RYDEN

“Amelia!” The line cut off. I looked down at Ren’s phone screen for a second trying to process what had just happened, who attacked her, and why.

“Ryden, what did she say?”

I stared at Ren, looking for the right word to say. I couldn’t find any. I gave his phone back. “Amelia is in trouble.”

“I’ll go and find her. Where is she?”

“She’s on her way back.”

He left before I could stop him. Theia followed suit, and I felt so stupid and useless.

“Zeph?” I scanned the living room where the guys watched football.

“Hey, are you looking for me?” Zeph came quickly.

“Yeah.” I went to the back of the staircase and pushed the lockdown button. Since I lost men in that black virus, I spent a huge amount of money on security, including CCTV around the parameters. I would find out who attacked Amelia. It was only a matter of time, and he would pay for it, severely.

“What’s going on?” Zeph asked when everyone stopped what they were doing.

When the entire house went silent, I went into a

    AMELIA “What the hell is wrong with you? He offered you to join back his pack, why aren’t you jumping into it?” Theia was more excited than me to be back in the pack, but she didn’t know why I didn’t want to. I blew out a breath and sipped my water. “I have reasons.” “Wow. That must be more important than being with Ryden. I’m actually beginning to like that guy. He’s hot and cool. He may want to spread you and eat you for his dinner, but he’s patient for an alpha.” She smiled wickedly. “Geez, T.” I rolled my eyes as I continued jabbing against the pad. It may sound ridiculous, but I felt my heart just pumped hard. “I have eyes and ears and I put them to good use. You should do it sometimes. He’s definitely hard on you, Am. The mating bond must have been driving him insane. You’re a lucky gal that he hasn’t grabbed you, thrown you over his shoulder like a potato sack, and taken you home with him, and Goddess knows what he could do to you when it’s just the two of you.” “You’re i

    RYDEN Amelia and I pulled apart. I didn’t even notice the portal appeared before us. We were caught up in our moment. For the first time, I got to kiss my mate, and here I was wishing, Zarah gave me at least a minute more before she walked in into my office with Sebastien. “Are we interrupting something?” Sebastien asked with a smile on his face. Amelia was clearly embarrassed. Her cheeks were red. She shifted uncomfortably and cleared her throat before she replied, “Um, nope. We’re just—” “Kissing? Making out?” Zarah cut in and checked her out. “Yet I still don’t see a mark on you, Amelia. Why is that?” “We’re busy with training, and I can’t just offer my neck so he can bite me. There’s more important things to do—” “Than marking you? Completing the mating process? That is also important, and I can sense that you’re not even a part of his pack.” Zarah shifted her gaze at me. “What have you been doing for a week, Ryden? I gave you that much time so you could sort things out.”

    AMELIA “For fuck’s sake, coordinate your attack!” Ren commanded angrily. We stopped and stared at Ren. I barely heard him curse unless he was mad and frustrated over something. Right now, he felt both for me and Ryden. “You can’t win. You can’t defeat me if you don’t work together.” “We’re working together, Ren. There’s just no way to defeat you because you’ve been doing this your entire life.” I pointed at Ryden. “And this guy, he never held a real sword before.” “Do you think that’s the case?” He pointed his stick at me. His eyes slanted even further. “I could train for a week and still defeat you both. I’m alone here with one brain and two sticks in my hands.” He may have brought attention to the pack members. We trained in the backyard on the field this time so we didn’t have to walk far from the pack house if Ryden was needed. Ryden huffed out his frustration, too. “So this is my fault. I know it, but I’m trying hard. Maybe I’m just not good at this thing. I’ll just stick

