Chapter 12
Cheyenne was staring at the knife on the table and looked up at Skylar.“A knife? I can’t kill him.”Skylar shook his head.“Not kill, no. Wound him enough for you to get away.”“To get away?”“I’m not going to be with you all the time, unfortunately. That is most likely when he’ll strike you. I want you to carry this knife with you, everywhere you go, even after we handle this guy.”Picking up the knife, Cheyenne nodded. It was a little heavy in her hand.“Why do you have a knife? Just on you?”Skylar tilted his head.“I always have a weapon, Princess. Werewolf world is different from the human world.”“Then I can’t take your knife. What if you’re hurt because you gave it to me?”“Princess, I am a trained waChapter 13Skylar has called everyone down to the living room to explain to them what his mate has gone through and just how they were going to help her.“Any questions so far?” Cheyenne asked, a bit nervous.The pack all stared at her, some angry at the thought of anyone hurting one of their pack mates and others more sympathetic.“So you were partying and he kidnapped you.” Aaron grit.“With a taser.” Chaskai growled.Cheyenne nodded, scooting closer to Skylar who was standing next to her in front of everyone.“He’s held her captive for years. She’s been hiding from him for about a year.” Skylar said.“He’s foundme.”A collective group of gasps and growls filled the air.“His scent was on her at work and he had been at her apartment. He’s
Chapter 14“I didn’t know they’d question you too, Skylar.”“I didn’t either. But they just wanted to know why I took you home without calling the police or something.”“What’d you say?”“I just played the dumb protective boyfriend.”“They fell for that?”Skylar nodded as he continued to drive the windy roads back to the pack house.“Did you tell them? About Oliver?” Skylar asked.“Vaguely. They wouldn’t be able to find him, anyway. That guy is a ghost.” Cheyenne frowned.“What do you mean?”“He just kind of pops
Chapter 15Cheyenne rinsed her plate and put it in the dishwasher.When she turned on her heels, she was met face to face with Havana and Nadia, nearly jumping a few feet back.“Goodness! You scared the crap out of me! What are you doing?”“Nadia was just filling me in about you and Sky. So you guys are really hitting it off?” Havana beamed.“Oh, I guess so.”“When will you have babies?” Havana asked.Nadia laughed while Cheyenne stood there, completely shocked.“It’s okay, Cheyenne, honey. For werewolves, honestly you guys would have already been trying to have babies. It’s a little more fast pace than humans.” Nadia explained.“Oh, of course. You aren’t wolf born. I keep forgetting. I’ve just grown so accustom to seeing you. I thought you were already—““It’s g
Chapter 16Everything was a blur. Everything happened so fast.Cheyenne was nearly dizzied by the out come of their first kiss together.The minute they’d connected it was as if everything she’d been trying to push down and hide was completely ripped out of her grasp, out of her control.She’d given in.Skylar had kissed her like no tomorrow and she’d finally done the same.Their tender moment had turned heated within a minute.Skylar had picked Cheyenne up with both her legs around him and nearly threw her on the bed.The way he’d touched her so gently but purposefully. Cheyenne could’ve sworn she felt tingles running through her body.Skylar had given her the chance to tell him to slow d
Chapter 17“They went to do what?” Chaskai grit.“It’s way to dangerous out there!” Nadia alerted.“I didn’t know what was going on. I just thought Aaron was held up.” Cheyenne said.“He was probably shot. The hunters are all over our territory if he was.” Chaskai growled.“Hunters?” Cheyenne didn’t believe it.“Yes hun, hunters.”“You mean there are outsiders that know about you? That want you dead?”Nadia nodded.“If Aaron was shot, we’ll need to get the bullets out. Damn it.” Chaskai growled.“He’ll die...”Nadia whispered.
Chapter 18“Did I say something wrong?” Aaron croaked, confused.“I’m gonna take him upstairs...”Havana said, dragging Aaron away.Cheyenne didn’t let it go that easy.“What was he talking about?” Cheyenne asked, crossing her arms, facing Skylar and Chaskai.“Cheyenne, don’t get mad at Skylar.” Nadia said from behind her.“Nadia, let him handle it.” Chaskai said softly.Cheyenne raised an eyebrow at Skylar waiting for him to say something.Skylar held his hand out to her.“Come. We need to talk.” Skylar said, gently.Cheyenne frowned and walked past him, ignoring his hand and making her way upstairs.That hurt Skylar and he looked to Chaskai.“Just be honest. It’s all you can do.”Nodding, Skylar made his way upstairs and to his room wh
Chapter 19Cheyenne stood there, mouth agaped and wide eyed as Skylar tried to explain further before she blew a top.“I would have to nearly kill you and then bite you. But I wasn’t going to do any of that until you were comfortable with me.”“Kill me?!” Cheyenne blurted.“No, no...”“Bite me?! Are you kidding me?!”“Princess—““I can’t believe I was so stupid! You want to put me through a bunch of pain and torture and for what?! So you can keep me for the rest of your unnatural life?!”“Listen for a second—““No! You listen for a second! I trusted you! I let you in! Only for you to turn around and lie to me, ke
Chapter 20It was quiet in the car for the first few miles before Nadia had finally broke the silence.“You want to tell me what the hell this is all about?”Cheyenne was quiet as she continued driving causing Nadia to frown.“Hello!”“I just need to get away for a minute okay. After just being told that the guy—or wolf I’m falling for is trying to basically turn me into that, I need a break.”“You weren’t supposed to find out like that, honey. Skylar has a whole plan to ease you into everything.”“Ease me into it?” Cheyenne frowned.“Cheyenne, sweetie, you stayed here with us after Skylar shifted for you. If you were so afraid or whatever, why didn’t you run?&rdqu
Prologue He stared out the window of the run down motel he’s been hiding in for about a year. The glass of whiskey in his hand sparkled against the dull sun as he took a sip, basking in its dry sweetness. &nb
I am extremely excited to present a finished book to all my supporters. For a while I didn't know if I would finish it. Through the ups and downs and bursts of inspiration as well as the writers block, finishing this book seemed impossible. Writing is my passion and I truly believe that it is something I am good at and something I can get better at. Because of this as well as the constant support system of my family and my readers, I came up with a captivating storyline and wanted to share it.I am aslo excited to soon be presenting you with a sequel to this story, now that I know where I would like this story's path to go. The sequel is a work in progress and will answer all the remaining questions I have left you with in this first book.Again, thank you all for your support and I hope to see you again in Mated Two.
