***Tamara***Jackpot, I felt like I had secured one the moment Mimi stated that we could catch the villain with Monica's scent. These bloodied papers had been tormenting me for weeks. They lodged themselves deep in my brain and ate up my brain cells, forcing my systems to go overdrive.I couldn't contain my feet as they padded on the area rug in our sitting room, from one edge to another. The bond link was left open and even so, my pulse kept on spiking up with every minute that went by, without any update from Ryker. I had alreadygroomed myself up for good news and nothing could have stopped me from smiling as I pictured it all.'You're starting to piss me off with this pacing of yours. ' Janette was seated comfortably on our couch with no care in the world. A bowl of homemade double butter popcorn sat on her lap. She held a sizeable cup of white tea, chasing the popcorn bite with it. I tried understanding why or how she could eat such a combination without throwing up.'Aren't you
***Ryker***The enervating and enfeebling pain consumed me, throaty groans emanating from my voice box. Helpless, an alpha leading a group of warriors straight into a trap. Even through the excruciating affliction, I tried to sort out relentlessly for our mate.Everything was just okay until we walked right in to a perfect ambush. No one could have imagined that it was all a lure, one that had triumphed over our thinking game. The papers had been neatly arranged, dripping with flesh blood. With his muzzle raised in the air, Tyron led us deeper and deeper into the forest. He was the only one in wolf form, for now.The further we went the more Monica's blood scent became more hefty and overpowering on our sense of smell. We could also detect the aroma of the malodorous earth. I could hear rustling sounds of small animals scampering under widespread orchids and ferns. They must have felt the presence of predators, unlike several whiffs of a nearby group of deer that we could catch.We wo
***Tamara***Seething, I simmered with fury as it ran red through by brain. My face felt sticky with dried tears that had long ceased from coursing. My face remained neutral, only the twitching of my eyebrows and the corners of my mouth portrayed the anger that kept on swirling inside.His hand felt cold against my elbow, gripping it tightly with his filthy nails sinking into my skin. I could feel warm trails of my blood as it dripped and made small streams on my arm. As he dragged us through the forest, something kept on pushing and gnawing my mind. Pin pointing it in the midst of fury and pain however proved quite to be a strenuous task.I struggled to press down my rage for Janette. After Addanc had shared the news of her carrying a life inside her womb, I decided to control myself for her safety. I kept on distracting the wizard any time he tried hurting her more as we went through the forest.My vision kept on swimming between black and red. A force similar to the one that had be
***Ryker***'What's even more weird is that there hasn't been any scent of Theo on the entire pack lands. ' Tyron had exhaustively carried out a protracted scour all around and it ended up being futile.'Curt, did you find anything?' They had been combing out the borders, trying to see whether anything bizarre was going on.'No alpha, nothing stood out. ' My thoughts went back to what my mate had been telling me for the last couple of days. Deep down I knew she was making a lot of sense, but again, were kidnaps supposed to be coherent?'Jayson, how is the search for Addanc progressing? ' Only a disdainful taste filled my savory glands as the name made way past my tongue.' We traced a trail of blood we have a plausible reason to believe belongs to him at the northern boulder. ' That was by far the most promising news I had heard since he vanished 5 days ago.'He crossed the border because the drops of blood were present on the other side. ' If he was outside the pack lands, we needed
***Tamara***I sat by the training grounds on a wooden teak bench, observing the teenagers as they underwent rigorous training. Their exposed upper bodies shimmered with globules of sweat, some forming little streams on the skin.The training grounds rested under the thick white sheets of clouds that looked like stretched cotton. They formed gaps, closing and opening as they moved over and under one another. The sky spotted parts of greys and blues, with streaks of silvers and golds.As the sun rose and opened it's light and made a promise of warmth, the instructors backed orders and instructions. They pushed the teen pups to their limits over and over again. As I watched their feet, hands and bodies move as one, my mind kept on replaying the former Luna's words.Something wasn't adding up at all. Her utterances came like a bolt from the blue. Ryker's reaction was stuck in the deepest part of my brain. As soon as the words had left her mouth in a whisper, the confusion in his face cle
***Ryker***Tamara humorously chuckled. ' Of course that was the only convenient excuse you could come up with.''It's not an excuse. ''You're right. ' She nodded, taking a few strides to where I stood.'It's not an excuse, it's a freaking lie. ' She whispered the last part in a shaky voice. Pain was potent in her words and it was all my culpability.'I'm telling the truth. ''The same truth you told when you said you were going to delve in searching for Addanc? ' Her hands were now stubbornly placed on her hips, legs apart and eyes affixed to me in a glare.'Tamara please, can you at least let me talk. ' Only equanimity could stop the situation from exacerbating. She had the absolute right to flip a wig, but disbelieving me? Now that hurt my beast and I.'No, I am not going to stand here and listen to one more cock and bull story. ' She stomped away leaving me standing there in stupor before finally resulting on following her. She made urgent steps, flailing her arms angrily and mum
***Tamara***Mrs. Kagwe must have been operating under a goad, driving her into poisoning Theo. As I took in the pack members trickling into the pack grounds, my wolf insisted that Theo was partly telling the truth. The adult werewolves chattered amongst themselves, some in groups and others in pairs.I should have felt sheer unbridled abhorrence towards them for everything they had put me through. 