    RYDEN Theia was clearly worried and bothered as she joined us.“What’s the problem?” Amelia pulled her brows together and asked her friend. “Dead body,” she whispered. “And it’s weird.” “She’s right.” I checked my phone and found a message from Officer Hayes. “Your dad texted me the location ten minutes ago. Ren, Theia, stay here. Amelia and I will go check the site.” “Aren’t we supposed to be together?” Theia glanced up at me, seeking the go-ahead. “You and Ren can protect the pack house. We have to go.” “Go. We’ll be fine here,” Ren affirmed while Theia was still frowning. Amelia and I went to my car, and she said, “Oh, thank Goddess. We’re not riding on your bike.” “What’s wrong with my bike?” I chuckled. “Dangerous, especially in this weather.” I looked up at the sky. It was cloudy. “Right. Let’s go.” She was already in the passenger’s seat. “Coming or not?” I couldn’t help but smile as I got in. It took seven minutes for us to arrive at the site. We parked the car a fe

    AMELIA Colin Dane left right after. Ryden made me stay and promised me a home-cooked meal. “We didn’t get to eat the pizza.” I helped him cut some veggies for a salad while he braised steak on the skillet. I felt normal suddenly, forgetting about my power and the threat for a while. Somehow, I also felt close to him, and there was this feeling that I could trust him with my life and my heart. I began to feel comfortable around him, too, like how it used to be when he came over to the house with my brother and played cards. I was done with the salad. The steak and the potatoes weren’t nearly done, but they were seasoned. He was about to put them in the oven when I stopped him. “How would you like your steak, Mr. Braxton?” He smiled. “Medium rare, and you know that. Why?” I showed him my palm and closed it. Then I opened it with already a ball of fire. “Holy shit!” He took a step back with wide eyes. “Are you going to cook our food with that?” “It’s a fire, Ryden, and it would

    RYDEN She only grabbed her phone and we were already leaving. We barely got out of the house, I saw a small twister above us. “Shit! That’s Ren, sending us a signal. Hurry up, Ryden.” I drove the car like a lunatic. The shortcut road towards the pack house was slippery. At this moment, I trusted her judgment as I received an SOS from Zeph, and the alarm just went off, notifying my phone. “What the fuck is going on there?” “Just drive and make sure to get us there alive and in one piece. We should have been there. We shouldn’t have—” She let out a roar of frustration. Her chest was heaving. “Damn it!”“Hey.” I gripped her hand. It was cold. She looked so worried, and so did I. “It’s gonna be okay.” “Yeah.” She breathed deeply. “I hope so, but I have a bad feeling about it.” The pack house came to view a few yards away in less than five minutes. “I’ll park and we’ll walk from here.” Discreetly, we walked towards the backyard. I sniffed the air. I smelled blood right away, maki

    RYDEN Zeph came. “Someone knocked on the door, Walker opened it and then he was pushed inside, and all of a sudden, the entire house was gassed, and I think it was customized silver gas. It burned our skin, but thankfully, Ren here managed to blow it away.” “Help me check them so they can get medical care.” I swallowed hard as I saw Dylan lying lifeless on the floor, swimming in his own blood. I still checked his pulse even if I knew he was already dead. “Can someone find my phone?” “Here.” Amelia came back, wearing my long sleeves. “Thank you for saving us.” I pulled her in my arms and hugged her tight. “We all save each other. How many we’ve lost?” I heard the shakiness in her voice. “Still counting. You, Ren, and Theia really helped save lives, Amelia. I owe you all.” “You don’t owe us anything,” Theia said, patting my back. I dialed Zarah, and she picked up right away. “I need your help. If Shadow is available. We were under attack.” “Oh, Goddess. We’ll be there right awa

    AMELIA “What?” I asked in shock. “I did not kill anyone!” I tried to defend myself, but Ryden and Califf were about to commit a crime. “I suggest you to stay put, Alpha Ryden, Alpha Califf. And by the look of it, it seemed that you had a very interesting and productive day. I can add this to her crime,” said the lanky guy as he tried to intimidate them and who just handcuffed me. With nose flaring, Ryden growled and grabbed the issue warrant from the lanky guy and read it. It was legit. He knew it. “I know what you’re capable of, Ms. Hayes. I suggest you come with us willingly to prevent more disasters.” “Guys, stop. I’m going with them.” The look on Ryden alone broke my already shattered heart. “Amelia, you can’t do this. You did not kill anyone.” “Then she’ll prove it in front of the council.” The other guy in a suit, gripped my arm tightly as he dragged me towards the SUV. Other armed men were on full alert, ready to shoot if Califf and Ryden would do something stupid. “I

