RILEYI woke up feeling supine, and noticed Vincent's arms around my waist, I snuggled into his embrace, not wanting to get up from bed."You are awake" I heard Vincent's voice, he was staring at me and I hummed in response, my eyes were still closed"How are you feeling""As I went through hell" well I literally went through hell."I am sorry" I was surprised to hear him say that.My eyes fluttered open as I stared at him, "don't say that, you are making me cringe" " Really now, I am trying to be nice here"" Well it's not like you so don't" I replied " what are you sorry for anyways"" For not listening to you, I should have marked you when you asked, I felt so…"" Shhh" I placed my hands on his lips. " I understand if you aren't over your first mate and you can't mark me because of that," I told him and he gave me a confused look." What," I asked staring at him"Is that what you think""Isn't that why you didn't mark me, because you are not over Scarlet?" I asked because that wa
I went to the office with Vincent, and I was surprised to hear that Cassie came to work, I wanted to meet her during lunch but I didn't see her.There was something odd about work today, when I walked into the company with Vincent, everyone was avoiding my gaze.When I went for lunch, Vincent's bodyguards on his floor lowered their heads as I walked towards the elevator which made me feel awkward.I went to the cafeteria and saw Mirabel and Victor, but didn't see Cassie at the table, which made me wonder where she was."Hey" I waved to them both sitting at the table."Hi," Mirabel said in a low voice while Victor gave me a small smile."You two are acting weird""No we are not" Mirabel replied immediately.I gave them a questioning look." We just don't know how to speak to you now we know you are the Alpha king's mate"" Is that why everyone is giving me off looks"" Well, we are all surprised" I looked around and noticed how everyone turned back to their lunch when I looked at them
CYRUSI sat on the couch in Vincent's office, I had teleported here after talking to Cassie. Vincent was staring out the glass of his office. I could feel the wasn't in a good mood.We both knew that Riley had lied to us but Vincent didn't want to question her further, but that didn't stop him from trying to find out what really happened and who had dared to touch Riley.He had been furious since last night and he also feels Cassie had something to do with it."Cassie came to drop her resignation letter""And what did you tell her""Don't worry, I didn't accept it, I told her to bring it to your office. She was reluctant at first but she obliged in the end" I replied.He didn't answer but kept on staring at the city."I think Riley has her reasons for not telling you" There was a knock on the door and I knew Cassie was there to drop her resignation letter."Come in" Vincent's voice was void of any emotion, it was scary seeing him like this, making me wish Riley was here.The door ope
I left the office, I couldn't talk to Vincent, not when he was in that state.The full moon was coming out, which meant immense strength for the wolves. They were creatures of the moon and became at their peak during the full moon.Lycans were stronger than werewolves with or without the moon, but werewolves mostly needed the moon, and this was one of the nights were they can shift freely, making it dangerous for humans to be around.I walked through the streets that were almost deserted, the clouds covered the moon, making little light shine.Someone walked into me, almost knocking me off."What the hell, watch where you are going" she cursed, that was when I looked at her and noticed that I had met her before, she was looking familiar."Kayla" it was more of a question to confirm her identity.She looked at me and gasped, astonishment written on her face."I know you, you are my boyfriend from Paris"I cringed at the way she referred to me."Boyfriend" I scoffed"Were you following
RILEYAfter leaving Cassie in the cafe, I saw Louis waiting in front of the company." Glad you decided to come home, you got me worried" he intoned as I approached."I am sorry I made you worry"He hugged me "I am just glad you are safe. Come on let's go home" he released me from the hug and opened the car door for me. Always acting chivalrous.I was about to enter the car when I remembered I forgot the file I was going to review when I got home."I forgot something in the office, I will be right back"I went back into the company and took the elevator to the top floorI got to the office, and opened the door, entering inside."Vincent, I forgot the file I was supposed to work on……..Aaaaaaah!!!!" I screamed placing my hands over my mouth, not completing what I had wanted to sayI staggered backwards as I stared at the scene in front of me.It was Cassie's body, lying lifeless on the floor in a pool of blood. I could feel the tears brimming in my eyes, my hands shivering as I stepped
I was confused about what to do, I could still hear the commotion from outside. I looked outside the window, staring at the full moon.I had read from the Lycanthropy book which Cyrus had given me that Lycans are more stronger and powerful on a full moon, while werewolves are able to shift to wolves.I turned to the door when I heard something crash on it. I stepped backwards, I didn't know much about fighting and I don't know how to help Louis either.I pressed my back against the wall hoping the fight would end soon.The door suddenly flew open, and I was about to grab the flower pot beside me and throw it at the person when I saw Louis entering my room."Riley, you need to leave now" he commanded, heading to the window."What's happening," I asked confusedHe looked outside the window and opened it "They are after you and the flower, you have to leave""Why""I don't know that either," he answered, giving me the flower. "Now leave""What about you""Don't worry about me, I will be
We talked for a while about random things, she was fun to talk to, and I think she was trying to make me feel comfortable. She was really nice, but I noticed that though she was being jovial, deep inside she wasn't as happy as she is on the outside and it made me inquisitive. I wanted to know why she was feeling that way."If I may ask, what were we doing in the woods?" She took a sip from her coffee.I was expecting this question sooner or later, and I hoped she wouldn't ask but it was inevitable. I didn't know how I was going to tell her that I was being chased by Lycans because my mate killed one of their mates."I was just taking a walk in the woods""Naked?" I didn't think about that "I… I… " I tried to come up with a good explanation as to why I was naked, but all I could come up with was nothing. I would have told her the truth, but I didn't know if she was aware of the existence of supernatural beings."Are you a Lycan, they tend to run around naked after shifting back to th
CYRUSI drove to the pack house, I had gotten a call from Bronte telling me to come and he sounded worried which made me wonder the reason why.I left Kayla at home after having dinner with her which was torturous, having her so close in just her night wear.After getting Bronte's call, I quickly drove to the pack house.I hurried inside, everywhere seemed tense, I noticed the Lycans were alert as the tension filled the air.I was going to Vincent's study when I saw Bronte running down the stairs."What is wrong?" I was worried as to what was happening, it was just one in the morning, and although the moon still shines brightly, it was strange seeing everyone tense, as though something bad happened."Louis came in a few hours ago, saying that he was attacked, and he couldn't find Riley after the attack"" What about Vincent"" No one knows where he is, he blocked everyone out, and I can't reach him," Louis explained. I could see the worried look on his face, though he was trying to hi
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
