Ryker.
As soon as I stepped into the pack grounds that night I instantly knew something was wrong.
Usually, I kept the patrol of the pack grounds to my enforcers but today was their day off they deserved it; this week had been long and grueling. Fending off vampires from the border wasn’t exactly a pastime of mine but it still had to be done.
I opted to do it alone but Tao, the head enforcer of my pack; ever the work alcoholic accompanied me.
I don't exactly know why I wanted to take on the patrol work today, maybe it was because I missed the feeling of the chilly night breeze caressing my skin and ruffling my hair or it was because I missed my nightly runs. Either way I just wanted to get out of the confines of the house this night.
A few minutes after I started the familiar patrol formation I caught a strong metallic scent in the air and I very well knew what t
Ryker.I leaned towards the door pulling the latch backwards as the door swung open and the woman climbed into the car shutting it."Who is behind you" I asked watching her as I took note of the look on her face."Vampires," she drew out a shaky breath.I looked up past the windows to see black shapes moving towards the car. I could count five, maybe six of them getting closer and closer.I could take them out if I wanted to but I had to think of Tao and the woman’s safety, six vampires would be difficult for wolf to take down even if it was a Beta as skilled as Tao.Tao swerved the car round and the backlight of the car flickered to life as the vampires withdrew, slinking away from the light hissing violently. He gunned the car which shot forward and out of the place. The vampires knew better than to go after the car, they'd be heading right into wo
Ava.I jerked awake; my eyes hurting as I clutched my throat gasping for air, choking, as I tried to draw air into my lungs.I beat around me, my hands trashing the air as I fought something unseen before returning my hands back to my throat, the unseen grip that was wrapped around it still choking me.It took me a few seconds to realize I wasn't in a dream any more but in a room. I calmed down after knowing this.The suffocating feeling I had experienced earlier was gone and I drew lungfuls of air into my body.As I sat on the bed breathing in and out I couldn't remember what the dream had been. Only one memory stood out to me and that was a blade running across my neck.I moved my hands to my neck and touched it, there was a faint scar running from one end of my neck to the other end. I didn't know if I could link the scar with the dream I just had; problem was I couldn't remember how this scar got to my neck.What had happened to me?Why couldn't I remember who I was, what my past l
Ryker.Zane? Who the fuck was Zane and why had she been mentioning his name that way with so much affection. It disturbed me a great deal that she would mention another guy’s nameright before she kissed me. In a way I was mad with myself for feeling…jealous.I barely knew this woman and yet here I was feeling like crap just because she has called out another man's name. Did this Zane know she was here?I found it funny that the fact she had mentioned another man's name seemed to be more in my mind than the fact she had stumbled into my room and seen my nakedness.I couldn't shake the look I caught in her eyes at the moment she set her eyes on my cock. In a way I felt weirdly satisfied, I liked her expression at that moment; awe and shock.It could be summarized to mean she had never seen anything quite like mine."Are you listening to me
Ava. The fact that I couldn’t remember much of who I was starting to freak me out. Occasionally I would have flashes of names, scenes, places I couldn’t even remember and feelings I was certain I had experienced at some part of my life which I had no memory of. The creepiest part of everything was the dreams. The dreams woke me up with a suffocating feeling. Breathing after I had one of them always proved to be a monumental task. I didn’t know what was happening or what must have caused the memory loss but I was really eager to get my memories back. Someway, anyway. That’s why I had woken up today and decided to ask for help. If there was something I could do to try and get my memories back, even a sliver of my past then I had to do it. The three names I had just called out to Ryker were the ones prominent in my head, they clouded my thoughts like a plague and each time I tried to recollect who those names belonged to or what
Ava. I couldn't get what Ryker told me off my mind neither could I sleep. Every time I tried I kept seeing images of that hole and Ryker pointing, telling me I had somehow crawled out of there. It was impossible to think I had done so, I had seen the depth of that hole and it shocked me to think I had actually dug myself out of there. How had I even gotten into a grave in the first place? I could remember nothing of what must have made me to end up in a hole as deep as that. I sighed, rubbing at my face as I looked around me in the dimly lit room the only light coming from the night lamp close to me. The dreams were intensifying, the occasional flash of memories, faces and thoughts I couldn't remember was becoming worse. I glanced at the clock on the wall ahead of me. Three a.m. I let out a tired breath. I wasn’t getting enough sleep because of
