All Chapters of Tormented By My Alpha Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

RYKER'S POV“She is no mate of mine,” I replied to him and turned away.“You say that now, but what happens when you realize you are hers just as she is yours? What happens then when you have broken her beyond repair?”“I haven’t had my pound of flesh to the fullest. She would pay the rest of her father’s debt.” I hiss.I watched as Ezren shook his head. “Nothing is stopping you, I see.” He said. “Just know that the moon goddess would never do anything without a reason. If she paired you with Lyra after years of waiting for your mate, it simply meant she was meant to be yours.”“I refuse it. I refuse her.” I replied to him furiously.“Please calm down, Ryker.” Lief stood up as he tried to play mediator.“Stay out of this.” I hissed at him, and he backed off.“Then reject her, kill her. Why this game?” Ezren asked me. After a few seconds, I smiled slowly. “How then would my revenge be complete? I want Alpha Damien to roll in his grave as much as possible when he sees how much his whore

LYRA'S POV“Maybe I can join you.” I turned to look at Nessa. “It looks like I won’t be encountering him today, I said.Nessa shook her head. “But he would be able to smell your scent if you came inside these areas. What if he gets angry because of that, too? She complained with worry etched on her face.“You are right. It would be bad if my presence leaves a trail and makes him angry. I don’t want to be in any more trouble.” I nodded my head in agreement.“Yeah, besides, you are still healing. Just wait by the door, okay? I will be quick. She added and hurried inside to drop the bedding in the wardrobe and make his bed. I was patiently waiting outside when suddenly Vera stepped in from the same room Nessa was in, causing me to step back reflexively.I watched as she eyed me despite my heart burning at the thought of her coming from his room. I could smell his scent on her. I had to steel myself to blink back the tears threatening.“What are you doing here? Follow me.” She commanded.

LYRA'S POVRyker ripped my hands off his shirt and kicked me in the chest. The pain from the impact knocked my breath out of my windpipe, and I wheezed. I had barely recovered when someone dragged me by my hair and yanked me to the floor, down the stairs.I screamed in pain as I struggled with a weak attempt to hold my hair and hold the hand gripping my hair harshly from the roots. Then there were the stairs; you can imagine the pain of moving a weak body like mine over a flight of stairs. My scream could probably have travelled as far as the neighbouring pack, and I am certain the entire pack gathered to witness the chaos.In my struggle while in my state, I could see stars in my vision and people’s feet, so many feet…before darkness took me.RYKER’S POVI have been on my push-up workout for the past thirty minutes. My muscles were screaming, and my face was drenched in sweat, but I did not stop to take a break. Three days ago, when I had ordered Lief to throw Lyra in the dungeon, R

RYKER’S POVThe weather was gloomy; the skies were cloudy, but there was no rain. It had been this way for the past week here in the outlands.The tasks had been arduous and demanding. There were formidable opponents at the council, I must admit. We had just concluded the last round of the tests, which was a physical match, and I had just won my opponent. Today was the day when the results would be declared, and although I already knew what they would be, I was still kind of tense.I went to my assigned room with Lief walking behind me, and went to the bathroom to clean up. Whatever the outcome of this process was, I was leaving here tonight.For whatever reason, my wolf was anxious, and it put my senses on alert.I cleaned up nicely, noticing how the injuries I sustained from my fight were beginning to heal. Then I put on a white shirt and black pants and held my suit jacket in my left hand. Lief helped me fix my tie, and we nodded at each other as I silently passed a message via th

RYKER’S POVThe ride back to the pack was quiet; my men were on alert as we left the outlands. We could have stayed behind, but I didn’t want to spend an extra day in the outlands. I had said goodbye to the other Alphas. Some had decided to stay back till dawn, while others decided to leave as I did.Rider had been leaping in my head with excitement. I had asked him to spill the reason for his excitement, but he said he couldn’t place it. Whatever it was, he could feel it in our wolf spirit: that something huge was coming.Since he was vague, I decided to be on high alert, informing my men to be on the lookout as we maneuvered our way out of the wild into the main roads for our pack.By the time we almost got to the pack, it was almost midnight, but the entire pack was alive. Ezren had been informed of the outcome of the Alpha council deliberations, and the pack was in party mode.The she-wolves were in seductive clothing, some clinging to their mates, others standing in pairs as they
