Carter, David and the others gathered near the fighting grounds which is situated in the middle of the pack. The fighting grounds are nothing but a big clearing in the middle of the otherwise lush green area which it is surrounded with. Every wolf pack is situated in the middle of the greenery so that they could let their beasts loose and run into the wilderness. The Blue moon pack is no different either. The pack is surrounded by thick trees and far away from the human settlements. The packhouse is situated half a mile away from the fighting grounds. The fighting grounds are where the usual training of the warriors and the punishments for the offended would be taking place.All the other homes of the pack mates are sparsely scattered within the pack territory. Werewolves prefer to live within a pack, but they do seek privacy. No two homes are closely situated to each other. It would take at least a few minutes to reach the nearby home of the other pack mates. The Blue Moon pack is
Alpha Patrick of the Crescent moon pack, is scanning his surroundings for Riley. She originally belongs to the Crescent moon pack, from where Alpha David kidnapped her. When Patrick's eyes landed on his former pack mate, he slipped away from the group of the Alpha's with whom he was chatting and followed behind her. After a few minutes, Riley stopped walking. She knew Alpha Patrick is following behind her. So she led him into a section of the area where they can talk without being disturbed or overheard by anyone.She turned to face her Alpha, who is smirking as if he won a lottery."Greetings Alpha" she greeted him politely, but she didn't like his body language and the stupid smirk on his face. He let her suffer for a week and now he decided to come when he found out about the dual and possible shift of power.Patrick nodded at her, responding to her greeting."I never thought you are so talented Riley" he murmurred with a hidden meaning to his words, which made Riley suspicious of
When he thought she is never going to stop, he caught her both hands and pulled her into his arms. He wrapped his arms tightly around her so that she would stop struggling. Unconsciously he is hugging her, which he didn't realise until after he did.Riley wanted to pull herself free from his hold and beat him up some more. But his hold is stronger and he is holding her tightly so that she couldn't wiggle out of his hold. Her wolf is happy to stay in her mate's arms, but Riley is not so much."Let me go asshole" she demanded angrily.Carter sighed."I will if you promise to stop hitting me" he replied calmly. He can take punches from a more strong warrior than Riley. But he is worried that she might hurt herself. He is already guilty of ruining her life. He doesn't want her to physically injure herself as well. And moreover, she is his mate. Their bond will always pull them closer and will not let the other to stay quiet when one of them is hurt or sad.Riley snorted sarcastically at
"You can never make me bite you asshole" she challenged him.He can never make her bite him and taste his blood to finish the process of making her one of his pack members.Carter was initially planning to bite his wrist and force feed her his blood so that the process could be completed. But her challenge made him change his mind."Oh my dear darling, you should learn a few rules of our pack. The first rule of our pack is that you should never challenge your Alpha. If you do, then you will never like the consequences. Now you made the mistake of challenging me. Now you see how I will make you bite me" he said with a wolfish grin.Carter is intentionally bullying her. The more she hates him, the better for him. He can feel the tingling sensation over his skin where their bodies are touching. His wolf wanted to give in and claim Riley as his mate. But Carter knows better. A mate is a weakness and a distraction that he doesn't need at this moment, or ever. Riley is confused if she want
After Carter finished making Riley one of his pack members, he walked into the training fields with a blank mask. Nathan, Ronan, and the others have been waiting for him for almost ten minutes. David is losing his shit as he feels beneath him to wait for a nobody like Carter."Here he comes. I thought he must have run away with fright" David sneered at his son.Carter ignored his father and approached his uncle, who is looking at him intently."Where have you been? You left a few minutes earlier than all of us. Then what took you so long?" Nathan asked with a worried frown. Before Carter could reply, the strong feminine scent coming from his nephew answered all of his queries."You went to meet Riley? What is wrong with you? A couple of days ago you couldn't wait to get rid of her. But now, you couldn't wait to see her? Are you alright? I feel like you are losing focus on your goals" Nathan pointed out with displeasure.Carter doesn't have the habit of explaining his actions to anyone
Both the men stood facing each other. The Alphas, Betas and other wolves from other packs are quiet and are waiting to see who would win the dual. Riley silently walked and stood beside Sophie near the corner where all the wolves from the Blue moon pack are standing. The death of her mother and everything David did to sabotage the pack's reputation is playing in Carter's mind.David is thinking about the video and how his reputation is sabotaged by Nathan. He wanted to kill Nathan after killing Carter. Then he wanted to punish Riley for becoming the reason why he was forced to strip in the first place. Two men who share the same blood and the same last name. But both are worlds apart. One wants justice for what he has gone through and the other wants revenge because a woman dared to insult him and made him look like an idiot.David's gaze landed on Riley, who is trying to blend into the shadows of the tree under which she is standing. When she noticed David's eyes on her, she hid be
Nathan ignored Riley and is looking at David who is running away. "Carter, stop him. He is running away" he told his nephew. Everyone is shocked to see David who is the most feared Alpha in the world running away with fear. David made grown men shiver with fear. He led the Blue moon pack to victory countless times against other packs which are stronger than them. His name would leave a note of fear with anyone. A man who earned a reputation like that is now running away from his son in the middle of a dual to save his life. So now all the fear and respect the other packs used to hold for David are shifted to his son Carter Black. If Carter could defeat a strong Alpha like his father, then he can defeat anyone. That's the conclusion they all came to. Ronan and the other warriors wished that Carter should win the dual. They thought this would be a tough fight. Based on David's experience, they were not very sure if Carter would win or not. But never did they imagine that David w
Riley is healed completely after a few minutes. She is now standing with the other pack members, awaiting for the final results of the incomplete dual. No one was predicting David would run away like this. So they haven't thought about an alternative. But now, Carter invited the other Alpha's who came to witness the Dual to ask for their opinion about the same.Nathan on the other hand is not happy with his nephew's behaviour. He didn't know why Carter is bothered about that girl so much. Nathan is even angrier when he found out that Carter has taken her as one of the members of his pack, which has only 25 members. Carter trusts every single one of the twenty-five members. They all are men except Riley, who is their twenty-sixth member. Carter has other followers, but they all belong to the Blue Moon pack, along with Nathan. Only these twenty-five and Nathan knows about every move Carter makes. So Nathan is baffled when he found out Riley is now one of the members of Carter's close c
