“Okay,” I replied to him then walked past him to the laundry room. I dumped the clothes into the laundry basket before walking back to him. “I will go and find my dad.” I walked out of the room, past the kitchen to the back door. “Dad?” I called out but no one replied. I walked out and there was no one else in the backyard. No sign of my dad or his wolf. “Dad? Where are you?” I walked down the steps and looked around but as far as I could see, he was not there.
“He
“As in your best friend and not your scrawny boyfriend,” said Ryker, as if he was trying to list down the men in my life and remember their names and roles. I would have laughed if I had not just experienced a mental breakdown. “Ex-boyfriend. I broke up with Brett at your wedding, remember?” I corrected, s
The red wolf continued to stare at us with its piercing eyes, watching our every move and seemingly ready to attach at any given moment. I had zero doubt that if we walked out of the car, it would jump on us. I was probably dead meat while Ryker could put up a fight. It was probably another reason why Ryker said “Stay inside” before he got out of the car like a brave soldier. I heard him say to the red wolf, “Technically I have not crossed your border, this is a neutral territory so I suggest you get back inside and simply find Eros Adler. I will be out of your way once my mate gets to talk to Eros. Plus no one wants to issue a pack war because you know that is what will happen if any of u
This happened before, I knew this feeling. The feeling of thinking that this must have been the worst thing I have heard and then being proven wrong when I found out something even more awful. I had initially thought that my dad killing my mom was the worst thing that I have ever heard and now my best friend told me that I had been there when it had happened. That I was there witnessing everything and not doing anything. “Look, it was not your fault, Xy, if that’s what you are thinking.” His hand reached for mine and he held it. “You were only seven or eight years old. Even if you wanted to help, you could not possibly do it, at least you would not capable of stopping your dad. Not when he was in his wolf form.” “I was there and I did not help,” I said quietly to myself even though I knew Eros was right, that I would not have been able to help anyway but still, it did not make me feel any better. “You can’t blame yourself, Xy.” He squeezed my h
“First of all, why would anyone here want to harm me?” I asked, not finding his solution appealing at all. “You said that your Alpha asked you to keep an eye on me to make sure that I am still alive. People who want me to stay alive can’t want me dead, Eros, unless they’re either bipolar or a bunch of indecisive people who need to grow up.” I caught something in his eye and instan
Eros POV I watched that dickhead open the door for her before settling in behind the wheels. I was not sure whether this has been the stupidest idea I have ever made or if I was being really smart. “What’s your deal?” asked Sebastian inside my head once the car has driven away. I turn
Xyrra POV “I was kidding,” I told Ryker as I started to feel uncomfortable with the surprised look on his face. That amount of shock soon morphed into anger and annoyance. “That is not something to be joked about,” he said in return, sounding royally pissed. “Being a Luna is not a joke.”
Before I even opened my mouth or said anything, Ryker growled at her, “Alana, what do you think you are doing here?” “What are you talking about?” She let out a small giggle. “I live here.” Alana ruffled her gorgeous hair, smiling at him. “Lived,” corrected Ryker. “As in past tense. You don’t live here anymore, Alana.” “Oh, and you think it is so easy for you to get me out of the pack
“No need to panic. It is Ryker,” said Dmitry. “He merely followed your scent.” “Is that how you found me?” I asked Dmitry curiously. I wondered if my scent was truly that significant or different that they would be able to track me down no matter where I went. “No.” Dmitry let out a deep chuckle. “I just happen to know where people go when they wish to be alone.” “Xyrra,” called Ryker and I automatically turne
