Brielle inhaled a deep breath as her eyes met Ryker’s. Butterflies fluttered within her upon the sight of him, whilst her mind grew frustrated by what she considered to be an unreasonable outburst. Fury transformed Ryker’s expression. He was already growing sick of the man before him. Prince or not, he needed to stay away from his mate. It seemed as though every time he turned around, he found the pair together. It felt like a dagger in the heart every time he saw her laugh with Arlen, seeing how comfortable and playful she was around him. He desperately wanted that for himself with her. Brielle noticed how Ryker’s once gorgeous blue eyes shone black with anger as they locked onto Arlen. With a loud huff and a roll of her eyes, she addressed him. “Would you calm down?” She insisted. “It’s not what it looks like.” Ryker’s brows quirked as he met Brielle’s gaze. “Oh, is it not?” He responded sarcastically. “Because what it looks like is every time I turn around he se
Brielle let out a deep breath as she stretched out her limbs. She rolled onto her side and admired the view from the floor-to-ceiling window in her room. The sun was shining bright, without a cloud in the sky. She smiled faintly as she wrapped herself deeper into her duvet, she had loved waking up to this scene the last few mornings. Oh and this bed, she thought as she sunk deeper into the mattress. She felt on cloud nine, at least for a moment, before she suddenly shot up in horror. Today was the day. The day it all really began. “Crap.” She muttered, as she shuffled to the edge of the bed. She let out a loud yawn as she scratched the side of her head, before shuffling to her en-suite. “You ready, O?” She questioned as she warily gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Ocean snorted confidently. “Please, I was born ready.” Now this was her confident Alpha wolf, Brielle had been questioning whether Ocean had turned soft lately, but her wolf’s words put a grin on her
“As this is the first challenge, I’ve decided to start you off easy.” Queen Serena announced to the eagerly awaiting participants, however, the twinkle in her eye told them nothing about this whole thing was going to be easy. “Well… not too easy, what would be the fun in that?” She grinned as she took a seat on her throne. The Queen crossed her leg over the other and gently rested her palms on the chair arms. The room remained silent as each individual awaited her next words. The Queen smiled and nodded her head. “This challenge shall differ as it will just be myself who will determine the winner. However, from all future challenges, my husband shall join us. You should expect to see members of the Royal Court in future also. They will be present to ensure any decisions made remain unbiased and true to the cause.” Just as the Queen finished her final words, Jacques Thompkins entered the hall. Brielle recognised him from the day she had arrived at Amaris, he was the one who had
Brielle, Harlie and Scarlett giggled as they fell backwards onto Brielle’s bed. Each let out a long sigh of relief as they stared at the ceiling. “You did it.” Harlie gasped dramatically. Brielle gave her a gentle nudge as she chuckled dryly. “Don’t sound so shocked.” Brielle grinned at her sister. Harlie shook her head absentmindedly. “I just never thought you were listening when I used to read my books to you.” Scarlett scoffed as she lifted up her body and rested on her elbows. “I definitely wasn’t.” Brielle laughed at her Gamma, whilst Harlie gave the girl a pointed look. “I guess some things stuck with me.” Brielle admitted as she shrugged her shoulders. “Now,” Scarlett began, as she side-eyed Harlie. “When are you going to stop drooling over that Beta?!” She questioned the suddenly blushing girl. “I wasn’t drooling!” Harlie reached for one of Brielle’s pillows and threw it at Scarlett. Scarlett gasped as she caught the pillow, before throwing it back at Harlie. “Oh
Ryker smiled anxiously as he waited for a response from Brielle. He was praying she hadn’t changed her mind about the date, he and Mace had been waiting for this moment since they first rested their eyes upon her. He just hoped she liked what they had planned.Brielle bit down on her lower lip before turning to face Harlie and Scarlett for an indication on what to do. The duo ferociously nodded their heads in encouragement, wanting Brielle to seize the moment.With a faint sigh, Brielle met Ryker’s nervous gaze. “Am I dressed okay? Or should I go change?” She questioned as she glanced down at her comfortable clothing.Ryker’s smile widened as he took Brielle’s response as an agreement she would come. “You look perfect.” He insisted, as he handed her the bouquet of lilies. “These are for you.”Brielle’s pupils dilated as she brought the lilies to her nose, taking in a deep whiff of their floral scent. She gleamed as her eyes met Ryker’s once more, whilst her heart skipped at beat at hi
Ryker turned his attention to the picnic basket by the side of them and started lifting out dishes he had grabbed for this evening.“Now,” he started. “A little birdie told me that you have a thing for biscoff?” He cocked his brow slightly as he glanced at Brielle.A mischievous grin crept onto Brielle’s lips as she let out a soft chuckle. “That may be true.” She admitted.“So its a good thing I packed this then?” He asked, as he dangled a jar of biscoff in front of Brielle.Brielle’s eyes widened in delight as she reached for the jar. “It’s definitely a good thing.” She agreed as she unscrewed the lid, desperate to dig in already. However, the night in the kitchen with River suddenly flashed in her mind. “Is River the one who told you about this?” She questioned as frown transformed her expression.Ryker sighed as he noticed Brielle’s expression harden. “He’s not as bad as you think he is, you know.”Brielle snorted as she rolled her eyes. “Yeah, he’s a real delight.”Ryker let out a
“He kissed you?!” Harlie exclaimed before her jaw almost hit the floor. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing, one minute her sister didn’t want to be in the same room as the triplets and the next she’s kissing one of them.“How was it?” Scarlett queried with a cautious expression. Brielle rolled her eyes as she chuckled, before returning her eyes to the path ahead.“It was…” she begun as she took a moment to choose the right word. “Breathtaking.” Brielle smiled slightly to herself as she thought back to last night.“It was dreamy.” Ocean swooned as she rested her snout on her front paws. She had been in cloud nine ever since, but she knew she still had work to do when it came to encouraging her human counterpart to accept the other two of their mates.Harlie and Scarlett shrieked as they continued their journey to the training field. “I knew you’d cave!” Harlie admitted with a smug grin.Brielle knitted her brows together as she glanced at her sister. “I’ve not caved, it was one
Reid took no time at all to take down one of the Amaris warriors, he didn’t quite beat River’s record but the display was equally as impressive.Now it was Brielle’s turn and to say she was feeling slightly flustered, well that was an understatement. But she could hardly be blamed, she had just watched two of her mates display impeccable strength and each take down an extreme large wolf without merely breaking a sweat.It had her mind working wonders, bringing images to the forefront of her mind that she really couldn’t afford to be focussing on right now. Of course Ocean was of no assistance whatsoever, if anything she was only adding fuel to the fire and completely losing sight on the end goal here.Brielle placed her hand behind her neck as she furrowed her brows, attempting to refocus her attention.Harlie shuffled closer to her sister, noticing her distracted state. “Bri, are you alright?” She whispered, although it was hardly a whisper. They were amongst several werewolves who c
