2021-12-24 20:40:46“What do we do?” Layla asked in a voice I could barely recognize as hers.
“Calm down,” I say in my own weird voice. I was scared, but mostly for Layla because I dragged her into this whole mess. Jordan was threatening to kill her and for all we know her family could be in trouble already. I wouldn’t put it past him to do anything rash, he sounded desperate and I remember the look in his eyes after he beat me up on the night he rejected me. He could have killed me if he wanted to and I thought he was going to, but he spared me and now I have dragged Layla into all of it.
Layla was hardly ever scared of anything, but she looked terrified now and I know it is not just about Jordan’s threat but fear of what the prince would do to her.
“Jordan is going to kill me. He almost beat me up the day he asked for your number and I refused to give it to him,” she says shakily “But even if I manage to escape his wrath, because after all my parents are respectable members of

RYDER’S POV “You look like a walking corpse,” My dad says mockingly. The scowl on my face deepened. “Stay away from this father,” I hissed. Typical of him to gloat at a time like this. Who would think that the werewolf king was a petty bastard? No one but me. I have not slept or eaten in days and I know I look like shit without him saying it. Food is the last thing on my mind, I just want to find her. A lot has happened to me in my lifetime but none was as scary as this. What if I never find her? what then would become of me? How long could I really survive without her? My wolf is slowing down, it’s funny how a woman can make the strongest wolf feel so powerless. Many times, I get angry, I dream of the many ways I would punish her and make her beg for my mercy, but right now, the fear is creeping in, and it outweighs the feeling of wanting to punish her. I have sent a message to all the packs in

TIANA’S POV No one dared walk out on the werewolf prince, but I did, and successfully must I add. I left, and is it safe to say I regret it already? What was I thinking? How long could I really keep up with this? Did he miss me as much as I miss him? does he have any regrets of his own? Like allowing that bitch Susan to come anywhere close to him, or why he held back information about his former mistress? Would things have gone better if he had just been open to me from the start? Was there even any possibility that he could be happy with me? that I could be something more than a prisoner to him? Did I do any good by running away or I just succeeded in ruining things entirely? What if he had plans to punish me forever for leaving? What if he wasn’t looking for me because he cared, but because he felt insulted and that was why he was ready to pay whoever finds me? So many questions, yet I didn’t have any answers. I want to go ba

Everything started to appear blur to me. One minute we both went into a panic and the next, Layla is turning back to Daystar pack, and then I must have zoned out for Moon goddess knows how long.I felt strong hands on my back, lifting me up, I’m not sure where we are or who the hands belonged to but they felt too comfortable, so I snuggled closer and allowed him sweep me off my feet to wherever he was taking me to. I couldn’t open my eyes, because I was too tired, and because his arms felt so right. It took me a number of seconds to register who those arms belonged to, and why I felt so comfortable in them.My eyes flung open and were instantly met with his. I sucked in my breath and held it for a little over a second. Green emerald eyes, the same that have hunted me for many weeks now. The memories of the first day I set my eyes on him come flooding back, and my wolf is on full alert, wagging her tail and panting.He is angry, so very angry, b

Last time I saw Jordan was the day I was shipped out of Eclipse, and I remember the look on his face, almost like he didn’t want me to go, but I know better. He was one of the major reasons I left Eclipse pack. Yes, I lived a hard life there, but his rejection was enough to make me take that bold step to see Alpha Simon.Seeing him like this in this position, I knew without any reasonable doubt that I never felt anything for him. I was never drawn to him all these years until I found out he was my mate, and he was just my ticket to get away from Eclipse so I could meet my Prince.I rushed to where he was and I was just about two steps away from him when I felt someone grab me from behind, apparently one of the warriors that escorted the prince here.Ryder’s beast was hovering over Jordan, who seemed unconscious at the moment. He sniffed the bottle in Jordan’s hands while I tried to wriggle myself away the arms grabbing me, but again, I failed t

“Where are the others?” I snuggled closer to him on our ride back to the werewolf palace. I was exhausted, but excited at the same time. I can’t get over the fact that I have a wolf now and she is the prettiest thing ever. I have burned so much energy from my first shift and I just want to close my eyes and sleep, but I was still so worried for Layla.“They left,” he says shortly.“I dragged Layla into this and she only wanted to help. Please do not punish her. If you must punish anybody then it should be me,” I say faintly, but he doesn’t respond. Instead, he sniffs my hair and exhales softly.“What did Susan say to you?” He asked, a flash of anger in his voice.Oh, that tramp. I had almost forgotten about her. I frowned and sat upright as I remembered her mean words that led me here in the first place. I bit my lower lip and looked out the window. Now he was staring at me with one brow raised.

