"He is mine" After Chelsea's false declaration that Carter is her mate, Riley became angry. Her possessiveness scared even Chelsea. Carter smirked with satisfaction. Wolf's are possessive beings. Despite the differences between mates, they will never let anyone enter between them."You were saying?" Carter asked Chelsea to repeat her previous sentence again.But now she is a bit scared. Riley's wolf is on the forefront of her mind, glaring at Chelsea.Chelsea is also the pack warrior, but she is not as skilled as Riley. The Blue moon pack's Luna is a skilled and well-trained warrior. She is even better than a few Alpha's. Now the maids, guards, Sophie and Lisa are in a state of confusion. Their wolves identified Riley as someone important. So they are now a little confused about the whole situation. "I. I said" Chelsea stuttered.She was not expecting this. Riley should have left feeling embarrassed after being insulted the way she did. But instead of that, she is standing up for h
Sophie returned to the kitchen and began to clean the utensils. She is so sad and her heart is heavy with pain. She thought Riley would tell everything to her, but her friend hid the most important thing of her life.'Doesn't she trust me? I opened up to her about everything. But she has secrets which she cannot share with me. I thought I am finally blessed with a good friend after all these years of abuse from the kids around me. But looks like I thought wrong. She never considered me as her true friend. I was never enough for her. Is it because I am an omega? Is my rank that important for friendship? She cared about me and protected me more times than I count. I thought she was doing all that because I am her friend. But no, she pities me. That's why she was helping me ' Sophie thought sadly.She heard approaching footsteps. She doesn't have to turn around to see who it is. Sophie plastered a polite smile and turned to face their new Luna."Do you need anything Luna?" She asked feel
Riley shifted and ran into the forest. Her emotions are a mess. She is feeling so lonely that she doesn't have anyone to share her burden with. She became a burden to Carter. The fact which is making her feel guilty. She ran until her lungs are burning with a lack of oxygen and her legs are aching with strain. She shifted and collapsed in the middle of the woods, surrounded by thick branches and tall trees. She is close to the pack perimeter. This is the first time she ventured this far alone after her recent run-in with her stalker. But she is not scared. She doesn't have enough space in her mind and heart to fear anything. She is feeling dejected. "Mom, I miss you" she whispered sadly, remembering their happy times together. She remembered how she used to share everything with her mother while growing up and how her mother used to give good suggestions without judging her. Her father is the rock who made sure that she is well trained. Training a girl is never taken seriously
'It's easy to like you, and i don't want to ' he confessed. Anyone would be flattered by what he just confessed. So did Riley. She was under the impression that he disliked her but marked her as his mate out of pity. But his confession made her feel a little better. Some of the burdens she has been carrying have been removed from her heart by his words. "Oh.." she said lamely. Carter chuckled. "I never spoke so many words in one breath in my entire life. But today i confessed my secrets to you, and all you have to say is ' Oh?" he teased her. Riley smiled at his words. "I don't know what to say to this" she confessed truthfully. Carter couldn't help but admire her honesty. She is not giving him empty words or talking trash just because she has to. "It's alright. You stopped crying. It is enough for now" he gave her a way out. Their relationship is not romantic by any means. They quarreled, they blamed each other and they even confessed that they will not acknowledge their bo
Riley is sleeping. Carter carried her back to their quarters and gently laid her down on the bed. He covered her with a blanket, as she only wore his shirt. After picking up another shirt, before leaving the quarters and went straight into the alpha's office, which belongs to him now. By the time he reached, Ajax and Justin are already waiting for him there."Good evening Alpha" they greeted Carter.Carter sat behind his desk and motioned the other two to sit."Good evening, did you find anyone who could help us?" he came straight to the point.Ajax opened a black folder that he was carrying all along and pulled an A4-sized paper out of it before sliding the paper towards his Alpha."His name is Tim, he can help us" Ajax shared.Carter looked at the details of the teenager whom Ajax found to help them."He looks young, and he is a human. Can he help us?" Carter expressed his doubts.Ajax and Justin gathered the complete details of the kid. They were skeptical about the abilities of th
Riley is deep asleep when she felt like someone is trying to poke inside her head. She felt like someone is trying to enter her mind again. She pushed whoever was trying to force their way inside her head with everything she got and woke up feeling scared and suffocated. This is not the same kind of fear she experienced when her mind was under someone else's control. This is the fear which is worrying her that whoever it is might try to control her again. That is scary and she doesn't want to feel like an outsider inside her own head. "Hey, what happened?" Carter who is sleeping beside her woke up and asked when she sat up suddenly. He turned on the lights. When he saw how pale and tensed she is, he handed her a glass of water to drink, which she accepted gratefully. "Are you alright?" he asked again. She is coiled up tightly like a wire. She looked really tensed. Riley looked at Carter feeling scared. She is grateful that he is with her. "I just had this weird feeling that someo
Timothy is an 18-year-old teenager who just finished high school and is a computer genius. He got admission to one of the most prestigious colleges in the country. He is decode anything within minutes. He developed numerous apps to troubleshoot software problems when he was just 15 years old. He is quite well known in the software world.He is looking at the chip which is embedded in Riley's head and through which Carter suspects that she was controlled."This is a transmitter kind of thing which is mostly used in robots to give them instructions to perform any particular task. This will be embedded inside the robot's head and someone will have its remote. The robot would do anything the person with the remote commands it to do. Recently they developed a voice command technology through which the robots can be commanded through a registered voice. The remote is no longer needed. Where did you find this? This is not easily available in the market and is quite expensive. This technology
Riley stood up without touching her breakfast when a voice stopped her."There you are, i thought you must be still sleeping," Carter said and sat in the chair which is beside the one she just emptied.He looked at her still full plate and raised a questioning eyebrow. She just shrugged her shoulders in response."Looks like you are not hungry. But i am super hungry. Sit and chat with me while i eat my breakfast" he said before her plate in front of him.Riley sat back on her chair and looked at him quietly.Carter saw how sad and lonely Riley looked when she was sitting alone at the table. The maids who were supposed to attend her are whispering among themselves, which is not at all a whisper. Even he can hear what they were talking about. They were discussing how Riley dressed up, how unkept and wild her hair is and she is looking more like a man than a woman.Carter doesn't understand what their problem is, but it must be the nature of people to pinpoint every detail about others w
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
