Dare To Mate Chapter 17 - TEASE
CARLY WOODS POV After about fifteen minutes of silence passed between us, I finally let out a heavy sigh as I passed Jace a side glace from my peripheral.Right now, I couldn't trust anyone that's why my mind was searching for a thousand meanings to what he meant by 'coming to a safe page.'Did he realize he was asking for me to trust him with my son's life even after knowing his very existence was a danger to not only my child but my peace of mind and sanity?He was a threat to my already broken and fragile heart. A threat I was fully ready to confront.The game in which I was the pawn started a long time ago without my knowledge, but, as of this moment, the rules had changed to my terms and I wouldn't mind playing dirty.Ooh, how had the table turned? I snorted mentally.But, I could try and play along and see where this goes. If his squad think they can play then I can also play with changes to the rules of the game though.They'll never know what's hitting them until it's too lat

CARLY WOODS POV "What does it feel like to shift into your wolf?"The second the question flew out of my mouth, I knew it was too late to take it back. I had to suffer through the taunting I was sure was coming. With a crestfallen expression, I looked down at my lap twitching my fingers.What was I thinking, asking Jace of all people? That'll make me seem more pathetic. Ugh! Carly, did you truly have to?"Refreshing." His voice whispered. I slowly glanced up to sneak a look at him, only to find him already gazing down at me with a genuine smile."Huh?" I was a little perplexed. I wasn't expecting such gentleness from the man. Jace's hands shot out and covered my hands which were still fidgeting on my lap."It feels refreshing and exhilarating when we shift into our wolf but, let me tell you, the first shift for every wolf hurts more than a bitch." He chuckled at his joke "If I'm to say, there's always this adrenaline rush and a sense of liberation, as if we're shaking off our human

CARLY WOODS POV Leaning on a tree outside the meeting ground, my heel digs into the ground as I crane my neck in search of my best friend. It didn't take long before I caught sight of her wavy brown hair.The meeting had lasted for about thirty minutes, which I had conveniently tuned out on.A radiant smile instantly spread over my sore face when I spotted the wide smile on Mia's face the moment our gazes met."Look what the cat decided to drag to pack meetings today." Mia teased, pulling me into a bone-crushing hug, eyes gleaming with genuine joy.Mia was the only companion I had left in the pack. At some point, Ophelia and I were close, well, as close as cousins could get. But, soon after the accident with my parents, she, alongside everyone started ignoring me except Mia, who didn't mind sticking around even when the consequences of being friends with me entailed being subjected to mock and ridicule, Mia didn't mind. She was ready to go down to hell with me.Mia was that friend th
Last Updated : 2025-02-06Dare To Mate Chapter 20 - STOLEN MOMENT
CARLY WOODS POVThe front door clicked shut, making me release the breath I was holding. Since I didn't know what Jace's consequence would be if he discovered I stayed back at the pack house. I decided that pretending I was home the whole time after the meeting was a better option.So here I am, sneaking around like a ninja in training. I poked my head around the vast lounge area with my fingers crossed in front of my wide eyes. I noticed the house was oddly quiet, as I tip-toed my way to the stairwell with one goal in mind. 'Make it to my room in one piece and pretend I've been in there since goddess knows when'. I thought with a dubious smile.So far, I was victorious since I didn't catch sight of anyone. When my room door came into view, I heard the sound of a door opening and clicking shut, down the hall, 'Oh no, my ninja moves can't go to waste that easily'. I thought as I hurriedly tip-toed to my room as if I stepped on hot coal. In the comfort of my room, I crouched by the wa

CARLY WOODS POV "Ohh, Someone seems happy today.""Well for one, Jace said it was okay for me to come see you today." I retorted trying to hide my smile and make it seem like the idea of spending my day with Mia was the only cause of my high spirit and not a certain Alpha."I'm glad he didn't go all caveman on your fat ass." Mia wiggled her brows suggestively making me blush at the thought of Jace going all caveman on me. Ha!"I knew there was more." She squealed like a kid in her favorite ice cream parlor.Today, Mia alongside three other omegas was assigned to go grocery shopping for the pack house which was a lot of responsibility considering the number of people living there. The girl in charge decided to split the list so they'd finish in record time.So I tagged along. Anything to keep me busy for the day was appreciated.Mia and I kept tossing different packs of cereals, juice, cartons of milk, and what's not into our trolley as we strutted around the mall."There's nothing, b
Last Updated : 2025-02-08Dare To Mate Chapter 22 - BETA IAN
CARLY WOODS POV Open up.Open up.The weight of command on those two words left me frozen to the floor, my feet found it difficult to move at first, but when the sound of the knock came again, I scurried to the door, hastily swinging it open.Still in shock, I gawked at a brooding Beta Ian who had a slightly annoyed yet worried expression and I found myself wondering how he managed to pull that off.Beta Ian Diaz towered over me in a 6'8 posture, his jet black hair pulled up in a neat bun that not even a single hair was out of place. He was dressed in a pair of wheat-colored linen pants, a white full-sleeved shirt that feet him nicely over his muscled torso, and his feet were clad in what looked like expensive leather shoes."Beta Ian." I drawled, my fingers gingerly swiping at my face and nose. "What are you doing here?" Try as I might, I couldn't shake the bewilderment from dripping from my voice.At first, Ian said nothing. He just stood there, eyes switching between my hands and
Last Updated : 2025-02-09Dare To Mate Chapter 23 - YOU ARE MINE
CARLY WOODS POV My mind kept swirling with different thoughts as to why Jace staked his claim on me that night.It was supposed to be just sex. A one-night stand and we'd both be on our merry way the morning after but everything changed when his canine broke into the softness of my skin where my neck connected with my shoulder.He staked his claim, then brushed me off like an insignificant spec of dust on his expensive suit that wasn't worth his time of day. As if he didn't mark me as his.As if his mark- an Alpha mark, didn't send a fierce message to every unmated wolf that Carly the omega has been spoken for."Can we not talk about this now?" Jace's voice drew me back to reality, his hold tightening around me like he could predict my actions.He didn't want to talk about why he marked me out of nowhere."When can we talk about it?" I asked, pushing my head into the crook of his neck. It felt comfortable sleeping in his embrace, I didn't want to be away from him but I couldn't get