Chapter 37Cheyenne paced the floors of Skylar’s room as he packed their things together neatly in separate suitcases.“It sucks we never decided who was gonna get what room...”Skylar said, trying to lighten her mood.Cheyenne continued to pace, biting the nail of her thumb. Skylar spared her a glance and furrowed his eyebrows in worry. She’s been like that since they’ve been home.They were leaving as soon as everyone finished packing. Skylar had to make sure they didn’t leave anything behind.Cheyenne wasn’t making it easy for him since he was too busy worrying about her than packing any bags up.He stood in front of her and gripped her shoulders, shaking her a bit.“Snap out of it, Princess! Nothing is going to happen to
Chapter 36“Come on, Cheyenne or we’re gonna leave you!” Aaron called from the bottom of the steps.“I’m coming!” She yelled back, grabbing a black jacket out of the closet and headed out the room door, shutting it.Cheyenne made her way down the steps in light washed jeans and a red body suit that came off one shoulder and black booties with a slight heel.“What do you think? Too casual?”Aaron raised his eyebrow, looking her up and down.“You won’t draw attention. It’s fine. Nadia on the other hand, might.”Cheyenne smiled and continued down the rest of the stairs as Aaron opened the door for her.“Is everyone already in the car?”
Chapter 35After watching her mate shift with her soon to be Alpha and run off into the dense forests, Cheyenne shut the curtains. She decided she would clean up their room and do some laundry while Skylar was gone.She threw any stray pieces of clothing into the white basket she held at her hip. She made the bed and cleaned off the night stands on either side of the bed. She even cleaned their bathroom.Cheyenne picked the dirty laundry basket up from the corner she sat it in and left the room to head to the laundry room, where she saw Nadia.“Hey, Nadia. Are you finishing or starting?”
Chapter 34Skylar held Cheyenne’s naked body close to his as he inhaled her intoxicating scent. After they had made love for what seemed like the third time that night, she had grown tired but not tired enough to fall asleep.Instead, she spent their time together asking questions about mating, werewolves, and anything she happened to be confused on.“So let me get this straight. I have to die or be dying for you to want to bite me.”Skylar chuckled.“I always want to bite you, Princess.”“You know what I mean.” Cheyenne playfully rolled her eyes.“The bite that makes you go through the Alter is la
Chapter 33“It was the same things! Control emotions this and don’t get so angry that! Dad, I already know all that stuff! I want to learn how to fight!” Cam yelled from the back seat.“Cam, I know but you have to get all of your mental and emotional training done before you can physically train.” Chaskai said from the drivers seat.“We all had to go through the same thing you do, Cameron. Any day now you’ll be fighting.” Aaron said, who was next to Chaskai.Cheyenne simply sat and listened as she looked out the window.“That’s not fair! Uncle Sky’s mate is learning to fight without even being Altered!”
Chapter 32As Cheyenne slept in the passenger seat of the car, Skylar replayed their day in his head while maintaining enough focus on the roads to get them home safely.He couldn’t help but smile at even the little things she said or did that showed her growth from when he first met her.She used to be this timid little thing that flinched at his every move, minus the time he shifted in front of her. Sure, she was stunned but she didn’t run for the hill like he thought she would.But from then, she seemed to open up, even if a little bit to him. He thought of their night of bliss just last night. The feel of her soft, melanated skin against his made him itch to touch her again.He focused on her and the steady rise of her chest with each intake of air and the steady heart beat keeping her blood evenly spread throug
Chapter 31Cheyenne stared at the photo, horrified.“What are you asking me?” Cheyenne asked, voice wavering a bit.“You seem uncomfortable, Ms. Rozen. I only want to know what happened to him.”“How the hell am I supposed to know? Last time I saw him, he was attacking me while I was trying to get some snacks!”Detective Otis tilted his head.“Yes. I remember seeing that in the security camera. What I want to know is who the woman was that assaulted this man. I know you know her. She carried you into her car and drove off.”“You’re worried about why she stood up for me instead of why this man attacked me in the first place?”Detective Otis rubbed his chin and sighed.
