Thank you again for all the gems. You spoiled me with your generosity. We are number #1 and it only happens once in a blue moon, so I'm enjoying this while it lasts! And again, there are still many things to come. Each scene and parts are relevant to the story, so just hang in there - and let's trust where the story is going. ♡
NADIA. Katarina is here. I dropped Riley’s hand without a warning and ran towards the pack house. "Katarina!" I was shrieking in excitement. I didn’t even know where I would find her, but I just let my feet take me where they wanted to go. 'Careful! You might fall flat on your face!' Riley’s mind was linked with mine, and I could hear him chuckling at the other end. I giggled, but I didn’t answer him back as my feet hurried towards the big receiving area on the other side of the house. I was excited to see her. She was the only part of my old life that I didn’t want to throw away. I found Katarina sitting on the big couch, flipping the pages of a magazine. I stopped by the entryway, catching my breath before calling her attention. "See something that you like?" I asked, hands on my hips, and I watched her head snap in my direction. It took a while before she started shrieking and hurriedly ran toward me. "Oh Goddess, Nadia! I’m so happy to see you! I thought I would never see
BETA DOMINIC. "Where exactly are you taking me?" Sofia turned around abruptly without any warning, and her face bumped directly into my torso. "Ewww! Your sweat!" She grunted as she wiped my sweat off her face, and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She was exaggerating. We have barely walked for thirty minutes now, and although I have sweat, it wasn’t enough to soil my shirt. "Don’t worry, I showered this morning. So it’s a fresh sweat." I pulled out a handkerchief from my jeans’ back pocket and wiped her face with it, which she didn’t appreciate because she pushed my hand away like it was on fire. "Don’t touch me." If her snarl could kill someone, I would probably be six feet under the ground now. "You’re too whiny for a seventeen-year-old. You complained of sweat and now I am taking it off. You're still complaining." "I don’t know where you used that cloth." She glared at me as she fixed her long wavy locks into a ponytail. "Excuse me?" "Never mind. Where are we now? And
RILEY. "I just don’t feel that I am ready to be a Luna just yet. Give me a little more time, Riley." Her words keep ringing in my head. I wanted to understand her, but a part of me felt that she didn’t want to be officially a part of me. But I didn’t voice my concern. Maybe she just really needed time to get used to everything. So I tried my best to shove off any bad thoughts running in my head, especially the one telling me that she didn’t want to stay here for good. "Do you want more?" Nadia asked, snapping me out of my thoughts, and my eyes darted to her, meeting her dark brown eyes before I lowered my gaze to my plate. I didn’t even notice she had been placing food on my plate. "More…" I smiled at her and she obliged, placing more meat on my plate before covering it with sauce. "Thank you," I told her in a low voice, and she just smiled back at me before placing food on her plate. Lady Katarina and Lady Sofia stayed for dinner, but my Gamma couple were not with us since it
NADIA. Tonight was a full moon, and I stood beside Riley, watching as the male pups about to shift crumbled in agony. I remembered my own shifting, and although Alpha Darvin and his Gamma were there, it did nothing to ease the pain. And I honestly had no idea if I should be doing anything or something to console or help them. This was one of the reasons I didn’t want the Luna ceremony yet. I had no idea what the title entailed or what was needed of me. All my life, I was just told what I needed to do, and when I did something wrong, I would be punished. And I didn’t want what I had with Riley to end this way. I didn’t want to disappoint him. I didn’t want him to change his mind about me just because I couldn’t perform well as a Luna. So I took learning things seriously. I had spent my days learning about the pack, how big the territory was, the traditions and customs, and the people. But somehow, it felt like what I was doing was still not enough. And I have to do more. "Shou
NADIA. After one round of mind-blowing sex, we decided it was time to head back to the pack house and continued our tryst in our bedroom. Because as soon as Riley spent himself on me and poured his seeds into my womb, we caught the scent of the wolves approaching and rolled over behind the bushes and hid. I was pretty sure they might have smelled sex in the air and sensed our presence when they passed by. And I couldn’t help but giggle as I got more aroused. The thought of almost being caught was exhilarating. As soon as the pack passed by, we shifted into our wolves and took a different route back home. We went in by the back door, and as soon as we were in the corridor leading to the stairs, Riley lifted me up off the floor. His hands cupped my ass and coiled my legs around his naked waist before crashing our lips and bodies together. We were kissing and biting, our hands busy tugging hair and skimming over each other's naked bodies as he made our way up to the fourth floor.
RILEY. "The agreement is between me and Darvin. That’s why I didn’t want any emotional attachment." A smug smirk was plastered on his face before he pointed a finger at me. "And you will never know anything about that." "Fuck you." He laughed before shaking his head. "I’m fucked up already. So how was it with your mate? And do you still think of Andrea?" My forehead creased at the mention of Andrea. "Let’s not mention the other female. I don’t want any trouble with Nadia. She’s totally out of the picture and my focus right now is my Luna." "You’re smitten." "Do you have a problem with that?" "No. Of course not. So tell me, is sex more explosive with her than with Andrea? " "Shut the fuck up! I didn’t have sex with her or all the other females. I’m not a walking hormone, like you and Jacob." "I still don’t believe you. But do you like her?" "I do. She’s perfect." "Do you think it will come to a point where you will just lose interest or un-like her?" "No. I don’t think so."
NADIA.My heart was clenching as I watched Riley in combat with one of his Elite warriors in a makeshift arena at the training grounds.I have always seen him during training and when he did boxing on his own at the gym. If he was looking sexy during those times, they were nothing compared to how my mate looked right now. He looked like a god with his sweat glistening over his naked torso. His face was showing his animalistic side, and I wouldn't deny that the sight of his fierce side was making my core throb. He was really hot and I couldn't believe he was mine.I flinched and almost let out a gasp when he was hit on the jaw by his opponent, but it didn't make him falter or even lose his stance. Instead, he countered the attack and in just a second, the warrior who was also showing mastery of the skill was already on the ground. 'I can feel your emotions here, my love. Don't be terrified, I'm okay.' He reached me through our mindlink, and I could see him winking at me from a distan
NADIA.I didn’t have a training scheduled for today, so I spent the whole afternoon with Katya. We talked about Zahra, Riley’s mother, as well as other things I needed to learn as a Luna.Before I left today, I told her that I thought I was ready to have the Luna Ceremony even if I didn’t think I was capable of being one. She hugged me tightly and told me that I didn’t need to worry about being capable, because this was my fate and that I was meant to do this. And that she would be there to help me as I transitioned as a Luna.And I couldn’t be more thankful for her. I couldn't wait to tell Riley the news. I was hoping he would get excited as I did.I was almost at the packhouse when I tried to reach Riley. His mind was closed, but I just shrugged it off. He might be too busy with work and didn’t want to be bothered.I parked the car I was driving carefully to the big parking space Riley allotted just for me since I was still having a hard time parking in a tight space. It’s been da
