All Chapters of The Lycan's Mate.: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

When her eyes opened again, Riley's blood turned cold immediately.A very fetid smell came to her nostrils and she suddenly realized what was happening when her blurry eyes saw the black, ominous objects around her. Vultures! They had surrounded her, four of them, thinking she was dead. She was so tired and weak, but the fear of the sharp beaks of the ugly birds digging into her flesh made a rush of adrenaline fuel her for a short period. The birds watched with their crooked necks and hideous bald heads keenly and when their prey moved, they took steps back. Riley's groping hand found and gripped a stone and she hurled it at one of the big birds. They scampered away, but not too far, they hung and waited on low branches of nearby trees. With a desperate effort, Riley struggled to her feet and tottered forward. Her knees felt wobbly and like they were going to give up on her anytime soon, her body was burning with exhaustion. She was starving, her whole body was weakened, languid,

The other maids in the house stared at her as though she was an alien that had just fallen from space. This town was so small and old-fashioned that a visitor was such a rare thing. In the room Riley had been kept in, from time to time the maids snuck in one by one to have a look at her while the others peeped from the door which was left ajar.Riley had been unconscious for almost six hours and she woke up when she felt something poking at her face. Slowly and with a groan, she opened her eyes and stared at the startled maid who was poking at her cheeks in awe. The maid froze, terrified, she let out a scream that rang throughout the room and Riley was so surprised by her actions. The other maids at the door, noticing what had happened scampered away but when they turned, they froze as they saw Caleb staring at them."What the hell are you all doing here?" He bellowed and they bowed their heads and walked briskly away, leaving the frightened maid stranded in the room. "Ugh! They can b

Lucas was furious and irritated at the same time as he stared at Dolph who stood with his head bowed down at the doorway. "I should imprison all of you, shouldn't I?" Lucas asked angrily. Dolph nodded furiously, "Yes, they all need to be dealt with!" He concurred vehemently. Lucas glared at him, "Without the exception of you too, Dolph!" He snapped. Dolph's eyes widened, "Me? What did I do?" He asked, aware that Lucas wasn't kidding with his words. "Exactly!" Lucas exclaimed and got to his feet. "The same question I've been asking myself for about four days now, what have you done?" Dolph frowned, "Oh common, don't push this entire search mission on me, I do not have bloody clones, neither am I fucking omnipresent or something." He retorted. Lucas squinted at him, "What the fuck do you mean by that, Dolph?" He asked in a menacing tone, but Dolph wasn't to be intimidated this time. "What I fucking mean by that is that I have to be at the pack office every bloody day to make

The next morning, Lucas was already up and ready before the clock struck seven.He felt dumb for not taking part in the search right from the start, by now, they would have gone far with the search for her. He had kept a distance from Brenda ever since the incident, the last thing he was going to do was apologize to her, it would be stupid to do that.The more the days passed by without them talking, the higher the cold wall of pride that was building between them grew and the more desperate to find Riley he became. As he was about to step out of his room, he heard a knock on the door and he opened it. It was Brenda. He was surprised to see her here but he was also very impatient and in a hurry to get rid of her. "Lucas, can we talk?" She asked gently.First of all, he wasn't in the mood to talk to her, secondly, he didn't want to waste any more valuable time. Riley had to be found as soon as possible and the more time he wasted, the further she got away from him. He shook his head

They remained on the top of the mountain until the sun started to set and the bright sky took on a pale red tinge."This is the best time of the day to be up here, you can see just how beautiful nature can be." He said to her as he stared fixedly at the sky. "This is a pretty interesting place, having nothing much to do but run the business that keeps the city alive and studying the daily habits of everyone, it is fun at times."Riley's lips curled into a faint smile and she said, "That's such a boring way to have fun, Caleb. I'd like my fun to be with a charming man on a horse who is ready to go on an adventure with me."He looked at her, "A charming man on a horse? Your imagination sure is very creative, have you found or encountered that charming man?" He asked. "Yeah, but he wasn't on a horse, instead he was in a fancy and luxurious limousine." She replied. "I'd have preferred a horse frankly.""Is it the man you talked about earlier?" He asked.She nodded, "Yeah, he was a charmi
