Ryker:I heard the sound of heels clicking as Selene came in behind us. Leading Keiliegh to sit beside me, I ignored Selene’s glared and focused on my mate. She was more important than Selene could ever be to me anyway.I saw the way Arnold ended up looking annoyedly at me to my confusion. What was up with him?Selene sat beside my brother and glared at Keiliegh which I did my best to ignore.And just like that, the awkward, tension filled breakfast began.I kept an eye on Keiliegh’s plate, mindful of her eating a balanced diet for herself and the baby.But as the breakfast went on, I noticed that Arnold’s tense expression hadn’t ceased.I decided to speak up, “Arnold, do you have something to share with us today?”He blinked slowly, and his brows furrowed.“What do you mean? I only wanted us to eat like a family, Ryker. Like the old days,” he replied.I sensed there was still something I was missing but he looked away from me pointedly, as though hiding from my gaze. He continued spe

RomanEven though I had kept a stoic look as Selene raged at me, it didn’t change the fact that I was angry. Keiliegh had chosen not to see me, again. It gave me a giant suspicion that she has been avoiding me, and I didn’t know why.Headed towards Alpha Ryker’s study, I wondered if the Alpha knew anything about it. Was there something he was keeping from me?Ten minutes later I was in the study, my head bowed as I made my reports to Alpha Ryker about the task I was given.“I see,” he hummed from his desk when I finished my report. “It doesn’t seem like there’s been much developments after all. Keep me posted on whatever happens afterward. You may leave.”“Yes Alpha,” I replied, and though he dismissed me, I hesitated at the order, still thinking of Keiliegh.Alpha Ryker must have noticed because he spoke again.“You have something to say, then say it, Beta,” he demanded in a commanding voice.I nodded, unable to hold back against the willpower of an Alpha.“I wanted to ask…” it was h

KeilieghMy eyes were forced open as I felt a burning sensation within me.I let out a whine, twisting in the sheets on the bed and wondering how I managed to fall asleep. What was going on this time? I tried my best to think but my thoughts were like catching sand in my palms.“Miss?” I heard a voice and raised my head to see the maid.“Water,” I called out desperately.She nodded and rushed to bring me the pitcher and a glass, and instead of taking the glass I grabbed the pitcher and began to drink large gulps from it. The water soothed my thermostat as it went down. But it only was a temporary relief.I sniffled, handing the now empty pitcher back to the maid. What was happening to me again?There was a knock on the door followed by the door opening, and before me stood Alpha Ryker.His eyes met mine and I saw his dilated pupils. Just seeing him made me realize how much he was meant to be here.“Ryker,” his name slipped out of my lips and be immediately turned to the maid who look

Roman:“She is having breakfast with the Alphas and Lady Selene,” the mousy-looking maid who I had asked of Keiliegh’s whereabouts responded to me with, before bowing and returning to her duties of taking the towels to the laundry room.I grit my teeth and walked off while the maid walked in the opposite direction. I headed towards the dining hall in long strides, wondering if she was with Alpha Ryker. The thought incensed me to no end, and I increased my pace, not caring whether or not I would bump into anyone.As I neared the dining hall, I came to a stop as soon as I saw saw Alpha Ryker and Keiliegh as they left the dining hall. My eyes were drawn to their hands, linked together.“Alpha Ryker,” my voice was rough, filled with forced calm as I bowed to him. “Rise, Roman,” The man i wanted to kill the most for touching what was mine ordered me and I raised my head and straightened. Without saying anything more to me, turned to Keiliegh and murmured, in a soft voice and find tone I n

Arnold:The sun was high up in the sky when I finally deemed it fit for me to return. My entire body dripped with sweat which stuck my cotton t-shirt to my chest, and left an imprint of my toned abs on it. I didn’t care though. It was satisfying to return from a long spar, and I had utilized three of our warriors to my benefit.Though my entire body hurt from the workout, the sparring had reduced the strange feelings I held to a lower intensity. Now, I had made up my mind to avoid Keiliegh and Ryker for the time being.It was because I, more than anything, wanted to figure out what was going on in me. Certainly it couldn’t be that I was falling for that girl, could it?Entering my bedroom without much fanfare, I jumped into the shower and washed myself off quickly. After that I left the bathroom, walking out nude as the day I was born, and not even bothering to put on a towel around my waist.Water dripped down my body as I air dried, thinking of the prospects of getting some much nee
