Marked Against Her Will Chapter 42 - Inclusion
“Wow, really? Thanks, girl!” Leo went to Gareth and Ren, to start discussing what their strategy would be.“Are we supposed to join them?” Hana inched closer to her and asked.She grimaced, “I’d rather not.”“True. He might just let us win if you’re there.”“What?” Polly couldn’t believe her friend said that.Hana raised an eyebrow, “What? Don’t tell me he wouldn’t let you win? He’s your mate.”“I doubt it. He’s proud of his strength and expertise. He’s more likely to turn it into a training session, just to point out everything I was doing was wrong.”“Huh. Really? Won’t he act like a protective mate, who would concede defeat immediately just so he doesn’t hurt his beloved?” Hana teased but Polly shook her head. That shouldn’t be possible. To her, the man was quite impartial. He didn’t act the way she expected when she tried training in Blood Moon. He let her fight her own battles, which she clearly didn’t win. He was unsupportive like that.“You guys should get Luna’s permission if

“Jared, let go!” She called his name to make him stop and she was relieved when he finally freed her.He stood there in front of her, waiting for what she has to say. She’s within her rights to be angry and to scold him. Seeing his docile stance, Polly took a moment to collect herself.“Look, I have already told you that Ren is only a friend. He doesn’t like me.”“Don’t say his name.” He interrupted, making her frown.“What?”“Don’t say his name.” He repeated, maintaining his serious tone.She was rendered speechless by his request and looked helpless. “Seriously?”The man shrugged, “I would prefer it if you don’t say his name.”Polly pursed her lips, curious of something. “What exactly are you feeling towards him? Are you simply angry?”He raised an eyebrow at her inquiry and shook his head. “It was jealousy. You admitted before that you liked him. Whenever you’re with him, I couldn’t help but think that you still do.”Her lip twitched, “But I already told you . . .”She was unable t

Polly frowned when she saw him like that. “Here.” She pushed the packet of snacks onto his hand and he instinctively held them. She was already eating so he did the same.“Are we going to continue watching them? I think we saw enough for one day.” Polly asked Sab and this confirmed his suspicion.Damn. It actually hurt. He felt a pang of pain over his chest. Sab glanced at him and smirked.“Alright. Those earlier matches would be your material. Analyze them again and write a report for me. I’ll collect them tomorrow.”“Yes, Luna.” Polly and her teammates all replied.“I’ll get going first. I still have plenty of things to do.”“Go ahead, Luna. We’ll be fine here. I’ll make sure everyone doesn’t slack.” Leo promised, making Sab smile while the others rolled their eyes at him.“As if we would dare.” Hana jokingly kicked his shin.“Ouch.”Jared had a thought. Since they’re not watching his matches anymore, he’s thinking of declining them. It proved to be difficult. The others provoked hi

She took out a small cup and asked him, “Do you want me to place two scoops of vanilla and top it with the remaining mango?”“That won’t be a weird mix, is it?”“It shouldn’t be. Vanilla’s quite universal and goes well with most flavors.”“Do that, then.”“Anything else?”He squinted. Would she want company as she enjoys her ice cream? Or would she want an extra cup?“Give me another cup of vanilla.”“Cool. Toppings?”“Whatever goes well with it.”“Alright. Here you go.”Jared paid and went out, hurriedly going to the pack house. He wanted to be early so he can go in and get out quickly. The ice cream would melt if he stays longer.When he arrived home, Polly and the rest have just finished their sessions. She arrived fifteen minutes later.“You’re here?”“Hmm. Do you want to eat dinner now?”“Oh, no. Did you get me some ice cream?”“They’ve run out of mango. I only got vanilla.”“Oh. That’s fine, too.” She’s a little disappointed, but still happy to have ice cream.She went to get th

“We can have a one-on-one later. I’ll train with you. I just didn’t want you to distract me from your teammates. If you joined them, I would be more concerned about unintentionally hurting you. I won’t be able to focus on actually fighting them.”She was made speechless by his reply and her cheeks burned. Damn. He could actually say such things? They sounded sweet and he stirred her heart. Still, she didn’t like being singled out. It felt as if she’s the odd man out.He tapped her shoulder, hoping she would give him a response. When she still didn’t, he leaned over and pressed a kiss on her forehead. Her eyes widened and stared at him with her mouth open. What did he just do?“You . . .” She was stunned speechless.The bastard smiled, “Don’t be upset. I really didn’t mean anything hurtful by it. I didn’t mean to imply that you’re not as good as them, or that you’re incapable of fighting. I know you’ve trained hard and you’ve done well protecting yourself when I couldn’t. You’re a brav

