RYKER

I couldn’t get that look in her face when she’d closed the door on me. There was regret, guilt, anger but something else lurked beneath.

I’d finally told her the truth. About everything. Unconventional as it may seem, it felt… good. My chest didn’t feel like caving in every time I thought about Iris but her last words still lingered in my mind.

Just… give me space.

Space.

A warm feeling crawled up my spine before I could stop it. Under normal circumstances I should be worried but she sai

  • The Alphas Broken Mate   Chapter 21

    IRISThe day dragged on until the sky darkened, purple and ash dusk rays painting my wall. It’s been hours since Timothy went back.What was going on?I should probably check on him.No.I told him I would stay put until he gets answers. I planned to wait. I really did. But then the eery stillness in the air came like a fever. My wolf whined, hitting against my chest.A howl echoed.Outside.Far outside.Then another.I pushed off my bed, bolting to the balcony and throwing the doors open. Something was wrong.I let my eyes flutter close, listening closely. Focus Iris. Block out the noise. The whispers of the trees watered down, the wind quietened. I focused on the unnatural, going past the creaking of insects and chittering of squirrels.A branch snapped. My ears perked. Then footsteps followed. Slow. Too slow to be scouts. South.My eyes flew open, breath rushing back in.“Someone was at the border.” I whispered to myself as a shiver ran through me.It didn’t sound like anyone was

    IRISI was sick of this.They all kept things away from me in the name of protecting me.Ryker, Ash… Kade.He’d told, no, ordered me to go back to my house and of course I did the exact opposite. I’d waited for the tension to settle, for the members to snap out of their shock, their confusion . I’d waited for their lingering gazes to at least dull, then I left, cautiously going to the only place they’d put Grayson after he openly disrespected the alpha.The holding cells.Was I afraid? Out of my mind, my heart wouldn’t stop pounding against my chest, making it seem like it would burst out any second now. My clammy hands gripped the torch, creating a beam of light in the darkness.Cold seeped into my bones from the stone walls. The space was mostly empty, save for an old wolf, curled up against the wall, muttering words I couldn’t put together.My skin tightened with caution.I scanned the cell, flashing my light until they caught Grayson’s silhouette. He was hunched over, his face b

    IRISMy footsteps echoed through the hallways like a drum, the sound bouncing around the walls of my mind.You could get hurt.Ash’s words echoed in my head but it didn’t register. I was already aware of the risks before I started this entire thing. I groaned, running a hand over my face.“I should have asked about the curfew,” I muttered to myself, letting my fingers hang over my lips.The urge to chew my nails raw tugged at my chest. “Probably has something to do with Sussie,” My mind raced, restrategizing. I’ll have to law low for a while. Knowing Ash, the only reason he’d let me out of there without a plan was because he had one… I just didn’t know what it was.Probably something to stop me from meeting the lady in the cave.Good luck with that.I turned the corner, cutting through the main hall. The chatter of the pack members invading my head almost immediately. Their voices seemed to stall the moment I stepped in, their gazes shifting uncomfortably like they just shared a sec

    ASH“You have one question left.”I’d suspected all this time. It was too convenient. Lost parents. Lost past. I, more than anyone, knew that only spelled trouble.I just didn’t realize how big.I didn’t lie.I wasn’t a magic user. Didn’t mean I didn’t know where to find one. I'd kept a very special rock, buried at the entrance of this room. A rock that was able to keep vampires out.And if she claimed she couldn't get in…I filed that observation into the long list of things that were still a mystery to me. I would dig deeper.But right now, what intrigued me more was the fact that she tried to get into my room. Points for even trying but I wasn’t hiding anything. Not here anyways.I watched closely as she shuffled on her feet, her brows knotting and unknotting, like she couldn’t make up her mind on what to settle on.“Can you tell me how to activate a blood ruby?” My pulse dropped. That wasn't a question someone asked by accident. Not a question someone even knows to ask unless th

  • The Alphas Broken Mate   Chapter 17

    IRISI've been stuck doing the same thing for a week now.Staring at the necklace.It sat on my nightstand, sunlight glinting off the blood ruby. That, also, was the only thing I’d learnt so far. That the previous stone embedded in the gold casing was a blood ruby.Elder Rain had reluctantly given me that information, even though her stares this time were a little bit longer than usual, her squints narrower too. Who could blame her really? Her daughter was still bedridden while everyone else got to live their lives.And it wasn’t just her to be honest. The other pack members too. Granted I’d gotten used to their silent detest for the outsider and their jabs every once in a while, this time it felt different.Their stares lingered too long, their whispers too low. It should have bothered me more than it did, what happened to Sussie. But right now I was more focused on why the hell I'd touched a stone and ended up in another different location. And that strange woman…I sucked in a bre

  • The Alphas Broken Mate   Chapter 16

    IRISThe steady drip of water echoed through the cave, each drop landing in a slow, rhythmic pattern that made my skin crawl.My pulse pounded in my ears.Think, Iris.There has to be a way-My wolf stiffened, her low growl rumbling through my chest. I stiffened too. Then I heard it.Footsteps. They were light, far but my wolf caught it and she was not happy with whatever was about to appear. Neither was I.Before I could second-guess myself, I moved, stepping on the small ball of fire. I ignored the flames that sizzled on my feet, fighting stubbornly before going out, plunging the entire area in darkness. My eyes narrowed, adjusting to the darkness, my senses growing sharper. The steps stopped.My heart hammered so hard I was certain it was going to escape my chest. The silence was loud, too loud. My mind was still trying to understand how one minute I was in Katrina’s room and the next moment, I'm in some cave.Panic flared when the footsteps continued, slower this time, more cau
