CHAPTER 51. A TALK AND MORERYDERHailey had already cried her heart out before I ended my narration. I just told her everything, every bit of the incident that led to Hara's disappearance. The mob attack. Everything, but I left one crucial point out of it. I didn't mention that my Beta was the possible mastermind of Hara's disappearance. I couldn't bring myself to say it. It hurts like hell to admit it.“Oh God, what would happen to Hara and her child? If the rogues do have her, I don't wanna imagine the misery they're gonna put her through,“ She wailed.I wasn't in the right state of mind to console her. I was as broken as she was. The only difference was that I wasn't wailing like she was doing.“Don't worry, Hailey. I'm gonna do everything I can to find Hara. You have my word,“ I said.Her sobbing died down but she was still sniffing. She dabbed her tears with a handkerchief and her gaze held mine. “You– you really feel that she's your mate?““Yes, I do. Told you already. I'm madl

CHAPTER 52. THE BABY IS GONERYDERMy incessant pacing did little to nothing in chilling my tensed nerves. Running my fingers through my hair, I leaned against the wall and gave a deep exhale.It's been a heck of a day, and it was beginning to take a huge toll on me. Rescuing Hara was the easier part of everything. When we got to the rogue's hideout, they were gone. But thankfully, Hara was there, tied up in chains, and her face was smeared with dirt. Seeing her in such a pathetic state was the hardest part. It knocked off my soul, entangling me in a web of sorrow and grief.She was unconscious and was losing a lot of blood, and we had to hurry back to get her medical attention. Halfway home, I used my powers to suck up her pains. But then I realized, it was not just any pain, it was the baby. She was having a complication, a more lethal one. I had the Royal doctor waiting before our arrival. And it's been an hour already and he was still in my room, attending to her.Red was stirrin

CHAPTER 53. A NEW DAYOnce Abused. Now Loved.RYDERI woke up to a golden hue of sunlight caressing my face, forcing my eyes to squint into it. I checked the nightstand and it was a few minutes past ten. Rolling down my bed, I slid my feet into my pair of crocs and headed to go take a shower. It was a warm bath and did ease my stressed-up frame. After the long shower, I got dressed in an oversized, creased, multi-colored, long-sleeved shirt buckled up to just my chest area. I chose a black, tailored pants to go with and I dashed out of my room, looking like a goddamned hobo.But I didn't mind. It was the easiest outfit I could get on my own. Fishing for clothes through a jacked-up wardrobe wasn't my forte. Down the hallway by the left, I paused by the door of Hara's room. I needed to check up on her as It was my every morning routine. It's been two weeks since we found her and since she lost the baby. I succeeded in coaxing her to live here in the palace. But then, It came with a

CHAPTER 54. ANOTHER TWISTRYDERThe deep grunts and lewd, moaning sounds didn't register in my ears until I made the worst intrusion of my life.Deep in my thoughts, I failed to notice the bra lying at the doorway and the used condoms littered next to it.My stunning gaze caught sight of the beeping phone on the table. It was Tiffany's phone and I was the caller. I quickly ended the call, still stuck on the spot.I let my gaze slowly take in the sight in front of me. The burly ebony guy was on my seat, and Tiffany was straddling him. Her boobs were on full display and her skirt was rolled up to the waist region. Her thong cut through her ass crack but shifted to the side at her pussy area. His huge, hard black dick was thrusting into her pussy and she was yelling her head off in pleasure with her arms around his neck.She was completely disheveled, anyone could tell they'd been at this for hours.“Ryder, do you mind?“ She whispered to me in a hushed tone.I blinked back to reality an

CHAPTER 55. LOVE OR LUST?HARAI hopped into the back of the car that had driven me down to the bar. Tears welled up in my eyes and coursed down my cheeks. The driver had a confused look on his face as he watched me through the rearview mirror. “Where to, ma'am?“ he asked in a formal, polite tone. He was one of the Alpha-Prince's chauffeurs and had opted to bring me here in one of the Alpha-Prince's cars when I dashed out of the building.“Back to the palace,“ I sniffed back my tears. The ignition turned on and the car drove out of the curb of the bar.Once again, I rued ever listening to Hailey and letting her convince me into coming here. If I had stayed back in the palace, I wouldn't be crying this much right now.Everything that has happened to me recently has been overwhelming and threatening to drive me crazy.First, it was Ciara's stunt with the media. Then I had to deal with an angry mob. And then Jason had come to pick me up. That was the last memory in my memory lane.The

CHAPTER 56. MY DICK FEELS AT HOMEHARAMy shaky fingers had only undone one of his buttons when he caught me off guard with a ferocious kiss.I gasped, gripping his shirt as I was forced to take quick steps backward. His hands grabbed my ass through my skirt and we plumped on the bed.He didn't break the kiss but went ahead to ravage my mouth with his tongue. He was kissing me like his life depended on it. Like he's been starved. And his hands were working their way expertly into my inside thighs, squeezing the flesh there.I gasped in pleasure. My hands roamed around his back and my hips rocked to his hard dick hidden beneath his pants. I didn't want the foreplay. I just needed his dick inside of me. His mouth left mine and watered kisses on my neck to my earlobe and I moaned in pleasure, loving the feel of it. He was being soft like he didn't want to hurt me. I could feel he wanted to go hard and fast but was just refraining himself from doing so. His dick was throbbing at an incre

