**Rhiannon**
The drinks kept on coming one after the other; the music bursting loud While Michele danced the night away In Rodri’s arms who couldn’t let go of her.I didn’t even bother to look at the time to see that it was getting closer to midnight.My head was spinning, and I felt so pressed after all the drinks.“Where are you going?” Kaiden asked.He grabbed my hand as I stood up, wanting to get up.“I want to go to the ladies” I leaned in, practically shouting in his ear and he reluctantly nodded his head, letting go of my hand.I made my way down the stairs to the ladies, pushing through the crowd and the sweaty people who were dancing.I get to the toilet and there’s a fucking long line.I can’t hold it as I look in front of me. I would have insisted on going first, but I don’t like abusing the authority and power I have and the alpha’s daughter.Taking out my phone, I decided to scroll through the pictures I had taken of me and Kaiden earlier as I smiled to myself. We look so fucking beautiful together.When I finally get to the front of the line, I walk in and find some ladies making out in the corner.Pushing the door open, I put my bag under my arm as I pull my thong down and I finally get to release some of the pressure on my bladder.“Ah,” I groan softly, failing to keep my eyes open the entire time. “Get out! All of you!” A deep, husky voice growled, making me snap my eyes open.Fuck.I quickly pull my thong into place as I unlock the door, about to walk out when my eyes meet the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever known.His muscles ripple through the black shirt he was wearing, tight black skinny jeans, and combat boots.I sighed heavily as I looked behind him. He had locked the door.“What do you want?” I asked, holding on tight to my bag.He lets out a deep, low growl coming closer to me. I take a step back as his gaze trails from my toes to my lips.“Nothing that isn’t mine already,” He growls, his eyes darkening as I exhaled heavily.“Do you know who I am?” I asked, my heart racing.I couldn’t show him I was scared of him. They did not bring me up like that.I know how to stand my ground when it comes to men.“No. But I know you have been looking for me the entire night,” He growls, approaching me, as I hit my hack against the sink.He put his hands on the sides, trapping me between him and the sink. He sniffed me like I was some prey.My eyes move down to his lips, then chest, my core clenching as I turn away from him.“I can smell your arousal,” he whispers, his warm breath on my neck as I bring my hands to his chest, pushing him away, but he doesn’t budge.“I will have your head on a platter if you don’t fucking move out of my way,” I tried to push him off me as he chuckled.“Really? I thought you were wet for me”He was right. I was acting all weird since our eyes met earlier. Maybe it’s the alcohol or the fact I have been wanting to try having sex with Kaiden.Am I that horny? Getting an arousal from a stranger? Fuck.“I need to get back to the party if you don’t mind,” I said to him as I heard a banging sound on the door.‘Rhia!” Rodri was banging on the door, panic in his voice as I looked at the man before.‘I guess that’s my cue,” I grinned as he moved aside.“Not so fast” he grabbed me by my arms, sending shivers down my spine.I gasped in disbelief as Rodri kept on knocking on the door.“You need to go,” I whispered to him, looking up at him, my lips so close to mine.“Worried about me?” He said in a dry tone.“No. But I know there will be bloodshed if my brother finds you here, and it’s my friend’s birthday,” I whispered back to him as he brought his hand to my cheek, his thumb running over my lips.“I will be back for you,” He whispered before jumping through the window.I sighed heavily as Rodri finally kicked the door open.“What the hell happened here? I hear there was a strange man?” He asked me as I shook my head, looking at Kaiden who was behind him rushing in.“Babe” Kai grabbed hold of my hand “I’m fine. I don’t know what happened,” I admitted, looking around the room. Rodri kicked open every door.“Anything?” Kai asked.“Nothing. Are you okay?” Rodri asked as I nodded my head.“I heard his voice, but I think he was just doing something.” I lied as Kai held on to me, staggering behind as I wrapped my arm around him.“We should head back home now,” I whispered to Kai, who shook his head.