Ryker.I sat in my chair watching the meeting proceedings as it took place i could barely focus on anything that was being said. Occasionally some words filtered into my ear but asides that nothing elseI was completely focused on something else my memory locked unto the kiss from last night.Goddess, this woman, Ava, was doing to him things he thought he grown past; slowly she was starting to get under his skin, plaguing his thoughts like an epidemic of some sort.Yesterday had been one of those days; days when he had been caught in the crossfire between his werewolf and vampire side. He had spent half an hour battling them both as they fought inside him like vicious animals.The fits came and went occasionally but none of them had been as violent as the one of yesterday had been. It angered me to know that even after so many years I hadn't fully gotten a grip on the va
RykerThe shrill burr sound of my phone on top of the nightstand close to my bed and the vibration of the wood dragged me from sleep.I groaned, stretching my arms as I tried to reach for the phone, my fingertips knocking against the wood before they settled on the phone.I grabbed it and pressed the receiver, putting the phone to my ears."There better be a godamn good reason why you decided to call me by three am on a Saturday night. You know I sleep in late and I don't need disturbance" I growled into the phone."It's bad actually. They are here again.""Spill, who is here?""The vampires but this time there seems to be a little bit of a problem.""Again spill" I snapped. Clearly the irritation of being woken up from my beauty sleep hadn't worn off me yet."I can sm
Ava Fuck. I dabbed at the blood that was seeping from my neck in slow and steady trickles wondering my Hy my healing powers hadn't kicked in yet. Surprisingly I didn't even know where the cut had come from. One minute ineqs fine and the next minute when I touched my neck I could feel a warm sensations fille my hands after I had taken it away from my neck. The most peculiar part about the whole thing was that it wasn't healing. Our kind had no problem with healing, so I couldn't understand why mine wasn't taking effect. I took another cotton wool in my failed attempt to control the flow of blood and dabbed at my neck. Releasing another frustrated sigh I tossed the blooded wool into the trash and folded my arms in my laps. The dreams hadn't come today and even thought I knew I should he happy they hadn't plagued me today I was still suspicious. I was a strong believer of the saying the calm before a storm do I was still wary why the dream hadn't come. The names were still in my he
AVA.I just sat there in shock staring at Cade who looked back at me with n nothing but coldness in his eyes. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.“You?” I said disbelieving what I was seeing.He said nothing but kept on watching me no expression on his face, nothing.“Cade here would be responsible for the final process of your death. He is going to inject his blood into you and from there we can proceed with what needs to be done.I closed my eyes refusing to believe that was I was seeing was true, refusing to believe that Rykers brother wasn’t just standing I front of me about to lend a hand to tis witches on my own death.“Please let me go “I said opening g my eyes, fighting back the tears that were threatening to spill through.“I’m afraid that isn’t an option” Eve hissed.Miriam gave a nod and the two women close to me bent a
AVAI just stared back at Eve noting the way her eyes shone like she had just won the lottery.“Did you hear me Ava; I said I’m going to have Ryker kill you.”Of course I heard her but I didn’t want to acknowledge what she had just said. I didn’t want to show her the fear that was coursing through my body.“Why?” was all I could say as my brain wrapped around what Eve had just said.“That’s a good question. Miriam must have told you that she does not have any personal vendetta against you but I don’t want you to believe what she says for even a second, I do have a personal vendetta against you”Eve paused and paced around me her footsteps making thumping nooses in the floor of the cell.“I don’t know what gave you the audacity to think that you could just waltz into Ryker's life and suddenly act lovey dovey with him. When I’m done punishing you, you’ll never have a taste of what isn't yours.”“Ryker doesn’t belong to you; he has the right to chose whom he should remain with.”I knew I
AVA. For some reason whatever Eve had put into my body was preventing me from using my wolf powers. The more I remained in the darkness of the cell the weaker and weaker I got. Occasionally Eve would come in and taunt me while I kept quiet and just listened without saying a word. I was more interested on what I was going to do, what steps I was going to take to make sure that I escaped from her clutches without any harm. What she said yesterday still haunted me, echoing in my head like some sort of phantom bell. If Eve and Miriam were indeed serious about creating this so called witch hybrid that they talked about it meant that they had to kill me first in order for the spell to work. Apparently I had a mate somewhere who wasn’t dead and as long as I lived it posed a problem to the spell. Yet something kept bugging me at the back of my head. If I had a mate, how come he had a child without me and how come the both of us had been separated? Now that I was alone in the cell and tho
