Forced To Marry The Ruthless Alpha Chapter 30
~ Katalayha's POV ~The tension in the air could be cut with a knife, partially sexual, partially frustration, and perhaps a little awkwardness. Maybe that's my fault, I haven't said m uch to him the entire journey into the city.Why can't I just say something?The relief that I feel when his car finally stops, surely isn't normal. I get out as quick as I can, hoping that some stale city air will wash out the tension."Do you regret it?" He suddenly asks me, grabbing my forearm to stop me heading into the mall.Turning, I stare up at him with a frown. Of course I know what he's talking about, yesterday. He isn't angry, just curious, and hoping that my answer is no."No, I just feel...awkward." I manage to get out, my eyes flickering from his to the mall and back again, like something is interesting.Hardin glances down at my lips with a slight frown, it's obvious something is bothering him too."You worry that things are expected of you now?" Hardin nods, sighing, like this is the las
Forced To Marry The Ruthless Alpha Chapter 31
It had been two days since the shopping trip, I'd spent most of that time with Hardin, talking, getting to know each other. I don't think either of us have had this before, Hardin has been honest with me about his past relationships, although I wouldn't say it was a relationship given that he never really wanted it.For the most part, I find myself settling comfortably into the whole mate thing. It's easier now that we actually talk, I mean, the bite may have played a part in making me want him, but it's not just desire. We're not blurting out our deepest secrets and pain or anything like that, more like getting to know the now version of us rather than the old version. Unlike Hardin, I don't have much to say about my time before him."Stop!" I squeal, covering my face as I attempt to shield myself from his attack."Alright, alright." Hardin muses, backing off.I peek my eyes open, loosing all trust in him for a brief moment as I wait for him to do something. He doesn't, so I lower m

"These should fit you." I say, placing a couple of items of clothing on the bed, they're Hardin's of course.My brother isn't small, being of Alpha blood he's naturally large. Slightly smaller than Hardin, but still big for his age. We're eighteen, and the guys a giant compared to most males his age."I don't want to cause more problems between you and your mate." Kage finally talks, his voice far deeper than the little boy I remember."He's not as scary as he looks." I say with a small smile."Didn't look that way to me." Kage comments.My smile falters slightly."The panic attacks started a long time before my teenage years, I spent most days in a constant state of fear...Hardin has never lost his temper like that, it took me by surprise." I quietly explain.I don't want to go into detail about my childhood, but I also don't want Kage to hate Hardin, I don't want him thinking that Hardin treats me cruelly. He doesn't, that's the first time he's truly been angry with me, and with jea

"There was a man...he...he..." My entire body trembles as tears roll down my face.Gripping the thin blanket tighter around me, I duck my head and sob. The lady tries to soothe me as she rubs my shoulder, hushing me with a gentle shushing sound."I'll get you some clothes, the police will be here soon." She kindly says.I nod, sniffling as I cry. I felt the couch move as she stands, and for a minute I cry softly until she returns. The tears making my eyes burn, I was thankful when she returned with something for me to wear."Here you go sweetie, the bathroom is just on the right." She says, handing me a small pile of clothing.Sniffling, I nod my head and stand up."T-thank you."Once I'm in the bathroom, I drop the blanket and quickly get dressed. Washing away the tears with cold water, I pat my eyes a little to ease the puffiness.Humans are gullible, always have been and always will be.Listening closely, I wait for the lady to exit the front room, until she passes the door I'm sta

Pressing myself subconsciously further into the warmth that envelops me, soaking it up as greedily as I physically can.That smell.Something inside my brain seems to click, and my eyes snap open faster than I can say boo.Jumping to my knees, I fling my arms around his head and crush him against me, not just for his warmth but because I've missed him. The worry of him being angry with me is unsettling, I just want to be close to him right now. What if he doesn't want to be near me?"I'm missed you so fucking much." I hear, muffled into my hair scraggy, smelly hair. Hardin didn't care that I smell like filth, if he did, he wouldn't be touching me at all.Surprised by his words, I pull my head back slightly to look at him, but the look in his silver eyes only pains me."Are you crying?" I whisper, my own voice cracking as I stare into his watery eyes.He's always so strong, so Alpha male, taking care of everyone else first. To see him so vulnerable, it breaks my heart in ways that I do

"Have you ever been anywhere except pack land?" I voice my curiosity as we tour the french quarter, part of it anyway. The historic vibe that it gives off, Its intriguing. Just to look at the buildings and the design of everything, it's obvious that it's old. It seems to breathe with life of its own, the music and culture keeping it alive. "I've been places, always for business. I've never had time to explore or travel, it's not something Alphas do." Hardin responds with a slight shrug."What if that's what I wanted? Would you come with me?" I ask, still distracted with the people day drinking and live music in the street. Kind of like the heart of the place."Is it what you want?" He questions, slight concern showing through his voice.He assumes naturally that I want a life that he may never be able to have, travelling around the world, enjoying life to its fullest...he worries that if it's my dream, I'll leave.Is it what I want? I question myself silently."I don't know." I tell

