Ryan's POV
“Connor spilled tea on himself and-” Tasha tried to explain but I cut her short. “It's not your duty!” I went to drag her away from Connor's side. I was angry I had to push my wolf back,he didn't like the fact that Tasha was touching another man. “Stop being possessive, I'm not like Dante.” Connor hissed and I growl. “Ryan….you…are hurting me.” Tasha winced. I released my grip on her hand which was now red. She looked at me but before she could say a word I dragged her out of Connor's room. “Why were you touching him?” I asked when we were outside. “I was just helping him clean before his wound get scared.” She huffed. I held my nose bridge and sighed. “Why were you in his room the first place?” “Lisa asked me to take his breakfast to him, since he couldn't walk around!” She was getting angry. “You shouldn't-” I was about to reprimand her when Dante and Liam popped out. “Xavier said you found the hotel?” “Yeah.” I answered. “I'll be in my room.” Tasha walked away angrily. “What's up with her?” Liam asked. “It's Nothing, we will talk in the car.” I walked out and they followed suit. Xavier was in the car already he sat in the driver's seat, I sat beside the driver's seat while Dante and Liam sat at the passenger seat.Xavier reversed and drove out of the house to the Apex hotel. “Have anything idea what we might find?” Liam asked. I had thought about it and I have no idea what we might find. “i have no idea Liam but we should all be on guard no matter what we find there.” The drive to the hotel was about an hour we had almost reached the outskirts of the city. Dante was right about the hotel not being a popular one. There was this sensation i could feel coming from my men. It was the aura of excitement and the fear and I guess they were excited to torture whoever brought the rogues in and on the other side they were scared if we would win or not. “Who lodges here?” Dante shivered, when we reached the hotel. “We'll see.” I unbuckled my seat belt and came out of the car. They all came down, Xavier opened the bag of weapons and distributed the knives, guns,stakes,tasers and the grenades. We entered the hotel, went over to the receptionist who was alarmed by our presence. “The key to Room 8!” Liam ordered. “I .. can't do that…the room is taken.” She stuttered. “I WON'T ASK AGAIN!!” Liam pointed a gun and she screamed. She scrambled around and brought out a bunch of keys,removed one and passed it to him. We turned to leave but three security men emerged and I glanced at the woman who folded her hands. “She called them.” I told the rest. Liam and Dante was about to attack the men but I stopped them. If we cause a scene we would easily alert the person we were looking for. I walked up to them and brought out my gold tally in which the Alpha symbol was imprinted on it. “Alpha!” They bowed in shock. “Take us to room 8.” I kept my tally in my pocket. “I thought you said we are maintaining a low profile.” Xavier whispered as the men led us to the room. “We are.” I replied. I will order them not to say a word about what happened, the elders are always snooping around I'm sure they had someone on my trail. We got to the front of the room and Liam kicked the door open. “You should have just used the key.” I rolled my eyes and walked in. “What,we needed to make a grand entrance.” He shrugged and Xavier hissed. The room was dark but we could see perks of being a werewolf.One of the men switched on the light,we searched everywhere everyone at high alert. Our eyes darted to the wardrobe when we heard a sound of rustle movement,I sped to the wardrobe open it I was about to shoot when I heard a child sob. I lowered my gun and pocket it. “What in there?” Xavier came closer. “A child.” I bent down to check. As soon as I bent down she jumped on me and hugged me,she bursted into tears and I was soon surrounded by my men. “A girl!” Dante yelled. “How on earth did she let the rogues in,she got super powers or something?” Liam paced around. “You guys are scaring the girl!” Xavier scolded them when the girl increased her tears. “What's your name?” I placed her on the bed, when she had calmed down. “Daisy.” She looked down at her feet which was dangling. “How old are you Daisy?” I asked calmly. “Five.” She looked at me. I pursed my lips and stood up,I rubbed my hands in my face as I tried to hold in the growl that was about to escape from my mouth. “Alpha.” The secure men came forward. “We are sorry to interrupt but we heard when you were talking about the rouges-” They looked at me to see if they could go on. “One of you should do the explanation.” I told them. “What we are trying to say is the little girl might not be the one you are looking for.” He paused and then continued. “Her father is,we found his late night movement suspicious and informed the manger about it but he did nothing.” “I guess he was paid handsomely.” The other man added. So in other words the rouge didn't give us the wrong information. But the room was empty,no luggage or trash in the waste bin which means he hasn't been around. “Where is your father?” Liam asked the girl but she didn't respond. “Let me.” I motioned for him to step aside. “Daisy.” I bent down. “Where is your dad?” I rubbed her tangled hair. “He went to see mommy.” She bowed her head. “This is not helping.” Dante tapped his feet impatiently. He was right but we couldn't just torture the girl,we have to wait around for the man to show up. “Daisy.” I sighed. “Do you know your dad's name?” I tried again. I didn't want to push her she is innocent in the mess her father or mother caused. “His name is Tyson West.” “Tyson West!” Liam looked me. “Tyson West is the head of patrol guards!”MATURE CONTENT)Gabriel's POV The annoying sound of my ringing tone woke me up. I tried to stand up from the bed but I felt a huge weight on me,it was Irene's leg I pushed her angrily.