Richard. Richard. Richard. Richard.

I didn’t know if I was dreaming or saying what I wanted, but I woke up to find myself chanting Richard's name. I found Richard on me, straddling me, his large hands pinning mine down, probably trying to prevent me from doing something regrettable.

I began to shake under him, struggling to escape his grasp. In my struggle, my eyes met the mirror on the wall, and I was shocked to see my reflection. I was unrecognizable.

My eyes were bloodshot and my canines were all out, sharp, and pointy. I was completely naked under him. Then I remember that today was the second-to-last day of the heat, and that the last days of heat are usually the worst.

"Shit! You are burning up." Richard exclaimed as he placed his hands on my head. He stretched out his hand toward the bedside table to retrieve the bowl of water, then started applying it to me with a towel.

"We have to mate, Isabel. You are in pain, and I can't stand seeing you like this. Besides, it is boun

    Shit! No one was supposed to come inside now. I was too ashamed to face anyone. I had thought I would be able to escape to my room. I looked around, the room, trying to come up with something. I wasn't ready to face Richard at all. In my blind panic, I stumbled on my toes as I rushed to hide inside his closet. I held my breath as I heard his feet stomp inside. "Isabelle?" He called out, his feet moving rapidly to where I was. "There is no need to hide from me, little mate. You seem to forget that your mate is an Alpha and he can already smell you." Damn him and his stupid werewolf genes. "I'm coming," I replied from inside, trying to busy myself with something so it wouldn't feel as if I was hiding from him. I smoothed the clothes I had on and arranged my hair. You can't hide here forever Bella; you have to face him. I know, Kiayra, I know. But why is she so wise? She is right, though. I can't continue hiding here. Garnering courage, I turned the door knob and came out, standin

    We were so lost in our world, focusing on ourselves, that we didn't know that everyone was watching us, some with curiosity and others with confusion. The whole dinner was silent as everyone was watching your interactions with wary eyes, wondering what was happening. I glanced up to face the pack, but one particular set of eyes caught me. It was Harry. Shit! I forgot about him. I was yet to thank him for his help during my heat. I tried to signal him with my eyes that we would talk later, but he was looking at me like someone stole his puppy. Richard stilled when he noticed that everyone was looking at him, waiting for some sort of explanation. He took a sip of the water in front of him, pushed back his chair, and stood up. He extended his hands to me, and I took them, not knowing why he wanted me to take his hands. He pulled me to a standing position and cleared his throat. Now all eyes were on him, waiting for his next move. "I know you're all curious about this beautiful lady sta

    "Where are we going?" I asked as Richard kept leading me outside. "You will know when we get there." He is my mate; I should trust him. We soon left civilization and started to enter into the woods. He kept maneuvering through the rocky path until we got to this huge ass tree. "You can change here." Richard gestured to the tree. "Change here?" I asked, confused. "Yea, into your wolf. It has been a while since you let her out right? So, I think this will be a great opportunity." He replied and started leaving. "Wait, where are you going?" "I am going to get changed. Or do you want to watch me undress?" He asked in a teasing manner; his hands were already on the hem of his shirt, threatening to remove it. I didn't answer immediately, so he pulled it up, showing off his well-toned abs. I gulped with my eyes wide open as I followed his movements. My eyes took him in greedily. He chuckled as he saw my expression. "I am tempted to ravish you here in the woods, with the way y

    The soft rays of the morning sun woke me up; the birds chirped quietly in their trees, ignoring us. The crash of the water on the rocks indicated that we were still at the waterfall. Wait... Did we fall asleep here? My mind was still in jumbles and in a sleep-state, so I couldn't remember what exactly happened. I turned to my side, and there was Richard sleeping without care. My legs were all over Richard. Somehow, we had gotten all tangled up in the night. I tapped Richard on his back, urging him to wake up, but he refused. Instead, he snuggled towards me, his mouth on my neck. I could feel his hot breath on my neck, the site that would bear his mark, and it was making me all bothered. "Richard! Wake up, it is morning and we have a lot to do." I tapped him again, much harder than before. "No..oo." He whined like a little child, "I want to stay with you." He snuggled into me so tight I was pretty sure he was trying to fuse with me. "Nice try, handsome. But that isn't going to

    We rushed down the flight of stairs in a hurry to see the Beta. I have never met him before, and I wonder how he will be. I just hope he is welcoming. A loud, boisterous laugh was heard as we got closer to the common area. When we arrived, there were several people hugging someone, whom I assumed was the beta. I noticed that there was a lady beside him smiling from ear to ear; it's safe to assume she’s, his mate. "Richard! you, old cargo! Did you miss me?" It was safe to say that I froze, my legs in the air, when I heard that. My facial muscles were twitching, my mouth threatening to burst into laughter. "You are the old cargo, Ian; you are older than me." Richard retorted, rolling his eyes. The people with us carried on like it was a normal thing, like someone hadn't just insulted the Alpha. No one would dare call Richard like that if it weren't someone who knows him well. Not wanting to be the strange one, I carried on, schooling my facial expressions. A heavily built man, who l

