CHAPTER 5 DESIRE REAWAKENED

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-23 11:47:08

Ryder was enraged by Nora's statements by the time he arrived at the Zodak pack hall for the celebration prepared by Alpha Alex to celebrate his arrival. Many attractive damsels made signals and threw themselves at him. It made him giggle as he recalled the limitless number of ladies who thought they could tame and mate him, only to get fascinated with his physique and be discarded when he grew bored of them. As the party continued, other attractive women piqued his interest, and he resolved that if he couldn't have Nora at his side tonight, he'd vent his frustration on them in bed. Ryder didn't like Alpha Alex, but he was impressed by the splendor of the party.

Alex was powerful and ruthless, but not at his level. However, Ryder was aware that he needed to be restrained lest he develop wings and become arrogant. After all, Zodak had formed tight bonds with the pack he had recently subdued. Ryder's disgust for the pompous Alex was exacerbated by the fact that he was only concerned with his position, not his pack, mates, or even Nora. If he did, he would trust her and find out who was responsible for his mother's death rather than believing lies. Every powerful man understood that to fully achieve, he needed to be careful who he surrounded himself with. Alex didn't care. Rumor had it that it was his mate who looked over the welfare of the pack. The same Nora he deceived me to abandon, making me believe she was cursed. Ryder felt horrible and despised him because he now knew better. Though he wanted Nora back, he despised the term mate; he could never have one or leave his pack in the care of a female. He just regarded them as free fucks. Tired of the chaos, he was ready to call it a night when the anchor announced. "And on a final note, let's have some closing remarks from Zodak's adorable Luna, Eve Smith," cheers and clapping rang around the hall. Eve ascended the stage, and Nora followed behind her. Ryder was curious to meet Nora again. He watched as she approached the platform alongside Eve, dressed in a pale green sheath gown that accentuated her proportions and eyes. He sighed. Fuck! She looked stunning, and any thoughts of having another lady that night evaporated. His inner beast wreaked havoc. Ryder wanted her, regardless of whether she was someone else's mate. He followed her every step, his gaze savoring her body. He barely heard anything Eve had said. She had been nothing more than a ghost to Ryder for so long, a hazy remembrance of a love lost. But now, standing in front of him, she was like a vision—an alluring reminder of everything he had lost. His breath caught in his throat.

Her beauty was evident, and seeing her triggered something deep within him—something primitive. His gaze swept over her, tracing the exquisite curve of her neck and how her gown adhered to her body. He clenched his fists, a wave of frustration rushing through him. How could she be standing so near to him and so far away? Eve's voice drew him back into the present. "Thank you all for the warm welcome," she continued, her voice full of tenderness, but Ryder hardly heard her. He couldn't take his gaze off Nora. The spotlight shone on her, and she froze for a second as if the weight of her new fate had struck her. Her eyes flashed over the room, and When her gaze fell on Ryder, something inside her changed. For a brief moment, their gazes connected, and the world appeared to blur. "Ryder," she said under her breath. Her lips quivered slightly as she caught herself, but he could hear her voice, which was gentle and full of what may have been anguish. He wanted to shout out to her, to go up and grab her in his arms, to whisk her away from this place, but the words stopped in his mouth. Instead, he stood there, watching her, overwhelmed by the desire to claim her once more. The crowd's applause got louder, and Nora shifted, staring down at the ground and attempting to control her breathing. Ryder noticed the agony on her face. The expression, the reluctance, just stoked the fury within him. Eve, oblivious to the growing tension between the two of them, resumed her lecture, but Ryder was no longer listening. He’d seen enough. As the applause subsided, he couldn't take it anymore.

