NATALIEI can’t believe this bullshit. That jerk left without even telling me where the fuck he was going right after the pack was attacked and the danger still lurked.Besides, he promised to accompany me everywhere and I woke up to find out that he was gone.My energy was back, not to its full extent but enough to make me want to burn his whole fucking house down to get back at him.I sip on my smoothie which Rhianna has made to calm me down. My glowing skin scares the shit out of her and everyone else.“ When is he coming back? ” I place the glass down, not so politely, and question her.She gives me the same cheeky, sunshine look which is getting old by now.“ If only I knew, I would have told you yesterday. ” Rhianna slumps down on the kitchen stool, turning to face me.It’s been two days already. And he hasn't returned. To make things worse, I keep feeling miserable now and then. I am sure it’s his emotions and it’s making me worry about him.What the fuck is going on with him t

RYKER“ Don—Don’t reject me. ” It hurts me to even hear her saying this. I am surprised how I didn’t consider rejecting her at all. Yes. Britney is back and all but I still can’t bring myself to think about leaving her or letting her go.“ I am not going to reject you. ” I tell her, hoping it’s enough to say this once.“ No. You—You are going to reject me now that she is back. ” She rubs her nose against my shirt, crying loud as fuck.“ No. I am not doing that. ” I pat her back softly.She pulls back all of a sudden and looks at me with her burning amber eyes. Here is it — Misery turning into anger.“ You must be so happy. All you wanted was her and she is alive! ” She jerks out of my hold, taking a step back. “ And now you are going to throw me away because I am of no use to you. ” “ I have no intentions of throwing you away. ” I growl, frustrated with this turn of events because I don’t know how to react, what to do.One thing I am sure of…is the fact that I will never reject her

NATALIE “ Did she go to North Forest Pack? ” I ask Ryke who is sitting on the chair in front of me. The patrol guards informed Zio that Anne left the premises. They tried to stop her, but she didn’t stay. Zio mind—linked Ryke and told him about her departure. Now, he is texting Zero to check up on her. I feel awful for what I did. I decided to deal with her calmly before, but she appeared at the worst time, and I took my anger out on her. For the first time since I figured everything out, I feel like my actions were unfair. Anne didn’t deserve this. “ She just arrived. ” Ryke nods, taking his eyes off his phone’s screen and peering up at me. I sigh, my shoulders loosening. Thank Goddess! “ Why did you ask her to leave in the first place if you were going to be so worried? ” He is back to his usual self, so it’s not shocking, that he is mocking me. I groan, placing my palms against the desk’s surface. “ I didn’t know she was going to leave if I asked. ” “ You are weird. That

ANNEI can’t believe she asked me to leave. Does she not know why I did this? She must have recalled how I stressed she was going to die, but what did she do? She called me a power—hungry bitch. So, I had to get rid of the root of the problem because the troubled idiot refused to listen.After everything I went through to ensure Natalie’s survival and safety, she simply asked me to fuck off instead of giving me a chance to explain.I was shocked and regrettably heartbroken. But not enough to hide in a corner and cry for days straight or to run away.That’s not me.I have a knack for fixing things when it comes to two bitches haunting me. A long—long time ago, I was going on the right path, hating all the people in power and wanting to be someone as powerful as them, but the day I overheard the conversation between that twat Alpha and useless father of Natalie, I realized I was scared of losing her or Giana. They were the only people in my life who stood up for me, tried to protect me,

NATALIERyke took me back home and Zio was already waiting for us in the living room. Britney was sleeping in her room so no one needed to be by her side.“ Get something out of the Beta. ” Ryke commands Zio as soon as he is close to him.He could have mind—linked him but he didn’t because he wanted me to know what they are doing now. Ryke has informed me about the whole rogue situation. He has also told me that they caught the so—called Beta, Maxwell of the strange rogue pack.“ I should stay here and look after Britney. ” Zio sighs, disregarding what his Alpha is saying.I think this is the first time I have ever seen him talking back instead of uttering ‘Sure Alpha’ or some other nasty remark before getting back to work.I wrap my arms around myself, watching him closely. Is Britney’s return going to become a problem bigger than I am anticipating? The cruel question is pounding at the back of my mind for a while now.“ Zio. She is at my house. She will be fine. ” Ryke assures him a
