RYKER“ And I will take all of it from you. That land. This land. ” I chuckle when he holds his breath. “ All of the pack. ”“ Alph—Alpha Ryker…you can… ” He tries.“ Don’t bother. ” I shake my head, stepping away.I take my hand off his shoulder.“ Get yourself prepared. I am going to kill you…and… ” I pause to think what I should do to him.He still has his breath held.“ I should take your tongue out and cut it off first. You talk too much. ” I hum, wondering if it’s a good choice.“ Or simply beheading you is better. I will need to let the survivors know who their Alpha is…when I take over. ” I shrug my shoulders.“ I will decide after I kill you. Maybe, I will get some good ideas later. ” I smile at him and pat his shoulder.Alpha twat exhales and pushes himself back.“ You can’t come into my pack and threaten me like this. ” He retorts weakly, his eyes switching colours at a fast pace.“ I can’t? ” I wonder out aloud.‘ Asshole. ’ Grey muses.“ But I just did. ” I chuckle.His f

NATALIE I was aroused when I fought with the guards for ten minutes straight. My ovaries were about to burst and those guards could surely sense my arousal. Their lopsided grins and disgusted glances made everything clear. I heard Ryker’s voice in my head again. It only made the sexual tension worse. I had to shut my mouth if I didn’t want the guards to know what was going on in my head at this point. Surprisingly, their eyes glazed over after a moment and they allowed me to leave. Alpha had ordered them to let me go. I was baffled. I left immediately. For an hour, I wandered around in search of Giana and Anne. They were not at the confinement house anymore. Their parents had taken them away before I arrived there. I went to Giana’s house. For the first time in my life, Mrs. Norman didn’t allow me to step inside her house. She opened the door, stepped out and told me I was getting her daughter in trouble. ‘ It’s dungeon today. It will be exile tomorrow. ’ It hurt me to hear t

NATALIE“ I want my phone, Mom. ” I mumble as soon as I climb the first stair.After wandering around for another hour, I finally came home. Mom opened the door, scowled but didn’t say anything.This hinted Alpha has already talked to Dad and they will refrain from abusing me from now on.Despite all this, the situation is unsettling. My guts are twisting.Silently, Mom goes to her room. I turn around and watch her.She appears out of her room and walks to me. She hands me the phone and I take it without saying a word.“ You won’t be able to stay here for long. ” She hisses venomously when I have turned around and climbed another stair.My heart skips a beat. I halt, breath and glance at her from over my shoulder.Bitter words dance at the tip of my tongue but I don’t want to say it.I love her. I love them.Shaking my head, I climb the stairs.“ You avoided it this time. But you will have to leave! I won’t bear a whore for a daughter for much longer. ” She scoffs behind me.I don’t r

NATALIE“ I would have told you to keep your sexy ass there for a while. Of course. ” He deadpans.I chuckle. He is a jerk.I don’t know how but I have a feeling if I had said yes, he would have really come.But, I don’t know what I am getting into. “ You don’t trust me yet. Not after knowing who I am. I knew you were never going to say yes. ” Ryker adds.My smile falls. He is not wrong — again.“ They say…” I look down at the bedsheet, nibbling on my lower lip.“ That I killed my mate. This bothers you the most, doesn’t it? It’s the most terrible thing one of us can do. ” Ryker makes it sound so uncomplicated.I shake my head. “ So…is it true? Did you really… ”I don’t really want the answer to that. I don’t want to know anything about his previous mate. I simply want to know if there is a chance for us, if he is ever going to love me like a mate and not treat me like some second chance trash.“ You handled the situation well. For now. ” Ryker changes the subject and ignores my ques

ANNEI am different.Unlike Natalie who is the beta’s daughter and Giana whose parents are warriors, I am the daughter of a patrol guard. I have never known power. Always craved for it though.But, I have been told again and again in my life that I will only be able to become one of two things in life. A patrol guard, which is highly unlikely because I am a woman. Or a patrol guard’s mate, a woman who will only birth a man’s children. That’s it.I have always hated this. Always got bullied for it.With no one to turn towards and no one to stand up for me, I have only known what it’s like to be on the receiving end.Does this make me furious? Yes. Definitely.Sometimes, I want to turn everything upside down, scream at the people who tell me I am one of the lowborn and I will always remain so.The purpose of my existence is to protect Alpha, Beta, Warriors and their families.When I was a child, I was always resenting the powerful people for it. Guess what they did? Resented me back a

