I was surprised to hear her say it again. On my first day in the company, I was told that he doesn't allow anyone on his floor, and hearing this now made me want to find the reason I was going to be working on his floor."Is Cyrus in?" I asked."Yes, he is waiting for you," she replied." Okay, thanks" I walked towards Cyrus's office and Opened the door." Good morning." I greeted entering the office and closed the door." Oh, Riley, you are here, have a seat," he said gesturing to the chair opposite him " I am sure Cassie has told you the good news"" I am going to be working with the president," I asked sitting on the chair" Yes, why do I have a feeling that you don't want it"" No, I just find it strange". The truth was that I wanted to see the president, I was feeling kind of lonely when he left the hospital and didn't come back, and anytime I think about what happened at the hospital, my face turns red." There is nothing strange Riley, you are going to be working with the presi
VINCENTI stared at her plump pink lips which were swollen a little from the kiss. Her lips were parted after the kiss and she inhaled deeply while staring at me. I hated the fact that she always wore glasses to cover her eye colour.Being this close to her made the mate pull stronger, it ignited a fire in me and I wanted her more than ever. I never had thought that she would give in to the kiss, but it seems the mate bond was affecting her also.I was leaning in for another kiss and she closed her eyes anticipating it.The door flew open and Riley opened her eyes in shock, we both turned toward the door and saw Bronte standing at the door, he was staring like someone that had been caught in a headlight.I glared at him, annoyed that he always had the wrong timing.Riley squirmed in my arms trying to hide her face that was red and she looked cute when she blushed.I finally let her go and she took her bag before hurriedly leaving the office without sparing a glance at me."I am sorry
RILEYI sat in the cafeteria with Cassie, Mirabel and Victor, they were talking but I wasn't listening, my mind was clouded with the thoughts of the president.I had kissed him and it's strange that I even craved for more, I could still remember how his lips felt on mine.Bronte had seen us which made me embarrassed, I was caught kissing the president, and to think that I did not regret it, made me wonder why I felt that way, I felt some kind of pull when I am with him…."Down to earth Riley" Cassie was snapping at my face, and I noticed that I had spaced out again."I am sorry, what were you saying," I asked" We are going to the club that opened last week," Cassie said" When," I asked taking a spoon from the shrimp sauce and rice which we had ordered earlier, well as usual Cassie and I ordered the same thing" Friday night, well tomorrow is Friday so, yes, tomorrow night"" I went last week and they were a lot of hot guys there" Mirabel gushedSpeaking of hot, the image of the shir
Leaving the cafeteria, I went back to the office. I entered the office and saw Bronte and Cyrus with the president, they stopped whatever they were talking about when I entered the office, and I could feel their eyes on me.I got to my table and sat on my chair resuming my work."Riley " Cyrus was standing in front of my table, I didn't notice when he got here" Mr Cyrus" I smile at him"You don't usually call me that" he stated and I realized I was formal when I said his name."I didn't realise," I answered. Maybe I had called him that out of impulse, I was still concerned with what the girls had said about me." Are you okay?" he asked, " Yes, I've just been feeling out of the weather lately" I replied trying to act normal" Okay, after your work, come to my office, I have something for you," he said" Sure" I replied.He left the office and Bronte left a few minutes later.Was it really obvious that he could notice something was bothering me?I sighed and went back to work.It was
"No! You are getting it all wrong" Louis exclaimed looking at the mess I had created. "You are not supposed to put the egg now".I looked at the horrible looking cake batter "that explains why it looks so weird". I dipped my hand into the batter and licked it. I almost choked as I spat it out "it is really bad""Start again," he said "you wouldn't want to kill your president with this" I groaned, he was right, and this would be my third trial of getting to make a cup cake." Why don't you do it, this isn't my kind of thing, I can't make it" I complainedI had told Louis what Cyrus had said and he suggested I made cupcakes, according to him, he said girls did it a lot in movies except I can't bake.We had woken up early and we had been in the kitchen for two hours trying to make cupcakes.Well, apparently he was teaching me and I was a terrible student."Let's just stick with something simple" I slumped on the chair." Let's see what you can make," he said, rubbing his invincible bear
How did he hear that, I was sure no one was there. How am I going to explain this to him? Hell, I couldn't even face him.It was too embarrassing to even think about what I had said, I had only said it in the spur of the moment and it was just to rile them up, I didn't know the president had heard about it.I lowered my head trying to avoid his gaze, it was hard to escape this, not when I am trapped between him and the wall."Raise your head Riley" I heard his alluring deep voice, but I couldn't face him. My face had turned a bright shade of red, thinking that he heard everything I said."You said kissing me isn't shameless, then why can't you look at me, I haven't even touched you yet" he taunted."That isn't what I meant……" I raised my head to retort his comment, but that was a wrong move, his face was close to mine and I was staring into his red eyes, with his breath fanning over mine.I stared at him wide eyed as he rested both of his hands on the wall, beside me, trapping me betw