CHAPTER 57. HOW TO TALK TO HERRYDERIt was another radiant day that brought with it my overpowering duties as an Alpha-Prince. I was seated at the round table, having a rather confidential meeting with my war Lords.They'd come up with a plan to build an estate for the thousands of people displaced by the flood. It was a surreal idea and captivated me instantly.We all dived headlong into coming up with the plans, arrangements, and techniques the building would be needing. It wasn't gonna be easy but we were determined. The people need it. And I'm willing to do anything for my people.”Have Tiffany put the word out about this project. We'll be needing a lot of good investors for this,“ I said to Darius, scanning through the draft of the estimated cost for the project.I merely glanced up and back to the paper but then I was forced to look up again and I was stuck staring. The door to the meeting room had been left ajar, all thanks to Jay. And through it, I was getting a better view

CHAPTER 58. I WANNA MAKE THIS WORKRYDERThe cold wind of the night infiltrated the room through the window blinds. It was brushing through my hair, making my strands do a happy dance. I was still in the meeting room, still seated at the round table but I was alone. The warlords have returned to the pack house for the night and Darius was taking care of the necessary calls to get the building going.I flipped through the files Tiffany had sent a few hours ago. They were proposals from my top, human investors. In these files were the conditions I had to meet and how much they were willing to wager for the erection of the estate.So far, all the proposals I've gone through were trashy and were being tossed one after the other into the trash can by my side. The more I went through the proposals, the more disgusted I felt. They all had greed, personal gains, and low empathy weaved inside of them. Humans are a bunch of selfish creatures, always out for their benefit. Nothing is done out

CHAPTER 81. A MAFIA? RYDER “What the crap, man? What's gotten into you?!” Darius spat, shoveling to his feet. “Don't you even think of playing dumb with me. The jig is up. I just spoke with Jason, you damned bastard!“ “I don't know what you're talking about, dude. What did that miserable rogue say to you to get you all worked up?!” ”You're the miserable one!” I barked, railing free from the guys and delivering another punch to Darius. They held me back immediately, pinning my hands to the back, “Fucking let me go!” “Ryder, get a hold of yourself. What's come over you?” Fred cautioned, pulling me back, it wasn't easy to keep me caged. They were using up all their energy on it. ”What is this?“ Giveon asked confusedly, glancing from me to Darius, “Dude, what's Ryder talking about?” Giveon asked him, but he still wouldn't admit it. ”I got no clue, I think Ryder just lost his mind,“ “The hell I did! You had Hara kidnapped, and then you went ahead to inject rogue blood into Jason. A

CHAPTER 80. SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYERYDER”How is he, Doc? Is Jason gonna be alright?” I asked one of the doctors who have had him under survey ever since he was confined here. We were standing at the entrance of the room, an attempt to stay far away from Jason's earshot.”I'm afraid not, Your Highness,” The Doctor sighed dejectedly. There wasn't an ounce of hope in his tone. Got me scared.”But, he got out of his coma, right? And he's talking now. Isn't that a good sign?” I badly wanted to be told that Jason was gonna be alright. That's all I wanted to hear, but it doesn't seem like I'm gonna be hearing that from the doctor.”This is the last stage for him before he completely loses everything to the rogue blood in him,“”What? Wait, I don't understand–””Your Highness, Jason's case is complicated. I mean, he's the first pure blood with rogue blood in his bloodstream. And even though we're not sure how extreme his case is, we do know that he's gonna have the basic traits of a rogue,“

CHAPTER 79. NO MORE SECRETSRYDER48 hours passed and I was released from confinement. There was no solid evidence to attach me to the crimes and Tiffany took care of providing me with an alibi. So they had to let me go.On my way home, I was restless. The war was yesterday, but according to Tiffany, the war didn't happen. She wasn't sure why, but all she knew was that Red Moon Pack's warriors didn't show up. Something wasn't right and I was itchy to find out what it was. But more than that, I was in a hurry to get back home to Hara and my unborn child.“How's Hara doing?” I asked Tiff, she was right beside me in the car. Her gaze lifted from the phone she held, and she was hesitant in giving me a reply.”Uh, she's fine,“ Her reply was not convincing at all. It got me edgy.“Tiff, is something wrong? You seem agitated, and you've been avoiding my gaze. What's wrong?”“Nothing, Ryder. And please, don't ask me any more questions. I don't have an answer to them,” She whined, forcing her

