My apartment has never felt so silent. I pull a picture frame off of my nightstand. Three heads of blonde hair, two sets of ocean blue eyes, a pair of eyes like liquid gold, and three identical smiles beaming at the camera. The picture was taken that day exactly one month before Cameron was murdered.

I lean the photograph to my forehead, willing it to bring back memories of my mate. It’s difficult to focus with everything that happened tonight. Even his scent is just out of reach.

  • Riley and The Riptide   Chapter 54

    Ainsley’s POVI brace for impact from either the Alpha’s razor sharp claws slicing me to ribbons or being crushed like a tomato between the SUV and the guardrail. My right hand tightens on the handlebar, fighting to keep the bike straight. My left hand seems to have a mind of its own. I watch it strain to reach toward the open window instead of the handlebar.When did my fingernails turn into claws? I didn’t feel it.“Slow down at my order!” Paragon yells over the roar of the engines.“Are you controlling my hand?” I watch in awe, almost forgetting we could literally die any second.“Yes, Ainsley.” She groans as she reaches forward. “Now focus!”As Alpha Dan brings his heavy hand down toward me my hand catches him by the wrist and clamps down. Tiny crimson beads form where my claws dig into his skin.“What are you doing, you stupid little bitch?” Alpha Dan’s eyes go wide with anger and surprise. “You’re gonna get us both killed!”Alpha Dan tries to pull out of Paragon’s grip, but she’

    Ainsley’s POV“I have to do what’s best for the pack, Ainsley.” Alpha Lucas paces in front of his desk. “I don’t trust this Gavin kid or his friends to come to the Mating Gathering. There’s too much at risk.”I sit in the chair, silently twisting my fingers together. Alpha Dan is banning my friends from being on Emerald Canyon pack territory if Gavin isn’t allowed to come to the Mating Gathering? What bullshit.I know better than to go back to Rambling Hills after everything that’s happened. My friends won’t come here and risk Alpha Dan finding out they defied him. I might never see my friends again.I look at Grandpa, waiting for him to stand up for me. He’s just sitting there with one arm crossed over his body. He’s using it to rest his elbow so his hand can rub the scruff on his chin. Grandma is beside me. She’s watching Alpha Lucas, but she’s rubbing my back sympathetically. On the other side of me, Mom and Luna Eva are focused on him too.None of them seem like they’re interested

    Caleb’s POV“Cal? I got a nosebleed. Are you alright?!” Ainsley thinks to me. Her frantic tone makes my heart hurt.“I’m fine. I took an elbow to the face when Gavin was trying to fight off the guards, but he’s taken care of. Are you okay? Is your nose broken?”“I don’t think so? Nothing hurts. It’s just a lot of blood.” She pauses. “What do you mean by ‘taken care of’? You didn’t kill him did you?”She didn’t feel it. Good. I breathe a sigh of relief. I have been practicing blocking our connection for situations exactly like this.“It will be healed soon enough.” Zion says. “It’s nothing new to Paragon either. Your sister will be fine.”“He’s passed out in a dungeon cell.” I reassure her. Why does she give a shit, anyway? The world would be better off without this dickhead. “Zion’s healing me. Paragon should heal you too. Are you with Becks?”“Yeah?”“He can show you how to slow the bleeding and make sure nothing’s broken.” I lean against the sink. “Tell Mom I’ll be with Alpha Lucas

    Ainsley’s POV“Alright, you two, if anyone hands you a gift, there are four uniformed Omegas who will take it to my office. Green polos, khaki pants. They are also responsible for bringing your food and drinks to you. We don’t want to take any chances of either of you consuming anything dangerous.” Mom instructs, looking pointedly at me. “When Alpha introduces you, anyone who can mindlink is going to cheer into the link. Everyone else will cheer out loud. Brace yourself. It can be a little disorienting. Ainsley, did Lucas show you how to shut down your link?”“Yeah, before we came down.” I fight the nervous butterflies in my stomach.“Good. I showed Caleb after we spoke to Becks, so we should be all set.” Mom nods.“Is he okay?” I look between them.“He’ll be fine.” Cal takes Mom’s hand, not interested in providing any more details.“Give him space, Ains. He’ll come around.” Mom takes my hand and squeezes it. “Tonight, just have fun with your friends.”She’s right. No more bullshit. T

  • Riley and The Riptide   Chapter 50

    Ainsley’s POVThere’s a blur of activity. My friends pull me into a chair and make adjustments to my makeup with multiple hands working at once. They giggle and laugh and focus a little too intensely on keeping me distracted. I mean, my mascara and eyeliner need to be cleaned up, but that’s about it. Maybe a little more lip gloss. There’s no need for this much fuss. I look out of the corner of my eye and realize what’s happening. Keeping me in the chair is a ruse. Freya has somehow coerced Caleb and Taylor to get photos taken in front of Alpha Lucas’s fireplace… together.I suppress a squeal when I see Cal slide his arm around Taylor’s back. His hand rests dangerously close to her ass as if she couldn’t break his nose on a whim for trying to cop a feel.It seems casual on the surface, but there’s a sparkle in his ocean blue eyes. Inside, he’s kind of losing his shit about it. I can feel it. You would never know by looking at his controlled expression complete with a lazy smile. An un

  • Riley and The Riptide   Chapter 49

    Ainsley’s POVIt feels like I’m covered in plastic wrap and spiderwebs. It makes me want to tear my skin off. Frigid air fills my lungs like it’s coming out of a compressor. It spreads through my body like the first jump in a polar bear plunge. I put my hands up to cover my mouth. Anything to make the cold stop. Powerful hands grip my wrists, stopping me. I pull against them and groan.“Hey there, Sweetpea. Can you hear me? It’s Grandpa. I’m so relieved you’re back.” Grandpa’s deep voice murmurs. “You can’t take the mask off until Doctor Benton says so. I need you to take your hands away from your mouth.”Grandpa?! My heart beats like a drum. Is this real?“Go ahead and open your eyes, Ainsley,” Grandma whispers close to my ear, letting her cherry cobbler scent wash over me. “We’re right here with you. So are your mom and Caleb. Beckett and your friends are here too. You’re safe now. No more dark spaces.”Open my eyes? I try to answer her, but my teeth chatter so hard that I can’t. My
