After the initial shock Justin received, he belatedly understood that Carter and Riley are making fun of him. He never saw Carter in a jovial mood like this. He was always serious and work bound. So when he considered Riley's suggestion, he thought his Alpha is being serious. "You scared me" he accused Riley, who made a funny face at him.Carter is happy to see Riley smiling. Recently she was under a lot of trauma which impacted her emotionally. He was beginning to get worried about her. Now he has to find out the man who is stalking her and they can all rest peacefully. "You deserve it" Carter murmurred. Justin sighed With defeat."Your mate is playing with me. This is not fair" he complained pettulantly, being funny.Carter winked at Riley, who grinned at him."Deal with it. She is your Luna. Now tell me what you found out about that woman locked up in the room" he asked about Chelsea.Justin became serious again. All the fun is gone and is replaced with business. "Her name is C
Alpha James is an elderly man who is in his late fifties. Despite his age, he is fit. He is tall and his clean-shaven face has wrinkles and laugh lines around his mouth and near the edges of his eyes. He is a jovial man, but he can get scary when he needs to be. He has a teenage daughter, who is going to inherit the Alpha title after him. His pack is strong, but he needs funds to run the pack. Thats where he sought out Carter's help and requested for jobs to his pack members who are educated and capable. "Alpha Carter requested for your presence in the Blue moon pack" a messenger from the Blue moon pack relayed the message given to him by the pack gamma Justin.James frowned. They agreed regarding his issue and Carter employed more than half of the prospect pack warriors in his mall and security firm. Their usual meeting is scheduled for next week, I'm which they would discuss about mutual pack benefits and improvements. So this sudden invitation made James a little confused. "May I
Carter is looking at Alpha James sceptically. After he found out that one of the pack mates from the prospect pack was in contact with Riley's stalker, Carter couldn't help but doubt James as well."Alpha Carter, it's always good to see you. But may I know why I have been called here?" James asked politely. Carter is blunt and intimidating. Even though he is the youngest Alpha among them all, he is also the most intimidating, strong and rich man among them. He has different ideas and can create various opportunities for the shifters, who are struggling to get employment in human companies. So even James is a little unnerved to see how Carter is looking at him with doubt.Instead of answering the other Alpha's question, Carter looked at Justin, who is standing near the door with his legs wide and arms folded behind his back."Go and bring her here" he instructed his Gamma. James is confused about whom Carter is talking about, but Justin knows whom he is supposed to bring here."Yes Al
James frowned when Carter mentioned that his mate's name is Riley. He heard that name before, but he couldn't remember where. "Riley, isn't it the name of your war prize? The woman whom Alpha David wanted to mate with? Is she your mate?" he asked with astonishment after searching his mind thoroughly. Carter eyed the Alpha, wondering why he is so interested. "She is" he confirmed. James clapped his palms once with excitement. "Now I understood why you included her as a prize in the Dual. All the other Alpha's were wondering the same thing. A few of them thought that you wanted to anger your father, but a few speculated that you fell for her. They will be blown to know the real reason" he said excitedly. Carter gave Justin a look, who is trying hard not to laugh. "Apparently, every Alpha is more interested in my life rather than their respective pack's" he muttered angrily. James shook his head to deny that remark. "Forgive me, Alpha Carter, I became a little excited. No, we wer
Riley woke up from her nap feeling groggy and well-rested. She sat up and stretched her body without opening her eyes. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her palms. She realised that she is in the Alpha quarters. She remembered how Carter ate her up in that case. She sagged against him after her release, content and tired from everything that happened that day. She doesn't remember how she came here, but she can guess who brought her here. A smile graced her face when she thought about Carter. He is not the asshole she thought he is. Just like Sophie said, he is nice. He gave her everything she need and more. He is protective, considerate and a damn good lover. His sinful mouth and sexy body are enough to make her wet. "If you share the details behind that blush, I would be happy too" she heard her friend Sophie's voice, which startled her. Riley didn't notice that she has company, as she was preoccupied with the thoughts of Carter. Riley turned to look at Sophie who is standing
Riley picked up the scary note and the picture. She searched for anything else that her stalker might have left for her. But she found nothing. She packed everything carefully into boxes. She is simmering with anger.She is angry that her stalker tainted her memories of her parents with his mark. She is angry that he tainted the house where she lived with her parents and where she has so many sweet memories of them by stepping foot inside it. 'Whoever you are, you have done enough to scare me. You changed my life so much that now I cannot go back. I refused to let you hold control of my life anymore. This has to end ' she decided strongly. She is scared of the thought of him, but she cannot let him pull her down further. Sophie is confused and really worried when Riley began to mechanically pack her belongings. She is not showing any outward emotions, which is bothering her."Hey, are you alright?" She asked Riley.Riley paused and took a deep breath before replying."Don't worry, I
Riley parked her car in front of the Packhouse of her old pack. She can imagine how Patrick is going to receive her. He is not going to be very pleased to see her here. But she needs answers, and she doubts that he might have a clue about what is going on in her life. No one can enter inside his pack without his notice. Either that or her stalker might be someone from this pack. She is determined to find out the truth.Just when she was about to enter the pack house, Alpha Timothy was excited. When Riley saw him, an uneasy feeling settled over her. She remembered that he is the person who asked Carter to give her after the dual. Everyone thought that it was a joke, but she knows it was not. She has known who he is for a few years now. But he never gave her a reason to feel unsafe when he is around. But when he asked Carter for her as if she is not a living being but a toy to be shared among men, she couldn't help but detest him."Ahh. What a surprise. Riley, it's really good to see yo
'We cannot live in this pack and away from our Mate ' her wolf reminded her.Yes, living in the Crescent moon pack is no longer an option. Not only because Alpha Patrick doesn't want them here, but also because she began to love the Blue moon pack, bit by bit. She never had noteworthy friends while living here, she only had acquaintances. But in the Blue moon pack, she has Sophie and Justin.'And Carter ' her wolf chimed in."And Carter" she whispered out loud. But Carter is not exactly a friend. Friends don't do things which they do. He is something else, which she is yet to give a name for. She sighed and walked towards her old room. Unlike the familiar scent she was bombarded with when she entered the house, the scent inside her room made her dizzy and scared. Her nostrils burned with the same metallic scent that has been haunting her for a few weeks now. She froze at the threshold of her room, unable to take a step forward.'He was here, and that too recently. But how? This hous
