RYLEE I was worried about what the outcome of the meeting would be. Everything about the arrangement was fishy. It made me feel uneasy. "You don't have to worry, Rylee. Even if it's a trap, I will handle it" he said. "I'll go with him. You don't have to worry, Rylee" Jared said and I leaned back on my seat. "Fine" I said.Jared picked up a couple of white envelopes from Vincent's desk and started to head towards the door. "What are those?" I asked Vincent and he shrugged. "Allora's threat letters" he responded and I winced. "Why are they so many?" "She sends quite a lot of them. She never gets tired." I sighed, rubbing my temples in frustration."I still don't recall meeting any woman with that name. I still don't know how she knows me.""It's okay, you don't have to worry about it. I'll figure it out," Vincent said and I frowned. "What if you had a one night stand with her? What if she's your ex-lover?" Vincent blinked, his face devoid of expressions. "I don't do night sta

RYLEE I probably should have listened to Vincent when he asked me to stay put. But, I was curious. I kept a good distance from the gate and watched the unusual scene unfold before my eyes. I wondered if the visitor really had clear motives. I didn't know what to think. From the look on Vincent's face, I could tell that the visitor had hit a nerve. I knew he desperately wanted to find the man who was aware of his secret, but was it enough for him to let the stranger in? Moreso, I felt that the stranger was desperate to get Vincent's attention. The question was, why?Why would he go to such lengths to get Vincent's attention? Did he really know the whereabouts of the person Vincent was searching for?"What is this? Some sort of trick?" Vincent said, turning to look at the stranger. "I assure you that it is not a trick.""How do you know this person?" Vincent asked and the stranger lowered his head. "I overheard him talking to Alpha Killian. They are friends. He plans to meet Alpha Kil

RYLEE He took hold of my hand and refused to let go. I had no choice but to stay with him and watch him sleep. I stroked his hair with slow movements and let out a sigh. I knew he was strong and powerful, but at the moment he looked so vulnerable. I wanted to protect him to the best of my abilities. I placed a hand on his forehead to check for a fever, but there was none. Although he was sleep, he refused to let go of my hand. I wondered how he would feel about everything that had happened when he wakes up. Would he go back to being cold and indifferent? Or would our relationship progress? While I could only hope for the latter, I couldn't help but feel worried. He had broken down in front of me, I had a feeling that he was going to be embarrassed. I gazed at his resting face, taking note of the dark circles under his eyes. His brows were creased up and his breathing had quickened. I knew for a fact that his nightmares had begun. So, I laid down beside him. He buried his face in the

VINCENT "It has to be Allora's doing. It can't be a mere coincidence," Rylee said as we walked towards the gates with Jared. "It's a grotesque sight. I suggest you brace yourself," Jared said to her and her eyes widened."It can't be so bad, right?" "You just have to see it for yourself," Jared responded. He was right. The bodies were mauled beyond recognition. It was a messy murder. The sigil from before, was carved into their foreheads. There were three bodies in all. Rylee brought a hand to her mouth, her eyes filling up with tears."Allora left you a short letter," Jared said, handing me a blood stained sheet of paper. It read:'Soon, it will be the turn of your pack members. You should move quickly if you want to stop US. We love big challenges, Vince'"We also have another problem, Vincent" Jared said, turning to look at me."These bodies were once members of Wyatt's pack. He will definitely not let this one slide. He will make sure to use it against you. Things are not looki

RYLEE While we sat by the fire, eating grilled meat, Ava nudged me and gave me a smile. "You look a lot happier" she said and I patted my cheek with my free hand. "I do?""Of course! I'm so glad Vincent made you the pack's Luna. Can't you tell that the members are happy? We were worried that my brother would never find his mate." I shifted my gaze to Vincent, who was engrossed in a conversation with both Jared and Zeke. I raised my hand to wave at him as our gazes connected. I couldn't stop myself from beaming as he gave me an acknowledging nod. His eyes tightened into thin slits, and his attitude shifted abruptly. A panicked scream pierced the air and everyone rose to their feet."Sorry to crash this party. But, I had to. I must say, I love attending parties. The only reason I'm doing this is because I was not invited." I clenched my fists, my blood boiling in my veins, at the sound of Allora's voice. She was standing in the centre of the field, a little girl captured in her head