“Yes.” I picked the call.“The plan failed.” Noone said.I glanced at Irene and saw that she was still asleep,I stood up and went into the bathroom.“What do you mean by that?” I said in a low tone.“The stupid man did a terrible job.” He said in a scrawny voice. “But I have many things in my sleeves.“Well you better do it right this time.” I warned and ended the call.I punched the mirror on the wall angrily, That stupid Alpha was getting on my nerves.“Alpha Gabriel.” Irene knocked on the door.I opened it and walked pass her to the bed.“Strip!” I removed my belt.She rushed to my side and hugged my knees. “My whole body is weak Alpha.” She sobbed.“You should have known the consequences of marrying an Alpha!” I pulled her up and grapped her throat.“I'll do as…you say.” She said and I released my
The OmegaNatasha's POVI didn't know if it was the cold of the morning or the sharp pain from my body that forced me to open my eyes. I stood up shakingly fear gripped me when I heard the footsteps of my aunt.My eyes darted to the doorknob when I heard the squeaking sound.“Aunt Teresa…..” I swallowed my saliva.“You are still asleep!!” She yelled.I flinched at her voice. I hurriedly went to her and knelt down. My head bowed and my hands trembled as I held the hem of her cloth.“I'm sorry Auntie….. I didn't mean to wake up late…I slept late. I was busy washing the clothes you gave me till midnight.”“Get your filthy hands away from me.” She pushed me hard.“You know my friends and I have a meeting here and I'm the host. What did I tell you to do!!” She yelled.“To prepare the…. food ... .before 6am.” I stuttered.I didn't mean to wake up very late. I was so stressed out from the mountain of clothes she asked me to wash. Getting on her bad side wasn't what I planned this morning. My
The Mating Ceremony Natasha's POV After the sad revelation that Alpha Gabriel was going to kill the Omegas in the pack I had been on the edge, my wolf felt threatened and my senses had heightened all of a sudden. I was even scared to go outside. I stayed indoors most of the time, not that I had a place to go to. But what I still couldn't accept was the fact that Alpha Gabriel would bring such a law to motion his father wasn't like that I guess power does change people. The serious issue for me was that I wanted to survive, staying in the pack means I will get killed fleeing from the pack will make me a rogue and I will definitely get killed also. I honestly don't want to die. The thought of it scared me. “Hello, I'm talking here.” Irene snapped her finger at my face which brought me out of my thoughts. “You were saying?” “Get my boyfriend and I a soda!” She rolled her eyes. “Okay.” I moved away from the sink where I was washing the plate to get Irene what she wanted. “And Nat
A One nightstand. Ryan's POV My eyes were fixated on the scenery in front of me. The sound of the knock on the door distracted me.The door opened. My Beta was standing there with an amused look. I arched my eyebrows at his attitude. “What!” “Nothing sir, it's just the alarming news of the rogue's attack. It's getting too much.” Connor came closer. “Increase the men on the patrol.” “Capable men please.” I told him. Connor was about to say something but stopped. I rolled my eyes. I knew there was something else going on apart from the news of the rogues. “If there is nothing else, you can leave my office.” I sat on the swivel chair. “Ryan.” “Just spill it out!” “Aren't you disturbed by the rumors the elders are spreading? Even the pack members are getting confused on what to believe.” “Why don't you host a meeting with the elders,Ryan.” I shook my head at the suggestion there was no way I would stoop so low in explaining to those hold hags. “They can believe whatever they
Fleeing from the pack Natasha's POV Several weeks have passed since my public rejection and my one night stand with Ryan when I woke up the next morning he wasn't there again he only left a note saying. “I wish you were more than a one nightstand.” All hell had broken loose and the house became unbearable for me. I never knew Alpha Gabriel was closely associated with my cousin Irene. Teresa found out that Alpha publicly rejected me but she still has the wrong belief that I strongly tried to seduce the Alpha. I'm not even that good looking or curvaceous. “Still slacking off wench!!” I didn't even know when Teresa came outside. “I'm sorry aunt, I'm almost done. Do you still need the groceries?” “Should I still get it from the store?” She didn't give me a reply but looked at me as if I had grown two heads. I took her silence as a cue to get the groceries. I was about to leave the flowers that I was watering when she pulled me to the floor. “Behave yourself Natasha.” She gripped
