Ryder's POVI placed my legs on my stirrups and was about to lift myself onto my horse when it suddenly came to me that Aria did not know how to mount a horse. I quickly left mine and rushed to Aria's side to help her but then saw that she was already on the horse. "What's the matter, Ryder?" she asked with a smile that displayed her perfect milk white teeth as she turned to me. "Is there any problem?" "No, not really," I said, smiling as I slowly shook my head. "I thought your climbing the horse was going to be like yesterday.""Oh," Aria said as her cheeks flushed. She grabbed onto the reins of her horse and shrugged as she said, "I guess riding the gentle beast once made me accustomed to it. I really am actually a fast learner.""Yeah," I said, a soft chuckle escaping my lips as I stared at Aria. "You... you really are, aren't you?" Aria kept her eyes on mine for a few seconds before blushing again. She tucked a stray strand of her hair neatly behind her ears and shrugged again.

RYDER'S POVWe had ridden pass the open road and we're now on the winding path that delved deeper into the forest. The morning sun pierced through the canopies of trees above us, it's rays scattering all across the ground and giving the forest this serene look.I turned to Aria and saw that she was so lost taking in the beauty of the forest. I couldn't blame her though. The first time my father brought me here, I had the same exact reaction."Beautiful, isn't it?" I asked Aria with a smile as I turned back to the path ahead of us. I felt Aria's gaze shift to me as a small sigh escaped her lips."It is really beautiful," Aria muttered under her breath, her voice soft. "Why didn't we take this path the first time we were having our breakfast picnic?" "Well, that's because this path that I am on leads to a place that is very sacred for me," I said with a smile as I turned back to Aria. "And I actually considered it too sacred for me to actually bring you here. But... I change my mind no

Aria's POVTwo months flew by faster than the wind on a summer eve and as it did, so did the bond that I and the Lycan King shared. If someone was to walk into the dining room at this moment ,they would have found the strangest sight ever - I, seated right beside King Ryder in the dinning room, having dinner with the alpha while we laughed as we discussed a conversation that was not suitable for the mildly spicy food we were eating, a topic that caused us to burst out occasionally in laughter. The night was calm and the weather was cold but thanks to the long sleeve pajama I wore, I couldn't feel much of the chill the night wind brought. Our laughter also aided me in forgetting any other discomfort I could have felt due to the cold. Not to far from where we sat was a fireplace though, one I was still grateful for, regardless of the cold I felt.A part of me knew that I would have been out here shivering like I had just been bathed with ice if not for that very fireplace. "I can nev

Aria's POV She placed a hand on my stomach then gasped loudly. "I was right." She turned to Ryder. "You cannot mate this wolf, Alpha Ryder, for she... she is pregnant."I chuckled lightly in disbelief. "What? That's impossible," I said to her, my tone carrying lifelessness. How could that even be so when I have not been mated with before, neither have I been in bed with Ryder. I shook my head, this woman didn't know what she was talking about.Noticing my discomfort, Ryder stepped to my defense. "I'm sure there must be a mistake, seer. Aria... Luna Aria, has not been mated to anyone before now and I've not even slept with her. You must be highly mistaken," Ryder said to her, keeping her away from me."Do you choose to doubt the eyes of the goddess for a wolf who has betrayed you, Alpha Ryder?" the seer replied rhetorically."No, no, I'm just saying that there must be some sort of mistake," Ryder said, disbelief and shock written all over his tone. "The very goddess that you serve is

Aria's POV"Food," I heard someone say from behind the door and I stood from my bed. I walked over to the door and opened it. I then looked to the ground and saw a small plate wrapped in tin foil. I made to pick up the plate when one of the two guards standing beside my door spoke. "Don't try to run like you did last time, Luna Aria," he said as he turned his head slightly to face me. His face was blank and deviod of any emotion. He gripped tight the spear in his hands and said, "King Ryder ordered that I make sure you are not able to do so again if you do." I didn't know what to say to the guard. If he had said this kind of thing to me four days ago, he would have been picked up and thrown into the dungeon, never to see the light of day again. But now, he could say all of these without receiving as much as a scolding. I didn't take it to heart though. Ryder had been like that for the past three days now so it really wasn't surprising. What was surprising though was how fast everyt

London's POVI stood facing the fireplace as different thoughts ran through my mind. Elsa sat on the couch on the other side, her maidservants attending to her calls. As they massaged her feet, she began recounting to me all that she had encountered in her visit to the neighboring pack. "... and can you believe that bitch of a Luna told me that it wasn't in my place to ask her when she got mated to her alpha," Elsa continued as she let out a loud scoff. I turned to face her and watched as she collected the glass of wine held by one of her maidservants in a tray. After bringing it's rim to her lips and taking a sip, she dropped the glass of wine back on the tray and continued with her storytelling. "I held so strongly the urge to give her a slap and just decided to walk away," she said with a chuckle as she licked her teeth. "But not after telling her the one thing that causes her to be so shook she ran to her alpha in tears."I smiled, my hands moving from my back to my pocket as I