Hours pass, as tired as I am I simply couldn't sleep. The nagging feeling bothering me, like I just needed to get something off my chest. Eventually I give up on sleep and turn over, staring at Hardin as he sleeps. This is the first time I've ever been able to watch him sleep next to me, it's quiet calming. I watch him for a while, the room pitch black but I could see perfectly fine, the nagging feeling growing stronger.Exhaling heavily, I fling the sheets off me and move closer to Hardin. Resting my arm over his stomach, I lay on my side facing him, nuzzling my face into his shoulder. His breathing is heavy as he sleeps, mouth slightly parted, so it takes me by surprise when his hand rests over mine. As if somehow in his unconscious state, he's aware of my movements.My heart warms, that same feeling returning.For the first time all night, I close my eyes and feel the tiredness slowly taking over. I begin to drift, when it strikes me.My eyes snap open, and I immediately sit up as

"Oh my god!" I let out a moan, stretching out my legs in pure relief. Over ten hours in a car, no matter how big the car is, i s still uncomfortable. I honestly don't know how Hardin isn't crippled from driving all the way to New Orleans to pick me up."If you ever leave like that again, I'm going to set everything you own on fire!" A familiar voice snaps with anger that instantly brings a smile to my face."I missed you too, Jackson." I quickly drag him into a hug. The fact that it's dark out now, doesn't stop him from being here, or any of us being able to see."I'm going to hug you back, but I'm still angry at you." He grumbles, doing exactly that. I squeeze the life out of him for about ten seconds, before stepping away.Hardin won't jump my throat over a hug, but he has limits on his control."What happened?" Jackson scowls, crossing his arms. Is he trying to intimidate me? I thought with amusement."My wolf chose to run seven hundred miles, instead of ripping that little dickhe

~ 3RD PERSON POV ~ Xander arrives on his sons land, the atmosphere lingering with death. The pack felt somewhat out of place, uncomfortable as Xander takes their Alphas place, temporarily.Beck and Zed greet Xander outside the house, welcoming him in front of the pack."Sorry I couldn't get here sooner." Xander tells the two men, shaking their hands as a token of respect. Even if they are below him, he can't deny how well they've managed the pack in the week it's been abandoned without an Alpha."You're here now." Zed's response is blunt, unable to put on a smile even for a man he's known years."Are they any closer to finding her?" Xander questions with hope, heading into the large, yet somewhat empty mansion.What is usually bursting with life, is now silent, and dull. The pack didn't just lose their future Alphas, but their Alpha female, and possibly their Alpha too.They felt that Hardin would surely return home, but the entire pack knew he would be returning alone.Kali was warn

~ Hardin's POV ~ "We expected to see Kali here, she was the one that convinced me into this and now she can't even show her face?" Maddox is the furthest thing from happy.Considering how many times I've dealt with him in the past, I know first hand how hard-headed he is. It makes me truly wonder how Kali convinced him into this alliance. Perhaps Maddox has a soft spot for my mate? I couldn't help but wonder."Kali is occupied with more pressing matters. If she could be here, she would, you know how much this means to her." I retort firmly.Maddox leans forwards, exhaling. He doesn't approve of Kali not being here, and I get the sense that he doesn't buy the excuse. However, the more Alphas that know about this pregnancy, the more painful it will be once it's over.Kali doesn't deserve to suffer, or be reminded about the loss every time someone calls, or visits."Fine. How many am I expected to take on?" Maddox grunts."For now anywhere between ten and thirty, see how it goes for a c

"You were in and out of consciousness for two days, there's no way you're not hungry." Jackson points his finger at me with a look of intensity."Can you even cook?" I ask with a furrowed look. Recalling the birthday cake he made me a while ago, It was a really nice gesture but...the guy can't cook.Jackson just scoffs, like he's utterly appalled by the accusation. "That's not the issue here, Kali."I couldn't help but smile a little, happy that he isn't walking on eggshells around me like everyone else. I hate being treated like I'm made of glass, Jackson has absolutely no filter and right now I'm beyond grateful for it."If the chef is cooking, I'll have a burger." I tell him, merely satisfying his need to feed me."Coming right up!" He beams, rushing from the bedroom to get me the burger.I shake my head a little and sigh, sitting up a little more on the bed.The depleted energy warning wasn't a joke. Despite feeling much better, I can barely walk due to having no energy. It's been

