“ It’s you. It’s really you. I can’t believe this. ” Rhianna squeezes the girl’s arms, assuring herself of her presence.

I look away from Ryker and watch the skinny girl. Indeed, she is beautiful…and alive.

Alive. Am I dreaming? Even the word ‘alive’ sounds strange.

She was dead. She is…

I breathe in, wondering if I am still asleep and if this is all a fucked up nightmare.

“ I…You…what happened to you? ” Rhianna’s sobs snap me out of the daze.

“ Take her to the room. ” Ryker tells Zio.

My gaze switches between them all one by one. I do believe I am about to wake up from the nightmare. It’s enough, isn’t it?

Zio pulls Britney away from Rhianna and grips her shoulders to help her walk forward. Instead of walking with him, she leaps for Ryker, grabbing his bicep, and pushing her body into his.

Pain coils around my heart once more. It’s not supposed to hurt in dreams. When Ryker coils his arm around her waist cautiously, something breaks inside.

My mind hits the low and I am force

    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

    RYKERI stroll to her and take her hand in mine before taking her towards the desk and sitting her down over it. She lets me do that—I am grateful for that.I don’t have the will to fight right now. I feel like a fucking puppet who was made to run around in circles to take revenge for something which never happened. Yes. They killed my child and it’s something I will never be able to forget. But seeing Britney has thrown me off the game, making me ponder over many things.I plop down on the chair, placing my hands over her bare thighs to feel the delicate cold skin under my fingertips.“ You love her. ”My hands freeze close to her knees, shivering slightly. I drag my gaze up to look into her eyes. “ I loved her. ” It’s so easy to correct her.“ You still love her. That’s why you brought her into our home. ” She shakes her head using her ultimate weapon against me.Our home. The words echo in my mind. My hands squeeze her knees instinctively, the sparks running down my skin, calming

    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

    NATALIE He sure knows how to make me throw all rational thoughts out of the wide-open window in my mind. My nails scratch his scalp while I enjoy his so-called wild reaction to my touch. He scrunches his nose and turns me. My hands fall away from his head, shooting to his arm around my waist. My back arches against his body, head falling into his shoulder as he presses my front into the wall steadily. After shoving my hair to my right shoulder, his lips find the mate mark over my neck. Sucking, biting, and licking intensely. I moan, pushing my body closer to his to feel him against me. Ryker unzips my dress, letting it fall and pool around my ankles. Cold air kisses my skin, causing goosebumps to rise all over my body. Judging from the way his hands hurriedly unhook my bra and then pull down my panties, I can tell he is desperate. His lips claim the mark, over and over again. My head spins, my core aching for him. “ I can’t—can’t deal with your teasing shit right now. ” I gru

    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,

    ANNE He darts his tongue out, wetting his thick lips. The darkness of his eyes seems to be shifting like shadows, beautiful but deadly. When I realize how it sounded to him, I try to explain without giving too much away. “ I am not planning on giving potion to Natalie. No, I don’t need to do that anymore because Ryker is there to protect her. ” And that fucker Alpha is there to tell her how horrible I am for what I did too, given that he didn’t let me reveal everything to her myself. “ What do you want from her? ” He remains unbothered, not giving anything away.I observe him for a moment more. His stony jaw clenches, a vein throbbing under it. “ I want her to tell something to Natalie and Alpha Ryker. ” I whisper, detaching my eyes from his smooth skin. “ If you know what it is, why don’t you tell them yourself? ” He avoids the secret and jumps to the question which concerns me. I poke my inner cheek with my tongue, huffing. “ I would have told Natalie myself and she would ha

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

The tension between us three grows and grows until the string is pulled so tight that I think I am going to throw up if he doesn’t say anything to her.“ Ryker, who is she? ” She looks away, asking him once more.My gaze is drawn to my mate who is giving me his whole attention now. There are creases over his forehead. A nerve ticks in his hard-set jaw. I pull my quivering lower lip between my teeth. My heart is thumping against my ribcage violently.“ Britney. ” Ryker sighs at last.I drop my hands by my side and clench them into fists. He is going to lie. I fucking swear I will throw a huge tantrum without giving a fuck about what we agreed upon.Ryker takes his eyes off me, a defeated gleam clouding his gaze. My heartbeat slows down as the calmness spreads. “ When you rejected me, the bond between us broke. ” He tells her while he grabs her hands that were resting over his thighs.I peer at Britne

    End Note

    HEY, lOVELIES! There is only so much that you can fit in a single Author's note so I am writing this end note separately. This book was indeed the most unplanned book I have written but it became the book I hold close to my heart. It's not only because I liked the characters but because I thought you all were connected to this story. I don't like writing sequels of a story but for this book, I made the exception and wrote a separate story for some side characters. I had attempted this for another book before but it didn't work out like this so I am glad that I was able to finish this story in the end. This was also the longest story I have written so I learned a lot from it and you all. Thank you everyone for joining me on this journey and for staying with me to the end! It meant a lot to me and I am expecting that you all will join me on the new journeys too.