    AMELIAThree years laterEnochian Institute “Okay, bud. Are you ready?” Ryden towered at his son as he tried to prepare him for his first day of school. “No, Dad. Please, don’t call me buddy or bud anymore. I’m six years old. Alex is fine.” I looked at them and tried hard not to grin. When Ryden saw my smile, I looked away. “You will always be my boy, so I can call you bud or buddy until you get a girlfriend or have kids on your own.” “Mom, I need help here. I want to be like every kid at the institute.” When he gave me this puppy-eyes look, the same look he gave me when he wanted to be with his Uncle Ren or Uncle Drak. I knelt before him as I fixed his coat. Alex was carrying a blue backpack. I looked right into his blue-green eyes. Every time I looked at him, he always reminded me of his father. “My love, listen to me. You grow up so fast. Me and your dad still see you like our two-year-old boy. That’s why Dad still calls you buddy, and it’s actually cool that you and Dad ar

    AMELIA I still cried whenever I felt alone. I still cried to sleep knowing he was gone because he wanted me to live. The feeling of losing someone I loved hit differently. It felt like I lost a part of me, a part of my soul. I woke up to the blinding light streaming from the opened window. Or at least I felt like I just woke up when the image of my father appeared before me. “Dad?” I sat up on the bed. I was still sleeping in the same bed I shared with Lucius. “Why did you let it happen? Why did you accept his deal? Now I’m all alone.” “You’re not alone, Amelia.” I wiped the first tear that fell on my cheek. “I died twice. You should have let me die. I can’t. I can’t take it anymore. Lucius was a good man. He had a lot of things to live for.” “And you don’t?” he asked me calmly. “I know life isn’t fair, but I don’t deserve another chance. I would have swapped places with him. These people need their alpha.” “Amelia.” He stood before me. “He accomplished his mission in life. H

    RYDEN The moment I received a call from Drak, I knew something terrible had happened. He couldn’t hide the sadness in his voice. I quickly asked help from Zarah to send me to the Blood Moon Pack. Every last member of Lucius’ pack was around. His compound was crowded with the people who loved him, who believed in his cause, and the people he saved and had given a second chance. As I entered the house, a howl of mourning echoed from the forest. It was heart-wrenching. I didn’t only feel extremely sad about losing a great alpha, but he was also a savior and a hero, and I was proud to call him a friend. “This is so unfair.” Amelia ran into me. She looked like she’d been crying. She really looked like a mess, with wet cheeks, and red eyes and nose. “This can’t be happening.” “I’m so sorry, my love.” I took her in my arms. I knew my presence wouldn’t help the fact that Lucius was gone, but I was hoping I could somehow help ease the pain in her chest. “He’s gone, Ryden. He’s gone.” She

    AMELIAIf this was the last day we had together, then I would make the best of it. I couldn’t fathom a life without him, my hero, who sacrificed everything so I could live another day. He was the true savior, not me. He was the true leader, the greatest alpha I’d ever met. He deserved that recognition, yet, here he was, waiting until he let go of his last breath and succumbed to death.It was unfair. Life was so fucked up and unfair. “Maybe you should give me an heir. I wanna have a mini you, please?” I wiped my tears away. “For that, I might be able to forgive myself. Then I’m going to tell him the story of how amazing and brave his father was, his sacrifices for this world, and how much we love each other, and show him our photos together.” “I will give you everything, my love. If we have a son, I want you to teach him to be a good man and respect and treat Ryden as his father. If we have a girl, tell her, that her father will always be watching her. Tell them their father loves t