Nothing prepared me for the electric currents passing through every corner of my body as our kiss intensified, or for the wild need that shook my whole being. Ryder has kissed me before, but right now it was different, and I can guess why. The presence of my wolf made everything I felt for him even more intense. My whole body was alive and I wanted more, so much more that it scared me how much my body was on fire with need for him. I could literally feel the whole room spinning, and my body getting hotter and hotter with each passing second, my female hormones more alive than they have ever been. It was sweet and scary at the same time. I wrapped my only free arm around his neck and pulled him on top of me on the bed, unable to stop my hard breathing, and not oblivious to his own massive bulge poking me between my thighs. I craved for more, so much more and I feared that I would never get enough, but he matched my need with an urgency of his. My legs wrapped

*RYDER’S POV*I have to make my trip to Eclipse pack tomorrow morning, it’s about time. I’m in Louis’s part of the castle, going over our recent findings, although my mind is not fully into all of this. I would rather be with my mate right now, taking her in the many ways that I have dreamed of, but that could wait. We had our whole lives together. I must get justice for her first.Louis picked up a new lead on the case we have been working on for months now, and it came to our notice after the stupid son of Simeon Walker tried to murder me using witchcraft. A scowl crossed my face as the thought crossed my mind. I could have killed him on the spot if my sweet mate was not there to stop me, and I decided he would not die so easily. He would be locked in our prisons for the rest of his life with constant torture. He has to die a slow and painful death, and I would personally make sure he remains unr

TIANA’S POV As soon as I opened my eyes, I glanced sharply at the wall clock and gasped when I saw it was mid-day already. I have been sleeping for over ten hours. I dragged the bedsheet over my naked body and sat upright as memories of the night before came flooding back. Jerk. He obviously hasn’t returned, and I don’t want to face him yet. I was still cuffed to the fucking bed, I groaned as I realized that. How was I going to take my bath or do anything with my hands tied to the fucking bed? Fuck Ryder. I was lost in thoughts of the events of the last days when a knock on the door pulled me out of my reverie. I pulled the bedsheets higher over my chest. “Come in,” I say dryly. My face brightened when I noticed it was Sadie and Nora, accompanied by my dear friend, Layla. Layla rushed to hug me before Nora and Sadie took turns doing the same. I have been in the werewolf palace with Sadie and Nora all th

We had just given the closing remarks when I finally caught a glimpse of Layla. She waved at me from behind the crowd, a wide smile on her face. I’d have been mad if I wasn’t surprised at how broadly she smiled and waved at me. It was hard pulling away from Ryder to go to her when my hands were trapped between his.When he finally let go, Layla was walking up to me same time as I was walking to her. A closer view revealed her flushed cheeks and bright eyes.“Someone looks overly excited. Where have you been?” I smiled as she pulled me into a tight embrace.“First, I’m sorry I haven’t been beside you,” She says with a little giggle, I doubted if she was really sorry.“And you are supposed to be my best friend,” I pouted childishly which made her laugh more.“I know, but I couldn’t help it,” she giggled “You look absolutely amazing by the way. I’ve never seen a

We recited our oaths before going into the ritual proper, and then the mating process had to come before the crowning ceremony. It was a rigorous exercise with Ryder taking his oath first, and then I followed suit.The king slits his left palm with a royal dagger, and Ryder does the same. Then they shook hands and the crowd bared their necks while the exchange of power was ongoing, with the kinsmen reading out the vows for Ryder to repeat.Once that was done, he had to go on his knees to receive the crown from his father. I knelt with him as his father proceeded to crown me with his mother’s crown once he was done with Ryder. I repeated my vows too and swore my loyalty to my people and to Ryder, to rule alongside him and put the welfare of my subjects first.Then it was time for the mating proper. My wolf was giddy with excitement, she had waited for this a long time. To be joined with her mate forever as one. It was midnight already and the moon was at hi

I smiled at the girl in the mirror and she smiled back. Tears glistened my eyes, but I had to hold it in, or else Elsie would go ballistic on me. ‘Don’t you dare ruin your make up’ she’d warned countless times. I laughed childishly as her eyes pried into mine through the mirror, the warning very evident in them. I can’t believe this is happening. I am just a few minutes away from being crowned the werewolf queen. Clad in the royal attire, and adorned with the most expensive jewelries, I looked nothing short of a Queen. Nora, Sadie, Rose and Layla had just exited the room to join the crowd outside. “You look absolutely stunning,” Elsie wiped her own tear before it dropped. “You know how much this means to Ryder,” she sniffed. “It means everything to him,” I nodded my head. I didn’t doubt Ryder wanted this as much as I did, or even more. “My mother’s crown has been laying around for years since her demise. It was her dying wish

