I scowled at Ryker, looking between his eyes the spoon in front of my lips with disdain. “I'm capable of feeding myself," I said, glaring daggers at him.But Ryker remained adamant, his hand holding the spoon in front of my mouth steadily. "Open your mouth and eat," he commanded, his voice low and husky.I tried to protest again, but Ryker's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing. "Don't make me force-feed you, Arianna," he warned icily.I glared at him, but I knew I was no match for him. I was too tired, too weak, and I was experiencing pain all over my body. I gave in, not because I was scared of him, but because I just didn't have the energy to fight.I opened my mouth, and Ryker spooned the soup into my mouth. I ate silently, trying to avoid his gaze, but Ryker seemed determined to meet my eyes. He fed me like a child, wiping whatever drop of liquid off my chin at intervals, even when I protested."Stop it," I muttered, trying to push his hand away. "I can do that myself."But a ghost o

_Ryker’s POV\I stood in the gym, the sound of my fists pounding against the punching bag echoing through the room. The bag swung back and forth, its leather surface worn and cracked from countless hours of use, and I knew it wouldn’t be long before it joined the pile of broken ones on the ground. I hit it again and again, the impact sending shockwaves through my arms and into my chest.My wolf was close to the surface, my fangs bared and my eyes glowing. I could feel its power coursing through me, urging me to let go, to surrender to its primal instincts and let it make control. But I couldn't give in. Not now, not when Arianna was around. I had to keep control, had to keep my emotions in check. My wolf could be wild when unleashed and I didn’t want to risk anything happening to her.As I punched the bag, my mind replayed the events of the previous night or the early hours of this morning, depending on what 4 am was to you.Arianna's face swam before my eyes, her big doe eyes filled

I ignored the lustful look in Ryker's eyes as I spoke, wondering how men could be so weird. One minute they're growling and snarling, the next they're looking at you like they want to devour you whole.I took his hand, trying to ignore the jolt of electricity that ran through me at the touch. He felt it too because he tensed a bit, but to my surprise, he didn’t try to pull away as I led him out of the gym. He followed silently behind me, his eyes fixed on me with an intensity that made my skin prickle.After that incident with Ryker early that morning, none of us had gone back to bed. We just sat side by side, staring at the television. “Staring” being the keyword because while the characters were moving, both our minds were miles away.Me, wondering what could be the problem with him. What could have hurt him so deeply to have tormented him in his dreams. Before now, I could have sworn Ryker didn’t have any problems, but my view of him had changed totally after last night. It made me

I was caught off guard when Ryker's lips captured mine. At first, I didn't react, my mind frozen in shock with my hands laying limp on his chest. But as his lips moved against mine, something inside me sparked to life. It was like a flame had been lit, and it was spreading rapidly, consuming me whole.I felt a rush of butterflies, flapping their wings ferociously in my stomach, and my heart began to pound in my chest. My lips, seemingly of their own accord, began to move against his. It was like I was melting into him, our lips molding together as one.That was my first, proper kiss. One where he wasn’t shoving his tongue down my throat to show me “show I belonged to”, and even though I tried to make it sound disgusting, I couldn’t help the way my body lit up at the thought of it.The world around us melted away, leaving only the two of us, lost in the moment. I felt like I was floating, like my feet had left the ground and I was soaring through the air.Ryker's lips were soft and gen

After kissing me, Ryker started to pepper kisses to my ear, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine and leaving me breathless. When he reached my ear, he whispered, his voice dropped to a mere whisper. "I'm going to teach you a lot more than just kissing, Arianna."From his husky voice, I could hear the dirtiness in his tone, and could paint a clear picture of what he meant, and my face turned beet red. I quickly shimmied out of his hold and ran away, leaving him chuckling deeply behind me.My face was still red when I got to the room, and my heart was beating rapidly too. I couldn't believe what had just happened. Ryker seemed to be in a good mood, and I had to admit, I liked this playful side of him. A lot.After spending a few more minutes in the room, trying to catch my breath, I walked out of the room and to the dining. It was already past 10 am, and time for breakfast. In the dining room, the maids served the food, and I saw Claire with a tray of food. “Hey, Claire,” I g

I looked up to see a strange face standing in the doorway. The man was huge and muscular, standing almost at the same height as Ryker. He was just as good-looking, with chiseled features, piercing blue eyes that seemed to see right through me, and a head of curly brown hair. From his aura, I could tell he was the pack's beta.He lowered his neck in submission as he greeted Ryker. "Alpha," he said, his deep voice rumbling through the room.Ryker's response came out curt. "Jason. What brings you here?"Jason turned to me, and he smiled lightly. "You must be Arianna," he said, his eyes narrowed in slits as he smiled. "I've heard a lot about you."I nodded, feeling a blush rise to my cheeks. "Nice to meet you," I said, trying to sound polite, while wondering what this stranger might have heard about meJason's smile grew wider. "The pleasure is all mine," he said. "You're even more beautiful than I imagined."I felt my face grow hotter, and I looked away, trying to compose myself. But bef

