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

    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

    CARLY WOODS POV The days to Jace's birthday were slowly drawing close and I was yet to decide on what to gift him.What do you gift a man that needs redemption?Today was not like any other regular day for me in the Brookside pack. The day on its own started with the warmth of the sun and the sound of birds tweeting away merrily on trees and anything they found pleasant enough to perch on.But my day took a turn for the worse when I got a call from the head omega, requesting my presence in the pack house. I didn't think much of it at first, but when I was informed upon my arrival that Addison required me to clean out her room and closet, I knew something wasn't right.I have this nagging feeling she was up to something. Something I couldn't figure out.Jace had left before I woke up so I assumed he was already at the pack house but I later found out he, alongside Ian and some of the pack warriors, left for a meeting in another pack's land.So, I spent the day arranging and rearrangin

    ADDISON'S POV It was starting to be fun. Putting this lowly omega in her place was starting to be fun. She'd stubbed out too far with Jace and now she just had to face the music. "How long is this going to take?" Ophelia huffed, peeling her gaze from her phone, "Could we just get this done with?""Could you just shut the hell up you're starting to grow annoying." I hissed already irritated by her headless rambles She shrugged and relaxed in the bar of Jace's mansion. I poured us some more tequila, relaxed in the bar, and allowed my mind to wander freely.Timing was everything and just like Ophelia, I was starting to run out of patience. I tabbed off the butt of my cigarette and took another drag of the cigarette. Carly was assigned to clean out my room a task aimed at letting the entire pack know of the stuff that runt was truly made of. My jewelry collection was an optimal temptation one she could never resist. "I hope the half-heart gold necklace has been just where it'

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter 27 - MY CURSE

    CARLY WOODS POVSteady streaks of tears cascaded down my face, soaking deep into my pale tank top causing it to cling onto my skin.Addison had carefully thought this through, whatever was intended was quickly unveiled and I'd rather be anywhere but at the receiving end of this conniving bitch ploy.My cries fell on the deaf ears of the small crowd that rapidly formed in the room and doorway, Mia had squeezed her way into the room and was silently observing in the corner like everyone else, but unlike the rest of the people who had disgust and contempt in their eyes, Mia was anxious and apprehensive of what will happen when Jace got here.I wasn't afraid of Jace's reaction to this, I was sure as hell that Jace would believe me. He did believe me the day Addison came on me in the kitchen.Would he even for a second doubt my character? My chest constricted at the thought of his accusing eyes."Mia, please tell her I didn't do it," I begged in desperation but the fear in her wide doe br

    JACE BALDWIN POVI was in my office in the pack house with my Beta, Ian Diaz, and Gamma, Nate Moore, after a stressful day of lengthy meetings and driving about to and from the Crescent Hill pack to form allies should Darren, the leader of the Outlanders- the rouge group, decide to launch an attack when Lykos and I are weakened from the Gaia curse.In my office, there was a tall walnut bookshelf lining the entire right-hand wall, a comfortable sleek black leather couch, double seats, and single seats arranged in a square shape for small office meetings. There's a fireplace at the far wall that is flanked by two dominating bookshelves by the side, on the other side was a mahogany table with stacks of papers, files, a pencil holder, a MacBook computer, and a glass of whiskey I dropped a minute ago. Behind the table was a black swirl leather chair. There was a file cabinet by the wall beside my work table. On the left was a wide floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked the gates. There wa

It was frustrating when the only thing I saw was her broken face as those dark eyes begged and pleaded to be heard.The day she asked what it felt like to shift was when I realized she was a broken soul. More broken than she lets on.Living as half-human in the werewolf community without your wolf must be hard for her. The agony and vulnerability she tried to hide cut deep into the depths of my heart. She was alone trying to push her way through then I stumbled in and made it more complicated.When she ran away after a tear slipped through, I wanted to go after her but my butt was glued to the theater seat and I knew she needed time to recollect herself.It was amusing to make her think she could easily sneak in after spending

