Ella's POVRyker's words rang in my head and I pursed my lips. The reply I wanted to give to Willow was right on my tongue but for Ryker's sake, I swallowed it back down.My lips were sealed but a plan was already cooking in my head.Willow was a liar and a manipulator big I was grateful to the goddess that Ryker was slowly starting to see the sort of person that she was.I knew her being here wasn't ordinary. She was here for a purpose and I wouldn't let her succeed, no matter what.As soon as Ryker walked out of the place, I didn't waste any moment. I turned around and set my plan in motion.I went straight to his bedroom and got into bed, pulling the blanket over my chest.Knowing Willow, I knew she would shamelessly walk back into Ryker's room but she was going to meet the shock of her life.Ryker was my mate. Yes, he hadn't come to terms with it yet but I wasn't going to let Willow take him from me again. It was time her cruelty came to an end.It wasnt long after I lay on the be
Ella’s POV“I don’t care about who he trusted. That’s on him not me,” I snapped, getting to my feet. My heart was starting to hurt because of someone who wasn’t even worth it, and I didn’t like it.“Ella, but he is your father,” Ryker insisted, and I turned my burning eyes to him.Didn’t he see that I didn’t want to talk about this? Didn’t he see how much it was pissing me off?But rather than show my anger, I swallowed all my emotions and smiled.“I’d like to go change now,” I said and before he could reply, I walked out of the room and went to mine.I hated how my heart felt concerned for Andrew and Ryker kept bringing it up. He didn’t deserve any reaction from me. he hurt me and now the goddess was paying him back, he had to deal with it on his own.As my fingers brushed against the doorknob of my room, I changed my mind at the last minute and walked in a different direction. Staying in that room would only make me moody. It was best I went to unwind and the only place I knew how t
Ella’s POV“What was that?” Anna asked, jumping from where she was to our position.My heart was beating so fast, it disrupted my brain. I couldn’t think of what could have happened. I just pushed the door and started running to the main wing where the flame and chaos came from.From where I was, the entire wing seemed to have caught fire and my heart tore into pieces as my fears went to Ryker who I had left in the room about thirty minutes ago. My vision was blurry as I ran even faster.But as I got closer, I felt strong arms pulling me back, preventing me from running head-on into the flames.“Princess, stay back. It isn’t safe,” a voice said but the ringing of panic in my head couldn’t even let me speak as I fought head-on to be set free.In the middle of my fight, I saw him. Ryker.“Ryker…” it came out as a whisper as the emotions clouded me and he couldn’t hear me. I screamed louder but I saw why he couldn’t respond. He was holding unto Willow.The panic stopped at once as if the
Ella's POV"What do you mean by it was a fake?" I asked, still finding it hard to believe.I knew that Willow was a bad person but to go as far as cooking up something like this..."How come Ryker didn't see it? What about Patrick?" I asked before she could reply to my first question."No one wants to die my Luna... Everyone just wants to keep their head on them. Life is already difficult. You wouldn't want to complicate things... Just leave matters of Madam Willow alone," she said and I nodded absentmindedly but I was already planning my next move."You are right," I said beaming at her. "We should let matters about her lay low. It isn't worth it."Olga gratefully left the room and I maintained my dismissive smile long after she left.She had confirmed my doubts. Now, Anna could continue and if I needed more insights, from what Olga had told me, even Patrick was aware. It meant he wouldn't mind telling me what was going on.I relaxed into the bed with a long smile on my face. Things
Ryker's POVI knew that Ella was broken. She was hurting and she was letting it get into her head.This wasn't really her. The Ella I knew —the one I met all those months ago would be concerned about her father, whether he was wrong or right. She would fight for him and by him.She was blinded by her pain and she was letting it turn her into a different person.As I thought about it, I decided to help Andrew. I could tell he was in trouble.The last time I spoke to him, he had been genuinely concerned about her. He spent hours mourning at the grave yard they made for her —someone who wanted her dead wouldn't do that.Yet he did.There had to be something about it, that she wasn't seeing. And when she realized it, it was going too be too late.It would be best I did something now.I closed the files in front of me and jumped on my feet, but just in that instance, the door opened and Patrick stepped in."I am sorry for barging in on you, were you heading out?" He noticed my position and
Michael’s POVBeing a leader was the best thing in the world. People said you became a slave for the people when you were in a position of power, but those people were wrong.A position of power meant everything you wanted would be given unto you without as much as lifting a finger. All I had to do was point at it and it would be mine.Just like I got the amazing ass that was going up and down my thick length like her life depended on it.I held back her hair and slapped her large ample breasts, enjoying the way they jiggled in front of me. What else could be better than this?“Yes,” I groaned as she tightened her legs and started moving even faster.I threw my head back and closed my eyes, taking in all the amazing emotions that my hormones were feeding on. Having gotten enough of her pace, I held down her waist and started thrusting hard and fast into her.“Hmm… ah!” she cried out as I started hitting her g-spot.A grin spread across my face, and I let my free hand squeeze her nipp
Michael’s POV“She is mated to Alpha Ryker. He has sworn to protect her with everything he has, how can you want something impossible to reach?” my mother cried out, but my brain had already started up a plan.I got out of bed and casually strolled to her. “You don’t have to worry about that mother,” I said, closing the distance between us. I took her hands and squeezed it in my hands. “Have I ever wanted something and failed at it?”She shook her head slowly, but her eyes danced with uncertainty.“Hmm, all I need from you is your blessing and nothing else. You don’t have to worry. Everything is going to be fine… getting Ella is going to make me more powerful, no one will dispute my rule, and no one can take away the power from my hands,” I said.Her eyes glowed as if my words had finally sunk into her. she nodded her head and squeezed back my hand. “You are right. Oh, why didn’t I think of this earlier?”My smile grew bigger, and I took a step back to enjoy the praises that were sure
Ryker’s POVI continued working with the man till he was done for the day because I didn’t him to look around for me or start asking people about me when I disappeared. I collected my daily payment from him and slipped away calmly between the other workers like I had a place outside of the palace.As soon as I was sure no one was paying me any attention, I slipped back into the main house and started to hurriedly make my way down to the lower levels where I knew the dungeons were.The journey down was easy, the problem came when I got to the dungeon itself, there were about four guards at the entrance and there was no way I could slip past them without getting questioned or apprehended.Shit.I cursed, leaning against a wall. I had to think of a way to get in there for I couldn’t reach this far and then just go back because some guards were at the door.As I was thinking, I saw a few guards coming and I realized that they must have been here for a shift. It was just a wild guess but a
