Dare 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

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'
Last Updated : 2025-02-13Dare 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

JACE BALDWIN POV I spent the remainder of the day doing my Alpha duties as if nothing happened. I buried my nose in the pile of work I had on my desk, meeting with those who had appointments with me.I was only trying but failing to push Carly out of my head. 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

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
Dare To Mate Chapter 53 - A GOLDEN LUNA
ADDISON COBBLER'S POV "I am on my way to your home!" Paula squawked when she finally answered her call, we were two streets away from her apartment. The chauffeur has to turn around at the next intersection returning to my home. Paula had the right ideas to give me on my outfits. I didn't make up my mind on the outfit to go for especially the mask to use. I wanted something enthralling, something that would make Jace eat his heart out. Just as usual, I needed something that would snag attention my way and make me the center of not just Jace's world but the entire pack tonight. This surprise birthday bash for the alpha that the entire Lycan Territories would stream. A bash worthy of blog posts and envy of other men. Jace was yet to realize just how far I could go for him. The event planners had better not mess this up. Paula lied she was on her way here, thirty more minutes back she she was yet to arrive. To think she'd grown a little secretive lately. Was she seeing someone? Was
