HIS UNWORTHY MATE
Jade knows what it feels like to have no one in her corner; she experienced it firsthand when her aunt sweet-talked her parents and took her to the Philippines' when she was eight. After years of abuse and being used, the only thing Jade wished for was an escape to finally go home and be with her family. All Jade wished for was to experience what it feels like to be loved once again and she got that when she finally escaped from her aunt and made her way back home to her pack and family in Detroit. Finding out that the Alpha Heir Hunter was her mate was the best thing to ever happen to Jade, and Hunter gave Jade a home, love, and became the safety and comfort Jade had always wished for. Two years of blissful union came to an abrupt end when Jade woke up in bed with her sister's boyfriend after a party. Her life goes from sweet to bitter in a matter of days as everyone Jade once loved turned their backs on her, refusing to believe them when she said she didn't cheat on her mate. How could she? Hunter was the love of her life.
Jade goes from preparing to becoming the Luna of the Blackwood Pack, to being treated no less than a traitor. Hunter doesn't wait another heartbeat before rejecting her, and Jade is soon branded as a defective mate, banished to the woods as a rogue. How will Jade survive life as a pregnant rogue? The cursed brand on her neck makes it impossible for any pack to take her in. Will her mate come after her? Or will Jade find her strength somewhere else and come back to enact her revenge on the people who hurt her?

Chapter: CHAPTER 66~WHAT IF?~~REIGN~A seething rage pulsed through my veins in waves as I listened to Emerald tell me about what had happened to her in her pack and got her banished.At some point, we had moved from standing in the middle of the bedroom and were now sitting on the bed while I held her against my body. I had been curious about who Hunter was ever since she mentioned him. I knew he had to be why my mate was so guarded and untrusting. Obviously, he did something to her, and whatever that was had broken her beyond measure.I wanted to know what he did to her, yet despite my curiosity, I didn’t want to bring up the topic knowing how emotional the day had been for her. But Jade had started talking, and I didn’t stop her as she opened up about her past, the last few minutes, and the ordeal she went through. I realised she was choosing to trust me with her pain and perhaps her heart. So I listened attentively, which was hard because it was a struggle within me having to fight against my control with Tari

Chapter: CHAPTER 65~INVALUABLE~~REIGN~“Jade.” A growl rumbled through my chest as I relished the way her name rolled off my tongue. Jade? Her name was Jade. That had been her name all this while and I didn’t even know it, yet I called her Emerald because her eyes reminded me of precious gemstones. I didn’t realise how close I was to her real name—only a smidge close.All this while, she heard me call her Emerald. She probably thought about how close I was to her real name but she held off that information until now. I looked down at her, my heart filling with emotions I couldn’t explain as I realised why she finally chose to tell me her name. She was handing me her trust. She held off that piece of herself all this time. Despite how little it might seem to others. It was a piece of her, an important part of her, that gave her an identity and she held that back because she couldn’t trust me. I was but a stranger to her, claiming to care about her. She didn’t trust me until now. And even if she wasn’t saying those e

Chapter: CHAPTER 64~ A DIFFERENT STORY~~JADE~Is this?Was that a love declaration?Was he?!Did he just declare...But why would he?My mind warred as I tried computing everything I just heard.He wants to be my balm. To be the Alpha who eases my pain and protects me fiercely. He wanted me to stay, but most of all, he wanted me to choose him—to choose to stay, to choose him to be my comfort and home.Wasn’t that what Hunter also wanted? He never said those exact words but he claimed he wanted to be my home and safety, and look where that got me? He became the person who ended up breaking me the most.’We never had a choice with Hunter,’ Lev mumbled and that got me frowning.‘How do you mean?’‘With Hunter, we didn’t expect him to be our mate. Even after that, we were never given a choice. Did you really have the choice to sit and ponder if Hunter was who you wanted? Think about it, Jade. We had just escaped Manila, and it was nice to be back home. You just wanted to finally live and breathe like every normal person. You d

Chapter: CHAPTER 63~ONLY IF YOU LET ME~~REIGN~I don’t know how long we stood in the middle of my bedroom, with me just cradling her to my chest while she sobbed. Despite how difficult it was to listen to the sound of her anguish cries. I held her close, doing my best to assure her that I was okay with it.As long as it was what she needed. Then I had nowhere else to be. And it’s funny because I’ve always hated the sound or sight of someone crying. The sound was something that aggravated me beyond measure, yet listening to her cries didn’t stir that family irritation except it made my heart ache for her.I closed my eyes, inhaling as I ran my wrist along the scent gland on her neck. The action was subtle, but I hoped scenting her would help her calm down and make her feel more safe. Eventually, her sobs evened out. “I’m sorry,” she murmured, pulling back slightly as she sniffed.Shaking my head, I reached forward to gently wipe the tear streaks on her cheeks. “You don’t have to apologize for this. If it helps you feel bett

Chapter: CHAPTER 62~THE SOUND OF HER PAIN~~REIGN~I tried making sense of what Emerald had just said, and my mind kept drawing a blank. I was confused; my eyes raked over her trembling body, the potent smell of her fear in the air and I couldn’t make sense of anything.This wasn’t the reaction I was expecting from her when she woke up. I knew there would still be jitters from what happened, but I didn’t expect to hear her tell me she was leaving again.I opened my mouth to speak but I had nothing to say. What exactly was I supposed to say to her? ’Too broken to be worth anything to me?’ How the hell do I respond to that without sounding like a complete arsehole that would be dismissing whatever she was feeling?I clenched my fist hand, hating myself at this moment. Feelings and emotions—putting them into actual words wasn’t my forte, but I couldn’t let her walk out of this room believing whatever thoughts were going through her hand.I reached out to touch her as she tried to walk past me and she flinched, jumping back. “I—I

Chapter: CHAPTER 61~HE LEFT~~JADE~I woke up startled from a nightmare that seemed intent on cutting off my ability to breathe. My eyes blew wide in panic, and my heart thumped at an inhumane speed as I tried to take in lungfuls of air.It didn’t help that the light in the bedroom was dim. It took me several minutes of blinking before my eyes adjusted to the slight darkness in the room and for my brain to catch up with the fact that I was awake and safe, away from the horrors of my nightmares.The last time I had nightmares of Hunter, I was running through woods day and night, heavy with my pregnancy, trying to live a day without a rogue wolf attack. Ever since Reign found me, I hadn’t had one of those nightmares; perhaps it was because the majority of the time I had been unconscious, or was it the safety that came with falling asleep surrounded by his pheromones?Despite how heady and overwhelming his scent was, it was also calming in a sense, which promised safety and protection. However, this time, I couldn’t
