Pt 1
Ria was extremely happy that Rath and Isabel had managed to escape the special unit. Noticing how close they seemed, she felt dread in the pit of her stomach. Rath embraced Ria holding her close to his body. Michael wrapped his arms around Isabel’s body bringing her close to his body. Holding her tightly in his arms, he couldn’t help but notice the new closeness between her and Rath. He shook his head swearing that his mind was just trying to play tricks on him. Isabel looked up into Micheal’s brown eyes hoping that he would understand what Rath and her had to tell him and Ria.
Rath unwrapped his arms from around Ria’s body and motioned for her to sit down. Ria sat in the chair and watched Isabel unwrap her arms from around Micheal’s body. Isabel motioned for Micheal to sit down. Michael sat down in the chair not too far away from where Ria was sitting. He looked away to find that Isabel had moved to where Rath was standing. Rath looked at Ria begging her with his brown eyes to listen to him. He knew what had happened when Micheal had found out about his destiny and he had no intentions of following his destiny.
“Isabel n Iz figured da best way ta tell ya n Micheal what we discovered was ta tells ya together,” Rath said. Ria blinked in surprise wondering what they were going to tell them. She glanced over to where Micheal was sitting, trying to read his reaction but all she saw was his stonewalls. “We was told dat da two of pods were switched, mine n Michael’s pods,” Rath said.
Ria blinked in surprise, hearing the words switched pods she knew instinctively where this was going to end. “Isabel is your destiny,” Ria said. Rath nodded his head yes and was about to tell her that he didn’t care about his destiny.
Ria pushed back her chair and stood. She walked out of the room without looking back. She heard him yell, “Ria!” Rath started to go after her when Michael pushed back his chair. He looked at Isabel for a moment before turning to Rath. “Ria is not going to listen to you right now to her this is destiny all over again,” Michael said. Rath stared at Michael knowing that he was telling him the truth. He glanced at Isabel to see what she thought. Isabel nodded her head yes knowing that Michael was telling Rath the truth.
The silent communication between Rath and Isabel didn’t go unnoticed by Michael. “I’ll go talk to her,” Michael said. His mind was spinning from the news that his pod had been switched with Rath’s pod which meant that Isabel was not really his destiny but Rath’s destiny. He quickly walked across the room and out the door. Isabel stared at the door Michael had walked out for a moment before walking over to Rath. She wrapped her arms around his waist trying to seek comfort from him and give him comfort in return.
Rath wrapped his arms tightly around Isabel’s body knowing she felt like her world was being torn apart. He knew this because he was felt like his own heart was being ripped out of his chest. ”Michael will talk some sense into her,” Isabel said. Rath knew in his heart that Ria was no longer in love with Michael but was hurt that Michael was the one going after her. He unwrapped his arms from around Isabel’s body and walked over to the window. Looking out the window he saw that Micheal had caught up with Ria.
Michael grabbed Ria’s wrist and forced her to stop. Ria turned around and looked deep into Michael’s brown eyes. “You are just going to leave,” Michael said. Ria nodded her head yes and remained silent. “You are going to runaway because Rath has another destiny?” Michael asked. He was silent telling her with his brown eyes that he was waiting for an answer. Ria pleaded with Michael to understand as she said, “I can’t do it again. I can’t lose someone to destiny.” Micheal slowly nodded his head yes knowing that she had been hurt deeply when he had been told his destiny.
In the back of his mind Micheal thought, Destiny was a lie. “How do you think I feel Isabel is my wife,” Micheal said. Ria could hear the sorrow in his voice which was reflected in her green eyes. “I was on borrowed time anyway,” Ria whispered. “What?” Micheal asked in a shocked voice. Thinking something was wrong with her that either Zan or Max could fix he said, “Max or Zan.” Ria cut him off and said, “I was waiting to tell Rath but now I just can’t. My time in the city is over I must go home.”
