Chapter 26After their heated shower, they went back to their rooms and dressed in sweats.Skylar watched as Cheyenne pulled the gray sweats over her curvy body, up to her waist and pulled a sports bra over her breasts.Skylar decided to just stick with sweat pants.Cheyenne kept her back to him as she pulled her luscious, locked hair into a pony tail at the top of her head.Skylar has wanted to mate her over an over again in the shower but he refrained, not wanting to scare Cheyenne back into her shell.He was loving that she was moving so freely and speaking her mind and allowing him to touch her. Soon she’d let him truly finish their bond. Skylar was looking forward to it.“You’re staring.” Cheyenne said, glancing at him in the mirror.
Chapter 27Cheyenne didn’t feel anything but love and safety in Skylar’s arms. The close proximity nearly had her pushing away but she knew there was no need.After last night, Skylar making love to her, something seemed to change in her. She didn’t feel all the terrible feelings like she had before.The way he caresses her with such care as if the scars on her body were a part of her, not violently inflicted made her feel like she was more than just some helpless victim. He had breathed her in and kissed her like she was the one and only woman for him.The warmth emitting from Skylar’s body calmed her. The strength behind his snug hold made her feel small and protected. She never thought she’d know l
Chapter 28Skylar bubbled inside hearing the proclamation of her words in front of him.He didn’t know how she was going to react to Taylor jumping on her. He honestly thought she’d chuck her across the room and have a panic attack. Something so sudden like what Taylor just did would normally send Cheyenne completely backwards.Yet, here she was kneeling in front of the small child, telling her she decided to stay with him.She was staying.“Breakfast is ready, guys. At the table.” Nadia called over her shoulder.What really took Skylar by surprise was when Cheyenne gently, yet firmly gripped Taylor by her underarms and hoisted her up against her.Taylor giggled and held on to her.Skylar was beyond shocked but also pl
Chapter 29Cheyenne scrubbed at the plates with hot water and brightly colored dish soap. After getting most of the food off, she chucked them into the dishwasher.Neither Skylar or Chaskai had come back yet so she decided to go ahead and just clean the whole darn kitchen.After putting the left over breakfast foods into reusable boxes and placing them in the fridge, she began to wipe down each table and counter top.Once she finished wiping the table and counter tops off, she continued to keep herself busy by sweeping the floor.It took her a while to actually find the damn broom, which was hanging on the door of the basement, right next to the dust pan.She swept the corners of the kitchen and under the table, pulling all the crumbs from their crevices and swept them into the dust pan, discarding
Chapter 30As Skylar drove back on to the main roads, Cheyenne was ranting in the passenger seat.“. . .Why wouldn’t you let me say goodbye? Why’d you give her the impression we were coming back? I thought Chaskai said that I couldn’t see her anymore. Skylar, answer me.”“I couldn’t let you.” Skylar said, simply.“Why not? I thought it was for the best, Sky!”“It is!” Skylar snapped.Sighing and recollecting his thoughts, he explained.“It was better if you left all the connections to this life behind, yes. But I couldn’t let you do it.”Cheyenne waited for him to continue.“I saw the way you looked at each other when w
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.
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 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!”
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
