Aine’s Point of ViewAfter Tyga told me he loved me, we both fell fast asleep. I didn't reply, and it was beginning to eat away at me. Did I love Tyga? Of course I did. He's my mate, he takes care of me and treats me well, he's gorgeous...what's not to love? I was so stunned when he said it that I didn't have time to collect my thoughts before he fell asleep. He's called me 'love' many times and even made comments about loving me, but until last night he hadn't spoken those three very important words.Did he really love me? I'm his mate, and he obviously cares for me, but can such a serious man truly love?I hadn't slept much through the night. I dozed off a few times only to wake up again. It was now around seven in the morning, and I knew Tyga would be awake soon. I slowly turned over to face him, anticipating his bright blue eyes to open soon.After several minutes of laying there, facing Tyga with my eyes closed, I heard him yawn. My eyes slowly fluttered open and instantly lock
"You look beautiful, by the way," Tyga told me, lightly taking my hand in his while he remained focused on the road. As one would expect from me, I blushed.It took us about twenty minutes to drive to the nearby town. It was of what I considered an average size, and humans filled the sidewalks making their way to lunch, work, shopping, or whatever it was they did on a daily basis. The majority of the buildings that lined the road were log-style, just like the buildings of Black Cerberus pack. I found the town to be very charming. It was definitely an upgrade from the town nearest to Lapis Lazuli Pack.Tyga finally found a place to park and led me down the sidewalk, keeping my hand gently folded into his. I couldn't help but notice the looks other women were giving us as they passed by. He was a very attractive man, and apparently, I wasn't the only one who thought so. I felt the green finger of jealousy poking at my stomach as I watched women plead for his attention with their eyes.
After Ryne repeatedly ignored Tyga’s demands to leave, Tyga finally snapped and threw himself over the table, punching his brother square in the jaw. I shrieked and pushed myself into the corner against the window as the two men fought next to me. Tyga looked merciless. He repeatedly punched Ryne and I could see his wolf in his eyes, begging to break free. This had to stop! I had never seen Tyga this cold-blooded and angry before, and it was really frightening.The managers of the restaurant ran over and struggled to pull the men apart. I was thankful, because this distracted Tyga from his fight. If his wolf had managed to break through and the humans witnessed him shift, the entire pack would be in even more danger than it already was."All of you! Get out now before I call the police!" one of the managers yelled.I reached out to grab Tyga's arm in an attempt to pull him off of Ryne, but he shook me off. He stood up on his own and stormed out the front door. I forced myself to reg
Tyga nodded. "They're more common than you'd think. They're typically not evil or anything like that, but they are great for uncovering information. We're looking into finding and hiring a trustworthy one ourselves, to help with this whole situation." I shook my head in disbelief. Of course, I believed what Tyga was telling me, it was just difficult to wrap my mind around. "What were you and Ryne yelling at each other about after I got in the car?" I asked. "I was telling him to stay away from us, especially you, and to quit talking to you like that. He'd always been a flirt, but the things he was saying were really making me uneasy," Tyga was beginning to sound upset as he brought up Ryne's conversation with me. I hadn't heard these kinds of emotions in Tyga's voice before. "I don't understand why he's against me, treating me like an enemy. We were actually close growing up, and I thought he had been murdered just like everyone else, but he's very much alive, which could only
I stared at Ryne for quite some time in utter confusion. Why did he want to talk to me so badly? Better yet, why was he talking to me this way and acting like I was causing him pain? Well, there was only one way to find out. I was going to have to talk to him...against my mate's wishes. I knew if Tyga found out about any of this he would be furious with me and probably kill Ryne.I closed my eyes, took in a deep breath, and then released it."Okay, Ryne, what do you need to talk to me about," I asked, sighing."Come into the woods so no one sees us," he said. I frowned."I am most certainly not going into the woods with you!" I huffed. Was this man truly ignorant? He must know that I'm aware he has some kind of affiliation with the rogues, yet he has the audacity to ask me to step into the woods, which my mate has forbid me from, with him?Ryne sighed and shook his head. "Fine, at least stay here in the garden," he requested. I nodded and impatiently waited for him to start talking."
I turned the water on as hot as I could stand and jumped right in. I reached for my lavender scented shampoo that Tyga had requested Olivia get for me. He said I smelled like lavender and vanilla, so the shampoo would only enhance my natural scent. After washing my hair thoroughly and then my body, I stepped out of the shower and dressed myself in some casual black leggings and one of Tyga's white, long sleeve t-shirts.I let my hair dry naturally and didn't bother with my makeup. It would be dinner time soon, and as far as I knew, it would just be Tyga, Mary Ann, and myself, as usual."Are you going to tell him about Ryne?" my wolf questioned me."Of course not! Are you crazy? He would be livid!" I replied to her.She whimpered in my head. "I don't like us lying to mate."I groaned and exited the bathroom, walking straight into Tyga.He smirked at me in amusement. "Now, now, what's got you so frustrated, love?" he asked, pulling me tightly against his chest. Sparks erupted from our s
After the formal part of the ceremony ended, it was time for the pack run. Everyone able to participate gathered outside of the pack house. The males separated into one group and the females into another. Tyga and I would lead both groups, the females following behind me and the males behind him. Olivia was directly behind me, since she was the Gamma female, and Griffin was directly behind Tyga.All of us shifted into our wolf forms, our nudity not being an issue in that moment. At the back of my mind, I worried about seeing Ryne in the crowd earlier. Was he among the pack for the run? My wolf forced these thoughts out of our head as we shifted. She was in control now, and she was determined to have a good run with her pack which she never experienced in our old mate and pack. Tyga and I looked at each other in our wolf forms. We stared for quite some time before Tyga started howling. I took this as my cue and began to howl with him. One by one, rank by rank, our pack howled with us.
“Will it be okay if I’ll bring the kids to the aquarium park in the city?” I asked Tyga and he smiled. The kids gasped.“Aquarium? For real mom? That's far away from here,” Eion said. Unsure if Tyga would let us but I could see the excitement in his eyes.“Yeah you can go. Take Olivia and two other capable warriors with you,” Tyga said. The kids squealed in excitement. “Can we go tomorrow mom?” “Yeah. Will go tomorrow. “My pack owned an apartment a few streets away from the Aquarium. You can use that. Perhaps, two days will suffice, Aine?” Tyga said and looked at me which I excitedly nodded as an answer. We ate our lunches and made light conversation before it was time for me and the kids to leave Tyga to deal with Alpha business, yet again. I wasn't sure when I would get to really take over my duties as Luna, no one had told me, but I decided not to press the issue right now with tensions still high in the pack."I think I'm going to take another walk to the garden today with t