His eyes were bleeding black, his shoulders were slightly hunched over, and his hands were clenched in fists so tight.My mouth ran dry, and I tried to come up with something to say. Claire had told me before that that room was totally off limits, but the seed of doubt she had planted in my mind had grown so rapidly I couldn’t wait till Ryker wasn’t around to check it out.Ryker, who was already fuming, closed the distance between us in long strides. “How dare you…..”My instincts kicked in when he thundered at me, and I immediately raised my hands up to shield my face, ready for him to strike.I knew what happened whenever men got angry. I had experienced it far too many times with Ryker not to know when to shield my face.But the strike I was waiting for never came, and I slowly lowered my hands, and was met with a confused-looking Ryker. Realization soon flashed in his eyes, and an emotion I couldn’t place filled them, but it was gone before I could even decide whether I’d imagine

I woke up to the warm rays of sunlight peeking through the curtains and fanning my face with its warmth. I slowly opened my eyes to see l’d slept longer than I usually would.I yawned, stretching my arms over my head, but something made me pause. I realized that the pain on my elbow was gone. I looked down, and my eyes widened in surprise as I saw that the skin was smooth and supple, like there had never been anything there.I touched the skin, in case I was still sleeping, and that would wake me up, but I wasn’t. I was awake and the bruise was gone.I sat up, my mind racing as I tried to remember what had happened after I fell asleep, but my memory failed me. I vaguely remembered someone entering my room, but it was a blank after that. I couldn't recall anything else.It was probably one of the maids that applied a healing gel on my arm, and I guess I knew exactly who it was.I made a mental note to ask Claire about it later, so I could thank her properly. I threw off the covers and

“That one’s not finished yet,” he said with so much emotion to evoke only one emotion from me. Curiosity.I stared at the covered canvas and my mind wandered. There were a lot of questions on my mind, but from the way Ryker’s lips thinned, and his eyes grew dark, I didn’t need to be told that that was the end of that conversation.“Ryker….” I started but stopped mid-sentence when something caught my attention behind him.It was a huge painting, not as huge as the unfinished one, but equally big. It was hidden behind an array of broken canvases, with only a small, imperceptible part of it sticking out.I could have easily missed it, but there was something about the neatly-styled raven hair that was visible in the painting that struck me.“That one,” I said, pointing a finger towards the painting. “What’s that one?”My curiosity was piqued by the fact that unlike other portraits that were hanging and scattered across every inch of the wall, covering up all of its dark brown paint, this

My shock level shot up the roof as soon as I stepped into the room. It was dimly lit, but just enough to make me stare with my mouth wide open.From the way the maids had whispered about what was behind this door like it was some top secret, and coupled with Ryker’s reaction to me going close to it the other day, I thought the room would be some sort of torture chamber, slaughter house, or worse, some kind of kinky red room with chains and handcuffs.So imagine my shock when I saw it was a room filled with canvases, painting brushes, and a mix of colors. I turned to Ryker to express my shock, and his eyes were fixed on me, his lips set in a thin line.“Can I….can I look around?” I asked cautiously, careful not to set him off.To my surprise, he shoved his hands into his pockets and nodded. “Take your time.”I turned back around, and hobbled deeper into the room with the help of my clutches. The room was filled with the scent of paint, and it looked like I’d stepped into another world,

_Ryker's POV_I felt like my skin had been scorched by a hundred hot knives, each tugging and peeling at my skin excruciatingly slowly. And all of that, I felt from Arianna’s wordsIt wasn’t the first time I’d heard those words, in fact, I’d heard way worse, but what I didn’t expect was to feel the way I did, like my heart had been ripped out of my chest and I was left to bleed out.I couldn’t remember the last time I let anyone’s words get to me, never mind getting hurt by them. Even my wolf took a blow, and recoiled into my mind. I could sense him silently blaming me for being too hard on her all this while, and pushing her away, now, she was only giving me a taste of my own medicine.It had been minutes since I left the room, but her words still stung kike she’d just said them, and maybe what stung the most was the fact that she was actually right, and I would have remained the same shitty person if that accident hadn’t made me discover who she was, and change my perspective of her

