CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

ORLATHREE YEARS LATERAfter the memorial, things got a little blurry. Mostly because I felt like I did something that I shouldn’t have. Or said something that I shouldn’t have.The look I’d seen on Maverick’s face after I’d kissed Ryker, bothered me to the extent that I saw it on nights before I fell asleep. I didn’t fully understand why. I always thought that his gestures were nothing more than attempts at making fun of me and misleading me.He had looked so heartbroken.I still continued to search for more information concerning the kidnappings, but when the time came for me to finally start college, I had to shift my priorities.There were moments at school that I simply wanted to go home and just be done with it. I decided to major in History, because the world we lived in had supernatural secrets that had been buried for years. My studies showed me that werewolves, vampires and other supernatural beings had been in the world for years and years, possibly even before the appearan

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

MAVERICKThree years.Three good years.Three good years that I didn’t get to see her.I popped the textbook shut and sighed. For the past three years, I threw myself fully into work, schooling, and anything else that could have eased the terrible longing in my heart. It was no different from a festering wound that refused to heal.Even after three years, my heart still called out desperately for her. Conri would not let me rest, and every full moon was pure agony. Since that memorial service, where I'd seen her kissing that guy, I'd known no peace. I wished I didn't witness such, because for weeks after, it was all I could think about.The way she looked at him and told him that she chose him as her mate. The way she pressed herself against him. The way onlookers had stopped and watched them with adoration.I didn’t want to believe it. I'd hoped desperately for my eyes to be playing some kind of trick on me. How could my mate, my other half, the only one that could ever complete me,

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

ORLAOur home reeked of different perfumes and pheromones. They coalesced at the bottom of my throat and formed an itchy lump that refused to go away.I could have locked myself away in my bedroom, but I couldn’t. The people that had gathered here, did so because of me. They were eager to size up the potential leading alpha of the clan.The way things worked was that there were multiple alphas within our clan, and each presided over their own pack. To become an alpha, a beta must kill one, or have one submit to the other in a certain fashion that must be strictly followed.Dark Moon pack was the first pack in the clan, and most of the other alphas had the same blood that flowed in my father in them as well.There was nothing that brought all the packs together like such an event. Some packs were in competition with one another, and always looked forward to the moment that power would fall into their claws. My dad had to fight against five representatives from the other packs to show hi

CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR

ORLA“I refuse. You will not take my daughter anywhere,” my father said, voice hard.My mother came out to see the cause of the commotion.Todar huffed. “Why? Are you scared that your weakling of a child will bring disgrace to your family?”“I’m warning you, Todar. I am still the Alpha of this clan, and I will not take such disrespect from you.”“How am I disrespecting you simply by asking your daughter to prove herself? If she simply comes with us and gives us a little demonstration of her strength, I’ll be more than happy to accept her as the new Clan Alpha.”“These things are done a certain way, Todar. I won’t allow you to make a mess of the rules here.”Todar looked straight at me. It was like his eyes were an ignition to the flame slowly burning up my heart. I knew that people would doubt me, especially since I’d been away for a while, but I didn’t expect it to be like this. Now I had to prove myself to these people.My father was pushing back as well because he believed that I d

CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE

MAVERICKI smelled her blood. The irresistible scent that she carried about every single day. I called to be, and I had to answer.I didn’t intend to see her so soon, but I went for a run, and somehow, I found myself running through the path that we’d met that night when we got attacked. Next came her scent that pulled me through the bushes and past the trees, turning the sky into a blur of colors and the air a hand brushing across my skin.I heard her grunt of pain, and the scream of a woman.When I emerged, I saw her rising from the ground like a warrior. Her eyes shone with determination, and her limbs trembled with untapped power. It made me wonder if the people with her knew just exactly what she was capable of.And then the fight was over once she slashed her opponent across the throat in a manner that looked fatal, but wasn’t. She’s claimed her victory.But something was happening in the background. Something that no one else noticed until it was too late.A man brought out a g

