60 The boy in the shadows
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56And 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

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

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

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."

The Alpha's True Alpha Prologue
Riviera Mendes, an 18-year-old high school senior. Who can only be described as an All-American girl from California, who loves to skate, surf and go on some wild adventure, never expected her mother to root her up from the life she knows and loves. She didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to her friends, or even the chance to egg Perez Hilton's house like she wanted to. It was an overnight surprise for her, and a day of packing and moving to a new life. Riviera sits in the back of her mother's red Range Rover with a sulking look on her face. She never thought of the day her world would flip and not for the best. She can't believe her mother is forcing her from the life she knows in Santa Monica, to some gated community she has never heard about. She still can't believe what her mother had told her two nights ago. She didn't even break it to her gently. All her mother said was. "I'm a werewolf and so are you.'' Riviera's head spins from that. Never
The Alpha's True Alpha 1 Welcome Havendale
Riviera peeks out the window at the brass imposing double gates that lead to her new home. "Havedale?” Riviera watches as two approaching brawny men bend to look in the car. They somehow look like oversized babies on steroids. Just by looking at them, Riviera guesses she is a couple feet taller than them, but she knows better than to try to pick a fight. They had that brooding look, hairy hands, and some sort of weapon in their hands. Riviera does a double-take, only to realize that they aren't hands, but paws with long brown claws that almost seem dirty. "What is your business here?'' One asks. "Mary-Kate Mend-'' Mary-K
The Alpha's True Alpha 2 That's the Alpha?
The next day Riviera listens to her mother and explores the community. She wants to get away from the noise and confusion in her yard, but mostly in hopes to see that man that caught her eye. Everyone seems friendly. Either smiling, waving at her. Or coming up to her and having conversations with her. She soon grows tired of saying her name and introducing herself over and over, and even tired of trying to find her mystery man. "Hey,'' Riviera turns to the voice. Her eyes widen at the sight before her and she had to hold back a laugh. The girl before her has a botched face, looking like a b-list celebrity with mismatching lips (her top lip is fat and hangs over her lower lip, which is daunted in pink lipstick.) Her fake fash
The Alpha's True Alpha 3 I throw a pool party that turns into a fight?
For almost a week after the accident, Riviera stayed inside. Trying to escape the pity party, which seems to always turn up at her doorstep, and she is also trying to avoid the Alpha. Still not understanding her infatuation with him. She doesn't understand half the stuff that is going on. Her mother had told her that when school starts, she will learn all she needs to know, but she doesn't want to learn anything. All she wants to do is go back home. She is missing all the summer fun with her friends. They should go on a mini camping trip today. Riviera stares at the newly installed pool. She doesn't even have a way to contact them. Thinking that it must confuse them when they went to her old house and find that it is empty. Would they think someone has kidnapped her? Riviera groans, then gets up from her window seat and makes her way downstairs for breakfast. She feels so alone in this big house. Her mother is always at work. The maid, Justina, said lit
The Alpha's True Alpha 4 My new school gets flood?
"Riviera, time to get up, it's almost time for school.'' Mary-Kate shakes her daughter awake. Riviera opens one eye then turns away from her mother. "I don't want to go to school." Mary-Kate sighs before taking a seat on Riviera's bed, "I know that this sudden change has been hard for you but I promise it will only get better." "You don't know that, you don't have to go through high school,'' Riviera grumbles. "Trust me, I've had my fair share back in the day. It was hard for me too, my parents moved a lot. I didn't understand why. And the colour of my skin made it hard to fit in anywhere. I was either too dark for the white kids, or too light for the black kids. It was hard for me to fit in until that day I made friends. I'm sure that you will find some common ground with someone, like that boy that surfs.'' Riviera wasn't listening to her mother's rumblings. She got lost somewhere between my parents and moving. That might have been the first

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.

"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.

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
The Alpha's True Alpha 55 Bonfire
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
