Alpha's Claimed Mate Chapter 98
NATALIE The weakness doesn’t go away even when I wake up the next morning and wash up. Searching for Ryke, I go down the stairs and find him sitting on the couch leisurely. Zio is standing in front of him, staring down fiercely. Their eyes are shadowed, giving away their communication through the mind—link. “ Seriously? ” I scoff, capturing their attention. Zio shoots me an annoyed glance which he covers up with a flat smile instantly. Ryke slowly turns to me, his eyes roaming my body before finally holding my gaze. “ You two are doing something secretly again. ” I huff, raking my fingers through my hair. “ And, Baby Love? ” Ryke smiles lazily. “ And I need to know what it is. ” I lower my voice, mumbling. “ You and Zio were not here yesterday night. No one was able to mind—link you two and the rogues were wreaking havoc. ” “ And you killed fifty-six of them. Problem solved. ” Zio claps his hands, chiming in a bitchy fake tone. “ And almost burned one of the few people I con

NATALIEI feel…calm. Strange!I should be livid, ready to turn into some fucking dragon and go suck the life out of the woman who claimed to be my friend yet betrayed me for so many years in secret.But, my feet refuse to move. My emotions cheat my mind, compelling me to stand by the glass wall and stare at the Beta’s house.Fucking rain has decided it’s the best time to blur the world and create a loud enough noise to drown all my non—existent thoughts.“ She slept with someone to pay for the potion? ” A ghost of a whisper slips past my lips.It’s so…unbelievable for me.“ Zero confirmed it. He followed her for a while. ” Ryker answers.“ Her mate? ”Her mate caught her prostituting herself. Can it get any worse?The same calmness reigns over my mind and keeps my eyes glued to the view.“ Is this some kind of calm before the…fire? ” Ryke asks, standing in the corner, his back against the glass wall while his eyes assess me.“ This can not be fixed with random distracting shit, Ryker.

RYKER Little miss pesky is changing. I don’t know if she is growing up or what the fuck but I can see the change. She no longer wants to be the second lead in her own story. She wants to get involved, and shift the flow of her fate. I stare at her sleeping figure. Her skin lights up now and then, giving me unnecessary anxiety. I haven’t felt this cautious towards anyone before. It’s like I am scared she might do something again and then she will regret it. I don’t give a fuck about damages, but I care about her state of mind. I don’t want to see her on the bathroom floor, sitting like a lifeless body. ‘ He opened his mouth. Finally! ’ Zio huffs in my mind, making me jolt up. ‘ What did he tell you? ’ I growl down the mind—link. There were only a few rogues alive after the whole situation and one of them was able to talk. He was hard to break but Zio was up to it for the whole night before he came in the morning and asked me to let him kill the rest of them to scare the bastard i

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

NATALIE“ 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
Alpha's Claimed Mate Chapter 105
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
