Dare To Mate Chapter Nine - HIS JEALOUSY
CARLY WOODS POVI sat in my favorite spot under the tangerine tree hugging my legs to my chest.I mostly come here to clear my head after an encounter with Addison."This place reeks of slut...."How could she possibly say that when she threatened me to sleep with Jace?I wished Jace would say something to stop her or Nate, but why would they? I was just an omega whose feelings could be trampled on.I wasn't expecting much from them but, it would've been nice to have someone stand up for me.I knew Jace wouldn't go against Addison, he just feigned to be unaware of the insults she throws my way, well he too isn't very far from her since he does throw his fair share of insults.I hate myself for wasting my tears on these people. Biting my lips, I tried to swallow a whimper that was forming in my throat.Allowing the tears to silently burn a path down my face, I closed my eyes, my head leaning on the tangerine tree as I placed a protective hand on my still-flat stomach.I still remember

JACE BALDWIN POVThere has been a recent rumor of the outlanders trying to attack my pack and that has brought an unsettling feeling of fear to my members.My Beta Ian and Gamma Nate came over for an early morning meeting so we can map out a plan, on how to scale through if they attack. I can't afford an attack right now with the Gaia curse yet to be broken. I was slowly losing my strength and the last thing I need is for my pack members to realize I was not strong enough to lead them.I know I shouldn't underestimate their potential, it could lead to disaster, by this evening, training time will have to double. It's about time my warriors know what is lurking in the dark.I wasn't too surprised to see Carly serving breakfast this morning, knowing Addison must have asked for her to be the server just so she could be ridiculed by her friend.After breakfast, the guys and I retreated to my office to continue working on some strategies to protect the pack.I focused on the task at hand

JACE BALDWIN POV "We had plans today remember?" Addison quirks with a voice that does nothing but irritate my ears.I had a bunch of things to deal with. With Nate's sudden attraction to Carly and Carly being in the condition she's in at the moment.If Nate wanted her back, then he'd have to wait for that child to be born then he could do as he pleased with her.I guess that child was the reason I had the strange urge to protect her. I can't have Nate try to sabotage the plans we had on ground with his unwanted jealousy.Yes, he was her destined mate but he did reject her, the unwanted omega. Besides, it could've been any omega.If Nate wasn't comfortable with the plan he should've said something. So why was he now after? Was what Carly said true? Was Nate jealous of me?It can't be, we've been friends from childhood, he just needed his mate. Nothing biggie."I'm sorry my love but we'll have to take a raincheck on that." My voice was soft, trying to coax her into not making a fuss ov

CARLY WOODS POV The first thing my brain registered when I started regaining consciousness was pain. An excruciating pain that had me groaning. My hand shot up to clutch my head, in an attempt to relieve the pain even in the slightest bit.Slowly, the events crashed down on me as I remembered how horrible my morning was. To think my day started with a slight happiness.Nate had attacked me and then played it out to be my fault at his friend's arrival.The cold look Jace had sent my way probably was what made me pass out completely. Yes, I was injured and was losing more blood than could be considered medically safe and I felt dizzy yet I still fought to stay awake, I fought the hazy feelings but one cold look from that stormy sea-green orb made shivers run down my spine. I couldn't stand being on the receiving end of his anger so passing out was the safest thing my weak body could adopt to keep us safe.I tried opening my eyes but my lids seemed to be too heavy for me to manage.

CARLY WOODS POV "Oh, come on I can't swallow another spoon of anything, I'm already stuffed up," I whine with a pout lowering my spoon in the wooded tray, stretching out my arms and body in an awkward position until I heard a few cracks. Hmm, that felt so good. As the doctor had explained I wasn't allowed to move around so my ankle could heal properly. But, me being me, tried getting up to prove that I was fine and ended up tumbling on the floor because of the pain that shot through me. Damn, I didn't know it was that bad. Since I wasn't blessed in the luck department, Jace had sauntered in a few seconds later to see me writhing in pain on the floor. To say he was furious would be the understatement of the century. He went all 'I told you to stay in bed' speech on me, telling me how I was trying to defy him which would only get me punished, and that he'd let this one slide since I was already damaged. "You either eat on your own or suffer through as I feed you." There was a warni

CARLY WOODS POV In the last 5 days, I was stuck in a room with nothing but my mind to keep me busy. I wanted to go out, oh, how I missed the feel of the fresh evening breeze on my skin as I sat in the garden.Thankfully, the pain in my head had slowly died out and my ankle was healing fast, thanks to whatever medication doctor Allen gave me.Well, now I could move around with a clutch. Even though I couldn't shift, I still healed faster than a regular human because of my werewolf blood but I was surprised at how quickly my injuries were healing."I want to go out," I murmured as Jace was about to step out of my room. Jace came a few minutes ago to check how I was doing and I was hoping he'd let me go out for even an hour, I needed to breathe fresh air, I needed to feel the heat of the sun on my skin again, to feel the wind clashing against me as it whips my hair in whichever direction it pleased.Jace halted his steps, hand on the doorknob, shoulders growing rigid."Run that again b

JACE BALDWIN POV I ran to Carly's room with Ian hot on my heel, he was equally as anxious as I was. Carly's son had to be okay, he was our only way out. He was my hope for a better future, for a stronger Brookside pack. I know it sounds crazy for a father to want to sacrifice their child to stay alive but it needed to be done. It had to be done. My pack needed me, my friends needed me, and Addison needed me. And Carly and her child don't need you? Your child? My wolf snorted at the back of my mind. It's either that or we lose all our power, now would you want to become a weak and pathetic wolf? Let me guess from a big bad Alpha wolf to a nonentity. Is that what you want, huh? Because I certainly don't wish that for myself." I snapped back before blocking him out. I could feel him push his irritation on me, I can't deal with him at the moment. I had more pressing issues. In Carly's room, I caught a glimpse of the broken plate of food and glass of milk on the floor, maybe Alic

CARLY WOODS POV Fear.That's what I felt as I lay curled up in a fetal position for the remainder of the day.When the morning rolled by, Alice brought a breakfast tray that contained a small stack of pancakes, fresh strawberries, maple syrup, and a glass of juice. Finishing my food, I said my thanks which she responded with a sad smile. After that incident, Alice tried being friendly with me which I didn't appreciate. I didn't want her pity or anyone else for that. I didn't quite understand why she was nice to me again after she spent the last five days giving me cold shoulders. I wondered if what happened yesterday was hot enough to warm her shoulders. I thought sarcastically and mentally rolling my eyes. She told me how I almost lost my baby. I couldn't help but cry at the near loss of my unborn child.My child was the only thing I had to call mine even though he wasn't here. He was mine to love and protect.I don't know what I'd do if something were to happen to him.If the eve

Dare To Mate Chapter 21 - HER PLIGHT
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
Dare 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
Dare To Mate Chapter 19 - PAMELA
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
Dare To Mate Chapter 18 - THE MEETING
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
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
