Nathan works in his Nephews company. As it is a well-known fact that his Nephew and Boss of the Black Securities firm Carter is busy with his Alpha duties. It is Nathan who stepped in to take the responsibilities of the company until Carter could deal with Joshua and now David. Even though Carter looks over all the important files and everything will be approved by him, it's Nathan who is the temporary boss of the company now. Nathan goes to the company by eight every morning and will sign off at six in the evening. He still stays in the Blue moon pack, which takes him roughly half an hour to reach there. He comes and goes alone as no one is aware that David is targeting everyone who is dear to Carter. On the same day when Sophie was attacked by David, Nathan was coming back from work in his car. Today he had to stay a little longer to finish some important work. He is still unaware of the fact that David is behind Joshua and he actually had the audacity to sneak inside his pack. N
'We can do this often then. Running feels good when we have company ' Riley offered.Sophie's wolf nodded her head in agreement. As she is an omega, her wolf looks much smaller than Riley's wolf, who has grown bigger in size after being mated to an Alpha. Sophie's wolf is a little more than a German Shepherd in size.But the size difference never bothers both of them. Riley loves Sophie and vice versa. They are loyal to each other and always want the best for each other one.'I like that idea ' Sophie's wolf agreed. Both of them stood just at the edge of the pack territory and are gazing at the vast woods that are spread beyond their pack. After a couple of miles from their pack begins the Prospect pack territory. That is the closest pact to the Blue moon pack.'Let's go back before someone notice that we are gone ' Sophie suggested. Riley nodded her head and both of them turned back. But just before Riley could take a step in the direction of the Blue moon pack, she heard a howl. I
"You should dream when you are sleeping, moron. Dreaming with your eyes open is not good for you" Nathan and David heard a new but familiar voice interrupting in the middle.Nathan looked at Riley with panic. He knows she is not a match for David and he would easily kill her in an instant."Riley, what are doing? Run" he instructed her with panic.Riley looked at a heavily wounded Nathan who is worried about her when he is in very bad shape. Her heart softened for that man even more. "Don't worry about me, we can go back together " she assured him confidently.Nathan is now completely scared. He was never worried about his life, but he doesn't want anything to happen to Riley or Carter."What are doing Riley? Just run and inform Carter. Please run away from here" he urged with urgency.Riley shook her head with determination.Nathan knows that if something happens to Riley, it would directly affect Carter. "Riley, think about Carter. Think about what would happen to him if something
Carter and Ajax found the motel which is sheltering David. "Look" Ajax showed the pictures and the map David has in his possession. The map has all the shortcuts to all the packs marked from everywhere. David has pictures of Riley, Sophie, Carter, and Nathan. Nathan's picture is marked with a red sketch, and so does Sophie's picture. "Why does he have all these pictures with him? And why did he mark these two pictures with red ink? " Ajax asked Carter with suspicion. Carter understood what David is planning to do. "I think he is planning to target the four of us. The red ink means the people he tried to kill?" he said as the reality of the situation began to sink in. "That means he went after Nathan?" Ajax asked. Carter became pale. David never liked Nathan because the other man has taken care of his Nephew after his mother's death. He always held so much resentment about the same. But he ignored Nathan and Carter despite his anger. He was never expecting his son to raise a
Riley is pacing the floor of the Alpha quarters. She is worried about how angry Carter would be. She doesn't want to upset him, but at the same time, she couldn't sit still in one place for a longer time. 'Riley, how about we try to pacify his anger ?' her wolf suggested. Riley frowned. 'Pacify him? After what I did? Do you think it's possible?' She asked feeling worried. Her wolf smirked. 'You should learn the art of seduction. All you do is fight like a man and wear tomboy clothes. Did you ever try to wear feminine clothes? Did you ever try to seduce him? ' her wolf questioned. Riley bit her lower lip. She never did anything to attract Carter. Her wolf is right. She always fights beside men and that's it. She never did anything special or feminine as her wolf suggested. 'You are right. But do you think I should do that now?' She asked hesitantly. Her wolf sighed. 'This is the time when you should try your hand at the art of seduction Riley. That way you can surprise him and
"Why will i be?" he asked. It is his turn to become confused now. Riley smiled sheepishly. "You specifically asked me not to go out of the pack territory. But i disobeyed you again. I thought you will not be pleased" she confessed. Carter shook his head. "Yes, i will not lie to you. I used to think that it would have been good if i could make you obey my every command. As my worry about your safety is greater, i never wanted you to be in any kind of trouble. But today you proved again that you can get out of any kind of sticky situation. It's true that you will need help at a time or two, but mostly you will be fine. But after what you did today, i realized that i like you the way you are. It's my love and protective instinct that always tried to shield you. But how wrong was i to keep you locked up in one place? I am really proud of you Riley. How can i be angry at you?" he explained. Riley is moved by his words. He is trying to understand her and is accepting her the way she is
