RYLEE Guilt and worry overwhelmed me as I stared at my mate. He had his eyes closed and the burn I'd desperately tried to get rid of, was staring at me. I had been unable to mark him. The dark energy from the burn had been too strong. Plus, I had been afraid of hurting him. It was the reason why I had pulled away from him as quickly as I could. The burn had darkened to the color of soot and my fang mark was nowhere to be found. Entwining my fingers with Vincent's, I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes."I'm sorry," I mumbled. There was an ache in my chest that stemmed from my failure. I believed that if I hadn't tried to convince him to get my mark, I wouldn't have hurt him. I raised my head from his chest when I felt a slight pressure on my hand. Vincent was awake. He had just squeezed my hand a little."You shouldn't be sorry," he rasped, his gaze warm."Are you feeling alright?" I asked, helping him sit up. He rubbed his eye and heaved a sigh."I passed out again, didn'

My name is Rylee Shaw, Luna of Crystal River Pack. I was once an omega who had lost it all and was resigned to fate. However, a certain Alpha found me. He claimed me when I least expected it. He toyed with my heart and captured it. He made me explore a whole different side of me. He made me grow wings and fly. I am Alpha Vincent's lover and mate. I am also his marital spouse and the mother of his child. Vincent's marriage proposal to me is something that brings me butterflies each time I think of it. He had proposed to me at the beach, during sunset. He had given me his ring and a crown of flowers. We had made wishes under the sky full of stars and had almost made love at the beach. Unfortunately, Vincent received an urgent call from the pack and had to attend to an important issue. I was a little upset at first. But, he also made sure to make up for that. Who knew he could be romantic when he wanted to be? Vincent's change was gradual. Despite that, his ruthlessness towards threats

ANDREA My stomach grumbled out loud and I winced, trying to concentrate on seeing the future. My life depended on it. But, no matter how much I tried to read Alpha Blake's future, all I could see was a plate filled with spicy fried chicken. Two days ago, I was punished because I had been unable to foresee Alpha Blake's misfortune. I had been starved and locked up. Now, here I was, doing the same thing I had been punished for.'Concentrate, Andrea. At this rate, you will die of hunger,' I thought. Blurred images began to appear in my mind's eye and I began to focus more of my energy. But, it wasn't getting any clearer. A palm collided with my cheek, causing me to accidentally bite the inside of my cheek. My left ear rang. The force of the Alpha's slap had pushed me to the ground. "You worthless, bitch! Is that it?! Have you lost your prophetic power or are you keeping your lips sealed on purpose?!" He raged, his golden brown gaze pinned on me. Keeping my head lowered, I closed my eyes

ANDREA At this point, I was convinced that Zeke was out for my blood. He either disliked me so much or he was interested in me. He stood there, his green eyes glowing in the dark. "You startled me," I said and he raised a perfectly arched brow."You must be very anxious, especially since you decided to eavesdrop," he pointed out and I clenched my fists. "What's it to you anyway? They are talking about me, not you. I have every right to know-" "Do you think they will go easy on you if they find out that you've been eavesdropping? They already have their suspicions about you. Do you really want to push your luck?" He asked and I turned away from him. He had a point there. "Follow me, let's walk," he said. My stomach grumbled out loud, reminding me of the reason why I had stepped out of my room in the first place. Zeke snorted. "If you're hungry, you should have asked Rylee for directions to the dining hall," he said and I lowered my gaze. "I don't want to be a burden," I mumbled.

ANDREA All eyes fell on me. There were different reactions on their faces. I had the strong urge to disappear into thin air and never return. The visitor had stopped crying and was staring at me with eyes that pinned accusation on me.The tension in the air doubled and I parted my lips to say something, especially when I saw the curiosity in Jared's eyes. The last thing I wanted was for my mate to have more reasons to doubt me. But, before I could speak, someone beat me to it."Hey! Are you talking about that tiny young lady standing there? I think you've got the wrong person. She is Beta Jared's mate. She doesn't seem to be the type that can hurt a fly. Kill another person? I don't think so. You've got the wrong person" the young man who had just spoken was familiar. He was leaning by the gate, arms folded across his chest. He had bright yellow eyes and brown curls with an undercut hair style. I recognized him to be the guy who had first questioned me back in the woods with some sco
