Ryker frowned, the lines were invading his once smooth forehead and I wondered if it was something awful or something that was difficult for him to tell me. Surely the sorceress had said nothing but bullshit considering I was still alive and breathing.
“What is it?” I placed my hand on his arm, urging him to tell me.
He drew a deep breath. “Ten years ago, Alana told me about her feelings for me. I always like her and she’s the person I grew up with but I always value our friendship more than anything else so I didn’t act on it but when she told me about her feelings, I told her that there is a possibility that she’s not my mate or I’m not hers. I told her that we should wait until our eighteenth birthday so we will know for sure, so we won’t hurt anyone. Then she cried and told me that she already knew she was not my mate because my mate is already dead. She mentioned crossing the northeast border and met a sorceress who told her about it which was why she finally de
Dear Gentle Readers, at this point, who would you trust? Everyone seems oddly suspicious. Be sure to read the next chapter! Romance, seduction, and deceit are on its way!
“Yeah, rich people are crazy.” I decided to coax more information from Trish without being too suspicious. “By the way, how long has Ryker been an Alpha anyway?” In my head, I drew a timeline of what Ryker and Eros had told me and what I would learn from Trish. “He looks quite young for an Alpha,” I added even though I had no clue what was the minimum required age for someone to be an Alpha or if such a thing did exist. I merely took a guess since my dad had been Leonidas’s Beta and he was in his early forty, so I took a wild guess that Leonidas must be in his forties too. “About five years, give or take.” Trish shrugged one shoulder. “I remember my uncle being so mad when he found out that Dmitry accepted the Beta position in The Ethereal.” “Why?” I asked curiously. “I thought Beta is quite high in the hierarchy.” “It is,” Trish agreed before heaving a sigh. “But not when you’re meant to be an Alpha.” Wait, what? Dmitry Vashkov was suppos
I was halfway unpacking when I heard someone approaching. “Wow, it’s a big room, huh?” I looked up and saw Trish standing by the door. I had left the door and window opened to air the room since it smelt like my attic here. So fuggy, almost as if not until today, this room had never be
Eros POV “Are you sure this is a good idea?” Young Seb asked for the dozenth time today. In his defense, I had been asking the same question for the last few hours too, and to be honest, I did not know the answer. “You just broke up with Crystal, Man. Your morale is still fragile, your emotion is a mess.” “Dude, you are being too much.” I rolled my eyes at him, trying to shrug off his comment. “You should sign up and become the pack’s psychiatrist or something.” I picked up my motorcycle’s key from the
“W-hat?” I was not sure I had heard it right the first time. She could not possibly be serious, right? I knew I had told myself earlier that I would do absolutely anything for her but that did not necessarily mean that I would seduce another man for her. And right now, I was in such a predicament because I did not know how to tell her that I didn’t want to do that, or how to reason with her. “Um,” I cleared my throat and scratched a spot in the back of my head even though it was not itchy, just to lend myself some more time. “I, um, I honestly don’t think that I’m his type, Xy. And I despite the fact that the Greek God in which I'm named after could possibly do that, I don’t swing that way.” This time her eyes widened in confusion for a split second
A deep frown formed on my forehead as I tried to gather everything I had heard about Ryker Cromwell. The Ethereal was our rival pack so we always kept tabs on whatever was going on in the North, although not as much as in the West, where the Night Walkers ruled. And to be frank, we had monitored Ryker’s older brother, Aiden Cromwell, since he was supposed to be their next Alpha so the younger brother has never been our interest. Being put in the spotlight, I could only remember that Ryker used to be the easy-going, devil-may-care second son, the one who had always had more fun with parties and ladies because he had been born knowing that he would never have to inherit the responsibilities. Until the unthought-of had become reality and he’d had to step in his brother’s shoes.