He cleared his throat and followed Leo.Polly took deep breaths, calming her racing heart. She approached them. The least she could do was spectate their match.Jared faced them. With a nod from Ren, the others went into their respective position. Polly was concerned. Jared should be familiar with every kind of strategy there was. She grimaced when she noticed the smirk on his face. She’s worried about her teammates.They began and as she watched, she pursed her lips, wondering how things would be different if she was there with them. Squinting, she thought of a goal. She would convince Jared to let her join her team’s challenges against him. Maybe he’ll give in if she’s persistent? He’d never been violent against her so she shouldn’t fear that he might react in such a way. The worst he can do is to yell his refusal in her face. She’d been there, so it’s fine.Sighing, she watched as Jared skillfully evaded everyone’s attack. Damn. It was already two minutes in when Ren finally manage

Polly took a deep breath before replying, “Yeah. I’m fine.”She moved to place her feet on the ground and he helped her stand.“Polly, are you alright?” Hana shouted from above.“Yeah. I’m good.” She shouted back, but didn’t dare to look at her friend, sure she’s going to tease her again.“Be more careful.” His tone carried his concern and it made her look at him. His eyes . . . for some reason, her heart began to race. This feeling . . . was unfamiliar. She recognized the effect of the bond and she was personally annoyed by it.She moved away from him, which Jared expected. Seeing his sad smile, her heart ached a little. Why did she suddenly feel bad? What did she do?“There’s no need for you to go very high.”“It’s an added challenge, though.” She reasoned.“Move down a bit. That particular branch was in the way. It would be bad if you stumble on it again.”Polly stared at the tree, “If it happened to you, would you have been able to land safely? Even when part of your body hits som

After they were done with training, Polly felt different. For the first time, she felt it was all for naught. She wanted . . . something else. She wanted their training to matter more. She wanted to be stronger. She bitterly smiled as she looked at Jared. What are the chances he would actually help? Maybe he’ll just belittle her again. “Where do you want to train?” “Near our place? There’s no reason to go somewhere else.” Jared smiled at her use of the word “our” to refer to the house they’re living in. He’s glad that she’s owning it with him. “Alright.” Polly side-eyed him as they walked home. Jared noticed her expression and was puzzled. “What is it?” “Are you really going to help me train?” “Yes. What are you thinking?” She pursed her lips before telling him what’s on her mind. “You’re not going to use it as an opportunity to pick on me, are you? To prove I’m weak and to dissuade me from doing more trainings?” Just as he was about to ask “Why would I do that?”, he realized

The alpha king audibly sighed in exasperation. These kids! Why don’t they listen?Thankfully, Jordan didn’t react negatively. In a way, he felt relieved that he could tolerate her proximity now. He managed a smile, which she promptly returned. He looked more handsome when he smiles!When the guy Alex called showed up, Jordan tensed up again.“Just stay there for now. We’re doing an experiment.” Alex instructed.“Alright.”“You’re not looking at him.” Alex noted, wondering why the boy would display aggression.Jordan grunted, “I could very well imagine him looking this way. At her.”Alex sighed. So, the potion worked for his possessive tendencies, but not for aggression.Through the mind-link, Alex asked the other boy to move closer. Jordan growled in warning and Alex told the boy to go, thanking him for his participation.“Were you like this yesterday? It’s a wonder you haven’t brawled with anyone yet.”“The training helped in distracting me. Right now, there’s nothing to distract me.”

She sheepishly told her parents what happened and she didn’t like the look her father was giving her.“He already told you that he’s having difficulty controlling himself and you still went to corner him? What were you thinking?”She pouted as she explained, “I just wanted to see for myself what exactly he’s going through.”Alex sighed. “What would you have done if he lost control? You should be thankful he managed to stop.”“Why is it my fault? It’s his responsibility to control himself.”“But you went to him, triggering the bond further. In that sense, it was your fault.”“Still, nothing really happened. I’m fine. Why is it that he’s strongly affected by the bond? The others I’ve seen weren’t.”This time, it was her mom who replied. “It’s different for everyone. You should be glad you’re not as affected as he was.”Xandra took a deep breath. “Fine. I understand.” She’d seen it for herself, so what else can she say? She also became curious. Why is it that he’s feeling more compared t

Xandra sat on her bed. She took a deep breath before closing her eyes and doing her best to locate him within the castle. She can’t mess up and link to a random person. She’d done that before and it was mortifying.She pictured his face in her mind and called for his name. Jordan. She called him three times before receiving a reply.He frowned when he heard someone calling him, but he’s currently alone in his room. He thought maybe someone was calling from outside the door. Also, it was a girl’s voice. What’s a girl doing in the men’s dormitory?“Who is it?” Frowning, he got up and went to open the door. He saw a couple of guys further down the hallway but that was it.As he closed the door, he heard her voice again.“It’s me, Xandra. You know who I am, don’t you?”“Xandra?” He gulped, unsure if he’s hallucinating or not. They’re not mated, so how can they have a link?“Hmm, you know who I am, right?” She badly wanted his answer to that.“The younger princess.”“And?”Jordan took a de