London’s POV"Alpha London," the person outside the room called again as I walked towards the door. A knock sounded on the wooden frame and another call came again. "Alpha London--" The person's call was immediately cut short as I aggressively opened the door, a small growl escaping my lips in the heat of the moment. "What the fuck is it?" I shouted as I looked down at the maidservant that stood in front of me. Gina, the young maidservant, trembled, her whole body shaking vehemently as she stared into my dark eyes. "A-a... a m-message, Al-alpha London," she managed to say after a short pause, her voice barely above a whisper. She extended a shaky hands, her gaze brought down to avoid mine. I looked down at her hands and saw that she held a sealed envelope. "Who is it from?" I asked the young maidservant as I studied the insignia on the seal that had been used on the envelope. It wasn't one that I knew of and I wasn't sure I wanted to disturb myself over something that wasn't of imp

London's POVI looked outside the window of our carriage, my eyes counting the trees as I adjusted myself on my seat. I felt on edge and anticipation filled my being. We had already been riding for more than three hours now. When were we going to get there? "If I had known, we would have taken the car," I mumbled to Elsa as I turned to face her. I made to continue talking but then paused after seeing that her face was turned to the window. I stayed still, watching as she stared at the passing scenery with a distant look in her eyes. It was obvious that she was lost in thoughts as her eyes reflected the changing landscape outside. My eyes traveled down her neck to the top of her breasts that had stuck out of her tight dress and I watched as they moved up and down while she breathes. I was moved to touch them but then stopped after sighting a small stain on her neck. A small bruise had appeared on Elsa's neck as a result of the altercation that we not too long ago. I sighted it when

Ryder’s POV“Hudson!!!" I growled as I stood from my hiding place. My voice boomed across the valley, echoing off the cliffs as I emerged from our hiding place, my daughter cradled safely in my arms. "You're fucking doomed." Hudson's expression twisted into a mix of surprise, anger and confusion as he saw me. The reality of what was happening then hit him as he saw my warrior wolves jumping out of the shadows and rushing out towards he and his guards. It took a lot of fighting and the loss of some of my warriors but we were finally able to bring down all of Hudson's wolves and also subdue him. As they chained him too, I walked over to him, holding my daughter close to my chest."Hudson," I said, my voice filled with disappointment as I stared at him. "All the while you showed me evil, I trusted you like a brother. Only to have you betray me by attacking me and kidnapping my daughter." Hudson didn't give me a reply as he glared at me with rage in his eyes. I could see that he had no

Ryder's POV"I.. I actually am happy that you've finally coke back to me," Aria said as she smiled for the first time since our son's adoption. I still marveled at how perfect her teeth were. "And I am happier that you took my back," I replied, extending my hands to her. As I caressed it, I stared into her eyes and smiled. "I really, really am happy." The entire room seemed to be light up as Aria softly laughed. It was a sound I so much missed.Suddenly, her smile dissipated, a slight frown replacing it. I squeezed her hands softly and scooted closer to her. I didn't need anyone to tell me why her mood had changed. "Do not worry, Aria. I would comb the breadth and depth..." I was cut short by a loud knock on the door. Laying kisses on her forehead, I got up from.the bed and walked to the door. "Who is it?" I asked, a hint of frustration in my voice as I placed my hands on the doorknob. "It's Harold, Prince Ryder," came a familiar voice. I grunted and opened the door to see who it w

Desiree's POVI quickly collected the horse from Jason, ignoring the questions he was asking me. Quickly, I mounted the horse and whipped the reins, causing it to sprint out of the compound. I quickly turned my horse down the path that I knew led to the small shed Hudson had gone to. I kept on whipping my horse, not wanting to waste any time. I needed to get there fast if I really wanted my plans to work.It didn't take too long for me as I finally took notice of a familiar row of sunflower along the pathway I rode. It has been planted a year earlier by some servants as instructed by Hudson. It had started drizzling, but the ray of sunshine remained firm and colourful. I recalled the stores told to me when I was little that when such was happening, it meant the moon goddess was punishing a pack for sins that they had committed towards her. I didn't believe sigh anymore. I finally reached the small gate leading to the shed and saw a guard standing by it. He sighted me and quickly wi