5 years of name calling and unwarranted scornful insults, I stood on the raised podium, as their Luna. Following the threat from the alpha leader, they had no choice but to submit to the very witch they apparently loathed.My mate stood beside me, with his eye sight solely pinned on Monica's friend as she approached the grounds hastily. A low growl left his mouth, commanding silence from the unknowing group of the adults. Janette nudged me with her elbow, making me place my hand on his bicep to calm him down.Theo had been discharged and he stood behind us, with his father. The silence stre
***Ryker***I stood silently at the pack's natural burial grounds trying to face up to the old werewolf departure. The place was covered by white and yellow flower meadows, surrounded by trees. The serene scenery and the tranquil weather assuaged my inner poignant grief.My mother embraced my mate as she let out plaintive sobs. Her shoulders shook with every cry that raked through her. She had done everything she could to help her stay alive, but finally the murderer finished his job. My arms itched to pull her to me but my beast and I understood that she needed girls' time.The burial was long over, people had retreated back to their places and yet I remained behind, giving my mate the space to grieve. Yes she was safe in my mother's arms but I wasn't about to risk anything. Mimi had been murdered with a lethal dose of a silver dart, in my pack, a pack full of trained warriors.Even as I swallowed the almost tangible sorrow that had been neutralised by the weather, something else unn
Third Person's POV+Three years later.'Fuck yeah! ' Alpha Ryker grunted, pumping his glistening cock in an out of his mate's hot wet heat. He held her against the wall of his old bedroom, her legs wrapped tightly around his hips. 'Aah just like that! ' Tamara moaned, tightening her grip around his shoulders.'So sweet! ' He pushed deeper, making the little witch to throw her head back on the wall. Tingles of pleasure ran in their systems as their arousal mixed together. Their bond strengthened, thickening as skin slapped against skin. 'Faster Ry! ' The Luna screamed, leaning closer to taste her mate's lips.Their lips grinded together, tongues dancing in a heated ferocity. The male carried his mate towards the bed with his cock still inside of her. 'I want you to look at me as I bring you to your peak. ' He leaned down, careful not to crush her with his weight.'Aaaaah fuck!! ' Tamara arched her back, taking in the monster of a cock. Her pussy swallowed the length as Ryker entered he
RykerMy wolf was out to play, pushing to the surface with every single strength he had. He knew one mistake would cost us every thing we have ever held dear. Tamara's emotions hit our link but two surpassed the rest. Anger and hatred, her face was calm but the twitching of her fingers was anything but restful.'Why are you doing this Pete? ' My father was in nothing but a state of confusion amidst the happenings. He kept on throwing fearful glances at the wizard and his brother.Pete chuckled before his face took on a serious form. ' Brother, you have always been good to every one, but not to me. ''What are you talking about? ''My rightful place in this pack, the alpha position. ' He menacingly stated earning a laugh from my mate.'Really now? ' You fled the pack like a coward, did you really expect it to run itself? ' Tamara mocked, crossing her arms on her upper belly.'Shut up! you weren't there you stupid witch. ''Call her stupid again, see what happens. ' I threatened but he
TamaraWe had been searching for Jayson for hours, it was as if he had disappeared without a trace. No one including his mate had seen him for close to 12 hours now. Every attempt to telepathically reach out to him proved futile. Even Janette couldn't feel his emotions and neither could she get through to him.Poor Janette, she was distraught and hysterical to a point where I had no choice but to put a sleeping spell on her. Any stress would affect the foetus and put it in danger, and I wasn't about to let it happen. 'Any luck Tyron? ' We were back at my mate's office after almost covering every corner looking for him. There were heavy showers that started in the midst of our search forcing us to retreat until they were over.The afternoon sun had long been masked by dark thick clouds, making the sky appear low and gray. The clouds had been forming since dawn and now they were finally leaden with water. The sound of the water drops on the roof top swallowed sounds from the outside.'A