I wake again, except this time my eyelids feel somewhat lighter. Allowing me to ease them open gently without too much strain, despite still feeling bruised.I felt disorientated, confused as to what happened, and what's wrong with me. I remember pain, so much of it while half freezing to death and shivering. The headache as I open my eyes is more or less instant, even if the room is shaded.As I turn my head side to side, looking around the bedroom with the utter confusion, I notice the tube leading towards me. Despite the weight of my own head right now, I manage to lift it just enough to see the thin tube is inserted into the back of my hand."Stay calm." Hardin's voice is a gentle whisper, his hands gently taking one of mine. The relief in his voice and eyes is so loud, it worries me."What are you doing?" My voice is raspy, my throat feeling like sandpaper. I couldn't help but notice where the other end of the blood pipe leads, straight int the back of Hardin's hand.I couldn't g

"Yeah, Zed, can you show Elder Luther the map of the extension? Hardin put it somewhere and I can't find it-...are you kidding me?" I whine, turning around to see Zed holding up the map which has been staring at me for the last ten minutes."Maybe Doc should check your eyes." Zed muses."If my head wasn't screwed on I'd lose that too." I scoff, taking the map and storming out the office and back outside."Sorry for the wait, it's been a little hectic here." I admit to the Elder standing in front of me."Understandable. Has the rogue recovered?" Luther asks me, attempting to be somewhat caring."She's doing great. Winter just started training with Beck and Zed actually, she's going back to school next week so she's begun training for graduation." I say with a proud smile."Isn't she only fifteen?" Luther arches his eyebrow.I nod my head. "Winter is training to be a protector, she did want to try for warrior but given this law against rogues, protector is the closest thing to it." I ex

A couple of days passed, and my fever got worse before it got better. Doc said it would last a matter of days, and he was right. Four days drag by before it finally clears up, with the help of some homemade herbal soup that Hardin's mom cooked up. It was the first thing I'd kept down during the four days of the fever. Hardin had me on complete bed rest, practically escorting me to the toilet and bath. It's safe to say I was up and gone the day Doc gave me the all clear. Hardin didn't like it, he wants to see the results from the blood, but it's not yet back from the Elders."I feel better than I have all week, Hardin. Please, stop worrying, I'll let you know the results the second they come back." I say with a low groan, trying to push the big oaf out of the door and into his car."I hate leaving you, especially right now." Hardin growls in frustration, not budging in the slightest."I'll take good care of her Hardin, I promise." Lori promises.Hardin is hesitant, glancing between us

"How did it go?" Hardin greets me the second I exit the car, wrapping me in his arms like I've been gone days.Truth be told, hugging him is all I need right now. The whole drive back I barely spoke five words to Jackson, I felt a little numb, and confused, irritated, a little angry."He signed." Jackson announces as he rounds the car towards us."He did? That's great." Hardin is a tad surprised, but happy none the less."Yeah." I force a slight smile.Pulling away from him I brush past Hardin and Jackson, heading into the house as I pull out my phone. Dialling a number that I've literally waited an entire month to call.It rings three times, before he answers."I knew I should have said two weeks." Elder Luthers voice comes through the speaker, his tone disgruntled."I have worked my ass off to get everyone on board, don't even think about backing out now because I am in no mood-""We're not backing out of anything, we made a deal. Email me copies of the contracts and I'll start maki

"Anymore dizzy spells?" Hardin worries like a mother hen, hovering over me as I stand up. "Not in the ten minutes since your last check in." I muse, separating the delivery boxes by names."I'm worried about you, Kal. Maybe we should call the Elders?" Hardin exhales, helping me organise the large heavy boxes."So they can tell me I'm stressed, exhausted and need rest? I'll sleep and rest when this is all over." I state firmly with a small grunt as I lift a box that is far heavier than the others."I've got it." Hardin murmurs, gently budging me aside and moving the box for me."I really do feel fine, Hardin. I promise that if it gets worse I'll see Doc, alright?" I offer a small smile, wrapping my arms around him, placing my hands on his chest and my chin on his back.Hardin places his hands over mine, squeezing gently as he exhales."You realise we only need one more signature for the alliance, right?" Hardin tells me after a minute of peaceful silence."Mhm." I hum, not pleased in

"Hi! Oh, sweetie it's so good to see you again!" Lori gushes as she pulls me into a warm hug, half squeezing me to death.I just smile and awkwardly pat her back. "You too, I'm sorry about the mess...we've been a little run off our feet lately.""Oh no, hunny don't even worry about it." Lori scoffs, waving off my words as she sits next to me on the couch.The pups run riot around me, and today I just didn't have the energy to get up and play games."You look exhausted, why don't you get some sleep? I'll watch the little wolves." Lori smiles warmly, concern in her eyes as she takes me in."No, no I'm fine. Besides, you just got here." I say, sitting up a little so I look more awake."What you're doing for this girl, it's truly amazing. Is it just me or is there a lot more she-wolves here?" Lori asks with a slight frown, uncertain if she's just going crazy."Thank you, and yeah, there's a lot more actually but I don't feel like going into details." I say softly, glancing at the pups as
