Riley and The Riptide Chapter 69
Ainsley's POV“DEANDRA!” Paragon screams. She urges me to stand on the board and wave my arms. “It’s me! It’s Paragon!”The woman points and says something to Elysium. He lowers his head and lets a deep growl create ripples in the water. Kayla braces herself on the paddleboard and makes a small, scared noise. I turn my attention to see what she’s looking at. Zion and Rowdy are sprinting toward us on the shoreline. “Ainsley, get down!” Zion growls in my mind.I look back at Deandra. She reaches behind her back, pulls out a loaded crossbow, and aims it at me. The only way to describe the look in her eyes is hatred. There’s no lufu for Paragon. There’s no compassion for teenage girls caught in the middle of a lake. Just anger.“Oh my Goddess.” My blood runs cold at the revelation. My hands stop waving and hold still in surrender. “Paragon, sh-she’s trying to kill us!”“No!” Paragon cries. “How can this be?!”“Ainsley, watch out!” Kayla throws herself at me.We hit the water hard, breakin
Riley and The Riptide Chapter 68
Ainsley’s POVI wake up in my bed, but the details on how I got there are kinda hazy. I’m still naked. Huh? I wonder what happened to my robe? Maybe Beckett-“Oh, shit.” I snatch the sheets around myself and sit up.Beckett isn’t in bed. Thank the Goddess. I breathe a sigh of relief, but it makes my head pound. I press against my temples and groan. It’s not a hangover. It’s… everything. The soft light of the sun peeking through the curtains is like a floodlight, the sound of the music playing from my bluetooth speaker might as well be a police siren, the overwhelming smell of food makes me gag, and water rushing down the hall might actually be a raging river.“Ohhhh, shit.” I fall back, trying to block it all out.“Oh, you’re awake. Sorry,” Paragon yawns. “Let me fix that.”It’s as if someone turned an imaginary dial down on all my senses. My surroundings are still crisp on the edges, but it’s tolerable now.“You were sleeping, and I was sleepy, so I put my instincts on high alert.” P
Riley and The Riptide Chapter 67
Caleb's POVI catch Ainsley’s attention and instantly feel relieved. “You should be up here with me, Ains. Paragon and Zion are equally important.”“You’re Alpha, Cal. Enjoy the spotlight.” She thinks back.“I’ll catch up with Zion for the pack run.” Paragon chimes in.He insists they were never mates, but when Zion hears Paragon, he instantly calms down. They have a close connection. Lufu. That’s what he calls it.Between him, his twin brother, and the Deandra chick he keeps going on and on about… well, it sounds like she’s the brains of the operation. She keeps him and Elysium in line. They never had mates, only ever what he calls ‘hetaira’. I had to look it up. It basically means a smart girlfriend. Paragon has had suitors, but never a relationship that has lasted more than a couple centuries.Yeah. Centuries. I thought that was crazy, too. He hasn’t had time to explain.I’ve thought about it a lot. He’s never had a mate. He says I won’t have one either. I’ll be alone forever. Ther

Ainsley’s POV“You can’t wear THAT.” Charlotte folds her arms over herself. “What if this is the first time you meet your mate?”“I told you earlier, I don’t have a mate. Shorts and a tank top should be fine. Would you rather I wear trainers instead of flip-flops?” I grab my mascara and open it with a little popping sound. “I’m putting on mascara in case anyone actually gives a shit, but no one is going to be looking at me or Paragon. They want to see Zion and be the first to clap for him.”“Let me at least braid your hair,” Kayla offers.“Where’s your makeup bag? You’re not leaving this room without blush and lip gloss.” Charlotte shakes her fingers through her new wolf cut. “Not over my dead body, anyway.”“Wow. This is a side of you I’ve never seen, Charlotte.” I chuckle. “Yellow bag on the vanity. Kayla, if braiding my hair will make you feel better, then fine. You can braid my hair.”“Thank you.” She sits me in a chair and stands behind me, brushing out my hair. “Are you nervous

Kayla’s POV“Maybe if I paint my nails?” Charlotte’s cheeks and nose are cherry red from crying, and her hair is like a rat’s nest. “Like, maybe if I get a manicure it would help him think I’m taking care of myself?”“A fresh set is always a nice way to give yourself a little pick me up. Maybe I can do it for you here instead of asking to go to the nail salon?” I give her a big smile. “Where do you keep your nail supplies? I’ll pick a color.”“In the linen closet in my bathroom.” She wipes her nose with her sleeve. “There’s a kit with, like, polish and remover and stuff.”“Okay. You stay here. I’ll get a makeup wipe to clean up your face too.” I scrutinize her features. “You have some mascara running.”Her chin begins to tremble again. “Kayla, you’re, like, my only friend. For rea“That’s not true. Everyone else is just busy.” I slide off the bed. “Give me just a minute.”I lean against the bathroom counter as soon as I’m out of Charlotte’s sight. This is freaking exhausting. I’ve nev

Ainsley’s POV“All healed up just in time to shift tonight!” Dara squeezes my knuckles. “Any pain when I do this?”“No, ma’am.” I flex and curl my fingers.“Perfect. Officially medically cleared.” She writes a note in her folder. “You really hurt Tamila, you know. Three broken ribs. Deviated septum. A few loose teeth. She’s not used to that kind of treatment.”“She started it. Caleb was the one who ordered the fight. I had to defend myself.”“You’re part of our pack, Ains. So is Paragon. I know she isn’t used to a large pack, but you aren’t lone wolves. Your pack mates are not your enemies.”“Everyone has ulterior motives, Dara.” I twist my mouth while she flips through her folder. “Even you. Keeping me healthy helps keep your Alpha Scion healthy. Right?”“Ouch.” She gives me a tentative smile. “Don’t forget words can hurt. Sometimes more than fists.”“Sorry, no promises. I’m not taking people’s shit anymore. I won’t start anything, but I won’t take it either.”“I’m not trying to take
Riley and The Riptide Chapter 4
The theater is busy for a Friday. Everyone is excited for a superhero movie premiere. I leave the office after turning in my cash drawer and almost run directly into Gavin.“Hey, Ainsley. You know Sarah, right?” He asks.He has his arm draped over a brunette girl’s shoulder. I assume he’s trying to

***11 YEARS LATER***“Come on, Ainsley, one more set of burpees.”“Grandpa, I’m going to be late for school!” I groan, standing up from my last set of push-ups.“Well, then you should’ve woken up on time.” He scolds. “We will have to work on hand-to-hand combat when you get home. I think a little t

Ainsley’s POV“Class, we have a new student joining us for first grade this year. This is Ainsley Rogers. Let’s all give her a warm welcome.” The teacher says with a big smile.“Hello Ainsley.” Everyone says at the same time.They’re all staring at me. My cheeks feel hot and I give them a little wa

Caleb’s POV“Caleb! Hide!” Dad yells. “NOW!” He pushes the front door closed with his shoulder while guys on the other side are banging on it and yelling.“Dad, what’s going on?!” I whimper.“Caleb, just go! Protect your sister! GO NOW!” Dad roars at us.Ainsley is standing in the doorway of the k