    Epilogue

    ANNE ~SEVEN MONTHS LATER Sometimes, it’s hard to believe how a person can change so much. When I look at myself in the mirror these days, I find someone I don’t even know. Maybe, that’s what love does to people. It changes them, or perhaps, it brings the child out of them—the child they hide away from the world in hopes to protect the injured soul. Zero’s selfless love and unconditional support have brought out that child from inside my head. I am surprised to find that she is wounded, yes, but she is in the process of healing. It might take her a lifetime to heal but I don’t worry because I know he is here with me, and he will always be. Even when I was inside the labor room after six months, pushing and struggling to bring life out from inside me, I didn’t fear anything. I felt pain, in waves, and it made me almost pass out. It was the hardest thing I had done in my life, the most excruciating but it was fine because he was there with me. I clenched his hand with each push. I

    ZERO “ I am pregnant, Zero. ” She repeats in a calmer tone. I hear her jumpy, loud heartbeat and try to search for my own. I think my heart has stopped beating. “ I found out two days ago and came to tell you. ” She is saying things. I see her lips moving, her brows jumping up and down, her nose scrunching with each word she is uttering but I can’t make sense of any of it. I am trying to hear my thoughts or the beat of my heart. The shocking silence is making me feel as if I am traveling through space, through the stars and galaxies and universes and it means nothing and everything to me. My heart finally beats. Anne is still saying things and I still can’t hear. I leave her hands. My arms coil around her waist, pulling her flush against me. I don’t know if she has stopped talking or not. I don’t know anything. I don’t want to know anything else. My eyes close as a breath escapes my mouth. My heart beats in my ears as different emotions rush through my head at the same time.

    ZEROWhy did I think she will let me rest?She starts poking my side as soon as I go silent. “ Zero. Talk to me. ” I let out a soft breath and keep my eyes closed. I am in no mood to listen to her tonight.“ I am sorry. ” She pokes my ribs with her forefinger.“ I will never do it. I promise. I will die before hurting you. ” Another poke.“ I know you can hear me. Stop acting like a baby. ” She groans, poking me once more.“ You are annoying me right now. ” I utter.She stops poking me all of sudden. I finally breathe in relief. “ Am I really annoying you? ” She asks in a gentle whisper.The muscles in my bare shoulders clench. I push my arm off my eyes and open them to look at her.It’s fine as long as she is annoying and not hurt. I don’t want to hurt her.“ Anne…” I sigh, not knowing what I want to tell her.She rolls her eyes at me before pushing herself closer. I squeeze my lips, narrowing my eyes slightly.Her lips morph into a sneaky grin. She swings her leg over my torso. He

    ANNEA knock sounds on the car’s window. I yelp, pulling back and glancing at Liam who is smirking.He is unaffected by the rain wetting him. His meaningful gaze switches between me and Zero. I gulp, pushing myself off Zero’s lap and back onto the passenger’s seat.Liam steps back as Zero drives the car through the open door and stops in the driveway. I sigh, stealing a glance at my mate.I thought I was doing things for the better, but I was only running away. It took me only a fucking week to realize I don’t care what the fuck happens. I want him by my side and I can never imagine a life without him.Now, when I am carrying our child, I feel the need to be close to him even more. It’s not just love anymore…it’s also a sense of stability and a family that I seek in Zero. He opens the door and steps out without looking at me. I release another sigh and step out, following him.Liam appears beside me, his wet hair falling over his forehead.“ So you two were fighting. I was right. ” H

    ZEROI have never disliked anything about Anne. Everything she did, every decision she made, every harsh word she uttered at me didn’t matter to me until what she did a week ago.A week ago, I felt the weight of her words pushing me to my knees for the first time. I disliked what she did. And I didn’t feel like following her as she asked.It took me a few hours to finally understand what it was that I felt. I was angry. Maybe no. I was fuming, my blood was running hot in my veins. Just as she had uttered hurtful words at me, I wanted to do the same.I had gone to do just that when I left that place abruptly, but when I reached the Night Walker Pack and saw her, the anger went to the back of my head.I was still angry but taking out that anger on Anne would never happen. Hurting her would break my heart.I realized she didn’t mean anything she said right when she was uttering those words. The thing I disliked the most was the fact that she was not behaving like the usual selfish woman

    ANNEIt takes me a few hours to get to the vampire territory. My heart continues to pump blood at the speed of lightning. The thought of seeing him after what I said that day is killing me but even for my own selfish reasons, I need to know he is doing fine.As I drive the car towards the huge gates of the mansion, the vampires push it open, letting me inside. My heart begins beating faster than before. I turn off the engine when I am in the driveway.Wiping my sweaty hands over my jeans, I open the door and step out only to meet Liam who is rushing to me. In a familiar gesture, his arms are engulfing me in a hug.I sigh, not finding it in myself to get angry today.“ How have you been, sweet Anne? ” He questions, smiling genuinely.“ I thought you didn’t like me anymore. ” I let out, taking a step back.“ Oh, that was some angry banter. Don’t take it to heart. ” He flaps his hand in the air before he is dragging me inside the mansion where his parents await me.My eyes nervously roam

    ANNEHe let me leave. I didn’t waste a moment and left him there. He was better off without me. I should have realized this sooner.A week has passed since that Goddess awful day yet my heart still hurts the same. A little part of me even wanted Zero to follow me. I didn’t think it was this easy to push him away.When I left the vampire territory, I was not sure where I wanted to go. At that moment, Natalie called me and asked me to come to her. She was in pain again but this time, it was labor pain.For some time, I forgot about my misery and stood outside her hospital room as she screamed in agony. Ryker was by her side for hours straight.Her labor was prolonged. Giving birth to a hybrid was hard for her but she survived. And gave birth to a blue-eyed angel. Rhys Ambrose—Natalie and Ryker named their son together.Ryker had stepped out of the room with his baby only when Natalie had fallen asleep under the influence of some potions. My heart had filled with so much happiness for my