The wrong territory Ryan's POV My wolf was threatening to leap to the surface with the news of the rogue event.He has been agitated ever since my Beta informed me of the hideout of the rogues not too far from our border. If care wasn't taken, it's likely they would break into the pack. I decided to handle the operation and not my Beta this time around. The whole forest wasn't that strange to me. My eyes darted to where we heard the sound of a wolf howling in pain. “You two follow me, the rest of you search the area and don't lose guard.” I ordered my men. My men and I got to where we heard the noise,in a flash I saw the rogues chasing a white wolf.My wolf took over at once and chased after them when I got there they had surrounded him and were taking a huge chunk of his flesh. I lunge at them ferociously, not sparing anyone. I don't know where the strange anger came from.. The rogues whimpered in pain and slowly ran away. I didn't chase them because they were headed in the dire
Ryan's POV“I don't think you should do that!” Connor interjected.I didn't know why but I just felt the need to keep her alive and if it meant giving her an Alpha's blood so be it. I turned to face Luke who was still waiting for my instruction.“What are you still waiting for? It's an order.” I stretched my hands to Luke.“You've got to be kidding me!” Connor raised his hands in disapproval and walked away.“You have to follow me to the laboratory,we can't do a blood transfusion here” Luke pointed to my now stretched hands.I nodded and followed according to him she would need two pint of my blood. After a couple of minutes he was done I waited for him to come back and give me a better news Hours passed and still no sign of Luke,I didn't know how but I found myself dozing off.“Alpha?” Luke tapped my shoulder.My eyes fluttered open “Please tell me something good.” I sat upright from the iron chair.I held my nose bridge the smell of the alcohol in the hospital was getting to me.“Sh
Gabriel's POV The wedding ceremony.My new Beta, James, walked in to inform me of the prepared event,it was time for the groom to come out. Today was my wedding day I was going to mark Irene as my Luna. She was a Delta's daughter making her the other right candidate for the position unlike my so called mate who was an Omega. My wolf had been acting strange lately he wanted to back out from our decision and wanted to get closer to Tasha.But fortunately for me I heard Tasha fled the pack and I will make sure I punish her if she dares to come back.“Everything is ready Sir.” James announced.“Let's go.” I adjusted my tie properly before walking outside.The pack members stood up in reference for me and bowed,I walked to the podium where the priestess was and waited for Irene. The door opened and Irene walked gracefully to where we were.“Our Luna is beautiful.” James commented from behind me.Unlike Luke my former Beta who was always having issues with my decision,James will come in ha

Ryan's POV The entire night I couldn't sleep,I kept rolling from one side of the bed to another side of the bed. I couldn't forget the look in Tasha's eyes. She was scared of me and I felt guilty for that.I prayed for the morning to come faster than usual. I didn't know why I was feeling guilty for the way I reacted to her. I've never felt bad about my decisions or how I treated people before.But why was it different with Tasha?The sun came out and I stood up from my bed, took my bath and went to Tasha's room. My conscience was killing me.I got to Tasha's room and hesitated to knock on her door. Her room was silent but I could perceive her scent. Which means she was still on the bed.I knocked the door twice, when I didn't get any response I turned to leave but the door flung open.Tasha looked at me with her eyes half opened.Her hair was disheveled I felt bad for waking her up.“Hi.” I smiled,I didn't know how to start“Good morning.” “Can I come in?” I asked.She stepped away
Natasha's POV “What are you doing here?” Ryan dropped his head on the floor and walked towards me.I shifted away from him, my hands trembling and my gaze was still on the floor where the man's head was.“Natasha!” Ryan stopped approaching me.“I…heard…screaming, that's why….I came to check.” I stuttered in fear.“You shouldn't be here, I warned you not to come down here!” Ryan snapped at me and I flinched.“I'm…sorry.” I bowed my head immediately.My hands were still trembling,I heard Ryan sigh and I looked up at him.“Go back to your room Tasha, we'll talk tomorrow.” He turned his back and went to take care of the body.I walked slowly outside,I didn't turn back to look at him for fear that Ryan would growl or do something I might not like. I went to my room and the nauseous feeling took over,I threw up all my stomach content to the extent that my whole body went numb.Luke couldn't check because of the incident. “I hope you are good baby?” I rubbed my stomach.Ryan seems to be on
