"Would you undress me and... and take me to the bathroom?"

Riven stated at her silently, knowing fully well how hard it took her to say such. Which led him to wonder awhy she would ask him to undress her. He knew how extremely shy she was, even when she acted free around him, he knew she still felt bashful about many things. Or maybe it was because of the near death situation she just witnessed that made her insecure and clingy. Whatever it was, he didn't care. Rather he was glad that his mate wanted to take their relationship forward. To him, it was good progress.

"Anything for you, my sweet Layla",he whispered to her, speaking softly so he wouldn't make her feel uncomfortable. He noticed that the red stain on her cheeks spread farther until she was blushing furiously and he stifled a chuckle.

Slowly, with his eyes never leaving hers, he took off the bloodstained dress she had on. The dress had gone stiff with dried blood and his brows met in annoyance, thinking back to how he almos

    Inside Riven's bedroom, there was a comfortable silence between Riven and Layla. The setting sun cast its golden rays into the room, bathing it with its dying light. The sweet smell of honey and chocolate wafted in the air as Riven prepared a full mug of sweet tea for Layla. Layla was dressed in one of Riven's large tshirts and shorts, wrapped up in a blanket on top the bed. All her wounds from the previous day were already healed and her skin was back to being smooth and flawless. Her sleek midnight dark hair spilled down her shoulders, trailing down her back until it grazed the top of her waist. She left it free because Riven always loved to play with the silky strands.Her eyes were distant, lost in thoughts. Since she stepped into this supernatural island, she had experienced one danger after the other. It was like the island didn't want her there, like it was trying to get rid of her. This thought made Layla feel downcast the more. She remembered her mother's words;she was an ab

    When Layla woke up the next morning, she found herself alone on the bed. Riven was gone and his side of the bed was cold, which meant he had been gone for a while. She sat up quickly, wondering where he must have gone to until she saw a note beside her on the bed.Apparently Riven needed to have a word with Ren, Xerxes and Annabelle. According to the note, he wanted to question the betrayer, Zeke with Xerxes beside him. Then afterwards he would talk with Ren and Annabelle about beginning her training before he would come back for her. He wanted her to have her breakfast and be ready before he came back. A warm blush spread across her cheeks at the last part of the note where Riven reminded her of how much he loved her. She hugged a pillow to her chest and squealed happily, feeling giddy with joy. It didn't matter how much Riven told her he loved her, she would never get tired of hearing him say it.A knock sounded on the door and her eyes flew upwards, nerves coiling at the pit of he

    "If you promise not to scream, I'll release you",the strange man said to Layla, his voice flowing out like honey in her ears.Layla's eyes widened when she recognized the voice instantly. It was the man from her dreams. The man who would always appear and hold her intimately, whispering into her ears.It was him!The strange man smiled softly at her and took a careful step forward. "I see you recognize me, beautiful Layla"A look of pure confusion clouded Layla's eyes as she struggled against the shadow holding her immobile. He knew her name? How was it possible? Who was he? She longed for Riven to come back and save her from this strange man but strangely enough, she didn't feel threatened or endangered. Her inner creature didn't feel any threat from him and it made her confused all the more.The man must have noticed her confusion because he quickly reassured her."I know you Layla",he spoke softly, the words rolling off his tongue like butter. "I've known you for so long, and I'm i

    "Alpha Riven!"A clear female voice stopped Riven as he was about to smash his boot against Zeke. Scowling at the interruption, he slowly turned and glared into one of the cells holding his prisoners. The voice was unmistakable.It was the voice of the female dragon that was captured weeks ago.When Riven kept glaring at her without saying a word, Seraphina struggled against the chains holding her captive and pushed herself up. Barefoot and dressed in a tattered robe, she looked quite stunning. She stepped towards the gate of her cell and stared back at Riven, her eyes glittery and her face held up in pride. She didn't cower under the Alpha's fearsome glare."Seraphina what are you doing?",Gara, one of the dragon shifters hissed at her while he kept a cautious eye on Riven. Was Seraphina trying to put them in deeper trouble? Plotting against the Alpha was enough reason for Riven to put them to death but openly challenging him? It would make everything worse.Seraphina ignored him and

