The only place Riviera could think of going, is to the cave. So she does, by teleporting herself there.
The place has a more earthly scent to it, I sign that rain would fall.
Riviera plop down beside her bags, not wanting to feel sorry for herself, but she does.
If she wasn't so afraid of her feelings or hated her mother, she would have been in a bed under the covers ready to sleep.
"Stop your whining, you chose this, the path of the lone wolf." Luca barks.
Just then a loud rumbling is heard outside of the cave, then the walls shake.
There is a flash of light, then the loud rumbling comes again.
Lightening cracks in a nearby tree, igniting it.Riviera jumps over a fallen tree, as she races her way to Sabastian.She only makes it to the main road when she sees a massive grey wolf running across the road.It stops in his tracks, then turns in her direction."You." It growls.And for the first time, Riviera got a full read on the wolf, and who it really is."It has been you all along?" Riviera eyes widen, out of disbelief she takes a step closer."But why?""Why, why explain my cause of you won't be alive long enough to see it? I'm taking this pack, build it back better than ever and anyone that stands against me will be killed. First I will get rid of you, then the Alpha. I already have a small alliance of people you would never suspect, just as how you didn't suspect me.""You just told me your plan, but ok."The wolf let's out a howl, Riveria lets out a might roar. The only difference is Riveria's howl is
"I Riviera Mendes reject you, Sabastian Belmont, as my mate. You are weak and I don't see you as fit to protect me from any harm." With her words said, Sabastian feels a pain in his chest and as if she slapped him in the face. "You can't reject me." Sabastian said, trying to reach out for Riviera. Riviera sneers at him out of anger, "you are the most annoying person I know. You could have got both of us killed. You even just stabbed me. What mate does that? And remember, this is what you want. You said so in the cave. So I reject you. Now leave me alone." A growl escape Sabastian's lips. "Oh, look at you growling. What are you going to do? Stab me again." But instead, to both of their surprise. Sabastian grabs Riviera's face and kissed her hard on the lips. The shock Riviera has in the beginning melts away, while emotions flood over her. As she enjoys her first real kiss, but the excitement soon wears off only to be replaced with hate.
As Sabastian stands in the shower, he didn't know what hurts more. His ego, the bruises that still haven't healed, or his erection.But he knows that he can take care of two, the other just have to remain the same until people stop talking.Closing his eyes, Sabastian makes a fist around his rock hard member, then moves his hand back and forth.At first, he growls out.It isn't what his wolf wants, they both want their mate. Riviera. Even though she has no intention of allowing him to take her to bed. And has rejected him."F*ck." Sabastian punches the tiled wall, breaking a few as he did.It made no sense he try to pleasure himself, because he wouldn't get much from it and he wouldn't be able to spill his seed.The only way that is possible is to have sex with his mate, have her break his seal, then he can move on and f*ck whoever he wants. Even choosing a new mate.But she is being hard-headed, and he wouldn't let her slip ou
Riviera sits cross leg, trying her best to figure out how to get to the demon wolf past.Just as she has her breathing under control, and focus on Luca's past, hoping it can give her the lead she wants.She hears her mother's voice, faintly saying. "There she is, by the pool.""Don't let them touch you." Luca's voice comes, but by then it is too late.Kylie, Sabastian and Mary-Kate, are all pulled into the whirlwind and thrown in the past, just by being close to Riviera."Is she doing this?" Mary-Kate asks, trying to steady herself."How did they get here? Riviera ask, getting to her feet and noticing that they are all standing I'm a big open field."They got pulled in.""Just my luck.""Riviera, what is this?" Her mother asks, her hands on her hips and tapping one foot."I don't have time for this, Mary-Kate. There are bigger problems at hand. If you want to leave, find a way to use your powers to do so."
