NADIA.
"Goodnight, Riley. I will see you tomorrow." I closed the door with a heavy heart and leaned my back against it, closing my eyes as I let disappointment wash over me.
I was hoping he would ask me to sleep in his room or if he could sleep in mine. But he didn’t. He was just my mate. He was forced into this bond by the Goddess. But his heart certainly still belonged to someone.
Andrea. I wonder what she looked like. Maybe I could find a picture of her somewhere here.
Arrow snarled at me in my head and kept reminding me that I promised we would try to make the Alpha fall in love with us, but it wasn’t even day one and I was already giving up.
I ignored her. But my persistent wolf started flashing images of me and Riley curled up in bed, sleeping peacefully together. It wasn’t lewd images, but definitely, enough to make my heart and my pussy clench.
Arrow was right. I have two months to make my move. And
Here's the last one for tonight. Thank you for waiting and reading! Don't forget to leave us some gems, comments, and reviews to help the book get noticed! P.S. For those waiting for Beta Paul's novel (In The Arms of My Alpha), I will be updating today as well - but it might take another hour or two until I finish editing. So please bear with me. THANK YOU AGAIN! ♡ To my 'ladybugs everywhere' girl Abegail M. I hope you didn't mind that I used your words.♡
RILEY. My eyes squinted before I was able to fully open them. I was still trying to get my senses back when I remembered what happened last night, and my heart thudded loudly as I snapped my head to the right side looking for Nadia. Was she gone? Was it a dream? My heart clenched at the empty space beside me, only to be surprised when something moved on my chest. I was laying on my back and I slowly titled my head downward and saw black hair spread out all over my torso before I realized that sparks were playing around everywhere in my body. A smile slowly formed on my lips as I lifted my arms and coiled them around the female sleeping soundly on top of me. Her legs were spread open and caging my thighs while her hands were on my chest just below where her cheek was resting. And my dick was raging hard. It must be from my sleep. No, that was a fucking lie. I could feel her naked core pressed against the skin just above
NADIA. Although I was upset with the picture I saw in Riley's room, I couldn't be angry with him. For starters, the female could be his sister or a relative. It just made me realize that I knew nothing about him. But then, I hadn't even been here for 24 hours yet, so I shouldn’t have expected that he would tell me everything in his life in the few hours that we spent together. Second, if that female was Andrea, should I really be upset? Or should I be thankful that she chose another Alpha and left Riley alone, giving me a shot of having him for myself? Because I was certain that if Adrea was still here, I'd be spending my days in the cell, or worse, back with my uncle, rejected and unmarked. So maybe I should be celebrating that Andrea isn’t around here anymore. But if there was anything I wanted to know, it was who Andrea was and where she stood in his life right now. But then again, it would all go back to the fact tha
RILEY. I had no idea today would be so much better than it already was. I woke up with Nadia sprawled out on top of me as if she belonged there like she owned every part of me. Well, she did, she just didn’t know it yet. But soon, I wanted her to know she owned every part of me and I would do everything in my power to make her stay and be mine for eternity. I smiled despite myself as a flashback of this morning came in. I had to drag Jenny, my Gamma Female to help me with ironing her clothes. I had never, for the life of me, used this thing. My clothes were washed and pressed by an Omega female who comes in twice a week, so this thing wasn’t really part of my routine, but for some reason, I wanted to do it for her. This female was turning me into her slave without her knowing it. And then I talked with Darvin this morning and told him about Nadia. And the fucker laughed at me. It reached him that when Nadia returned to his territory days ago, she was already marked, but he had no
NADIA. Riley welcomed me into his pack with a bang, and I couldn’t get enough of it. I had no plans to mark him, but when he said I could bite him anywhere, I guessed my inner desire surfaced, and I was happy that he didn’t stop me from doing it. I didn't know if he noticed, but I wanted to stake my claim and mark my territory. But if anything, he looked happy about it. I couldn’t forget the way his eyes were twinkling as he brushed the hair off my face after I marked him and after we shared a kiss. If I based it on his expression, I would assume that my mate liked me too. And I wish I was right. We just finished buying clothes for me, and although I was insisting on buying a few pieces of each, my mate was adamant about buying more. I couldn’t keep track of all the costs, but I was hoping if the contract continued, he would not deduct them from the money I was asking from him because he bought a lot today. It was probably mor
RILEY."Do you love her, Riley?" She asked me without looking at me, and I knew the answer right away."I don’t," I answered coldly, not really liking this conversation at all."Liar." She hissed at me."I told you I don't lie.""Then tell me about her." She tilted her body in my direction, her eyebrow raised as she mocked me with her eyes. "There's nothing to tell. She's part of the past, Nadia. Let it go.""I want to know everything about her.""What's the point? She's gone.""I want to know everything about her! Don't make me say that again.""What the fuck for? I don't ask you about your past. Or anyone in your life. So can we just move on...""Because I have nothing to tell you! I never had a man in my life! Oh, I have! I forgot! Let me tell you about him! This man saw me when I was seventeen, and he was forty-five years old! And he decided he wanted me as his mate! That evil man would visit me every time he could, and he would look at me like he was undressing me every single ti
