Last time I saw Jordan was the day I was shipped out of Eclipse, and I remember the look on his face, almost like he didn’t want me to go, but I know better. He was one of the major reasons I left Eclipse pack. Yes, I lived a hard life there, but his rejection was enough to make me take that bold step to see Alpha Simon.
Seeing him like this in this position, I knew without any reasonable doubt that I never felt anything for him. I was never drawn to him all these years until I found out he was my mate, and he was just my ticket to get away from Eclipse so I could meet my Prince.
I rushed to where he was and I was just about two steps away from him when I felt someone grab me from behind, apparently one of the warriors that escorted the prince here.
Ryder’s beast was hovering over Jordan, who seemed unconscious at the moment. He sniffed the bottle in Jordan’s hands while I tried to wriggle myself away the arms grabbing me, but again, I failed t
“Where are the others?” I snuggled closer to him on our ride back to the werewolf palace. I was exhausted, but excited at the same time. I can’t get over the fact that I have a wolf now and she is the prettiest thing ever. I have burned so much energy from my first shift and I just want to close my eyes and sleep, but I was still so worried for Layla.“They left,” he says shortly.“I dragged Layla into this and she only wanted to help. Please do not punish her. If you must punish anybody then it should be me,” I say faintly, but he doesn’t respond. Instead, he sniffs my hair and exhales softly.“What did Susan say to you?” He asked, a flash of anger in his voice.Oh, that tramp. I had almost forgotten about her. I frowned and sat upright as I remembered her mean words that led me here in the first place. I bit my lower lip and looked out the window. Now he was staring at me with one brow raised.
Nothing prepared me for the electric currents passing through every corner of my body as our kiss intensified, or for the wild need that shook my whole being. Ryder has kissed me before, but right now it was different, and I can guess why. The presence of my wolf made everything I felt for him even more intense. My whole body was alive and I wanted more, so much more that it scared me how much my body was on fire with need for him. I could literally feel the whole room spinning, and my body getting hotter and hotter with each passing second, my female hormones more alive than they have ever been. It was sweet and scary at the same time. I wrapped my only free arm around his neck and pulled him on top of me on the bed, unable to stop my hard breathing, and not oblivious to his own massive bulge poking me between my thighs. I craved for more, so much more and I feared that I would never get enough, but he matched my need with an urgency of his. My legs wrapped
*RYDER’S POV*I have to make my trip to Eclipse pack tomorrow morning, it’s about time. I’m in Louis’s part of the castle, going over our recent findings, although my mind is not fully into all of this. I would rather be with my mate right now, taking her in the many ways that I have dreamed of, but that could wait. We had our whole lives together. I must get justice for her first.Louis picked up a new lead on the case we have been working on for months now, and it came to our notice after the stupid son of Simeon Walker tried to murder me using witchcraft. A scowl crossed my face as the thought crossed my mind. I could have killed him on the spot if my sweet mate was not there to stop me, and I decided he would not die so easily. He would be locked in our prisons for the rest of his life with constant torture. He has to die a slow and painful death, and I would personally make sure he remains unr
TIANA’S POV As soon as I opened my eyes, I glanced sharply at the wall clock and gasped when I saw it was mid-day already. I have been sleeping for over ten hours. I dragged the bedsheet over my naked body and sat upright as memories of the night before came flooding back. Jerk. He obviously hasn’t returned, and I don’t want to face him yet. I was still cuffed to the fucking bed, I groaned as I realized that. How was I going to take my bath or do anything with my hands tied to the fucking bed? Fuck Ryder. I was lost in thoughts of the events of the last days when a knock on the door pulled me out of my reverie. I pulled the bedsheets higher over my chest. “Come in,” I say dryly. My face brightened when I noticed it was Sadie and Nora, accompanied by my dear friend, Layla. Layla rushed to hug me before Nora and Sadie took turns doing the same. I have been in the werewolf palace with Sadie and Nora all th
RYDER’S POVI took an instant dislike to the environment in general as soon as we approached. The western wolves had been informed of my arrival today, and their little charade and show of welcome did not please me in the least. Louis believed I was letting sentiment cloud my judgement but one stern look at him was enough to let him know I was in no mood for whatever he had to say.Louis’s anger towards Eclipse pack was that their future alpha tried to murder me, and that one of the killers was traced to the pack, meaning they knew more about the killings than they cared to admit.It has been many decades since a royal of my class visited the Western wolves, talk more of a pack like Eclipse pack. Louis had been within the western wolves briefly for a short period of time, but having the first prince here was a big deal seeing I am not allowed to attend missions like this except it was highly necessary,
TIANA’S POV The girls had to leave to attend to other things while Layla stayed back with me. If not anything, I was grateful that Layla did not get punished and she was here with me at this time. Ryder is being unreasonable. How long would I be handcuffed here? It’s so unfair that I am chained to his bed while he goes around freely. I have learnt my lesson already and keeping me here was just double punishment. I’d tried to talk to Adrian to see if I could avoid not being handcuffed again, but that was impossible. He would do any other thing than go against the order of the alpha prince. “I wish I didn’t have to go back to Eclipse pack,” Layla says dryly and I chuckled softly. “Why? You don’t miss your family?” I asked her. She shrugged “I do, but I like being here, not just because my best friend is here and is about to be the luna queen, but because I actually like it here….” she laughs and p
RYDER’S POV If I must leave here to be with my mate as soon as possible, then I must waste no time swinging into action and gathering as much facts as I can about this hell hole of a pack. I had to dig into many of their pack work, and I could see Beta Leo was right when he said the present alpha was unprofessional in handling the affairs of the pack. Mismanaged funds, a lot of revenue that the alpha could not give account for at this time, as well as many lapses in their accounting. I presume this was the handiwork of Jordan. I scoffed. I wasn’t here to look into any of their personal matter, but good for me, I have more reason to close down this pack for good and make them slaves to other neighboring packs. Simeon may have made clumsy efforts to hide all these lapses, but I could easily spot them. I also learnt a few things by interrogating some elders of the pack and searching the pack history. Their beta, L
I could feel someone desperately trying to reach me through the mind link so I gave them access. There is a limit to which the mind link travels but as the alpha prince, my mind link could travel ten times farther than a normal werewolf would.“Ryder, there has been an attack on our guys guarding the scene where the luna was found dead days ago,” Louis informs me through mind link.I cursed “Where are you Louis? And what is the situation like?” I asked him.“I am headed there right now, there was a breech in our communication. I will let you know how things turn out when I get there. It’s probably better you stay back…” “I’m coming. In the mean time, get as many warriors as you can within the western wolves. Leave Eclipse warriors out of it. I’m still unsure as to how many of them we can trust. This is majorly their handiwork,” I instruct, cutting