Michael let go of her wrist his mind spinning while wondering what she was talking about and why she would need to go home to Roswell. Ria turned around and started walking away from him. Michael blinked in surprise and quickly ran after her. “Go back,” Ria said. Michael shook his head no and said, “I’m not going back without you. We can hear them out together.” Ria sighed while walking slightly faster. Michael walked faster and said, “Ria you are starting to freak me out.”
Ria turned the corner and stopped when they were no longer in Rath and Isabel’s line of sight. “You don’t know what you are getting yourself into by coming with me,” Ria said. Michael shrugged his shoulders before saying, “I am coming with you to convince you to listen to what they have to say. I know Isabel loves me and Rath loves you. He was about to say that he doesn’t care about destiny.” “You said the same thing,” Ria said in frustration. She looked deep into his brown eyes and knew that he was being stubborn and was not going to go back without her.
Ria started walking down the street again silently hoping that Michael would give up and go back. Michael growled in frustration while following her down the street. He looked around trying to figure out where they were since his legs were now starting to hurt from walking. Ria stopped in front of the door to a lobby of a small motel and said, “You can still go back, I can never go back.” She pulled the door open and walked into the lobby. Micheal followed her into the lobby and over to the desk. He blinked in surprise seeing that the man behind the counter acted like he knew who Ria was when he placed a key on the counter.
Ria picked the key up and said, “If you want answers come with me.” She walked away from Michael and almost laughed at him when he quickly followed her. “Always want answers,” Michael said. Ria shook her head and said, “You don’t know what you are getting yourself into by coming with me.” She continued down the hall to the last room on the right and placed the key in the door. Hearing the lock click, she opened the door and stepped into the room. Micheal followed her into the room and gasped seeing the room was actually a mini apartment with a small kitchen, fake fireplace, TV and entertainment center on one wall. A matching cream colored love seat and chair with an oak coffee table in front of the love seat and an oak end stand next to the chair.
Micheal looked across the room to see an oak kitchen table and four chairs. “I need to make a call,” Ria said. Micheal looked over at her as she walked over to the phone. “Call Rath and tell him we will be back as soon as I talk some sense into you,” Michael said. Ria shook her head no and said, “You don’t give up.” Picking the phone up, she dialled a number and waited for the person to answer. “Hello,” Sherman said. “Sherman, I am leaving in the morning,” Ria said. She hung up the phone and hoped that Sherman would give her the time she needed with her word that she would return in the morning.
“Who is Sherman?” Michael asked. “The keeper of my people’s secrets,” Ria answered. Michael sat down on the couch feeling like he had just had the wind knocked out of him. “Your what?” Michael asked. “I am breaking laws by telling you what I am about to tell you. I am only allowed to reveal anything to my mate which you are not,” Ria said. Michael stared at Ria wondering if she had hit her head or something since she was talking like she was crazy. “You will be under my protection,” Ria said. “I don’t need protection. I can protect myself,” Michael growled.
Ria laughed while reaching down and taking his hand. “Come,” Ria said. Michael got up from the couch and followed her into the bedroom. He sat on the edge of the bed and watched her while raising his right eyebrow and wondering why she had brought him into the bedroom. Ria moved her hands to the hem of her t-shirt and pulled the shirt over her head. Michael’s brown eyes doubled in size as he realized she was going to strip. “Ria, I’m a married man,” Michael said. Ria nodded her head yes while dropping the shirt onto the ground. Moving her hands to her jeans, she unbuttoned and unzipped them.
Michael gulped feeling his body respond to her standing naked before him. Ria giggled before saying, “Nice to see I still have an effect on you.” Michael was about to respond when his brown eyes doubled in size as Ria shifted into a white wolf. He scrambled back on the bed and stared at her in disbelief. “I am seeing things. There is not a white wolf in front of me.” Ria shifted back into human form and said, “My kind would rip your throat out before you could raise your hand to blast them.”