The car slowed down before rolling to a stop at the end of the insanely long driveway. Ryker parked the car and stepped out, and he was by my side of the door in seconds, holding it open for me.I was already trying to help myself out, tired of feeling like an invalid, but Ryker wasn’t having it. He ignored my not-so-strong protest, and scooped me up in his arms bridal style, carrying me towards the house.I should already be used to his arms around me by now, but it never ceases to make my heart flutter, and the feeling of my body pressed against his hard chest, his sturdy and veiny arms holding me up, his mint-coffee breath fanning my face, and his scent filling my lungs, all of it never got old, and each time, butterflies erupted in my belly.For a moment, I felt apprehensive knowing the maids, especially Claire, would see my closeness with Ryker and start to have other thoughts. But that feeling was immediately suppressed by a new, unfamiliar one I could only name as pride. Pride

The door opened, and a young doctor in scrubs walked in with a shaky smile. There was always a new one each time, making me think they dreaded coming to this room. Which they probably did, and it was all thanks to the 6’3 of pure muscles, standing by my side and delivering a death glare to anyone who as much as came a twenty feet radius from me.“Alpha Ryker,” the doctor said, his smile going from shaky to a full grimace as he bowed his head in greeting. Ryker’s response was a forced grunt as he glared lasers at the doctor, and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.The doctor quickly turned to me, and I could almost touch the relief in his eyes. “Good morning, Arianna.”“Good morning, doctor,” I said with a smile, hoping to make up for Ryker’s ill manners.The doctor visibly relaxed, and a small, genuine smile played on his lips. “How are you doing today, Arianna? Are you feeling any pain or discomfort anywhere?” He asked, touching my affected foot.Surprisingly, it didn’t hurt half a

“And he’s always taking care of you,” she said just when I thought she was done.My frown deepened despite my heartbeat skyrocketing in my chest. The doctors had said it, I’d seen it firsthand when I woke up to him by my bedside after literally shutting him down last night, but I guess I didn’t want to admit what the blood rushing heavily to my ears was telling me. Not until I heard it from the little girl.“Always taking care of me? What do you mean?” I asked, swallowing hard to provide moisture to my dry throat even though I had a good feeling what she meant.The man had literally carried me to the bathroom to help me pee! Now that I thought about it, I felt heat crawling up to my cheeks, but I quickly shook it off, focusing on Susan as she bobbed her head.“He combed your hair everyday when you were sleeping, and he cleaned you up too. He’s always staring at you and he’s always telling me to stay away from your bed and be quiet,” she shrugged her tiny shoulders.My heart slammed ha

I whipped my head to the side, following the sound, and then, my eyes fell on a little flurry of energy, her two ponytails bouncing as she ran towards me, and her bright blue eyes looking up at me.I felt Ryker stiffen and mutter a curse under his breath, and I realized how awkward it was still being in his arms.“Put me down,” I shimmied in his hold, and I felt a growl rumble through his chest, but he walked over to the bed and gently laid me on it.He stood off to the side, and the girl rushed up to me, a very contagious smile on her face as she showcased her missing tooth, just like I’d remembered.The girl at the mall! The samed one I’d tried to save. My heart swelled seeing her again, even though I didn’t think it would be in the hospital.I was about to say something, but a shrill sound beat me to it, and my words got stuck in my throat.“Oh my goodness, Susan!” Susan’s mother burst out. She looked scared. Really scared.Susan halted in her track a few feet from me, and she had

Ryker looked like he had more to say, but decided against it. He took one last glance at me, his eyes lingering on my face before he turned and walked away. I watched him go, feeling a mix of emotions swirling inside me. I was relieved that he was gone, but at the same time, I couldn't shake off the feeling that he had been trying to tell me something important.I couldn’t understand why he was acting the way he was doing. Why he was acting like he hadn’t been avoiding me for days up until now.His shoulders slumped in defeat as he walked away and I couldn’t help but think something had changed with him. I could see it in his eye, but I couldn’t tell what that was.As soon as Ryker disappeared from view, I let out a shaky breath and felt a wave of tears wash over me. I had been holding them back for so long, but now that I was alone, I couldn't stop them. I felt so confused, so alone. I was in a coma and now I found out I was bedridden and my legs couldn’t move. I didn’t know what was

I stared at the doctor, my eyes wide with shock. "An accident?" I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. "A coma?" How? How was that even possible? One minute I was shopping for groceries with Claire and the next minute, they were saying I had been in a coma, not for one, but for three whole days?!How on earth was that even possible? I didn’t want to believe it, but as the scent of antiseptic kept hitting my nostrils, I was filled with dread at the realization it might not be so far from the truth.The doctor nodded slowly. "Yes, Miss Arianna. You've been in an accident, and you've been in a coma for three days." He spoke slowly, enunciating each word as if he feared I might mishear.I felt like I had been punched in the gut. The air seemed to have been sucked out of my lungs, leaving me gasping for breath. I didn't remember anything. And even when I tried to remember, all I heard was a loud screeching sound that seemed to pierce through my brain. I rubbed my temples, trying to
