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
"Why?" She whispered with shock. She is unable to understand why he is doing all of this and for what purpose. Killing these many innocent women is uncalled for, and none of them deserves such a fate.Carter wiped the tears that rolled down her cheeks."This is the reason why I don't want to tell you about this. I know it will sadden you to hear about this" he reasoned.He is right. She is feeling really sad about all of this. But she has to know how cruel this man is. She needs to strengthen her will about why people like this should be killed and should never be given another chance. She should know what kind of monster is after her and for what reason."I want to know" she insisted.Carter began to share the details reluctantly. Whoever this man is, he has been stalking you for more than one year now. He started watching you when you were still a member of the Crescent moon pack. He began to pick women who resemble you in some ways and he used to torture them before killing them.
"I want them to relax and keep their guard down. I want to mislead them into thinking that we are suspecting someone else" Carter revealed in front of his Beta, whom he trusts a lot.Ajax is shocked by the revelation."I am not understanding this. How can you be so sure that it's not Alpha Timothy or Alpha Patrick? The Blood rose pack Alpha openly confessed his interest towards our Luna. The Crescent moon pack Alpha hates her because she refused to backstab us and help him. They have every reason to do this. Then why are you not suspecting them?" he asked reasonably.Carter opened his photo gallery on his phone and opened up the images which Nathan clicked the previous night. "Take a closer look at these pictures. Look at the far left corner, in the bushes" Carter zoomed the picture and showed what he wants Ajax to see.Ajax squinted his eyes to clearly see the man hiding there. The pictures are not clear and it was dark. So he struggled to identify the man hiding there. He is taken
In the Blue moon pack Alpha's office, Joshua, Christian, James and Timothy are sitting in front of a huge oak table while they are waiting for their host to arrive.Timothy is sitting on the far corner, as far as possible from Alpha Joshua. He wanted to miss this meeting, but he couldn't afford to garner all the unwanted attention towards him. He doesn't have a valid reason why he doesn't want to sit in the same room where he knows Alpha Joshua would be. Timothy can neither disclose what he saw the previous night nor even if he did share his traumatic experience with Alpha Carter, he cannot prove anything.So he is in a pickle here. He is scared out of his mind to breathe the same air as a murderer and a criminal, but he is forced to keep quiet and pretend as if everything is alright."That's how Alpha Carter found that hidden tree house and those bodies. We disposed of them all, but the stench of death refused to leave that place. That place haunted me in my dreams last night" Alpha
"As Alpha Joshua was not there yesterday, let's start this meeting by giving him a brief description of what we found" Carter began, but Alpha Christian chimed in. "I already told him everything just before you came. Now he knows everything" he revealed, making Carter take a casual glance at the Nightwalker pack Alpha. Alpha Joshua is calm and composed on contrary to the other Alpha's who were deeply disturbed by so many deaths. 'Strange, why is he so calm? Even I had a hard time digesting what I saw last night. But he is behaving as if it's a regular occurrence ' he wondered, but kept his opinion to himself. "That's good then. We can save some time. Now as we have all covered the basic issue we all are facing, we should also find a way to catch this criminal" Carter proposed formally, which is already agreed between James, Christian and Carter. The Prospect pack Alpha and the Shadow pack Alpha nodded their agreement, while Alpha Timothy took a quick fearful glance at Joshua, wh
Joshua left the Blue moon pack in a foul mood. He is angry after finding out that Riley is Carter's mate. He was under the belief that Riley is just Carter's war prize and he would lose his interest in her soon. He assumed distancing Riley from Carter would be easy. But now it's highly impossible to take Riley away from Carter, as she is his mate."How did I miss this? How did he miss this? Didn't he know that Riley is Carter's mate? But how can it be?" he wondered out loud.He didn't notice a couple of wolves following after him. As they are following him in their wolf form and running parallel to his car along the forest line, he didn't concentrate on the wolves. He is fuming over the truth he just found out. That is annoying him a lot. That was the last thing he expected.Joshua turned in the opposite direction to the Nightwalker pack, which the Blue moon pack wolves noticed. But as per the instructions they received, they followed the Alpha as quietly as they can.Joshua quickly t
David is looking at the two dead-shifted warriors with satisfaction. A month ago these two warriors used to work for him, now they are working against him."You said three warriors came following Joshua. Where is the other body?" he asked his human assistant, who is a skinny guy wearing large thick round glasses which are bigger than his face. His name is Samuel. He is the person who handles the wolfsbane as David cannot do that and so does Joshua.Samuel adjusted his glasses before replying."He escaped. Our men have gone after him. He is badly injured. I am sure he wouldn't have gone far. He will be caught soon" he replied confidently.David nodded with approval. Sometimes he feels like his assistant is much more capable than the Nightwalker pack Alpha who didn't even realise that he was being followed by Carter's men."Looks like Alpha Carter is beginning to suspect Alpha Joshua" Samuel pointed out.David knows that Joshua is a loose end which needs to be closed soon."He is use le
Carter, Ajax and a few Blue moon pack warriors are running in the direction of the human city based on the information given by their warriors who were assigned to follow Joshua. After one hour, when they came a little closer to their destination, Carter's wolf stopped suddenly and began to sniff the air.'What is it Alpha? Did you catch something? ' Ajax asked while coming to his Alpha's side.'Blood mixed with that metallic scent. Can't you smell it?' Carter asked Ajax's wolf.Ajax and all the warriors began to sniff the air. They couldn't sense anything. 'My apologies Alpha, but I can smell only the wood and the sand. Nothing else' Ajax replied to which the others agreed to.But Carter can sense it. This scent is faint, but it is there. 'You stay here. I will go and check if there is something. We have been running for a while now. Our wolves need to rest for a few minutes. Wait here ' he instructed his Beta and followed his nose.Ajax is not willing to let his Alpha go alone in
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
