She shakes her head with a heavy sigh. “He can find me through our connection.”“He won’t.” I motion to her midsection. “Can I convince you to put my shirt on? No offense, but crimson’s not your color and people were staring pretty hard in the play area. If I wasn’t there, they would have called the pack guard.”Ainsley looks down at herself and twists her mouth. “I guess.”I pull my shirt off and face her. “Arms up.”“I can put a shirt on myself, Beckett.” She huffs and throws a lock of hair over her shoulder.“Humor me, Ainsley.” I hold the shirt by the bottom hem. “Please.”She rolls her eyes and raises her arms gingerly, letting me step forward to pull the shirt over her head and down her body. I let my

Beckett’s POV“Candice, hey.” I drop my shoulders and walk towards Dario’s girlfriend who is on a swing, pumping her legs, but not in any sort of rhythm that would help the swing move back and forth.I don’t know who her bright red dress is made for, but even with her petite frame she’s squeezed into it like a sausage in a casing. She’s wearing stripper heels and oversized dark sunglasses with a sheer scarf covering her short dark hair like an old-time movie star. She sticks out in the family friendly environment, but everyone knows who she is, and no one would dare tell Dario’s girlfriend to cover up.“Whatcha doin, Becks?” She stops flailing her legs.“Just looking for a friend who wandered away.” I smile and sit on the swing next to her, facing the other direction so I can keep an eye on the pavilion. “I’m a little worried about her.”“Like when I used to wander away?” Her crystal blue eyes look worried at the thought. “Want me to help you find her?”“Wait. Are you here by yourself
Riley and The Riptide Chapter 55
Beckett’s POV“Ran away? Why would she do that?” I juggle my phone in my hands as I take off my apron and rush out of the kitchen, ignoring the dirty looks of the rest of the staff.“Please, just go find her, Beckett. She has her phone, but she’s not answering.” Alpha Lucas begs. “She wouldn’t even answer Caleb’s call, so he’s on his way into town too.”“Beta Scion Beckett. You just missed the Alpha Scion.” The valet bows to me.“Yeah, I know, Lou.” I give him a fist bump. “I have to meet up with him. I’m kinda in a hurry.”“Of course, Sir.” He puts on his glasses to look at his notebook.Lou was a warrior in his heyday. Unfortunately, spending that much time shifting in and out of wolf form takes its toll. There’s only so many times you can let your bones and joints break before they can’t do it anymore. Lou found out what that limit is. He would never recover if he tried to shift again. Poor guy. He’s as slow as frozen molasses, but he’s reliable and most importantly, he never snitc

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
Riley and The Riptide Chapter 52
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