Xyrra’s POV Afterward, I was going through my mom’s old stuff which Dad never put in a box — he always said that he couldn’t do it, and I suspected that he actually was still hoping that by some miracle, my mom would spring back to life and we could be a family once more. With werewolves and witches, everything seemed possible, after all. I didn’t move any of her makeup and creams on the dressing table or her clothes from the cupboard but I found a small pendant in one of the drawers along with a key with the letter ‘G’ and ‘A’ engraved on it. I picked up the pendant instead. It seemed to be made o
Oddly enough, Cindy and her gang had left me alone. Or to be precise, I hadn’t seen her for the last five days. She and her cronies hadn’t come to school and as much as I was curious as to what had happened to her, I considered myself lucky and didn’t bother to ask anyone. With Cindy’s absence though, Davina decided to come back to school for good. It seemed that her so-called ‘fever’ was only because she was afraid to face Cindy and the pregnancy rumor was true. “I didn’t know that he was Cindy’s boyfriend,” claimed Davina although I didn’t one-hundred percent believed her because Cindy had been parading him around in nearly every party. “We fell madly in love, Xy, and before I know it, I’m pregnant.” She sobbed and I put my arms around her, trying to calm her down. “What are you going to do?” “I don’t know,” she breathed out. “Okay, then we’ll figure it out, okay?” I looked at my friend and suddenly felt really bad for her. She was only eighteen and she was scared. “Please don
Alpha Ryker POV I put my hand on her shoulder and pushed her slightly away from me. “Alana, no,” I warned her. “Why not?” She placed her hand on the back of my neck, her thumb was caressing my skin up and down. “Everyone’s wearing a mask, no one will know. Plus I’m pretty sure people are going to start making out like last year anytime soon.” She laughed, shaking her head. “Come on, just one kiss.” My hand reached for her hand and took it off of me before letting it go. “I said no.” Alana narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “Are you in love with her already?” I let the words sink in my brain for a few moments before I answered her question truthfully,“No.” It was true, I was not in love with Xyrra. At least, not yet
Dear Gentle Readers, Thank you so so much for your support! Truly, it means the world. This author first started this book with no experience whatsoever when it comes to the werewolf genre however he has a bit of experience in writing fantasy upon having his book published by one of the major publishers under the name AJ Rosen. Regardless of how many views/reviews this book has right now, this author has fallen madly in love with the werewolf genre. So much so that he would bring you not one, but three more werewolf books under “A.R. Were World Series” ~ Mad Wolf — Book II (already completed and available here) Lone Wolf - To Kidnap The Alpha's Daughter — Eros Adler’s story, Book III (published on GoodNovel) The Wolf Prince — Dmitry’s story or you can read Tiffany’s story: Viva Lust Vegas This author hopes that you will give these three books as much love and support as you have given TTWA. So the question this author has been receiving: how to find these books? Since t
By the time I woke up, it was already noon and I found myself alone in his bed. I was hoping that Ryker would be here with me but I knew that he was an Alpha and he had tons of things to do other than to stay in bed, waiting for me to wake up. I stretched my tired and sore body then swung my legs to one side of the bed, getting up. Out of habit, I folded the blanket and tidied the bed before I walked out of his bedroom, closed the door behind me, and made my way downstairs.
Xyrra’s POV Call me crazy but before I opened the door, just by hearing the knock alone, I could tell that it was Ryker and despite everything else, my heart skipped a beat. I tried telling myself that it was just sex that we’d shared but deep down I knew that I was fooling myself. There was something more. Something tantalizingly sweet and dangerously perm
Alpha Ryker’s POV I knew that there was something wrong with me. The wound had healed so whatever it was, I knew it was not physical. After everyone had gone to bed, I went to the library on the second floor and searched for the book which had all the information on ancient artifacts. I’d finished going through the information regarding Roman and Egypt artifacts when Dmitry entered the library and approached
“Ryker!” I screamed as I made my way towards them. Some wolves tried to prevent me from reaching Ryker and I blasted my power, throwing them out of my way. I saw Eros attack the human, tearing him out to pieces.
“Wow, look at you,” I teased Ryker as I walked into the kitchen and found him wearing my dad’s clothes and also his apron. “What are you making?” I placed my hand on the spot on the kitchen island and peered over his shoulder. “French toast.” Ryker turned his head and planted a kiss on my left temple. He did it in a way that almost scared me because it was

Ryker and I wasted no time as we made our way to the Center. It seemed that Trish had volunteered to join the team looking for Eros and she’d been the one finding him. While Ryker focused on driving, I quickly sent a text to Trish, thanking her for doing this. She didn’t have to help but she knew how much Eros meant to me and helped anyway. By the time the car stopped a few blocks away from Eros’s apartment building, I frowned. I couldn’t believe that Ares had checked himself into the same apartment although he rented a different unit than what Eros had there. Perhaps the familiarity of the building somehow drew him into renting a unit there despite the high rental cost. This could be taken as a good sign that maybe his memory was still there, just hidden. That he could be saved. I got out of the car as soon as the car stopped and both Trish and Young Seb approached me. “So what now?” asked Young Seb looking at me and then at Ryker who had gotten out of the car and was approaching us
Alpha Leonidas agreed that he would send a few of his pack members to go looking for Eros in the Center, Ryker would also send a few of the Ethereal members to help. Young Seb would come with us once we managed to locate Eros/Ares but he would be accompanied by his sister, a pack warrior named Yelena. Young Seb didn’t look happy being babysat by his sister but Alpha Leonidas’ words had been final. It was either Yelena or Beta Adler and of course, Young Seb would prefer his sister rather than the grumpy Beta. As we drove back to the North, I tried to read Ryker’s mind and when I came up with nothing, I decided to ask him directly, “What are you doing to do with Alana?” There was a long moment of silence inside the car before Ryker finally glanced at me and replied, “I don’t know.” He inhaled a deep breath and let it out. “Dmitry already locked her up again. Her dad kept asking to see me, he tried to mind link me numerous times when we were back at the Erebus’ territory but I blocked