    Ryder's focus remained solely on Nora as he sailed through the crowd, his long strides swiftly closing the gap between them. Although Eve continued to speak, Nora's focus was unwavering, her eyes reflecting a tumult of feelings directed at Ryder. As Ryder approached closer, Eve’s gaze turned to the floor, unable to maintain his smile, before stepping back. She anxiously glimpses between him and Nora. The announcer was echoing throughout the place. “Let’s have our last dance for the night…”Ryder grabbed Nora’s hand and said, “Would you grant me the pleasure of dancing with you?" "D… d… don't think…” was all she blurted out. At this point, Alex had appeared next to Ryder, whose voice was dangerously low. "What is going on here, Ryder?” “Because I merely want to dance with her,” Ryder answered, still looking at Nora. Alex permitted it with a flick of his wrist, but his eyes were filled with envy.“Nora, I think we should have a conversation, don’t you think? Nora?” Nora blinked i

Eve's hands ran through the hair of Alpha Alex, trying to break him free from the tight grip of his hands over Nora's waist as they danced to the melody's beat that echoed in the hall… Giving Nora enough space to escape.Excuse me…she murmured and walked straight to her tin room….“Whore” she heard the omegas whisper as she brushed past them. She stared at them, intentionally rolled her eyes, and rushed down the corridor.“Make sure you go head down the corridor, and to your left is your rat room remember to come out here afterward to clean the left over from the guest, and when you are done cleaning, you can freshen up…..Alpha Alex will soon demand of you to peel off your flesh from your tonight display of shame…another omega shouted”.She nodded in affirmative but in her mind, she reckoned not to go.

    Nora's breath fastened as Ryder's lips left her mouth and traveled down to her neck and the sensitive part of her ear lip, which made her shiver in divine pleasure.Brushing his teeth and grazing the spot where a mate mark should have been.The heat of his breath sent hot shivers down her spine, arousing something deep and passionate within her-something she had believed was long buried.His breath was like droplets of steam along her body.“She gasped.”... He passed himself into her, and she felt how aroused he was.She moaned and tangled her hair in his silky hair, something she had wanted to do when he asked her for a dance, looking freaky hot. She has been damned ever since. She moved her hips and knowingly grounded her crotch against his, her breath flattened against his broad hairy chest. Seductively, she tangled a leg around his waist and pulled him closer, her hand playing on the waistband of his blue Calvin Klein underwear. He moaned out a sexy, predatory sound that made

    The sound drew closer and closer, Ryder swing Nora around and quickly hid her beneath his arm just behind the refrigerator.

He knew Alpha Alex's warriors were searching the Zodak Moon Pack for him, but they wouldn't find his oozing scent. He had been conscious, using the secret underground escape path his warriors had prepared in case of casualties.But his thoughts weren’t on his escape—it was on her. “Nora” his true mate.His heart tightened painfully at the recall of her in his arms, the way she had melted beneath his touch, her body responding to him regardless of her challenge. She still desired him. He could feel it in the way her breath fastened, in the way her hands gripped him like he was her lifeline support system. Yet, she had pushed him away, refusing to escape with him."R.ryder I have to go back to my room, or he’ll come after me with worse torment." Those were her exact words.Ryder grated his teeth, his murderous wolf growling in frustration. Just thinking o

Letting out exasperated sighs.He didn’t like being kept in suspense. And certainly not by him—the very Alpha who had once thrown Nora away like a broken toy, only to now desire her back but he was still not sure of Alpha Ryder's intentions.Still, the message his warriors brought from Alpha Ryder rang in his ears."I will come, but not because he has demanded it. But because I have demands to make. Not a request. Not a courtesy. “A demand”.“He gasps, releasing the warmth breath that had been stuck in his throat..“I wonder what Alpha Ryder wanted to demand”? "Why now?" Alex muttered, running a hand through his dark full hair. "Why at my Royal Banquet?"The timing was too convenient.

