Chapter 56 The day that’s all yours….
Ryder’s POV
Dawn is creeping in through the windows, and the first light spills across her bare legs. The glow warms her skin like it’s been meant for her. How in the hell did I end up this
lucky?
She’s snoring-soft, steady, real. I grin into the pillow. When she first came to me she
had been waking up shaking, clawing for my side of the bed like she’d drown without it.
Now she’s out cold, peaceful, with that tiny little sound that tells me she feels safe. That
I’m doing my job. That I’m a good mate.
I brush her hair back and murmur, “Morning, gorgeous.”
Those hazel eyes blink open, slow and heavy with sleep. She stretches, arms reaching
high, and my oversized shirt rides up her middle. Smooth stomach. My scent all over her.
I drag my fingertips over the fabric, over the curve of her chest, and her body answers
with a shiver.
“Good morning, my Alpha,” she says, voice thick with teasing as she arches so my hand
stays where she wants it.
I cup her breast and she exhales, eyes fluttering back. Her thighs loosen, opening
without her even thinking about it.
“Such a good Luna,” I tell her, leaning in. “Let’s see if you’ve been dreaming about me.”
She bites her lip. “And how would you even know?”
My gaze tracks down her body, taking my time. “Because I know you.”
I roll over her, bracing on my knees, and tug my shirt up and off her. She’s naked
underneath no barriers, no hesitation. Perfect. My mouth waters just looking at her.
I kick the covers away and lower myself to her breasts, kissing slow at first, worshipful.
Then I change it-teeth, tongue, suction-switching from one nipple to the other until
her breath turns ragged.
“Gods, Bridget,” I mutter against her skin. “You taste unreal.”
I trail lower, mouth over her stomach, then down the inside of her thighs. She opens.

wider like she’s offering herself up. I glance up and catch her spread out against the
white pillows, curls everywhere, lips parted like she’s waiting to be fed.
Later, tonight, I’ll take my time with that.
Right now I need her on my tongue.
I slide her legs farther apart and lick her-slow, deliberate.
“Oh goddess-Ryder!” she cries, fingers tangling in my hair.
Her back bows off the mattress when my tongue flicks against her clit. She’s soaked,
slick and hot, making it impossible to think about anything else.
I pull back just enough to speak, breathing hard. “Yeah. You were absolutely dreaming of
me.”
I lap up everything she gives me, and she gives me more-hips grinding into my face, desperate. I clamp my hands around her thighs and pull her closer until she starts to shake, little tremors running through her like sparks.
She’s right there. And I want the whole pack house to know it.
“You’re going to destroy these sheets,” I warn between hungry mouthfuls, her sweet caramel wetness pouring heavy-she’s definitely a squirter now.
Bridget’s moans turn sharp when I go faster. I pin her legs down, holding her still while I
suck hard on her clit.
“Ryder!” she screams.
I drive two fingers deep into her at the same time, and she shatters-body clenching, trembling, coming apart beneath me. I keep pumping her with my fingers, working her
through it until she’s gasping.
I climb up over her and kiss her hard, tongue sliding into her mouth, letting her taste
herself on me.
“Happy birthday, Luna Bridget,” I whisper against her lips.
She’s still shaking when she smiles. “Thank you, Alpha Ryder,” she breathes, and her
hand slips down between my legs, wrapping me and guiding me where she wants me.
A knock slams into the moment.

“Knock, knock!” a voice calls from the hall.
“No,” Bridget whines, eyes squeezed shut like she can will it away.
“Go away!” I bark.
“It’s Connor,” he says, too damn cheerful. “Training. Now.”

Then another voice joins-my mom’s, all authority. “And Luna Kendra, the girls have birthday plans for you.”
“Ten minutes!” I shout.
“Don’t make me open this door,” my mom snaps right back. “You both need to be up and dressed. Now.”
I grind my teeth. “Fine! Mom-we’ll be out in five!”
Bridget laughs when I scoop her up and sling her over my shoulder. I carry her straight toward the shower while she giggles and swats my back like it’s going to change my
mind.
A few minutes later we’re dressed. We walk out hand in hand.
At the hall we steal a quick kiss, then split-my mom leading Bridget away with Iron
Fang and Elliot at her sides.
Connor, Lucas, and Pierce meet me on the field. The next hour is nothing but hand-to-
hand drills, and I’ve got more frustration built up than I’d like to admit. The warriors are
already lined up, waiting.
I step forward and raise my voice. “Alright. Today is hand-to-hand only. No extra
strength. No wolves, no bears, no vampire speed, no witchcraft. Pair off. Move.”
“Yes, Alpha!” the yard answers, loud and unified, breaking into teams.
My head warriors circulate, correcting stances and watching for problems. That’s when I hear Thorne running his mouth-too loud, too smug.
“I’m telling you, if I were captain, I’d run circles around these women he put in charge,” he says, jawing at his friends after one of my female heads calls out his form.
My mate could flatten him. Any of my women could. Thorne is low-tier skill with a high-
tier ego.

