Alpha's Claimed Mate Chapter 112
NATALIE“ My child died when they knocked me down and gave me wolfsbane. ” The first thing she reveals makes me shrink in myself. The foreign agony makes me sick to my stomach and I don’t want to imagine if it’s only a fraction of his pain or if it's everything he feels.“ At first, they planned on blackmailing me with you. They said to me that they are going to make you come clean about something by using me. I was so scared, so I rejected you instantly. ” Britney sighs, rubbing her palms.“ When I rejected you…my wolf died. That’s probably why you all couldn’t feel my presence in the Pack bond either. ” She looks at Ryker who is still standing by my side.My chest tightens as I steal a glance at her face. Her eyes are glazed over, hinting that her mind is traveling to dark places.“ I thought—I thought they will kill me. ” She jerks her head back, blinking rapidly. “ But they didn’t. ”“ Why? ” Ryker asks.My head turns in his direction. He is being too harsh right now. She just to

NATALIEBritney stumbles away from us. Tears roll down her cheeks in waves. Just by seeing the shocked look over her face, I know she will have a hard time accepting this truth.I don’t know why but I feel like stepping away from Ryke. I don’t want to make this situation worse. I don’t want a part in this pit of ruthless guilt.“ How...How is that possible? ” She lets out ghost of a whisper. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I slip my wrist out of Ryker’s hand and step forth.“ I know this is...this is a lot to take in. Believe me. He struggled to get over you. He really did but just like all of us, he had to accept the will of Moon Goddess. ” I speak, somehow, trying to make her snap out of this state of disbelief.“ I-I don’t know... ” She pants.Unconsciously, I take another step toward her. Before I can grab her, she is already falling down on the floor, her head hitting it hard.A gasp leaves my lips as shock overcomes my senses. Zio is by her side instantly. Ryker, too, doesn’

RYKER‘ I don’t feel bad. Her wolf refused to talk to me anyway. ’ Grey grumbles.‘ She was our mate once. How can you be so unbothered? ’ It doesn’t settle well with me that Grey refuses to feel even a little pity for Britney.‘ Natalie and Nyla are worried because of her. That’s all I care about. I am happy with Nyla so never even think about ditching my darling for that weird creature. ’ He sneers before blocking our bond.I press my lips in a thin line, staring up at the ceiling in my office.There is something I can’t understand. This something doesn’t let me believe that those rogues kept Britney alive for so long without telling me, or letting anyone else know. The fact that Britney doesn’t have any injury marks over her spotless body is another troublesome reality. It’s horrible that I am questioning her after she went through so much, solely because of me, but I can’t overlook so many things because I am the Alpha. And I must not allow emotions to overcome my rationality.Th

NATALIEI asked Jake how Britney was when the night fell. He said ‘ Luna is fine. And Alpha is by her side. ’I was so stunned, that I couldn’t utter a word. The rigidness in his body, the change of his respectful stance all irked me out.He didn’t see me as his Luna anymore. I wanted to correct Jake, shout at him, and force him into realizing I was his Luna now, but I didn’t. I stayed silent until he left. And then dwelled in self—pity.When he left, I kept thinking about him before my thoughts drifted to Ryker who was by Britney’s side right now.A part of me continued to scream, shout, and yell at me that I needed to trust him completely. Ryker will never let his old emotions resurface. He didn’t feel anything for Britney anymore, because he had me now.But, I failed to let that part win. The bigger part of me, the part which sensed Ryker’s emotions changing for a mere second when Britney uttered ‘You love me.’, won. That’s why I am here at the infirmary, ready to face the woman w
Alpha's Claimed Mate Chapter 116
NATALIEI know. I know I have to go.So, I turn around and make my way out of there, as fast as I can. Unlike the night when Ryker stopped me, no one comes in my way.I continue to walk, unable to comprehend what has happened. My mind is blank and my body, cold. When I am close to the border, a voice finally calls out to me. “ Natalie! Where are you going? ” My breath hitches in my throat. Tears sting the back of my eyes. I whip around, facing Anne who is rushing to me.“ What’s wrong?! ” She huffs, coming to a stop in front of me.“ I—He doesn’t love me. He—He still loves her. I don’t know what to... ” I sob, my voice breaking at the end.Forgetting what happened between us, I embrace her. The lava cooking inside me, bubbles out in form of tears streaming down my eyes. She rubs my back, letting me cry over her shoulder. I finally know what I feel. It’s like my heart has broken into so many pieces, it’s hard for me to gather the shattered mess. “ Tell me what happened. ” She pat

NATALIE“ You are still here? ” The confused voice hisses from the doorway.I throw him a glare, sulking back on the couch. Anne said she had to go back so she left and I waited for Ryker to come back for three hours straight. I bet he was with that bitch and now he is back, only to ask why the hell I haven’t fucked off already.“ Do you want me to leave? ” I scrunch my nose.He doesn’t say anything. The blue lightens until grey peeks through. As if a force pulls him in, he strolls to me.I get up from the couch and like Anne has asked me to do, I grab his left hand in mine. He shudders, closing his eyes.I inspect him. The change in his expressions is so visible. His muscles have loosened and the rush of emotions down my mind, tells me he has unblocked the connection between us.My heart drowns, a little part of me concluding that it’s all true.“ BabyLove. ” He sighs, snaking his other arm around my waist.Pulling me in, he dives and claims my lips. A groan leaves his throat, invadi
Alpha's Claimed Mate Chapter 118
NATALIEFor a whole week, I stayed close to Ryker. He took me to the office when he left, brought me to visit all the places he had to go to, and carried me back home in his arms when I was too tired. As Anne said, Ryker behaved normally when we were close. He started acting aloof whenever I was away, even for some minutes.I kept him away from Britney all these days. I didn’t let him meet her when she was discharged and sent to Zio’s house. She was so close. I was so scared that she was going to come knocking on our door anytime, but thank Goddess, she didn’t come.During this week, I have tried communicating with Evangelina’s soul, multiple times in my dreams but I always wake up when she turns to look at me. She is burning all the time. When I stare into her eyes, something starts burning inside me too. I feel sad, so fucking sad. My heart hurts even when I wake up in the middle of the night and find Ryker sleeping beside me. It won't be wrong to say that communicating with her is

NATALIE“ That’s right. Love potion is a Compellent. Now we all know I was not lying so— ”“ What are you talking about girl? ” Gertrude doesn’t let Anne finish.My ears perk up, my heart jumping to my throat. I place my hand back on Ryker’s shoulder to ignite the sparks.“ What you are taking a lot of time to tell us. ” Anne growls at the witch.“ If you don’t want to die tonight, step away. ” Ryker warns her.My eyes flicker towards Zero. He hasn’t moved from his spot. He didn’t even flinch when Ryker threatened his mate. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I can tell why Anne hates him so much now.“ Okay. Of course! As you say, Alpha Ryker. ” Anne lifts her arms sarcastically, stepping back from the witch.“ Ryker. ” Britney calls his name in her honey tone.“ Can we please not do this? I can’t deal with this right now. ” Tears shine in her eyes, ready to break the barriers and trace her cheeks.“ They dragged me here from my home. I have to tell them the truth and leave. ” The
