RyanThe mating ceremony The mating ceremony was tonight. I was no longer nervous about it. When the door was knocked, I was sure that Ryan had assigned some new servants to me since Nina was still nowhere to be seen to stop but the person that opened the door excited me the most. Then I walked in with a bunch of towels in her hand and a basket on the other. I went to her immediately, rubbing my hands around her shoulders and hugging her tightly. I was so worried about her. I missed her so much.“I am so sorry. I am so sorry for what I have done. I am so sorry for not being able to protect you in the face of My Father. this is all my fault.’’ I whispered, trying to stop myself from crying on her shoulder. I felt so bad for everything that had happened. I had spent the past few days blaming myself over and over again, wondering why I had been so big; my relationship with Ryan and somehow became better. Ever since we talked about that night with his father he was different. He made t
Ryan The ceremony was tonight. My beautiful mate and I will be together for life. our Union will be solidified today and so would my claim over the throne. Today I get to visually become the alpha of Redmond Pack. it is not only an honour for me but something that I've been waiting for my whole life. I want to make changes, changes that are bound to make my father unhappy.“Anything planned?’’ Philip asks, swinging the sword from side to side as he brings his protectively forward.“You have no idea.’’ I say glancing down at my choice of weapons. Our usual practice needed to be followed. It was the only way we stayed on our feet and also remained dangerous. Philip had that meeting in a password and I remained with nothing but a piece of wood. When my father had introduced the system to us it was one of the best things I've ever done. to pick up one weapon while blindfolded and whichever weapon will pick will be used to fight against the other. It helped maintain the unpredictability.
Ryan“What the hell do you think you're doing?’’ I roared, anger spasm inside me as I stared at her, my fingers clutching much tightly around her throat. Only an insignificant amount of words could truly describe how I am feeling right now. not only am I confused but my curiosity about the situation does not even equal the seriousness of it. This was not only disrespectful but a challenge on its own.“Alpha… I.. i.. Alpha please..’’ Nikita begged, her fingers around the wrist of my hand begging and gasping for air.“Alpha!’’ Philip called out to me, yet his voice was nothing but a distant whisper. Locked in my mind was nothing but Nikita butane and what she had done. I couldn't forgive her. I could not even see past her. my fingers just kept squeezing harder and harder. much tighter as I watched her tongue lap out panting and begging for air.“After that little stunt you pulled in the field, you still have the stomach to do something like this? explain yourself right now Nikita or el
Taylor“The alpha wolf?’’ I had never heard anything about that. I didn't even know if there was one person who possessed two worlds. Yet, Ryan clearly approves of that. I have seen his wife before and he was kind to me. He was excited to meet me and to go for a run with me. The beast that is taking over right now seems more impatient. Rampant.“Alpha..p..pl..’’ Nikita bell the colour of her eyes and changed slightly. It continued to flicker between a shade of red under the shade of the normal pulse green eyes. I know what was happening, she was trying to send for me to her wolf but she couldn't. I did not have enough experience with alphas. I lived my entire life outside of Park boundaries hence I didn't even know the first thing about how to calm down an alpha. but I knew Ryan. I knew who he was and I knew that he loved me.There was the shattering sound of more brokenwood as Ryan threw Nikita effortlessly against the following shelf. I watched with wide eyes as Nikita crawled away
Taylor“I do not understand why there is so much opposition to what our mating ceremony.’’ I spoke out loud, entering the room and slamming myself onto the bed. Ryan was quiet.“Ryan, do you think we are making a mistake?’’ his eyes shot up immediately. There was something different about how he was looking at me, like he was scared or ashamed of something.“Why would you think that?’’ He reached me and pulled me up from the bed.“I think it has been obvious and anyone who has not noticed, he is simply just pretending. The entire world seems to be working against us. We keep postponing a meeting ceremony over and over again. first it was the intruders, then it was my father's attack, And now with the incident in your office.’’ I was honest with myself. I would be lying if I said I had not thought about that. Suddenly, he pulled me closer to him, making our bodies practically glued together, and he kissed me with so much passion and heat that I found myself clenching my thighs togeth
TaylorMy curiosity had fully been satisfied. Every question that I had, was answered respectively. Not only about the people of the park but also about the Elders and every alpha in attendance. Ryan's father had officially introduced me to all his political allies parading me as the perfect daughter-in-law. It felt stranger but I chose to love the feeling while it lasted.“I have taught her everything she needs to know. I believe that as long as she passes by my hands, she is going to make a wonderful Queen for this Pack.’’ he lied through his teeth. I was unable to understand how he could just effortlessly make up online without feeling guilty, but he spoke as if it was second nature. But he didn't see anything wrong with what he was doing. but I was not going to complain because after all, I have been praying to the moon goddess that Alpha Joseph and I would at least get along for this day. I had been scared before the start of the ceremony wondering if the Alpha will do something