    "Where are you taking me to?",Layla asked in a voice hardly louder than a whisper."The past",Xavier said and snapped his fingers.Layla's eyes widened in surprise and before she could react to what Xavier just said, she felt the air sucked from her lungs and Riven's room disappeared. A dark blanket enveloped her and spun her around and Layla felt a feeling of deja Vu. This was how she felt when she unintentionally sent herself to the past, using her mother's book of shadows.She tried to scream but her entire body had gone limp and immobile. The next thing she knew, she was lying on a grassy lawn on her side, her left cheek resting on a bed of soft hay. The view before her eyes was entirely different. The last thing she remembered was being in Riven's room with Xavier and now here she was, lying on a field overlooking a fast flowing stream.Moving slowly like she just stepped out of a whirlwind, she pushed herself up and got to her feet. A surprised gasp left her lips when she took i

    Layla felt all the colour drain from her face at Tiffany's words.This couldn't be happening, she thought. The last time she had travelled to the past, she had succeeded in stopping Riven from getting married off to someone else and at the risk of losing her life.Now she was going to be paired with someone else? How was this even possible? Confusion clouded her mind as she tried to figure out what was happening. If Xavier really brought her to the past, then where was he? What era was this? While she racked her brain to think of anything that would explain what was happening, Xavier watched her with a concerned expression. He was worried about her and he understood how she was feeling to an extent. He also didn't fancy the idea of pairing with a random dark angel he barely knew. He wanted to choose a partner because he loved her and not because someone chose her for him. But he had no choice. The shadow warriors had to be paired with the dark angels to strengthen their bond and mak

    Xavier stared at Layla with horrified eyes, wondering why she suddenly shrieked out. He noticed the tears that gathered in her eyes and he thought maybe the story he was telling her was too horrible for her to hear and she wanted to hear no more of it. He had no idea that Layla was in denial because of what he said, and he had no idea that Layla was mated to the Alpha King.Moving slowly towards her, he drew her into his arms and hugged her, pushing her warm body into his and relishing the softness of her breast on his chest. Cursing himself internally for thinking of such things when Layla was distraught, he pulled her closer and tried to console her.Layla absentmindedly allowed him pull her closer to him while her heart slammed within her chest. A thousand thoughts ran through her mind. Did Riven really kill other creatures like that? Was that why Xavier told her he was a murderer?All the times Riven had killed in her presence, it had always been because the person plotted against

    "What's going on here?!",a hard voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.Xavier and Layla whirled around in fright, and at the same time, Xavier promptly shut his mouth.A large heavily muscled man was standing behind them with a fearsome scowl on his face. The two had been so engrossed in their little chitchat that they didn't notice the man had been standing behind them. But for how long? Xavier didn't know how long he was there or if he had overheard their conversation.He gulped nervously and tugged Layla close to him."Elder Bazaar. Greetings to you",he greeted and bowed deeply. Layla's eyes widened when she realized this man was one of the elders of the Village. When Xavier told her about the elders, she had been thinking they were old wrinkled men who leaned on walking sticks for support. She never knew they were thick muscled men who looked menacing. She kept staring at him and quickly averted her eyes when Bazaar's sharp dark eyes landed on her. His hair was longer tha

She hummed to herself along the way, holding up her dress and skipping lightly."Good morning, my little feathered friends",she smiled warmly as she got to the cage and crouched before it. The chickens squawked in anticipation for their morning meal, and Kalista carefully tipped the basket she held and poured out the grains into the feeder."Don't rush, there's enough for everyone",she

    Riven felt suddenly whole. He shut his eyes, forgetting everything else and focusing on the feeling of Layla's soft body close to him. His arms tightened around her, one hand reaching up to caress her hair. The scent of apples and roses, the scent he had grown so used to, flooded his senses and made him dizzy from relief. All of a sudden, everything seemed alright. All the years he had been wallowing in anguish and guilt sudden disappeared. It didn't matter anymore as long as his mate was in his arms."Layla",he whispered in her ear, burying his nose in the crook of her shoulder and breathing in her scent. The unique scent that belonged to only her. "Is it really you?""Yes, Riven",Layla whispered back to him, tears rolling down her cheeks when she answered him. "I came back to you, my love"The feeling was surreal and it still felt like a dream to him.

    Xavier felt his breath bust out of his mouth. It was only then that he realized he had been holding it. Selene, the Moon Goddess was right in front of him?Without another word, he bowed his head to the ground, trembling from awe and immense respect. For the Moon Goddess herself to appear to him was something he couldn't fathom. He wasn't worth it. He wasn't worth to be in her presence.His lips trembled as he bowed his head repeatedly before Selene."Rise, Xavier",Selene continued in a soothing voice, the hint of an amused smile playing around her perfect lips.However, Xavier shook his head and remained on the ground before her."I know you're wondering why I have appeared to you",the Moon Goddess said.

Tears slowly spilled down her eyes as she gazed lovingly at her mate. "I want to make this easy for you but I don't know how...""Please, my love.