David is in a weak state. The wolfsbane dart with which he was stabbed by Riley drained him of his energy completely. It is by his sheer willpower that he managed to escape from those ropes with which he tightly secured to a tree. Even though he escaped, he couldn't go far. His depleting energy forced him to take rest more often than he liked. So he had to hide in the Blue moon pack territory. He is sitting on a tree and he is well hidden by the branches. A few of the Blue moon pack warriors came searching for him and even the warriors who are patrolling the pack couldn't find him. Even though they paused and looked around the area when they caught his scent, they had to move when they did not find anything suspicious. "Riley" he sneered the name of the woman whom he once fancied. But now, her name itself is enough to make his blood boil. She is not meek or an idiot. She is fierce and a smart warrior. He is angry that his son is blessed with such a capable mate. 'Not for long. If
Carter's eyes became black, as his wolf came to the forefront of his mind. He knows that the fire is not an accident. It is planned and executed by none other than David. He is sure David is still inside the Blue moon pack territory, watching everything. David would never miss how miserable he made his son feel. He enjoys his son's misery. He finds some maniacal happiness to torture his son emotionally. Carter knows that, and he was a victim of David's emotional torture when his mother was still alive. He used to see how David used to hurt his mate and how helpless Carter used to feel. Carter's mother used to hide everything from their grandfather and everyone else."Try to stop the fire from spreading" Carter instructed out loud. He intentionally hid the fact that Nathan is still alive. He wanted David to be under the illusion that he killed Nathan.'Ajax, it's David. This is not an accident. He must be still inside our pack territory. Search for him ' his mind linked his Beta.Ajax
After one week, Riley is nervously sitting near her vanity. She is wearing a beautiful off-shoulder white dress, which reaches her ankles. The dress has stone detailing near the bodies. It is a pretty fishtail dress, which hugs her curves to her thighs before flowing down. Her ears have studded blue diamond earrings. Sophie styled her hair into a fancy bun, which is sitting on the nape of her neck. Her makeup is minimal and to the point. Today is the day when she will be formally announced as the Blue moon packs Luna and as Carter Black's mate. Today is the day when she is going to exchange vows with Carter. Her mind wandered back to the day when she was brought here as a captive. So much has happened since that day. David troubled them to the point where everyone celebrated after he died. David couldn't survive more than a day with the wolf's bane darts embedded inside his body. He experienced every pain he inflicted upon others. No one actually felt bad for him. "You ready
By the time Carter and Daniel reached the cave, they found it empty. But Riley's scent is still strong, indicating that she was here until a few minutes ago. "Where is she?" Carter asked anxiously. Her strong scent is like a salve to his aching bruised heart. It is making him relaxed and now he is sure that she is safe. Daniel is feeling guilty for causing so much grief for his daughter and her mate. "I am sorry. This is all my fault. I assumed you would as bad as your Father. So I gave her an ultimatum to choose between us. I think she must have gone back to the Blue moon pack. Looks like she chose you" he confessed. Carter looked at his father-in-law with a sad smile. He cannot fault him for assuming the worst about him. He lost his wife, all thanks to David. "It doesn't matter. I know you are trying to look out for Riley. I am happy that she got you back. She missed you a lot when she thought you are no more. I promise to cherish your daughter for as long as I live" he promis
'She would lose her life alone in the forest 'David's taunting words made Carter depressed and angry at everyone. He doesn't know where Riley is and based on what David said, he injured her deeply to the point that she lost a lot of blood. He witnessed her blood in the forest. He know she must be feeling weak even though she could heal. But David is making it look like that Riley is at the edge of losing her life. Carter is depressed and slipped into the back of his mind, willingly giving up his control to his wolf. He doesn't want to face the reality. He doesn't want to live in a world where there is no Riley. He is buried under the burden of his regrets.'If only I could have protected more carefully. If only I could have killed David soon, then I could have had a chance to play with my pups and live happily with my Riley' he thought with anguish and guilt.Ajax saw Carter losing control over his beast. "Alpha, don't listen to him. Don't forget that we can still feel our Luna. Sh