CARLY WOODS POV I groaned in irritation as glaring light from the sun hit my face, successfully snagging me out of my peaceful slumber.My hands fumbled around in wild search of a pillow to block out the light rays. I must have forgotten to pull the blinds the night before.I've never been a morning person even though my body has been accustomed to waking up early in the park house for morning chores.After about fifteen minutes of tossing and being unable to fall back asleep, I decided it was time to get started with my day.It's not like I had anything tangible to do here, Alice, the housekeeper made sure everything was in place and omegas are usually sent here for cleanup. It seems being pregnant was the only thing in my job description.I stared into my honey-brown eyes with tiny golden flecks that I shared with my father, I winced at the sight of my hair that was no different from a badly knitted bird nest and my nightdress was a wrinkled mess.I splashed some water on my face b

Dare To Mate Chapter 62 - A DRUNKEN MISTAKE
CARLY WOODS POVMrs. Baldwin's attitude towards me wasn't anything new to me, sadly, I was already used to her treating the people she thought were beneath her like trash.How she was fated to be an alpha was a question I'll probably never find an answer to, since Luna was supposed to be accommodating and hospitable."Mother," Jace said lowly, the warning in his tone was very subtle."If you wanted to cheat on your fiance, you could have at least done better not reduce yourself to this." Her tone was very soft and composed but the look in her eyes said something else.Her beady blue eyes looked me up and down in disdain as if my presence was puke-worthy."Mother, what's all this? Didn't you say you wanted to get to know the woman that's carrying your grandchild?""Oh, I did? Yeah, she's not just what I expected, my dear." Her piercing blue eyes narrowed as she looked me up and down. A snicker was heard from the front door and I didn't have to look to know it came from Nate.Even thou
Dare To Mate Chapter 61 - MRS. BALDWIN
CARLY WOODS POV"Carly." I felt a tender touch on my cheek, light knuckles stroking against my soft skin. "Baby wake up." Soft fingers trailed along my jawline and I sighed in contentment, leaning into the warm touch.I heard Jace's deep chuckle before I felt his wet lips on my forehead."Come on, little Omega." He said, his fingers sneaking into the back of my head.When my eyes flickered open the first thing I saw was the warm smile on Jace Baldwin's face, his beautiful set of green eyes that stared softly into my tired and sleepy face.My face crinkled as I yawned into his face, not a bit bothered about covering my mouth. That must have grossed him out enough to lean away from my face."We're here." He said, placing one last kiss on my head before pulling back a bit to give me a view of the cool scenery."Where are we?" I asked when I noticed the unfamiliar environment.I must have slept off a long the way to wherever we were going.I blinked once then twice in confusion, trying t

