lashes for a second and then diverted his eyes to his left to look at Ryley's father, "That is strange but awesome!" He exclaimed, taking off his spectacles, and placing it on the table across from him.Quietness blanketed the hall that was filled with alpha, his luna, the beta and his beta mate along with Ryley's friends in Jason's house. The news of Ryley's awakening from the coma brought about a wave of happiness.As the morning crept in, Alpha Hercules informed his beta and all of hi
Chapter 90/bonus chapter.***Soft rays of the sun crept inside Valen's room through the window. They filtered through the smallest holes of the thin curtain and spread, and cascaded on the tiles of her room.She stirred in her sleep as some memories of Ryley crossed her mind. She saw him hugging her protectively while his eyes fearfully looked before them. Valen saw themselves in the same place as that of that night in the forest when they lost Vivian during the perilous fight with Zalreth.Her lashes stuck closer, creating wrinkles on her forehead. Her facade was covered with sweat as Valen witnessed something hitting right through Ryley's chest until his clutch around her let loose and he fell beneath."Ryley!!!" She sat up on the bed with a jolt.Her wide eyes looked in the front while she grasped for air. Valen batted her lashes in order to
89Third person's point of view...Pupils fixed at the house across, Valen nibbled on her Lower lip. Nervousness was visible on her cheeks. She was trembling badly. The forming salinity of her weeping tasted bitter in her mouth. Now even her appearance seemed asking for mercy."I can't go inside Zander, I just can't." Her legs took some steps backwards as Valen cried.They were standing in the front of alpha Hercules' bungalow. The open window of Ryley's bedroom was where her irises continuously gawked. She was not ready to see him in the condition.Seeing him bedridden was the last thing she desired to see. Leave that, she even regretted agreeing to Zander and coming here with him."It's okay Valen, let's go inside. I promise nothing will happen." Trying to fit her slender palm within his, Zander assured her.He discerned how gravely she paled. She was not ready. It was though required for her to go inside. Only he knows how he convinced Jason to let her come with him.She is not unde
88"At least eat something Valen. Will your hungry stomach bring Ryley or Vivian back to you! Come on, show some bravery. You are a wolfs daughter, you have to be strong. This is nothing Valen. You have not seen the triumph yet and I don't even want you to see that. At least, you can stay strong. For Ryley." Jason caressed his daughter's hair as she was sitting on the railing of the window staring the darkening clouds.From last two weeks she has been sitting like this only. Her once chiming room have fallen quiet. The Valen who only knew how to laugh and keep other laughing— was lost.Vivian's death left her in deep misery. More than Ryley, the loss of a good and saviour friend traumatised her. It was an agony, he died for that mate who never loved him.Even Hazel, she realized his love while
87Two weeks later,"Alpha, the school will have the exams conducted from next week. And Principal wants to meet you for some time discussion." Keeping aside his files and removing his artificial specs Alpha Hercules allowed the watcher to bring the Principal inside.He was devoid of any expressions. Just that the life was going on after that unfortunate day.Yeah, two week to that cursed night and a lot has changed.The joy and glamour from within the Alpha's house have died. Not only did the same happened to his friends but also Valen, his mate.Some incident leave infinite marks on your memories. They are so strong and unbearable that the more you try to get rid of them the closer they get to your heart. You cannot esc
86Hazel's point of view...I never liked his eyes as they always held an unspoken emotion towards me.I was also dreaded by them since I knew my one view at them... And I would be spelled.No doubts he loved me, I had understood that right on that night when he had sneaked into my room and Forcibly had sex with me.However, it was not a forced sex though as I had wilfully granted him the permission to invade my limits.He never got to mark me. I never let him to. Even then, the pull was too strong that I cannot do anything when he came around.His smell was the first thing I would get to inhale whenever he neared me.A
85Valen's emotions were put at stake. This was unbelievable! She had thought it was Ryley who kept following her and stalking her all this time. But to her astonishment, it was this creature.His brown eyes was something she spotted many times in the darkness, and she thought it was him only who had always followed her day and night. But seeing this creature before her she can only imagine the worst now.It was so fucking unbearable as all this while she was being stalked by an entity who not Ryley. Her eyes blurred with new tears as she saw Ryley struggling to free himself from the red rope that was clutching him.Their love was put to the test of time. Zalreth was unstoppable. He was constantly chanted mantras in his language bringing more and more of red smoke to cover the area.&n
84His feet hit the ground under the dead silence. It was pitch dark with no source of light except the beam of moon light declining below on the land surface from between the trees. Ryley had the amethyst stone for the lightning purpose, he did not use it though.The reason was clear as anything— because, Zalreth sent his another message while Ryley was on his path to reach the woods land. The message was not really a message but a command that certainly directed him to not bring any source of light with him.It was the full moon night, and today, as per the details he had got from the library of Africa, was the night when Zalreth can acquire powers. That powers can come from the Rex Stone... That was why he asked for it today by any how. And he knew he can only get it if he takes away the rebellious Ryley's mate with himself.
