His Unwanted Mate Chapter 17
I turned quickly and ran out of my room. I met Esme waiting for me outside her car. I slowed down my pace and tried to calm my breathing as I locked the door and walked back to her. She seemed to notice my distress. “Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay?”“What?” I asked absentmindedly. “You look scared… what happened in there?”I realised I still had the paper in my hand. I ruffled it before she noticed and quickly thought of a lie to tell her. “Nothing, nothing. Umm…a spider crawled on my hand and I freaked out” I let out a long sigh “see I'm fine?”She looked at me for a moment before she burst out laughing, “You're telling me that a tiny little spider just sent you packing?”“It wasn't tiny it was huge and it was on my hand” I Improvised quickly and played out the role well. “I'll need to scrub off my hand”“Come on let's go before we make you any later than usual”I laughed but it wasn't completely genuine. I looked back at the house one last time as we left. I was still shaky but

“The tale I'm about to tell you is one about love and a desire to protect those who we care most about. It happened many, many years ago, back in a time when witches existed and they had the power to do and undo.” Mrs Danbury began her story“There was a young witch named Lydia who fell hopelessly in love with her best friend, a human boy who was always ill at health. As they grew older, Lydia only got stronger in the practice of her magic while Silas got weaker and weaker”“In a desperation to save her love, Lydia cast a powerful spell that greatly upset the balance of nature. She wished to make Silas stronger and unlike any other man, and she got that, but there was also a price to pay. Silas became a monster, turning at every full moon…”As she carried on with the story, I could feel myself being drawn into it, being immersed into a new world, where it had all begun.~ALMERIA, 1500 YEARS IN THE PAST>I sat in the fields watching the swallows dip and weave, listening

Oakville, Present day>“So you see my dear, that is how the werewolves cam to be. Silas was the first wolf created by Lydia. She was very powerful and perhaps knowing that she thought she was invincible”I was left in awe as Mrs Danbury finished her story. The werewolf gene was originally supposed to be a cure. Things hadn't gone as Lydia had planned, but was it really a curse?“How do you know so much?” I asked her as she got up to clear the table.“That my dear, is a question for another day. How I know is not important. It iis what I know you should be more concerned with”“There's more?”“Of course there is. The spell Lydia used to create the wolf gene was very complex. There are lots of ties and knots that can only be undone at the right time. Many of them are best left untouched for now”“You're trying to tell me something else… what is it?”“By now, you should know there is something more going on, and you my dear are the center of it all. I'm sure you've felt it

Kieran's icy glare froze me in place. His words were like needles piercing my heart. “Don't expect anything from me. And if you love yourself, you'll stay as far away from me as possible” With that, he let me go and I fell to the couch speechless and unmoving as he left the house. It felt like a piece of me had broken inside. I was still sitting alone when Esme came and sat next to me. She pulled me closer to her as she stroked my hair. She didn't say anything, she didn't need to. Her being there was enough for me. I was still upset but I needed her. I couldn't process any emotions properly at that time.Esme accompanied me to my room and she stayed the night with me. I never really slept. I might have closed my eyes a bit but it wasn't to sleep, rather it was to stop rouge tears from leaving my eyes. I refused to cry over a man that treated me like the plague. I would not be weak. When morning came, Esme got out of bed when she thought I was still asleep and she left the room. I

I had always thought about how unlucky I was when I'd been brought into this life. Such a lonely existence. My parents, my home. I never had much to look forward to and no reason to want to wake up each day and get on with my life. My home wasn't a home, it was just a building and I did not have a family. Yet now, the thought of leaving what little I had behind to live amongst strange people scared me. “I'm not going anywhere. You can't make me”“I'm sorry Eva, and it pains me to say this, but you don't have much of a say in this. The only thing I can do as your friend is prepare you for it. I can teach you what you need to know to become Luna–”“No” I said simply, cutting her off“I know everything seems to be happening so fast and it might be scary but I promise it's not all bad… with time you'll see. You have been chosen to lead one of the strongest packs and usher them into a new era”“I don't understand anything you're saying right now and I don't even want to understand. My ans

