Alpha Ryder's Pov__________________________________I, Alpha of the pack stood at the head of the table, surrounded by my most trusted advisors and guards. My expression was grim as I addressed them, and I put the little boy Jacob to stand on the table too as I spoke. He had been in my care since none of his people were around. Emily wanted to know where he was from, but since she had found her mate, I had been acting awkward toward her."I want every female wolf with the name Charia found and investigated," I said firmly. "We need to know the pack she is from and any other information that might be relevant."The guards around the table exchanged glances before one of them spoke up. "Alpha, that's a tall order. There could be dozens of wolves with that name across the packs.""I know it won't be easy, but it's crucial," I responded. "Charia is a name that isn't as common and it might be a clue if we knew the origin of the name to lead us to a selection of different packs and to make
Alpha Ryder's Pov__________________It was ridiculous to know how much effect Charia's well-being had on me. I had been a mess for the past few days. Extremely worried about her health, searching thoroughly for her pack and keeping my distance from Emily who used to be my support buddy.I visited the hospital twice daily and I was certain if there was no destruction during the visiting hours, I would have loved to stay with her during her tough times. Seeing her lay there in a coma hurt my feelings and all I wished was for her to wake up.At this point, I think I needed her scent before going on my daily activities because there was so much peace and comfort in holding her hands and smelling her at the hospital. Such a sweet angel.I have gotten used to talking to Charia even when she wouldn't respond. All I wanted her to hear was, none of these was her fault. Her born wolfless, her parents and pack maltreating her, her mission to slay me, the compassion to save her friends from her
Charia's Pov_______________I opened my eyes to the sound of beeping machines and the sterile smell of a hospital. It takes me a moment to remember why I'm here. I killed myself. My heart raced as I tried to move, but I find that I can't. I'm trapped in a hospital bed, wires and tubes attached to my body.Suddenly, the door opened and a doctor and nurse rushed in, their faces etched with worry. "Oh my God, you're awake!" They exclaimed, so excited.I tried to speak, but my throat felt dry and scratchy. The nurse handed me a cup of water with a straw, and I take a small sip, grateful for the relief."How long was I out?" I managed to ask, my voice barely above a whisper."Three days," The doctor replied. "You were in a coma."I felt a surge of panic at the thought of being unconscious for so long. "Am I going to be okay?" I asked, fear lacing my words.The doctor took my hand, her grip firm and reassuring. "You're going to make a full recovery," she said with a small smile.Relief was
__________________________________Alpha Ryder's Pov______I got home with so much excitement after Charia had held onto me today. Although she was not fully awake I was happy all my words paid off. I had a feeling her spirit was listening, somehow. I just wanted her to wake up.Peter welcomed me with excitement too as I walked into my living room. "Good news," he said. "We found the Melissas"My heart lifted with joy as I tapped Peter's back and took a seat. "Are you for real?" It seems the moon goddess luck shone on me today."We have a total of thirty packs with Melissa as their members and we have a total of ten packs with Melissa as their maid. Since Ice's description goes with a servant, I suggest we go for the maid's investigation first""That is very good. Ten is a good number to work on. What are the pack names?""Okay. Here's the list. Red Moon PackDanri Dark PackClover Howl PackLock Heart PackNight Shade PackMoon Valley PackLitha Moon PackGreen Moss PackBlue Rock
Charia's Pov____________It took me by surprise when Doctor Tessa rushed into my ward and said Alpha Ryder was here to see me. It was very late and visiting hours were over. I had to pretend to be in a coma once again. Why was he here so suddenly?, Did he find out I was already awake?Doctor Tessa set me up again and in a few minutes, Alpha Ryder rushed to my bedside. He spent some minutes burying his head in my lap and sniffing me.I wished I could rub his head and tell him I was fine."Emily found her mate," he said again.It looked like it hurt him that Emily found her mate and I didn't blame him for that. From their childhood, they had always been together and grew to think they were mates, they even had a fan page, which I stalked, of course, just Alpha Ryder and Beta Emily were the talk of the city, the hashtags couple, but now Emily had found her mate. If the press carried the information, that would be the gossip of the whole city."He fucked her in front of me" Alpha Ryder
Alpha Ryder's Pov______________The sun was setting, and the air was crisp and cool. Werewolves from all over the region had gathered in the open field outside my pack house set yesterday by Aunt Hannah for the annual mating ball. The atmosphere was electric, and the anticipation was palpable.As the guests arrived, they were greeted by all Alpha's pack members, who checked them in and directed them to the main event area. The venue was a massive tent, illuminated by lanterns and fairy lights strung across the ceiling. The music was already playing, and the dance floor was bustling with excited singles, hoping to find their mates.At the front of the tent, a raised platform had been erected, where the influential Alphas and his family would be seated. It was an honor reserved only for the most influential Alphas in the region, and it was a testament to the power and status of the host pack.Alpha Lugard arrived early and made way to his special seat, the Alpha, a towering figure with
Charia's Pov_____________I felt better getting out of the hospital or let's just say, I was eager to show up for Alpha Ryder. He let out his feelings to me and the little I could do was be there for him after he saved me. I walked into the mating ball hosted behind Alpha Ryder's mansion. I covered my face with a little veil and truth be told I was extremely nervous to be here. I was scared to see any of my family members here and I didn't want to make a scene or put my life in danger. All I wanted to do was sneak in and see Alpha Ryder.As I walked on the little sidewalk where the party was not mainly hosted , I could see the Alpha platform from a long distance. I didn't want to go into the spotlight where the influential Alphas were, and I needed to get Alpha Ryder's attention also, so I hung around for a bit. After some minutes seeing that there was no way to get Alpha Ryder's attention. I walked into the mansion where I saw Peter and some other guards and maids. I didn't want
Charia's Pov____As Alpha Ryder pulled away from me, my lips were hot and jittery and I had to bite them to ease my nervousness. I didn't ask why he kissed me, I wanted it too. Honestly."When did you wake up?" He asked me "I...some days ago?""What?""I told Doctor Tessa not to tell you I was awake. I just didn't believe you saved me and checked up on me every day""Wait...so you...""Yes, I listened to everything you said to me" I laughed and he chuckled in embarrassment."Seriously Charia, you weren't supposed to hear that" I saw a blush at the corner of his lips which made me giggle hard till my stomach hurt."I wanted to be here for you after you talked about Emily and I begged Tessa to let me come"He paused and looked at me for some seconds before saying. "Thank you" softly."I saw Ice. He's fine, I thought...I'm so sorry I tried to kill myself, I couldn't think of a better solution""Don't do that again. I almost went crazy"You can't tell me any of his words don't affect me
