All Chapters of Alpha Rylan: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

~DawnI pull away from Alden's grasp in fright.His words had my mind spinning, and for a moment, I thought I would die right there. It was Alden who caught me, his arms coming up to steady me. Wild, vibrant colours crawl across his face, which is etched with concern. In that moment, I was certain I would faint in his arms, however, Rylan was at my side in a second, his hands touching my arms and back. Like an instant relief, my muscles relaxed and my mind righted itself, the fog clearing, drawing the colours and vision manipulation away. I was left feeling sick to my stomach."She needs rest," Alden murmurs, taking a step back as I lean closer to Rylan, trying to make sense what he had said. I'm going to die? "We need an explanation," Rylan says, speaking my words for me. Alden didn't say anything, as he walked past Malik again, standing directly in front of the couch. That moment of sympathy, concern, was gone in a second. An Alpha took its place. A cold, indifferent Alpha who lo

~DawnI could have melted into the wall behind me. With the pressure of Rylan's body against mine, the heat. It burnt me inside out, to even consider pulling away. So for that moment, I didn't. Fate, Kaden and Alden sunk to the back of my mind like an anchor in the sea. My hands speak for my thoughts I have kept buried within my mind - thoughts I didn't know existed. One delves into the silken strands of his hair, while the other digs into his shoulders, caught only by the fabric of his shirt from making lasting marks. I'm not pure. Especially not as pure as Rylan claims to be. So I've figured out what I like and don't like. It may just be the mate bond, but Rylan is pushing all the right buttons. Still connected by an addictive kiss, I'm twisted by Rylan's strong hands. Suddenly, I'm aware of how the wall was my crutch, as my legs almost collapse under me. Rylan doesn't let me go. He doesn't falter in holding me up, nudging me gently with his body toward the bed. There's sense in

~DawnAsher didn't move back, despite Rylan's presence. He knew he was there. How long my mate had been watching I don't know, but something tells me Asher was fully aware of it the entire time. He's like that. He enjoys getting a rise out of people, seeing them react. The real tip off that he knew was the smirk that continued to play on his lips, as he looked down at me, not bothering to acknowledge Rylan. "What's going on?" Rylan asks softly, sounding lost, distant. I'm stuck between Asher and a bench top, with neither seeming to be going anywhere any time soon. The silence is deadly, before Asher chuckle's, golden eyes gleaming as he says, "Dawn and I were just catching up on things. It's been awhile since her and I talked, Rylan. I can promise you nothing else is going on."Asher didn't sound convincing on any level. He has no interest in continuing the conversation between us, or at the very least, in preserving the respect between him and the Alpha of Purity. At this point, h

~RylanThe way Dawn looked at me hurt. I thought I finally had her. Before this revelation, I fully believed Dawn had accepted a life with me and wanted to try, and not just for Lucy, her sister. Now, I can see the disdain in her eyes, as she regards me, probably contemplating ways to either kill me or escape. "I just don't understand why...why Kaden?" she questions, her voice hoarse as if she's attempting to hide back tears. I don't think I could handle it if she did.I can't stand here and pretend to be the man back in the Purity Pack. He's someone I should be. He wants to do good for all in his Pack, believing with them in the Goddess. Of course, I'm not him. Not anymore. That year without Dawn killed me. It crushed the good part of my heart while I was at my worst, wondering why my mate didn't want me. "He helped me find you," I tell her. I wish it was easy to explain the situation. She never wanted me, but I needed her. Not just so my Pack would have a Luna - which was my excu

~Dawn"I thought we agreed that you would stay in your room."Rylan stands with his arms crossed over his chest, blocking the exit to the room. I shoot him a deadpan look. He knows very well that me staying in here for the rest of my life so I don't have to face the possibility of finding my other mate. I'm not even sure I would have any sense of mental stability after a few weeks.Plus, I'm curious. "You can't hide from your own fate, you know," I say, which Rylan understands very well, yet is still being stubborn. "He's going to come walking along one day and-""And I'll kill him."I narrow my eyes on him. "Don't be like that."He still doesn't move from where he stands. The man from the Discipline Pack that Mara mentioned has already arrived, and I'm curious to meet him. What if he is my other mate? How would he react to finding out he would be sharing with an Alpha. Not thrilled, I'm sure. Especially since it is Fate's doing."The man is a bounty hunter that used to work for Kad