NATALIEMy head hurts. I swear to Moon Goddess, it feels like my skull is crushed. I groan, reaching out to my head with my hands.“ You woke up. ” Anne’s voice falls over my ears.“ What — What are you doing in my room? ” I croak, keeping my eyes squeezed shut.“ We are not at your house. ” Giana mutters from somewhere close.I sense my eyebrows shooting up. It hurts to do it even unconsciously.“ What does that — that mean? ” I sigh.“ It means we have managed to run away. ” Giana chirps.My eyes shoot open in horror. An unfamiliar white ceiling stares back at me. I blink a few times to get rid of the fog clouding my mind.Sleep for a while. Giana’s voice whispers to me.I jump up and look around hysterically.“ WHAT THE FUCK?! ” I yell, regretting it right after a moment when my throat begins to hurt.I take in the unfamiliar — spacious room. Everything is white and gold in here. I am sitting over a bed with all white sheets and golden covers for pillows. I glance at the huge glass

NATALIEI whip around. My chest presses against his. It’s really him. That’s what I lacked.Ryker peers down at me. There is no clear emotion in his eyes, just a casual look.“ Hi! ” Awkward.His eyebrows pinch together. I swallow.He leans in. I crane my neck back to get away. Our noses touch and the electrifying sparks fly around me.“ What are you doing here, love? ” His hot breath fans my lips as he questions in a hoarse voice.Keeping my focus solely on him, I try to come up with an answer, something to say. But we all know how it goes when Ryker is this close to me.“ I am still here. ” A new voice sounds in the elevator.Surprised, I glance at my right to see the familiar face of the Night Walker Pack’s beta. He smiles at me when he notices me looking his way.“ Hey Luna! ” He chirps, sounding so different from the time when I had to run away from the club because of him.“ Oh…Hey…” I try to smile but I don’t know what I really look like right now.I am probably grimacing inst

NATALIE“ Why are you here? You made a hard decision when you decided to apologise for telling the truth. Then why did you run away? ” He rests his back against the wall, not bothered by anything at all.I forget how to breathe, looking at him. He holds my eyes captive. He makes me ponder over many thoughts.“ You knew…yet you didn’t do anything to stop it? ” I sigh at the end, complaining.Even when I fucking told myself I won’t complain.“ I asked you if you wanted me to come get you. You said no. It was your choice. I won’t force you into anything. ” He shrugs his shoulders, making it sound so simple as always.I open my mouth. And close it. Open it again and no words come out of it.Ryker takes this time to check me out. His eyes turn dark when he is done with that.“ You are such an… ” Ass.Am I in a position to say this to a man everyone fears?I should be playing the ‘ I am fucking nice ’ card right now.Ryker steps forth. I stumble back but he grips my wrist and make me come b

NATALIE“ Wait…Where are we? ” I pull back, trying to peek over his shoulder.Ryker’s desire filled eyes darken. I swallow and hold his shirt between my fingers.“ I am done being nice. ” He breathes, sending chills rushing down my spine.Releasing my body from his hold, he steps backward.“ Strip, and get on your knees. ” He murmurs.I search his eyes. My cheeks flush. Electricity pulses through my veins at his sudden demand.“ Ar—Are you like…serious? ” I mumble.Ryker’s intense gaze tells me all I need to know.“ Now, love. ” He leans in, his focus unnerving.Heat shoots to my core, making me squeeze my thighs. Holding eye contact with Ryker, I shrug off his jacket from over my body. It drops to the floor with a soft thud. The left corner of Ryker’s lips twitches, his eyes twinkling with a hint of playfulness.This surprisingly encourages me. I grip the helm of the tank top and take if off my body.Cool air brushes against my nipples, making me shiver once more. His eyes gaze up

NATALIEI obey and stand up. In an instant, Ryker is drawing me to his body, our lips connecting with an unrealistic passion.My chest presses against his, pleasure rolling down my body in waves.His tongue invades my mouth which still tastes like his cum. He groans against my lips, stealing the breath out of my lungs.Ryker’s hands hold my butt cheeks, squeezing with a bruising force. My hands reach out to his head, my fingers curling around his soft hair, harder and harder by the moment.Ryker disconnects our lips and beckons me to the couch in the living room. I follow him on my wobbly legs.He bends me down over the couch’s arm, my stomach pressing onto it slightly. I breathe in heavily, anticipating having him buried deep inside of me.He doesn’t make me wait. His wet cock presses against my drenched pussy. I draw another breathe in, preparing myself for the stretch and burn of fitting him inside me and having him ravage me like a beast.Ryker slowly pushes his tip inside my wet
