A figure emerged from the shadows, and with swift precision, the figure stabbed him from behind. The blade sinks into his back with a sickening thud. He stumbled backward, his eyes wide with shock as he gasped for breath. His blood spilled all over the floor, pooling around his lifeless body.
Kael quickly released her, letting go of her hands.
Ayla collapsed onto the cold, stone floor, my body trembling as the sound of my ragged breathing filled my ears.
"Leave". The shadow said.
Kael quickly ran out of the chamber.
As the shadow emerged, Ayla beheld a figure. Looking up her eyes met a pair of Emerald eyes. He had dark raven hair and a broad shoulder. One could have mistaken him for an angel.
"Are you alright, you're shaking?". He asked, his voice low and soothing.
"Yes thank you, I owe you one". She replied.
"You don't owe me anything, my lady. It's not safe for a woman to walk around alone at this time of the night". He said.
"Let me assign a maid for you". He offered.
"No, I'm fine really".
"I insist". He said.
She nodded her head in agreement.
He turned to leave.
Disappearing into the darkness, his footsteps echoing softly before fading the dark.
"Who are you". She asked out of curiosity.
"A guardian of the pack". He replied, his voice low.
Leaving her alone with her thoughts. Who was this man?
..................
Ryker entered his chambers where he saw Lylah, his childhood friend waiting for him. Truth be said, he had no intention of marrying her or making her his mate but Lylah lets him fuck her in whatever way he wants to, and he never really wanted a mate.
"Lylah, what can I help you with?". He asked.
"Ryker, I have missed you". She said, her voice husky staring lustfully into his emerald eyes. "I have almost forgotten how you feel".
"Come here, sweet Lylah, let me remind you".
"Not again, stop using her mate". Wolf Lykain growls in his head.
"She doesn't know so shut up" he pushes him to the back of his mind.
Lylah walks slowly to him while undressing. He sat down on his bed, his eyes roaming on her naked body. She had round boobs and her pussy had no hair, it was a smooth flawless surface. She falls to her knees and her hand over the hard bulge in his pants. Opening his pants, she let his hard cock free.
"Does my sweet Lylah want a taste of my cock?".
"Mmmm, yes please, can I".
"Of course, you can, beautiful".
She smirks at him and wraps her hand around his cock, making him growl in pleasure. She teases his cock with her tongue . Ryker put his hand into her silver hair and stand up and begin to fuck her mouth.
He goes fast and hard, he can feel his release building up. Pushing his cock deep into her throat, he cum hard groaning. He pulled out when she had swallowed it all.
"My sweetheart, You are doing so well, today".
"Anything for you, Ryker". She said, smiling.
He smiled at her before pulling her in for a hard kiss. Her hands stroked his cock making it hard again.
"Turn around, bend over the bed"
She fast to do as told, her pussy in full view for him.
"So wet and ready to take my big cock".
"Ryker, please I want all of it".
Without any warning, he slammed into her tight pussy making her scream out from the pleasure as her fingers gripped the sheets tight.
Ryker's thrust were hard and fast, everytime he went deep inside her hitting her sensitive spots as his free hand messaged her left breasts.
The scent of mint hit his senses.
"I'm coming". Lylah moans out. She cum around his cock.
Ryker heard the door open. It was his twin sister, Kaida. She quickly looked away. He slammed into her one more time and released inside Lylah.
Lylah quickly looked up. "Your grace," She said covering herself with the covers of the bed.
"Get out" Kaida replied.
Lylah quickly carried her clothes onto the floor, leaving Ryker alone with Kaida.
"Get a brothel, you dumb fuck". She said.
Ryker stared at Kaida, raising his brows "Next time, try the whole knocking thing. It's a game changer".
"What do you want?".
"Father wants to speak with you" She replied.
Ryker clutched his fist, his vein popping out. He only speaks to him when he wants him to do a favor"Why, what does he need me for".
"How should I know". She replied.
He stared down at his hands, his heartbeat pounding. "I will be down in a minute".
Kaida left the room.
"What does he want from me, why can't he just leave me alone?" He whispered to himself.
...................
Ryker walked into his father's office, where he saw Kaida, his sister, and his father, King Thrain, the king of Aldergrove waiting for him.
He sat down on one of the chairs. "Father, you asked to see me". I said.
"Yes, I'm aware". He replied his voice cold as always.
"Father has a gift for you". Kaida said.
"A gift? What are you talking about". He asked, glancing around and looking for answers.
"You are getting married to Ayla Nightwalker, the daughter of Kieran Nightwalker". His father said.
Ryker eyes widened in disbelief. "I will not".
"The girl is the key to the Nightwalker pack, you will secure the north, and I will secure the reach". His father replied
"No, I won't do it".