Michael slowly nodded his head yes while having a feeling that Ria was right. “What are you?” Michael asked while moving back down the bed. “We are called wolfen or skinwalkers,” Ria answered. “Can you do that again?” Michael asked. Ria nodded her head yes and then shifted into a white wolf. Michael slowly moved his hand to her fur and cautiously touched her. He ran his hands through her fur and said, “You are beautiful.” Ria enjoyed the feel of his hands on her pelt. She had never allowed anyone to touch her in wolf form. She shifted back suddenly making his hands come in contact with her ass.
Micheal quickly moved his hands away and blushed while saying, “Sorry.” He noticed tears in her green eyes and asked, “What is the matter?” Ria inhaled deeply before saying, “I can’t be pregnant.” Michael raised his right eyebrow and said, “Why not?” Ria blushed before answering, “I never had sex with him in wolf form.” Micheal’s jaw dropped open and he said, “Ohhh...” He reached down and brought her up onto the bed. Laying back, he wrapped his arms around her body and tried to give her comfort.
Ria sniffled and looked up into his brown eyes. “I am to return to become the Alpha. The color of my pelt gives me the power as Alpha and makes it so I may never leave again.” Michael remained silent wanting to hear more. “I can’t let you go back because that would endanger the pack,” Ria said. “Who said I wanted to go back?” Michael asked. Ria blinked in surprise and said, “You are too stubborn for your own good.” Michael snickered knowing that she was telling the truth. “Sherman must have known that this was going to happen or he would never have allowed me to leave after I flipped.”
“Flipped?” Michael asked. “When we reach puberty we go through the change which not everyone survives which is why I never wanted to have children but knew ultimately that as a white and Alpha I would have to,” Ria babbled. Michael listened to her talk and wondered how he could help her. In the back of his mind, he wondered if it was possible to become her mate even if that were to be in name only since he did love Isabel and she loved Rath. “Not that I am questioning you in anyway, but how do you know that you are pregnant?” Micheal asked. He knew that Ria and Rath hadn’t been together since they had been captured by the special unit.
Ria looked up into Michael’s brown eyes and answered, “I sensed them. It’s a wolfen thing.” “Them?” Michael asked. Ria couldn’t stop the blush from forming on her cheeks which was funny considering she was laying naked in his arms. She didn’t want to get into how many pups her kind tended to have with each pregnancy. Michael snickered when he saw the blush on her cheeks. “Let me guess you can have more than one,” Michael said. Ria nodded her head yes. He decided that he should ask her how he could help her.
“How can I help?” Michael asked. Ria blinked in surprise when she heard him and asked jokingly, “What do you want to do divorce Isabel and become my mate?” Michael was silent for a moment before, he said, “Wolves mate for life.” “We do,” Ria said. She moved away from his body and said, “What you are thinking is deadly. You could die because you would have to become like me.” “I let you down once because of destiny. I won’t do that again,” Michael responded. “Sherman would know if what you ask is possible,” Ria said.
Michael nodded his head yes and said, “Then we ask him tomorrow.” Ria blinked in surprise and said, “You never let me down.” She could see the argument in his brown eyes and placed her finger on his lips. “We should rest. Tomorrow will be a long day,” Ria said. Climbing off the bed she lifted the covers and slid underneath. Michael climbed off the bed and pulled his t-shirt over his head. Dropping the shirt onto the floor, he said, “Rath will be looking for us by now.” Ria turned onto her side and said, “Rath couldn’t find us even if he combined his powers with Isabel’s powers.” Micheal unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans while wondering what exactly she meant. Pushing his jeans, down his legs, he climbed into the bed next to her.
Wrapping his arms around her body, Michael held her tightly in his arms and realized at that moment that he had never stopped loving her. Ria snuggled into his body and felt her inner wolf want to be released which caused a growl to come from her mouth. “Did you just growl at me?” Michael asked. Ria giggled before saying, “The wolf in me wants out. Sorry.” Michael raised his right eyebrow and imagined what it would be like to be a wolf. He looked down again to find she was fast asleep in his arms. Knowing that she was right and tomorrow would be a long day, he closed his brown eyes and was soon fast asleep himself.
