As soon as Nathan's car disappeared from his sight, Carter shifted into his wolf form. Alpha James understood Carter's intention."Alpha Carter, going after him alone is not a good idea" he warned.Carter's mind linked with James."I have this strong urge to go and check for him in the direction from where he escaped. I feel like we might find something" he explained.But James saw the stalker's cruelty with his own eyes. Despite his fear, he couldn't allow Carter to go alone."Then let me come along. He doesn't look sane. He is mentally unstable. He will not hesitate to hurt you" he requested.Carter is not scared to go alone. He saw his father closely, and he always believes that no one is more dangerous than his father, not even this stalker."I am not scared, Alpha James. But if you want to accompany me, then I can use another pair of eyes to scan my surroundings" Carter agreed.James shifted into his dirty brown-coloured wolf. He is a little smaller and a little leaner than Carte
While Carter and James try to find a way to climb the tree to reach the reach the tree house in vain, they sensed that their Warriors are close."Good, they are coming" Carter murmurred.He found some tree roots which they are joining to one another to make a rope. When they are satisfied with the length, they used a strong and small wooden block and tied it to one end. The wooden block is strong enough to serve its purpose and small enough to be easily thrown up. Carter aimed the makeshift rope towards the tree house and threw it with all his might. The wooden block got stuck onto a branch close to the tree house."Alpha James, you wait here. I will go up and see what is up there" Carter said.But James began to get panicked."Alpha Carter, what are you doing? He will not hesitate to kill you if you go alone. Our warriors are close by. Let's wait for them to reach here" he urged the young Alpha.Carter is taken aback by the sincere concern the other Alpha is showing towards him. He g
Ten minutes after Carter disappeared by the rope, the Blue moon warriors, along with the prospect pack and Shadow pack Warriors along with their Alpha came to the spot with the help of their Alpha's scent. But upon reaching the spot, they didn't find anyone and the scent of their Alpha ended there. "Warriors" they heard Alpha James calling from above their heads. Everyone shifted to their human forms and noticed him standing on something. "Alpha James? What are you doing there?" the Shadow pack Alpha asked James. He is more than a decade younger than the Prospect pack Alpha. "Alpha Christian? I could as you the same question" James fired back good-natured, trying to suppress his uneasiness and his anxiety over Carter who is yet to come back. Christian noticed how tensed the other Alpha is. "Alright, I am coming up there" he announced and found the rope ladder easily. But what the Shadow pack Alpha was not expecting to see is the badly mangled human body. He wretched a couple of t
"I am sorry Alpha Christian. At this moment I couldn't help but suspect everyone" he explained.Christian relaxed and stood up from the stinking ground and dusted himself off. He is not offended. If he would have been in the other man's shoes, he would have lost his shit. But on the contrary, Carter is sharp and agile. He is still able to rationalise the situation and the people involved, without killing everyone he is forced to suspect."It's alright Alpha Carter. I can understand. But what about this? This is something we should involve the shifter council into, don't you think?" he suggested.Carter sighed and rubbed his tired eyes. He already thought about that. The shifter council is nothing but the Alphas of all the shifter packs in the world. They usually deal with the problems of Shifters in common."They wouldn't want to get involved in this" Carter pointed out what he analysed already.Christian frowned."Why is that?" he asked curiously.Carter pointed behind him, at the pi
In the Blood rose pack, Alpha Timothy came to the pack house hastily. His pack mates greeted him, which he ignored. He went straight into his room and locked the door after him. He went straight inside the bathroom and opened the shower and stood under the hot spray. He is breathing hard as if he has seen a ghost. In fact, he saw something more than just a ghost. He saw a murderer and also the person who was murdered. His whole frame is shaking with fear. He was on his way to his pack from the Crescent moon pack when his jeep stopped suddenly. He cursed his stupid decision to use the shortcut rather than the normal road which everyone uses. He couldn't find out what was wrong with his jeep and he wouldn't find anyone nearby to help him either. Unable to do anything else, he shifted and began to run to the nearby pack, which happens to be the Shadow pack. Timothy has a good relationship with Alpha Christian, so he is sure the good Alpha would help him with his jeep. But before he cou
In the middle of the woods where the three Alpha's found the dead bodies, all the three pack warriors helped each other and buried the bodies and cleaned the area. They burned the tree house down where the stalker killed countless women. Carter, James and Christian returned back from that haunting sight to their respective packs with their pack warriors. They decided to meet the next day in the Blue Moon pack to discuss this as it was already late. Riley and Nathan couldn't go back because Carter strictly prohibited Riley from coming back. So she had to go back to the Blue moon pack reluctantly. She couldn't go against Carter's words as she is the reason why he is having another sleepless night. But she couldn't sit still even after a shower and change of clothes. She is anxious about what is going on back there. Most of the Blue Moon pack warriors including Justin are gone. They all are called by their Alpha for something important, which Carter refused to share with her. "Will y
"Carter" she whispered when she felt his presence beside her.He didn't respond, but she knows that he is there. She moved her lips closer to his fingers, seeking his attention. He complied with her unasked demand and began to caress her face softly. She turned to face him and wrapped her arm around his torso. Slowly she moved her palm up and down, caressing his hot body. She is used to him sleeping without his shirt, but she was not expecting that he is naked. So when her little finger accidentally grazed his naked butt cheek, her eyes snapped open and she retreated her palm shyly. He is looking at her intently. His gaze filled with hunger. He place his palm over hers and gently guided her back towards his butt. Without giving any warning, he attacked her lips with his. His kiss is not gentle and sweet like it usually was. This is possessive and dominating. She felt as if he is trying to eat her as a whole.Before she could come up for air, he tore the clothes off her body, and she
The next morning Riley woke up naked and clean. She noticed that she is clean and understood that he must have cleaned her after she passed out from coming for too many times. She lost count of how many times she came. She noticed that Carter was in a typical mood last night and he behaved as if he wanted to stay inside her always, which she didn't mind. This is the first time he is showing his possessive side, which made her a little worried about what must have happened last night. "Yes, I will come. Keep me updated" she heard his voice from the living area and is a little surprised. Usually, he would have gone to work by now. But surprisingly he is still in the quarters even though it's late now. Riley sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes. She looked around and picked up her clothes from last night and quickly got dressed. She winced when she felt the soreness between her legs a little uncomfortable. She padded to the living area and looked at Carter who has an open file in front o
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
