Riley did not touch the Album Naomi gave. It is still lying near Carter's feet. Even Oscar hesitated a little to handle it. He doesn't know what he has to see once he opens it. But as a cop, he doesn't have the luxury of ignoring potential proof of the crime. So he took a step towards the Album, but Alpha Christian beat him to it. Christian picked up the Album and opened it. His hands shook when he saw the content inside. The last page of the Album is a picture of his mate, which is snapped when she is sleeping. Christian is fuming with anger. "He secretly snapped my mate's pictures? How dare he?" he roared. Carter approached Christian and looked at the contents of the Album, which are very disturbing. "I think it would be better if you go back to your pack. Your mate is to be protected now. He is unhinged and if i guessed correctly, he knows that his Beta found out his secret. So he will either hurry up his plan or will go into hiding. If he chooses the first option, then his mat
In the Blue moon pack, Carter is staring at the ceiling while Riley is sleeping beside him. She was awake for most of the night along with him, and she managed to sleep just a couple of hours ago. The sun is just rising in the east and its soft glow is peeking inside their room from the window from in between the curtains. Carter didn't sleep a wink last night. He is feeling restless and an unsettling feeling in his gut is making him feel anxious. Sheriff Oscar informed him that Alpha Joshua escaped and the Nightwalker pack is under their control now. Carter can guess what Joshua must be doing now. 'He will be planning to take our mate away from us' his wolf voiced out exactly what he is thinking. 'I know. We need to be very careful until Joshua is caught' Carter said. His wolf agreed with him. 'These humans cannot get a hold of him. He is a slippery earthworm. We need to help them to speed up the process' his wolf pointed out. 'You are right. But how can we leave Riley alone a
"Carter please listen to me" Riley is trying to persuade Carter to let her help. But Carter is not even willing to listen to her. James is not in a position to persuade Carter to risk his mate's life. If he was in Carter's place then even he wouldn't have risked his mate's life for anything. But Christian on the other hand is desperate. His mate's life is hanging in the middle and Joshua is a maniac. He can do anything at any time. "Alpha Carter, please" he begged. Carter glared at Christian. "I will help you to find your mate. But i cannot risk Riley's life for anyone or anything" he said firmly. Riley is frustrated. "I am not saying that my life would be at risk. You will all be hidden around there. How can he hurt me when you would be hiding a few feet away from me?" she tried to reason with him. Riley wanted to become the prey to lure Joshua out of his hiding. Alpha Christian would take her to the place where he last saw Joshua and where Joshua asked him to bring her. Carte
In the old rundown building near the human town, David ignored Joshua's call again, which confused his assistant. "Boss, may i know why are you not answering his calls?" Samuel asked David. David is angry over Joshua. "I gave him a good plan against Carter. But just like always he messed up again. Who would maintain an album filled with pictures of dead women whom he killed? Not only did he keep that album in his bathroom, he also let his Beta find it easily. She gave the Album to the human authorities and now instead of Carter, this idiot is stuck. It's useless to attend his calls. I know what he wants. He is better off dead than alive. He proved useless for us" he muttered angrily. Samuel understood that Joshua messed up again, which is not unusual. Joshua only wants women and he cannot do anything properly. His attention is always focused on how to torture women rather than on how to implement the given plan correctly. "I understand," he said politely. David is beginning to f
Carter, Christian, and James came to the place where Christian last saw Joshua. "This is the place where i fainted and where Alpha Joshua gave an ultimatum about bringing Luna Riley if i want my mate" Christian confessed.Carter looked around the place keenly. He is searching for anything that would hint at him where Joshua could be hiding."He is not alone. Luna Natalie is with him. So he would be here somewhere close by. He wanted to keep an eye on you, so i am sure he wouldn't be far. Let's split and search in the other three directions. If anyone of you finds anything, let the others know. Mostly try smelling for that metallic smell which is always associated with him" Carter instructed.The three Alphas went in different directions with their respective warriors. Carter is trying to sense the metallic smell that Joshua uses to hide his scent. What none of them realized is that Joshua is standing on a tree over their heads and he is glaring at Christian with anger.'Instead of m
In the woods near the Shadow pack, Carter found the small tent, which is so out of place in the otherwise serene surroundings. The tent is in a combination of green and brown, the colors meant to blend in to its surroundings. The place where the tent is arranged is such that, the surrounding bushes cover the most of the tent and it can be easily over looked. Carter's gaze caught the sight of that tent only because he can smell metallic scent smell from there."Alpha Christian, i found your mate" Carter informed Chritian by dialing to his mobile.Ajax is with Carter, while Ronan and Justin are left behind in the pack for Riley's security."Alpha, i don't think it's safe to go there alone. Let the others come" Ajax cautioned.Carter shook his head. "Luna Natali is with that lunatic far more than she should. We should hurry now. If he realises that we found him, he will not hesitate to kill her. So delaying will only lead to him hurting the shadow pack Luna" he pointed out.When Carter
Joshua used the gas balls David gave him once to make the Blue moon pack warriors fall unconscious. He activated the ball and rolled it down in the general direction of the warriors who are coming at him. In an instant, they all fell down unconscious. The gas from the ball is quite effective and it can make a bulky shifter fall unconscious in under one minute. Joshua moved towards the pack house where his obsession is at a steady unobstructed pace. This is how he has taken the Shadow pack, Luna, as well. Only a powerful and strong-willed shifter can resist the effects of the gas, others cannot. So he cannot take his chances when Carter is here. Joshua walked inside the pack house towards the Alpha quarters where Riley would be. "Catch him" Joshua saw the Blue moon pack Gamma coming at him angrily with a few warriors. He used another gas ball to make them fall victim to its effects. Joshua reached the Alpha quarters and banged open the door. But he didn't find Riley inside. "R
Riley is lying in the hospital with several pipes attached to her body. As her injuries are deep and she lost a lot of blood, she was admitted to the hospital. By the time Carter came back to the Blue moon pack, he saw Riley lying motionlessly beside a dead Wolf. He understood that the wolf is Joshua and she successfully killed him. But she is deeply injured too. The pack doctor patched her up, but he couldn't do anything more than that. They all are waiting for her to heal her wounds by herself. She is yet to gain her conscience. "Our Luna is so brave. She faces an Alpha alone and even managed to kill him. That is not a simple thing to do" the pack doctor noted. Carter is proud of his mate, but he is worried about her injuries. The good doctor assured him that she will recover soon, but he couldn't relax his anxious heart. "She is a brave warrior before becoming my Luna" Carter appreciated his mate. Sophie is still hiding in the Alpha Quarters even three hours after the attack bec
