Chapter 34

NADIA

It has been two weeks since I arrived at the Silver Moon Pack and everything has been going so smoothly that a part of me feared that something was bound to disrupt the peace I feel inside.

Every day I woke up enveloped in the warmth of my mate. He would never leave my side unless I had awoken or he would wake me up to let me know where he would be for the whole day. 

And it made me happy every Goddess-given day. I never even dreamt of this because I knew my life was never bound to find this kind of happiness. But the Goddess surprised me when She gave me Riley. I got more than I bargained for.

But I should have leamed from my experience. Good days would not last long, and the past would always return to remind you that life was never meant to be fair, that it would mock you every now and then.

So even if my heart was soaring with happiness, a part of in was waiting for that moment when life would crush me again

I still had an hour to go for my afternoon training session with Jenny, but I was already sweating profusely and my body was tired already. I ended my training earlier so I could shower and visit my mate at his office, and I could spend a little more time with him before my next training, which would be with him as well.

Later today, Riley would be taking me to his outdoor archery range just around the corner from the training ground. He set up an area just for me so I could leam at my own pace and he did not need to touch his own target range.

I was still far from good. My arms couldn’t hold the bow still, and I could only count on one hand the number of times I hit the target face, and it was not even inside the goal.

Riley wanted me to work on strengthening my arms and my grip, so I had afternoon sessions with Jenny. He said it would help in keeping my arms still while I aimed for a shot.

For almost two weeks now, I’ve been trying my hardest, but I just couldn’t seem to hit a goal.

But Riley has been patient with me. He had never snapped at me for being lousy. In fact, it seemed to me that he didn’t care at all that I wasn’t hitting anything at all. He was more focused on getting his hands all over my body while he was training me than fussing around about my missed goals.

He never pushed me hard enough to hit the target. It was probably the reason I couldn’t hit anything at all because his touch and his smell were distracting me.

I smiled despite myself at the thought of him as I turned the corner and approached the pack house grounds, only to be left stunned at the sight of a car parked in front of the house. This was it.

Reality was here to remind me that I could never run away from my past. My heart thumped loudly in my chest as I sprang inside the pack house, my feet rushing in towards Riley’s office. in front of me as my body stood frozen by the door.

Elliot.

What was he doing here?

All eyes in the room flew in my direction, but my gaze was stuck on the man I loathed the most. I felt my eyes water as his mouth slowly tugged into that evil grin he would always flash at me before he turned his whole body around to face me.

RILEY

“Alpha, a man named Elliot Castello is asking permission to meet with you. He said he’s from the Moon Stone Pack and he knew Nadia.”

I was just listening to my Beta as my eyes continued to scan the documents in my hand, but my ears perked up the moment he mentioned Nadia’s name.

“How did he know Nadia?”

“Tristan said he claimed he was Nadia’s fiance.”

The monster

For the past week, I’ve been discretely looking for this man, but I couldn’t even get his name. And the only person who could provide me was being held in one of Darvin’s cells, and I didn’t have the audacity to ask for Darvin’s help after he had already laid out the punishment I wanted for him. And I didn’t want Nadia’s uncle to know that I was looking for this man.

But now he’s here. It only meant one thing – he still wanted Nadia.
