Mates of the Broken Hearted Beast
Chapter 8 - Beast Thomas"You like the smell of their fear, don't you? You like the way their eyes widen with terror, and all hope fades from their eyes as you move in to make the kill." Leon's hot breath brushed against my ear as he whispered into it. The smell of tuna and onion made bile crawl up my throat. I forced myself to swallow it down, unwilling to give him any satisfaction as he doled out his punishment for the day. The pain in my back replaced the pain in my shoulders. The bastard used a silver-tipped whip today, giving lashings until the skin split, making sure to hit me enough times so they would turn into scars before I could heal them properly. "You're a monster, a fucking disgrace to all living things. You kill everything you touch and destroy everything within your grasp. You should be dead, just like your disgraceful pack of mutts we slaughtered." He continued. I bit my tongue so hard I could taste blood, trying so hard to ignore him, but the smell of smoke filled
Mates of the Broken Hearted WTF
Chapter 9 - WTFPaige Of course, Thomas is here. The asshole never leaves the packhouse, but the one night I decide to come out to let loose and find a male I can lose myself in for the night, he's here. I felt him the second I walked into the bar. I always felt him whenever he was around, like an annoying itch that was impossible to get rid of, no matter how many times you scratched it. He was always there lurking, and even though I promised Zane I would try to be nicer to Irene and Thomas, that was three nights ago and, well, tonight, after the glare he gave me when our eyes met the second I got in here. I suddenly wasn't feeling too friendly. "Want another drink, Babe?" Ethan murmured against my ear, his wet lips brushing against it as he spoke. I knew what I needed to know about Ethan. Other than the fact that he was built like a tree, had the brightest green eyes a girl could easily find herself getting lost in, and the most important part, besides being a piece of delicious
Mates of the Broken Hearted Complication
Chapter 10 - ComplicationPaige"I'm still upset with you, but I can't go another day without hanging out, so here I am." Colette paused, her nose wrinkling as she looked from me to my messy bed. "Did you have a male in here last night? Goddess above, I could have totally walked in on you having sex." Colette gasped.This is what woke me up at the ass crack of dawn on a Saturday morning. Colette barged into my room a few days after the whole dinner disaster, going off on an entire rant. Not that I got much sleep anyway. My mind still reeled with whatever happened with Thomas. I still think it was some kind of form of delirium because if Thomas had actually trapped me against my bedroom door and told me how he wanted to fuck me, then I don't think I could ever look at my best friend ever again. "...Zane never would have let them live. I will knock next time, promise. So how is life? What are you doing today? Anything exciting because I was...you okay?" Collette's question pulled me
Mates of the Broken Hearted Dilemma
Chapter 11 - DilemmaThomasI had come to my sister and her mate's office the second I heard Balor was here. I originally just wanted to get a minute alone with the male to talk about making a new deal to pay him back for the ring he made for me.What I wasn't expecting to hear was the fact that Colette, Zane, and Paige bound themselves to some fucking magic school to get me a ring that would help seal my wolf for only a short period. I wasn't thinking when I flung the office door open. Rage was the only thing coursing through my veins and mind at the time.It was so typical of fae to be deceitful, only doing what could benefit them. I thought because Balor was part wolf, it might outweigh the fae blood coursing through veins. But that was a stupid notion, but that wasn't the only thing that had me so angry. I was pissed that not only did my sister, her Beta, and Mate tie themselves to magic for me. They didn't have the fucking decency to tell me about it. Like they couldn't trust m
Mates of the Broken Hearted Annoyance
Chapter 12 - Annoyance Paige "I can't believe this shit." I hissed, throwing another punch at the punching bag. Sweat had my shirt sticking to me like a second skin. I don't know how much time had passed, but since our unpleasant meeting with Balor and the giant bomb he dropped. I had spent my time in here beating the shit out of this punching bag. If it were a person, they'd be on the floor, nothing but an unconscious, bloodied body. Anger still burned in my veins as I took another swing and then another. My knuckles now split from the continuous brutality despite wrapping them. "Stupid. Fucking. Fae. Stupid. Alpha assholes." I panted with each hit. I didn't have to look up to know that Zane was watching me, waiting for me to acknowledge or challenge him. If he was anyone else I would have, but he was the last person I wanted to see right now. Well, maybe second to last, Thomas would always hold first place. Zane had been standing in the gym entrance for the last fifteen m