TaylorThe ceremony was not yet over. Maybe it was about the people extending it. Our joining event had happened just a few hours ago yet the celebration was going hard. People of the pack truly did know how to party. On one hand, it would be about abandoning their lives full of stress and enjoying the free booze and food.Enjoying the free booze and food. but I was bored and I was obviously exhausted from having to interact with so many people that I didn't even do to begin with. My face hurt from smiling too much. I've always kept a low profile. kept my head down and a hoodie above my head. I've always avoided people's eyes and I have always avoided congregations like this one. Yet today all these people are here for me. and I had to bring out a different part of myself I don't even know still existed. I needed to be the same person I was when I was a child. innocent and untouched. Never Had by the cruelty of this world. That was what I needed during the ceremony and that is what I
Taylor The rays of the morning sun penetrated through the light curtains in the bedroom. It was the only thing that woke me up. Ryan was still fast asleep beside me. when I stepped down from the bed I felt his arm around my waist as he pulled me back in. It's already morning.’’ I whispered, feeling him kiss my shoulder. I've never really taken note of how freakishly strong and big he was compared to me. In this spinning position, I felt like I was nothing but a pet in his arms. at Ideal human and he was my giant. his arms felt wonderful however. and all I wanted to do is be in bed with him for the rest of my life.“No one cares about morning. anyone who heard you screaming last night you'd expect us to wake up nothing less than the afternoon.’’ embarrassment paints my face as I bite my bottom lip.“ I was not screaming.’’ I answer with embarrassment. they had that he hasn't my chest right now is not doing any justice. it only makes me more needy. “ Yes you are. and you are such a g
Taylor's PovWhile I stepped out of the dungeons, my heart still remained back there. Scared and wondering whether bad things will happen. Charity threatened the life of my unborn child, and it wouldn't be long till I brought them into the world. What happened now? How could I stop her if I did not know what I was stopping to begin with."That bad, huh?" Philip spoke as he greeted me at the entrances. He bowed his head, showing respect as I stood in front of him."She won't give anything up." I let out, feeling frustrated. '"Should we have a go at her?""Even though I would not want that, I'm beginning to think I have no option." I quipped."My Queen, there is something you need to see. " His tone is urgent, indicating that something really troubled him. I nodded my head, allowing him to lead the way."How has Nina been?" I asked as I walked with him."I have not yet gone to see her, Luna." His tone mild rises, showing a level of irritation for the name."She's your mate.""Who betra
Taylor's POVI stood there, feeling frozen in time. Uncertain yet, completely sure that this had to be one of the worst days of my life. “We’ve been friends since I came here,” I said, stepping forward as I stared at her. “Why?’’Charity stepped forward, her eyes mirroring a rage I’d never seen before. “I should have seen it. How fucking stupid…”“NO! You were not stupid. I just had to play stupid to make you believe you were winning.” My answer was clear, as precise as I would have hoped. “All this time we’ve spent talking. All the times I’ve given you advice on your bastard of a husband and that curse growing in your womb. Why would you think I care about you?’’ she let out, eyes meeting mine at a distance. Her words hurt me. The trust I had put in her was shuttered at this moment. Why does everyone I trust always end up hurting me?“Why did you do it Charity?’’ I repeated. “Why do you do the things you do?”“For the ones I love.’’ I affirmed. “For the ones I love.” She mirrore
Ryan's POV“We should do something,’’ I said as I paced around the office. “ We cannot let her go out there on her own. That woman is dangerous.’’ I run my fingers through my hair as I try to overcome my frustrations. The thought of my mate being hurt enraged me. it invoked the wolf inside me making me feel out of control. Taylor was everything that I had.“ You have to trust her, man. You've already told her that you believe in her now it's time to show it. let her do this. I believe she can.’’ Philip reassured me.“ You're awfully calm. Do you not understand the magnitude of the situation? This is fucking Charity. the conniving b**** that once tried to break up my parents marriage.’’ I spoke feeling anger rise inside me.“ You need to understand that sending Taylor out there was our best option.” “This is not about options here Philip, this is about my mate. who is carrying my child. this is about the reckless decision that we have made to send her out to a powerful and dangerous
Taylor's POV It was the first time ever since my ordeal that I was leaving the Pack House. A lot of the Pack members have been caring and had left gifts at the pack house entrances. The doctor had told me that I needed to take care of myself and be less stressed. The truth is just that during this pregnancy I have really neglected myself. I was stressed about everything and anything. please have a tough time and I felt guilty for not being able to take care of my child well. as I walked through the Pack I noticed Philip on the other side watching me at a distance. I nodded my head giving him the recognition. some of the other warriors had been positioned at designated areas of the Pack watching me. Ryan was in his office talking to Alpha Michael, Alpha Luke and Alpha Mark about what had happened. Once I gave the go-ahead, then the Pack would be called to an emergency meeting where it would be announced that the alpha had finally given their support to Ryan. Surprisingly a lot of cal
“But my love, you have to rest.’’ Ryan insisted, trying to push me back into the bed gently. I understood that he felt guilty for what had happened to me but 3 days of bed rest was already enough. Alpha Joseph was going to attack the pack in less than 4 days now and Ryan knew nothing.“ I just want you to be okay.’’ he said politely, sitting on the bed giving up. I stared back at him. Every time I look at him I remember what he said to me. and it breaks my heart all over again.“ What happened to us?’’ I asked in a low tone sitting on the opposite side of the bed. He remained quiet. The tension in the room was heavy.“ I don't know.’’ his voice was low barely above a whisper. There was so much guilt and shame in his voice that it almost made me feel horrible. I felt like I was making him this way. But he has made a lot of mistakes and I still have not seen the real Ryan trying to surface. “ but I want to make it up to you. and I've been trying my best to show you just how sorry I am.
