Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 30: Why Did The Cow Cross The Road?
When Caph opened his eyes, he found himself with his head in Ran's lap.Ran had her head tilted forward towards him, her eyes closed, lips parted slightly, breathing deep and steady.He thought he was dreaming, so he reached out with one finger to poke her on the nose.She opened her eyes and blinked at him.His eyes were blue again.Sunlight streamed through dusty glass panes, casting a surreal white glow over the dark garage office from the night before.'It's morning,' she remarked.Vicky was curled up on her other side, torchlight poking out from under her paws.'Why didn't you wake me up when the rain stopped?' Caph asked.The sunlight made her black eyes look grey and soft.She looked away, stirring the dust motes floating through the air.'You were tired.'He had refused to let her go even though she said no. She relented for a while—until she came to her senses—and then she elbowed him away.Only to find that he had fallen asleep leaning against her.Caph had run across half th

She stared into Caph's frantic blue eyes. He was panting, breathless from conveying his feelings.Ran lost herself in the slideshow of emotions flashing through his eyes: understanding, loneliness, desire, despair, hope, delight, joy, confusion, helplessness, lust, bliss, guilt, frustration.What he felt for her conflicted with his resolution to wait for her, to help her.'I'm also,' Caph said, his voice raw, 'unable to stop thinking about you.'His eyes glowed fiercely.'So you're not allowed to stop thinking about me either.'Despite herself, Ran started laughing. It was an awkward choked kind of laughter but at the same time, the confusion that had been clinging to her fizzed away.He was being so childish!Her fingers released the folds of his shirt behind his back. She ran her hands up his side and rested them on his chest in front of her.He knew what was at stake, he knew what she worried about—he worried about it too.But in the end, his desire...'Okay,' she said at last.

Their plane from Buttercup International Airport reached New City Terminal just as the sun was setting. 'This is Ursa Minor territory,' Caph whispered to Ran as they emerged from customs and hailed a taxi to his home in The Citadel.Ran's eyes widened. 'They live among humans?'Caph nodded. 'They still keep their wolf form a secret like the rest of us but yeah, they have totally integrated into human society.'It was an impressive feat. More importantly, it was her father's dream.Ran looked around her in awe. Another pack had done it before him!It was possible!Adrenaline rushed through her.She wanted to explore New City, meet Ursa Minor's Alpha—but the taxi had stopped in front of her and Caph was holding the door open.Reluctantly, she retreated into the leather interior. Another time, she told herself.Celphus and Jelsie greeted Ran enthusiastically.She wasn't given a guest room even though there were plenty of those in their old refurbished castle.The Alpha of Cassiopeia surpa

'Please excuse the simple meal,' Jelsie said to Ran. 'There'll be food later at the Gathering so we don't usually eat much before.''Don't worry about it,' Ran replied with a polite smile. 'In Eridanus, we don't eat before the Gathering, so I'm very thankful for your warm welcome.'Caph pulled out an ornate chair and sat her in it. He sat on one side of her.His third brother, Cam, sat on her other side.After a moment, Caph's two older brothers and Celphus entered the dining room, arguing. They stopped as soon as they saw Ran.Celphus greeted her again, his muscular hand swallowing hers whole as he shook it. He introduced Ran to his other sons. Cast, the oldest, Beta of Cassiopeia. Covi was the second son, the Delta. Cam was the third, just one year older than Caph. He was a Gamma leader.She was not surprised to find that Cassiopeia retained the traditional pack hierachy where the Alpha's children were given ranks within the pack. That way, leadership was passed down the same bloodli

After dinner, Nusha cornered Ran in the bathroom.'I'll get to the point,' she said as she locked the door. The effortless smile she kept up throughout dinner disappeared. She stalked up to Ran.Ran continued washing her hands.'Cancel your betrothal to Caph while I'm asking nicely.'Ran twisted the tap shut and flicked the water from her hands onto Nusha. 'No thanks.'Nusha's yellow eyes narrowed, her ethereal face twisting into a fierce scowl.'You're exactly who he said you'd be.'Ran blinked. 'What?'Nusha crossed her arms. 'You're using Caph, aren't you? For your selfish ambitions. It's gonna ruin Cassiopeia and Caph—dragging him into your family drama like that. Is that what you want?'The fairy-like brunette leered.'To you, it doesn't matter what happens to him. He's just your pawn.''But you're serious about him?' Ran asked.Nusha paused. She rolled her eyes.Glared daggers at Ran.'Of course. We grew up together.'She leaned closer to whisper into Ran's ear.'We've even had s
Last Updated : 2022-04-15Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 35: Behind A Waterfall
Polemon County's Full Moon Gatherings took place in misty forest cave behind a waterfall. Just as Caph had been surprised by the large number of her pack members going to the Gathering, Ran reacted the same way when they met up with his brothers and the other Cassiopeia wolves.His pack was startlingly small. Aside from his family, there were only ten other werewolves, three of whom were pack elders.It was worse than she thought.What Nusha said to her in the bathroom of the ancient castle echoed in her mind.If Caph followed through with her fake arrangement and returned to Cassiopeia after she succeeded in becoming Alpha, his pack might really collapse.Cold sweat, instead of heat, drenched her as she morphed into her black wolf and raced alongside his pack. She kept pace with Caph's beautiful red-brown wolf, watching his sinewy muscles flex and stretch as they streaked side by side along the forest pass.He knew, it occurred to her suddenly. She had proposed their fake arrangement