“I don't think it was some random animal attack,” James said with certainty. It was clear to me that I wouldn't be able to change his mind or divert him from his train of thought. His mind was made up. He knew something more was going on.“James the witnesses said they heard a growl. It was definitely an animal. I mean what else could it have possibly been?”“What animal doesn't leave a single trace? I would've ripped him apart and there would be blood stains but there was nothing, nothing at all. You don't seriously think that's normal do you?”Of course I didn't think that but I couldn't tell him anything I knew. Still I knew he just needed me to believe him and not call him crazy like most people would.“No… you're right. Something is definitely up” “Exactly what I thought. I can't tell this to anyone else… they'd probably think I was crazy. But I just had to tell someone and you were the first person I thought of”His eyes met mine and his tight expression faltered away as he st

It had been confirmed, my stalker was a girl.What was her purpose? What did she have against me? And why hadn't she done anything? She was right in front of me, she practically had my life in her hands but she hadn't even said so much as a word.What if she didn't want me dead? Perhaps she was only trying to scare me for some reason. I got up and ran to the balcony, looking for any traces of the girl but she was nowhere to be found. I went back in and shut the door. I pulled the window blinds closed too before I went and sat on my bed.That door wouldn't stop her. She had proven that to me twice already. Was that her goal? To make me feel unsafe as she kept taunting me and stalking me?My mind flew back to the news of the missing boy. It dawned on me that I could've been in his position too if the girl had done anything to me. I imagined James waking up in the morning to find me missing.He would probably look for me all over the house. What would he do when he realised his fears h

"What is it you wanted to talk about Esme?” I asked slowly, getting inpatient. Her statement had triggered me. I didn't want her poking into my love life anymore. “Did you hear about the boy that went missing?”The fear I'd felt last night returned, taking a hold of my body. My eyes drifted away from Esme's and into the distance as I remembered the black clothes she had worn as she stood in front of me with an air of mystery and danger. And then I remembered her jumping off my balcony. She wasn't a human. That I was sure of and it only made me all the more terrified of what her plans were with me.I was in a completely different space and I hadn't heard Esme calling my name until she shook me gently. “Eva?”“What?”“You zoned out… are you okay?”“Yes, why wouldn't I be?”“Well, did you hear what I asked you? About the boy that went missing?”“Yes, what about it?”“I know it's a lot to ask, but I would really like it if you moved back in with us”“Why?”“He was taken by a wolf. All t

Just then, James returned with his dad. I peeled my eyes from the woman, focusing on the reason I'd come."Sheriff Smith, good afternoon.""Eva, how you doin', James here told me you needed some news articles for a uh, an essay?""Yes, sir.""Okay, you can check our old records, James will take ya,""Come on," James nudged me, and I followed him down the corridor and into a small office by the left. The room was filled with shelves. Stacked on each shelf were books and old news articles. The room wasn't dusty, a sign of regular cleaning. The only furniture in the room was a desk and two chairs on opposite ends of the table. They still looked brand new. Perhaps no one was actually posted in the office. "This is the storage room. Well, one of them. This place is accessible to the public under the right circumstances. The main storage room for sensitive information is elsewhere." I looked at all the work before me. As I advanced further into the room, I saw that the files were properl

Esme hadn't returned to the mansion after almost 2 weeks and at that point, everyone was worried. She was practically missing and none of the calls to her phone were going through. Mine and Kieran's mating ritual was happening soon too and it wasn't something that could be postponed. Everyone hoped that she would return before then.But there was no luck. It was the night of the ritual and Esme was still missing. "You look beautiful, Talia told me as she prepared me for the ceremony. I still didn't know exactly what was meant to happen. Esme was supposed to tell me and I never got the chance to ask Kieran. So I was basically going there with no clue of what was supposed to happen. "I'm so nervous" I admitted."Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll do great.""Thanks Talia"She smiled at me before she led me outside the mansion where the ritual would happen under the light of the full moon. She escorted me like a brie going down the alter and like a groom, Kieran was waiting at the e

