His Unwanted Mate Chapter 39
I didn't have enough time to look in the other stalls, maybe she was hiding in one of them but I knew there was also a back exit close by. If she'd moved fast enough, she was probably out of the store already. This was the closest I'd ever come to unmasking my stalker, but I'd failed again and she hadn't said anything that revealed her identity. I wasn't even sure if she was human or not, but judging from her choice of words, she seemed to know a bit. “Eva” Esme called out to me again. I could hear her getting closer. “What's taking so long? Do you need some help?”I took a deep breath and let it out. I turned towards the direction Esme would be coming from, giving one last glance behind me. A part of me thought she'd jump out and stab me in the back. I didn't think she had any intent to kill. She only wanted to scare me, but why?“Eva?”“I'm over here” Esme came and took a good look at me. “Oh you look lovely, you should come take a look in the mirror”“No, that's fine. I think i

It was exactly 7:30 pm when the doorbell rang. Esme ushered me downstairs to welcome her parents. Kieran was still in his room getting ready. Esme turned to me before she opened the door,“Relax, you'll do great” I smiled at her words of encouragement. The door was opened and I was soon face to face with Mr and Mrs Lightwood. Both Kieran and Esme bore a striking resemblance to their parents. Kieran looked more like his father and Esme like her mother. They were probably in their late forties but managed to look almost a decade younger. “Mum, dad” Esme exclaimed as she threw herself into a hug with them while smiling. Her parents hugged her back, matching her energy as they smiled at the reunion. I almost felt like an outsider just standing there, staring and ruining their moment. I smiled awkwardly when their eyes fell on me.“And you must be Eva” Mr lightwood said,“Yes sir” “Oh, call me Ralph, sir makes me sound like I'm 50”“But you'll be 50 in two years dad” Esme pointed out“
His Unwanted Mate Chapter 41
Dinner went somewhat smoothly after that little confrontation between Kieran and his dad. I understood Kieran better already, he had a lot of unresolved issues from childhood… I couldn't imagine what it would feel like losing my mother at such a young age.I'd lost my dad too but I was too young to remember anything about him. I was sure Kieran still had memories of his mother that he held onto.I was curious as to what had happened to her but I didn't want to pry or bring up topics that could potentially cause more arguments, so I left it. I knew that eventually I would learn exactly what had happened. Esme and her parents made small talk and I gave polite responses and made small comments when I needed to. Kieran on the other hand just eat his food silently. He looked like hed rather be anywhere else in the world at that moment. “Thank you for the lovely meal Eva” Melinda said as Esme and I cleared the dishes from the table.“I'm glad you enjoyed it” “You're not leaving by this t
His Unwanted Mate Chapter 42
I left Kieran and his dad before they realised I was listening to their conversation, and I went back to my room. I was only being used. I wasn't anything special and I didn't need to feel special because none of it would last. I'd be discarded like a piece of paper once I'd fulfilled my purpose.A purpose I didn't even know yet. How was I sure I'd be able to do what they wanted? What did they want? Ralph had sounded like it was something big to ask from me and not having a clue as to what it was scared me. I knew I'd gone too deep to just pack up and leave. But did I even have a choice? I heard a knock on my door and I scrambled back into my bed pretending to still be asleep. I heard the knock again so I answered as I tried to sound sleepy. Esme walked in.“Good morning. My parents will be gone after breakfast so I thought you should join us”“Oh, okay. I need to get ready first”“Take your time”I rolled out of bed when Esme left. I got ready for breakfast with little zeal. I jus

I made it back home early in the afternoon, it was near evening already and Mrs Danbury’s words had been troubling me since. The danger is close. I repeated over and over in my head. I'd tried asking her what she meant, instead she just smiled and left me with the warning to stay safe. No one had gone missing recently, and my stalker didn't seem to be life threatening anymore. I couldn't fathom what danger Mrs Danbury was referring to. How was I to stay safe from an unseen malevolence?That was all I could think about as I waited for mum to return. I tried studying a bit since I was behind on school work but I could barely get anything done due to my anxiety. At about 6pm I heard the door downstairs open along with the jingling of keys as the lock was turned. My mother was back. I left my room to meet her.She was visibly tired, if the dark circles under her eyes said anything. Her short hair was pulled in a loose ponytail and her posture seemed more tense than relaxed. She was cl

As I stared at the picture in the locket, I realised it was the first time I'd seen anything relating to my dad in years. Why now? Why did mum suddenly decide to bring him up now? What had changed?“This, was the last picture we took as a family before we lost your dad…” Mum took a pause to refrain from tearing up, “I had decided to give it to you when you were older, and I think it's long over due. I was just scared to talk about him again especially in the past tense…”She placed the locket in my hands and covered my hand with hers. “I want you to keep it with you at all times, it'll be like having a piece of him with you. I know you don't remember much about him and that's partially my fault, I should've spoken to you about him more, and I will when it's time. But for now, I want you to know that he loved you so much and I do too. I want to try to make up for lost time, so I'll try to be around more henceforth”Mum took her hands away, her gaze never leaving me. I was at a loss fo
His Unwanted Mate Chapter 45
Esme and I arrived at school early enough. James was nowhere to be seen yet. It was sad that we couldn't all talk about these issues together. It was clear that we all had our individual secrets and we only shared what was convenient. So far, James was the only one that hadn't kept anything from me.We decided to wait in one of the empty classes till the first period started. As we sat inside, two girls passed by the classroom and stood by the door to keep conversing. Both of them were dressed in short uniforms and they had ribbons tying up their ponytails. Cheerleaders, I thought. One was blonde and the other a brunette. I didn't know their names, although I was sure they'd be quite popular. “I heard it was just a random decision, like no warning at all. Like why would they just ship him off like that?” The blonde spoke.“They said he went to some military boarding school in Germany. He could've at least finished high-school first” “Oh please, Adam already repeated 10th grade twic
His Unwanted Mate Chapter 46
It had been 3 months since I learnt about Kieran's secret but it felt like just yesterday when I stood in his room in nothing but an oversized sweatshirt, staring him in the eyes as his face twisted and contorted into something beastly. A lot had changed since then. Slowly I'd become more involved in discussions of the supernatural. Things like that no longer surprised me, and in all that time my stalker hadn't returned. Perhaps she had gotten bored of toying with me. A part of me still wondered who she was. Since Jayden went missing, about 4 more cases had been reported, and unlike Jayden, these people were never found.Eventually, the mayor's office issued a curfew to keep people save. Everyone who'd gone missing was between the ages of 15 and 25 and they were all male. We were still trying to get leads related to Adam or the missing people but they'd all seemed to disappear without a trace.Mum was still barely at home during the week but she made up for her absence during the we

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
