Judd Ryder Novels & Stories

From behind, the way his shoulders rose with every breath and the way his muscles bulged, told me how he was desperately trying to maintain a grip over his temper. “Your highness, I-I… I didn’t mean to…” Husky was shaking so badly I could barely make out the words. “I didn’t know…” What happened next was unlike anything I’d witnessed before. Derek let go of Husky’s neck and without a single moment’s hesitation, dug his claws into Husky’s chest. I could practically hear the sound of flesh breaking as Derek pulled out Husky’s bloody, still beating, heart. My knees weakened and I found myself falling to the ground. I never imagined – even for once in my life – that I would ever see someone lite

EXTRA: Ryder: You stink Jake: Why are we still here... just to suffer...

Alpha Wyatt nods in confirmation, “We were on our morning checks.” He is a man of few words. Even in the meeting, I had with Ollie. He wasn’t this tense. I felt sad for Zander. If this was his life growing up … no one to talk to, no father figure to guide him through life … living up to the expectations of being the Alpha’s son and the perfect pact member. “Anyways, we should get going now,” Zander says, dropping his arm from my waist and tugging on my hand, leading me away from the training area back to the parking lot as Alpha Wyatt watches us.

“And they are humans, not near immortals like us. And nobody back in Kilead knows of our whereabouts, and the birds are not with us.” Ryder sighed and turned briefly to look at the men riding with him, then he turned to the other side to see the other two riding back towards them. He faced Xanth. “It’s just a quick trip. We will be back to Kilead in a week.” “One week is too long to keep yourself away from Lyra, Ryder. Did you forget about Iris’ anger towards her at the breakfast table today?” “Iris knows better than to take her life.” He replied indifferently.

I say, about to walk away when he says. "Ryder is dead." I freeze. "What?" "I assume you are here to meet Ryder. Do not bother. He kicked the bucket last night. He OD." I can't find the words to say. Ryder?, That's Rye's full name?. "Who the hell are you, and how do you know?" I sneer. Calm and collected, he says "I'm Konstantino Hades Marchetti Il Terzo. How do I know what? That you're a Junkie, or that Ryder Flynn, one of my worker is dead?"

Ry shrugged, and he wasn't even giving Judah his full attention. "I was hoping to get a sleeve done someday. But it's probably not gonna be for a while. I'm putting all my money on my bike right now," Judah was still enthusiastic in his replies. "You ride?" Ryder's eyes lit up all of a sudden. Oh, right. Ryder was also into bikes. For the first time this entire dinner, Ryder actually looked enthused. "Yeah, a 1993 Ducati Monster. I parked it outside," "Oh, dude, that's a classic," his voice warmed up.

There’s no way this can be a good thing, not with the way she’s smiling at me. My stomach is coiled tight with anxiety when I make my way to the locker room to get changed, and as I’m winding the wraps around my wrists I can hear chatter around the room. I roll my eyes when I hear the name everyone seems to have a hard-on for. Creed Volkov. The Alpha who has won every fight since he established this gym a few years ago. Before that, he used to fight in underground rings and kill every opponent he was faced with. Nowadays, he just maims them completely.

She had fallen hard from the stairs. "We should interrupt, Dee," Ry mind-linked me, but I stopped him. "Wait for a couple more minutes, Ry," though I could see the confusion on his face, he nodded. "I will not do anything wrong, big brother," Ryder said. "Back off, Ryder," the man repeated, and this time, Ryder complied. "Fine, fine... Your values sometimes make me question your identity as a hunter, Jace," he said to the guy, who looked annoyed but didn't say anything further. Ryder once again shifted his focus to Arya, and I could sense she was slightly less scared now.

She was very affected by the situation. I was crestfallen and very depressed. Jared took me back to the cafeteria for a drink to calm me down, but it was not possible. Even he couldn't calm down. He was scared too, he knew his parents would feel bad if they found out about it. Some rumors said that despite being a handsome and desirable boy, maybe he had his imperfections that no one knew about, but he always kept it hidden. No one was supposed to know about it.
