"Where are we going? You are moving like you know this place." "You don't need to follow me you know." 'Like I have a choice' she muttered under her breath. Walking was a challenge since she sprung her leg but she rather crawl than let herself lose guard around Lennox again. When he offered to carry her, she flat-out denied him and now he was being an ass, taking long strides she couldn't keep up with just to make her ask for his help but he had no idea the extent of her pride. After the incident of the last time, they stuck to lower ground, following a clear path. Lennox didn't know why but his instincts had become somewhat sharper and more accurate, his sense of smell too. He was able to track the hot spring earlier and the fruit, because he caught a whiff, Of it and tracked their smell. Now, although it was faint he could smell salt water forward which meant the ocean sea, he could lead her out of the forest and to the beach of the island then they would figure more
Riona tried her best to breathe despite the smelly air of something rotten, she was sitting on the cold bare floor that made her backside hurt, blindfolded with her hands tied behind her in silver chains that burnt her delicate wrist. For days the darkness created by the blindfold tormented her with nothing but the quiet of the room. How long have I been here? Maybe a week, how did I even end up here? She bowed her head when her tears threatened her eyes, how did my life even come to this? Why did my father have to leave me alone to face this cruel world when I was not ready? I couldn't become the brave little girl you taught me to be. Sorry... I'm so sorry daddy. Riona couldn't believe how much her life had changed after her father died. Her people found her disgusting because of her scar and would look away at her arrival and some would avoid her entirely but the one person who had kissed her and smiled at her even while looking into her eyes, not once paying attention to the mask
"Riona wake up, you can't sleep here." In her sleep, Riona felt someone shaking her. "You have not won," she mumbled. "Huh? Stop talking rubbish and get inside." Riona jolted up from the chair, breathing hard with her hand on her chest. Her wide eyes roamed her surrounding, what is happening? her brows creased at the sight of the flower she had planted in her garden, the air was fresh and clear and her hand was free. But I was in some kind of warehouse with Lily and Marshall and... I was shot. Her eyes darted down to where her hand held firmly, searching for a gun wound but was nothing there. What is going on? "Riona what were you dreaming of? You look like you saw a ghost or something, never mind that just get inside because you can't sleep here." Riona now noticed Kiara who was frowning at her and going on about something. "What happened? How did I get here?" She pulled the old woman close, waiting for an answer. "You hit your head bad? you came by yourself so why are you ask
I know I said I would be back but this? I really get a do-over. Get ready Lily because I am coming for you. Riona leaned forward once she had entered midnight territory, her awareness at its peak as her eyes studied everywhere while she sat in a car, her eyes trained on the window as they neared their destination. The event of the last time was stuck on repeat in her head, more confident than ever she was determined to not let them screw her up. Never again. Alpha Drake would react violently at the slightest thing because he was a hot-headed piece of shit which meant she needed to be very careful when he orders her to take off her mask. "We are here luna," her driver notified her. This was it, I will start to alter my life from here. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves before getting out of the car. "Welcome Riona, I am Landa please follow this way." A lanky male came to welcome her. She recognized him, he looked like a weak omega but his wolf was anything but weak at least
November 11th, 1950- It's not over. I was able to save him and stop the invasion but I got myself captured. Now they know I am his mate, they want to use me to destroy everything instead. I have been locked up for days but I know he will save me, I can feel it but I fear for what is to happen since this hadn't occurred in my past. There is nothing I can do to save myself and I am too weak to shift, they must have known I would try to escape if I was able to turn. Now I am helpless. I was able to find out about the traitors of our pack who fed information about us away but my wolf is too weak to link with Richard, now all I can do is hope for a miracle. I still don't understand my power and how it works but I wish granny was alive. Riona was in her room, tucked under her covers after just waking up from her sleep. She picked up her mother's book to read the next diary entry. A gasp escaped her at the information. Her mom was captured? Her mother's life was really in danger and she w
"Luna please you need to come out." "Who are you to disturb me in my rest?" She yelled in frustration while she hid under her covers. "I'm sorry luna but I was_" "Leave me this instant," she ordered. Riona woke up several times at night and gave herself a lecture on the importance of using your head properly. When morning came she remained in her room. Why would you forget your bag Riona? How do you even plan on getting it back? She covered her face with a pillow and screamed inside it, then she left her bed to pace around her room. Get a new mask? No no, Kiara would ask too many questions. This is driving me crazy, who was that crazy guy? She had to get her mask back no matter what, she crouch down and covered her face. but what if he is still there or even worse he has my bag. No, she should not jinx it, she could just run away again, right? But she knew it was all because she had a few seconds' heads start when she ran yesterday and then again she was already spent too. She go
Riona swung her feet into the air, and tried to counter with the other but fell when she failed to maintain her stance, that had been going on for two hours straight and she got really good at falling on her ass. she was out of breath and her hair had escaped from the bun causing it to frame down to her back and some stuck to her face. "You put too much thought into your attacks which makes you slow and easy to read," Lennox said gesturing to her on the ground. "Don't think, do." Easy for you to say, just shut up already. He was always around when she trained, something she had gotten used to in the past two weeks. She learned his name after she challenged him in a race she barely won. He was an alpha, his black wolf towered over hers and she wondered what pack he was from. He would always point out mistakes she made and she was more annoyed than grateful when he did. Today she didn't stop even when her body was about to give out. She was going to see Lily today, her best friend
Lennox "You have been leaving your responsibilities and going goddess knows where, now you want to go to Crimson pack? and you won't tell me why." "Exactly." He nodded in reply. Trisha's eyes twitched at him as she stopped pacing in his office, she plopped down In a chair and rested her head back. "I hate you," she scowled at him. "You shouldn't talk to your alpha like that," He said although he was smiling. "Where is your stress ball, you need it." He stood and headed for the door. Nobody would understand what was on his mind, he found his mate after so many years and she was way better than he had ever imagined, strong, beautiful, and irresistible. Way too perfect for him and she may have realized it, after all, she ran away from him... twice. Who was she? Why would she run away from him and why did she claim to be rogue? His need to know almost drove him to madness. "Tell me, Lennox, why all this?" Trisha's moved and hugged him from behind, her words stopped him at the door.
