Pack Adonis

Chapter 26

When I entered the cafeteria, I fell to the ground with two weights on me. I groaned and saw Rosalie and Olivia's happy faces. I smiled and pulled them into a tight hug. Oh, how much I missed my girls.

"Now freaking way!", Rosalie gushed as the inspected my mark.

"Did Ryder mark you?" Olivia asked.

"Yeah", I blushed.

Rosalie squealed excited and cheered, I rolled my eyes as they helped me up. We went to collect some food and walked to the table. I sat down at my regular table and everybody told me it was good to have me back.

Ella stalked over and grabbed my head, inspecting my mark. Shock went through her eyes, I pushed her off. A evil glint went through her eyes before she stalked to the other side of the table joining Pauline. I noticed Marcus and Ryder were absent.

Until I saw them walking in with Rhyme, discussing something. Rosalie dropped her cup, gawking at her older sister. The whole room was, I smiled at her. Rhyme saved my life, I was forever grateful. I wish I could repay her in a way.

Rosalie shot forward jumping on her sister, not caring about protocol or rules. Ryder didn't see, to mind, because he smiled satisfied. There was something new, something happened.

"You don't smell like...", Rosalie stammered.

"I'm not rogue anymore",

We were all in shock.

"H-how?",

"I saved Ambrosias life, the moon goddess has taken a very special liking into her apparently and cured me",

The moon goddess like me? I couldn't even shift...

"So you'll stay here now with us?", Rosalie asked, almost crying.

"Yes", Rosalie hugged her tighter and we all cheered.

Everything seemed to go right.

/:/:/:/:

I was staring out of the window, the sun was shining and it looked like everybody was outside. I was still grounded, media has I couldn't leave the house.

"Ambrosia", I turned to see Ryder with his team.

"Yes?", I asked.

"Look, if you promise me not to wonder off or go of property, you can go outside", he suggested.

"Of course!", I jumped up in his arms.

A smile turned onto my face and every feeling of a touch we shared was stronger and I snuggled closer to him. I wanted more and all of him. But it was just the mark making me crave.

'Ryder, I want to speak to you now", Pauline interrupted us.

She looked stern and cool. I was the only one who wore his mark, she didn't look happy with it.

I jumped off him and turned to the door, to escape for her terrifying glare. But Ryder grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to him, cupping my face.

"Stay with Rhyme and Rosalie and if anything seems the tiniest off, you come to me. Okay?", his thumb caressed my cheek.

"Okay", I whispered.

I blushed when he planted a kiss on my forehead, my body shivering. The mark was the best thing ever that happened to us. I walked out of the building, but I could still feel his eyes on me.

Ryder pov

I watched her from my office, she was sitting with her friend in the grass, smiling and laughing. Rhyme was braiding her hair, making her look like an angel.

Mate her.

Then I turned to Pauline, sitting in the seat before me. She was awfully quiet. She was carrying a dark composure.

"You wanted to talk", I sat down.

"You marked her",

"She's was dying",

"Felix marked her",

"He's gone", I growled.

Shock went through her and I saw her pale. Did she still care for him? She rejected him.

"It's like she's getting all my guys", she grumbled.

"Peter did that to get revenge on me and you", I told her.

"I could hear his thoughts about her. Do you knew what it feels like? Hearing him think how good she would look without clothes or how soft her lips would feel like-", I cut her off by my growling.

Only we can see mate like that.

"Do you love her?", she asked.

"I realized when they took her from me and I had to worry if she was alive, breathing or hurt, I immensely care for her. So yeah, I love her",

"Do you love me?", she asked leaning forward.

"Yes",

I did.

"Then what are you going to do?",

"I've decided to choose one at the next full moon next month",

"Will you mark me too? You marked her",

"She was dying",

"Mark me",

"I won't",

"Because you love her more!"

"Now, because I don't want to hurt her",

She glares at me, raising form her seat. I never noticed how dark and dangerous she could get.

"And you don't care, you're hurting me?", she demanded.

"Of course I do, if given you everything I possibly can"l I told her.

"We slept together, trice, Ryder. Do you want me to tell her?!",

"Pauline",

"While she was sleeping in your bed, I had you in mine. If you're so crazy in love with her, you wouldn't have done that",

"What are you doing?",

"I'm giving you a choice. Or I can go and tell her how much fun we had while she was recovering, I could break her heart just like that",

'You're acting like a bitch",

"I'm just trying to win the game", she shrugged,

"What's the price?".

'You",

And she walked out.