It didn't take long for them to find people, that wore dresses instead of jeans and ride horses instead of cars."Oh, we are in the past, past." Kylie said."I think our way of dressing will be a problem." Sabastian said, looking down at his attire."Strangers come with me." A woman with a basket full of fruits on her head said as she passes them by."Alberta?" Sabastian looks at her in surprise."Is there another Alberta?" Alberta asks. "Now come before someone else sees you and affects the timeline."They follow Alberta to where her house is, just behind the forest and though there are a lot of people around in the same area, they didn't seem to take notice of the people from the future."The Wasteside." Kylie said, noting that it doesn't like it does in her time."The what now?" Alberta asks.Kylie opens her mouth to explain it to her, but Riviera stops her."Careful, we can't say too much to mess with the futu
"I see that I am not the only one who thinks that the things the Fates do are a load of filth." The Alpha said, then laugh."I wish we never had to answer to them or the gods. They never interfere with the humans, so why us?" Mary-Kate said, having no remorse at her story."Now, there is someone that I like. I would like to get to know you better, maybe discuss a few things." Alpha Gerald smile.The female that is leaning on the Alpha’s shoulder, cast a look at Mary-Kate, then gets up, letting out a soft growl."Anyone else has anything to share?" Alpha Gerald ask, not even bothering to go after his mate.The silence is heavy on the pack members."Komina, is it?" Luca asks. "Did you see or know anything about the men that had attacked your pack?""No, where I lived was further away from the main living area." Riviera tells him.Mary-Kate scoffs, "I'm not going to sit and listing to this anymore.""You can go then.
Aurora cries out as she feels contractions, gripping the grass around her and causing it to turn brown."We need warm water." Luca said."On it." Riviera conjures up a pan with warm water, and other things Luca will need to help his mate.Noth before long, a few hard pushes, and Luca using his teeth to bite the umbilical cord. The baby gives a wail that made everyone cover their ears."She had some lungs there." Kylie said.Riviera, feeling compelled to look at the child, she step closer and peeks at the baby that is wrapped in a yellow cloth."Holy Zeus." Riviera gives out, then steps back and falling over the log Luca was sitting on."What is it, child?" Luca asks."That baby.""Yes, it's a baby." Luca nods."No, that's me." Riviera lets out. Now with confusion rippling through her mind."What are you talking about? That is impossible." Sabastian said, going over to look at the newborn."I know wha
Riviera and Luca use their abilities to mask their scent and present so that they could snoop on Gerald without him noticing.When they get to a large oak tree, they see him entering the only cottage in the pack."Lets get closer." Sabastian suggests."Smart." Riviera and Luca said at the same time.Sabastian makes a grunting sound, but keeps his thought to himself.Looking through the window, they can see Gerald, along with his 5 sons and 2 daughters, who are sitting on the ground as they consult with a woman."A witch." Sabastian states the obvious."The potions are ready, but just know that it is very potent and will end their lives if the spirits don't take to them well." The witch said, handing the Alpha bottles of black and grey liquids to him."I'm sure that this will work. I trust your magic. I also trust that you have recreated that Luca's powers exactly. And once I give this to my children, they all will surpass even
"I still can't believe that you knew we were mated to each other all this time."''Yes, but I was afraid to say anything. You know how the Fates are."Sabastian kiss Riviera as she sits cross-legged on the bed before him."After a week, and I still can't believe you are my mate." Sabastian said as he pulls away from her."Do you want to mark each other to make it more real?" Riviera suggests.Sabastian smiles, but it quickly fades.“Are you sure that this is what you want?""Sabastian, you are my mate. Of course, this is what I want."Sabastian nods, then removes his shirt.Riviera takes a deep breath to drink in his intoxicating scent. Then let her blouse fall off one of her shoulder to protect her innocent, as she is still virgin.Sabastian leans forward to kiss her neck, causing her to shiver and gasp."Your skin is so smooth, soft and smells so good." Sabastian said, running his lips back and fort
Riviera sits before her friend and her new found mate, as they spend most of the lunch hour making out.Riviera nods her head to unheard music, while trying to look elsewhere but at them.Kylie pulls away from Henson, then gasps."Riviera! I just remembered. Your birthday is tomorrow. Are you going down to the beach tonight?"Kylie pushes her mate away when he tries to pull her into another kiss."No, I told you before I'm not too interested in this and have my own traditions.''"Like what? You are so boring." Henson puts across."Not something a normal wolf like you would understand." Riviera tells him."Why did you say that?" Kylie asks, slapping her mate on the shoulder."Because it is true. You have all these awesome powers and don't show them off. You never go partying. So what is the point?""You can be an ass-hat sometimes." Kylie said, pulling away from him."It's fine. I mean, my boring lifestyle i
