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

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

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,

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

NATALIEI grow impatient when Britney keeps staring at me and Ryker remains silent. The tension between us three grows and grows until the string is pulled so tight that I think I am going to throw up if he doesn’t say anything to her.“ Ryker, who is she? ” She looks away, asking him once more.My gaze is drawn to my mate who is giving me his whole attention now. There are creases over his forehead. A nerve ticks in his hard-set jaw. I pull my quivering lower lip between my teeth. My heart is thumping against my ribcage violently.“ Britney. ” Ryker sighs at last.I drop my hands by my side and clench them into fists. He is going to lie. I fucking swear I will throw a huge tantrum without giving a fuck about what we agreed upon.Ryker takes his eyes off me, a defeated gleam clouding his gaze. My heartbeat slows down as the calmness spreads. “ When you rejected me, the bond between us broke. ” He tells her while he grabs her hands that were resting over his thighs.I peer at Britne
Chapter 111
NATALIEI like to think that the whole Britney situation didn’t let me sleep the whole night but deep down, I know it’s not true. It’s the jerk mate who didn’t let me sleep.Even after staying in the same house, having sex, and knowing we care about each other, we never slept on the same bed. But, yesterday night, he decided he wanted to stay right by my side. He crushed me in his arms the whole night and because of that, my heart had gone on a rollercoaster. I couldn’t blink my eyes, let alone sleep.Now, I feel dead. He is still asleep but I am sitting on the kitchen stool, drinking my coffee lazily while thinking about his sudden change of behavior. Britney’s arrival was supposed to break us apart but Ryke has proved me wrong which is making me nervous and kinda happy in a bitchy way at the same time.My ears perk up when the main door opens. I stay in the same spot, waiting for him to appear in the kitchen.“ Good Morning, Luna. ” Zio appears in front of me, aiming straight for

NATALIE“ My child died when they knocked me down and gave me wolfsbane. ” The first thing she reveals makes me shrink in myself. The foreign agony makes me sick to my stomach and I don’t want to imagine if it’s only a fraction of his pain or if it's everything he feels.“ At first, they planned on blackmailing me with you. They said to me that they are going to make you come clean about something by using me. I was so scared, so I rejected you instantly. ” Britney sighs, rubbing her palms.“ When I rejected you…my wolf died. That’s probably why you all couldn’t feel my presence in the Pack bond either. ” She looks at Ryker who is still standing by my side.My chest tightens as I steal a glance at her face. Her eyes are glazed over, hinting that her mind is traveling to dark places.“ I thought—I thought they will kill me. ” She jerks her head back, blinking rapidly. “ But they didn’t. ”“ Why? ” Ryker asks.My head turns in his direction. He is being too harsh right now. She just to