A few years later, in the middle of the night . . .Xandra gasped as she woke up, her surroundings still shrouded in darkness. What is it? She asked in her head. She sniffed as she caught a faint scent in the air. It was faint but something she immediately recognized. Her mate! He’s here!She grinned as she hurried from her bed and went to her older sister’s room.“Kaia!” She shouted with much excitement.The older woman bolted from her bed and even managed to take out the knife she kept strapped on her thigh. Her expression was one of confusion, even so, she was ready to fight. “What?”“Do you still sleep with that thing? You’re inside the palace.”Kaia frowned, looked outside the window, and stepped off the bed. “What did you yell for?! The sun’s not even out yet!”Xandra jumped up and down in front of her. “My mate! He’s here!”“What?”“I can sense him! I think he just arrived!”Kaia grimaced. “Why are you excited? He might not even be someone you’ll like. Calm down!”Yeah, that se

The thing is . . . the guy she likes is a year younger than her. She was nervous when her eighteenth birthday came, hoping she won’t feel a mate bond towards someone else. She was both relieved and disappointed when she felt nothing, though. If he was her mate, they’ll only know when he turns eighteen. And so, they continued their training.As his birthday loomed, she couldn’t help the trepidation she’s feeling. Still, they remained close and for his part, he was somewhat excited. He already told her when his exact birthday was, as if it was important that she needed to know.“What’s this about?” Janelle accepted his invitation to hang out. The Royal Pack has a dormitory for all visiting trainees, but this guy was a nephew of the reigning royals. He has a room of his own, which was twice as big as a regular room in Red Rogues.“Your room is nice.” She commented after looking around.Austin cleared his throat. “Tomorrow’s my birthday. I’m wondering if you would care to celebrate it wit

“You fucked up.”Polly stated from behind Jared as they watched their son walking away.He sighed before facing her. “What do you think I should’ve done?”“You could’ve told him much earlier.”“It’s not as if it was a secret. Everyone knew we meant for Janelle to take over as alpha.”“He’s still young. He might have heard but he might not have taken it seriously. Still, you haven’t properly discussed this with Janelle either, have you?”“I’m waiting until she’s of age.”“Shouldn’t you do it sooner? What if she declines? You would’ve made your son upset for no reason.”Jared grunted before sighing. “Would she?”“From my observation, I don’t think she’s quite interested.”He sighed again as Polly stood next to him.“He’s as mature as his sister. And I think she understands that as they grow older, she’ll be physically weaker than him.”His lip twitched. It’s true that he initially planned it that way because he wanted to be unconventional. He wanted to show that he doesn’t care if his h
Marked Against Her Will Chapter 104 – Not Quite The End
Jared was worried. He left his mate and their daughter home. Polly was sick and couldn’t come with him to the celebration. The Alpha King and Luna Queen will be officially recognized. He was reluctant to go but she convinced him that he must.“You’re an alpha now. Your presence is required.”When he didn’t look convinced, she added, “We’ll be fine here. Nothing would happen. Alex already confirmed that there are no more Lycans. No one would attack us while you’re gone. Besides, don’t you remember Luna’s words? We’ll have a son soon.”Her eyes twinkled, looking forward to having another child. She has waited for so long before they were blessed with one. The prospect of having another made her excited. She wanted to be a mother. She wanted them to have an actual family, complete with children.He sighed as he relented, “Fine. I’ll come back as soon as I can.”“I know. Try to have a little fun, Jared. The war is over. When you return, we’ll be able to focus on our own lives. I’d like to
Marked Against Her Will Chapter 103 – More Surprises
He sighed, holding her tighter, “I’m not. I’m sorry I made you worried.”“I thought you were upset that I finally got pregnant and that you didn’t really want to have a child.” She finally aired her complaint, wanting to hear his reassurance.He seemed surprise by her assumption, “How could that be? I want this child. I want to give you everything you want, anything that would make you happy.”He bent down and gave her a long kiss, which was exceptional.“I want you to name her.” She implored him after recovering her wits.“Me?”“Yes. Please?”Damn. He’s feeling more pressure from this task than the possibility of becoming an alpha.“Wait. Her? How do you know it’s a girl?” He raised an eyebrow and looked down at her stomach. That’s a pity. He wanted to have a boy, an heir.She grinned at his reaction and knew what he must be thinking. “Luna told me. Didn’t she tell you we’ll have another child after you become an alpha? That one will be a boy so you don’t need to worry about an heir.
Marked Against Her Will Chapter 102 – A Near Future
“It’s not about the baby. He loves you and he wants the baby as much as you do because he knew it would make you happy. I told him one other thing. Just like you, he probably didn’t believe me at first, but now that you’re pregnant, he must be thinking the other matter will also come to pass. It’s something he has already given up on, so he’s probably having a hard time accepting it again. He’ll come around. Just give him time and continue to support him. You two are made for each other. He needs you.”Polly was relieved to hear it, but she became curious, too. “What else did you tell him?”Luna pursed her lips. “It’s not my matter to say. You should hear it from him. I’m sure he would eventually tell you. Just wait a bit more. Don’t be hurt by his actions. He’s already struggling so just show him your support. You’ve done it before, right?”She gave Polly an encouraging smile and the woman was reminded by her words. Yes, she has done it before. Years ago, she told him to open up to h