The morning before her eighteenth birthday, Riviera gets a call from Kylie, which wakes her from her sleep."Kylie, it's five in the morning." Riviera said into her phone."I know, but I think I can smell my mate."Riviera groans, "Kylie, you wake me up to tell me this?""Sorry, dumb I know, but I had to share it with someone.""And you chose me?""Yes, because my sister is in her room with her mate. Anyway, would you like to be a part of the midnight celebration as well?""No, I have my own traditions.""Will, if you should change your mind, you have until Thursday.""Bye, Kylie, I'm going back to sleep.""Wait, wait, wait. Will you be coming tonight?""I'm hanging up." Riviera said, pressing the call end button, then throwing her phone at the foot of her bed.Even though Riviera rolls over to find a better spot, she still can't bring herself to fall asleep again.Giving up, and knowing her p
And even after two days, whatever was in the shadow never truly stepped out, but lingers just enough for Riviera to sense it.And now, today at school, Riviera can feel something stalking her from the dark."Keep it up and I'll be forced to destroy you." Riviera said to a dark corner as she passes by.The feeling of being watched immediately goes away."Hey bestie." Kylie said, running up to Riviera."You seem excited." Riviera notes."Because tomorrow is my birthday and I can't wait for the stroke of midnight to see who my mates is."Riviera almost tells her friend to not get her hopes up, but she doesn't want to sound rude. Even though she doesn't want to see her friend get her feeling hurt again."And Friday is mine." Riviera gives a smile."This is so exciting." Kylie claps.The two walks to their next class, which was Math, to see Jason sitting by himself.He looks up then quickly looks down to avoid t
Riviera gets back home at around one pm. She immediately knew that someone had been in her room. She doesn't recognise the scent the person left behind. In fact, it doesn't smell like another wolf or any other creature she came across before.Riviera tries to use her power to sense out if she could pick up on who it was, but comes up with nothing.Riviera hurries downstairs to where her little brother is playing with his tablet and her mother is reading a book."Mom, did someone come here today?""No, why?""Someone has been in my room.""That's odd. I was by myself the entire time and never picked up on a
"Tell me about yourself, Sabastian.""You are the all knowing true Alpha. You should know everything about me."Riviera scoffs, "ok fine. Just like me see, that was your first kiss. Both of us acted out of impulse. You have been to two hundred and thirty-seven countries, mostly Europe. Your favourite colour is blue. You are the only child and your heart is racing a mile per hour because you never expected me to do this."Sabastian chuckles, "do you normally violate people like that?""No, it is something I don't enjoy doing because everyone deserves their own privacy. And I only scratch the surface so I didn't see much.""I was only joking. With me, it's totall
Riviera tries to tiptoe up the stairs. Even though her parents were lenient with her coming home past midnight, she doesn't want to make too much noise to wake anyone up.Suddenly the lights switch on."Was that the Alpha?" Her father asks.Riviera freeze."Uh, yes, yes it was.""What did he want?""To make sure I got home safe.""Well, that was awfully nice of him.''Luca gets up and walks over to his daughter."He didn't do anything to you
Kylie begins to squeal as her peers count down."This is so exciting." She said, grabbing Riviera by the upper arm and shaking her."Five, four, three." Kylie said.When it gets to midnight, Riviera glances around wondering what is suppose to happen now. Cheering goes up when Jason walks over to Joy, the girl Riviera, and Kylie saw him with.Kylie makes a whimpering sound.Riviera brushes against her. “Trust me, when your time comes, you will be too happy to focus on him.""Man, my little brother found his mate before I did. Now there is one more thing I won't be able to live down." Justin said.Sabastian scoffs, "trying being the Alpha."Kylie groans out of frustration."Riviera, can you take me home, please?" She asks.Sabastian gets up at the same time Riviera does."Justin, make sure this ends by twelve-thirty. I will make sure Riviera and Kylie get home safe.""There is no need. I drove he
Riviera drums her fingers on her steering wheel as she waits outside the colonial-style house where Kylie lives.The other she-wolf comes running out, dressed in a white shorts and orange top, making Riviera suddenly feel under dressed. As she has on an oversized gray sweater, a pair of black jeans and black converse."Ready to go." Kylie said, after entering the car."Where to?""The beach. That's where all the teen parties are kept."At first, the two of them are silent."So, who is going to turn eighteen?""Jason, Keith and Audrey."Riviera said nothing until they arrive at the beach."Wow, seems as if everyone from school is here." Riviera said, noting that even those from the lower class are present."It's kind of a big thing. Everyone gets excited about it.""And a lot of underage drinking." Riviera said."What are you, the police?" A boy walking by with his friends stops."No, but she w
