No!
Petrified at the face of danger, Vesper's eyes widened, as the color drained from her face, leaving her looking like a ghost that just discovered it was dead.
The attack was too close, and she knew if she didn't do anything now, that would mark the end for her.
With another sense of desperation surging from her, she deliberated on several ways to save herself since she was not strong to go against him. Thinking of the kiss earlier, something glinted in her eyes, and she figured out a bolder step to take.
Although, it was uncertain......
*Strip!*
With a loud rip, Vesper grabbed her filthy worn out dress, covering her chest and tore it the instant!
*Bloom!*
Two bouncing golden gleaming balls with pink tip, bloomed out like cherries
, and it was blinding enough to disorient any man.
But Riven was not just any man ....
The chilly wind in the forest caressed her exposed skin, sending a touch of nervousness and shame down her spine.
She pouted with her ears turning scarlet rapidly and casted her gaze downward as she pressed her hands shakily on her plump chest.
Riven's gaze darkened, his eyes turning bottomless like a abyss, and the air around him changed!
The tip of his claws would soon pierced Vesper's chest, but he cared less.
He had a feeling Vesper was a threat, and he wasn't the type to play games.
Unexpectedly, something stirred below Riven, which struck him like lightening, bewildering him!
Abruptly, his claws trembled and came to an halt right in front of vesper's exposed blinding chest.
He squinted his eyes fiercely, his look becoming inexplicable .
No maiden or lady had managed to move him with just their body parts since three decades ago... But now.......
Who the hell is this lady?!
Riven flared his nostrils, his face blazing as hell and silently, he withdrew his hand.
It can't be!
She can't be the one!
He assured himself calmly and snorted indifferently at Vesper.
" Fool."
Then, he strode away from her without sparing her a glance again.
Vesper opened one of her eyes and realized she was still alive!
Joy lit her up and spread to her face, beaming, and she hooked her lips.
A victorious smile danced across her mouth and her tensed muscles relaxed, breathing out a sigh of relief.
Although her instincts yelled at her to run far from Riven, but her whole body felt an unexplainable draw toward the imposing man.... It was as if a part of her was familiar and attracted to the darkness emanating strongly from him.
Could he.......?
No, she didn't want to think about it. It's better not get her hopes up.
And besides there was no sign of her wolf screaming ' mate' just like others say, so how can she assume?
Quietly, she trailed behind Riven, determined to follow him to his destination since there was no other place for her to go.
Regardless, Riven failed to pay attention to her, ignoring her like an air.

*Fiery Ember Pack*
In no time, they got to the Alpha's house of the fiery ember pack.
Vesper's gaze fixed against the opulence grandeur of the Alpha's house but her mind had raced to something else.
With an oppressive aura, Riven made his way into the meeting chamber where the rest of the members were respectfully waiting for him.
The meeting chamber was a cavernous space with meticulous intricate carvings on the wall. At the center of the meeting chamber, stood the great pack emblem which consist of roaring fire engulfing the moon.
Upon sighting their Alpha as expected, the pack members in the meeting chamber all stood up with proud expressions.
" All hail Alpha Riven!"
" All hail the strongest and most worthy Alpha!"
" All hail the prince of hell!"
They all said in unison, chorusing Riven's praise, and a sense of admiration spread dominated the air......
The members in the meeting chamber who were the Gamma, Beta, Elders, the head of the servants, some soldiers and Generals, congratulated Riven for wining another war and conquering one of the packs again!
Indeed, their pack was becoming formidable each day, thanks to their unparalleled Alpha!
Acquiring one more pack and land, had made the Fiery Ember Pack to stand out as one of the largest and most terrifying pack in the world!
Riven remained composed and gave a curt nod.
Those who knew him, would understand his silence was much worthy than his words.
It was at this point, someone noticed Vesper, who was standing at a corner and watching the whole scene with a confounded look..
" Alpha........."
The head of the servants in the Alpha household, Chief Gideon with a slightly aged face, pointed at Vesper calmly.
Immediately, all eyes landed at Vesper, which made her skin curl, and she inclined her head downward.
She had no idea the man she just encountered and dared was an Alpha, not just an Alpha but a powerful and strong Alpha!
Those red eyes earlier when he fought the guards, how could she not notice?
Only an Alpha has the power to possess a deep red eyes even without full moon.
Oh selene! What had she gotten herself into?!
However, those that were staring at her, couldn't believe their eyes!
Vesper's forest green eyes were too familiar to them, and her facial look..........
It was too similar!
Could she be????
" Lock her up!"
Riven ordered coldly, cutting off their thoughts. " She is an hostage I captured along the way."
Saying this, he silenced them all, commanding fear and, he walked out of the meeting chamber.
The light in Vesper's eyes dimmed as she heard this but she couldn't react.
Did he despise her presence so much?
She couldn't understand him till she felt two of the guards approached her and took her by the arms.
She didn't resist and went with them.
As they were about to take her away from the meeting chamber, an unfamiliar lady with golden ash hair and a stern look, stopped right in front of Vesper.
Vesper glanced at her and immediately something turned icy in her eyes instantly!
General Zara's eyes squinted sharply, as she crossed her arms against chest, her gaze scrutinizing Vesper with a glint of curiosity, suspicion and a brimming hostility.
" An hostage?"
Her squinted eyes towards Vesper became sinister and she sneered with an air of arrogance.
" You better be!"
Zara withdrew her gaze and pursed her lips with a flash of panic.
Seeing Vesper just now greatly reminds her of ...........her biggest setback and rival!
No!
A dead person is a dead person!
But still, she mustn't let her guard down, especially seeing the similarity in Vesper's green eyes .......
However , with her back turned towards Vesper, she missed the dark look in the latter's green eyes........
