Valerie and I made our way downstairs and I saw the guy and lady that were with Val when we were captured again.“Why on earth is she roaming round the pack house?” The guy asked.“And why in the world isn’t she in a cell?” The other lady asked.“Will you both calm down? Caden was the one who took her away from the cell. He will explain when he comes back” Valerie said.“That doesn’t mean she gets to roam around the pack house where kids are” The lady said.“And may I ask why?” I said and she glare at me.“Because rogues are vicious and crazy mutts who ought to be killed” She said and I frowned.“I haven’t done anything wrong” I said while Val leads me to the kitchen.“You might have not done anything here but you certainly did something hence the reason why you got banished from your pack” She said while following us into the kitchen.“Don’t mind their manners. That is Amelia and Keith. They are actually fun to be with but they detest rogues” Valerie said.“Duly noted” I said and Amelia scoff.What is her problem with me?.“Can I meet the kids?” I asked but when she was about replying me a woman walk in.“Good afternoon Luna” Valerie said.Caden is mated to an old beautiful woman?That little piece of shit…Why does he want to here when he is already mating with another woman?“And who might this be?” The woman asked.“C-Ca-Caden’s ehmmm” Valerie starts to stutter as she try to find a proper way to address me while me on the other hand is trying hard not to laugh.“I think I know what you are trying to say. She is his mate isn’t she?” The woman said and Valerie nodded.“She is his mate?!” Amelia asked or perhaps yelled out.“Well it is nice to meet you. Am Wendy Walters, Caden’s Mom” She said.SHITWrong of me to assume she was his arranged mate.“Nice to meet you ma’am. Am Riley Sanders” I said and she smiled.“Well I hope you don’t mind if I take you round the pack?” She asked.“I don’t mind.” I said and she smile.“If Caden asks, she is safe with me” She said to Val who in return nodded before we eventually take our leave.“How did you and Caden meet?” She asked as we get out of the house.Am I suppose to tell her that I was locked up and he came over and met me in a cell?……“I didn’t know that I had trespass into the pack” I said and she seem to get the memo of the rest.“My son and his friends can be quite impatient and provided their experience with rogues, I will say I understand why they did that but I would like to apologize on their behalf” She said.“It is nothing ma’am, Other than the previous misunderstanding am enjoying my stay here” I said.“That’s nice to hear”“But I would like to ask you something”“And what might that be?”“I never knew a person can have a second mate, I am quite overwhelmed about it so I would love to hear your opinion about it” I said.She is much older so she ought to have an idea about the situation at hand.“Well, I have only met a second chance mates once, the lady had been abused and her first mate had rejected when he found out, luckily for her the Moon Goddess provided her with a second mate. It is very rare to see such cases but the bond between such mates is more intimate and special than normal mates” She explained and I sighed.“I guess this means am stuck here” I said and she smiled.“The pack isn’t a bad place, it is full of loving and harmonious people. Give both Caden and his people a chance and you will not regret it” She said and I replied with an okay.“We better head in. Val said he is already making a fuss” She said referring to the mind link and I nodded.“Mom, you can’t just take her out of the house” Caden said once we enter the house.“And is she supposed to be confined here?” She said and he sighed.“You better not make any mistakes or else you will be in a whole lot of trouble” She said before heading upstairs.“I thought I told you to stay put” He said once she had left.“And do I look like someone who is ready to follow your orders?” I said.“I have……“Can I please go see the kids before you start any of this nonsense” I said and cutting him off and he growled.“Whose kids are those by the way?” He asked.“Mine” I said while biting back a smile.This will teach him not to annoy me.“You better be joking” He said.“Do I look like am joking? And might I remind you that you aren’t my first mate” I said and he growls even more loudly but I ignore him and went upstairs bumping into Valerie“Why is Caden growling?” She asked.“A punishment” I simply put and she chuckled.“Where are the kids?” I asked.“Third room by your left” She said and I thank her before making my way there.I open the door to the directed room and meet them trying to calm Daniella down from crying.“Riley, where have you been?”Reuben asked while hugging me.“I had to talk with the Alpha here” I said while carrying Ella and trying to rock her to sleep.“I have tried that but it isn’t working” Reuben said.“Maybe she is hungry” Josh supplied.“How about we go downstairs? I bet you both are hungry as well” I said and they both nodded.********RILEY**********We all went downstairs and met Caden and his friends chatting in the living room.“Do you need anything?” Valerie asked while making her way over to where I was.“Do you think I can get baby food anywhere?” I asked while trying to make Ella stop her cries but it really isn’t working.“The only thing you can find is milk but Caden’s younger sister has a baby so you can get baby food from her” She said.“And where can I find her?” I asked.“She is not staying in the pack house” Keith said as he makes his way over to where we are standing and I groaned.“But I can take you to where you can shop for that” He said and Caden growl.What is his problem?.“Or perhaps Caden can take you there” He said with a nervous laugh.“Couldn’t you have offered like a normal human being?” I asked.“I will back in a second” He said before going upstairs.“I want to go with you” Josh said while holding on to my jeans.“How about you stay with Reuben and Val. I will be quick” I said a
