Reene"You'll be good when your mate comes around. Don't worry, you won't be going anywhere." Alpha Frederick smirked as he led the way outside.I stiffened, my movements lifeless. Guards walked behind us, with stern looks on their faces.Today was the day set for the challenge, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy.I scoffed, but I said nothing. As we walked, I mused over my new findings at the pack. There was a certain part of the mansion, where no one, even the maids were allowed to go to.Day and night, an SUV always came to the pack. I couldn't tell what they were up to. However, from my snoops, and the maids conversations the other time, I knew something was definitely going on.As we moved outside, my heart thudded against my chest. Gathered outside were different men whom oozed strong auras. I had been trying to suppress my fear about the challenge, however, seeing these men outside, I wished I could call Kaden at that moment, just to dissuade him.I co
KadenThe moment I alighted from the plane, at the airport, and drove down to the Wolf call pack with Brandon, uneasiness filled my being.I remembered what Gaius had said when I told him about the challenge. "You have to save her, but don't get killed. Your mate would rather die, in your place." And then, he held my hands for minutes after that with complete solemnity.The council hadn't agreed to the challenge, especially Cassius. "Why endanger yourself for a woman?" He had said. None of them believed that we were true mates.Oddly enough, the only one who had agreed, was Mateo.I knew I was taking a big risk, but I had no choice. I had to get Amber back today or never."Thanks for inviting me over for a challenge. I can see the members of your pack are here," I said sarcastically, referring to the Alphas whom were watching from the sidelines.I hoped to the goddess, that there wouldn't be any foul play. But I knew it was a futile attempt.. Alpha Frederick alway
ReeneVoices... More voices... Darkness..."Say goodbye to your parents for me," Then, a loud cackle. I knew that voice. It was my father's. I tried running away, but my mind was muddled.And then, another voice tugged at my consciousness. "Amber, wake up. Please don't leave me." Sobs. I wondered why the voice hurt me so much.After a while, it all faded...When I woke up, a figure was seated close to me, on a chair. "Hey," I croaked.He steered."You are awake?" He sat up, and grabbed at my hands with twinkling eyes.Before I could say a word, Kaden engulfed me in his embrace. "Thank the goddess." We remained in that position for a while, and then he pulled away."How do you feel?" He asked, looking me over."Well...normal?" I said it in a questioning manner. "What happened? I need a glass of water." I forced the words out with difficulty. "She's awake!" A voice said, as he walked in, with as much excitement as Kaden had. "Brandon." I nodded stiffly, and sh
ReeneIt was quite chilly, and I rubbed on my arms, trying to draw some warmth, as I doubled my pace towards the forest.The sun would set soon, and then nightfall. It was yet another time to try reaching out to my wolf. After my escape from the Wolf call pack, it seemed as if she had disappeared.Worse still, Kaden was acting like everything was fine. Like I couldn't see Kathy's advances at him, during dinner. Like I couldn't tell he was hiding what had happened at the Wolf call pack.And no one was willing to tell me. I felt alone, just like my past life at Redwood pack.I soon got to my favorite spot, and decided against going naked. For one, I wasn't exactly alone, and someone could interrupt at any time.I sat down on the floor, in a cross-legged style, and closed my eyes. First and second trials weren't successful.Prepared to give it another go, I was interrupted by the crunchy sounds of dried leaves. My ears became alert, my eyes focused on the entranc
KadenI delved into the deliciousness her mouth had to offer, groping her butt cheeks as I did. And then, that familiar feeling kicked in. That urge to kill.I moved away from her, so fast, that she almost fell back. "What's wrong?" She asked with those mesmerizing blue eyes of hers. Gone was the fierceness that had reflected in her eyes before the kiss. Present now, was the sensuality I had never seen before."I have to go." I said calmly, surprising myself. I didn't want to act calm. I couldn't. I didn't want to risk hurting her. And I knew was hell that the only way to do that was to act cold."Oh, I had forgotten. You'd rather reject me as your mate, than accept me, right?" Her tone was soft, but I read the hurt beneath. I suppressed the urge to pull her into my arms, and reassure her that all was fine.But I knew all would never be fine. Not after what had happened at the Wolf call pack. I couldn't bring myself to tell her that she had murdered someone.
