I stayed for a while with Dmitry, drinking and looking at the night sky. We didn’t really talk, instead, we enjoyed each other’s company in this comfortable silence. Dmitry finished most of the drink as if it was water and not Russian vodka — probably one of the strongest liquors there was, while I only took a sip here and there, mainly because I still wanted my head attached to my neck when I woke up in the morning. After a while, I decided to head back inside. “I’m gonna head back inside. Someone needs to make sure none of these punks break anything.”
Dear Gentle Readers, thank you so much for your love and support for this story!
Xyrra POVThe moment the door was closed, he pushed me up against the wall. Personal space no longer existed as his thick forearms settled on either side of my head, caging me in until I was surrounded by his brute strength and he was all
I woke up with a slight headache. I hadn’t been drinking much but the whole thing that had gone down last night was a bit much for me. If I recall correctly, Trish had dropped Davina at her house last night since she was the only one of us who was sobered enough to drive a vehicle. Although I’d insisted on the three of us sleeping in my bedroom and having a sleepover, one look at Trish and I knew she wouldn’t agree. She still had that reluctance of entering Luna's bedroom.

The woman smiled, her eyes crinkled kindly as she did so. “I’m Tiffany Summers, née Cromwell.”Since the woman was obviously too young to be Ryker’s mother, I immediately assumed she was either his sister or cousin. “Are you Ryker’s sister?”
Alpha Ryker’s POV‘Someone is jealous,’
Xyrra’s POVI felt relief once the two siblings finally stop arguing yet I couldn’t shake Tiffany’s words earlier.
The moment he let out a sigh, I knew he wouldn’t be on board with this. I could simply tell before he even voiced his reluctance. “Xy, I don’t know what to tell you. These sorceresses, these witches, we couldn’t trust them. I foolishly let myself trust her once and it cost me a lot. I hurt people that I didn’t want to hurt and —” he sighed again, “what they said about you was nothing but a lie. You are alive and that’s what matters most. I really don’t think you should meet them.”
“You are not Adelina,” said Ryker. His voice was both assertive and frightening that I had to glance at him just to make sure that it was truly him who had just spoken. “Tell me where she is and I won’t harm you.”The creature laughed menacingly. “You wouldn’t dare. We will su
Ryker was sitting behind the wheel, he hit the ignition button, then groaned in pain. I was in the middle of putting on my seatbelt and immediately turned to him. “What’s wrong?” I asked him, raking my eyes through his body wondering if he was injured. “That bloody witch,” muttered Ryker, shaking his head as he threw a scowl at the cabin a few feet away from us
