NATALIE“ It’s you. It’s really you. I can’t believe this. ” Rhianna squeezes the girl’s arms, assuring herself of her presence.I look away from Ryker and watch the skinny girl. Indeed, she is beautiful…and alive.Alive. Am I dreaming? Even the word ‘alive’ sounds strange.She was dead. She is…I breathe in, wondering if I am still asleep and if this is all a fucked up nightmare.“ I…You…what happened to you? ” Rhianna’s sobs snap me out of the daze.“ Take her to the room. ” Ryker tells Zio.My gaze switches between them all one by one. I do believe I am about to wake up from the nightmare. It’s enough, isn’t it?Zio pulls Britney away from Rhianna and grips her shoulders to help her walk forward. Instead of walking with him, she leaps for Ryker, grabbing his bicep, and pushing her body into his.Pain coils around my heart once more. It’s not supposed to hurt in dreams. When Ryker coils his arm around her waist cautiously, something breaks inside.My mind hits the low and I am force
Chapter 103
RYKER“ Don—Don’t reject me. ” It hurts me to even hear her saying this. I am surprised how I didn’t consider rejecting her at all. Yes. Britney is back and all but I still can’t bring myself to think about leaving her or letting her go.“ I am not going to reject you. ” I tell her, hoping it’s enough to say this once.“ No. You—You are going to reject me now that she is back. ” She rubs her nose against my shirt, crying loud as fuck.“ No. I am not doing that. ” I pat her back softly.She pulls back all of a sudden and looks at me with her burning amber eyes. Here is it — Misery turning into anger.“ You must be so happy. All you wanted was her and she is alive! ” She jerks out of my hold, taking a step back. “ And now you are going to throw me away because I am of no use to you. ” “ I have no intentions of throwing you away. ” I growl, frustrated with this turn of events because I don’t know how to react, what to do.One thing I am sure of…is the fact that I will never reject her
Chapter 104
RYKERI stroll to her and take her hand in mine before taking her towards the desk and sitting her down over it. She lets me do that—I am grateful for that.I don’t have the will to fight right now. I feel like a fucking puppet who was made to run around in circles to take revenge for something which never happened. Yes. They killed my child and it’s something I will never be able to forget. But seeing Britney has thrown me off the game, making me ponder over many things.I plop down on the chair, placing my hands over her bare thighs to feel the delicate cold skin under my fingertips.“ You love her. ”My hands freeze close to her knees, shivering slightly. I drag my gaze up to look into her eyes. “ I loved her. ” It’s so easy to correct her.“ You still love her. That’s why you brought her into our home. ” She shakes her head using her ultimate weapon against me.Our home. The words echo in my mind. My hands squeeze her knees instinctively, the sparks running down my skin, calming
Chapter 105
NATALIE “ Did she go to North Forest Pack? ” I ask Ryke who is sitting on the chair in front of me. The patrol guards informed Zio that Anne left the premises. They tried to stop her, but she didn’t stay. Zio mind—linked Ryke and told him about her departure. Now, he is texting Zero to check up on her. I feel awful for what I did. I decided to deal with her calmly before, but she appeared at the worst time, and I took my anger out on her. For the first time since I figured everything out, I feel like my actions were unfair. Anne didn’t deserve this. “ She just arrived. ” Ryke nods, taking his eyes off his phone’s screen and peering up at me. I sigh, my shoulders loosening. Thank Goddess! “ Why did you ask her to leave in the first place if you were going to be so worried? ” He is back to his usual self, so it’s not shocking, that he is mocking me. I groan, placing my palms against the desk’s surface. “ I didn’t know she was going to leave if I asked. ” “ You are weird. That
Chapter 106
NATALIE He sure knows how to make me throw all rational thoughts out of the wide-open window in my mind. My nails scratch his scalp while I enjoy his so-called wild reaction to my touch. He scrunches his nose and turns me. My hands fall away from his head, shooting to his arm around my waist. My back arches against his body, head falling into his shoulder as he presses my front into the wall steadily. After shoving my hair to my right shoulder, his lips find the mate mark over my neck. Sucking, biting, and licking intensely. I moan, pushing my body closer to his to feel him against me. Ryker unzips my dress, letting it fall and pool around my ankles. Cold air kisses my skin, causing goosebumps to rise all over my body. Judging from the way his hands hurriedly unhook my bra and then pull down my panties, I can tell he is desperate. His lips claim the mark, over and over again. My head spins, my core aching for him. “ I can’t—can’t deal with your teasing shit right now. ” I gru
Chapter 107
ANNEI can’t believe she asked me to leave. Does she not know why I did this? She must have recalled how I stressed she was going to die, but what did she do? She called me a power—hungry bitch. So, I had to get rid of the root of the problem because the troubled idiot refused to listen.After everything I went through to ensure Natalie’s survival and safety, she simply asked me to fuck off instead of giving me a chance to explain.I was shocked and regrettably heartbroken. But not enough to hide in a corner and cry for days straight or to run away.That’s not me.I have a knack for fixing things when it comes to two bitches haunting me. A long—long time ago, I was going on the right path, hating all the people in power and wanting to be someone as powerful as them, but the day I overheard the conversation between that twat Alpha and useless father of Natalie, I realized I was scared of losing her or Giana. They were the only people in my life who stood up for me, tried to protect me,
Chapter 108
ANNE He darts his tongue out, wetting his thick lips. The darkness of his eyes seems to be shifting like shadows, beautiful but deadly. When I realize how it sounded to him, I try to explain without giving too much away. “ I am not planning on giving potion to Natalie. No, I don’t need to do that anymore because Ryker is there to protect her. ” And that fucker Alpha is there to tell her how horrible I am for what I did too, given that he didn’t let me reveal everything to her myself. “ What do you want from her? ” He remains unbothered, not giving anything away.I observe him for a moment more. His stony jaw clenches, a vein throbbing under it. “ I want her to tell something to Natalie and Alpha Ryker. ” I whisper, detaching my eyes from his smooth skin. “ If you know what it is, why don’t you tell them yourself? ” He avoids the secret and jumps to the question which concerns me. I poke my inner cheek with my tongue, huffing. “ I would have told Natalie myself and she would ha

NATALIERyke took me back home and Zio was already waiting for us in the living room. Britney was sleeping in her room so no one needed to be by her side.“ Get something out of the Beta. ” Ryke commands Zio as soon as he is close to him.He could have mind—linked him but he didn’t because he wanted me to know what they are doing now. Ryke has informed me about the whole rogue situation. He has also told me that they caught the so—called Beta, Maxwell of the strange rogue pack.“ I should stay here and look after Britney. ” Zio sighs, disregarding what his Alpha is saying.I think this is the first time I have ever seen him talking back instead of uttering ‘Sure Alpha’ or some other nasty remark before getting back to work.I wrap my arms around myself, watching him closely. Is Britney’s return going to become a problem bigger than I am anticipating? The cruel question is pounding at the back of my mind for a while now.“ Zio. She is at my house. She will be fine. ” Ryke assures him a
