Mated to the Alpha CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
From the moment I saw Bria, I knew I'd have to break off with Emily. I didn't want to admit to it then, but I think I always knew Bria was my soulmate. And now, I can no longer deny it.After spending the day with Bria, I know it's time to break things off with Emily. It is too difficult trying to have them at war in my mind. I can't control this strong pull. It's unlike anything else I've ever known before, and I know if I give up Bria, I will regret it.Still, this is all stressful, even though I know what I want to do. So, I decide to go out for a run. I may not be a werewolf but running is in my blood. It helps calm all my thoughts and get my mind straight. I hope that if I run quick enough, I'll run into a way out of this dilemma with Emily and Bria.The pavement is harsh beneath my feet, but that's what I need to feel grounded again. I allow my senses to reach out to the trees, the plants, the wind as it rushes past my face. I feel in tune with nature. I feel like how I feel

Jim feels the same way I do, I can feel it. It's in the slight touches we share. It's in the things we say to each other. Our feelings for each other are so bright, so strong, that's impossible to ignore them. We have to give in to our urges.That is, we have to give in to our urges if people stop getting in the way of us exploring that connection.“I'm just saying, stay away from my man,” Emily says.I look at her completely baffled. Why would she invite me to this diner just to level threats at me? Well, she has another thing coming because I'm not one to back down from threats. I’m not going to let her walk all over me.It's safer here anyway. It makes every threat sound absurd because what is she going to be able to do here? It's a busy afternoon, with folks bustling about everywhere. It’s nice. The diner is quite a ways away from Jim's mother shop, but I like it. It speaks to me. It's not high class. It's not trying to be something it's not. And I'm not trying to be somethin

JIM’S POVI'm completely heartbroken that Bria would do something like this to me. As I watch her leave, I want to tell her not to go. I want to tell her that I believe her. Part of me does believe her, but I can't.I can't believe her because I saw the proof for myself. I saw the paw prints. I saw the things in her room. If she didn't do it, then who did?I start to walk back from the park, feeling completely drained and overwhelmed. I don't know how to cope with this. When Bria came into my life it was like a spark that lit everything on fire and now it's burned out and empty. I just want her back. I just wish she hadn't betrayed my family like that.As I walk though, I start to think about what she said. Bria said that she was at some diner with Emily. That can't be true because Emily was with her sister. But what if it isn’t true? What if Emily really did lie to me to get Bria out of my life? It seems impossible. Emily has always been a good person. She's always been kind t

It all hits me once I'm in the woods. I don't have anywhere to go. I don't have anyone to be with. I'm a lost soul floating in the world, and Jim hates me. He truly hates me.I try to run away from it all, but I can't run far enough to get away from these horrible feelings. I can't fix what's happened between us. I can't make this right.So, instead of trying to make sense of this, I keep running. I shift into my werewolf form. I us the rocky ground beneath my feet to ground me. I soak in the energy from the trees, from the plants, from the sunshine against my fur. I revel in my wolf form. I don't know where I'm going, but I need to get away from here.I don't stop running until I reach a lake. The blue water calms me, undisturbed as the sun sparkles off of it. It’s knowing depths let me know things will work out somehow. It’s a place for me to pause, so I stand there and look out at the water, dipping my paws into it. Nature assures me everything will be okay, but I don't underst

Waiting to hear what Jim's answer might be feels like torture. I want to be with him so badly that the thought of him not wanting to be with me kills. Knowing he's not angry at me means I won't take my own life, but I won't know where to go. And I want this more than I want anything else.“Of course, I want to be with you,” Jim says. “I want to be with you more than I want anything else right now. And I want to prove that to you.”“Just you being here is good enough,” I say. “I’m just so glad you believe me. I'm so glad we don't have to be angry at each other anymore.”“I am too,” Jim agrees. He looks at me thoughtfully for a moment, like he has something important on his mind. Then, he looks around the forest.“Would you like to go somewhere with me?” he asks. “We haven't had time for a proper date. We haven't had time to really get to know each other.“Though this connection is strong, and though I know I want to be with you, I also want to get to know you. I want to get to

EMILY’S POVI am devastated and I truly don't know what to do. Jim has been stolen from me by a werewolf. And there doesn't seem to be much I can do about it. She's cast a spell on him and...As I'm crying in my room, a new idea comes to mind. Jim has been stolen by me from a werewolf. And it seems like she's cast a spell in him. So, maybe I need to do something different to face off against this enemy.Bria is supernatural. And I think that's probably the only reason why Jim is going with her instead of me. Jim and I have been together for so long, and nothing has come between us before. Nothing until her.And that's because she has supernatural powers. So of course, normal human tricks aren't going to work on her. Nothing is going to work to get rid of her unless I can match her power with something else. I need to find a supernatural solution. I need to go the extra mile to keep her away from my boyfriend.As I pace my room, I think about a supernatural solution I can use aga

When I wake up it feels like I'm still dreaming. Jim is mine, and he is my mate. I never thought I'd find someone so special. I feel so lucky, so happy.It isn't long before Jim comes up with breakfast.“I made it myself,” he says, as we settle down to eat it in my room. “I want to give you everything I can just show you that I love you. I want to do everything I can to make it up to you.”“You've already more than done that,” I say. “You've completely made it up to me. I know how much you care. You don't have to keep doing these kinds of things to prove it to me.”“I know,” Jim says. “But I want to. I want to keep doing these things for you forever. Because I love you. I want to show you that.”I don't know how I got so lucky, but I feel so lucky. I feel like nothing can ever harm me again. I feel like my world is complete.“And to really show you how committed I am, I'm going to tell everyone about us,” Jim continues. “We’re having a family get together tonight. It's kind of