CARLY WOODS POVMy head whipped around in the direction of the annoying voice."Carly? Is that you?""I'm sorry ma'am but I think you have me mistaken for another person," I said in hopes she'd leave me alone.But when did I ever have my way in things?"Don't you dare pull that shit on me young lady, I know it's you. The world can't make two of the same damn mistake now, can it?""What do you want?" I snapped at the woman in her early fifties who stood in an expensive and classy black dress that made her look scream money.Mrs Miller or should I say Ophelia's mother who happens to be my mother's elder sister.Mrs Miller and my mother had never seen eye to eye and that was one of the few things I noticed as a kid when I still had my both parents with me. Aunt Kathy as she loved to be called was one of the people that couldn't wait for the sand on my parent's grave to be filled up before she started physically abusing me. She had offered for me to come leave with them but even at nine
Dare To Mate Chapter 59 - GAME OR NO GAME
CARLY WOODS POVWaking up the next morning, too tired to crack an eye open I groaned nuzzling my head into the soft pillow wincing at the mild headache that was building up as memories from the night before rushed back, hitting me hard like a brick in the head.Geeze, last night was the most terrible night of my life with all the drama and near-death experience.I tried rubbing my fingers on my temple to ease some of the pains but the action was hindered by the weight on my right hand.Startled, I pulled my eyes open to see a mop of caramel blonde hair that belonged to alpha Jace, my stomach did a double flip at his sleeping form, thick dark lashes almost touching his cheekbones.I wasn't too surprised about him being here, though he should have gone home to sleep in the comfort of his bed not waste his birthday night at my side in the hospital.Sighing, I sat up slowly, my eyes examining the blinding white walls of the room. There was an ugly yellow clock attached to the wall beside
Dare To Mate Chapter 58 - THE PERSON BEHIND
JACE BALDWIN POV"Alpha."It's been more than an hour since Carly was rushed into the emergency room. It's been an hour since I waited out here for the door to open back and reveal my little Omega.I'd done my fair share of imprinting my footprints on the hallway after pacing the floor until Ian complained about my actions making him dizzy.My eyes were locked on the light blue wooden door that separated me from Carly, my feet tapping relentlessly on the concrete hospital floor as I waited for her."Alpha."Hopefully, the baby wasn't affected by Carly's breathlessness or was he? Maybe that was what was taking them forever to open the damn door and grant me access."Alpha Jace."I wasn't sure if I had it in me to forgive Addison if anything were to happen to that child. She knew more than anyone how much that child meant to me and the pack. Was it so difficult to let Carly be? The girl tries everything within her to avoid her, but she has sworn to make her life difficult when the girl
Dare To Mate Chapter 57 - ONE WAY OR THE OTHER
CARLY WOODS POV"What? It's the truth, Carly, you're nothing but a slut, a home wrecker. Our life was wonderful and the best until you sauntered your way into it, wreaking havoc in your wake."Something must have transpired between her and Jace outside the party that made her so mad that the rim of her eyes was beginning to turn a deep shade of red.I didn't care about her nor about who got her panties on a twist. "Where'd you get that from?" I queried, my voice was impossibly low, eyes fixed solely on the all too familiar object in her hand. Whatever she had to say wasn't making any sense to me.Addison noticed what was worthy of my scrutiny, looking down at her hand she held up the item of my interest to her face, a smirk on her face."You mean this?" And that was the brown leather watch I'd gifted Jace for his birthday.Now broken by a single strap.Did Jace give it to her? If he didn't like it he would've just said so instead of giving it to Addison to help him dispose.My heart
Dare To Mate Chapter 56 - ALMOST
CARLY WOODS POV"Hey Carly, look at me, you'll be fine okay." I heard Jace's frantic voice as he pulled me out of the backseat of his car before rushing towards the entrance of the pack hospital where some nurses and a doctor were waiting.Ian was in the driver's seat while Mia took the passenger seat with tears streaming down her face.My hands grasp around my neck and chest as I whizzed out not able to come up with anything.The nurses rushed to us with a wheelchair as a doctor I wasn't familiar with tried taking me from Jace's strong arms that held me securely to his chest.Jace growled at him before carefully placing me in the wheelchair, "Baby, you'll be fine okay? I'll be here throughout." The desperation and pure fear in his stormy green eyes tugged on my heartstrings.More tears streamed down my face at how broken and lost he looked when he placed a kiss on my head, his hand gripping the back of my head. Was it just because of his unborn child or if somewhere in his heart, h
Dare To Mate Chapter 55 - I'VE SEEN A GODDESS
CARLY WOODS POVThe steady sound of a heartbeat against my ear and the slow strokes of a large hand caressing the softness of my brunette hair pulled me back from the peaceful sleep I was in. I was still very tired and sore from the early birthday sex Jace and I were entangled in.That man had one hell of a stamina. He took me to different clouds of ecstasy and bliss. I was completely spent and worn out before Jace pulled me into his rock-hard chest and wrapped his strong masculine arms around my waist.Too tired to get up, I pushed more into his hard chest, rubbing my face on his chest like a kid, a light groan escaping my throat.Jace let out a chuckle, pulling me closer to place a kiss on my head."Look who finally decided to wake up.""Yeah, if you were in my place after,- umm, you know, um, yeah. So you'll equally be tired." I stumbled over my words heat taking my tired face that I hid in his neck, my arms thrown over his neck.Jace lets out a laugh, "After what my dear?" His tea
Dare To Mate Chapter 54 - LITTLE WILD HEART
LITTLE WILD HEARTADDISON COBBLER'S POV It was too early to sob. The black swan mask I had on for the masquerade party I threw for Jace concealed my anxiety and tears. Jace didn't show up. Forty minutes into the party the object of my affection wasn't there. "Call him again!" I snapped at Nate, my irritation revealing I had zero tolerance for anything that second. "If he doesn't show up, you're going to make refunds until the last cent of the money I spent on this bash!" "Addie!" Ophelia chided gently. Nate stuffed his hands into the pockets of his pants, nodded, and excused himself to make the hundredth phone call. "You shouldn't talk to him that way!" Ophelia pressed behind the Minnie Mouse mask. "Shut the hell up!" I snapped and stomped away. I returned to the grand hall where more than a hundred guests were gathered, masks on their faces and champagne flutes being carried around by the stewards. The event planners delivered their part. The stylists, everyone else met their