    AMELIA Lucius pulled away, looking right into my eyes. “We’re not doing it again, Amelia. I’ve accepted my fate.” “Well, I’m not! You should have told me. I could have done something other than keeping me in the dark. I have every right to know, Lucius. Have you forgotten that?” “I know that, my love, and I’m so sorry.” “Save it,” I said as I faced Ryden and pointed a finger at his face. “You, I trusted you. Are you happy now? Lucius had sacrificed his life twice for me so I could be with you. And I only asked one thing. Just one thing from you, and you couldn’t do it. You can’t be honest with me. Why should I stay with you if you don’t value honesty?” Ryden looked away as pain and agony laced in his eyes. “Amelia, don’t say that,” Lucius said. “Oh, so now you’re his best friend because you’re peas in a pod?” “Amelia, I know this is hard, but Lucius made his decision. You would have been dead by now and the rest of the werewolves who had fallen that day.” Shit. Zarah was right

    AMELIA It had been three months since that war against The Director ended, and our lives had finally returned back to normal. The pack was going strong. No more sightings of demons and wraiths. No more threats other than rogues on occasion. The mother and son Ryden took in, and some werewolves had become the new pack members. Theia and Bryan were still like cat and mouse, but I could feel how much their relationship had developed, especially when it was built with trust. The two elemental werewolves had begun their training at Elysian. We still talked over the phone, especially with Ryden, since he was one of them. Margaret finally woke up a few days after I went back home. Zarah, Samarah, and her had never been closer, and that made me happy. My Relationship with Ryden had never been strong. I told him everything, and he forgave me. He and Lucius seemed to have formed a friendship, which was weird. Since the day I left the hotel room, I stayed close to Lucius, not as a mate or

    AMELIA I joined him in bed and kissed him on the lips, and he scooped me so I could rest on top of him. I curled into a fetal position as he wrapped his arms around me, his fingers tracing my spine. I felt tiny and fragile when I was with him, but powerful at the same time. He sighed again as if something was bothering him. “How did you find me?” “Your mate gave me your letter. I supposed you went back from where you started. Did you mean what you said?” He was talking about the letter. “All of it.” “Hmm.” He kissed the top of my head. “He came to me. He’s worried about you, sweetheart. You should go back.” “What about you?” I lifted my head and looked him in the eye. “I always trust what you do that you know what’s best for you. Like always, I won’t control you.” He smiled as he tucked my hair behind my ear. “But of course, I get worried all the time even though I know you can take care of yourself.” “How’s everyone?” “I’m not telling you anything, Amelia. It’s about time y

    AMELIA “I want you right now, Alexander.” The moment those words left my mouth, he carried me to the bed in my hotel room. He ripped my clothes from my body until I was naked and exposed. Then he spread my legs wide, and one thing led to another. My ovary was throwing a party as he dipped his head between my legs. A gasp escaped my lips as he pressed the softest kisses on my foot, my leg, and my inner thighs, nipping my skin. Then captured my entire pussy with his hot mouth. “Ah!” My hips bucked, hand came to his head to grab a handful of his hair, shamelessly pushing his mouth to my sex. Then he dragged his tongue from my folds upward to my clit, making my head spin. Tingles ran down my spine as I shuddered in delight. “Goddess!” I panted, rocking into his talented tongue, stroking my clit. Every muscle in my body clenched, and my legs trembled. Then he glided it in my entrance, thrusting in and out, alternately sucking my sensitive hard nub. Tension instantly coiled in my lowe

    AMELIA “So where are you going?” Gaia asked. She’d been spending some time with Ren and Theia while Nora was trying to fix the broken relationship she had with her father. With Victor in the council jail, there was no threat to Alec anymore. “I don’t know yet.” I looked at the three of them. “Please, take care of each other. The greater demon might be gone, but there are still a lot of bad people out there. Maybe the good citizens could use your help.” “I’m gonna miss you.” Theia hugged me. “Don’t be gone too long, okay?” “I won’t, but you should go and be with the Caltech dropout.” “I will. Ren doesn’t need a driver anymore. He’s the monkey king after all.” She got a groan from Ren. “Gaia and he will start a new adventure anyway.” “I have to go.” I hugged Ren tight. “Thanks for not giving up on me. You always have a place in the pack. I love you, Ren. I’ll see you soon.” “I love you, too, Amelia. Don’t be a stranger. Visit the Raito house once in a while.” “Once I figure out