JIM’S POVI'm shell shocked. There's no other way to describe it. I just don't know what's going on. It's the biggest shift in attitude I've ever seen. Bria told me she wanted to be with me. We were on the same page about being soulmates. And now...It's embarrassing honestly as my family stares at me looking for answers. I can't give them answers though. I don't know why Bria just rejected me in front of everyone. I don't understand what's going on. But I do know I can't just let her go like this.“I'm sorry,” I mumble to my family. “I’m not too sure what's going on, but I need to go find out.”They all look at me with sympathy in their eyes. To them, I'm just another rejected guy who took his chance on some girl I just met. And they probably expected it too. Here I am dating someone new, claiming she's my soulmate so quickly. It was already going to be a tough sell, but now they won't believe me at all.Should I believe me at all? I thought I was so sure of Bria and I. I thoug

I wanted something a little simple. Our love is so magical, so much already that I was fine with a small ceremony.Jim’s family was a little more insistent on something bigger though. Now that they’ve fully accepted us, they’ve whole heartedly embraced me in a way I never could’ve even imagined before. It’s everything I wanted in my in-laws.So, we’ve compromised in a way. I still get a wedding that is in nature, which was most important to me. I feel so grounded when I’m in nature. I feel so at peace. It’s where I’m meant to be.However, the location is beautiful and we’ve invited all of our friends and family. We’ve done everything we could to make it special.I look at myself in the mirror and I’m thrilled by what I see, which is a nice boost of confidence I haven’t been blessed with much in my life before. I feel beautiful in my white dress that’s a bit shorter than the traditional wedding dress, so I can walk across the forest floor easily.Silver and gold make the dress spar

I try not to let the fear control me as I stand in front of Jim. I know everyone here thinks I'm crazy. I know they'll all be looking down upon me. But their opinions don't matter. What matters is him. What matters is us and the intense connection we share. I can only hope that he'll see the truth. I'm not sure how to get Jim to see the truth, but I hope he'll at least hear me out. I hope he'll at least give me a chance.“In the past, I didn't believe you,” Jim says. “I didn't listen to your side of the story. I listened to Emily instead and accepted her truth as infallible.“I'm not about to do that again. I want to hear what you have to say, Brea. I'm not sure I believe you quite yet. But I want to hear what you have to say.”“This is my wedding day,” Emily says. “How dare you come tramping it on my wedding day. I won't allow it. I have a say too.”“You're right,” Jim says. “You don't have to listen to any of this on your wedding day. I'm going to listen though. Bria, I want

“You have to go to him,” Sylvia insists. But it's not that easy. Not after what I've done.“What if he rejects me?” I ask. “My heart will break. What if it's too late? What if he won't love me?”“His heart has already been broken,” she reminds me. “It's not fair to him not to give him a choice. It's not fair to either of you for you to be away from each other.“You have to take this risk, no matter how scary it is. You have to at least try.”I know she's right, but I'm terrified. Facing his rejection would be one of the most painful things that could happen to me. But I did already break his heart. So, I need to be willing to take on the pain that I gave him. It would be selfish to act otherwise.“I'll go to him,” I decide. “I’ll go to him and I hope it's not too late.”JIM’S POVIt's too late. Something about this feels wrong, but I can't change my mind now. It's too late to figure out anything. Because here I am, at the altar with Emily.It's difficult because my brai

“I think I can help you,” Sylvia says after I tell her about my dilemma. “It sounds like Jim's girlfriend really had it out for you.”“She did,” I admit. “She really hates me. But she doesn't have to worry about that now because I've given him up. I can't be with a human.”“What if you don't really feel that way though?” Sylvia asks. “What if you only feel that way because you took something that made you feel that way? What if Emily is the reason why you feel that way?”“What do you mean?” I ask. “I don't think there is anything that can make me change my mind about a human. I hate them.”“But you didn't always hate them,” Sylvia reminds me. “You thought that particular human was your mate. “And not all werewolves hate humans. That’s just what a lot of them think. But that's because of a potion that has been passed down through generation to generation.”“What do you mean?” I ask. “Humans and werewolves just don't get along. They're two different species.”“There are differenc

EMILY’S POVI spent so much money at that witch’s shop that it’s ridiculous. I kind of feel like she scammed me, but at the end of the day I got what I wanted so I can't complain.In fact, I got even more than I could have imagined. As I stand in front of the mirror, I realize that everything has worked out even better than I dared hoped it would. But a second potion helped a little bit with that.I couldn't ever force Jim to love me. I didn't have to though. He already loved me before, so it didn't take much for him to love me again. Though the potion I slipped into his drinks every now and then helped too. It helped make his mind a little fuzzy. He didn't forget about Bria completely, but it did dull some of his feelings for her. And in dulling some of his feelings for her, the feelings he had for me felt even stronger. Or at least I hope they did.It seemed to work anyway. He did come back. He wanted to get back together with me if only to get over Bria. And I was more than

As I run through the forest, I feel more like a wolf than ever. I feel like a lone wolf though. A wolf without a pack. A wolf without a purpose.I don't know where I'm going as I run. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what I think. So, I just continue to run. I just keep going and going.I continue on like this for a week or so. I just run through the woods, I hunt, and I don't think about anything. I give into my full wolf instincts. And I stay far away from the humans that I know will hurt me.I'm a lone wolf in every sense of the word. And I feel strong in this way. I feel like I'm in tune with who I am naturally. Yet I also feel like something is missing. I feel like I've left something behind in the human world, and I'm not too sure what that is.So, I keep running. I keep going until I don't know where I'm going anymore. Then, I finally stop. I think about what I want and I have no idea.Then, I realize what I want is a home when I see that cottage in the forest. It
