His Unwanted Mate Chapter 29
It was 7:16 am in the Lightwood mansion. Esme, Kieran and I were seated in the living room as I'd just woken them up with shocking news. It was still early when I'd told them, so Esme advised we all freshen up first before meeting in the living room to talk.“I can't believe he's dead…” It felt as though somehow I was still dreaming, and maybe soon I'd wake up from this nightmare. “Esme had a hand around and shoulder in an attempt to comfort me, but it wasn't working. In my mind, I kept replying the words over and over.Jayden is dead.“How do you know?” Esme asked meI sniffled, “James called me. Apparently, after we left, Jayden ran out of the house, and he didn't return last night. His father walked into his room very early this morning… and, he…” the words refused to come out.“It's okay…” Esme said gently “I need to know exactly what happened, pull yourself together” I turned to Kieran slowly and felt all my rage directed at him.“His father found him handing from the ceiling…

>I didn't know Kieran could be so heartless. How could he just stand there and say nothing? How could he act so unbothered? Did he feel no remorse at all?I felt just as guilty, Jayden's death was on our hands because we couldn't help him. We'd only made things worse. “Eva…”“This is all my fault. I shouldn't have helped him” “Don't say that… you didn't kill him”“But I might as well have. You weren't there… you didn't see the look in his eyes, whatever happened to him was a result of what Kieran did. I told him to stop… but he didn't listen”“We're not sure what happened. You shouldn't beat yourself up so much… Jayden could've still died even if you guys hadn't gone to talk to him”“No…” I got up from the floor and walked towards the stairs. “Where are you going?”“I want to be alone”Esme was only trying to comfort me, but I wasn’t satisfied. In the end, I chose to stay by myself and let the guilt eat me up. I'd rather be miserable than feel nothing at all. I could
His Unwanted Mate Chapter 31
That night I felt lost… like somehow everything had gone from bad to worse in the twinkling of an eye and I was caught in the middle of it all. James' words echoed in my head over and over again…“It was my fault thinking you'd pick me over him”I couldn't explain the situation to James without betraying Kieran and I couldn't help Kieran and myself without hurting James. I hated this feeling of helplessness. Like I was just being tossed by the waves instead of riding them. I didn't hear Kieran returning home till late that night. I felt his lingering presence when he passed my door and I heard his own door when he entered his room and closed it. I still wanted Kieran. Despite it all, I wanted him to comfort me, to hold me in his arms and tell me everything would be fine… but I knew those desires of mine would never be fulfilled. We had been bound by a cruel fate, one I was yet to understand completely. At least I still had Esme, although our relationship wasn't as rosy as it used to
His Unwanted Mate Chapter 32
I almost couldn't believe my eyes as I stared at Adam laughing and smiling and chatting like nothing had happened. I didn't recognise the rest of the group, but I was sure they had all been together the night Jayden went missing.How could they sit around and laugh their hearts out when their friend was dead? Did they not care? Were they happy about it? I remembered what Jayden had told me that night…“They told me I had to go into the woods and wait till someone came to get me… I didn't want to do it, but my mum… Adam said he was going to make her work harder for her, he'd get her fired… and we need the money”They had definitely set him up. Was it just a prank? Were they bullying him for the fun of it? Or was there more? Did Adam know something or someone? Adam was definitely a bully. Everyone knew that about him but he mostly got away with the things he did since he was the Mayor's son. He was officially our next lead. I would tell Kieran about my suspicions as soon as I got home.
His Unwanted Mate Chapter 33
"Jayden was murdered?” I questioned, not believing it myself.“I got a friend to do some digging and we went to check his body in the morgue this morning. He had bruises all over his body and none of them were healed. Meaning he was killed shortly after he received a beating. Werewolves naturally heal faster. To keep it simple, whoever he went to meet beat him up and killed him then hung him from a noose in his own room to make it look like he killed himself”I couldn't find the words to express my shock. Is that what James wanted to tell me? What he meant when he said I wasn't responsible for Jayden's death…The question remained who could possibly want to kill him?“But why?” Esme asked, voicing my thoughts.“That is what we still don't know. There are several possibilities. But he was just a pawn in a much bigger game” Kieran said as he stroked his chin It was then I remembered what I'd wanted to tell him. He was probably right about Jayden just being a smaller price on the chess
His Unwanted Mate Chapter 34
Just as I'd predicted, loud music began playing soon after the wake and people brought out crates of beer, setting them up in their cars and makeshift tables. A group of guys set up a bonfire in the middle of the clearing. Thick grey smoke billowed into the air covering the clear night sky. The warm glow of the fire lit up the faces of those around it.Laughter and chatter could be heard all around as everyone around me partied. Some logs were arranged round the fire and I took up a seat on one of them, with Adam close on my tail.“How are you holding up?” I asked as he sat next to me.“I can't believe everyone's just going to forget him after everything,” he said.I looked back at the scene before us. “Yeah, it is”Adam took a swig of beer and sighed.I looked at the time on my phone. I was starting to get anxious waiting for Kieran. He hadn't even sent me a text yet. Adam was becoming more annoying by the second he'd already gone through 3 cans of alcohol. “I don't feel good here…

Mine?He had called me his... that was all I could focus on. I knew being his mate basically entailed that I was his as much as he was mine. But I never actually thought I'd hear him say it. Meanwhile, Kieran looked like he was ready to rip Adam apart. I knew I had to stop him."Kieran, stop" My voice was very weak but he heard me and his fist stopped mid air right before he made contact with Adam's face. He looked at me and his expression changed in an instant. He looked back at Adam and hit him again, knocking him out before he came to me. "I knew you'd come" I smiled, relief washing over me. "Save your strength" He took off his hoodie and helped me put it on. it was very big on me so it covered me up and I felt less exposed. Kieran's eyes scanned my body, checking for bruises."I'm okay..."His hands cupped my face gently as his thumb brushed over my bruised cheek lightly. I remembered how Adam had hit me and automatically flinched away from Kieran's touch.I didn't want to rem
His Unwanted Mate Chapter 36
Kieran's presence that night was all I needed and all I wanted. It would be very easy for me to close my eyes and be haunted by my dreams, but somehow, I knew that I would be at ease if he stayed with me.I looked up at him, not directly meeting his gaze. What if my grace period was over and he was already back to being his cold uncaring self. It would hurt if he told me no."Okay" His voice cleared the air of doubt in my head. At first I wasn't sure I'd heard him right. Perhaps it was my imagination playing tricks on me. So I asked again."You'll stay here with me?""Yes"He still went in the direction of the door and I panicked"Where are you going? Are you leaving me?""I'll be back. I just need to change""Okay" I sat up in the bed and hugged my knees to my chest. I'll be waiting. I... don't think I can fall asleep without you here" I admitted.He didn't say anything, instead he just stared at me for a few seconds before he left. After a while, he returned with a workout mat weari

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