CYRUS"Mr Cyrus, I will be leaving now, Riley and I are going to the club," Cassie said" which club," I asked,"The new club that opened recently," she replied."Okay, have fun," I said, going back to signing the last file for the day."We will" She left the office and I yawned, feeling tired.I noticed a presence in the room and frowned."Yellow" I called out and Tanya came out from the wall."You always get me Blue," she said.Tanya is my elder sister, when we were young, we had a thing for colours, hence the name. It was actually Scarlet's idea for the name and we agreed on it.Tanya was called Yellow, I was called Blue, while we called Scarlet red, it's still funny how we were still stuck to the name." What are you doing here," I asked not happy with her visit, I have warned her not to visit me in the office, apparently, she and Vincent don't really get along since after the death of Scarlet"Come on now, is that how to welcome your big sister" She sat on my table crossing her s
VINCENTFalcon got to the club and I alighted from the car, I noticed Cyrus and Bronte were following me closely from behind, getting to the entrance, I sensed that the two bouncers standing at the door were Lycans, so it's no doubt that the club was populated with Lycans than humans."Alpha" they both bowed as I ignored them and entered the club to search for Riley.The smell of sweat and alcohol was overwhelming, I looked around the club, she wasn't meant to be here, there were a lot of unmated wolves here and it wasn't safe for her.I looked around the club but couldn't see her."Alpha" a guy bowed, approaching me "I wasn't informed that you were coming, please let me take you to the VIP section" he stated." That won't be necessary, I will not be staying long" I replied walking away"Calm down Vincent, I am sure she is fine," Cyrus said from behind me. I am sure he noticed how worried I was.Ignoring him, I picked up her scent, then I heard her voice screaming for help. It was fai
They say soulmates were destined to be with you, and even after being reborn I still had my soulmate and although we faced many obstacles, betrayal, war, and death, we were still together and also in our next life.Vincent rubbed my protruding belly as I lay on the bed.“What do you think we should name them?” Vincent asked. We had found out that we were going to be having twins, a boy, and a girl.“Cyrus wanted us to name them Cyril and Cyrus”“There is no way in hell would I be naming my kids after him”“I think is a nice name though”“Cyrus” Vincent and I chorused at the same time, seeing that Cyrus had just appeared in the room.Vincent threw a pillow at him and he was quick to evade it.“Get out Cyrus” “I am excited, I am becoming an uncle soon”Vincent threw the lamp at Cyrus which he barely missed.“You don’t need to keep chasing me out, I will leave, but when Cyril and Cyrus come, I will tell them how bad you treat their uncle”“Cyrus” “Okay, I am leaving, but first I need t
What Dartron said had left everyone in shock, no one was expecting the Grydens to attack us now, it seems their aim was a surprise attack.We were currently in Vincent’s study, and his mood seems to have changed hearing what Dartron had said.We were seated at a round table with everyone present, and I was sitting on Vincent.Vincent had been holding me since he saw Dartron, and he seems more possessive since I woke up“Why are you helping us,” Vincent asked, he was still suspicious about Dartron and I think everyone felt the same.Their eyes were all Dartron, watching his every movement.“I just want this war to end, Although our grandfather did some barbaric things, I hate to admit that he was a better ruler than Thanos,” Dartron said leaning back on his chair. “Thanos had always wanted to get rid of our grandfather, but you already did, and now his goal is to eradicate all werewolves, and I am not in support of it”Hearing that Thanos wants to eradicate the wolves, everyone turned
RILEYI felt like I had been pricked with several needles. I felt a cold towel on my forehead, which surprisingly made me feel warm.I opened my eyes, squinting to get used to the light in the room.I groaned as I felt the towel being lifted from my head, turning my head to see who had removed it, my heart suddenly felt warm seeing Vincent who immediately smiled.“You are awake”I nodded trying to sit up and he helped me, raising the pillow to the headboard.“How are you feeling,” he asked as his hands held mine.“Like I have been through hell”“I was really worried” he brought my hands to his lips.“What happened,” I asked touching my throbbing head.“Don’t you remember, you set the….” He suddenly stopped. “You should not be thinking about that now, everything is okay, he reassured me”Then it suddenly hit me, everything that happened before I passed out started coming to me.I was so enraged seeing that Louis died that I burnt the forest with everyone in it.Tears suddenly filled my