    JACE BALDWIN POV The prison guard hurriedly clicked the heavy padlock that kept the barred door in place before flicking it open with a loud clattering noise as the door slammed into the brick prison wall.A whimper reached my ear and my heart constricted when Carly's curled form shifted into the wall as if trying to hide herself from intruders.Maybe to protect herself from further harm.She lay on her side, her knees pulled up to her chest, her head dropped down such that her chin rested on her knee, her right hand served as a pillow while her left hand tightened around her folded legs.Carly made no further move, she was shivering as her flimsy pale blue tank top and denim cut-offs did nothing to protect her from the cold hard floor she lay on.With a silent nod, the prison guard trotted off somewhere.Silently, I placed the small plate of peanut butter and jelly sandwich I brought along on the floor.I scanned around the tiny space that reeked of blood, sweat, cigarettes, and sal

    JACE BALDWIN'S POV Last night I couldn't sleep much, and it had everything to do with little Ms. Omega whose thoughts kept swiveling around my head like a whirlwind. I had to first take a cold bath which did nothing to help circulate blood from my south region to other veins. I should have closed my damn mouth and gone with the flow but I had to bring up the bulky mated wolf whom she was involved with. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel stupid from her reaction to the topic of her boyfriend, she had laughed as if I said the most stupid thing in the book.I wouldn't have had a peaceful night with her wrapped around my arm all night long with in-between love but I got what I deserved for talking without thinking.

    CARLY WOODS POV "I want to help you, Carly." What could she possibly think she could help me with? And what makes her think I could accept any help from her? If I was certain of one thing, it was that Addison's sleeves were always filled with mischief and I wasn't about to indulge in whatever ploy she had this time.I noticed she came alone unlike when her two little puppy dogs always wag their tails around her like an obedient dog."What makes you think I'm in dire need of your help?" I asked, shoving another forkful of fruit salad into my mouth. My taste buds couldn't get enough of the juices that dropped on my tongue from the various fruits I combined to make up the small bowl of salad.My eyes stayed glued on Addison as she carefully pulled one of the unoccupied wooden seats, my legs were crossed on one of the empty seats, the half-eaten plate of salad rested casually on my left hand while the stem golden fork was held loosely on my right hand."Oh trust me you do." She smirked

    There was a brief silence from the other end and I waited patiently for his response. I didn't know what decision he was going to make but I was hoping he at least tried to ponder on it."How will that help with anything? Not all women are willing to attack a punching bag and get tossed into a tree, you know?" Beta Ian questioned but I could hear the wheels in his head turning as he tried analyzing the offer I presented to him."It's not a matter of who is interested in breaking a nail or whatnot." I paced around the warm fluffy rug that was laid on the living room floor. "It's about finding the earth wolf." I flipped my hair over my shoulder. "Everyone becomes stronger the more they're involved in physical and mental training, think about it, if she's in this pack, her abilities will heighten during training and she won't be able to hide it from anyone anymore."I noticed the clanking of utensils in the kitchen came to a stop and I slowly made my way there to see what Alice was keepi

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter 98 - AN OPEN TRAINING

    CARLY WOODS POV The sound of plates and utensils clanking in the kitchen reached my ear as I sat silently in the living room gazing into my phone that was on the dial. It was weird that I didn't find any tangible information about this mystery wolf in any books. What was going on? I had a feeling someone took the initiative to rid the library of any book that mentioned the earth wolf. I was sure enough to bet my entire wardrobe of no fancy dress. I felt bad for the not-so-lucky woman who was blessed with the earth powers because the number of perverted and selfish men who wanted her was enough to make up a little pack. "To what do I owe this pleasant phone call?" The deep male voice that I was slowly getting used to resonated from the other end of the phone. "I thought maybe I should call to find out how many pieces those rogues ripped from you yesterday." I smiled, leaning back into the warm couch, my free hand rubbing the still-growing bump in my stomach, clear evidence of t