As we exited Philip's office, I could feel the eyes of pack members on us. Everyone had heard her screams and they had come to check up on her. somehow I suspected that both of them believed they had hurt her. The package was feeding me. They saw me as a monster. They saw me as a direct representation of my father. Even though I hated them for seeing me like this, I couldn't help but feel content that they would be ready to protect my maid even against me. “What happened to the queen?’’ one woman asked in a high-pitched voice. “Luna Taylor, are you okay?’’ a little kid about 5 or 6 years old as good as she tried to touch her amol I carried her through the people. the crowd of people only began to grow. each one of them murmuring and praying to the moon goddess that Taylor would be all right. Among the voices was a sample even asking whether I had hurt her. Another one said that the moon goddess was punishing me for the way I treated her. I wanted to silence my brain. I wanted to sil
While we all turned to look who it was, I couldn't help but clutch my stomach feeling overwhelmed by fear. I felt anxious. and I wondered whether alpha Joseph had decided to finally attack. We were unprepared. we were unguarded and no one would expect it. the traumatizing moments of when he and my father had kidnapped me into my mind. I felt the tears flowing from my eyes as I fell to my knees. “Alpha Ryan! What is the meaning of this!’’ Philip reprimanded Ryan as he stepped into the room with an ax in his hand. there was a sharp pain in my abdomen causing me to scream out in pain. all attention was turned to me. I felt as if my stomach was churning. I could feel the tears flowing from my eyes. it was as if everything else had quieted down. it was as if I was the only one in the world.“AAAHH!’’ I let out another scream feeling yet again the same search of pain in my abdomen. What the hell was going on? “Taylor.’’ Will someone call my name screaming my name? but I couldn't Place Wh
Over the past few days everything has been remarkably better. Ryan and I had not gotten the opportunity to talk about what happened. I avoided him while he tried apologizing. I was done with it. he had apologized enough times and none of the two seemed sincere. I had spent a lot of time among the people. providing food and upkeep while learning recipes from the older women in the pack. This was also my opportunity to try and learn as much as possible about the witches without asking people directly. I had gathered quite a reasonable amount of information. Everyone seems to have seen dust. There was a dark brown dust that had risen in the air the day before the battle and it came from the north side of the Pack territory. At first I had dismissed that information until I figured that more than enough people saw it. a bunch of people could not have hallucinated the same thing. they had to be credible to that story. I couldn't help but wonder whether the smoke was an indication that tha
Earlier today, Ryan's grandmother had summoned me into a room. She wanted us to talk about something. I knew what she wanted us to talk about, i didn’t want to talk about it but I still availed myself. and I wasn't wrong. “ Taylor my dear, I'm glad you could make it.’’ she said with a smile on her face as she stretched her arms welcoming me into an embrace. I did not hesitate, hugging her immediately as she held on to me much tighter than usual. Mrs Monroe had never called me into her room. I have only ever gone to her whenever I was troubled but after the meal I had shared with the pack members my heart had been feeling lighter and I was no longer so worried about everything.Ryan’s grandmother was sitting by the window and looking out at the pack grounds. Her expression was a mix of sadness and contemplation, as if she held the weight of the world on her shoulders. Sometimes I felt like she was lonely. sad. That is why I always took it upon myself to try and spend more time with h