As the Alpha of Ursa Minor reported his pack's achievements for the month, Ran noticed that Caph was distracted. Normally, she wouldn't have cared.Caph had no interest in the formal aspects of the Gathering. Much less the droning-ons of the Alphas about how strong their packs had become in one month, how many new mouths to feed and what new venture or ambition they were up to next.At her county's Gathering, she had spotted him twiddling his thumbs and ogling at the females in the crowd—which she realised later was actually just him counting the number of right-handed werewolves present.Sure, he was more responsible now that he had playacted as Alpha protege for a while, but his hobbies hadn't changed that much.Back then, he had continuously whispered the numbers into her ear and kept prodding her to look at something he found interesting.This time, Ran noticed his blue eyes were dull, skimming over the crowd as if he did not see anyone in front of him.There was a restless energy

'Excuse me.' Ran dipped her head respectfully to the three women. 'I need to find Caph.'She vanished, leaving Panri, Yula and Ruby staring at the edge of the stone seat where she had been sitting just a moment ago.'Go girl!' Yula squealed.'Tell him I said congrats,' Panri yelled.Ran wove through the crowd of werewolves, searching for Caph. She could sense him vaguely on the periphery of her consciousness by the buffet spread talking to someone—just like she guessed.No, it wasn't a guess.She knew it.If she found him there, it would be the final proof.They were bonded mates.She forced her way through the huddled groups of werewolves in her way, making a beeline for Caph.After that, she wouldn't deny it anymore.Finally! Finally, right?Ran slowed, stepping around people instead of charging straight through them.But what would this mean for their betrothal that had been just announced?And their fake arrangement.And her plans to be Alpha of Eridanus.She was so excited to lear

Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 50: Their Wedding
Cass knocked on the door of Ran's bedroom even though the door was not closed.'What is it?' Ran asked tiredly without turning around.Since dawn, she had been forced to wash her face three times, sit in a bathtub full of milk and have her leg hair ripped off her skin because apparently all brides do that.She managed to avoid everyone for the past three days and locked herself up in her room, refusing to eat or get some sun. Cursa tried suggesting she should do her Beta rounds one last time, accept everyone's congratulations, and smooth things over with the pack after that disastrous and confusing gathering.Ran had told her to piss off quite unpolitely.She heard Acamar march up to her room once, ready to barge in and order her out but he had been accosted by Cass who said that her hunger strike had a plus side—that usually brides went on a diet before their wedding but Ran's had been announced too late for her to do that.Her uncle grumbled about her not needing a diet anyway but so
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 49: An Announcement
Ran burst into the Eridanus manor just as her family was eating dinner.Nugo almost choked on his mouthful of grilled sausage when she threw the dining room door open and let it crash into the wall. Acamar frowned disapprovingly at her.'You're three days too early,' Cass remarked, pulling out a chair for her.Ran refused to sit down.She turned to the Regent and declared, 'Gather the pack. If you won't do it, I will.'He stared at her, cheese sauce dripping onto the table.He put down his fork and grunted.He didn't ask any questions.He didn't demand to know why she came back earlier than expected, why she returned without Caph.He strode to the porch of the manor and let out an ear-splitting, commanding howl that reverberated for miles.He returned to the dining table and dunked his sausage into more cheese sauce.Ran was surprised.Cass just grinned stupidly at her.A shiver trickled down her spine.As Cursa began clearing the table, werewolves began to arrive. Nugo positioned hims
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 48: Plans Change
When Ran returned to Caph's room, he had fallen asleep on top of the blanket. She sat next to him and watched him breathe. His red-brown hair was still damp and messy around his face, his lips slightly parted.Ran leaned close to him, parting her own lips.He opened his eyes.'You'll fall sick if you sleep with wet hair,' she whispered.The blue in his eyes were like swirling galaxies, swallowing her whole.He reached out his hand and played with a strand of her hair.'What did my father say?'She shook her head. 'Nothing good.'Caph continued to examine her veiled expression. She met his gaze without flinching.Finally, he sat up and wrapped his arms around her waist.'I know about what my father did to your parents.' He looked away. 'I followed you to New City and overheard your conversation with the ex-Eridanus werewolf.'Ran carefully tilted his head back so the blue galaxies enveloped her again. 'And Nusha followed you?'He looked away again.She cupped his face and forced him to
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 47: What's The Use Of Family?
When Dingo's warriors burst out of the adjacent hotel rooms, shifting into their wolf forms, the logical thing for Ran to do was shift into a wolf as well and defend herself. Instead, Ran hauled a winded Dingo to his feet and shifted only one arm, holding a bared claw to his artery.'One move and your Alpha dies,' she said.They stopped instantly, skidding to a halt in front of her, helpless because of who she held hostage.'Bow,' she commanded.The wolves lowered their heads reluctantly.Dingo groaned in her arms.Nusha pulled herself into a sitting position, spitting blood from her mouth.'You can't threaten me with his life,' she rasped, staggering towards her. 'Kill him if you like. We were just using each other to get rid of you.'Just as she was about to shift into her wolf, Ran dropped Dingo and plunged her hand into Nusha's chest, digging past the bones to rip out her heart.Her fairy-like face lost its colour, her yellow eyes dimming like a latern that had been blown out.Now
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 46: I'm The Superior Of The Guy You're Pretending To Be
'I'll cooperate,' Ran repeated to a dumbfounded Dingo.She frowned at him when he didn't respond. She jangled her bonds. The silver burned her wrists, making her wince.'Hello? Dingo? Are you there? I said I'll cooperate, so tell me about Caph.'A sinister smile stretched across his handsome face. 'Ah, I've hit the sweet spot, haven't I? I was right,' he mused to himself. 'You don't really like Caph after all.'Ran shrugged. 'Like you said, I'll do anything to achieve my goal. If Caph is behind my parents' death, then I will kill him myself.' The look she gave Dingo made his hackles rise. She meant it.He smiled again. 'Good. We have a deal then.'Slipping on a pair of gloves, he unlocked the silver handcuffs and began to undo the many knots tying Ran down to the arms and legs of the chair.She watched him warily. 'How much do you know about what Cassiopeia has done?'He glanced up at her and went back to work on the knots. 'I'm not telling you anything until you pledge to become my mi
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 45: Heads and Tails
In his wolf form, Caph followed Nusha's scent to the bus stop. After she left the castle the previous night, she took the last bus out of The Citadel. It wasn't difficult to guess where she was headed.Caph chose to run straight to New City instead of shifting back and taking the bus.There was no time to lose.Nusha had too much of a head start.She could be anywhere in the large metropolitan city.'Think!' he commanded himself as he shifted back, ignoring the humans staring at his drenched appearance. Ran had met her ex-pack member at Starbucks before she caught Nusha kissing him. She probably went back there—or at least headed in that direction.It was the only place in New City that she knew about after all.Maybe there were traces of her scent left.Even better if they overlapped with Nusha's.Once he reached the bus stop where Nusha cornered him, her scent was indistinguishable. There were too many people passing by.As he passed the tall metal tower that marked the exact centre
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 44: Achieving One's Goal Without Hard Work
When Ran opened her eyes; every part of her body had gone numb. Her hands were chained behind her back with silver handcuffs. When she moved, the silver burned her skin. The rest of her was tied down to a chair—a surprisingly comfy one.Her head throbbed.This was a weird situation to be in.Her captor reclined on the large bed that took up much of the hotel room. He held a remote control in one hand, his eyes fixed on the large TV screen behind her. Heavy curtains decorated one wall and soft yellow light glowed from hidden crevices in the ceiling and furniture.They were in a hotel room.As Ran surveyed her surroundings, Dingo turned to look at her.'We're still in New City,' he told her. 'For now.'She shot him a death glare. He smirked and shuffled to the edge of the bed.Ran tried to wrench her leg from its bonds to kick him. The rope didn't even budge.He clucked disapprovingly, then said to himself, 'Well I suppose you don't like me very much anymore.' Dingo turned her chair arou
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 43: Bored Games
Nusha had guessed right: Caph didn't go after Ran because he knew Nusha would follow him. He wanted to avoid a confrontation between them.And as much as possible, Caph wanted Ran to have nothing to do with Nusha.For all he knew, Nusha might have known about the attack on Eridanus.If she was privy to his father's schemes, it would be detrimental to Ran if Nusha knew she met up with an ex-member of her pack and now knew everything.It had taken all his willpower to resist going after Ran.She had seen something unsightly. He wanted to explain.She was pissed. He wanted to watch her get jealous.She wanted him to go after her. He wanted to go to her.Her wolf was calling for him.But he couldn't answer her cry.He had to make sure Nusha was preoccupied for the rest of the day.Thinking about what he overheard from Ran's conversation with Fang was something he'd have to do another day.The bus lurched and Nusha threw herself at him for the umpteenth time. He gently pried her fingers fro
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 42: Who's The Lucky Guy?
Caph stepped backwards. 'Not now, Nusha. I'm busy.'She stepped up to him firmly. 'I dropped out of Middleton University.'He stuffed his hands into his jean pockets and let out a sigh. 'I guessed that much. You're here in the middle of the semester after all.'Middleton University was a prestigious one, difficult for humans to get into—even worse for werewolves.'What did your parents say?' he asked. Nusha shook her head and stepped forward again, snaking her arms around his neck. 'That doesn't matter, Caph. I'm telling you that I'm home for good. I quit school so that I can be by your side.' She hugged him tight and whispered, 'Will Ran do that for you?'Caph unravelled her arms and put them back by her side. 'She doesn't have to. You don't have to either.'Nusha interlaced her fingers with his, her yellow eyes running across his skin sensuously. 'I know I don't. But I did it because that's how much I want you. I will wait for you, Caph.' She tilted her head. 'I will always be be he
