ALPHA RYDER'S FLAVOR.

CHARIA'S POVTwo weeks earlier._________________Our chef ran at full speed into the kitchen and I almost threw the knife I was holding at her. She stopped her chase when she saw me knock down on my knees in panic. "Are you okay?" She rushed over to me but I pushed her, slightly upset for scaring me. "I'm sorry" she quickly apologized before I could say a word."It's fine" I wasn't fond of getting angry and not even at Melissa. She was the only reason I was still surviving in this house, she was my safe space. Getting pissed with her would only be my problem, moreover, she always had a good reason for anything she did. "What happened?" I asked as I struggled to get on my feet."Your father wants to see you, instantly" There was more emphasis on the last word.Fear gripped me immediately. "What did you say?" Like I didn't hear her the first time. She looked terrified too, scared for me. This had never happened before."Is he still with the council?" I asked rubbing my sweaty palm on m

________________________________Time flew faster like it was waiting for my death too. I was about to accept my fate. Alpha Lugard continuously reminded me of my mission and gave specific orders. He was so interested in my downfall - my father, my 'pride'.Melissa was of great help the past few days. Spending my last days with her was a treasure to me, she made jokes with me and made sure I slept happily. She also taught me some biology lessons on releasing my pheromones.She brought in all of Alpha Ryder's pictures she printed from the internet one morning and threw them on my bed."What is this?" I asked her rising from my bed. I had cried myself to sleep the previous night, but she came to my room beaming with smiles. I was forced to let out a small laugh too.Melissa shut the door tightly and locked them with keys. She giggled when she jumped on my bed. "Do you like it?" She asked."Like what?" I picked up the printed photo from the bed and skimmed through each of them."He's so

_With all courage left in me and the decision to finally face death, I opened the door to Alpha Ryder's room. I walked in heads low, a few steps, and closed the door. I gathered all the strength I had to raise my head and looked at him this close.He stood there, our eyes meeting. His alluring beauty had no match or trace. He captivated me in his presence with grace. His charm and wit ensnare me in delight. He was truly how the rumors described. As I admired this beautiful soul, he charged at me with a sublime force, pinning me to the door and holding my neck rigorously. I was scared by his approach and when his claws pierced into my skin, I groaned in pain, but he suddenly soften his grip.I raised my head to look up at him. His red eyes sparked continuously, his face so smooth, his lips…his breath…he was so close to me I wasn't thinking anymore. His eyes fixed on me like I was some sort of mystery. He then touched my lips with his thumb. Not only did my whole body shake, but there

ALPHA RYDER'S POVI, Alpha Ryder, had never been one to lose control of my desires. I was the epitome of self-discipline and restraint, always keeping my passions in check. The rumors in the magazine had a lot to say about me but I knew myself better than anyone. I had pretty and sexy betas around me, who would kill to have me, but I only went for the ones that took my interest. Most of the time, only one beta always catches my eye somehow. But all that changed the day I met the wolfsbane dagger girl.It's been a week and I haven't been able to get over that night where I almost died at the hands of a lady with the wolfsbane dagger whom I knew nothing about and who tried to kill me and still saved me too because she was scared. I wasn't angry at her plans and all I wanted to know was her pack. What pack could behold such special beauty, a special smell that I didn't know about in the city? My mind hadn't taken a rest since that night. I see her in my dreams all the time, her beautiful

Alpha Ryder's POV___________________________The air was thick with the scent of werewolves at Alpha Lugard's house. I could see about four pack leaders as I walked into the living room. Other werewolves approached each other, flanked by their respective packs. The city leader, Alpha Lugard ranked first place has his seat high up, he was one with sleek black fur and I, the second city Alpha, with russet brown, approached each other with caution but also respect for each other's power.The other packs moved away from me recognizing my presence and Alpha Lugard came down from his seat with a shocking glare. As we drew closer, we began to circle each other, the packs watching silently from the sidelines. Despite the tension in the air, there was also a sense of camaraderie among us wolves, as they recognized the mutual respect and strength that existed between the two alphas.After a few moments, we came to a stop in front of each other, hands touching briefly in a gesture of greeting.