ReeneMy room suddenly felt big, as I lay on my queen-sized bed, staring at the ceiling. The gnawing feeling that I was alone once more tugged at my heart.My phone suddenly rang, and I frowned. Ever since I took control of this body, I hadn't given my contact details to anyone.One glance at the screen, and seeing the clearly displayed words on it, made me blink.Alpha Kaden.My heart thudded against my chest, as I wondered why he was suddenly calling me. Did he want to finally reject me?"Hello?" I said, softly, as I placed the phone on the table, putting it on the handsfree mode."Meet me at the study." That was it, and he hung up, without waiting for my response. I almost threw my phone on the floor, in anger.I scrambled off bed, and grabbed a shawl. My movements were calm and calculated, almost controlled, as I moved out of my room.The guard stationed outside bowed, and I nodded in acknowledgment, hurrying to Kaden's study....."What's all this about?"
This chapter is rated 18+, and contains steamy contents. Kaden"Mark me as yours, Alpha Kaden." Her words had an aphrodisiac effect on my body."Why don't we make this memorable?" I whispered close to her ears, and bit on her earlobe. Her eyes misted, and she tugged at my hair."Just make me yours." She bit on her lower lip, and that did it. I lifted her up, placing my hands on her ass, and walked out of the study.She encircled her hands around my neck, steadying herself. However, her movements only served to fuel my desire."Stop wriggling," I whispered hoarsely.A smile spread on her face. "Where are you taking me to?" She asked again, throwing her head back, and granting me perfect view to her milky skin.I could feel my member throbbing, begging to get some freedom. My wolf growled, urging me to hurry, and become one with our mate.Her citrus scent filled my nostrils, and almost made me take her right there along the corridor."What if someone sees us?"
ReeneThe rain thinned down to a drizzle, and I stared at the splatters from my window. The smell of the rain meeting the earth made me inhale. I'd never get over the scent.The door swung open, making me whirl around. I smiled when Kaden walked in, and I couldn't help but admire how dashing he looked, in his prim looking suit.His lavender scent filled my nostrils, and as he engulfed me in his warm embrace, I closed my eyes in pleasure."Missed me?" He asked, his voice husky.I smiled. Ever since we mated, our bond had become stronger, and I just couldn't enough of him. He leaned in, and kissed me softly."The weather isn't promising." I whispered worriedly, and turned back to the window. The meeting with the Sovereigns was due in a day's time. And that meant we had to be in Bambnorth today.We had planned to drive to the pack's airport, early this morning, and in four hours time, we might have been on Bambnorth's grounds. But it had suddenly begun raining."Br
Epilogue. Reene The morning was bustling with excitement but there was no doubt that it had a touch of chaos to it. Everyone was trying to leave for the wedding and with Kaden getting on my nerves, I had no idea if we were going to be able to catch up with the wedding service. I needed to be there before the wedding so I could talk to her and offer the advice I could. I stopped for a while, listening for a footstep but i heard none. I was beginning to simmer. "Honey! We are going to be late! Come on." I yelled, shaking my head. Amber was soon running down the stairs. "Where's your brother?" I asked, stretching my hand across the stairs to stop her from running. "And please don't run down the stairs anymore, okay?" I said to her, giving her a gentle pat on the cheeks. She nodded before replying. "He's with daddy." I glanced down at the luggage. There were no guards in sight to help me with it so i just had to wait until Kaden was down. He had always complained ab
Chapter 94. ReeneMy heart jumped, the moment I saw Amber stumble. She was outside playing with Ichabod and something had bumped her tiny feet.Thankfully she was able to steady herself before she bolted off again in full tilt, her tiny legs carrying her with boundless energy. "Goddess." I muttered, knowing I had to go get her immediately before something worse happened. I quickly stood up from the window side where I was seated. "She's just like his father, they never rest. You should let her. " My mother said, smiling the moment she knew what was happening. "I'm not taking the chance mother." I said, hurrying towards the door before she said something else to stop me. I could hear her laughter as I walked through the passageway, en route to the outside. A tender smile crossed my face the moment I saw Ichabod running after her. They were chasing a butterfly and the moment she caught it, they admired it for a while, the laughter ceasing. She flashed a grin the moment
Chapter 93. Reene It finally arrived. The day I'd become Kaden's wife officially. My nerves tingled with anticipation and excitement as the stylists scurried around me, each performing the specific tasks they had been employed to carry out. I had been dreaming of this day, ever since he mated me, it would seal the relationship between Kaden and I forever. I could feel nimble fingers brushing my hair as my makeup was being applied. "Your hair is absolutely gorgeous." Jane, the blonde hairdresser complimented, but I knew it was a hyperbole. My hair was great, but absolutely gorgeous? No. "We are thinking of weaving in some braids, what do you think?" She asked, the rest of her words were carried by a loud bang that emanated from the door as another stylist walked into the room. "I'd love the braids, be fast about it though. We don't have all day." I said, admiring my hair hair the mirror. "And your makeup, I am thinking of a soft, smoky look." "Just do your thing Jan
