ZORA "Come on," Ryker whispered in my ears, "It's our honeymoon. We are supposed to be enjoying it."I nuzzled my face in the crook of his neck, "We just a few miles away from the palace, in a fancy and very expensive hotel. What's there to do aside doing nothing.""You asked for space, remember?" He questioned, "And I think I've left you alone for too long,""Less than twenty-four hours," I countered, removing my face to glance up at him."That's long enough," he shrugged, "your personal space includes me,"I rolled my eyes at him, "Fine, do you have something in mind?"He grinned, "Just the perfect and appropriate idea of fun. You wouldn't even need to leave the building."I wriggled my brows, "Now, I'm interested. "He gave me a light kiss on the lips and led me to a room in the penthouse. Then he opened the room.I forgot how to breathe for a second. The bond was excited, my wolf was thrilled. This would be her first time.Ryker's eyes twinkled as he regarded me, "What do you t

BONUS CHAPTER OF WESLEY AND COURTNEY The library wasn’t the place to fall in love. At least, that’s what Courtney told herself when she caught him looking at her again.Wesley.They’d barely spoken over the course of months she'd been here but she was always catching him looking at her.And now, like usually, she could feel his gaze on her across the room and it made her aware of everything concerning her.She tried to focus on the book she was reading, her eyes dragging over the same sentence again and again times without taking in a single word.Finally, she lifted her head, and as expected, he was staring like she was the only page worth reading.Her heart skipped. Say something, her mind screamed, but her body was co-operating. All she managed was a tilt of her head and raising her brow in question.That was enough. He stood, walking towards her."Courtney." His voice was deep and rich.She swallowed, her throat dry. "Wesley."He leaned on the edge of her table, close enough th

SIX MONTHS LATER ZORA We stood before Leah's grave, head bowed as we said our silent prayers.Marissa was by my side as a free woman, no longer bound with being called my maid servant.Wesley, Courtney, and Grace were standing not far away.Tyler was on the floor, tears brimming in his eyes. "Do you think she's happy?" He asked.I shrugged, I had no idea too. The woman that appeared to her apparently wasn't Semya. Maybe it was the deity. I can only hope she's okay." I hope so," I whispered. Tyler kissed her grave and went to stand beside Ryker. Yes, Ryker.You read that right. After I "unalived" him.Wesley took his body inside to clean later.Then, at night, when the chaos had settled down and I was still mourning her child, Wesley barged into my room to announce that somehow, Ryker was alive.The beast was dead. He was healed, but my child was still gone.It wasn't until Leah's body started decaying before I lost hope of her coming back to life.Semya said it was because the

ZORA "You're not actually thinking about this, right?" Marissa screamed, "You're going to kill your child and your mate.""He's going to wipe the world clean." The first tear escaped my lids."Ask yourself, WWRD." Wesley said flatly, "What would Ryker do?""Ryker would take his chances and go into hiding with his children." I replied because I know that's what he would do."Good!" Wesley snapped his fingers.I have two minutes left. I picked up the knife I earlier cut myself with and made another bigger cut to have the knife completely filled with my blood. "I have to do this," I whispered, "For the sake of everyone. I don't have to be selfish.""Selfish is exactly what you should be!" Wesley yelled.I stared at him.Ryk— The beast.I walked closer to him, ignoring the protests of Wesley and Marissa.The beast looked scared, as if it knew what I wanted to do and was begging not to. But I knew Ryker would want this. I tuned out everybody. It's just me and Ry- the beast now.My ins

ZORA "You need to listen to Marissa." Ivan piped in."Now is not a good time." I snapped back."You have to kill me, Zora, or get the hell out of here!" Ryker rasped out."Stop talking," I snapped, took out a pocket knife from the training ground stash, and entered the circle with him.To kill him, my blood on a knife along with a burst of my power was enough, but to heal him, it was much more complicated but still involved my blood."Twenty seconds left." Marissa announced. I made a cut in my palm and on his chest, then infused our blood together, more like making sure my blood entered his bloodstream. My eyes were a hue of different colors aside from red. My tattoo glowed radiantly, I could feel my power, the energy coursing through every part of my body.I have to do this, I need to do this!The silver threads surrounded him, waiting. I began chanting."Aelunthra, lumen matris. Sana corpus, sana animam. Redde vitae filum argentum""Ten seconds left," Marissa announced.A sense

"What, Lucas? Are you insane?" The mother yelled."Relax, mother," Lucas cajoled, "Have you seen him? He's an Alpha king with an ego the size of an ocean. He's not going to b-"Everyone stopped in a stunned silence.You could hear a pin drop without even trying hard to listen.Ryker was on his knees. "Please.." He said in a low voice, "Let her go. Do whatever you want with me, but let her go."Lucas cackled, "Who would have thought?! I never imagined a day like this would come. Okay, mum, I take back my words.""The council were right," Scarlett muttered, "She really is your weakness.""She's going to die regardless," Lucas shrugged, "What I can as a merciful being is kill you first."Lucas’s brother charged towards Ryker, holding a dagger.Scarlett had twim daggers out, and I was still trapped in between Lucas, a bit weak.I didn’t know if I could get my silver threads to move. Time seemed to stop.Scarlett and Lucas are both charging towards Ryker in a bid to have the first kill.

