NATALIE

Desperate to escape the voice of my sister, I thrash and break free of the nightmare.

The bright light in the unfamiliar room hurts my eyes. I have to blink a few times to adjust my vision.

The first face I see is of Anne. I can see her mouth moving, forming words. But, I can’t hear her.

There is a constant ringing in my ears which increases in volume, the more I try to listen to what she is telling me.

I feel the light ache in my body but the suffocating throbbing in my side and my head is gone.

“ C…Hear… ” Anne’s words become a little clear.

The next face I see if of Giana. She rushes by my side and pushes Anne aside so she can talk instead.

Confused, my gaze switches between them both.

Giana bends down and takes hold of my shoulders before shaking my body. I snap out of the daze. My hearing ability comes back in full force.

“ Are you fucking alright? ” Giana’s screeching voice makes its way up my ears.

I hiss, closing my eyes. “ I can… ” hear you.

And my throat feels like

There he was trying to fuck you against your will and instead of asking me to kill him…like you should have… ” He inches closer, letting his lips touch mine in a feathery touch. “ you asked me to let him go. ”My breath hitches in my throat.

I swallow and glance up in the deep ocean.“ He put his hands on you. ” He retorts, sounding dangerous.“ He… ” There is nothing else I can say.My body shudders when he tigh

Luna. ” She throws me a polite smile.As a formality, I return her gesture when in reality, I feel so awkward.“ I think it will be better if Luna rests for some time, Alpha. ” She turns to Ryker.“ Get back to work Luciana. ” Ryker dismisses her coldly.The woman leaves our way, letting Ryker haul me out of the huge infirmary. I glance at the woman from over my shoulder, knowing she must be the pack doctor.“ Why must you be so rude? ” I mumble under my breath.Ryker doesn’t answer. Instead, he releases my wrist and intertwines our fingers. I glance down at our hands and let out a sigh. He knows how to shut me up without even saying anything.“ Where are you taking me? ” I question, walking beside him.I can’t help but notice the way he walks, without making any noise with his feet. It’s as if he floats in the air, swift and sneaky but powerful nonetheless.“ Home. ” Ryker hums lo

I shift from one foot to another uncomfortably.“ Come here. ” His voice sounds tired and burdened.Now when I can finally think rationally again, I can’t help but notice certain things. The look on Ryker’s face and the way he is acting…is almost like he is hesitating or guilty.About what? I can’t tell.I approach him with small steps. He grips my hand and makes me sit on his lap like a child.I gasp but don’t struggle to get out of his hold when he wraps his arm around my waist and rests his head on my shoulder. He brings his right arm forward and places his hand over my thigh, stroking my skin from over the cloth.“ I have to initiate you into my pack, love. ” He whispers in the crook of

Take both my friends there. ”“ You don’t understand. ” Anne huffs, folding her arms over her chest.“ I understand. ” I glance her way. “ But, it’s between me and my mate now. ”I am saving you from his wrath, idiot! I don’t think she can see the deranged look in Ryker’s eyes right now. It’s almost as if he is on the verge of losing control and snapping Anne’s neck. I don’t want that. And if things escalate…I am not sure anymore if Ryker will listen to me and spare her life.“ Come on, ladies. Let’s leave them alone. ” Zio gets up, chiming as if a bomb hasn’t been dropped in the living room a few moments ago.With my blazing eyes, I try to convey the silent message to Giana who is staring at me, her mouth agape.“ Go. Rest. ” I whisper assuringly

Ryker looses a dry breath and plants a kiss over my nose. “ You don’t hate me. ”Arrogant Bastard!I continue glaring at him. Tears stop flowing down my eyes and rage takes over. I hate how he knows about my emotions and still plays with them.Ryker caresses my navel from over my dress. Jolts of electricity rush down my body, heating my blood.“ I won’t forgive you for this. I will hold a grudge and I will stab you in the back when the right time comes. Don’t expect me to be loyal after what you have done to me. ” I rant, feeling his hands all over me.Ryker presses a firm, lingering kiss over the left corner of my lips and smirks down at me. “ Will this be enough to make it up to you? ”“ No. ” I deadpan. “ Tell me the truth…It’s the only thing which can make me forget what you did. ”I know he has a reason. A reason he is reluctant to share with me. Because he doesn’t trust me.“ Like I s

    RYKER“ I told you. It was a horrible idea. ” Zio sighs.“ I don’t recall you saying that. ” I shrug my shoulders, glaring at him from the corner of my eyes.“ Okay. But we risked Luna’s life and didn’t get anything. ” Zio lifts his hands in surrender and complains again.I know we got nothing. I want to bark at him but I am not in the mood.My mood is ruined because of what my little miss pesky said. She will reject me? Fucking reject me? And then what?My nose flares when I recall the determined look on her face. I made her doubt herself when I said she didn’t mean it. But the truth is that, I could see the promise in her burning eyes. She meant every word of hers and that’s what made me want to snap her neck but…I like her cute little pussy too much to kill her.On the other side, Something had tried to escape out of her body again. Her wolf is surfacing and I don’t know why she can’t just shift yet.“ What about the witches? ” I question, staring at the North Forest Pack’s border

He sent the same two men to look after me or more like keep an eye on me that he sent when Enzo took me. “ What’s your name? ” I question, putting the mug down on the coffee table.“ Jake Houston.

    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

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