The fight lasted for hours, he was good but I did not want to end his life immediately, I wanted to make him suffer before death.He looked like he was going to pass out any minute from now, but given how proud he is he kept on attacking me.He ran to me and in a flash clawed at my chest, tearing through my shirt. I was able to miss his attack, and his claw had a little contact with my skin.He smirked knowing he got it, he was about to strike me again, but I held his hand.Feeling annoyed, I twisted his hand, breaking his bones and disconnecting his hand from his shoulder.He screamed as he stepped away from me, clutching his bleeding shoulder.“You want to kill your old man” “Ending your life is enough sympathy from me”I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest, but it wasn’t mine, it was ……The door suddenly flew open“Alpha” I turned to the door to see one of the pack warriors, he had a frightened look on his face, which only made my assumption right that something was wrong.“It’
VINCENTAfter returning from our search for the last seal, Cyrus and I discovered that the last seal, the seal of Mene, was with the last descendant of the Isdreal, who was surprisingly Kayla.We never had expected that she was from Isdreal, nor did we know that she was with the seal, and I don't think she knew either.We headed to Cyrus’ house, and I was surprised to see Max sprawled on the couch. He was supposed to be with Riley.I approached him wondering where Riley was, but I stopped, noticing the empty cup on the table.Cyrus picked up the cup and sniffed it.“He was drugged”I took the cup from him and he was right Max was drugged, but he drugged him.As if on cue, Kayla came into the room.She had a shocked look on her face, noticing the cup in my hands, her eyes widened and I could sense her fear.“I can explain” she immediately said“Where is Riley” I growled at herShe stepped back in fear, intimidated.I walked towards her, but Cyrus came between us and placed his hand on m
RILEYWhile in the underworld cell, I was scared that I would not be able to save him because all my nightmares always become a reality.I ran out of the room after Tanya finally realized why I was in a hurry to leave. I could hear her footsteps behind me, it was obvious that she was following me.We came out of the pack house and noticed that they were carrying some injured pack warriors into the pack house.It seems the fight was happening in the woods, the ferocious howls and growls could be heard clearly, my heart raced as I ran towards the woods to where the pack warriors were trying to hold off the Grydens.I felt a tear slip from my eyes as I realized it was all my fault, if I had not captured their king, we would not be attacked by the Grydens. I could hear Tanya call after me but I did not want to stop, finding Louis was my top priority and I prayed silently that he was still safe.“Louis” I screamed his name as I reduced my pace.I heard a growl from behind me, I turned imme
TANYAAfter checking everyone at the pack house, and making sure no one was controlled by Morpheus, I decided to begin with Riley’s plan.Going to an empty room, I made a circle on the floor, it was like a barrier that prevents anyone that is in from getting out.This circle was linked with the first teleportation stone I had given Riley. If she succeeds in giving the stone to the Gryden king, he will teleport here when I start the spell.I hoped she would be able to make it work.I had just finished creating the barrier when I heard a knock on the door.Riley had told me to keep this a secret, and I did not want anyone entering the room and figuring out what I was up to.walking towards the door, I opened it before stepping out.I saw one of the pack warriors standing in front of the door.“The delta wants to see you” I could hear the urgency in his tone.Making sure the room was closed, I followed him to meet the delta.He led me to the underground prison in the pack house, and I won
I walked out of the room and met the two guards who I saw before I had entered the room.“The king says he does not want to be disturbed,” I told them and they gave me a strange look.I know they don't believe me, so I showed them the small rod he had given me.“Can you please show me the direction to leave this place, as you can see, he permitted it” They looked at each other, before turning back to me and giving me directions on how to leave.“Thank you” I smiled at them before walking off.I just need to leave here, before they find out that their king was missing, and I also needed to avoid Vincent’s brothers, I don't need them questioning me.As I walked through the hallways, I passed some Grydens who ignored me after seeing the rod in my hand.Feeling relieved that I would not be caught because I was holding the rod, I hurriedly looked for the exit of this place.I was about to pass a door, but I stopped.I was tempted to see what was behind the door, but opening the door meant
Few Hours Before Riley’s CaptureAfter spending the night with Vincent, I did not want to be away from him, and the only thing that was a threat to our relationship was the Grydens, I know they won’t stop at anything to get to Vincent, so I came up with a plan, a plan that Vincent would not approve off, and I had to do it without him.After having breakfast with Vincent, he told me that he would be holding a meeting with Tanya, Cyrus, Derek, and Bronte.My plan required a witch or wizard to help me, I would have told Cyrus, but considering his close bond with Vincent he may mistakenly reveal my plan to Vincent, and I won’t want that.I decided to tell Tanya and I hope she helps me without having to tell Vincent.As soon as Tanya got to the castle, I pulled her into an empty room.“ I need your help with something ” “Just tell me what it is and I promise to help you, hearing you ask me for help just brings back old memories”I smiled “yes it does”“So what do you need my help with”“I