    "Julian?" Her eyes danced with unbelieve effectively losing the hot and hateful glare that dominated her eyes a while ago. I was a bit distracted by the sight of her in my white collar dress shirt that fell like a dress down to her mid-thigh. Her smooth skin teased my eyes as it glittered in the bright light that shined from the ceiling. For the first time, I was happy to see my clothes being worn by someone else. The white material of the shirt complimented her skin and body as though it was made just for her. I wanted more than anything to pull her in for another round of kisses and never let go. I wanted to lose myself in her, knowing she would guide me back, like a small spark of light in the dark. "Are you being serious right now?" She said in between laughs, snapping me out of my reverie. Her small hands shoved me away from her. "Julian? All this 'I can't' was about Julian and here I was thinking it was about your fidelity to a fiance you've already cheated." She scof

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter 96 - YOU REALLY ARE DUMB

    JACE BALDWIN'S POV I used all the restraints and self-control I could muster to not take this woman who was offering herself to me. From the second a coy smile curled on the little vixen's lips, I knew she had realized the effect her little grinding stunt had on me. My fingers dug into the exposed flesh of her waist as I held her in place, forcing her waist to stop its relentless moves."Are you sure you can't?" She whispered, her lips brushing feather-light kisses on mine sending jolts of electricity through my body, her left ring finger lightly traced my triceps."Carly,-" "Yes, Alpha."Carly purred, sucking the bottom of my lips before pulling back not giving me the chance to finish the words that got lost in my throat. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop the moan of pleasure that vibrated from my chest, causing her to pull me closer to her."You must have been stressed from the sudden attack by the outlanders, allow me to release your stress." The heat in the honey-br

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter 95 - STAY WITH ME

    I was a bit surprised at the demand and urgency of his kisses. His huge hands caged me into the hard mounds of his body.His hands around me were a bit shaky and I could sense fear and desperation from the emotions he pushed into the kiss. What could he be afraid of that'll cause his hands to tremble like a leaf in the wind?For every step Jace took forward, I took a corresponding one backward until I was sandwiched between him and the wall, his body pressed against my growing stomach. One hand cupped my face, raising it enough for him to have better access to my lips.I returned his kisses with the same fervency, my hands curled around his neck and my fingers woven in his thick mane. My body tingled where his roaming hands touched, and the butterflies in my stomach erupted with joy as they fluttered their wings flying around as if they paid rentals for a display space.My hands traveled to his wide masculine shoulders as I pulled him closer trying to feel the emptiness I felt in hi

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter 94 - YOU SCARED ME

    "You're more than one I guess," I muttered, shaking my head in amazement and displeasure at the level of disloyalty members of Jace's pack displayed. "More than-? What do you mean?" "What's more than one?" Mia and Stephanie asked at the same time, their confused heads whipping in my direction. The confusion on Mia's face soon morphed into anger and betrayal before it finally settled on a frown. "You ain't keeping anything from me, are you?" Mia growled, her eyes dilating into a burning yellow which signifies her anger and hurt. "Nothing," I rushed out, glaring at Stephanie. "That didn't sound like nothing to me, and if I'm correct you have information on who is rattling out the pack to those red eyes creates." I shrugged, glaring at Stephanie before glancing at a glaring Mia who just snapped out from the visible fear she was trapped in a second ago and was now staring at me as if I had the words of life and longevity. "Well? What did you mean by 'you're more than one?' And

    The curly-haired man who introduced himself as Stan drove Stephanie, Mia, and me away from the coffee shop to a secluded neighborhood I never knew existed in the pack lands. Well, there were many places I didn't know of.I looked out the window trying to figure out my location but nothing was familiar as we were surrounded by bushes and tall trees."Where are we going?" I tried not to sound as nervous as I felt about Stephanie and Stan."We're going somewhere safe and away from the North.""Why are we going away from the North?" Mia asked, her hands trembling from fear of rogues ambushing us in the secluded part of town. "We have more warriors up North and where we're going right now looks to me like warriors would rather get to guard the prison than here.""You are right, kitten. That's why rogues would rather go where they'll feel fulfilled after killing a warrior than snapping the neck of a weak and defenseless wolf. An arrogant rogue leader will send his goons to take down the str
