Chapter 26
NATALIEShe then cursed the werewolves to have mates — the pair must be decided by the Moon Goddess.If someone decides to break off the bond bestowed by Moon Goddess, he/she will experience such pain which will drive them crazy and the innocent mate who will get rejected won’t survive either. The madness and the guilt of killing another person will be the punishment for defying the Moon Goddess’ will. At first, I thought it was really a curse. But with time, I saw the other side of this picture. Evangelina became a human and died as a human while her husband was beside her. Werewolves now have people they can rely on. Mates they can trust. A bond so strong with another person that every pain, every suffering disappears when the other half is near.All of it seems more like a blessing to me. That’s why I couldn’t reject Ryker after finding out he was truly my mate and Enzo was not. I didn’t want to kill him, and I didn’t want to go mad.And…what happened to the girls?Some say, the

NATALIEI know it’s him.Ryker. My mate.How long has he been here for? How much did he witness?When he sees me watching him, he leans to his right, stepping out of the dark. His bored expressions make me blink for a few times.Beside him stands another familiar face. The Beta of the Night Walkers Pack.My mind tries to understand why he is not doing anything. Does he intend to see me being sent off to some other older man so I can give birth to his children?Does he not care? Even in the slightest?The tears I held back until now, break all barriers and roll down my cheeks in waves.“ Tell us Natalie. Do you still have any objection? ” It’s a formality.It’s against the werewolf council’s rules to force a woman into anything. They need to know I agree to this.But what choice are they even giving me? They will kick me out if I don’t agree.“ I have a… ” I try again.Ryker lifts his left eyebrow, hinting at something. My eyes freeze at him, like my senses. I breath in and out slowly.

NATALIE“ Bring the Alpha’s son. We will ask him. ” The twins decide.Alpha Wilson gives me a murderous glance and then turns to the whispering crowd. “ This is not true. We all know Enzo. ”Then, he throws me a vicious glare. “ And we know Natalie Whitman. ”Now, it’s a war to prove this true. Anne and Giana are the witnesses and that’s probably why they must have been locked in the dungeons by now. The Alpha already feared that if those two girls were here, they would have done everything in their power to save me.I realise what they mean to me now. They have always protected me even if those two deranged friends ended up in trouble themselves. What am I going to do if their parents don’t let them testify? I rub my hands together.“ You should have thought about it before coming here when I clearly warned you. ” A deep voice whispers in my head.Did he just talk in my head? My eyes shoot up towards Ryker. He narrows his eyes and rests his back against the wall behind him. He dis
Chapter 29
NATALIE Ryker finally releases Enzo’s fist in a very gentle way. I blink at Enzo, not understanding anything anymore. He killed his mate. You might be his second chance mate. He is Ryker Ambrose after all. I recall everything my friends and I talked about. I thought he could never be my mate, not in a thousand years. Now, I can make sense of some things. I met him on a neutral territory, slept with him and saw his Beta lurking close to the room the next morning. The Night Walkers Pack people usually don’t tolerate any other pack’s members even on the neutral territory. They think they own everything and no one can stop them — no one, including the werewolf council. When I was walking with Enzo, my hand held in his, I saw that fucking Beta glaring at me. And I instantly released Enzo’s hand. That day, I had felt that strange emotion in the back of my mind. It was possessiveness. You are my Luna — it was a fucking call like that. As if he was warning me with his eyes to no

RYKERAlpha fucking idiot leads me to his office.He thinks he can hide his nervousness by keeping his posture straight. I can see how hard he is trying to not cower and find a corner to hide.He must have forgotten that all Alphas can smell strong emotions.When I enter his office, I leisurely take a look around. The bland brown furnished office matches his idiotic and cowardly personality. My eyes trail off to the mahogany table placed in one side of the office, the leather chair behind it and the pictures hanged over the wall. He coughs to grab my attention. I train my eyes on him.“ Take a seat, Alpha. ” He points towards the visiting chairs placed on the other side of the table.Instead of sitting down, I walk towards the window on the left side of his office. I take a look at the driveway which is visible from here.The guests are leaving. All this power pulsating through his place was giving me a fucking headache anyway.“ Talk. ” I let out, still staring down the window.“ I

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
