Alpha Ryker’s POVI reviewed the agreement one more time before digitally signing them then I sent an email to my secretary to let her know. Closing my eyes, I leaned back against the leather chair and took a deep, calming breath. It was crazy to think that I actually had a successful company without my family’s money.About four years ago — a year after my brother’s death, my dad had announced Draven Summers, my nephew, as the sole heir of old Cromwell’s fortune, I’d been pissed. I wasn’t pissed at Draven in particular, I knew there was some tough love back in the States and that he’d been ostracized by his own grandfather. All my anger and frustration were for my father. He’d simply kicked me out just because I wanted to make Alana Luna. He’d gone on and on about how our pack, The Ethereal, had become one of the strongest packs in the world because we’d never rejected our Fated Mate. That the mates were chosen for us by the Moon Goddess for a good reason — although we didn’t know wha
Xyrra’s POV“Hey, Miles, thank you for getting me home,” I told him as he parked his car in front of the packhouse. “Nah, don’t mention it.” Miles smiled and then took off his seatbelt. “Come on. Let me walk you to the door.” I rolled my eyes at him for being a gentleman. “It’s fine. I got it. Trust me, even though he sent gazillion texts to me, Ryker will ignore me and pretend I don’t exist.” Miles chuckled. “Gosh. What did you do?” He grabbed his keys then opened the door and got out. I followed him and walked towards him. “That’s the thing. I didn’t know what I did. Everything was fine — he was even kind at one point, and then the next day he became a completely quiet person. He acted like I wasn’t there.” I shrugged it off as though it didn’t hurt. “But that’s okay. I’ll get my own money and pay him monthly for staying here so it’ll be like a hostel. We would be just like housemates or a landlord and a rentee.” “That’s a bad idea.” Miles shook his head and looked at me as we s
“That doesn’t make any sense,” I argued even though I’d been telling myself to leave. “Why would you need to scare her away? You could just ask her, and tell her about your plan of using me—” “I didn’t use you,” he cut me, his eyes were burning with anger and something else that I couldn’t quite comprehend. “I am not using you. I don’t know how else I’m supposed to convince you about this.” He let out a rough huff. “I’ve told Alana to leave after the wedding but she came up with a million excuses and the bottom line was that she didn’t want to leave. But I wanted to try talking to you and hopefully convince you to come here so when Dmitry offered to help kick Alana out, I let him do that. And before you accuse me of taking you here so I could use you, think again. Why would I want to use you? For what? You’re my mate.” “Are you seriously wanting me to believe that you really want me to come here simply because I’m your mate?” I couldn’t hide the tone of incredulity in my voice. He w
He remained quiet for several heartbeats and I anxiously stared at him. Then he finally said, “Okay but at least let me protect you. I know what’s going on out there, okay. I know about your father killing the Night Walkers’ Alpha and how they might seek retribution.” I swallowed hard and tried not to let any emotion leak on my face. Even though I was scared, I didn’t want him to see that. “I’m fine.” He looked at me for what felt like forever before he said, “Are you more comfortable if I have Miles following you around instead of Dmitry?” “I am fine,” I reiterated again. “I don’t need a babysitter.” Plus, I had this superpower. Although I didn’t know how to fully control it yet, I knew I could learn or damn well give it my best effort to try because every day it seemed that the power continued to show me what it could do. Today I learned that I could make people believe what I wanted them to believe, who knew what more it could do. “If you don’t want Miles then your last optio
After a while, I ended up falling asleep and when I woke up, my whole body was aching. I stretched my body before I slowly rose to my feet. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and realized that it was four in the morning. My throat was on fire and I was feeling a little bit hungry so I decided to go downstairs to the kitchen. Yet when I unlocked my door and swung it open, I was surprised by the sight of Ryker sitting on the floor, his head resting on his bent knees and his back was on me. He was asleep. Using a flick of my hand, I used my power to grab the blanket off my bed then I placed it carefully around him. It must be chilly here and even though I was annoyed at him, I still didn’t want him to get sick. Carefully, I walked around him and quietly made my way downstairs. I found some frozen bagels and popped them into the microwave. Once I was done eating, I made my way upstairs again but by the time I walked past Ryker’s figure for the second time, his hand caught my calf and I
His silver eyes widened to the point where I’d once thought was not possible. He stared at the ball of red smoke while his mouth kept opening and closing as if he wanted to say something but at the same time couldn’t while his mouth kept opening and closing as if he wanted to say something but at the same time couldn’t. I seriously thought I’d never be able to stun a werewolf but it seemed that I could. He closed his eyes and rubbed them with his knuckles. “It’s real, Ry,” I assured him. “And it’s not going to disappear anytime soon. Well,” I shrugged, “until I made it disappear.” “What is that?” he asked, then turning his gaze from the ball of red smoke to me. His eyes locked with mine and I was worried I might see fear in there, that he might be scared of me, but instead, all I saw was confusion and surprise. “I have some kind of power,” I tried to explain. It was quite difficult especially when my knowledge of it was quite limited. “It allows me to pick up things so I’m guessi
There was a moment of pure silence with nobody moving or saying anything then the next second, Ryker cursed out loud as he tried to cover my body with his. His hand quickly yanked the blanket to cover my exposed skin. “What the hell, Dimka?!” he yelled at his Beta and gave Dmitry a murdering glare. From what I’d read, male wolves were known to be incredibly possessive when it came to their mates but this was the first time I witnessed Ryker being possessive of me. I wasn’t sure I appreciated it. Possessive meant showing possession and I wasn’t a thing to be owned by him. Dmitry being the usual Dmitry, with his expression remaining flat and emotionless, simply shrugged his shoulders and said, “You leave the door wide open. If you want some privacy, you should close it.” Ryker narrowed his eyes, still every bit annoyed, and didn’t appreciate his Beta pointing out about the opened door. “Well, if you get the gist of it at one glance, you should have the decency of closing the door and
“Yes, you got it right. So why don’t you tell us what the dream was really about? Was it something that already happened?” asked Ryker. It was odd seeing him like this because I knew from the way he looked at Adelina that he truly believed that she was lying. Adeline kept her mouth shut. She was only wearing that annoying smile on her face. “This is a waste of time.” I raced to Adelina, my right hand was surged with power, ready to compel her into telling us what really happened, but she suddenly turned to face me and stopped me by putting her hand up but I could see from the movement of her lips, I knew she was doing some kind of incantation. I quickly flicked my hand to grab the apple on her desk and put it in her mouth in a quick attempt to silence her. Ryker moved fast as he could and restrained both of Adelina’s hands. “We can do this the hard way or the easy way. Your pick, Adelina.” The sorceress ignored him, her eyes were solely locked on me. Carefully I pulled the appl
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
