*******CADEN*********I decided to ask Riley out for a date today but I couldn’t believe how hard it could be. I had to enlist for Keith’s help but he wasn’t helping matters.“What are you two doing?” Val asked as she take a seat beside me.“Trying to get Caden to ask Riley out” He said and she smile.“Took you long enough” She said.“The problem is how do I go about it?” I said.“Just man up and ask her out, it shouldn’t be that difficult right?” She said and I groaned.“That’s exactly what I have been telling him”Keith said.“Yeah right, cause it is that easy”I said sarcastically.“Oh come on, you’ve date numerous amount of women, it shouldn’t be hard to ask her out”Val said before biting into an apple.“But those numerous people aren’t my mate”I said.“Just ask the lady out” Keith said.“And please tell me you have a good place in mind” Val asked.“I was thinking about this new restaurant in town and maybe we could go out for a movie or something” I said and she nods.“Now go and t

********CADEN********It was a soft press to her lips but it causes everything to explode inside of me. Holding steady, we breathe together, our bodies trembling in equal measure.I press a little harder, the kiss still a sweet and gentle thing assuring her that I was going to protect her with my whole life.I treasure every minute of the kiss.“Why do you two look like you’ve just been caught having sex”Amelia said when everyone was sited in the living room.“Do you have to make them more red than they already are?” Keith said.“And will you both stop teasing them already?”Mom said and I mentally thank her.“I was thinking about joining the pack warriors again” Tracy said once everyone has quiet down.“Am absolutely sure we don’t need someone like you on our team” Amelia said.“And what do I have to do to assure you that I have changed” Tracy asked.“For one getting away from me and two, you don’t have the right to be near us” Amelia said.“I didn’t mean for what happened to happen,

******RILEY******Caden hasn’t been around for nearly a week now. Keith and Noah are also not around and according to Amelia, they went for pack business.“Are you alright?” Val said while sitting beside me.“Just wondering when Caden and the guys will be back” I replied.“Am sure they are doing fine and will be back soon”She said while handing me an apple to eat.“Even at that, he ought to call so that I can know that he is doing fine”I said and she laughs.“What is funny?” I asked.“The funny thing is that almost four weeks ago, you were behaving as if you two don’t care for each other” She said with a smile.“Well now I do and am angry at his behavior. How can he not even call?” I said.“Probably doesn’t want to disturbed” She said.“Whose side are you on exactly?” I said with a frown.“Yours. I want you to tell me more about Noah, I feel like I don’t really know much about him” She said.“Well he has always been a close book. He never interact with people which sometimes can be a

*****RILEY*****Caden has been avoiding ever since he told me that he was jealous.I was quite confused about it.I mean I do get the fact that me and Noah being mates might have had an effect on Caden and I’s relationship but Noah has a mate now and am definitely no longer interested in him.“Can I have a word with you?”Tracy said and I nodded.“I just wanted to tell you that staying here isn’t going to do you any good. It is better to get the fuck away from my mate” She said after she had led me to a private place.“Am sorry but I have no idea who your mate?” I said while raising my brows.It was already enough that am dealing with how to talk to Caden, she doesn’t need to spoil my mood than the way it is already is.“I am talking about Caden. Get the fuck away from him. He doesn’t someone like you” She said while raising her voice.“Am sorry but I can’t do that. Caden is my mate and I have a right to be in his life. Now if you would excuse me, I have something better and tangible

*******CADEN*******Immediately Ronald beckon on all of them to enter the arena, my heart starts to race.What if something bad happens?What if she gets killed?Snap out of it....I can't lose her when I have just gotten.Please Moon Goddess, keep her safe.“Dude, she is going to be fine" Keith said while patting my shoulder “And how exactly do you know that?" I ask.“Cause when I pass by her and Amy's training sessions, I saw how she beat the shit out of Any" he said with a smile.“She didn't beat me up" Amelia said and we all turn to look at her black eye she had since three days ago with a frown.“Okay maybe she did land a hit on me but damn that girl can throw a punch" she said making all of us to smile before I turn my attention back to my mate.“She is going to be fine. I trust in our mate" Liam said cheering me up.“Thanks buddy" I said.“This is a fight till death but it has been changed, if your opponent agrees to a truce then the fight will be off, the one who calls on a t
