It's been two weeks since that night. Riley recovered completely from her injuries. She resumed her training from a week ago and Ajax hired her as the pack Sentinel. She is given her duties within the pack. Helping the Alpha or the Beta if they need any assistance, pack perimeter security every alternative day along with a few other warriors. As she is in dire need of a job, she agreed.

After their talk, she never saw Carter again. Every night he comes to his quarters after she slept and leaves before she is awake. He is sleeping on the couch. She is missing him, but they both know it is for their own good.

"I have a night shift today" Riley said before hopping onto the kitchen counter and biting into the juicy apple that she picked up from the table outside.

Sophie has kitchen duty today.

"You don't sleep well in the night nowadays. If not for the medicine our pack doctor suggested, you would be roaming in the pack corridors at night" Sophie teased while chopping some cheery t

    "What are you up to bestie?" Sophie asked Riley, who is currently trying to finish the perimeter check without jumping out of her skin for every snap of a twig. Riley sighed and adjusted her mobile a little. For some reason, she is feeling extra jumpy and skittish tonight. She has this strong sense of awareness that someone is watching her. She knows she is being ridiculous and all of this fear is because of that night. But she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. Just to calm her nerves, she dialled Sophie, so that she wouldn't feel alone and scared. "Nothing, Justin asked me to watch the northeast corner of the pack tonight. But before that, I have to do the casual perimeter check by walking around the pack perimeter to check if anything is out of place" she explained."Hmm, but there are others who are on duty tonight. Will they not do this check? Why is it always you?" Sophie asked.Riley chuckled."So sweet Sophie. But everyone has to do the perimeter check. Almost the

    'Riley run ' she can hear Carter's voice in her head. But her feet refused to move. She is frozen to the spot with fear. She is scared that whoever it is might use the same wolfsbane he used against her to stop her. That was the most painful moment of her life. The moment that wolfsbane touched her skin, her whole body began to burn as if she is literally burning in fire. She doesn't want to go through that kind of torture again. Her reoccurring nightmares added fuel to her fears.And moreover she wanted to know who he is. Her determination to know who he is and what he wants is buried under the blanket of fear. But it's there."My sweet Riley" someone whispered from the other side of the pack territory. He is not on this side of the perimeter, which is a small relief. But if he can follow her this far, then crossing the perimeter is not a big thing for him.She shivered as that haunting voice reached her ears. She is even scared to breathe loudly. "Your soft skin" he whispered. That

    "Apart from that sickening scent, we couldn't find anyone Alpha. No footprints, no clues, nothing. It's as if he is a ghost flying in the air. Came out of nowhere and escaped as if he was never here. If not for that scent, none of us would have believed that someone was there. But that scent, it is foreign and metallic. This scent cannot be connected to any living being. It is that different" Ajax shared the information he received from the warriors who went in search of that stalker. Carter leaned back in his chair. He is exhausted. Riley slept just a little while ago. She is terrified. He had to give her sleeping pills to make her relax. The pack doctor said that she is suffering from anxiety. Anyone who experienced something so haunting would feel anxious. He heard everything that man said to her. "He is not a shifter" this is the first thing Carter noticed about that man tonight. Ajax frowned. "Not a shifter? But humans cannot venture this deep into our territory. Moreover,

    "Stop, please stop" Riley is begging her tormentor to stop his torture. Her whole body is burning with so much pain that she could barely breathe without wincing for every small moment. Her stalker is making her suffer for running away from him. The pain around her ankles was unbearable and she almost lost her life that night. But now she is scared that he will never let her die and torture her until she loses her sanity. Fear is a funny thing. In small doses, it will remind people to be careful, but if exposed to too much fear mingled with pain, it will become unbearable. That is what happening with Riley. She experienced too much pain when she first found out that she has a stalker. So she is really scared of what he would do next. Her fear manifested as her nightmares. Carter is shocked when he saw Riley begging someone to stop. He felt sad for her and he is equally angry with that man who is scaring her this much. He rushed to her bedside and cradled her in his lap. "Riley,

    In the next few days followed after the stalker's visit, Riley's condition began to deteriorate faster than anyone could understand what is happening with her. The nightmares which used to plague her during the nighttime began to trouble her during the day as well. She began to get scared of simple touches and fear everyone whom she stumbled upon. After the third day, she locked herself inside the Alpha's quarters and refused to come outside when she saw a warrior whom she seldom sees. No one could persuade her to come out after that. Not even her best friend Sophie. She kept claiming that her stalker is here and he came to torture her. Everyone tried to assure her that she is safe inside the pack house, but she refused to listen to anyone, not even the pack doctor. After one hour when everyone failed to bring her out, their Alpha came. "Alpha, she is losing her mind. If this goes on like this, we will be forced to send her to a physiatric asylum" the pack doctor expressed his conce

    Riley is in her head where she is not in her control. She doesn't remember why her head began to ache so much, but she felt Carter touching her head, she felt like her entire body is being electrocuted by 1000volts current. She pushed him away with all her might and moved far away from him. "Don't touch me" she screamed at him angrily. Her eyes turned translucent as if she is in a trance of some sort.Her head is telling her that he is a threat and she should not trust him. But her heart is yearning for his touch and begging him to save her from whatever is happening to her. But her head won the battle.Carter is shocked by her behaviour. She was trying to remember her parents a moment ago when her head began to hurt. He touched something unnaturally hard on her head, which is concealed by her skin. When he tried to see what it is, she is acting as if he is her enemy, which is confusing."Riley, baby let me see your head," he asked her softly. He wanted to what is there under the lay

    'Send him away ''Send him away ''Send him away 'The voice inside Riley's head began to insist that she should send Carter away.Riley is almost under the control of the person who is talking inside her head. Now she is doing just like he wants her to do."Go away from here" she demanded while looking at Carter with a translucent gaze.By now Carter is sure that whatever that thing he felt at the back of her head might be responsible for the change in Riley's behaviour. He wanted to see what it is and see if they can remove it."Just let me see your head once and I will go away" he bargained.He will not leave her alone in this room. He is just trying to get closer to her.'Don't let him come closer. Don't let him touch you. He will hurt you ' that person instructed Riley, who nodded her head like a robot who has been given a command."No, don't come closer. Don't touch me. Go away" Riley insisted.Carter took a step closer to her, but Riley picked up another vase from a nearby stan

    The pack doctor checked Riley and strangely found everything is fine with her. Her heartbeat, pulse, blood pressure and everything else were in normal range. She is sleeping peacefully, which confused him."Alpha, I am confused. I never came across a case such as this one. Just an hour ago she was behaving like an unbalanced person. But now, she looks completely alright. I couldn't understand her condition" he confessed truthfully.Carter is intently looking at the small chip-like object which fell from Riley's head. "Don't worry, I am sure she will be fine now. I will call you if I need your help" Carter brushed off his concern. He doubts that her condition was connected to the chip he is currently holding in his hands. He is sure this chip was installed in her head when she was unconscious in that forest near the human town. The good doctor left soon after, leaving his Alpha with the strange-looking chip.'So we are dealing with someone who is using technology. Who can it be? Deve

  • Mated to the Alpha in heat   Epilogue

    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