Lying on the floor was the same water that had given me directions to the bathroom. He was sprawled out on the floor, covered in his own blood.I let out a scream, but Kieran quickly held me and pulled me back so I couldn't see the body anymore. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here. I'm right here with you. Nothing is going to happen." His voice was soothing, and he succeeded in calming me down."Come with me." Kieran led me back outside, and he notified the manager. Soon, the place was filled with cops. They questioned me, and I told them exactly what had happened. "Are you okay?" Kieran asked me while we waited for the cops to let everyone go."They threatened me, and then they used that poor man to send a message. What kind of people play with the lives of other people like that?" "Rouges can be quite brutish in their ways. They'll go to whatever lengths to prove a point. Whoever did that was here tonight, and they probably slipped out before we even saw the body" "That poor man did

I was looking forward to mybdate with Kieran. I didn't do anything fancy, especially because I didn't have any nice dresses that could fit my baby bump. Talia managed to find me a cute summer dress that fit perfectly. and she helped me with my hair and a little bit of makeup."It seems Kieran is really putting in the extra effort," She said"Yeah." "I'm happy for you Eva, you deserve to be happy." I smiled at her through the mirror as she helped me detangle my hair. Kieran knocked on my door at exactly 7:40 pm."Are you ready?" "Yes, I am,""Shall we?" He offered me his arm to take, and I did so gladly. "Where are we going? I asked him as he held the car door open for me.""You'll see." I still hadn't seen most of Blackbourne since I mostly went from home to school and back, and the route the took was on the opposite side of the roads I was more familiar with. Wherever it was that we were going, I felt safe knowing that I was with Kieran. We ended up at a high-end restaurant ove

"I'll admit there's definitely something there," I told Alaric. I didn't want to admit just how deep my feelings were. Alaric laughed. "See, I knew it. You could only play hard to get for so long. Eva's a great girl. Treat her right," He said seriously. I knew I hadn't been fair to her since we'd met, but I intended to change that. I made up my mind that once she recovered and woke up, I would take her out on a date. And then I'd confess to her how I really felt. "You know what? I'll tell her. I'm going to ask her to give me a second chance, and I won't hurt her again." "You better not because Talia's told me to break every bone in your body the next time you hurt Eva's feelings. "I won't. Not again." While we were talking, Leah came up behind me and wrapped her arms around me. I made eye contact with Alaric, and he cleared his throat and excused us. "What is it, Leah?" "I miss you,""What do you mean? You see me every day.""Barely. You're always with Eva. Just because she

4 months passed, and I was already in my last trimester. Plans were underway for the mating ritual between me and Kieran. The pregnancy had begun to weigh me down more, something about carrying a wolf baby. The doctor said I would only get weaker because the child was taking more of my life force as it grew bigger. I still didn't know its gender because I wanted it to be a surprise. I twisted in bed and let out a grunt."Be careful, Eva," Talia said as she rushed to help me into a more conformable position. "It's fine, I'm fine. Just...""Extremely weak?""Yeah, that." "I'm really worried about you. You still have 2 months before you have to deliver, and you already look halfway dead. The baby is taking too much from you." This had been Talia's Countenance since the doctor first told everyone about the baby taking up my own life force."It's okay, Talia. I already made it this far. I'll be fine, both me and the baby. You'll see" "I'm just worried about you," "I know." I sighed

James' confession and declaration of love caught me by surprise. I wasn't sure what to say or how to respond. "It's okay. You don't have to say anything just yet. I just wanted you to know" He looked out the window, and silence filled the car for a moment before he spoke again"Did you come alone? Do I need to drop you back?" "Oh, umm... no, I'm not alone. I'll just call him now." I brought out my phone, and Damien picked on the first ring."Hi, can you come pick me up at town Square?""You left the woods on your own?" "Yes, I just wanted to go for a walk. Just come now so we can go. I'm tired already. And not to mention hungry." The pancakes had barely done anything to my slowly growing tummy."I'm on my way,""We could grab a snack if you're still hungry. We're right outside the bakery." James suggested "Oh yes, thank you! That would be great. Just get me the best pastries they've got." James chuckled, "Yes ma'am." James was back very quickly, and I munched down on one of the
