Only a few chapters left so please leave a review for this book. Thank you.
There was a moment of pure silence with nobody moving or saying anything then the next second, Ryker cursed out loud as he tried to cover my body with his. His hand quickly yanked the blanket to cover my exposed skin. “What the hell, Dimka?!” he yelled at his Beta and gave Dmitry a murdering glare. From what I’d read, male wolves were known to be incredibly possessive when it came to their mates but this was the first time I witnessed Ryker being possessive of me. I wasn’t sure I appreciated it. Possessive meant showing possession and I wasn’t a thing to be owned by him. Dmitry being the usual Dmitry, with his expression remaining flat and emotionless, simply shrugged his shoulders and said, “You leave the door wide open. If you want some privacy, you should close it.” Ryker narrowed his eyes, still every bit annoyed, and didn’t appreciate his Beta pointing out about the opened door. “Well, if you get the gist of it at one glance, you should have the decency of closing the door and
“Yes, you got it right. So why don’t you tell us what the dream was really about? Was it something that already happened?” asked Ryker. It was odd seeing him like this because I knew from the way he looked at Adelina that he truly believed that she was lying. Adeline kept her mouth shut. She was only wearing that annoying smile on her face. “This is a waste of time.” I raced to Adelina, my right hand was surged with power, ready to compel her into telling us what really happened, but she suddenly turned to face me and stopped me by putting her hand up but I could see from the movement of her lips, I knew she was doing some kind of incantation. I quickly flicked my hand to grab the apple on her desk and put it in her mouth in a quick attempt to silence her. Ryker moved fast as he could and restrained both of Adelina’s hands. “We can do this the hard way or the easy way. Your pick, Adelina.” The sorceress ignored him, her eyes were solely locked on me. Carefully I pulled the appl
“Don’t make me ask you again, Adelina.” The temptation was getting bigger and harder to resist. I could almost taste the sweet, vigorous power. “He’s very important to me and if you don’t tell me what you did and how to undo them, I’ve no problem erasing your memory.” I leaned forward and added, “Even better, I’ll make you forget that you’re a witch so you have no power of retrieving your memory.” The smug look on her face was entirely gone the moment I mentioned erasing her memory. That was what she had left. Her identity. With her involvement in Alana’s ploy and killing Walker’s baby — possibly an heir, she was done for and she knew it. Logic prevailed as she swallowed convulsively before finally giving me the answer, “I did use some magic to mask his human identity and tweaked his wolf. But since I was not using dark magic, in order to do that, I have to preserve balance in this universe.” “What does that even mean?” I was getting impatient. The closer I was to Adelina, the lo
“Ah, of course, whenever there’s Evan Albright, there’s always his loyal protector Griffin too,” greeted Ryker with a light, friendly tone. It seemed that he knew both of these wolves. “I need to speak with your Alpha.” Griffin, a man with tanned skin and dark curly hair, scoffed. “Yeah, right. Our alpha doesn’t meet just anyone. If you want to meet him, wait until the next pack leaders’ meeting.” “I’m afraid we don’t have the luxury of time.” Ryker let go of my hand and shoved his hands inside the pocket of his black leather jacket but he still kept me close. “More like your mate Eros does not.” At the mention of Eros’ name, both members of the Erebus growled. Clearly, they were aware of Eros’ disappearance so at least Adelina hadn’t messed with their heads. I couldn’t tell what Evan was saying considering he was in his wolf form but even with his growl, Griffin’s words were audible. “What did you do to him?! We’ve been looking for him. I swear if you or your pack members did an
Alpha Leonidas agreed that he would send a few of his pack members to go looking for Eros in the Center, Ryker would also send a few of the Ethereal members to help. Young Seb would come with us once we managed to locate Eros/Ares but he would be accompanied by his sister, a pack warrior named Yelena. Young Seb didn’t look happy being babysat by his sister but Alpha Leonidas’ words had been final. It was either Yelena or Beta Adler and of course, Young Seb would prefer his sister rather than the grumpy Beta. As we drove back to the North, I tried to read Ryker’s mind and when I came up with nothing, I decided to ask him directly, “What are you doing to do with Alana?” There was a long moment of silence inside the car before Ryker finally glanced at me and replied, “I don’t know.” He inhaled a deep breath and let it out. “Dmitry already locked her up again. Her dad kept asking to see me, he tried to mind link me numerous times when we were back at the Erebus’ territory but I blocked
Ryker and I wasted no time as we made our way to the Center. It seemed that Trish had volunteered to join the team looking for Eros and she’d been the one finding him. While Ryker focused on driving, I quickly sent a text to Trish, thanking her for doing this. She didn’t have to help but she knew how much Eros meant to me and helped anyway. By the time the car stopped a few blocks away from Eros’s apartment building, I frowned. I couldn’t believe that Ares had checked himself into the same apartment although he rented a different unit than what Eros had there. Perhaps the familiarity of the building somehow drew him into renting a unit there despite the high rental cost. This could be taken as a good sign that maybe his memory was still there, just hidden. That he could be saved. I got out of the car as soon as the car stopped and both Trish and Young Seb approached me. “So what now?” asked Young Seb looking at me and then at Ryker who had gotten out of the car and was approaching us

“Wow, look at you,” I teased Ryker as I walked into the kitchen and found him wearing my dad’s clothes and also his apron. “What are you making?” I placed my hand on the spot on the kitchen island and peered over his shoulder. “French toast.” Ryker turned his head and planted a kiss on my left temple. He did it in a way that almost scared me because it was
