Rhiannon Mate ballThe only hope of finding my mateThe day was finally here. I looked forward to this day hoping I could find my mate after so long and maybe I could finally leave this pack.I knew it would be hard with Kai having been together for so long for me to just move on.Stood by the window watching as different cars came into the pack house, the unfamiliar scents of people arriving.Some used such powerful scents that they covered their wolves. I was looking forward to tonight. It was going to be a night that I could find my mate.A smile curved up on my lips just thinking of what could be. After what happened yesterday, I needed to find my mate so that I could no longer be under Dad’s controlling behaviour.I was tired.Coming out of my room, I headed straight to the kitchen to grab something myself to eat> I slept on an empty stomach and now my stomach won’t stop rumbling.My wolf took her time the entire night to heal, which was great for me. At least my bruises were
How could Dad not tell me anything about hiring that asshole as my bodyguard?He was acting strange these days and forcing an agenda on me when Rodri was there and would take over.Why must I train as if I am preparing for war or something?“Could he be planning on giving me the Beta position as he had suggested before? He wouldn’t. I shook my head.“Please hold still” The makeup artist Michy had recommended to me reminded me again to keep still as she applied makeup.“Sorry” I sniffled backThere was an awkward silence as I listened out to the chatters outside, the loud classical music playing as I sighed heavily.I swear my parents are so old-fashioned. Who still plays classical music?“Are you done now?” I asked her as she finally gave me a mirror to show me a picture of how I looked.Didn’t like wearing makeup, so I went for a natural look makeup with some light pink glossy lipstick.“Perfect! Thank you,” I said to her as she bowed her head before me as she continued packing her
Rhiannon“No! No!” I whimpered, covering my mouth, but I wasn’t dreaming.Kai and Lily were having sex. “Rhia!” Kai gasped, pulling out of Lily as she looked at me with a smirk on her face.“How could you?” I asked him as tears streamed down my face.“Rhia, I can explain” He tried to come closer to me but I turned on my heel, making my way towards the door, running as fast as my heels could allow me.“Rhia please” He grabbed me by my arm trying to stop meI turned around, slapping him across the face as he lowered his head. “Get your filthy hands off me!” I growled, feeling my wolf trying to surface.“Please, It means nothing to me,” He tried to plead with me as I chuckled.He was just like every cheating person, claiming that the person they're fucking around means nothing to them.“You know what disgusts me? Is that you quickly used that statement” I said through gritted teeth as he tried to touch me again.“Stay the fuck away from me,” I said to him as I began to walk away from him
TristanThe next morning after the party, I made my way to the pack house for breakfast. Drake ordered that I always have breakfast with him and his alpha friends.I needed to know which of these assholes supported his cause and how I would get rid of them.The good part about all this is no one knew my face or who I was. Living in the shadows for years helped me to disguise myself while making my way here.“Good morning,” some omegas greeted me while I made my way to his office before heading down for breakfast.“Where’s your sister?” I heard Drake ask Rodrigo while I walked to the living room.“She has a migraine,” he said to her, but I could tell he was lying. After all that whiskey she drank last night, there was no way she wouldn’t wake up with a headache.“She knew we had a guest, and she disappeared. Get her here, now!” He ordered Knocking on the door, I pushed the door open heading into the office.“Good morning,” I said as I looked at Rodrigo, who looked away from me, and t
Rhiannon “I can’t believe Kai would do something like this to you! He is such an asshole!’ Mich fumed as I lay down on the bed, curled up into a ball and she was behind me.“I swear I will make sure he hears from me!” she continued as I sniffed back.‘I saw him at the party looking uncomfortable. I didn’t realize he was fucking around,” She continued, but all I wanted was just to be left alone and someone just to hold me.“Eventually this was going to happen,” I said, sitting up as I wiped my tears and she sat down as well, looking at me pitifully“I knew that this would happen, but I thought it would be when we were both ready to move on,” I sighed heavily, holding myself.“I will forget him. It will be hard but am sure this is for the best that he's gone,” I said to her, forcing a smile on my face.“Oh babes”: She pulled me into a hug holding tight to me as I closed my eyes, letting my tears stream down my face.I was only to be fine. It didn’t matter what I had to go through to
RhiannonDays laterThe past few days, I have tried so much to stay away from Enzo as much as possible. I only attend group training and am usually the first person to come out of training no matter what.Michy suspected something had happened, but I hadn’t said anything. She’s my best friend but I also know immediately that if I say something to her, she will be on her way to share with Rodrigo and honestly, I wasn’t in the mood to argue with anyone.“Ria!’ Kai’s voice came behind me as I made my way out of the gym.“Not now Kai. I’m not interested” I retorted without glancing back at him, trying to make my way back to the house to change for my class.“Ria wait!” He grabbed me by my arm from behind, causing me to stagger a bit before finding my feet.“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I snapped as he swallowed hard, clasping his hands together after letting go of my arm.“Can we talk?” He asked as I scoffed, pursing my lips together as I fought back my tears.“You and I have noth