Carter followed after David's scent and reached the Crescent moon pack. Ajax could sense David's presence near the Crescent moon pack. David's scent is still strong, making them believe that he is still inside the pack.'Warriors, we found David in the Crescent moon pack. Come here and surround the pack ' Ajax called his warriors through the pack link. Carter and his wolf on the other hand have only one thing on their mind.'Find Riley. David knows where they are, so if we confront him, we can locate our mate ' His mind kept repeating the same thing, and his wolf agrees with the man. As one, they are now dead set to hunt David to save their mate. David walked out of the pack house wearing nothing. He cranked his neck and flexed his throbbing fists. But froze when he came face to face with his son.Carter's wolf growled with anger when he caught sight of David. His wolf did not waste any time or gave him any opportunities to David so that he could escape. He lunged at David and claw
Carter sniffed the air around the area where Ronan was killed. He let his senses direct him. Just like he expected, he caught a faint scent of David. "I know it. He is waiting and watching us. He must have come to see how miserable I am without my mate. He shouldn't have touched her. Now he has to face the consequences" Carter sneered angrily. Ajax is closely observing his Alpha. He is worried about how feral and unhinged Carter is turning into. His beast is taking over, pushing the man behind. If his wolf takes over completely, he will lose all sense of logic and would turn into a rogue. 'Oh, dear goddess, Carter seems to love Riley too much. Their mating bond will already pull them closer but looks like their love is stronger than their mating bond. If we could not locate Riley soon, we will lose him to his wolf. I might never be able to come out of my grief if my bond with my gifted mate is this strong ' he thought. Carter followed after David's scent, which is still fresh and
In the Blue moon pack, Carter and his warriors along with the warriors from James' pack and Christian's pack were ready to hunt David. "All of you divide into four groups and go in four different directions. First, begin your search for the Blue moon pack perimeters. I am sure you can find some useful leads to move forward in the right direction. Don't stop until you find him or unless I tell you to. Now go and find your Luna" Carter addressed sharply.He did not wait for anyone. He shifted into his wolf form and ran in the direction of the pack perimeter, specifically toward the area where David killed Ronan. He knows David must have left some clues which be useful to find David.Ajax, James, Christian, and Justin looked at Carter worriedly."Justin, you lead a section of our warriors. I will go with the Alpha. We should not leave him alone when he is like this" Ajax instructed Justin and raced after Carter. A few of their warriors joined Ajax to help their Alpha.In the Cave, slowl
In the Blue moon pack, Carter is in a very bad mood and he is enraged. He couldn't trace his mate and failed to connect with her through the pack link and she is not even responding to their mating bond. But he can sense that she is still alive."I think David has done something to make her lose her conscience. That's the only reason I could think of why our Luna stopped responding to us. If we find David, then I am sure we can find her as well" Ajax shared his opinion.Carter is fuming. His worry for his mate and their unborn child is adding fuel to his anger, which is scaring everyone in the pack. Alpha James and Alpha Christine heard about what happened. They too volunteered to help Carter to find his mate. Even though both of them are the Alpha of their respective packs, Carter's anger is scaring them as well.An Alpha who is powerful is someone they should respect and with whom they should tread carefully. But if the same Alpha is enraged, then everyone will be scared. That is wh
David pulled the Wolfsbane dart out of his body. As Daniel is beyond weak, he couldn't pierce the dart deeper inside Davids's body. But just a shallow scratch from the dart froze David for more than ten minutes. After he removed the dart, he howled with anger. Daniel and Riley who are trying to run away from David froze with shock. "Dad, it's David. Looks like he is angry. He is going to come after us. We have to run faster" Riley urged her dad. But Daniel is weak and he knows that he cannot outrun David, even though they had a ten minutes head start. "Riley, I cannot run. I will slow you down as well. You run and save your life. I will try to stop him" he negotiated, feeling tired. Riley looked at the forest around them feeling helpless. "No dad, I cannot leave you here. I thought I lost you too. But the goddess has given me another chance. Leaving you here is impossible. I cannot lose you when I just got you back. Let's run. We might find some help" she urged him. Daniel and
Riley followed the location pin she received from Ronan's mobile. She frowned when she realized that she is closer to the Crescent moon pack, but still far away from the pack territory."This place is not used by anyone. Why did Ronan come here in the first place?" she began to suspect.As she moved farther into the woods, her suspicion began to grow stronger. She stopped half a mile away from the place where the pin is located on the maps."What am i doing? Coming like this without telling anyone is not safe. Especially now that i am carrying our pup. I cannot risk the life of the baby like this" she thought and decided to turn back. But she couldn't abandon her father."What if my father is truly alive? What if something happens to him if i don't go there now?" she became conflicted. The life she is carrying inside her womb and the man who raised her are like two corners that are pulling her in two different directions."What should i do now?" she thought with confusion.She looked