KYRA I froze on the spot, my hand hovering over the hard backed book I had almost touched. My breath caught in my throat as I tried to find words, anything to explain why I had been in his room. Why I was currently going through his things—searching frantically without his permission. "I... " I began to say, but a second footstep echoed through the hall. There were two people behind me now. "I was searching for you. I have news on the activities of the academy." The second voice said, one I had recognized almost immediately. Davis, the Alpha's Gamma. I whipped my gaze to my back, the door was still closed and I had been paranoid for nothing, the alpha and his Gamma were not in the room, and they had not seen me. Yet. My legs swung to action, my eyes searching frantically through the room for anything I could do, where I could hide. Zyran and Davis were definitely in the corridor, and it was a matter of seconds before they would come into his office. The wardrobe looks big enou

KYRA "Kyra?" Nicole called.I could hear her, but her voice sounded so distant, like she was really far away."Kyra!" She called more firmly, snapping her fingers in front of me."Does that mean we are families?"She scoffed, "Definitely not. We are not family. I know everyone in my ancestral line and trust me, you aren't anywhere on the list,""Then how do you explain us? You said it yourself that you only work with family members.""You are not one, trust me," she said more firmly."Well..." I shrugged, not sure what to say next."I've been doing my research since I found out and there's nothing, absolutely nothing that links us together,"I shrugged, "Well, then. We have our answer.""Are you not curious?""I am," I answered, and paused, my eyes widening as an idea popped in my head, "Zyran's office has a lot of books, history and really old books. I can go in there, the guards don't stop me anymore. I'll check if there's anything that can explain our situation to us."Nicole sna

KYRA"What now?" Nicole frowned at me when I entered the room all sweaty and breathing heavily.I plopped down on my bed and ignored her, she doesn't get to do that with me. "Are you okay? Is something wrong?"I turned my back to her."Are we ignoring each other now?"I whipped around to face her angrily, "Oh. So now, you've decided to be all chatty?"She scoffed and walked towards the closet."No," I snapped, "You don't get to pull that shit with me. You suddenly stop talking to me and just come back like we've been chatting and being good friends,""Are you okay? Are you hurting anywhere I don't know?" She asked instead."Yes. Sure my heart, not like it matters to me when we were supposed to be best friends. I really wish Susan had not been the one eliminated, I wish it were you, because if she were here, she wouldn't treat me like shit."Nicole laughed, not the expression I was supposed to get from her.Nothing was funny, so why was she laughing??"Really? Do you mean that?""You

KYRAZyran's words stopped me in my tracks, my heart racing at the accusation in his voice. "The selection." I rasped out, "I need to attend the second phase of the selection, it starts in five minutes." His lips thinned into a line. But he said nothing as I turned around, disappearing into the woods surrounding the palace. Unlike the last time I had attended the selection, this time was more intense. Each step I took into the woods and towards the location I knew by heart—sent my chest racing with so much intensity I could crack. This was important to me, it was compulsory that I had to learn equity and things that would make the Alpha King choose me, if he didn't, I was doomed.I swallowed a heavy lump in my throat as I shoved past a stick of wood, the rainwater retained in its leaf splashed over my skin and I shivered. The sound of music and chattering of people filled my ears as I got closer, reminding myself over and over again just how important this was to me. "Kyra! Oh m

NICOLE "Davis is fine,"Astrid beamed beside, her legs swing from the rooftop."Yeah," I murmured, "I heard,"She frowned at me, "What's wrong? Is it the girl again? Is she giving you issues?"I did say anything, except swing my legs in rhythm with here"I knew it, I knew she was going to be a problem, yet Zyran kept insisting on having her around and having you both share a room,""It was just to keep an eye on her," I shrugged, "Besides, she's his mate and I'll do anything for him.""Whoa," Astrid looked pretty much shocked, "He even told you that?"I gave her a cheeky smile."So what's wrong, is she threatening you concerning your powers?""What will you do then, kill her? Threaten her?""It worked with that other girl. Goddess bless her soul, she's dead now and I have no one to worry about except Kyra,""She's not going to be a problem," I assured Astrid "Until she is. Why do you keep helping her?""It's complicated," I whispered, "I can't explain it,"She rolled her eyes, sighed

KYRA I didI tried to,Four days later and there was no progress in Davis and if he stayed there three more days, not even the special omega's blood might be enough to save him.So I slipped into the room where the omegas were usually asked to wait. It was empty, not quite what I was expecting. Then I dropped the vial containing my blood on the table where it was easy to stumble upon and scrambled out.I'd barely gotten out when another guard entered and came out with the vial and a frown on his face.I looked around, about to leave the premises when my eyes caught sight of someone at the other side, staring at me.Time seemed to stand still, and all we did was just stare at each other.I don't know how long we stood there staring at each other, but moments later, a scream came from somewhere in the palace followed by an announcement that Davis was back in his human form but unconscious.I sighed in relief, it worked.I indeed have some sort of healing qualities."It was you, wasn't