Rhiannon Getting to Blue Moon for the king’s ball, I was not sure that I wanted to be here tonight with Enzo. “So, will you be fine with him?” Michy asked me while I tried getting ready for the rest of the night. “Yes. I will be” I assured her. Lies. I hated the thought of going with him to the King’s Ball. Who knows what might happen if I am left alone with Enzo and Rodrigo? “Great. What do you think?” She asked, showing me a mirror as I looked at the makeup she just did on me. She used some dark eye shadow, giving me a Smokey eye and red lipstick as I smiled at myself. “I wish you could come with us,” I started as she laughed. “I know. But try to have as much fun as you can, okay?” She asked me as I nodded my head before getting out of the chair and going to put on my dress. It was a black dress with an-line skirt with a side leg slit and sweep train. It was sleeveless, cowl neck bodice secured with adjustable spaghetti straps, open back with corset lace up behind and floor
Rhiannon’s point of viewWe made our way into the hall while I looked around the entrance. The light was illuminating, and the light reflected on the mirrors just made it more interesting.I beamed with a smile as I curtly bowed my head.“Names?” the guard asked me as I looked at Enzo.“Rhiannon and Enzo of Crimson Claw,” I said to the guard, who lightened up. I did not know where Enzo was from, so I just included him in the Crimson Claw.“Unfortunately, I don’t see an Enzo of Crimson Claw,” the guard said after scrolling through the list.“It should be there. He is my plus one and my brother Rodrigo is coming behind us,” I said to him as he mouthed an ‘oh’.“Enzo De Oliveira,” He said to the man as he quickly checked the list.“You are welcome.” He gestured for us to go into the hall. Opening the door to the most.Crystal chandeliers spiralled down from the arching sky-blue ceiling, illuminating the glimmering black and silver walls.Low chatter over soft classical music accompanies
Rhiannon’s Point Of ViewGetting back home, all I could see were empty streets, as if no one lived in them.All the beautiful places that I used to come to burn down.My vision. This is what it meant. I blinked back as I tried to link to Rodrigo. He was not back at Tristan’s pack, so that means he should be here.I need to find him, but before that; I need to find out something.As soon as we arrive at the pack house, I notice the statue in the fountain in front of the house has been knocked over.A few unfamiliar faces stand guards on the gates and patrolling the pack house. I get out of the car looking around, wondering where Rodrigo would be.I walk behind Tristan as he leads the way into the house. I would have run away, but then I cannot shit without hurting the baby.We get into the pack house and the smell of burnt steak hits my nostrils. I am quick to cover my nose, as it makes me nauseous.“Are you okay?” Joel asks me and I nod my head.“Alpha!” The men stand in line as soo
Tristan’s Point of View“Are you sure this is the only way? What about Sawyer?” He asked me, as I swallowed hard, unsure if I could trust him.“Most Alphas are against the takeover of her Crimson Claw pack. This is the only way I can have a claim over that pack and I don’t plan on letting them claim it because somehow they are connected to it,” I added, fixing the sleeves of my shirt.Two weeks ago, I asked Rhiannon to marry me to save her people, and she was not hesitant. After this marriage, I would send Rhiannon with some people back there to help lead that pack while keeping some people here with me.Knowing that she was pregnant with me messed up Sawyer, but she knows everything that I am doping is because I want her to have a future where she does not have to fight for her place.“Hey,” she walked in as I packed my things, Joel getting up to his feet about to walk away.“Hi” “So what now? Have you decided who will be coming with you?” She asks me as I nod my head.“We have a fe
Rhiannon’s point of viewMarriage? Did I hear him correctly?I burst out laughing while holding my tummy as I looked at him waiting for my response.“I would rather bite my tongue and die than get married to you” I said through gritted teeth, my voice breaking knowing what I might condemn Michy to.I know he probably doesn’t believe what I’m saying but if he tried to force me I would definitely do it.“Think about your friends and their families. I will give you some time to think it over” he said walking out of the room.I swallow hard watching him walk away from me. To think I had once started imagining a family with him.Tears fill my eyes as I think about what he just said.All I can think about is what Michy might go through.The next couple of days I have my blood transfusion and about to head back to the cells.The doctor walks in before Joel can take me back and he gives me some pills “This is good for the growing baby and you” he said as I looked at the packaging of the pill