CHAPTER 78. A SIGNHARAI walked past the lobby of the hotel and headed for Roland's suite. It's been tense at the palace since Ryder was arrested. The warlords wouldn't even let me come out, I had to lie that I was going to see Hailey. Still, they weren't at ease with me leaving. I wouldn't be surprised if they were tailing me right now.I just needed to speak with Roland. I'm all shades confused, but I had to be sure he had no hand in this crisis Ryder was facing. I know Ryder too well, there's no way he killed those humans. Someone was setting him up, I just need to be sure that it wasn't Roland.I got to his suite and was gonna knock but I heard his ecstatic voice talking to someone and I had the urge to eavesdrop. “Yeah, everything's going according to plan. With Ryder locked up, my pack warriors have a good chance of defeating Ryder's four warlords…“He waited for the other person in the line to say something and then he chuckled and continued.“I know the four warlords are str

CHAPTER 77. OUR CHILD?RYDERThe blaring siren sounds awakened me from my slumber. I had a throbbing headache, coupled with the fact that I found it hard to shrug off the dizziness. I'd sedated myself to sleep and I wish I didn't. Now waking up was hard, and my nerves are weak. I tried again and it was futile.I had to implore my wolf side and only then could I shake off the remaining effects of the sedatives. I was fully awake now, and yeah, the blaring siren sounds were real and fucking close.I hopped down from the bed and hurried outside, dressed in my sweatpants and a loose shirt. The hallway was a mess.“What's going on?!“ I asked no one in particular, as I brushed past running bodies.“I think the humans are trying to start a fight!“ A random voice replied. Everyone was in panic and it got me more anxious to hurry outside and see what the hell was going on.I froze in my tracks when I got outside and saw a long line of policemen in my front yard. Also, they had guns and we're

CHAPTER 76. A WAR TO KEEP HERRYDER“What?!” I was already hurrying inside and they came behind me. “They sent over the warning at midnight, a few hours after you left the nightclub,” Jay explained, "And in the letter, it stated that they were giving us two days to let Hara return to them, or we go to war,”“That's absurd. Red Moon Pack doesn't stand a chance against us. They might have good warriors but they're just on the same level as our trainees. Waging a war against us is suicide,” I was gloating, I was being downright disdaining and arrogant right now. But that's the only reaction I could come up with. In all honesty, I'm a bit anxious about this news. I knew it would come to this someday, the very moment I set eyes on Hara in my pack, I knew this day would come. And when her mate showed up, I knew it would come faster. And here it is, the bloody day I get to choose between Hara and the safety of my pack. After last night and how blunt she was about her feelings, the Ideal r

CHAPTER 75. SO EASY TO BETRAY MERYDERTime went still. Our breathing slowed. Distant chattering faded into thin air. My heart banged hard against my chest. I tucked my sweaty hands into my pockets. I could feel the low whimper of my wolf as he slid to the back of my mind. Hara's outburst just spiraled me and everything else around us off balance.”Wh-What did you just say?“ I asked in a weak stutter. But dear Goddess, I heard her loud and clear. I just wished she would be a little bit considerate of my bleeding heart and not repeat what she just said. But she did, she repeated it, more firmly this time.“What if I wanna leave, Ryder?“ She asked, “What if I'm suffocating here and I want nothing more but to be free from you?”“You really wanna leave?” Tears intercepted the free flow of my words, and they made their way down my cheeks. But she didn't seem to care.”Maybe,“”Was that why you defended him back there? To show me just how much you still love him?””I just didn't want you t

CHAPTER 74. I'll RATHER BLEED THAN LET YOU GOHARASeeing him standing there plunged me into a depth of panic and despair. Tears stung in my eyes and made their way down. He was yet to say a word, but his eyes were doing all the talking. He was blasting me with his eyes, telling me to go straight to hell. His eyes held a dose of rage I'd never seen before, and a greater shade of bitterness. He was hurting, more than I thought he would. My endless tears wouldn't let me talk, and even if they weren't in my way, I still wouldn't talk. What could I possibly say to fix this? Nothing, nothing I say right now would quench the fire of rage in his eyes. All I have to do is brace myself up for it.”Grab your stuff!” He ordered me glacially, quavering from anger. His clenched fist was hungry to ruin someone's face.I flinched at how thunderous his voice was. I ran back into the bedroom to get my bag and the bundle of my messed-up clothes. When I got back into the lounge, it was a bloody disaste

CHAPTER 73. IT HURTSRYDER“And that's a wrap,“ Tiffany declared exuberantly as the Frenchmen signed their part, sealing up this deal.I was ecstatic, but the fuck, I had to pull myself together. This deal was worth trillions and just what I needed to kick off my estate project. I haven't felt this fulfilled in a while, the feeling was surreal.The three Frenchmen stood to their feet and we shook hands with them.“I look forward to working with you,” One of them said in a heavy French accent. It's kinda insensitive that I didn't even grab their first names. Tiffany took care of all that. She took care of everything, to be honest. All I did was attend this meeting and sign the papers.”Me too. Have a safe trip tomorrow,” I beamed, stuffing back my hands into the pockets of my pants.“Again, I love your tux. The designs are fabulous,“ The youngest of them commented, breaking off in between sentences. English wasn't his first language and he seemed to be having greater difficulty with it
