"Like I said, you will be sleeping in my room.""And again, Alpha. I refuse.""I would rather for you to sleep with me, for reasons.""Oh my gods, you are impossible. I don't feel comfortable with this. I hardly even know you.""That's why you will stay in my room. What better way than to be close and get to know each other."Riviera groan and accepts defeat, knowing that she wouldn't be able to win."Fine, just let me stop at home and get some clothes.""In my opinion, you don't need clothes."Riviera cast a look at Sabastian."But clothes are brilliant cover-ups.""I never knew that you were so talkative. I always took you for a serious no bullsh*t taking person.""Different personality for different people."The two fall in a comfortable silent as they walk the path from the cave, and onto the main road."All along, this has been your hiding spot. I have frequented this location so many tim

The only place Riviera could think of going, is to the cave. So she does, by teleporting herself there.The place has a more earthly scent to it, I sign that rain would fall.Riviera plop down beside her bags, not wanting to feel sorry for herself, but she does.If she wasn't so afraid of her feelings or hated her mother, she would have been in a bed under the covers ready to sleep."Stop your whining, you chose this, the path of the lone wolf." Luca barks.Just then a loud rumbling is heard outside of the cave, then the walls shake.There is a flash of light, then the loud rumbling comes again.

"I Riviera Mendes reject you, Sabastian Belmont, as my mate. You are weak and I don't see you as fit to protect me from any harm." With her words said, Sabastian feels a pain in his chest and as if she slapped him in the face. "You can't reject me." Sabastian said, trying to reach out for Riviera. Riviera sneers at him out of anger, "you are the most annoying person I know. You could have got both of us killed. You even just stabbed me. What mate does that? And remember, this is what you want. You said so in the cave. So I reject you. Now leave me alone." A growl escape Sabastian's lips. "Oh, look at you growling. What are you going to do? Stab me again." But instead, to both of their surprise. Sabastian grabs Riviera's face and kissed her hard on the lips. The shock Riviera has in the beginning melts away, while emotions flood over her. As she enjoys her first real kiss, but the excitement soon wears off only to be replaced with hate.

Riviera sits cross leg, trying her best to figure out how to get to the demon wolf past.Just as she has her breathing under control, and focus on Luca's past, hoping it can give her the lead she wants.She hears her mother's voice, faintly saying. "There she is, by the pool.""Don't let them touch you." Luca's voice comes, but by then it is too late.Kylie, Sabastian and Mary-Kate, are all pulled into the whirlwind and thrown in the past, just by being close to Riviera."Is she doing this?" Mary-Kate asks, trying to steady herself."How did they get here? Riviera ask, getting to her feet and noticing that they are all standing I'm a big open field."They got pulled in.""Just my luck.""Riviera, what is this?" Her mother asks, her hands on her hips and tapping one foot."I don't have time for this, Mary-Kate. There are bigger problems at hand. If you want to leave, find a way to use your powers to do so."

"I see that I am not the only one who thinks that the things the Fates do are a load of filth." The Alpha said, then laugh."I wish we never had to answer to them or the gods. They never interfere with the humans, so why us?" Mary-Kate said, having no remorse at her story."Now, there is someone that I like. I would like to get to know you better, maybe discuss a few things." Alpha Gerald smile.The female that is leaning on the Alpha’s shoulder, cast a look at Mary-Kate, then gets up, letting out a soft growl."Anyone else has anything to share?" Alpha Gerald ask, not even bothering to go after his mate.The silence is heavy on the pack members."Komina, is it?" Luca asks. "Did you see or know anything about the men that had attacked your pack?""No, where I lived was further away from the main living area." Riviera tells him.Mary-Kate scoffs, "I'm not going to sit and listing to this anymore.""You can go then.