Chapter 92. ReeneMy eyes fluttered open and the world gradually began to come into focus. I tried to sit up but the pain in the lower half of my stomach reminded me that it was best to stay still for now. My mind was still clogged with what happened before I fell asleep and as the memories started to rush in I couldn't help but be emotional. I remember everything from how Kaden had successfully rescued me from the hands of Mateo and how the contraction had begun and how I had passed out as soon as we got back to the park. I had no idea of how everything else happened but I guess we were here. My mind was still filled with lots of thoughts and I could not think straight at the moment. That was the moment something struck my mind. "Kaden? Is he in danger?" I asked myself, remembering how Mateo had ordered his men to have him shot. My thoughts were just a jumbled mess and I couldn't quite piece everything together. That was the moment I turned my head to my right and to
Chapter 91. KadenI was standing face-to-face with Mateo and I knew right there and then that the moment had come. The air was filled with anticipation and as I looked back at my men. I knew that they were going to do everything to make sure that my mate was safe. They were all carrying their weapons, ready to carry out my orders if I gave any. The fate of my mate was in the balance, and I knew that any little mistake could cause everything to crash down, so I was going to make sure that we took this gently, considering the kind of evil person that Mateo was. There was no doubt that he could do everything as long as he got what he wanted and in dealing with such kind of people you had to be very careful. We continued to stare at each other for a while and the gears continued to turn in my head while I thought about what I was going to do to him. I prayed for a brain wave, something that would have me attack him before he even knew what was going on. But I also suspected
Chapter 90. Kaden The only sound that could be heard in the room was the clashing of sword against sword as we prepared to embark on our journey to rescue Reene. We made sure to get everything ready and inspect if there was anything we were leaving behind thankfully there was nothing remaining. The morning had been a very restless one since the mysterious man had interrupted our breakfast with the spine-chilling news. At this moment I still remembered how the man had run into the room with a very worried look on his face. After that he claimed that he had zeen Reene being abducted and taken into a cave in the northmost part of the woods. We had all stopped eating in shock because this was the second time that it was happening. The first time it had happened, the men had killed themselves, and now this. The only mistake I had made was thinking that this was going to be a different situation, but in the end, it turned out to be wrong. The other descriptions that he
Chapter 89. ReeneNot long after the incident a group of men brought a plate of food and dropped it in front of me. Before leaving the room they all made sure to say one wild thing or the other just to make sure that I was disheartened. I wondered what they gained from making me uncomfortable not minding the situation that I have found myself in. I wondered how things would turn out in the next few days now that I have been caught. I instinctively knew that their punishment was going to be very bad. But I knew I had to endure the whole thing until I was rescued from this horrible cave. After making fun of me, the men began to walk out of the room once they began hearing footsteps. I knew it was Mateo but actually he did not come anywhere near the room. I sat there in the darkness and the silence staring at the place of food on the floor. They had tied my hand just to make sure I ate in the most degrading way possible. My heart was filled with hatred and anger as
Chapter 88. Kaden I was seated in the dining room and despite the noise that was going on around me I was so lonely and felt like a ghost. The room was filled with the aroma of freshly prepared food but I knew that eating we just felt like I was pouring ashes into my own mouth. I could not eat because my heart was shattered. I looked up again at the table to see the pastries, grapes and all other sorts of food that was scattered around it because none of it appeared to me at all. I could not eat because my heart was filled with guilt and the Guilt no matter how much I tried to state a side continued to gnaw at me from the inside. It felt as though I was being ripped apart from inside because how could I sit here and try to eat while my mate and my unborn child were in the captivity of an enemy who I knew nothing about. The worst part of the whole thing was that the enemy who had abducted my maids had not offered any kind of Ransom and it was clear that they wanted he
Chapter 87. Reene My days in captivity were getting more and more endless and I had no idea when this nightmare that I could not escape would finally come to an end. Every morning that I woke up in this dank, damp cave, my confidence that I would be rescued one day gradually waned. With each passing day my cope gradually chipped away into the Dark void that awaited me. I had done everything possible to use my powers and use them against my cactus but none of it worked. Even my wolf had not been active at all. I had done everything to communicate with my wolf but it seemed impossible. It was at this point that I knew that I was alone and that I had to even put more effort and make sure that I got out of this place. But with my condition, I wondered how that was going to be possible. The fact that it was going to be very hard scared me more than anything else because I couldn't bear the thought of complications. So I just had to keep my eyes Sharp and wait for t