Nadia was jealous. With Andrea. My heart jumped over my chest at the thought of my mate harboring feelings for me, but it didn’t change the fact that I was still not ready to tell her about Andrea yet. I didn’t think she would be able to accept that part of me knowing I was the same as the man she was running from. But I wanted to give it another try at winning her over. ‘Can we talk now?’ I finally sent her a mindlink when Hunter told me that he and Arrow were ready to give us back control. ‘I’m shifting back, but tell Hunter not to hurt me.’ Her voice sounded scared, and I found it adorable. My wolf might be angry with her, but he would never hurt her unless he marked her again. In an instant, Nadia shifted into her human form in front of my wolf, naked. A low rumble vibrated from Hunter’s chest, and it made Nadia move back, but before she could turn around to run, Hunter laid down on the ground once more and lowe
NADIA. I didn’t know how long I stayed wrapped up in Riley’s arms as we hugged each other under the tree. I couldn’t stop sobbing. My heart was so full of love for him, and I wanted to tell him that, but I didn’t have the courage. Not yet. But one day, I will. One step at a time. For now, it was enough that he said he wanted me here with him. Because there’s nothing in the world I want more right now than to be with him. I felt his hand brush against my hair as he pressed our bodies closer, his warmth mixing with mine and his musky scent swirling around me. I could get used to this. "Hey, stop crying… I hate it when I make you cry." His voice was so soothing and calming. Too far from the Riley I was talking to in the car earlier. "It’s not a bad cry. I’m just happy." "Yeah?" He asked as he let go of his arms around me. I slowly pulled away from him, wiping my tears with the back of my hand as I nodded my head. "Am I making you happy? I’m only good at giving shit to people…"
NADIA. "So, should we plan a Luna Ceremony soon?" Beta Dominic asked, and my heart hammered in my chest. I was so cozy wrapped up in Riley’s arm but the moment he asked it, I felt cold water being poured over me. "No! No Luna Ceremony, please." I blurted out, my brows furrowing. Not that I didn’t want to. There was nothing in the world I would rather be than claimed and owned by my Alpha, but I wanted to do it the right way. Although Riley told me he wanted me here, I wasn’t sure for how long. I wasn’t even sure if what he wanted right now was enough to make him fall in love with me. I didn’t want the Luna title if it meant giving it up someday for someone else. I didn’t think I had the heart for it. And there’s also Andrea looting in the air. His people knew Andrea was supposed to be his Luna. I didn’t want to just come and be given the title without knowing who I was. I have to let his peo

12 YEARS AFTER THE LUNA CEREMONY RILEY. "Zach, come here." My firm voice echoed in the cemetery as Zach walked toward us with a solemn expression on his face. Just by the sound of my voice, he knew I was upset with him. He sat down in front of me and Nadia, crossing his legs and sitting on them as he clasped his hands together before locking eyes with mine. That was one thing I taught my son, to look me in the eyes whenever I talked with him. "Explain why you shouted at Amber earlier," I asked him, my forehead creasing. We just came from Caspian and Andrea’s twins’ 10th birthday party. The whole time, we saw Zach tease and taunt Amber, which was not his usual behavior. But we didn’t mind. Zach has always behaved, except whenever Amber was around. And Caspian’s little princess never backed down and would always fight back whenever Zach attempted to annoy her. And all the time they would make a fuzz, we just let it slide because, at the end of the day, they would still be attached
EIGHT YEARS LATER.RILEY."Harder! Please! Oh yes! More!" Nadia was whimpering under my hold, and I obliged. My hand was gripping her hips tightly as I grunted while I pounced into her. She was a temptress. I woke up with her mouth on my dick, giving me pleasure that only she could provide, before demanding I fuck her as payback for my early treat. And I was more than willing to pay."Nadia... Fuck!" I groaned, my mouth pressed against her hair. Her sweet scent combined with the smell of her arousal was giving me an ultimate high. Like my own personal fucking drug.I was having the best time of my life when a sudden movement from outside our room caught my ears. And then soft knocks came.Nadia was so lost in ecstasy, and that was probably the reason she didn’t hear the soft knocks. Soon, I caught a whiff of Nikka, my youngest twin daughter. She was the one behind the door.Shit! I didn’t want to stop fucking Nadia. I could feel her on the brink of her release. We were standing, her
The Luna Ceremony. NADIA. My union ceremony with Riley as well as my Luna Ceremony just ended an hour ago. The ballroom was now buzzing with guests from almost all the packs that we had an alliance with. Some of the Lunas I had met, but there were new faces as well. But most importantly, Katarina was here. With her very own Alpha. I watched with happiness overwhelming my heart as my best friend danced gracefully in the arms of the man she wanted and, eventually, the one she ended up with. She had a tough ride, but she made it through. If there was anyone who deserved happiness, it was the female who stood up for me all these years. The only female who made me feel important even when I had nothing to offer her back. "They looked good together…" Riley’s warm and comforting breath fanned through over my neck as he brushed his lips against my skin, bringing tingles and sparks that only he could give me. His arm coiled around my body as I turned around and snuggled into him while my a
ALPHA DARVIN. "Where do you think you’re going?" Katarina’s voice reached my ears as I was about to step out of the packhouse. She must have descended the stairs and caught my scent. I spun around, a wide grin on my face as I looked at my sister, who was approaching with her eyebrows hiked up as she looked at me from head to toe. "Are you wearing a perfume?" She asked. "Does it smell bad?" I answered almost immediately. "No. It actually smells nice but… just wondering why?" I couldn’t blame her for her curiosity. Werewolves emit scents that are simply attractive to other wolves, and a special scent just for their mate, so there was simply no need to shower in perfume. Unless, of course, your mate happens to be human and would not be able to scent your special scent. "Oh Goddess, did you brush up your hair and clean your face too?" Katarina came forward and cupped my face. "Darvin, are you okay?" I chuckled as I held her palms and withdrew them from my cheeks. "Do I look good?"
