NADIA.
My eyes widened in awe at the sight of the pack house in front of me. It was larger than Katarina’s house. This one was L-shaped with four floors. I wondered how many people were living here. And I wondered if I would ever get a chance to stay here.
I hoped he wouldn’t send me away because I didn’t have anything with me. Where would I go? I could go to Katarina, but I was sure that once my uncle heard that I was back in the territory, he would come looking for me. And then, I would be in a deep shit again.
I needed to do something. Anything to save me.
It doesn’t matter if Alpha Riley wouldn’t want me around. I needed his mark on me.
"Follow me, Nadia. We need to talk. Alone." His cold voice snapped me out of my thoughts as my gaze darted to him. I swallowed the invisible lump in my throat. It felt so dry.
This was it. Judgment day.
"Just follow him. And if he scares you to the hilt, just run. I’ll just

RILEY.I watched as Nadia stormed off from my office without even throwing a glance at me. It left me in a foul mood.I also didn't appreciate my Beta flirting with her, so I had to remind him to back off. I hope he got the warning and stayed away from her because I would fucking castrate him if he made any move at her.My nose was still flaring with anger. I had no fucking idea if I was pissed off with Dominic or more with myself.What was I thinking when I blurted out that rejection? It was the last thing I wanted to do. My mark on her was my only link to her, and I never wanted to erase that bond. I wanted her.But the thought of her not wanting my mark pained me.What do I need to do so I can make her stay?If I ordered her to stay, then it would be another Andrea again. And I didn’t think I wanted to take the risk of her hating me. And it’s the biggest reason I was ready to reject her, so she could ha
RILEY. I thought Nadia would join us for late lunch, but my Beta said he sent food for her upstairs. Although I wanted to see her, it was better this way. I didn’t want her around with anyone at the moment until I got a chance to talk with her. Jake has already gone home. He did not want to stay later since he wanted to be home by midnight. He told me his Luna was pregnant and, although he trusted his Beta and Gamma, he never wanted to be away from her, especially at night. The fucker was still smitten with his Luna. If I based it on his track record before he got mated with Clair, I would never even guess he would end up being mated or loyal to one female. I wanted to get back at him and taunt him about the way he looked so fucking happy while talking about his Luna, but then I remembered Nadia. Maybe it was the same thing. I couldn’t explain the flutter in my chest when I saw her at the border today. It was like my body came
"In exchange…?" I repeated after her, eager to know what she wanted to have in return because if she wanted the whole universe, I would fucking get it for her. "Let me finish before you say no or ask questions, okay?" She smiled sheepishly at me and I just nodded my head. Again, she could tell and order me anything and I would try to do it without questions. "I want you to teach me how to drive a car…" She bit her bottom lip while looking at me. I understood when she told me to keep my mouth shut until she was done talking, but I couldn’t help it. "Drive a car? I can do that. Is that all?" "I want a car too. Not an expensive one. A used one is okay as long as it can take me where I want to go. Maybe you have an old car you can give me." I rubbed my thumb against my chin while I stood and stared at her. So far, her demands were nothing hard. If she became my Luna, she would have those and more. "And maybe a little mo
RILEY. "You left me after you feasted on my body." Her eyes narrowed at me, and I could see anger radiating through them. I cupped her face, making sure she didn’t drop her gaze away from me as my own eyes dilated into full black. "...fucking say that again, louder…" I was gritting my teeth hard. I was controlling myself from growling even if her words pissed me off. Did she just say I left her when it was her that was nowhere to be found in the cave when I woke up? Her forehead creased as her hands flew to the hands cupping her cheeks and started prying my fingers away from them. "You’re hurting me!" She snarled, and I let go of my hands in an instant. I was trying to control my voice so hard that I didn’t notice I was gripping her too hard. "I’m sorry…" My hands held her waist instead, and I lifted her up, shifting her body nicely so she would end up sitting on my lap facing me, my thighs in between her legs. Her eyes widened as I adjusted her position, but she didn’t com
RILEY. Nadia and I went down to eat dinner together after I helped her find a shirt and shorts from my closet that she could use. I had to draw the strings tightly on the shorts to keep them from falling, and I chose a black shirt so her nipples wouldn’t be visible. I knew no one was around, but the black shirt was more for me. I didn't think I would be able to keep a straight face while talking to her if I kept seeing her proud nipples against her shirt. I was glad I could have her to myself while we ate since everyone was done with their dinner. We talked about the packhouse, my Beta and Gamma, and the Gamma Female. I didn't want to press her about being the Luna, so I tried to keep the conversation light. And nothing about what she needed to do once she stepped up as my Luna. None of us tried to start the topic again about what happened three full moons ago, but I guess it was better that way. As long as she’s here, I could work on all the other th
NADIA. I couldn’t sleep. I knew my body was tired, but my mind wouldn’t shut down. I kept thinking about my mate. I swear, while he was showing me around the pack house, I couldn’t keep myself from yawning and I felt like I would fall asleep already and that was why Riley insisted that we head up so I could sleep. I was hoping he would invite me to his room, but he didn't. I wouldn't deny that I was disappointed, but what could I do? So here I was, alone in this room, trying to console myself by smelling his scent on the shirt I was wearing and hoping for sleep to take over. But the moment he left my room, I couldn’t relax anymore and sleep never came. I guessed having him around was calming for me and my wolf. And now that I couldn’t smell him, I found it hard to sleep in an unfamiliar place. Or perhaps it was because I had no idea what we were to each other at this point. We didn’t talk about it. So I
RILEY."Let me know if you’re ready to move into my pack so I can initiate you. It will be easier for me to reach you if I can mindlink you.""Okay. But can we do it tomorrow? I really don't have energy now, and they say it would hurt if a pack bond breaks.""It will, but it's not that painful. But if you feel it is too much, I can take the pain for you. You just need to channel it to me. " I then raised a finger and tapped the mark on her neck gently. "This one here will let you share your pains with me. You just need to learn how to open your emotions."Her forehead creased as she shook her head. "There's no way I will give you any of my pains. That is ridiculous!"I chuckled before cupping her neck, brushing off the stray hairs clinging to her skin before running my thumb over her mark. "I’m an Alpha. There’s no pain that I can’t handle."She rolled her eyes before her lips twitched into a grin. "I
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

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