Desiree's POVMy heart raced as I rushed through the compound gate. I needed to inform Ryder about my findings.I quickly surveyed the surrounding path, and after seeing no one, I moved towards the palace. I had not notified anyone about me leaving that mansion and I knew if Hudson was to learn about that, he would be suspicious of me. I didn't want to drag any attention to me so I reduced my pace, walking stealthily into the mansion. It wasn't until I overheard a maidservants telling the other that Hudson had ridden to his shed in the woods that I finally relaxed. As I walked, I thought of what would happen once I told Ryder the good news I held for him. I wasn't too concerned about what he would do though. I was much more concerned about what Aria would do. She had promised me that she would pack and leave the moment her stupid child was found and that was what I expected from her. If she did, I'd finally have Ryder to myself. Upon arriving at the palace, I received the referenc

Desiree's POV"We were ambushed and... they kidnapped my daughter," Ryder explained to me, his voice cracking a bit. I could hear from his tone that he was pained and angered by what had happened to he and Aria. Why wasn't he thinking about me? Aria and Ryder had arrived not up to an hour ago and Aria had retreated to her room to cry her eyes out. Ryder had decided to come to his study to think and luckily, I was waiting for him. His conversation though was not one I was expecting to be having with him. "Do you know who took her?" I asked, pretending to be concerned, even though deep down, I was filled with anger. "Was there any clue left behind by the wolves that may lead us to her?" "I... I don't know," Ryder admitted, frustration evident in his voice. He grunted and ran a hand through his hair as he shook his head. He looked down at the drink I had brought for him and I could see in his eyes that he wanted to take it. "But... but I have to find her. I lost Aria once. I can't be

Ryder's POV We had long begun our journey in silence, the only sound filling the air being the sound of our horse's hooves trotting softly against grass and the racket our carriage wheels made as it made it's way through the forest. The children too added to the list as they played and laughed loudly. Apart from all these, the carriage seemed silent. My gaze turned to Aria, a sense of guilt filling up within me as I stared at her. She had turned to the window and was staring at the passing trees. It was obvious that her mind was somewhere else and I wondered what it was that she was thinking about. Was it me? Was she having regrets?I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. I just didn't know what to say. Taking in a deep breath, I turned from her and began tapping my feet on the floor restlessly, trying my best to muster my courage."What is it?" I heard her say and I quickly turned to her. Her gaze had not left the window."Look, Aria, I'm... I'm really, really sorry," I sa

Ryder's POVThe morning came as quickly as the night went by and the rays of sun did more than wake me up, it also brought back bad memories. Memories of how I had treated Aria when all she had ever done was care for me, memories of how I should have heard her out a bit more, or protected her regardless of not knowing the origin of her pregnancy. I was nothing without her and her leaving ended up being undoubtedly detrimental to me. How did i not see that until now? But then, i probably did and decided on being more in denial. Due to the fact that it was already late yesterday, Alpha Kael had asked that I slept in before leaving with Aria. It wasn't something I wanted as it itched me to take Aria back home but I couldn't say nom He had taken me to my room, insisting that I don't sleep with Aria. I couldn't blame him. He was her father after all.I slowly sat up from bed, my right hand travellimg to my eyes as I began rubbing them to get them free from the haziness that had ensued th

Hudson's POVI walked out of the mansion and turned towards the path that led to the stable at the back. Sure enough, I found Jason there, attending to the horses inside. He was so focused on what he was doing that he didn't notice my presence.I made to enter the stable but then stopped as I sighted a a clump of horse dung at the front. I looked down at the ground and saw that there were a lot surrounding the area. I wasn't sure I wanted to have my shoes get stained with any. Taking a step back from the stable door, I called out to Jason from outside. "Jason," I shouted as I shoved my hands into the pockets of my jean trousers. "Jason," I called out again after seeing that he had not heard my first call.Jason looked up, startled, and turned to the cabin door. He sighted me standing outside and immediately wipes his dirty hands on his jeans before walking slowly to the barn door. "Alpha Hudson," he said as he bowed his head low. "Is there any problem, alpha?" I gave Jason a small n

Aria's POVRyder stared at me for a few moments before rushing towards me. I dropped my kids to the ground in fear, thinking he was going to attack me but, to my greatest surprise, he enveloped me in a tight hug the moment he reached me. I didn't know what to do so I just stood there motionless as he began whispering words of apology. "I'm sorry, Aria," he whispered as he placed his head on my blossom. "I really really am so sorry." I didn't know what to say or do at that moment. What was he sorry about? And what was he even doing here in the first place? I heard the shuffling of feet behind me and turned slightly to see my father stand from his throne and begin to walk towards I and Ryder. He was confused but had not reacted to Ryder's sudden hug. I assumed it was because I wasn't protesting that he kept cool. "What is happening here?" he asked with a frown on his face as he paused at the last step of the podium on which his throne sat. "Prince Ryder," he called out to Ryder and I
