All Chapters of Help!! The beast is obsessed with me. : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Riley“I, Brandon, reject you, Riley, as my mate.” Brandon said, his hand pressed against his chest as pain crossed his face.My mouth quivered as I stared at him. The words I was supposed to say felt impossible to speak. My throat tightened, I could only stand there and stare at the man who was supposed to be my mate. The room felt strangely quiet despite the number of people watching us.“Come, Riley. Say it and get it over with. We do not have all night.” My stepmother's impatient voice broke the silence.I swallowed hard and looked at Nicole, my stepsister. She was smiling, not even trying to hide her happiness.I slowly shifted my eyes toward my father, Alpha Bloodwyn had a smug smile on his face too. He didn't look heartbroken. He didn't look concerned about his daughter standing in front of him, waiting to have her heart ripped apart.Brandon looked at me again, his expression hardening. “Come on, Riley. You did not seriously think I was going to accept you as my mate, did you?

Riley I looked toward the door, but there was no escape waiting for me on the other side. Even if I somehow managed to get out of the house, where would I go? There was nowhere I could run without eventually being caught, and if I was caught trying to escape, it would not only mean my death. My entire household would pay the price for my decision.Running away from serving the beast was considered treason.Every year, when the custodians came to collect the girl chosen to serve the King, no family was allowed to refuse. A family that hid their daughter or tried to help her escape was punished severely. They could be killed or banished from the kingdom entirely. And being banished was hardly any different from a death sentence. Without the protection of a pack, there was little chance of surviving for long.I turned my eyes toward my father. For a moment, I desperately hoped he would look at me. Maybe he would say something that would get me out of this situation but Instead, he looke

RexI slowly opened my eyes as the faint rays of dawn began slipping through the curtains, casting thin streaks of light across the room. For a few seconds, I remained still, disoriented by the unfamiliar feeling settling over me.Then it hit me, I had slept through the entire night. My eyes widened. I immediately shot upright in bed, staring into the quiet dark room as disbelief washed over me. I could hardly remember the last time I had slept peacefully from dusk until dawn without waking even once. It had been a hundred years, a hundred years of restless nights.That was impossible, I turned my head sharply, searching the other side of the bed. The woman who had been with me last night was gone. I frowned and reached toward the spot where she had been lying. My fingers brushed against the sheets, and I immediately felt the coldness beneath them. She had been gone for some time.My expression hardened. I got out of bed, my feet hitting the floor as I hurried toward the entrance. The

Riley"She can't live here. The authorities are sweeping the district for spies right now. If they find her in our home, we are finished," Sofia's mate snapped at her, his glare burning straight through me.I shouldn't have even been in the Northern Division. It used to be part of our kingdom, before everything fractured. When the Lycan King and his Beta went to war, the territory split right down the middle. And Beta Scott, who now rules the North, has one rule that everyone knows; no outsiders. Especially not wolves from our side.A few of us had managed to slip across the border days ago. It was already hard enough to blend in when you don't have a wolf. I felt naked without that presence in my head, constantly second-guessing how a normal wolf would act, how they would walk, how they would look at people. I couldn't get a hotel because I had no ID, no papers, nothing to prove I belonged here. And I couldn't leave either. Outside the pack borders, the war was raging. For a wolfles

Riley I slowly pushed myself up from the bed, still trying to clear the fog from my mind. My body felt heavy, and for a few seconds, I remained sitting there, trying to remember everything that had happened before I lost consciousness.Then I looked down at myself, my clothes were gone. I was now wearing an oversized shirt that fell loosely over my body, making it obvious that someone had changed me while I was unconscious.My heart immediately began to race. I got off the bed and looked around the room, hoping there was some explanation for what had happened. But there was no one there to answer my questions.I didn't waste another second. I hurried out of the room, relieved to find that the door wasn't locked. I stepped into the hallway and looked in both directions, unsure of where to go or whether anyone was watching me.I still had no idea why I had been brought back to the palace. The Custodian had drugged me and driven me all the way b