    Ava led me to the garage, where a fleet of cars had been packed. She selected a red sports car with an open roof, and we got in. She turned the ignition and zoomed off. Laughter filled the car as we sped along the smooth path. I soon found out that Ava wasn't the best driver, and I was on the edge of my seat, clutching the door handle for support. She must have had a track record, because pack members scampered in a hurry when they noticed it was Ava behind the wheels. I pray to the Goddess to let me survive the ride because, the way it is going, I might die young with my virginity still intact. I looked to my sides and saw Ava giggling; she was the only one having a good time on this crazy ride. "Woo!!! I love this shit!" Ava screamed into the air as we sped down the highway. Other drivers were looking at her in disgust, trying to ignore the crazy lady. She was blasting her favorite band on the radio, and she tried to sing along with them with her horrible voice. She had me laugh

    Lessons learned: Never go shopping with Ava. She was a maniac when it came to shopping. She kept tossing me clothes after clothes and pushing me to the dressing room to get changed. After that, we went to the lingerie section, and she went absolutely nuts there. One would think she was trying to have another child. After an exhausting hour, we came out of the store, with arms laden with bags. Never again! I vowed. To compensate for the stressful afternoon, Ava took me to the park, which also doubles as a playground. It was the pack's property, so we were able to roam freely. "How is it going to be? We don't have mating ceremonies back at home, so I don't know how it is done." I asked, wringing my hands in nervousness. The day after tomorrow would be my introduction to the pack, and I wouldn't want anything to go wrong. "You don't have to be nervous. It is just like human weddings. But here, you will be bound to your mate and the pack." She said, taking my hands in hers. "It i

    "Rachel, this is Isabella. She is the Alpha's mate." Ava replied, gesturing to me. She came over and gave me a crushing hug, smothering me before she released me from her chokehold. "I have been hearing a lot of rumors about you, but they made a terrible mistake by omitting your beauty." "It is a pleasure to meet you, ma'am." I replied as she showered me with compliments. "Don't be silly, child. Call me Rachel, ma'am makes me feel so old." "Alright ma'am, I mean Rachel." They both laughed at my expense. It would be hard to start calling elderly people by their names, because we don't do that back at home. "You two can have your seats while I prepare something. That little rascal had me so busy that I couldn't cook. Please don't mind the state of the house." "Thank you, but I will have to reject your offer. We already had street food, and if we have anymore, I will puke. Besides, it is already getting late." The sun was going down, and I didn't want Richard to get worried. "

    My hands were drumming on the table as the lady kept talking, and I tried to tune her out. No matter how hard I tried to concentrate on the meeting, my mind kept jumping to the children I left in the room. I had told Jesse to watch them, but I know he will be of no help. I was particularly worried about Jasmine, the oldest of my twins. She is known to be fearless and has a knack for inviting trouble, even though she just barely clocked 5. Her twin brother, Jason, was equally troublesome, but he was easier to control than his sister. When will this damn meeting be over? This was something I never got used to—sitting down for hours and hearing people talk. Richard noticed my attitude and smirked, "Feeling bored?" He asked me through the link. "You can say that again. I am just worried about the twins. You know what Jasmine can be like." It didn't help that I had a nagging feeling that something was wrong. "Relax. Don't worry, they are in safe hands. My brother is watching over them.

    "Alright, the bad news. Your mom is suffering from a stroke." Richard's face crumbled as he heard it. I held him, trying to comfort him in the best way I knew how. "But we are werewolves, Gamgam; we don't suffer illness." He tried to argue. "Yes I know, which is why it is rare. But your mother has been without a mate for a while, and it is affecting her. She is slowly deteriorating." "And the good news?" He asked, trying to gain hope. "The good news is that the operation was successful. We were extremely lucky that we got to her on time. She should be waking up soon." We all collectively heaved a sigh of relief. I could feel Richard untensing at her words. "Thank you so much, Gamgam. I am really grateful for everything." "It is alright." "She is also like a daughter to me, and I wouldn't want anything to happen to her." Just then a male doctor and some nurses came outside. "This is Alexander. He was the head surgeon in charge of her operation, and he in fact needs to be praised.

