Chapter 28
RILEY:
I hear a knock on the door and it has me standing up from my bed.
"Who is it?" I ask after waiting for a few seconds. I could notice already that the person wasn't ready to open the door just yet."It's Damien," comes the response. "Can I come in?""I thought you're the Alpha. Should you be taking any permission from me before coming in?" I ask in return to his request to enter. And instantly, the door is pushed open.Seeing Damien for the first time since that embarrassing incident yesterday made my heart rush. I still haven't gotten how flushed I was. I won't be surprised if I'm not able to comport myself during his brief stay here — hopefully.My arms are folded across my chest when I say, "Are you here to demonstrate to me again?"He looks me in the eyes for some time, saying nothing. It was like he was trying to gauge my reaction or perhaps he was finding it hard to speak."I'm just here to see you," he finally says, his paRelated chapters

DAMIEN:"I never made these transactions," I say, flipping through the document in my hands. "Any of it. If I did, I would remember.""It says there that it was transferred through the family account to an anonymous one. Which makes it strange to me why there's such taking place," Xavier says. And it was him who upon his arrival today to the pack brought this to my notice."And why would I want to make any private transaction when there's nothing shady I have going on? For goodness sake, I have my personal account to use should in case of any financial transaction."I keep flipping through the document and I see that it was true what he said about the anonymous account. It was literally embedded in every transaction details that the receiver was unknown and it makes me wonder just who it is that's doing this."These are some ridiculous amounts," I point out. "What in the bloody hell is going on?""I think you might need to do a thorough search into the

RILEY:"We're almost there, my lady," Sansa informs me.We were out in the pack area to check on Menya. I told her that I wanted to know how well she was faring and probably see to it that she is well taken care of should it be that things weren't looking good.But I wasn't alone with her. I have two guards behind me who were meant to keep me safe from any harm. Hopefully there won't be anything that will warrant them having to see to my safety."Who's her mate again? Is he a warrior like yours?" I ask her, trying to understand how Menya's bonding was."He was," she says."Was?""Yes, my lady. He was forced to quit after sustaining a life-threatening injury to the neck. Hasn't been much stable since then.""And how did he get such an injury?""He was shot with a silver bullet. It took a miracle to keep him alive."Now that's a strange term I just heard. Isn't a bullet supposed to just be a bullet? What's with the 'silver' in front

DAMIEN:"What did you say you are? Pregnant?" I ask with the intent to clarify what I just heard.She nodded. "Yes, I am. We're going to have a child soon, Damien."A smile was mounted on her face and, to be honest, I wasn't entirely sure what to feel or how to react to the news of knowing that she was with child... With my child.I'm a lot skeptical right now. Maybe even more than confused. I just didn't expect to be hit with this sudden news.She notices my expression and the smile falls off her face. "You don't seem too happy about it," she points out, her voice a mixture of hurt and confusion."Sorry, Carmella, but we've been together for over four years now. In that time, we weren't able to get a child no matter how hard we tried. I'm only surprised that you're suddenly pregnant now.""Do you doubt that this isn't your child I'm carrying?""Not at all. That's not what I'm saying.""Then what is it? Worried that your real mate won't like the news of you having a child with another

RILEY:"Will it change anything?"My voice was as quiet as possible. I'm even surprised that I was able to utter those words because the hurt I was feeling didn't even let me exude the rage building up in me already."Your sorry won't change anything, Damien," I continue to say. "Menya's dead. And if you don't know it already, it's your fault."It took a while before he responded."I know that she meant a lot to you and there's nothing I can do to bring her back. But I promise to look into it. I'll bring the culprit to justice."A snicker escapes my lips. "Justice? You haven't even been able to catch the one person that's been instigating terrors on your land and you think you'll be able to catch the one who killed Menya? Don't make me laugh.""I mean it, Riley. I'll do anything within my power—"I interrupt with a snap, "Enough! Like I told you one time, your words mean nothing to me. I won't be taking the words of the man who has bee

DAMIEN:"What in the bloody hell is my father doing here all of a sudden?" I asked Xavier the moment we walked out the pack hospital where we had gone to make some findings. This was right after I received the report from him about my father's sudden visit."I have no idea," Xavier says."He hasn't been here in years. Why show up now?" I couldn't help but wonder as I tried to figure out what could have brought my father all the way from his private residence down to the Dark Moon."Do you think he came here because of what happened yesterday?"That was enough to make me stop on my tracks."Are you saying someone must have informed him about it?""That's what I'm thinking."I could only think of one person that was the case. There was one being I know that was capable of doing such a thing as this was the first issue of a murder happening in the pack.Instantly, I connect through to my Gamma via the mind link.'Wherever you are, I n

RILEY:"Where did you get that necklace from?" The strange man whom Damien eventually introduced to me as his father queries me a minute after I return into the quarters after Xavier came for me.I look down at the one thing that reminded me of the parents I never got to meet. The necklace that was handed over to me since I was little at the orphanage center.This is the second time that someone would take actual interest in it like it was something significant. First it was Damien. Now his father."My parents," I say in a neutral tone despite my reluctance to respond."And who are your parents?""They are dead. Never got to know them."I didn't feel an ounce of remorse by my statement proclaiming my parents' death. But my claim actually gets Damien's father confused as he stares at me weirdly."How did the necklace end up with you if you never got to know them?" he asks, obviously trying to get the truth out of me. Seems to me that he think

RILEY:"Menya didn't have any enemies, did she? Or perhaps her mate did," I bring that up to Sansa as we both sit in my room with me on my bed and her on the only chair in the room. It actually took a lot to convince her to take a seat."She didn't, my lady. And neither did her mate. I've known them for sometime and I can vouch for them."The conviction from Sansa made me rule out the option of there being a chance that someone she offended only took revenge. But to the extent of killing her? That seems way too extreme."Then what could have happened? Who did that to them?" This time I was thinking out loud. I don't know how prosecutors or the likes go about trying to solve mysteries and crimes."My lady..." Sansa calls out to me while I'm deep in thought."What is it?" I ask."The Luna is pregnant."I raise my brows at that declaration, wondering where that was generated from."How do you know that?" I demand to know, my interest pique
The Alpha's Human Mate Chapter 1
"We can't keep harboring you, Riley. You're old enough to take care of yourself and it will be best if you leave now." Nothing shocked me more than hearing Beatrice tell me that a few days ago. She was the head of the orphanage center that I grew up in. The same orphanage center that raised me since I was a kid after my parents died. Except now they can't afford to keep taking care of me. Like every other day since I was forced to leave the orphanage center, I find myself walking around aimlessly in search of a job or something to sustain me. This was the harsh reality of life I was made to go through now. My legs are weary already from the long walk and I was sweating profusely. I couldn't stop though. I just couldn't. But the sudden sound of my stomach rumbling brought me to the realization that I still haven't had anything to eat all day. It is at that time that I catch sight of a place where people were trooping into. The aroma of cooked food coming from that direction hits my