Rhiannon’s Point of ViewI thought I had seen it all in life. When Sawyer took me to that place, I feared for my baby.The baby I did not even want, but I feared what those men would do to me.What those filthy hands would try to do to me? I closed my eyes as I curled up on the bed in the corner while Michy watched me in the other corner.“What happened out there Rhia?” She finally asked, after staring at me for hours.Tears begin to roll down my face; my lips are pressed together as I close my eyes, feeling the hot tears go down my cheeks.‘Rhia’ she linkedI bury my head in my knees, letting the tears stream down my cheeks. I needed to find a way to get out of here. How do we get everyone left of the pack out of here?Others have already bent the knee to him, so it will not be easy to get their support, but for the sake of my baby, I was going to fight and get out of this hellhole.‘What are you not telling me?’ Michy asked, coming closer to me as I pressed my lips together, not su
Sawyer’s point of view“No. I don’t love her,” he said to me., looking away from me as that bitch swallowed hard. I could hear his heart racing when he said that.She must have heard his heart as well.“She’s only pregnant. Once she gives—““Pregnant? Did you say pregnant?” I asked him,He nods.I burst out laughing, tears streaming down my face as I looked into his eyes. He wasn’t serious.“She’s pregnant?’ I ask again just so that I can get clarity about what I just heard.I must be dreaming.I must be in dreamland because how the hell is this bitch pregnant with Tristan? How the hell did he not think of using protection when he fucked with her?“She can’t have this baby,” I said“Let’s talk about this inside.”He turned on his heel, grabbed her by her elbow and walked away as I clenched my jaws, watching them.I blink back my tears, trying not to make a fool of myself after what he just said. I cannot believe he would do something like this to me.I tried to get pregnant, and he w
Tristan’s point of view“Enzo! Help!” Rhiannon’s voice came as my eyes furrowed wondering why she was shouting for me.“What’s going on?” I link to Joel while I type up something on my phone“I don’t understand. What do you mean?” He replies as I swallowed hard“Why is Rhiannon shouting? I asked you to take her to the shelter?” I asked him and he keeps quiet.“I will check it out” he replies“Don’t” I will have to check it out myself as I make my way out of my office heading to the shelter.I notice a few cars are gone but that should be Sawyer going out for her usual routine.I head into the shelters, taking in the different scents that hit my nostrils while the people locked up threw insults at me.I reach at the end of the cells where Rhiannon is supposed to be and find she is not there.“Where is she?” I ask no one in particular as Michele sniffled back getting up to her feet“Why are you asking me? Your mistress came to get her” she fumes as I raised my eyebrows.Fucking Sawye
Rhiannon’s point of viewMate. Dead. Father, Dead. Brother. Dead. Mother dead.All the people I care about are dead. What was the reason to go on living? I had no sense anymore.I wanted to end it all, end my suffering before that cruel man made me go through so much.I needed to end it. I cannot believe I let him in. I opened my heart to him, willing to love him and he had to betray me?Slowly, my eyes opened the light in my eyes as I struggled to stay awake. I groaned softly as I picked the scent of Enzo or alpha Tristan.It must be a dream. Why would I smell it? Why was I? Wasn’t it heaven? I try to open my eyes and I see him standing there.Cargo pants, a black t-shirt with a black blazer, his hand tucked under his arm. The other hand gently strokes his chin.I try to lift my hand, but my hands are tied to the bed. ‘Don’t bother. It’s safer like that,” he growls, walking towards me as I sniffle bac
Tristan’s Point of ViewStanding by watching everything that Drake loved burn down to the ground brought me so much satisfaction, but nothing made me so happy than being back home.Being where I could finally be addressed by my name and I did not have to spend nights alone in a black cold room.“What do you plan on doing with her?” Sawyer asked me as soon as I got back into my bedroom,I sat on the bed, pulling off the boots that I had on.“I haven’t thought of what I will do” I retorted, my eyes roaming around the bedroom, which I left over two years ago.“T.J., we can’t have her here. I do not want—““She’s staying here. I have plans for her,” I concluded, getting up from the bed, and heading into the bathroom to shower.“But…” she was about to say as I closed the door behind me. I turned on the shower, letting the hot water run down on my skin. The burning sensation was what I needed. I needed to feel something else other than what I was feeling.I wanted so much to hurt her, but I
Rhiannon’s point of view“What?” I asked, getting up to my feet as my father lowered his head.“Is this true?” Rodrigo asked Dad, who did not dare look at him, avoiding at all costs even glancing at him.“You are lying!” I said to Enzo, who smirked as he came closer to me. I moved back as I thought about what he tried to do to me just a few minutes ago.I cannot believe I was sleeping with such a man. I thought that maybe he was human. But he was a monster and didn’t even care about anything,“Why don’t you ask him?” he said to me as I turned to my father, hoping he would tell me Enzo was lying to me, that Enzo was just trying to bring hatred between us.“He killed your mate because he was a lowly omega. Ask him,” Enzo insisted as I closed my eyes, shaking my head.“Dad?” I turned to him as he swallowed hard, looking into my eyes.“He didn’t deserve you. You think that I would allow my daughter to be married to a slave?” Dad asked me as tears fell from my eyes, unable to control every