“Thorne,” I call, sharp. “Here. Now.”
“Yes, Alpha.” He jogs over.

He’s huge-built like a damn oak. And just like an oak, he’s slow.
I tilt my head. “You think you can handle a female warrior? That what I’m hearing?”
He swallows, but he doesn’t back off. “Alpha… I’m just saying it feels like some women
get promoted to meet a quota.”
My temper tightens. “No woman gets promoted in my pack without me vetting her personally.” I take a step closer. “So what you’re doing is questioning your Alpha.”
His eyes widen with fear.
I keep my voice even. “That’s a challenge. Do you want to challenge me, Thorne?”
“No-no, Alpha,” he rushes out. “I was just-I mean, if anything you should be
promoting me. I’m worthy.”
“Good,” I say, cold. “Then your challenge is accepted. Fight me. Now.”
I strip off my shirt and walk onto the dirt patch we use as the fight field. A few she- wolves drift closer, curious, but they know better than to approach me while I’m like this.
“Alpha…” Thorne looks around as people begin to gather. He can’t refuse now without
looking weak.
“Into the ring,” I order. “Now.”
He steps in and cracks his neck from side to side. I drop my center of gravity, ready.
Connor’s voice cuts through the air. “Ready, set-fight!”
I explode forward. I catch his arm and shoulder and use his momentum against him, flipping him over my hip and driving him into the dirt.
He’s up fast-four hundred pounds of muscle and pride. We circle. He rushes to grab my
waist.
When his arms lock on, I clasp my fists and hammer them into his back again and again
until his knees buckle.
I speak as I move, loud enough for the field to hear. “The issue is, some men treat

He throws a wild punch. I slip it and sweep his legs. He hits the ground flat.
“They don’t realize women bring their own skills,” I continue, dropping down and twisting his arm between my legs. I extend it, controlled, right to the edge. “And we
learn from each other-or we stay weak.”
He starts screaming, panicking, slapping the ground like this is some sparring match he
can call off.
I keep pulling until the joint gives.
The dislocation pops. His scream echoes.
I release just enough to sit up. “You will apologize to every woman on this field today.”
Then I hit him once and shut him up for good.
“Get him to the infirmary,” I order, standing. “Heal him. And remind him of his
assignment.”
“Yes, Alpha,” two warriors answer, already hauling a stretcher in.
Connor hands me a towel and water as we head inside to shower before meetings.
“Hope he actually got the message,” Lucas says.
“Yeah,” Connor mutters. “I’d hate for that idiot to get himself killed on the Luna’s
birthday.”
A mind-link snaps across my head from Iron Fang.
‘Sir, you need to get here. Gym.’
My gut clenches.
‘Is Bridget okay?’ I shoot back, already walking faster.
‘Yes, sir.’
‘I’m coming.’
Pierce frowns. “Everything good?”

We break into a light sprint. A couple warriors are gathered outside, staring in through
the windows and pretending they aren’t.
“What the hell is happening?” Connor asks.
They avert their eyes. I signal Lucas to keep them back as we pass.
Inside, the problem becomes obvious.
Beatrix is leading a workout, and Bridget is with her-Evelyn, Sienna, and Archer too- moving through exercises like it’s nothing. It’s not the equipment that makes my blood
spike.
It’s what they’re wearing.
I walk straight to Bridget. “What are you wearing?”
She beams like she hasn’t a care in the world. “Hi, babe! It’s a gym. This is a sports bra.
And these are workout shorts.”
I stare at the shorts. “I’ve got belts bigger than those.”
She laughs. “Don’t be ridiculous. I’m just in workout clothes.”
“Perfect,” I say, voice low. “Now come upstairs with me-and take them off.”
