Aurora cries out as she feels contractions, gripping the grass around her and causing it to turn brown."We need warm water." Luca said."On it." Riviera conjures up a pan with warm water, and other things Luca will need to help his mate.Noth before long, a few hard pushes, and Luca using his teeth to bite the umbilical cord. The baby gives a wail that made everyone cover their ears."She had some lungs there." Kylie said.Riviera, feeling compelled to look at the child, she step closer and peeks at the baby that is wrapped in a yellow cloth."Holy Zeus." Riviera gives out, then steps back and falling over the log Luca was sitting on."What is it, child?" Luca asks."That baby.""Yes, it's a baby." Luca nods."No, that's me." Riviera lets out. Now with confusion rippling through her mind."What are you talking about? That is impossible." Sabastian said, going over to look at the newborn."I know wha

Riviera let out a growl, "we have to stop him now. I'm sure that if he drinks that think, it's over for all of you.""Us?" Kylie gulp."Yea, I'll be fine and just have to work by myself.""I should have seen that Jeremiah was a little fluke. I should have taken the things he said seriously." Kylie cry, pulling at her hair.Riviera turns to her with a look."He always said that he would rule this pack. Whenever I asked how, because only a child of the current Alpha could, he said that he would get rid of him."Sabastian turns to Kylie at that. "And you never thought to tell me this.""I only laughed it off.""Well, look at this now, Kylie. You are going to die."Kylie start crying at that, "I don't want to die. I wa-" She starts sobbing."You two go and find that wolf. I will keep her safe here." Aurora offers, then touches Riviera's shoulder. "Please be careful.""I think it is better if you two go back to

Luca mimics Jeremiah's move, by holding out his hands, causing the wolves to disappear."You talk big, so show some action instead of using mirage and other wolves do your own dirty work. I can't respect a villain who uses others to do his cause. If I am to die today, I want to die with some dignity by the wolf who wants to get rid of me.""That can be arranged." Jeremiah gets up from the makeshift throne he is sitting on. "I will kill both of you, then take this world. You two will make it easy."Jeremiah lets out black smoke out of his hands, which burns the grass and chocks up the air.Luca takes a deep breath, then lets it out, blowing back the smoke on Jeremiah and its acid effect burns him in the face.Jeremiah screams out, dripping to his knees, rubbing at his eyes.Just then, Shane runs at Riviera, swinging a club at her head. Riviera ducks down in time, then kicks out with her foot to send Shane flying back."Shane, you have

Riviera glances out the window as she now leaves her old life behind. Never did she think she would have to leave California and go to live in a place where her parents grew up. "Why do I have to do this again?" "Because the Fates thought it would be a great idea to allow the offsprings of wolves to experience both worlds. So now that you are seventeen, we are moving back to the pack." "But what about my friends?" "You will make new friends, plus you are betrothed is also there." Riviera's father tells her. "My betrothed? As in my mate?" Luca looks back at Riviera and nods, "yes." "But I thought I had to wait until I was eighteen before I can have a mate." Luca gives a half smile. "I wish you never had one to begin with, especially seeing that he is older than you, but that's the way of the wolf. And you have not to worry, he is the Alpha." Luca said, grabbing the steering wheel. "A true Alpha betrothed to the A

At 6:30 Riviera's alarm goes off, causing her to almost cry out from the sudden loud sound. "I don't even have school today." Riviera groans, then places a pillow over her head to go back to sleep. She is again being awakened by her mother. "There is someone outside calling you." Aurora said. "Who?" "Some girl by the name of Kylie?" Riviera jumps up out of her bed at that. "I forgot to tell you guys that she invited me to go down to the beach today." "Oh, ok. Well, you can't leave her waiting then." Riviera hurries to get ready, grabbing her swimsuit, towel and an extra pair of clothes. Then runs downstairs, grabbing up whatever snacks she can find to bring with her. "Have fun!" Aurora shouts. "Thanks. Love you, later." When Riviera gets outside, she sees three cars parked on the curb waiting for her. Kylie gets out of the back seat of one of the car, then runs over to her. "I tho
