The Darkest Shadows

Chapter 18: Lizzie Tries To Live

~Lizzie’s POV~

(A/N: Lizzie will be like a ghost watching over Ryley’s life. She has to watch everything he goes through. She can feel everything, his feelings and sense everything he can. Other than that she is her own person. Like I said before, if she messes with Ryley’s past she will have to keep reliving it until she learns it fully and learns not to tamper with his thoughts.)

I think Ryley is around the age of five. People are starting to treat him like shit. If this is what Ryley had to live through then I won’t be able to stand living through this. Ryley came home from school and I saw his mom pick him up. He giggled while his mom spun him through the air. I felt how happy he was and I couldn’t help but smile. She put him down and whispered something in his ear. She was looking behind me.

“Go now honey. The alpha knows you are home.” Ryley smiled, nodded and kissed his mom on the cheek. I turned to see the Alpha. He was strong, I could tell. He was tall and had a good build. He had shaggy brown hair and green eyes. Everything you would want on the outside of a guy, but nothing you would want on the inside. Ryley’s mom straightened up and looked the Alpha straight in the eye. He smirked and slapped her, causing her to fall helpless to the ground. I felt rage bubble up inside of me, but it wasn’t coming from me. It was coming from Ryley. I looked over to one of the windows and saw him watching what the Alpha did to his mother. I watched as his eyes went from brown to black and then back to brown. He was controlling his wolf at this age. No wonder he shifted a year before he was suppose to. I turned back around and saw Ryley’s mom getting off the ground. Her eyes were glowing a bright, royal blue. She is the Moon Goddess. Her mate was tortured and killed right before her and her newborn sons eyes. Her newborn son was never to be found after tha- HOLY SHIT RYLEY IS THE SON OF THE MOON GODDESS!!!! I am a royal. Meaning I am a decendent of one of the three goddess. Moon, Water or Earth. Chloe is one and so is Jessie. Holy shit, Ryley and I are going to be one of the three controllers of the supernatural kingdom. I can’t do this, I can barely even run my pack.

I was suddenly brought out of my thoughts by a sharp pain on my face. I looked around and saw that I was in a corner of a room. I looked over to the middle of the floor and saw a bunch of kids ganging up on Ryley. I started walking towards them.

‘LIZZIE YOU CAN’T!!!!!’ Suki screamed into my head.

‘Why the hell not?!?!’ I questioned and then I remembered. I can’t mess with Ryley’s past or I will have to watch over and over again until I understand why it happened to him. I stood there and watched my mate being beaten and abused, in need of someone and I couldn’t help.

‘Wait Suki?!?!’ I screamed just now realizing something.

‘What do you want?!?!’ She snapped.

‘Can you reach Ryley???’ I asked.

‘I can try..’ she said. She blocked me out. I waited for like three minutes. Finally I felt her take the block off.

‘Well!!!’ I snapped.

‘Yes I can, but Lizzie I can feel his worry when he can’t talk with you. He would prefer to talk to you then me. I can’t do this to him.’ she said with a sigh. I nodded with understanding.

‘I understand but I need you tell him that I am fine. He will worry and I know this but he needs to know that I am fine.’ I told her. I felt her sigh and give in. She blocked me out. I looked around and saw Ryley on his bed crying. He had so many bruises and cuts and even scars. I think he is around the age of ten now.

~Ryley’s POV~

I have been sitting with Lizzie ever since she was put in this damned hospital bed. I only leave when I need to use the restroom or eat. I sleep here beside her every night and wake up to her everyday. I wonder what part of my past is she at. Maybe the part where I saw the alpha slap my mom or the part where the kids were ganging up on me in the game room-
