NADIA.
Although I was upset with the picture I saw in Riley's room, I couldn't be angry with him.
For starters, the female could be his sister or a relative. It just made me realize that I knew nothing about him. But then, I hadn't even been here for 24 hours yet, so I shouldn’t have expected that he would tell me everything in his life in the few hours that we spent together.
Second, if that female was Andrea, should I really be upset? Or should I be thankful that she chose another Alpha and left Riley alone, giving me a shot of having him for myself? Because I was certain that if Adrea was still here, I'd be spending my days in the cell, or worse, back with my uncle, rejected and unmarked.
So maybe I should be celebrating that Andrea isn’t around here anymore.
But if there was anything I wanted to know, it was who Andrea was and where she stood in his life right now. But then again, it would all go back to the fact tha

RILEY. I had no idea today would be so much better than it already was. I woke up with Nadia sprawled out on top of me as if she belonged there like she owned every part of me. Well, she did, she just didn’t know it yet. But soon, I wanted her to know she owned every part of me and I would do everything in my power to make her stay and be mine for eternity. I smiled despite myself as a flashback of this morning came in. I had to drag Jenny, my Gamma Female to help me with ironing her clothes. I had never, for the life of me, used this thing. My clothes were washed and pressed by an Omega female who comes in twice a week, so this thing wasn’t really part of my routine, but for some reason, I wanted to do it for her. This female was turning me into her slave without her knowing it. And then I talked with Darvin this morning and told him about Nadia. And the fucker laughed at me. It reached him that when Nadia returned to his territory days ago, she was already marked, but he had no
NADIA. Riley welcomed me into his pack with a bang, and I couldn’t get enough of it. I had no plans to mark him, but when he said I could bite him anywhere, I guessed my inner desire surfaced, and I was happy that he didn’t stop me from doing it. I didn't know if he noticed, but I wanted to stake my claim and mark my territory. But if anything, he looked happy about it. I couldn’t forget the way his eyes were twinkling as he brushed the hair off my face after I marked him and after we shared a kiss. If I based it on his expression, I would assume that my mate liked me too. And I wish I was right. We just finished buying clothes for me, and although I was insisting on buying a few pieces of each, my mate was adamant about buying more. I couldn’t keep track of all the costs, but I was hoping if the contract continued, he would not deduct them from the money I was asking from him because he bought a lot today. It was probably mor
RILEY. "Do you love her, Riley?" She asked me without looking at me, and I knew the answer right away. "I don’t," I answered coldly, not really liking this conversation at all. "Liar." She hissed at me. "I told you I don't lie." "Then tell me about her." She tilted her body in my direction, her eyebrow raised as she mocked me with her eyes. "There's nothing to tell. She's part of the past, Nadia. Let it go." "I want to know everything about her." "What's the point? She's gone." "I want to know everything about her! Don't make me say that again." "What the fuck for? I don't ask you about your past. Or anyone in your life. So can we just move on..." "Because I have nothing to tell you! I never had a man in my life! Oh, I have! I forgot! Let me tell you about him! This man saw me when I was 17 and he was forty-five years old! And he decided he wanted me as his mate! That evil man would visit me every time he could, and he would look at me like he was undressing me every single
Nadia was jealous. With Andrea. My heart jumped over my chest at the thought of my mate harboring feelings for me, but it didn’t change the fact that I was still not ready to tell her about Andrea yet. I didn’t think she would be able to accept that part of me knowing I was the same as the man she was running from. But I wanted to give it another try at winning her over. ‘Can we talk now?’ I finally sent her a mindlink when Hunter told me that he and Arrow were ready to give us back control. ‘I’m shifting back, but tell Hunter not to hurt me.’ Her voice sounded scared, and I found it adorable. My wolf might be angry with her, but he would never hurt her unless he marked her again. In an instant, Nadia shifted into her human form in front of my wolf, naked. A low rumble vibrated from Hunter’s chest, and it made Nadia move back, but before she could turn around to run, Hunter laid down on the ground once more and lowe
NADIA. I didn’t know how long I stayed wrapped up in Riley’s arms as we hugged each other under the tree. I couldn’t stop sobbing. My heart was so full of love for him, and I wanted to tell him that, but I didn’t have the courage. Not yet. But one day, I will. One step at a time. For now, it was enough that he said he wanted me here with him. Because there’s nothing in the world I want more right now than to be with him. I felt his hand brush against my hair as he pressed our bodies closer, his warmth mixing with mine and his musky scent swirling around me. I could get used to this. "Hey, stop crying… I hate it when I make you cry." His voice was so soothing and calming. Too far from the Riley I was talking to in the car earlier. "It’s not a bad cry. I’m just happy." "Yeah?" He asked as he let go of his arms around me. I slowly pulled away from him, wiping my tears with the back of my hand as I nodded my head. "Am I making you happy? I’m only good at giving shit to people…"
NADIA. "So, should we plan a Luna Ceremony soon?" Beta Dominic asked, and my heart hammered in my chest. I was so cozy wrapped up in Riley’s arm but the moment he asked it, I felt cold water being poured over me. "No! No Luna Ceremony, please." I blurted out, my brows furrowing. Not that I didn’t want to. There was nothing in the world I would rather be than claimed and owned by my Alpha, but I wanted to do it the right way. Although Riley told me he wanted me here, I wasn’t sure for how long. I wasn’t even sure if what he wanted right now was enough to make him fall in love with me. I didn’t want the Luna title if it meant giving it up someday for someone else. I didn’t think I had the heart for it. And there’s also Andrea looting in the air. His people knew Andrea was supposed to be his Luna. I didn’t want to just come and be given the title without knowing who I was. I have to let his peo
NADIA. My eyes fluttered open, and darkness overwhelmed me. My breathing hitched while my heart was thudding loudly, and it took a while before I was able to calm my senses. I was at the Silver Moon pack and not in the basement of my uncle’s house. Calm down. I closed my eyes and let Riley’s scent envelope my senses. I had his shirt on, so it was no wonder I was smelling him. After we came home, I decided to go to his room so I could rest before dinner, but I didn’t find the clothes we bought there. Maybe it was placed in my bedroom. My heart dropped because I thought we would be sharing a room now, but it looked like I was the only one who wanted that. After grabbing a shirt from his closet, I walked out of his room with a heavy heart back to my bedroom and found all the paper bags of clothes we bought. I tried to shrug off the disappointment, but I couldn’t. In the end, I let it overtake m
RILEY."Do you think it’s possible for you to fall in love with me?" Her voice was so soft, caressing my senses, but it took a few seconds before her words sank in.Hunter growled and started pacing around my head. Nadia’s words woke him up from his slumber and now, he was urging me to confess what we felt for her.I would. But I wanted to hear what she had to say.A smile slowly crept into my face as my heart continued to flutter.I had no idea how many times my heart soared and jumped out of my chest in the last two days that she was here. If this is not love, then I wondered what I should call these feelings.Nadia has awoken a part of me that I didn’t know existed."Do you love me, Nadia?" My voice came out hoarse, as I stared at her, trying to catch her gaze.Her eyes widened as her lips parted, something I noticed that she usually did when she was lost for words. And then she