“I still want to have a bit of fun,” he insisted as Rodri shrugged his shoulders.We headed back to the lounge where Kai went on drinking his whiskey while chatting with Rodri.“What happened?” Mimi whispered after noticing the guys were officially wasted.I looked at her, knowing everything I would tell her Rodri would be getting wind of it first thing tomorrow morning.“Nothing. Can we now go home?’ I asked her, and she shook her head, grabbing a bottle of champagne.“I still want to party,” he beamed with a smile as I rolled my eyes. I don’t even know who the man was from earlier and here she was insisting we still go on to party.“To us and more to come” She raised her glass as I took my whiskey glass, making a toast with her before gulping down whatever Kaiden was drinking.I swear, drinking with these people is the worst idea that anyone could ever experience.“Rodri? We need to leave” I shook him as he kept on playing some stupid games with some of their friends who just joined us again.“Kai? We need to leave now!” I insisted as he smiled, shaking his head.“Just a few more rounds. Please, babe?” He clasped his hands together, but I knew Dad would have his head first thing tomorrow.“Fine! Just an hour more,” I finally gave in,“You are the best” He planted a kiss on my lips as he turned around to finish up playing with his friends and Rodri.I sighed heavily, grabbing a bottle of beer and drinking from it as they went on having their stupid drinking game.Here I was mixing all sorts of alcohol when I knew fully well I had training tomorrow morning**Rhiannon**How did I get here? My head was pounding and felt like the world was spinning. I tried to keep my eyes open but ended up sleeping.“Rhia?” Someone was shaking me to wake up.I try to get their hand off me, but the person is persistent.“Not now! Please,” I Insisted as I pulled the cover over my head.It practically goes quiet as I close my eyes briefly.Splash.The cold water splashed on my face as I gasped for air, my eyes snapping open.“What the fuck?” I growled.I find Mum holding a bucket, her arms folded as I growled, throwing back my head. Really?“I just wanted to sleep for a few more minutes,” I complained as she raised her eyebrows“Do you know what time it is?” She asked as I sighed heavily, struggling to keep my eyes open.“Rhiannon!” she yells.Her voice was piercing my ears, my head was throbbing just from hearing her voice.“I don’t know, mum. Can’t I just—““No! You can’t sleep. How much did you drink?” She asks me as I shake my head.Hell, I don’t even re
RhiannonYou have got to be kidding me. What the hell was this man doing here? I inwardly asked myself.‘Why do you look like you have seen a ghost?’ Michy linked to me.‘Nothing’ I repliedHe stood next to Dad, who came around introducing Rodri to him, then back coming to me.“And this is my daughter, Rhiannon,” dad smiled,The pride in his voice as he said that, I gulp down the lump that forms in my throat.‘Nice to meet you” I bow my head to him as he nods his head before walking away.Everyone seems to be in awe of him as he walks around through the ranks. I wish right now I could just turn and leave, but I know I’m already in trouble with Dad.He insists even though I’m a woman, due to begin the alpha’s daughter, I shouldn’t let anyone beat my ass.“You can carry on!” Dad shouts as everyone finally heads back to their positions.“Someone looks upset,” Kai whispered, wrapping his arm around my neck.“Should I be happy that fuckin Tom beat my ass?”I snapped, picking my jumper from
Rhiannon“What was that about?” Rodri asked as I walked past him,“Nothing. It was nothing,” I lied.He glances at me and then back at the person am trying so hard to run away from. He inhales sharply as I wait for him to let me go.“Rhia...” he whispers.“It’s nothing Rods,” I maintainHe gives me an affirmative nod as I walk away. I can’t believe he saw me with the man that I don’t even know.What if it was Kai? I ask myself inwardly as I make my way back to the house. I find Michy waiting for me with a bottle of juice in her hand.“What’s up?” She asks as I shake my head.I don’t want to start talking about what just happened, but then again, she’s my best friend.Hey,” I say when we get to the bedroom.“The man who followed me into the bathroom last night,” I started as she gulped down some juice.“Yes.”“Well, it’s that man”“Which man?” She asks her attention to the bottle of juice she’s drinking. She doesn’t seem to be paying attention.She gasps when the realization hits her.
