Marked By Obsession

RIVER

How do you feel when someone you love deeply chooses his best friend over you?

How worse can it be for me? Now, I am almost losing my sanity but everything changes when I find myself in an unknown room and my heart dies in my chest when I see my ex's favourite biker

— the one he has always been obsessed with, in between my legs and a dark glint on his lips.

A big smile crawls up my face when Ryker's message pops up on my phone's screen.

: Riv, baby. Come over to Cresent bar. I'm throwing a party to celebrate our engagement :

I'll be there, honey. I reply him and toss the book I have been reading aside. Reading can wait, my fiancé needs me now.

It's so thoughtful of him to think of something like that. I have been wondering if he wasn't going to celebrate putting a ring on my finger but finally, he has figured that out.

Ryker and I have been dating since I was 14 and even though he is such a controlling boyfriend, I still loved him.

I'll forever do. He's my mate and I'm marked by him.

I have promised myself a better future with him and that, I'm going to stick to.

I strip naked and stand in front of the vanity mirror, scooping my small boobs in my palms.

I stare down at the little oranges on my chest and I can still feel the pain from Ryker's bites and merciless sucks from yesterday.

My nipples are red and bruised and this makes me wonder if he truly loves how small I'm shaped.

Ryker has always been obsessed with curvy and bursty ladies and he has a stockpile of pictures which I don't know where he got them from.

We almost broke up when I asked about it and I did a lot of crying and begging before he stopped avoiding me.

I've left him to keep as many pictures as he wants. I have taken that as a punishment for being too flat and not up to his standard.

After all he loves me, so what's there to worry about. He wouldn't cheat on me with those girls, I am sure of that.

Ryker is committed and faithful. He's really a gem and I admire him for that.

I let out a sigh and pick a blue floral dress from my wardrobe. I don't have so many but this one was gifted to me by Ryker on my 19th birthday.

Ever since then, I haven't gotten a single gift from him. He says he'd only do if I impressed him and be a better girlfriend.

His words really hurt and I don't seem to get what he meant because I've dedicated 8 years of my life to him.

Ryker feels I haven't helped him enough to fulfill his dream of getting into the Sexy Groove Biker's Club {SGBC}.

I became a fan of the club because Ryker wants me to. He's obsessed with every memeber of the club but he's more crazier over Orion , the star of the Biker's club.

Orion  is popular, sexy and famous among girls which makes the public tag him as The International Playboy because he does nothing but chase after everything in skirt.

The newbie registration has been going on for months now and Ryker has been so nervous since he put up for the registration but he doesn't see the hope of getting nominated and I take every blame for it.

If only I had been more influential and helped him, maybe he would have a positive view.

I let out a deep sigh and pick up my purse before admiring myself in the mirror once again.

Just the way Ryker likes it; no much make-up. Simple and classy, not drawing too much attention.

I dash out of the room and I cuss out immediately I get to the living room.

There is my best friend, Blue, seated on the couch, her legs spread out and there is Lucas, her boyfriend and mate, eating her pussy.

"Shit!" I bite my lips and throw a blanket over them before running out.

Sometimes, I get jealous of Blue. She's just so lucky.

She has a guy who loves her not for who she is but unconditionally.

Lucas is just so sweet and treats her like a queen unlike Ryker who blames me for every of his misfortune.

Maybe I can change him and maybe one day things will change with the kinda crooked relationship we share.

I flag down a cab which drives me to the venue where Ryker has named.

I walk into the VIP room he hears reserved and a frown settles on my face when I see a lady grind her ass over his dick.

That's his best friend, Zoey. I've never had a problem with him hanging out with her but does she have to be this clingy with him today?

Ryker looks up and our gazes lock. I expect to see a remorseful look on his face but he doesn't look the least guilty.

He doesn't let go of her waist and I ball my fists in anger and try not to act jealous but deep down in me, I am burning.

The music comes to a stop and he walks up to me. There isn't a smile on his face and this makes my stomach churn.

Did he notice the jealousy in my eyes?

"B...babe." I call, my fingers fidgeting.

Why does he look so cold?

"Welcome, River." He sounds rigid, his hazel eyes void of any emotions. "There are a lot of things you have to hear and I'm going to say it now while everyone's present."

Zoey walks up to him and wraps her arms around him.

I clench my fist into a ball, anger building up within me.

Why is she so shameless and why's Ryker not stopping her?

Her eyes are fixed on mine, glistening with contempt and when she kisses Ryker on the lips, I lose my cool and try to yank her her hands off but Ryker grabs my arm roughly and yanks me away.

I gasp, holding the pole as I struggle to keep myself in balance.

Laughter erupts in the room and when I look at his friends, they flash mocking looks at me that makes me wonder if I've entered the wrong room.

"River."

My ear arches when Ryker call my name and he smirks when my eyes lock on his.

"I, Ryker Wilder rejects you River Moonstorm as my mate" He blurts out, his voice harsh, "I want to break the stupid bond between us and after that I don't want you to show up in my face anymore."