Ryker'What do you know about Janette's kidnap? ' Jayson drilled, watching my every move in my own office. My stubborn friend had been going at it for minutes, repeating the exact question.'I already told you Jayson, nothing you should concern yourself with. ' I dismissed him again, pointing at the door for him to make an exit and leave me alone.'Fucking stop this shit now Ryker! You might be the alpha and her sister, but I am her mate and I deserve to know. I am not leaving this goddamned office until you give me what I want. ' He scratched his head repeatedly, pacing around my office space. He has never lost his cool, he always knew how to control himself and yet emotions were clouding his thinking capacity.'What makes you think I know something? ' I put my pen down on the wooden desk with a click. Raising my eyebrow at my friend, I leaned on my office chair.'That night you left Tamara on her own once you found out about the disappearance of your sister. There is no way you came
Ryker 'Is she re..really my si...ster? ' My thoughts were a in a muddle, my emotions in a quandary as well. multitudinous questions popped up, all demanding answers hastily. I wanted to open my mouth but my tongue felt leaden and tied with words. 'Yes Ryker...This feeling that I've always had...wanting to be close to her all the time. ' My dad whispered, wiping a lone tear with his left hand. My dad wasn't one to show his emotions openly, but this, this was entirely different. My long lost sister was very much alive, and in the pack as well, mated to my best friend. Oh how I couldn't wait to hug her when she would awaken. She was being tended to by Bashir, her mate, mine and my mother by her side. This was totally unanticipated and I understood my parents reaction. Finding out that the child you once lost, was not only alive but close to them must have been so surreal. Janette, the girl that my mate had blindly chosen to defend that day in the woods. The same action that made me ch
***Ryker***+I sat silently at my parents living room, my ongoing thoughts drowning the chatter in the room. Hours of interrogating Monica bore nothing related to her escape. To begin with, her right thumb was bandaged and when I unwrapped it, a quarter of the finger was missing.She was the same person Theo remembered seeing when he was immured. But that had been weeks ago, she would have been healed by now. Near rhetorical questions kept on pressing my conscious for answers. Why? Is it because I finally got mated? Is it the reason she sought out my cousin? To hurt him as revenge against my death sentence to her?'Ryker I already told you that her mental state suffers greatly. Her wolf is so weak otherwise by now that wound on her thumb would be healed. I need to heal her first then we can question her when she is back to normal. ' Tamara, whispered beside me, rubbing circles on my back with her tiny palm.'Absolutely not! ' Every one turned to look at me, the outburst obviously draw
***Tamara***'You need to eat more darling, look at your lips. ' Maggie poured too much soup on a large bowl. She insisted that I needed to add more meat on my bony self.'But it's barely 30 minutes since you forced 2 pieces of arrow roots down my throat. ' I was so full, but the mouth watering aroma of the sizzling soup as it wafted through my nostrils posed a temptation. It was filled with white beans, roasted chicken, hearty and root vegetables.'Just ten spoons. ' She placed the spoon inside the bowl and urged me to take a sip. 'Mmmmh.' My taste buds exploded as the savoury herbs settled on my tongue. It was scrumptious, the taste of it making me forget my manners. I placed the spoon aside and picked up the bowl, downing the soothing fluid in big gulps.'This is sooo sweet. ' I wiped the side of my mouth with the back of my hand.'I will prepare it for you till you give you give birth. ' That had my heart palpitations increasing again. It had been days since I let out Mrs.Kagwe an
***Ryker***Excruciating, the pain from the extremely tight grip on my neck was just acute. I just felt a force squeezing life out of me, and even though it happened for a few seconds I was still feeling it. How the hell had Tamara done that so fast? I was sure as hell that wasn't her wolf talking, she would never physically use her powers on me.This, this was an entirely different force. Formidable than the power my mate possessed. What the hell was that? My beast was still shaken up, and he had retreated on the back of my conscious. A power that left my mate unconscious, but breathing peacefully. It had been roughly 10 minutes since collapsed, that was immediately after I was set free.I had mind linked my mother instead of rushing her to the infirmary. I knew that, that particular incident was the one that had drained energy from her. She would recover but I figured with my mother around, she would be in safer hands.'How is she? ' My mother pushed in the door then walked straight
Tamara'It's been three days Jayson, two whole extremely long nights of abandonment. ' I blinked away tears of fury and frustration.'Tamara don't you think you are overstating a bit? I mean aren't you coming from his office right now? ''Don't you dare insinuate that I am making a fit of petty annoyance Jayson. ' I pointed at him with my left index finger in a huff.'He hasn't said a word to me for three days now. I..I can't pretend it doesn't tear me apart anymore. ' Guilt had been a part of me since he dragged Theo to the dungeons for torture.'I will tell you this as my friend and not as my Luna. ' He walked closer to me, his voice taking a clear earnest tone.'You picked up holes in his strength as the alpha, as if that wasn't enough, you disparaged his ability as your mate to keep you safe. ' His words provided the last hit that finally broke my illusions. The false belief that I had been holding on to about all of this being Ryker's fault dissipated.'I see the pain in your eye