ALPHA DARVIN. After thinking about it for months, I finally had the courage to dial her number. My wolf, Titan, was getting weaker, and I was getting restless. We wanted to at least hear her voice, even if it was for the last time. After three rings, she picked up her mobile phone, and her sweet voice was like music to my ears. "Hello…" I said I just wanted to hear her voice, but I couldn’t find it in me to drop the call. I would wait until she does. A few seconds had gone by and she was still on the line and I could hear her breathing. "Hello…" She said it one more time before she let out a deep sigh, and I knew she would be dropping the phone call soon. "Is this Celeste?" I didn’t know what got into me. All I knew was that I suddenly didn’t like the idea of her hanging up. "Yes. Who’s this?" But her voice sounded chirpier this time. "This is Darvin… I’m not sure if you remember me, but I am…" "Darvin… Riley’s friend…" She cut me off, and I don’t know why, but I could pictur
NADIA."What time are Bella and Trent coming?" I asked Ellie for the nth time, and she giggled again, as she did earlier. "I don’t know. Why don't you believe me?" "She’s your twin. I’m sure she tells you everything." I answered her. We were all planning to visit the cemetery today, but we haven’t heard of Bella and Trent if they were already on their way here."Well, not anymore. We don’t talk about sex and stuff, and I think that’s what Bella and Trent have been doing mostly these days." Her eyes were squinting as she laughed heartily the moment she saw her brother’s head snapped up to look at her with an annoyed expression on his face.We were eating lunch in the dining room. Only the three of us were around since Sebastian and Jenny were eating lunch with their mothers. Dominic was out somewhere for work and Dawson was on the training grounds.After Zahra and Leandro’s deaths, the twins moved out of Atlanta and transferred directly into the territory, and were initiated into the
BETA DOMINIC. I was on the other side of the territory with Alpha Riley when Gamma Sebastian’s message came. He stated that he had granted Sofia permission to enter the territory and that she was on her way to the packhouse. My mind went into a haze. She was not supposed to be traveling at a time like this. Since the incident with Zahra, all of the Alphas in the area have agreed to only travel with females when absolutely necessary. And having her travel without Alpha Darvin with her didn’t sit well with me. "Alpha," I called for my Alpha’s attention. "Hmmm..." he replied before turning his gaze on me. "Do you think you’ll be fine if I leave you alone here? Sofia is on her way to the packhouse with just Alpha Darvin’s men with her." "What the fuck is she doing here?" I shrugged my shoulders before I brushed my hand over my hair. "I had no fucking idea." "Go then. I’ll just wrap it up here and tell Nadia I’ll be home soon after." I cocked my head to the side in submission befo
NADIA. The packhouse was still gloomy, but it was swarming with warriors today. Riley has stepped up the security within the packhouse and around the territory. The vast neutral forest connecting Alpha Caspian and Alpha Darvin’s territories with us was now rounded up by warriors from all three packs. There was already security before, but it wasn’t as established as it is now. After breakfast, Riley stayed in his office with Alpha Aeon. The Alpha arrived early this morning to pay respect to Zahra, and they’ve been discussing something behind closed doors. Only the Beta and the Gamma were allowed inside, and even Jenny had no idea what was going on. But I wasn’t worried. I knew Riley would let me know once we had our time alone. I was relieved that at least he was moving around and discussing things rather than being stuck in one place. Not that he was not allowed to mourn Zahra, but I didn’t want him to feel that he hadn’t made Zahra happy, because I knew that even in the short ti
