Naomi is scared. The look of maniacal anger in Joshua's eyes is making her shiver with fear. The photo albums that she is currently holding in her hands is the proof of how cruel he is. She doesn't want to end up as one among them."You saw everything?" Joshua asked his Beta, whom he never thought of killing. He never guessed that he might have to kill her at all. But she did something which he specifically told everyone not to."You. Why?" She asked him and tried to buy some time to escape from there.Joshua laughed. He understood what she is asking. He never likes to talk when there is a woman in front of him when he can do some pleasurable things with her. But Naomi doesn't excite him like that. "Just like how you love certain things, I love torturing and killing women, Mostly helpless women who are bound to a chair or my bed" he confessed.Naomi gasped with shock at his audacious admission."You are a monster" she whispered with fear, terror and confusion. Joshua laughed at her
Alpha Christian and Alpha James are shocked. Christian personally knows Joshua and he never felt like a killer is hidden inside. Even James never thought that a fellow Alpha who is sworn to protect his people would be the killer."Alpha Carter? Are you sure?" Christian asked, still reeling with shock.Carter can understand why Christian is shocked. Joshua is like a friend to Christian. Joshua visited the Shadow pack quite often."After Alpha Joshua left...." he explained how made his warriors follow Joshua and how two of them ended up dead."They sent these humans to kill the other warrior" he revealed everything which made him believe that Joshua is the killer.Ajax showed the pictures Nathan clicked while he was killing Chelsea. They zoomed on Alpha Timothy who was watching everything with terror. Later Carter Zoomed on a picture where the killer was raising his hand with which he was holding a knife. His sleeve slipped down revealing a small portion of his tattoo."Can you see that
Riley did not touch the Album Naomi gave. It is still lying near Carter's feet. Even Oscar hesitated a little to handle it. He doesn't know what he has to see once he opens it. But as a cop, he doesn't have the luxury of ignoring potential proof of the crime. So he took a step towards the Album, but Alpha Christian beat him to it. Christian picked up the Album and opened it. His hands shook when he saw the content inside. The last page of the Album is a picture of his mate, which is snapped when she is sleeping. Christian is fuming with anger. "He secretly snapped my mate's pictures? How dare he?" he roared. Carter approached Christian and looked at the contents of the Album, which are very disturbing. "I think it would be better if you go back to your pack. Your mate is to be protected now. He is unhinged and if i guessed correctly, he knows that his Beta found out his secret. So he will either hurry up his plan or will go into hiding. If he chooses the first option, then his mat
In the Blue moon pack, Carter is staring at the ceiling while Riley is sleeping beside him. She was awake for most of the night along with him, and she managed to sleep just a couple of hours ago. The sun is just rising in the east and its soft glow is peeking inside their room from the window from in between the curtains. Carter didn't sleep a wink last night. He is feeling restless and an unsettling feeling in his gut is making him feel anxious. Sheriff Oscar informed him that Alpha Joshua escaped and the Nightwalker pack is under their control now. Carter can guess what Joshua must be doing now. 'He will be planning to take our mate away from us' his wolf voiced out exactly what he is thinking. 'I know. We need to be very careful until Joshua is caught' Carter said. His wolf agreed with him. 'These humans cannot get a hold of him. He is a slippery earthworm. We need to help them to speed up the process' his wolf pointed out. 'You are right. But how can we leave Riley alone a
"Carter please listen to me" Riley is trying to persuade Carter to let her help. But Carter is not even willing to listen to her. James is not in a position to persuade Carter to risk his mate's life. If he was in Carter's place then even he wouldn't have risked his mate's life for anything. But Christian on the other hand is desperate. His mate's life is hanging in the middle and Joshua is a maniac. He can do anything at any time. "Alpha Carter, please" he begged. Carter glared at Christian. "I will help you to find your mate. But i cannot risk Riley's life for anyone or anything" he said firmly. Riley is frustrated. "I am not saying that my life would be at risk. You will all be hidden around there. How can he hurt me when you would be hiding a few feet away from me?" she tried to reason with him. Riley wanted to become the prey to lure Joshua out of his hiding. Alpha Christian would take her to the place where he last saw Joshua and where Joshua asked him to bring her. Carte
In the old rundown building near the human town, David ignored Joshua's call again, which confused his assistant. "Boss, may i know why are you not answering his calls?" Samuel asked David. David is angry over Joshua. "I gave him a good plan against Carter. But just like always he messed up again. Who would maintain an album filled with pictures of dead women whom he killed? Not only did he keep that album in his bathroom, he also let his Beta find it easily. She gave the Album to the human authorities and now instead of Carter, this idiot is stuck. It's useless to attend his calls. I know what he wants. He is better off dead than alive. He proved useless for us" he muttered angrily. Samuel understood that Joshua messed up again, which is not unusual. Joshua only wants women and he cannot do anything properly. His attention is always focused on how to torture women rather than on how to implement the given plan correctly. "I understand," he said politely. David is beginning to f
Carter, Christian, and James came to the place where Christian last saw Joshua. "This is the place where i fainted and where Alpha Joshua gave an ultimatum about bringing Luna Riley if i want my mate" Christian confessed.Carter looked around the place keenly. He is searching for anything that would hint at him where Joshua could be hiding."He is not alone. Luna Natalie is with him. So he would be here somewhere close by. He wanted to keep an eye on you, so i am sure he wouldn't be far. Let's split and search in the other three directions. If anyone of you finds anything, let the others know. Mostly try smelling for that metallic smell which is always associated with him" Carter instructed.The three Alphas went in different directions with their respective warriors. Carter is trying to sense the metallic smell that Joshua uses to hide his scent. What none of them realized is that Joshua is standing on a tree over their heads and he is glaring at Christian with anger.'Instead of m
In the woods near the Shadow pack, Carter found the small tent, which is so out of place in the otherwise serene surroundings. The tent is in a combination of green and brown, the colors meant to blend in to its surroundings. The place where the tent is arranged is such that, the surrounding bushes cover the most of the tent and it can be easily over looked. Carter's gaze caught the sight of that tent only because he can smell metallic scent smell from there."Alpha Christian, i found your mate" Carter informed Chritian by dialing to his mobile.Ajax is with Carter, while Ronan and Justin are left behind in the pack for Riley's security."Alpha, i don't think it's safe to go there alone. Let the others come" Ajax cautioned.Carter shook his head. "Luna Natali is with that lunatic far more than she should. We should hurry now. If he realises that we found him, he will not hesitate to kill her. So delaying will only lead to him hurting the shadow pack Luna" he pointed out.When Carter
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
