Ice's Pov________________I could feel the warmth of Zara's body next to mine. We had just made love, and our breath had slowed down to a relaxed rate. She was all I ever wanted at this moment. I caressed her hair and whispered sweet things in her ear, enjoying the afterglow of our cozy moment. Maybe she had truly accepted me. I didn't know, but I was glad we were together like I had always wanted all these years. "That was terrific," Zara said, turning to face me with a smile."I know," I replied, grinning back at her. "When you forced Jacob to go to sleep, I knew you needed me" I teasedZara laughed softly. "I thought you would never ask. I was getting tired of dropping hints.""Well, I'm glad I finally got the message," I said, leaning in for a kiss.Let's just say, after being kidnapped by Charia's parents, things had become better for Zara and me, the closeness, intimacy… everything that couples did. A quick throwback to the making ball when Zara refused to attend because she w
Zara's PovI walked out of the room, my mind spinning with the realization of what I had just discovered. Ice was the father of my son, and he had known all along. I felt used and angry at the same time. How could he pretend to be my brother and friend for all these years and not tell me the truth? I wanted to scream and yell at him for what he had done.As I ran outside, I saw Ryder and Charia kissing in the garden, and my anger boiled over. How could they be so happy when my world had just been shattered? I broke down in a loud cry and they rushed over to me."Zara, Are you okay?" Charia bent over and held me up but I just wanted to remain on the floor."This is crazy…" I cried. " I don't know how to feel Charia. How could he do this to me? I've searched all these years. I've hoped…I have been in pain regretting and…it was him all along""I don't understand Zara ""Jacob's father…Jacob's father is Ice""What!" Charia shrieked. "Oh, my God." She held onto Alpha Ryder for some time an
Charia's PovTWO WEEKS LATER_________I had never attended a Full Moon Ceremony while I was with my family. I was always kept inside whenever they went to the forest, but that wasn't going to happen anymore. The Full Moon Ceremony was fast approaching and preparations were being made on time. As Alpha Ryder's wolfless mate, this meant a lot to me, because I had not transformed yet and this was the greatest opportunity to do so. Being with my mate was the last option I had for transformation.The three stages were either to be born as a wolf, shift before or on my eighteen birthday or have a mate who could speed up my process of transformation on the full moon ceremony.Since this was my only chance left, Ryder is taking a lot of effort in making everything I need on that day available. He had promised me that I would shift on the full moon and honestly my hopes were high.If I transformed, I wouldn't be recognized as wolfless anymore, I would either be a delta, gamma, omega, or beta
Alpha Ryder's Pov.When her sticky and mucky white liquid gushed out of her like a faulty faucet, I couldn't control my urge anymore. She was ready, just like she said and I was going to make Charia savor every moment. Charia's pheromones filled the room, her scent strong and beautiful like flowers, her skin smooth and soft and her naked body an exquisite art.I bent over to her neck where I had marked her as my mate and I lick off her new sweat, reminding her I wasn't just anyone, but Alpha Ryder, her mate who she could trust.Her hard pink nipples focused on me and I had no choice but to taste one of them, coiling my tongue around her nipples and sucking them slowly. Charia moaned as she wrapped her hands around my neck. My mouth trailed down her body, her navel, and back to her breasts. As she moaned, I took a little glance at her orgasm face and she still looked beautiful as ever, her eyes closed and her mouth a bit opened like she was trying to catch her breath. Charia's Pov __
Charia's Pov____________There was nothing better than receiving such treatment yesterday from my mate last night after my nervousness for the full moon ceremony. The ceremony was today and I feel anxious but a bit relaxed because I know that Ryder would still love me no matter the outcome of my transformation.When it was evening. All of Blue Moon Pack had already started to gather at the goddess forest where the ceremony was going to take place. We had stayed in our territory away from the Red Moon Pack which was a distance away from here. There was celebration in the air as wolves started to chant for the ritual.The Full Moon was going to be out at exactly midnight and we had to celebrate and be alert before that time. Ryder and I stayed in a tent where we cuddled up for some time and he assured me I would be fine and he was going to protect me.I also spent time in relating with other members of the Blue Moon Pack that barely knew me. It was my first full moon ceremony and I was
Charia's Pov__________When his eyes met mine, I took a step back, my instincts screaming at me to run. But then the wolf did something unexpected. He looked away, back at his meal. He didn't seem to care about me at all but I still whimpered at the sight.I could not believe who I was seeing and why he was a wild wolf. I immediately recalled he was not of this town, but I couldn't quite place why any of the Red Moon Pack would not know that he was a wild wolf. I have never met one but I heard of wild wolves a lot. We feared them and only the Alpha's of a pack were sent on mission to kill them.I wanted to leave and stop staring at Delphi's mate eat another Red Moon Pack member, I wanted to go and say it was none of my business, but I couldn't. That was my sister's mate. He was dangerous. He was dangerous to the pack and to my family.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I realized that I had almost crossed the border line of Red Moon Pack, and that was not something to
Charia's Pov___________Ryder took me back to the pack tent gently. He didnt want me to bother about my father's words. He just wanted me to enjoy my first transformation like we had planned.The howling continued for several long moments before slowly dying down, and I watched as the wolves began to shift back into their human forms. They were sweaty and panting, their bodies trembling with the exertion of the transformation, but their eyes were bright with pride and satisfaction.Alpha Ryder stepped forward, his eyes locking onto mine. "Welcome to our pack," he said, his voice deep and commanding. "May the full moon guide you and strengthen you as you walk with us."I suddenly switched back to my normal self. It was involuntary but I knew with more practice I would do better. I saw a smile on Ryder's face. He was delighted just as I was.I felt a surge of emotion at his words, and I knew that I had found my true family. As the wolves began to disperse, I followed Ryder back into th
Charia's Pov ________ I stood in front of the mirror, nervously adjusting my dress. Ryder stood behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist as he placed a soft kiss on my neck. We were going for a very important visitation today, which had something to do with the threats Alpha Lugard said yesterday. Ryder had assured me all will be okay, but I was still scared because he took the matter very serious . Crossing territory and killing a pack member was a grave offence and we have been charged with something like that and I knew it bothered Ryder even if he didn't want to say it. I tried making a conversation about it, but he wouldn't let me discuss it. I could remember vividly how he fiercly saved me from Delphi's mate and I blame myself for putting him in such a spot. Maybe, if I hadn't run towards the forest or the border, we wouldn't have this problem. "You look absolutely beautiful, my Luna," he said, his voice filled with admiration. I blushed, feeling the heat rising to m
