"Where is Louis, I swear I'm going to kill him if he doesn't come to pick you" Kayla yelled over the phone.I was sitting in the waiting area at the airport waiting for Louis who was supposed to pick me up from the airport while I video called Kayla.I chuckled at her protectiveness, she was always like this after I got bullied in third grade."Maybe he is busy, he will be here soon," I said, trying to defend Louis."He has been keeping you waiting for Two hours, what if something happens to you".I sighed typical Kayla always being the protective one " Kayla, I am eighteen, not eight," I said in a duh tone. " And besides he might be busy"" He isn't even answering my calls" Kayla complained" Stop being mama bear, I am sure he will arrive soon"" Kayla" I heard her mum's voice from the background." Oh shit, I need to go, when he comes be sure to call me," Kayla said getting up from her bed and walking towards her door."Okay mama bear, I will, bye" I waved her"Love you Ry" she en
I woke up to the ringing of my alarm. Yawning, I got up and switched off the alarm. Last night after unpacking, I had dinner with Louis and had to set an alarm not wanting to be late for my first day as an intern, I did not want to give them a wrong first impression.Getting out of bed, I strolled towards the bathroom, it was small and simple. A few minutes later I was done, opening the closet, I picked a black skirt and a pink chiffon top, matching it with a pair of black heels. Packing my hair in a neat ponytail, I took my bag and went downstairs.The smell of pancake wafted through my nose and it made my stomach grumble.I walked to the kitchen and met Louis wearing an apron and flipping the pancake. Did I mention that Louis can cook, yeah, he is a great cook better than me, but don't get me wrong I can cook but not as good as Louis."Someone is an early bird" I commented sitting on a stool close to the kitchen island."Wouldn't want Kayla to chop my balls off because I didn't fe
I opened the door slowly as I entered the office"Come in, have a seat," Mr Girard said, looking at a file that was on his table.I closed the door behind me once I was inside the big office and walked towards his table.Sitting on the chair near his table opposite him, I used the opportunity to assess the office. It was large and spacious, shelves were aligning the walls of the office with books arranged neatly on it. Some of the books on the shelves didn't seem to be related to office work, they looked kind of ancient."Miss Riley Martin," he said, interrupting me from my sight seeing."Yes" I turned to him and he looked up from the file he had been reading.He gasped when he looked at me and his eyes widened in surprise.I wondered if I had something on my face that everyone keeps staring at me strangely."Is there something on my face?" I spoke up, seeing that he was still staring at me."Oh, I didn't mean to be rude, your eyes?" He said in the form of a question." Shit, I am so
CYRUS"She is your mate, isn't she," I asked Vincent who was looking at a file but it was obvious that he couldn't concentrate."She is not," he responded coldly."Yesterday, you said you were feeling restless, maybe she is the reason why, I know she is your mate, Vincent""My mate died a long time ago, she isn't my mate," he said venomously." We both know that she is" I retorted" It's impossible to have a second mate, I don't think the moon goddess would grant a monster like me a second chance mate"" I know you don't want to believe she is your mate because of how impossible it sounds, maybe the goddess did grant you a second chance mate"He glared at me " we are not having this conversation again" Vincent Cole Regnant is the alpha king and is my best friend. He is the king of all Lycans and werewolves and is feared amongst the supernatural, he is even well known in the human world.My sister Scarlet was his mate, she was the most powerful witch, and after her death, he became s
"Riley, what's wrong, you look pale," Cassie asked with concern as I entered the office."Uhm, it's nothing" I replied sitting on my chair" Did the president say something, he can be really scary" " No, I am just feeling home sick" I lied, I couldn't tell her why I was looking pale because I don't even know why I was having this strange emotion stirring up inside me, since after I left the president's office.She smiled "I understand, you are a long way from home, don't worry you would get used to it here"I nodded"Oh, it's time for lunch, the food in the company's cafeteria is good, you have to try it," she said shutting down her computer and standing up "come on, let's go, I am sure the food will brighten you up""Yeah, sure" I stood without hesitating being the foodie I am, I was always delighted when food was mentioned.We got to the cafeteria and we went straight to the counter.The room was large with chairs and tables arranged neatly, there were some workers already seated a
We got home and Louis went to his room, I knew something was wrong and he didn't want to tell me."Louis" I called knocking at his door but there was no reply, I entered the room but didn't see him but I could hear the tap running in the bathroom.Something caught my attention as I was about to leave the room, on the floor beside his bed was his shirt soaked in blood.I was terrified, had something happened to Louis?"Louis" I shouted banging at the bathroom door, "Louis open up" I felt so scared that I could feel a stray tear falling on my cheeks." Louis, are you okay?" I asked, still banging on the door."Geez, Ry, you are really loud," he said, opening the door.He was wearing another shirt."Are you okay?" I asked looking at him"Yes " he looked at my face and laughed "were you crying" he mocked"No, I wasn't" I glared at him wiping the tears from my eyes."You were worried about me""Don't get ahead of yourself, I had something in my eyes" I replied."Just admit shortie, you wer
Louis stared at me before finally speaking"It's still here," he said, still holding his side.I looked at his side and saw blood dripping slowly from beneath his hands."Uhm, you might want to clean that up" I gestured to his bleeding injury which I was certain wasn't there a minute ago."Would do that, don't want the kitchen to be a bloody mess?" he said walking away.I don't know if I was being paranoid or if I was just imagining things in my head. Louis' injury last night seems to have healed and I am having a hard time believing that he hurt himself just now. Or maybe it was just all in my head.I sighed trying to brush the thought of storming into his room and asking him about what I just saw.After finishing my bowl of cereal I got ready to go to work."Bye Louis, I am off to work" I called out heading to the door."Wait I will drop you at work" he replied stepping out of his room all dressed up."You are hurt, you need to rest""Don't worry about me Ry" he resisted."I will ju
VINCENT"Leave" I was trying to restrain myself, but it was getting harder to do so while she was still here.She stared at me one more time before leaving and closing the door behind her.I leaned against the table and ran my hand through my hair, it was getting harder to resist the mate bond and Cole wasn't helping, I could still smell her perfume of lavender and it clouded my senses, I couldn't even stop thinking of her.Since the death of my mate, Scarlet, I never thought that I would be given a second mate, it's never been heard of and it was hard to accept the mate bond, knowing that I was the cause of Scarlet's death, she had risked her life to save mine and it has been tormenting me for three hundred years now and I cannot seem to get the picture of holding my dead mate in my hand out of my head."Just mark her already" Cole suddenly screamed in my head. " Scarlet never wanted you to mourn her for three hundred years""We are not having this conversation Cole," I said ignorin
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