    I woke up with a splitting headache—now that I think of it, I am always waking up with a splitting headache. Anyways, I rub my hands over my sleepy eyes, trying to clear the sleep. Looking around, the sheets have been thrown on the floor during our steamy session. The bed was unmade and rough, and Richard was sleeping on it like that, eagle-spread and snoring. I frowned as the noise got to my ears. Reaching over, I pinched his nose tight, and it was able to control it.I looked around, trying to get my clothes. The red and white furniture is a stark contrast to our black furniture, which reminded me that this was not our room. But that begs me to ask the question, "Where were we?"But before I troubled myself with that piece of information, Richard would know best how to answer it. I need to look for my phone; if I could remember, someone was trying to reach me yesterday. But Richard collected my phone and switched it off.I shuffled to the edge of the bed and placed my legs gingerly

    It has been a hassle trying to get Richard to leave the venue. He had gotten power drunk and was crazy about winning. Soon the locals found out that they were never going to beat him, so they got tired, and no one was in the mood to compete again.He looked around, searching for new competitors, but no one was willing to wrestle with the new person. "I see y'all are getting tired of being beaten at your game. But I get it, and I will go. Let me just get my money." Someone directed him to where all his earnings from the game have been stacked.We went over there, and bundles of 10-pound notes were stacked high on the table. "What are you going to do with all that money?" I asked him through the link."Hmm, I don't know. Probably convert it to the pack's fund?" I dug my elbows into his ribs, and he looked at me quizzically, "You know you can't do that. You will be ripping them off of their hard-earned money, and goddess knows they need it. Besides, I have seen the pack's account, and I

    The sun had begun to set on the horizon, and darkness was slowly creeping into the place. But that was when the main show was getting started. According to Richard, I was going to experience the Southampton nightlife. The first place we visited was the Duke of Wellington, commonly known as "the Duke of Boots" by locals. The name was given after its namesake’s famous victory at the Battle of Waterloo. It was a formidable timber-framed building with colorful hanging baskets that greeted our arrival. We were led upstairs to the rooftop. It had a section for the bar and for the restaurant. We got seated in one of the chairs, and I got comfortable. I looked beyond the horizon, watching as the night was taken up by the stars and beautiful street lights. I looked up to see the moonlight shining down on us. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the night breeze. "Enjoying the view?" Richard whispered into my ears, and I nodded. "Yeah, it is beautiful. Thank you for today." He gazed at me, his dark

    The date hasn't even begun, but overall, I was loving it. My skin was glowing after hours of pampering and care. My nails were on fleek, and even my hair was flawless. Apparently Richard told them to get a hair stylist for me because he wants me to look my best. Like can I love this man even more? He was just too sweet.I was heading towards the inner room to go get my clothes when the head of the spa handed me a bag and said it was from Richard, and she was gone like a flash. I looked at the corner where she had disappeared, wondering why she had given me a bag.I peered into the bag, and I could see black wrap. I was skeptical about it, but since it was from Richard, I trusted that it would be something good. Today has been full of surprises, and I wonder what he had planned. I went to the changing room and brought out the items from the bag, and my hunch was correct. It was new clothes.I tore the wrapper off the clothes in a hurry, my heart pounding within my ribcage, wondering

    A date is exactly what I need now. I can't remember the last time we went on a date. As I tried to think of the last time, I was reminded of the first one we went to. It was unarguably my best date ever; not like I have ever had any before that. But he was a total gentleman there, and it was one of the reasons I started falling for him. I wonder where we will be going this time around. Just the thought of it was making me feel giddy. With our busy schedules, we barely had time for ourselves, so I am willing to take this opportunity and enjoy it to the fullest. We took a quick bath together; Richard wanted us to be out of here before he starts getting calls. Otherwise, we may be unable to go after all. "Where are we going to?" I asked him as we were getting dressed. He had been tight-lipped since, probably not wanting to spill. "I don't know, just get dressed; you will know when we get there." "That is the thing; I don't know what to wear. I need to know exactly where we are going

    Richard opened the door, and the stench of alcohol hit me hard. I froze, my sensitive nose wrinkling at the smell of the fermented drink. I glared at him, my mouth pressing into a line. I was pissed at the fact that he left without telling me, making me worried, only to come back drunk. "Take care of him." Someone slurred, and I turned to look at who had brought him; it was his Beta and he also reeked of alcohol. "Ian, wait," but he was already off, staggering to his room while holding the wall for support. I was left alone with Richard, so I moved closer to hold and steady him. He was so drunk that he couldn't stand well. My ear pricked when I heard a loud crash on the floor. "Fucking floor, can you just be straight for a minute?!" He cursed at the ground. I was going to help him up when he called out, "I'm okie dokie; don't worry, Luna." I looked at the corridor, and it seems like he got it under control. He had picked himself up and was staggering back to his room. I shook my h

    "What was the meaning of that, eh?" I questioned him as soon as we got back home. "The meaning of what?" He asked, like he didn't know what he just did. The urge to roll my eyes at him was so strong that I had to resist it. "The meaning of what happened back there with Harry." "Oh, that? That was nothing." He replied nonchalantly. "Why did you grip my waist tighter when he was around?" "Do I have any reason not to do so?" He replied offhandedly while unbuttoning his shirt. "You are my mate, and I can do whatever I want with you." "I know, Richard, but that is beside the point. You were trying to rile him and make him feel jealous." I argued further. "And so what if I did? Why does it bother you?" "It doesn't bother me, but you have to take into account that he doesn't have a mate, and you are rubbing that fact in his face." He sighed, pausing what he was doing, "drop it, Isabella; it is beginning to sound like you care about him." "What is that supposed to mean, he is my frie
