Their foot merely touched the ground whilst they ran harder and faster on the concrete road.. Ryley and Zander were in a belly up position. Though it was understandable for Ryley being insecure and worried about her regardless, why Zander looked as if he were standing at the death's door.
He was way faster and active than Ryley. "Hurry up Zane, run run run" They were as fast as they could be yet Ryley was a step ahead of his beta friend that he cannot stop his heart from shouting to him for increasing his pace.
They cut through the wind and ran keeping their breaths in their palms, their feet thuddingly hit the ground beneath them as they neared to the woods land.
The feelings were mixed... Ryley didn't know how to react. He has lost control over his feelings. At one hand, his mate was in danger while at the other
69The time was running from their stock like the sand in the fist. Everyone who laid their gaze on Ryley, their facial expressions drastically transformed to shocked ones. He has his own reasons and none dared to ask him. "This way, here is where I found her slipper." They were following Eric in the deep of the woodlands.There were him with Vivian armed with weapons. Ryley and Zander walked by their side with swords and there were a few soldiers following them too. Zander had in his grip one of Ryley's spare machete. Everything was happening so quickly and so much in hurry that he forgot to get any weapon for himself. In the end, it happened to be Ryley who got his spared machete hidden in the back of his car given to him.He had it secretly placed in his car for his own reasons. You never know when and where are you attacked so in such conditions you
70Vivian's point of view...It was unbelievable! Where we stopped, we stayed rooted there for almost a minute. Everyone had their gazes fixed in the front while what i desired to see at the moment was only— Ryley's face. He had some of the expressions that I have never noticed on his face.It was the pain of losing something. Although he did not lose anything but what we could see at the moment was no less than a trauma. It was the worst way of torturing someone, especially a wolf. A mate.There was Valen wrapped in a sticky web with just her head visible. Her face was not quite visible as it was covered with her hair. The sight was not only shocking but scaring. If not for me but for Ryley. He was seeing her with tear filled eyes.Even the tree was very much sca
71Third person's point of view...Looking at everyone's expression it was obvious that they have never observed such scene ever. There was dark blackness dancing in the mid air before it stopped and with a big blast. The fear of the dark was a common one.One of the reasons why people are scared of darkness is that our pupils play tricks on us. Our mind is so quizzical that it gives different things a different shape when the lights are low. However, what they were seeing was not any trick played by their mind it was fucking true."Oh man!" Zander cried when the dark fog before them cooed and turned into a shape of human.Dark, shadowy, humanoid figure looked extremely terrifying! The black flames that ignited from its shoulder, it made it look way mo
72Perhaps it was the fear of seeing my friend lose her mate!Yes, we all knew Vivian was Hazel's mate, but we never considered him important ever. She loved Ryley and Ryley loved her. Both of them were quite serious that every time we saw them we were sure they would make a good pair together.That is true moon goddess gives you a mate. However, it is also not hidden that if that mate does not suit you or you don't want them due to some reasons then you can choose a mate for yourself. But the emotions and powers will not be as effective as it could have been with your destined mate.Ryley and Hazel were aware of that and after having a good conversation about it they decided to take their relation on another level. Hazel wanted Ryley and not Vivian. Alas today, just looking at the situation I pitied my friend and Viv
73Valen's point of view...'Get up Valen, get up! Ryley is in danger, get up.''"You stupid girl, get up. This is not your fucking bedroom that you are sleeping so peacefully. Get up you crazy woman!'Something was ringing in my mind. I trembled frequently not knowing what was happening around me. Just that my eyes were tight close and distant noises of someone's whimpers and painful cries resonated in my ear drums.I wished to see who the owner of them was. Unfortunately, my lashes were so damn tightly closed that I cannot open them. On top of that the land was invariably vibrating. Was that because of earth quake? I had no idea. It increased once I difficultly proceeded my right arm from its place.
74"We are here Valen, just a little more. Stay put. Hmm." Holding Valen close near his heart Ryley walked with his shaking legs further.They were walking on the street leading them to her house. The roof was visible to them. Valen hugged him tight keeping her skull on his shoulders. She was happy. The smile of contention on her lips was worth watching. "Valen." As soon as they arrived at the fence side surrounding the front part of Ryley's house, Jason came hastening to them.Seeing her father Ryley quickly put her down carefully, he made sure she was not hurt. "Dadda!" Valen squealed hiding her face in his shoulder and burst into tears.They were being watched by his gang from the window of his room. Ryley saw how Hazel waved at him with a big smile and simply ignored her. Hazel felt bad. Even so she assumed that h
75"Sure, you want to stay alone for sometime?" Dadda asked me standing at the door of my room.Nodding with a chuckle I signalled him to leave. "Alright. Just give me a call if you need anything, take rest." He saluted at me before leaving my room.As soon as the door of my room closed shut I moved my gaze to the window. I was asleep when dadda bought me home. I don't know when did my eyes give up and I fell asleep. Otherwise, I was waiting for Ryley to appear... And do that I can talk to him.My head still hurts. I have been thinking too much about it all. After all it is necessary as I know what is approaching the both of us. "Ryley Shine... I so hate you. You are indeed a bastard!" reminiscing the moments of the afternoon I can only smile.Agreed that I was worried
76Ryley's point of view..."You are heartless Ryley Shine ... You ruined her life Ryley. If you knew that a mate is very important in a wolf's life then why did you not let Vivian woo Hazel. Wasn't she his mate?"Valen's words rang in my ears constantly. I came to the highway leading to woodland via running. Shine was getting angrier than I was.But on a serious note, I wanted to counter him. Yeah, I would love to. Didn't he bother me when I hated Valen! Then now why was he not feeling bad for Hazel.'That's because it was you who started all this. I have always told you that I feel for Valen, OUR MATE. Your anger on her was so much that you just decided to date another girl over her. So you should take the blame and get everything corrected or else y