The air was tense as they requested an audience with the Alpha urgently."What's the matter?" Alpha Alex's eyes widened, his gaze darted between the seer and his guards as he stepped out of Nora's room. He was eager to know the reason behind the commotion between them."Alpha, we apologize for the disturbance, but we have an urgent issue to discuss with you," one of the seers replied, his voice firm and determined.Alex's inquisitiveness was piqued, and he quickly led the group to his Royal office. Immediately they entered, he shut the door behind them, his eyes fast with curiosity.There was a heavy silence as the three Seers stood before him, their cloaks moist from the storm outside. Lightning rumbled in the distance, the flickering candlelight casting weird shadows across their serious faces.Quickly "Speak," he commanded them, his voice low and threatening

    The forest around them pulses with the silence of anticipation, broken only by the rare whistling of an owl or the scratches of dry leaves beneath their feet. The moon hung high in the sky, radiating pale beams of blurred silver that filtered through the canopy trees, lighting their path as Nora, Alex, and Ryder moved through the woods forest, creating a path in the bushes.She adjusted her shoulder, her body still ached and her wrists were still red and raw from the silver chains. But Nora minds? Was sharp, clear and focused. There was no going back to that fragile wolf she was. Not after everything Eve had made her gone through in the hands of Alpha Alex.“I…I think we should stop here and rest for the night,” Ryder said suddenly, his voice steady as he gazed at Nora. His eyes held the concern of a man who hadn’t stopped watching her since they left the cave after fighting the deadly rogues.Nora nodded, appreciative but speechless. She was super tired, yes. But mostly, she was thin

    Her heart continued to pound tightly in her chest as the event before her unfolded like a scary nightmare, everything around her was strange. Dreadful rogues moved in, their glowing red eyes filled with evil, surrounding her and the masked man like a pack of hungry predators that have seen a prey to devour. The scent of blood and groans thickened in the air. Despite the danger, her eyes were fixed on the masked figure standing protectively in front of her.Nora inhaled, she knew that scent. That dreaded, powerful and familiar aura. The way he moved with precise, lethal grace with royalty.Yes, it was “Alex”.B..but why was he here? Why had he come to save her after everything he had done? Was Mary right when she said Alpha Alex still has feelings for me?Just before she could fully process it, a deep, harsh growl echoed through the cavern.

    Everywhere was dark when she woke up, she was no longer in the Zodak packhouse.Nora's head pounded, her body felt weak, and the sharp scent of earth and damp stone filled her nose.“Where am I?” She asked, opening her eyes slightly. With chains bounding her wrists tightly, which glow faintly with silver runes that suppressed her wolf within. She could feel a scary shadow loomed over her, she closed her eyes and reopen them again for a clearer vision, then she found herself staring at a face she hadn’t seen in years.A face that sent t chill through her spine.“Hello, Nora,” the man said, his voice smooth and deadly. “Did you miss me?”Her heart skips seeing the face standing before her, dressed in dark robes and exuding raw, terrifying power….Was the rogue Alpha who had once sworn to destroy the Zodak pack and behind him was Eve, smiling. “This is your new home Nora” A cave, this is where you belong. Eve said.Fear shoots up in Nora’s chest. A cave. That wasn’t just any punishment…w

    In the morning, Nora moved through the packhouse as if nothing had changed. She kept her head low, avoiding Eve and Alex as much as she could. But inside, she was counting the hours until she could retrieve the tracker stone from Eve’s room without being noticed.And If it worked, she would finally have proof.That evening, a sharp knock on her door made her blood cold. She turned the handle slowly and found herself face-to-face with two of Alex’s most powerful warriors.“Alpha Alex wants to see you,” one of them said, his face unreadable.She swallowed the hard lump in her throat. Was it because she declared she and Ryder had been together? Or did they catch her sneaking into Eve’s room the other day? Oh, maybe the tracker had been found? Whatever it was, seems urgent and important than whatever she had disclosed yesterday.She forced herself to nod. “I..I’ll be right behind you.”Her heart kept racing, as she followed them through the corridor.What if this was it? What if Alex was

    Her breath fastened as Ryder’s lips moved against hers, slow and steady……it deepened into something rough and intense as if he was trying to prove a point with every touch that he meant what he said. His hands cupped her face gently and romancing it with his fingers, his touch both familiar and dreadful. A storm of unexplainable emotions raged inside her…anger, longing, betrayal, and something deeper, something terrifying or maybe something she couldn't explain.Nora inhaled as his hands slid to her waist, pulling her against him. She could feel the beating of his heart against hers, the warmth of his body wrapping her like a promise he would never break again.She should push him away. She should remind herself of the pain he had once caused her, of the nights she had cried herself to sleep, cursing his name, the several calls and messages without reply But the moment his fingers trailed down her arm, sending shivers across her skin, she melted into him, lost with desirable pleasure.