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

ORLAI quickly stepped away from Maverick. This was the worst time for Ryker to have walked in on us. What if he’d overheard our conversation?Another thing that irked me was how close his hand was to my backside. I didn’t like such close contact with him, and he always did things like this out of the blue where I wouldn’t be able to protest. I could have pushed him off me, but I didn’t need him to start bugging me with questions I wouldn’t want to answer.Maverick stood up from the sofa and stared at the both of us. I couldn’t tell what he was feeling from the blank expression he had on his face, but he definitely didn’t look too pleased with the situation. His chest had healed, with the bullet wound completely gone. This also allowed me the luxury of running my eyes down his muscled chest and well-defined abs. Since I’d ripped his shirt open, he’d likely have to leave with his shirt open like that. Initially, I didn’t intend to do such, but a mild panic had taken over me when I real

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN

AUTHOR’S POVRyker paced around his bedroom, unable to keep his mind clear. Every time he closed his eyes, images of Maverick towering over him flashed through his mind and filled him with a new wave of fear. Never in his life had he felt totally helpless and useless.Even worse, he had to face such humiliation in front of Orla. How would she ever respect him when she had seen how frightened he could become? She already didn’t consider him very important in her life, or else she would have agreed to complete the mate bond with him. But she’d refused at every turn, telling him to wait just a little bit longer.Well, to hell with waiting. He wouldn’t waste any more time. He wouldn’t be pushed around anymore like a fool that didn’t know his left from right.One good thing he had done, though, was create a failsafe in case things didn’t go as he had initially planned. For Orla to give in to his requests, he would have to give her a little motivation. If she saw that he was capable and fou

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT

ORLAI put my feet on my bedroom desk and carefully sliced off the skin of my apple. As I opened my mouth to eat it, I looked at Makila, who watched me quietly from her spot on my bed. “Want some?” I pointed the apple in her direction.She cleared her throat like one trying to dislodge something. “I already ate.”“Are you sure? It’s quite good.”“No, mistress.”I threw my head back and groaned. “I’ve told you to stop calling me that. I have a name you know. And I don’t appreciate that ‘mistress’ nonsense.”“To call you by your name, would be to disrespect you.”I chewed on the apple. “Well you’re disrespecting me by insisting on using a title I don’t like.”“Apologies.”“Where have you been, since I left?” I asked the question that had been bugging me since I saw her. “Even when I returned, you weren’t here.”She looked out the window. “Home.”“Where’s home?”“You wouldn’t know it, even if I told you,” she said, turning her face away from me.I sat up straight and finished up the rest

CHAPTER THIRTY NINE

ORLAAfter my would-be assailants were apprehended, I told Makila to take them and Trevor back home, with the help of Ryker, who had very unexpectedly arrived right at the scene. I found it humorous that he believed that I wouldn’t catch on to the absurdity of the situation. How was it that I got attacked, and not long after, he showed up, looking all too ready to play the hero.I’d seen the clear surprise in his expression, and while it could have simply alluded to the oddity of crossing paths with me on the street, everything about the situation seemed too orchestrated. Like how the assailants had been . . . stalling. They wasted time just standing in front of me and threatening to kill Trevor. If their real intention was to hurt me, they could have, especially since they took me by surprise initially, and had Trevor as their hostage. Things started to seem weird right from the moment the male and female that had blocked the car’s path simply stood, not bothering to do anything else

CHAPTER FORTY

ORLAMaverick and I parted ways after the meeting, after which I wasted no time in heading back home to where those people were being held.On getting home, I immediately rushed into the basement of our home, moving down the darkened path rarely used by anyone. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been down here. Maybe when I was seven or eight.Finally down there, I walked up where Makila stood watching over them. The two men were bound to chairs and struggled against their bonds, sneering at me as I entered. One jutted his neck out and flashed sharp teeth in my direction, and Makila smacked him right in the temple with an iron rod. He fell back with a grunt and went quiet.“Have you gotten anything from them?” I asked.Makila shook her head. “Not yet. Their mouths are clamped tighter than a screw. They must be very, very loyal to their leader. “As Alpha now, I had the ability to use Alpha Dominance. I’d never used it before, but I had to try because it was the only way I could hop