Natasha's POV “So you mean the guy never knew you were the Alpha's daughter?” I sputtered a laugh at Lisa's story.She was talking about what happened when she was in highschool. A guy had asked her out and was bragging about how wealthy his family was until she invited him over and he met her father and Ryan.“You need to see the look on his face when I introduced my father to him.” She bursted into laughter.“He didn't wait,he took his bag and made a beeline out of the house.” I bursted into laughter. I wasn't there but I could picture how the guy must have reacted.“I missed him.” She said sadly.“Your dad?” She nodded.“He died when I was 16 and Ryan had to take over as the Alpha. It wasn't easy for him at that time, taking care of the pack, himself and I.”No wonder Ryan acts mature and cultured.He must have gone through a lot. I wondered if he had met his mate.“Ryan, does he have a mate?” I asked Lisa who was now stuffing meatballs into her mouth.“Ryan’s love life is kinda c
Ryan's POV We caught the rogues off guard, they had no idea we were watching them all the while. We had them surrounded. Our position was risky; they had the upper hand in the fight.“Whatever you do,make sure no one leaves the building.” I said through the mindlink.We had to contain them in, otherwise they would harm anyone that they come in contact with.“ALPHA,AT YOUR TWELVE CLOCK!” Liam said hurriedly.I shifted since fighting in my human form wasn't the best option in this fight, the rogues however didn't shift. They had huge smiles plastered on their faces and my heart twisted in anger as I launched furiously at them.“WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY COMING FROM!!” Connor yelled.Within a twinkle of an eye more rogues had surrounded the building which infuriated me and made my wolf rage angrily.“SHOULD WE RETREAT!” Dante spoke.“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT,WE HAVE A WHOLE PACK TO PROTECT!!!” I growled angrily.“How…. why?” The female rogue fell to her feet as I plunged my cla
Ryan's POV I got up earlier than usual because I had to train and strategies about our plan,we had to ambush the rogues without causing alarm. If the elders found out that some rogues were sniffing around in the pack it would cause me a lot of headache.What was still a mystery to me was how they were able to come in without notice. Unless someone in the border gave them entry? But that was impossible a wolf will never side with a rogue not to mention betraying his or her pack.I heard chattering coming from the kitchen and I knew Susan and Tasha was there. Tasha had prove herself to be different from other women,she did the chores, wake up early it was just a natural thing for her.Within a short period she had grown close to Lisa,the guys didn't have a problem with her except Connor who still put a wall around her.I entered the kitchen to make coffee, Tasha noticed my presence she turned to face me her mouth wide open.She stared shamelessly at my body I was shirtless since I just
You are not a burden Natasha's POV After the fallout in the room that Ryan witnessed I was completely embarassed, helplessly telling him that I was weak and I wanted to punish my mate for rejecting me. I said all kinds of weird things that I couldn't bring myself to look Ryan in the eye after that.But the strange thing was that he understood me.“Good morning Susan.” I was now familiar with everyone in the house including the huge men. They all welcomed me except Connor who was always snapping at me but he was still nice at least they all treated me like a person and not like a slave.“Good morning Natasha,how was your night?” Susan greeted.We were in the kitchen and she was preparing breakfast.I moved to the sink and started washing the dishes from last night.“Natasha I can do it, you shouldn't bother yourself.” I smiled at her words and continued with the notion.“I'm used to this.” I told her.“You wake up early like Alpha Ryan does.” Susan said as she stuck the bread into th
Ryan's POV It had been three weeks since I brought Natasha into the pack. She had a surgery to fix her bones which was successful and I was supposed to take her to the pack house today. Lisa and the rest had already done the needful in arranging Tasha's room,I hope she would like it.When I got to the hospital,I was told Luke was attending to her. I went to her room,I heard the sound of giggling and the mention of my name.“Talking dirty about me now?” I opened the door.“Nothing Sir.” Luke froze as he saw me and I could see Tasha trying to hold her laughter.“Excuse me Alpha,I have to attend to the other patients.” Luke dashed outside and Tasha bursted into laughter.I smiled seeing Tasha happy, she was improving.“What were you guys discussing?” I walked close to her just to intimidate.“Nothing Sir.” Tasha pursed her lips so she could stop laughing.“Luke is a bad influence, don't befriend him.” I frowned when she called me sir.“How are you doing Alpha?” She said it again.“Ryan