Tristan “IS it done?” The voice came from the other side of the phone.“Well, I’m here. Might have a bit of a problem though” I admitted and the line went quiet.“Can you handle the problem?”“Yes. It might take some time but yes, I can handle it” I replied cutting the call as I sighed heavily looking at the picture of Rhiannon.I thought it would be an easy thing coming here but fuck I was dealing with a twenty-year-old girl.A knock comes on the door as I grab the picture putting it in the drawer with the knives as I make my way to the door.I open the door to my guest room and I find the alpha’s son there.“My father would like to speak to you,” He says, his gaze moving from head to toe sizing me up.“IS that all?” I askHe nods.I push the door to close it but he blocks it with his foot. I inhale sharply opening the door.“One more thing, when you see my sister look the other way. I don’t want to be the reason why you only have one eye” He cautionsBefore I could respond, he tu
**Rhiannon**A personal trainer? I stormed into my room, slamming the door behind me and screaming in frustration as I fell on the bed, covering my head with a pillow.“Seems like dinner didn’t go as planned” Kai’s voice came as I sat up on the bed looking towards the window his voice was coming from.I sniffled back as he approached the bed, and I shook my head.“Hey. What’s wrong?” He whispered as I swallowed hard.“Nothing,” I whispered as I took hold of his shirt, pulling him closer to me as I planted a kiss on his lips, deepening the kiss as I wrapped my arms around his neck.‘Rhia… The door....’ He linked to me, but I didn’t care anymore about what happened. I didn’t care if Dad found us right now or mum.“Rhiannon” He pulled away from me as I raised a brow.He seemed tense“What’s wrong?” I asked.“I just came because I wanted us to chat. I just…” he lowered his eyes, avoiding looking into my eyes.“What’s wrong?”“I don’t think right now we should be alone. I keep having thoug
RhiannonGetting to the training ground, I found they paired everyone up with someone to train with. I glanced at Kai, who was sparing with Anita, one recruit.My eyes mate with Enzo was standing with his arms folded while he barked instructions.“Rhiannon. You are next,” He shouted after Michele had finished sparring with another omega.“What?” Rodri gasped.“They are friends. You can’t surely let her spar with Michele,” He whispered as everyone looked at me then Michele.Enzo smirks as I let out an exasperated sigh.“Listen up everyone!” He shouted, ignoring what Rodri was trying to say to him.“As soon as you walk into this training ground. I don’t care if you were fuckin each other last night or you came from the same womb. Prepare to train with whomever I pair you with. You lose, you are doing all the cleaning up!” He ordered as I sighed heavily.“Surely you can take him on, right?” He turned to me as I swallowed hard, my eyes meeting with Michele’s“Sure thing,” I said, pulling
**Rodri**Enzo? What the fuck is he thinking coming here and treating everyone like they were nothing?“Do you want me to go after her?”Michele came closer as we watched the other recruits spar.‘No. Let’s see if Kai will be able to talk to her” I shook my head as I followed my hands, watching him bark instructions standing like he was the alpha of this pack.He turned his head towards the door when he realized Kai wasn’t there and started to walk towards the gym“I will be back”: He said to no one in particular, but I knew this wouldn’t be the end of it.I tried to focus on their conversation, but all I could hear was nothing but grunts and groans surrounding me.After a few minutes, all I see is Kai coming out with his head down.‘What the hell happened there?’ I link to him.‘She says she can handle him’ he replies, walking towards me as I sigh heavily, clenching my jaws.Why would father hire someone who will just treat her like she’s nothing in front of everyone?I never worry a
**Rhiannon**“I just don’t understand why his treating you like shit,” Michy complained, rolling on the bed to look at me where I was sitting, moving around my schedule.“I don’t know as well. I understand him wanting to do his job, but dude, the guy hates me,” I added.She pauses, biting her fingernails as her lips turn up in a mischievous smile and I know what that means.“Maybe he likes you,” she smirks.I scoff, closing my laptop.“Like me? Do you think right now I should be thinking about that? I feel like his someone holding a grudge towards me or something,” I complained to her, but she seemed to have zoned out.“Michy” I snap my fingers in front of her and she shakes her head.“Know what? Would love to continue chatting but someone would like to chat with me,” she smiled, getting up from the bed.She quickly puts on her shoes before rushing out of the room.Great! There goes the one person who said she would go with me for training.I fuckin hate it. I hate when Rodri takes he
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