********RILEY*******I was beyond scared for two reasons.One, I have never trained before.Two, Amelia hates me.“Think of your partner as your enemy on battle field, the goal is to make sure your partner ends up on the ground. You may rough them up a little but make sure to be careful.” Keith said.What sort of training is this?Rough your partner up.Yeah right.More like Amelia is going to kill me.“Begin” Before Keith could finish his statement, I felt a punch on my face.That hurtsssss.“Ohhh, am sorry, did that hurt?” She said in a mocking manner.“Yeah right” I said annoyed at the fact that she is launching her anger at me.“If you can’t fight then am sure you aren’t cut out to be Luna” She said before throwing the second punch which I narrowly evaded.More punches swam in and the more the punches, the more she was enjoying my pain.I couldn’t bear it anymore.“Fucking stop” I yelled drawing a little bit of attention to us“Ohh is the little missy scared that her face is
********CADEN********Getting to know Riley and the kids was kind of fun but as much as it was fun, the pack were asking about who she is and how she is related to me.I wasn’t scared of their reaction when they find out she is mate, I was scared of the series of competition that was going to follow.If someone who is a rogue, a vampire or human turns out to be an Alpha’s mate, it was mandatory for the pack members to come out if interested to fight the position of Luna because many believes such a person isn’t capable of leading a pack.“Can I come in?” Mom said as she pecks through door.“Yes, you can” I said and she smiled before walking in and take a seat in front of me.“You hate entering my office, is anything the matter?” I asked knowing how much she detest coming here ever since Dad died.“Well, I wanted to talk to you about something and it can’t wait”.“What is it?”“It is about Riley and the pack. People are asking questions, even though I have an idea why you are doing thi
********RILEY********* I woke up to a knock on the door, why does everyone likes to disturb my sleep?.It is annoying.I stood up and walk lazily to the door only to be greeted by Amelia.“Rise and shine, sleeping beauty” She said with a big smile on her face.“Why are you so happy early in the morning?” I asked.“Training starts today” She said and I groaned.“Why do I feel like am about to start the suffering of my entire life” I said and she chuckles.“Nah, am past over that” She said.“Go and dress up” She said and I head over to the bathroom to freshen up.We go over to the pack grounds for training since Amelia said no one is going to disturb us.“Rule number one, the person you are fighting with isn’t your friend but your enemy” She said and I nodded.“The most important is to be in align with your wolf, she will be able to quickly detect whenever punches is coming in. You should also make sure you study your partner’s movements and be able to quickly detect his or her weaknes
********RILEY*********I woke up early today and had training before going over to take care of Ella and Josh.“Riley, I need clothes” Josh said and I nodded.He was right.Caden had given us some clothes he borrowed from someone but we couldn’t keep using it plus, the clothes does not fit.“How about I ask Val for shopping and we can go?” I said and he nodded.“Hey, I was about looking for you” Val said once I get out of the room.“Is everything alright?” I asked.“I thought you guys might need some clothes and decided it was high time we go out for shopping” She said.“I was about to ask you the same thing” I said and she smiles.“Amelia is joining us so let me inform her” She said.“But I don’t know who will help me babysit Ella” I said.“I will ask Caden’s Mom if she can help, am sure she will love to” She said and I nodded.“I will dress up and meet you downstairs” I said before heading back in.I quickly freshen up and dress up before dressing Josh up and headed downstairs with
*******CADEN*********I decided to ask Riley out for a date today but I couldn’t believe how hard it could be. I had to enlist for Keith’s help but he wasn’t helping matters.“What are you two doing?” Val asked as she take a seat beside me.“Trying to get Caden to ask Riley out” He said and she smile.“Took you long enough” She said.“The problem is how do I go about it?” I said.“Just man up and ask her out, it shouldn’t be that difficult right?” She said and I groaned.“That’s exactly what I have been telling him”Keith said.“Yeah right, cause it is that easy”I said sarcastically.“Oh come on, you’ve date numerous amount of women, it shouldn’t be hard to ask her out”Val said before biting into an apple.“But those numerous people aren’t my mate”I said.“Just ask the lady out” Keith said.“And please tell me you have a good place in mind” Val asked.“I was thinking about this new restaurant in town and maybe we could go out for a movie or something” I said and she nods.“Now go and t
********CADEN*********Riley and I had fun before we decided to finally head back home.“I enjoyed every bit of today” I said once we got into the pack.“I also enjoyed today.Thank you” She said.“Maybe we can do this again next week when am less busy?” I ask in an hopeful tone.“Of course” She said as I opened the door for her only to be faced with Tracy.Can’t one day in my life go smoothly???…Does it have to get any worse than it already is?“Caden. I have missed you” She said as she hugs me.“When did you get here?” I ask. She wasn’t meant to be back until around next month.“The council members had a meeting and decided that I should be released early” She explained.“If she touches a single hair out of that of my mate, I won’t hesitate to kill and shed her into pieces” Liam said.“Point taken” I told him.“Forgive my manners. Tracy meet my mate Riley. Riley, this is one of my childhood friends Tracy” I said introducing the two to one another.“It is nice to meet you”Riley sai
********CADEN********It was a soft press to her lips but it causes everything to explode inside of me. Holding steady, we breathe together, our bodies trembling in equal measure.I press a little harder, the kiss still a sweet and gentle thing assuring her that I was going to protect her with my whole life.I treasure every minute of the kiss.“Why do you two look like you’ve just been caught having sex”Amelia said when everyone was sited in the living room.“Do you have to make them more red than they already are?” Keith said.“And will you both stop teasing them already?”Mom said and I mentally thank her.“I was thinking about joining the pack warriors again” Tracy said once everyone has quiet down.“Am absolutely sure we don’t need someone like you on our team” Amelia said.“And what do I have to do to assure you that I have changed” Tracy asked.“For one getting away from me and two, you don’t have the right to be near us” Amelia said.“I didn’t mean for what happened to happen,