I was starting to get restless now and with each minute that passed I could feel myself getting more and more angry. It had been two hours since Cade had left the pack in search of Ava and I haven't heard anything from him. All my attempts to reach him had all proved abortive. Grimacing, I rubbed my hands on my face trying to quell the shift that was beginning in me whenever I got angry. "Relax Alpha if Cade is true to his words them we only have to trust him and wait for now" I knew Tao was trying to get me to calm down but his words only seemed to agitate me even more. "It's been hours, he hasn't called back or said anything. If you were in my position you'd feel the same." "Maybe there is traffic," Tao offered. I threw him a murderous glance and Tao raised his hands in surrender. "Fine, I give up on cheering you up." I took a deep breath once again trying to calm down the beast that was fast rising within me feeding on my restlessness and anger and felt it subside. "There
AvaI stare shell shocked at the woman in front of me. From the silver color of her hair to the harsh black of her eyes and as she looked at me, I knew instantly that I could recognize that face."You?""Yes, me in body and soul" she chuckled."You know I'm quite surprised that you can remember who I am although Eve here tells me that you somehow lost your memories."I could member her quite alright, images of a pack flash behind my eyes, of me walking with this woman beside me talking and laughing. There was another woman walking close to us but the memory was hazy. I couldn't picture the other woman clearly."I find it very interesting that you are not able to remember most of the people who you were very close to before your death and yet you can remember me.""Are…are you not a wolf?" If she was in my memory just now. In the pack I had just remembered then she had to be a wolf.Miriam drew away from me a huge grin on her face."I stayed a while in your pack but that dosnet mean I
I opened my eyes to a steady clinking sound that seemed to grow louder with each second. I was aware of a floating sensation and when I looked below me I could see my feet were scuffing against the ground below me.The clinking sound that persevered was coming from the chains that held my legs steadfast. I felt arms under my armpit and looked to my side to see two figures dragging me forward, one on each side of my arms. In front of me was Eve moving forward, what looked like a blow torch in her hands.There was a faint ringing sound in my ears and I still felt dizzy. I just lay there limp in the hands of the two figures who are dragging me forward.A dull throbbing pain follows in my head as I crane my.neck to the aude to see where we were. All I can see is dark
"Alpha!" I jerk awake in bed instantly alert my eyes, noting two things in the semi-darkness of my room. Ava's spot on the bed is empty, the door of the room is halfway open like someone had left in a hurry intent on not making a noise and had forgotten to close the door. "Alpha!" Tao called out through his mind link,his voice barging into my thoughts. "What is it Tao?" I grumbled angry that he was using the mindink to wake me up. "We have a problem, multiple problems" I was distracted by Tao's words as part of me wondered where the hell Ava was. "
AvaI opened my eyes softly instantly feeling something perched at the base of my chest. I looked down to see Rykers arm draped across me in a sort of protective hold.I smiled as I turned to look at him, noting the way his hair fell to his face in dark curls, the dark outline of his stubble.His breathing was soft, almost like a caress against my skin.I remained like that staring at him for a few seconds before I leaned in and planted a kiss on his forehead. Ryker groaned and turned around taking a part of the bed sheet with him, the contours of his butt exposed to me.The memory of our intimacy came back to me afresh and I felt my body start to respond. It was funny that just remembering his touch was enough to spark within me a fresh wave of desire.I rolled out of bed and got to my feet draping a towel I usually kept close to my bed around my naked body and w
Ava."Have you been fucked bound to a rope before" Ryker whispered hungrily into my ears.I could feel the lust oozing from his words, the way his body trembled as he fought for self control and the way he was slowly losing the battle."I haven't, " I mummered almost hungrily keeping myself in position refusing to move any inch of my body lest I awaken desires so deep within it.Ryker was pressed against me, the contours of his body pressing up against every inch of mine. I could feel his erection that was straining against his pants press against my midsection, his hands that were wrapped around the small of my back ensured that I was lodged firmly against him."Then consider this a new experience" he whispered, stopping just short of my neck to place a gentle kiss there as my body awakened to his touch, every single cell in my being alert.Ryker scooped me into his arms as easily as one would lift a baby and turned towards the bed. He dropped me gently as soon as he reached it and w
