“Stop following me,” I screamed at Thomas. It wasn’t my imagination, he flinched, but that didn’t stop him.
“You must return back to Prince Ryder’s room-” he was saying, but I didn’t let him finish.
“I know that, and I am not running, so can you just quit following me?” I boomed.
“I still like my head on my neck. Prince Ryder would not hesitate to separate the two if he found out that I left you on your own,” he complained.
I grit my teeth in anger. I haven’t returned back to Ryder’s house since I left the king’s palace, because I wanted to be far away from anything that reminded me of him, and it was so hard to get rid of Thomas but I desperately want to go on a run. My wolf wanted out of this body, it was the only thing that could calm me down or make me feel a little bit better, but a part of me knew that if I shifted, Thomas’s wolf would be right behind mine and I didn’t wa

RYDER’S POVOnly a fool would play pranks with the most powerful werewolf on earth and think he would go free, and Leo just proved how foolish he is. Going the extra mile to get the most powerful spell that could turn him into that beast was a waste of time, and summoning all those rogues didn’t do him any good either. I spat at his lifeless body before climbing into my vehicle to begin our journey back to the place.I’m exhausted, and still in a pretty bad mood because no one had a clue where the stupid Simeon was. He couldn’t have gotten so far, and it wouldn’t be long before I find him, I know. Still, I was mad that those I put in charge had let him out of their sight. Morons. Seems like these fucking warriors cannot do anything right these days.If Leo had not been so foolish to try and conquer me, he would have been on the run just like his brother. So, his aim for killing Jayce was because he thought the alpha se

TIANA’S POVI definitely felt better after that run, but my mind was still clogged with so many questions about how Adeline died, thus making it difficult for me to fall asleep. I don’t feel that fear of my mate being in danger anymore like I had felt earlier in the day, and I was relieved mostly.It was still quite early in the evening, and even though the king said I should make a habit of having my meals at the royal table, I don’t think I would be doing that again. I walked out on him, and that was disrespect on my path, but certainly he didn’t think I would sit back and take all of that, did he?I never thought of the possibility of Ryder hurting me, but after my recent findings, I find myself doubting if he would put an end to my life if he had to. I tried to force myself to sleep, especially because I didn’t get much sleep the night before, but it wouldn’t come, and I woul

RYDER’S POVI can’t tell her that I was on the look out for her father yet, at least not until I find him and hear his own side of the story, just so I don’t get her hopes up. I felt how happy she was knowing the Hughes were safe, and I would do anything to make her happy now, including telling her the truth about Adeline, and whatever happens to Eclipse pack from here was totally up to her. She deserved that, especially after all she had gone through while she was there.After I told her all she needed to know about her former pack and the death of Jayce Walker, I needed to see Elsie. So, I sent a mind link to her to meet me in my office at the royal castle. I hate to leave my mate but I needed to address some issues with Elsie, and I needed to do that now.Elsie is stubborn and headstrong like our mother, and it was hard to forgive her for what she did. She knows all I had to deal with in my past relationship, y

The night was a little fast. From having that lengthy conversation with Elsie to finally wrapping up a few issues on the case, and then going back to my room to find Tiana sound asleep. I crawled into bed with her, trying to be as quiet as I could so I don’t wake her up, and I was up very early in the morning before she woke and got ready for the day. I had a place set up for the Hughes and they would be here from now on, lucky for them. The fate of the other members of Eclipse pack now rested in the hands of my mate. I walked to Louis’s office to find him there already. “You skipped breakfast,” he says “Not like it’s anything new, but father was hoping to see you,” he had a smug smile on his face. I shrugged. “I don’t care about him,” I say dryly. “The family I brought to the palace would be meeting with the other royals soon, they helped us with information remember? And knowing how much Tiana adores them, it only makes sense to bring them here,” I

TIANA’S POVIs it just me or is everyone suddenly avoiding me since Ryder got back? I’m probably overthinking things and maybe Elsie is just busy but I haven’t seen Layla and the other girls either, and this new body guard is worse than Thomas. Despite not liking Thomas at the beginning, I would choose him over this new bodyguard.I was tired honestly, and I wanted to join the others training. I don’t always have to rely on any prince charming to come to my rescue whenever I was in danger, especially now that I had my wolf. I haven’t trained since I got to this place, and that wasn’t good for me. Werewolves needed training, and I was no exception, no matter how strong my wolf appeared.I haven’t seen Ryder since his revelation when he got back. I thought I felt him climb into bed with me the night before but he must have left before I woke up because I could still perceive

The day I discovered my wolf was the day I started to feel things I would never have imagined possible. My need for this man has multiplied ten times more and I don’t think there is a limit to what I can do to feel his body against mine every time. I tried to remind myself I had to be careful, so there isn’t a repeat of the last time, but just like before, every bit of caution is buried somewhere at the back of my head and the only thing I want is to quench this ache and burning desire for him.He deposits me a little roughly on the bed, but I cling to his neck, and tightened my legs around his waist, pulling him down with me, and my nipples hardened the more when he groaned between my lips, still suckling on them with a fierceness that turned me on.My whole being was on fire with need for him, and when his hands found my left breast and massaged softly, I moaned with pleasure. I wanted all of him, but what if he turned me down again? I fucking don’t

“If I could do something to change the way you lived your life in Eclipse pack the past years, then I wouldn’t hesitate Tee,” he whispered into my ears “But no one of them is going to get away with how badly they treated you,”“Thank you,” I say softly, my heart warming at the gentleness of his voice. He brushed his thumb over my lips, his lustful eyes staring hungrily at my body.I reached into his pants and took his huge shaft in my hands with my eyes pinned to his and he sucks in his breath sharply.“Don’t,” he warned, but the tone of his voice excited me, so I stroked gently, making the size grow even bigger with my every stroke. Then, he held my hand and stopped me, his eyes were the darkest shade of black I’d ever seen them.“Don’t start what you can’t finish, darling wolf,” he says hoarsely.“And what makes you think I can’t finish it?

“Let me mark you,” he says hoarsely, and my eyes brightened with excitement. I have thought of bearing his mark for a long time, and there is no better time to do it than now. I am ready, and he knows it.I tilted my neck to give him access “Nothing would make me happier than wearing your mark,” I whispered.“I want you to know that I would never do anything to hurt you. I tried to force my mark on you once, and I am fully aware of what could happen if I had done that to you in that state, but I wasn’t thinking straight, and most importantly, I didn’t want to lose you again. If you had been bearing my mark before then, it would have been easier to find you,” he says,I nod my head. That was totally understandable.“I hope you know what it means to have my mark on you?” he asked.Yes, I know what it means. I would be his forever, and I was aware of the responsibilities that would come with

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
