RILEYI woke up feeling supine, and noticed Vincent's arms around my waist, I snuggled into his embrace, not wanting to get up from bed."You are awake" I heard Vincent's voice, he was staring at me and I hummed in response, my eyes were still closed"How are you feeling""As I went through hell" well I literally went through hell."I am sorry" I was surprised to hear him say that.My eyes fluttered open as I stared at him, "don't say that, you are making me cringe" " Really now, I am trying to be nice here"" Well it's not like you so don't" I replied " what are you sorry for anyways"" For not listening to you, I should have marked you when you asked, I felt so…"" Shhh" I placed my hands on his lips. " I understand if you aren't over your first mate and you can't mark me because of that," I told him and he gave me a confused look." What," I asked staring at him"Is that what you think""Isn't that why you didn't mark me, because you are not over Scarlet?" I asked because that wa
I went to the office with Vincent, and I was surprised to hear that Cassie came to work, I wanted to meet her during lunch but I didn't see her.There was something odd about work today, when I walked into the company with Vincent, everyone was avoiding my gaze.When I went for lunch, Vincent's bodyguards on his floor lowered their heads as I walked towards the elevator which made me feel awkward.I went to the cafeteria and saw Mirabel and Victor, but didn't see Cassie at the table, which made me wonder where she was."Hey" I waved to them both sitting at the table."Hi," Mirabel said in a low voice while Victor gave me a small smile."You two are acting weird""No we are not" Mirabel replied immediately.I gave them a questioning look." We just don't know how to speak to you now we know you are the Alpha king's mate"" Is that why everyone is giving me off looks"" Well, we are all surprised" I looked around and noticed how everyone turned back to their lunch when I looked at them
CYRUSI sat on the couch in Vincent's office, I had teleported here after talking to Cassie. Vincent was staring out the glass of his office. I could feel the wasn't in a good mood.We both knew that Riley had lied to us but Vincent didn't want to question her further, but that didn't stop him from trying to find out what really happened and who had dared to touch Riley.He had been furious since last night and he also feels Cassie had something to do with it."Cassie came to drop her resignation letter""And what did you tell her""Don't worry, I didn't accept it, I told her to bring it to your office. She was reluctant at first but she obliged in the end" I replied.He didn't answer but kept on staring at the city."I think Riley has her reasons for not telling you" There was a knock on the door and I knew Cassie was there to drop her resignation letter."Come in" Vincent's voice was void of any emotion, it was scary seeing him like this, making me wish Riley was here.The door ope
I left the office, I couldn't talk to Vincent, not when he was in that state.The full moon was coming out, which meant immense strength for the wolves. They were creatures of the moon and became at their peak during the full moon.Lycans were stronger than werewolves with or without the moon, but werewolves mostly needed the moon, and this was one of the nights were they can shift freely, making it dangerous for humans to be around.I walked through the streets that were almost deserted, the clouds covered the moon, making little light shine.Someone walked into me, almost knocking me off."What the hell, watch where you are going" she cursed, that was when I looked at her and noticed that I had met her before, she was looking familiar."Kayla" it was more of a question to confirm her identity.She looked at me and gasped, astonishment written on her face."I know you, you are my boyfriend from Paris"I cringed at the way she referred to me."Boyfriend" I scoffed"Were you following
RILEYAfter leaving Cassie in the cafe, I saw Louis waiting in front of the company." Glad you decided to come home, you got me worried" he intoned as I approached."I am sorry I made you worry"He hugged me "I am just glad you are safe. Come on let's go home" he released me from the hug and opened the car door for me. Always acting chivalrous.I was about to enter the car when I remembered I forgot the file I was going to review when I got home."I forgot something in the office, I will be right back"I went back into the company and took the elevator to the top floorI got to the office, and opened the door, entering inside."Vincent, I forgot the file I was supposed to work on……..Aaaaaaah!!!!" I screamed placing my hands over my mouth, not completing what I had wanted to sayI staggered backwards as I stared at the scene in front of me.It was Cassie's body, lying lifeless on the floor in a pool of blood. I could feel the tears brimming in my eyes, my hands shivering as I stepped
I was confused about what to do, I could still hear the commotion from outside. I looked outside the window, staring at the full moon.I had read from the Lycanthropy book which Cyrus had given me that Lycans are more stronger and powerful on a full moon, while werewolves are able to shift to wolves.I turned to the door when I heard something crash on it. I stepped backwards, I didn't know much about fighting and I don't know how to help Louis either.I pressed my back against the wall hoping the fight would end soon.The door suddenly flew open, and I was about to grab the flower pot beside me and throw it at the person when I saw Louis entering my room."Riley, you need to leave now" he commanded, heading to the window."What's happening," I asked confusedHe looked outside the window and opened it "They are after you and the flower, you have to leave""Why""I don't know that either," he answered, giving me the flower. "Now leave""What about you""Don't worry about me, I will be
We talked for a while about random things, she was fun to talk to, and I think she was trying to make me feel comfortable. She was really nice, but I noticed that though she was being jovial, deep inside she wasn't as happy as she is on the outside and it made me inquisitive. I wanted to know why she was feeling that way."If I may ask, what were we doing in the woods?" She took a sip from her coffee.I was expecting this question sooner or later, and I hoped she wouldn't ask but it was inevitable. I didn't know how I was going to tell her that I was being chased by Lycans because my mate killed one of their mates."I was just taking a walk in the woods""Naked?" I didn't think about that "I… I… " I tried to come up with a good explanation as to why I was naked, but all I could come up with was nothing. I would have told her the truth, but I didn't know if she was aware of the existence of supernatural beings."Are you a Lycan, they tend to run around naked after shifting back to th
CYRUSI drove to the pack house, I had gotten a call from Bronte telling me to come and he sounded worried which made me wonder the reason why.I left Kayla at home after having dinner with her which was torturous, having her so close in just her night wear.After getting Bronte's call, I quickly drove to the pack house.I hurried inside, everywhere seemed tense, I noticed the Lycans were alert as the tension filled the air.I was going to Vincent's study when I saw Bronte running down the stairs."What is wrong?" I was worried as to what was happening, it was just one in the morning, and although the moon still shines brightly, it was strange seeing everyone tense, as though something bad happened."Louis came in a few hours ago, saying that he was attacked, and he couldn't find Riley after the attack"" What about Vincent"" No one knows where he is, he blocked everyone out, and I can't reach him," Louis explained. I could see the worried look on his face, though he was trying to hi