The following days passed in a blur. There seemed to be too much to do under very little time, and I would not have been able to hold it off, if not for Elsie’s help. I didn’t know the first thing about organizing anything, and I wanted this to be perfect. I can’t afford any lapses.Ryder was enveloped in a pile of work himself, and we had little time with each other. Many nights, he didn’t return to bed and had to work through the night. He wouldn’t allow me to assist knowing I was pretty exhausted myself, but I fell asleep very frequently in his office and woke up in his room.The royal suite had been cleared out in the main castle for us while his father moved to the building behind that had been created for the purpose of his retirement. Our things had been cleared out and arranged in the royal suite and it would be our last night here. Louis will be moving in here once we moved out, and I knew I would miss this place so much.T

Right now, I’m super exhausted and I just want to crawl into bed and sleep, even though the evening is still young. I and Elsie have been on a shopping spree all day, trying to put a few things in place in preparation for the mating ceremony. There is a whole lot to be done before that day and I only just realized we have little time. Elsie had too much energy for one person, and if I hadn’t insisted that we continue tomorrow, we would have still been out by now.The regained my strength the minute I stepped into Ryder’s house and noticed he was home. He’d called earlier, but we hadn’t talked much. I climbed up the stair to the room with speed. Our bodies and minds were connected. I knew he could feel my presence the minute I walked into the building, just like I felt his.He was just stepping out of the shower when I walked in, a towel wrapped loosely around his waist, and I drooled over his body. Tearing my eyes from his chest and biceps

We returned back to the royal palace that same day and by the following day, things were being put in place to shut down Eclipse pack. I didn’t stay back to see it though, my job there was done, and I was back to the royal palace. Many members of Eclipse pack will not like me, because they wouldn’t understand this was in their best interest, but I was used to them not liking me, I lived with that all my life, only difference now is that I have upper hand. I hurried to meet Elsie who had been waiting for me downstairs for a while. As usual, I had woken up to find Ryder’s side of the bed empty, and the disappointment that followed was totally beyond my control. I had to remind myself that the fact that he had marked me now didn’t mean that he would have lesser responsibilities, and he only just informed me about his father’s decision to retire in less than two weeks, so there is a lot that needed to be done before the handover ceremony. To my surprise, Louis was beside

It’s a long ride from the royal palace to Eclipse pack and I would have dreaded the journey if not for the presence of my mate besides me. The last time I had to travel this long was when I left the royal palace to hide from Ryder, a very foolish decision as I have now noticed. I could never do without him, and I don’t even want to try.We pulled into the pack gates and looking round, a lot has changed from when I was here. The warriors on guard saluted and stood in position as we entered. From behind the tinted side glasses of the vehicle, I can see mothers carrying their young pups and hurriedly running to shelter, for fear of the Alpha Prince.The pack has been under the governance of the royals for the last few days, and a lot of things have changed since I remember. The atmosphere around the pack was unusually gloomy, and even the warriors wore sad faces. The walls of the packhouse look duller than I can remember and the trees and plants that decorated

Dungeons are really scary. We had a small dungeon in Eclipse pack where I spent a couple of nights in the past. I remember Alpha Simeon had me locked there for two weeks straight one time he said I had disrespected his Luna. It was the longest time I stayed in a dungeon at a stretch and it was a horrific experience. I think I was about thirteen then.I swallowed as one of the guards led us to the cell where Jordan was. Ryder’s hands were positioned at the small of my back, and apparently, he didn’t like the idea. I could feel his emotions and I know he can feel how uncomfortable I am here.I have never seen a dungeon so large before. It rested many feet underground with several cells lined up opposite each other. I couldn’t walk the lengths of the cell, because it was separated into several sections. Some cells were smaller than some and the crime committed would determine the cell one gets. I know this all too well from my own experience.I co

TIANA’S POVFor obvious reasons, I felt relieved when I heard about the news of Simeon’s death. I know my mate would have wanted a more severe punishment for him, but I could care less. I was more than happy that the case would finally be closed and that my mate can have a little rest and move on to other things.My father had to go back to get himself ready to move here fully, and he said he would be here in a couple of days. I am glad that he would be around me from now on and that we would finally be able to be part of each other’s life. Meeting Ryder was the best thing that happened to me, and I don’t want to envision a life without him.I want to be more involved in the work going on around here, and most importantly I want to go back to training, although Ryder is not hearing any of it. It is late in the night already and we were laying on the field by the lake side, gazing at the star
