70 Vivian's point of view...   It was unbelievable! Where we stopped, we stayed rooted there for almost a minute. Everyone had their gazes fixed in the front while what i desired to see at the moment was only— Ryley's face. He had some of the expressions that I have never noticed on his face.   It was the pain of losing something. Although he did not lose anything but what we could see at the moment was no less than a trauma. It was the worst way of torturing someone, especially a wolf. A mate.   There was Valen wrapped in a sticky web with just her head visible. Her face was not quite visible as it was covered with her hair. The sight was not only shocking but scaring. If not for me but for Ryley. He was seeing her with tear filled eyes.   Even the tree was very much sca

72 Perhaps it was the fear of seeing my friend lose her mate!   Yes, we all knew Vivian was Hazel's mate, but we never considered him important ever. She loved Ryley and Ryley loved her. Both of them were quite serious that every time we saw them we were sure they would make a good pair together.   That is true moon goddess gives you a mate. However, it is also not hidden that if that mate does not suit you or you don't want them due to some reasons then you can choose a mate for yourself. But the emotions and powers will not be as effective as it could have been with your destined mate.   Ryley and Hazel were aware of that and after having a good conversation about it they decided to take their relation on another level. Hazel wanted Ryley and not Vivian. Alas today, just looking at the situation I pitied my friend and Viv

74 "We are here Valen, just a little more. Stay put. Hmm." Holding Valen close near his heart Ryley walked with his shaking legs further.   They were walking on the street leading them to her house. The roof was visible to them. Valen hugged him tight keeping her skull on his shoulders. She was happy. The smile of contention on her lips was worth watching. "Valen." As soon as they arrived at the fence side surrounding the front part of Ryley's house, Jason came hastening to them.   Seeing her father Ryley quickly put her down carefully, he made sure she was not hurt. "Dadda!" Valen squealed hiding her face in his shoulder and burst into tears.   They were being watched by his gang from the window of his room. Ryley saw how Hazel waved at him with a big smile and simply ignored her. Hazel felt bad. Even so she assumed that h

76 Ryley's point of view...    "You are heartless Ryley Shine ... You ruined her life Ryley. If you knew that a mate is very important in a wolf's life then why did you not let Vivian woo Hazel. Wasn't she his mate?"   Valen's words rang in my ears constantly. I came to the highway leading to woodland via running. Shine was getting angrier than I was.    But on a serious note, I wanted to counter him. Yeah, I would love to. Didn't he bother me when I hated Valen! Then now why was he not feeling bad for Hazel.    'That's because it was you who started all this. I have always told you that I feel for Valen, OUR MATE. Your anger on her was so much that you just decided to date another girl over her. So you should take the blame and get everything corrected or else y

78 Coslen Hall, of Alpha Hercules territory gleamed with light. As far as eyes can travel, there were rice rights blanketing the hall.   From the top ceiling to the walls, all of it was decorated like a bride on the occasion of Christmas Eve. Although they were wolves by existence, they celebrated this day with zeal.   All comes from hierarchy, as it is clear. Alpha Hercules Shine celebrated this day every year with great enthusiasm. His mixed beliefs in Christ could be seen just by looking at the decoration of the pack's traditional hall where marriages and other important functions are held.   "Quick quick... The alphas and the others will be here soon." He clapped his palms twice watching his active soldiers do the decoration of the tables.   "Dad, check this starter drink.