    Nora’s heart continued trembling as she walked back into her room, her pulse racing from what she had just seen. Eve’s reflection… changed and twisted dark…the thought burned in her mind. She had suspected her stepsister of having wicked intentions, but this was something far worse.How could she be using dark magic? Something forbidden and deadly.If Alpha Alex knew this, would he eventually see Eve’s true colors? Or was he too lost under her spell to care about the truth?She shut the door silently behind her, resting against it to catch her breath. The smooth stone Elder Moscus had given her felt like it weighed a hundred pounds in her pocket before she placed it in Eve's floorboards. Oh dear lord “ I hope it works.” If it worked, it would expose Eve once and for all. But if it didn't work…N…No it couldn’t fail.A cracking sound near her window brought her out of her thoughts. Her heart froze to her throat as her wolf senses flared up, scanning the room and looking toward the win

    It was a cold night and the cool air brushed against Nora’s skin as she moved silently through the thick lonely forest. The moon hung high in the sky, radiating an eerie silver glow over the tangled tree branches. Her heart flumped against her ribs with each step she took toward the eastern border, following the direction on the parchment.This could be a trap, it kept resounding in her head.B..but if it wasn’t… and the Elder had answers,… she had to know and she didn't mind taking the risk.A twig snapped beneath her legs, and she froze, looking around the dark forest. The air felt unease with tension, and her wolf stirred up uneasily inside her. She tried to control her heavy breathing, she swallowed hard and she kept pushing forward. She had no choice now, she needed answers.When she reached the clearing, a tall, shaded figure stood waiting. His wide shoulders and the weight of authority in his position made her breath seized. It was him….Elder Moscus. One of the oldest and most

    Nora frowned as she walked back toward the packhouse. The moment she reached her room, she shut the door and relaxed against it, breathing angrily. Her blood still boiling from the confrontation with Alex and Eve, if she had not known Alpha Alex, she would have said he was already bewitched by that evil girl Eve. Damn him!What has come over him? He was letting the pack so vulnerable and the painful aspect was his I don't care attitude. Alpha Alex had always been careless and had left majority of the pack affair for her to be in control but not to this length. Something strange was fishing….Why was she still here? Why was she still putting up with this torment and humiliation she get from Alpha Alex every day?She had no true place in this pack anymore. The Omegas warming Alpha Alex's bed had no regard for her, the warriors didn’t respect her, Alpha Alex barely noticed her unless it was to scold or control her, and Eve… Eve is a complete description of evil and is still playing her

    Nora had walked quietly out of the pack, veiled, hoping that no one noticed her. Although all her wounds had healed up, her body was still tender and her mind was still raw with pain.“Luna,” an elderly woman called out, tapping her back affectionately. Nora stifled a whimper and ground her teeth as pain rippled through her nerves. Slowly she spun around and plastered a false smile on her face.“Zara,” she greeted.He gave her a wry smile, “Thank you. My mate told me how you helped her yesterday with foodstuffs for our pups. You're the best thing that has happened to this pack,” she said. Tears welled in Nora's eyes, her aching heart broke a little more pieces. Her smile faltered and she struggled to keep it up. “Don't mention Zare,” She croaked, “That's what a Luna is for, isn't it?” Nora asked.Zara grinned and squeezed her shoulders, “Yes, but you're humane about it. It's heartwarming. You are a true Princess, thank you.” She finished, smiling and hobbled away. The moment she wa