Mates of the Broken Hearted Despiration
Chapter 13 - DespirationThomas Twenty-four hours was what Balor had given as a timeline for one person to decide their fate. Twenty-four hours to decide whether they pick between destroying one's life now or three months from now.It was a fucking joke and one I didn't even bother thinking about. The second I got to my room I packed a bag and left. I needed to leave and find a space big enough for me to think and calm the fuck down before Eris broke through whatever shitty magic Balor had used to tie not only me and my wolf to a life of servitude, but also my sister, her mate, and her best friend. It had been three days and the thought of their betrayal had me seeing red all over again. I understood where she was coming from, I would have done the same thing given my life to protect hers. Fuck. I had done that fifteen years ago when I fought tooth and nail against the hunter's attack to make sure no one found her in those trees. Because she was too little to defend herself agains
Mates of the Broken Hearted Coward
Chapter 14 - CowardPaige "We need to talk."Really?I couldn't think of something else to say after spending my entire day hunting the asshole down. Goddess above I was pathetic. I took a deep breath forcing myself to calm down. I was here for my best friend. The fact that I walked into the bar just to find Thomas flirting with some human sleazeball had only enraged me because while he was here getting his dick wet his sister was at home withering away with worry. 'Right, keep telling yourself that.' Odessa scoffed rolling her eyes. She really needed to fuck off."How did you find me?" Thomas's voice had my heart racing in my chest and my hair standing on end. The deep vibration of his voice always caught me off guard no matter how in the moment I was. I whirled around, a single brow arched and my lips pursed, trying my best to seem unphased by his presence. I could have sworn the bastard's lip twitched beneath that percent scowl he always wore. "You did a shit job at covering y
Mates of the Broken Hearted Fairytale
Chapter 15 - FairytaleThomasIt was like being thrown into a dream, one minute we were surrounded by loud music, cigarette smoke, stale beer, and ignorant humans. The next we were surrounded by whimsical forests, bright flowers, brighter skies, and magic.I had felt magic before and had been held in a half-beast human state for years because of it. I would never forget how it felt against my skin, the feeling sending a shiver down my spine and filling my stomach with unease. The sounds of birds singing filled the air. The magic in the air felt like static electricity making my hair stand on end. Its presence brushed up against me as if getting a feel for who I was, deciding whether I was friend or foe. Never in my life would I have thought a place like this could have existed, that there was a veil between our worlds that kept such existences a secret from the human world. Not until I was captured by hunters and shown just how naive we truly were. I swallowed the lump in my throat

Mates of the Broken Hearted Cruel Fates
Chapter 19 - Cruel FatesThomasDespite the heavy training Silas had put me through, my body felt lighter. It seemed after whatever healing Nesrin had done to me. I was starting to feel whole again. But I knew I couldn't get used to it; it was temporary, just like all of this was temporary. It still blew my mind that a day had almost passed and that I was one day closer to unleashing the beast within. There weren't enough words to describe how I felt about it, though angry and fearful were at the top of that list. But I didn't want to think of that now, not when I was supposed to discover what Gardenia had to offer us. It was more of an order than a suggestion after our training. Silas, like me, had noticed how tense Paige was at training and insisted we go out and explore a bit before the real work began. I also didn't miss how she glared at the females who had decided to come and watch the new meat being trained. She would never admit it, but how she acted made me think that she
Mates of the Broken Hearted New Deal
Chapter 18 - New dealsPaigeI'd met Nesrin once before, during the meeting with all of her siblings after we had all made our deal with Balor to protect Thomas. But still seeing her again didn't lessen the blow of how much she had really been through. Something about her was unsettling, in the same way as Thomas. Like they were both someone connected by whatever horrible fates they endured in their pasts. I hadn't said a single thing to her since this morning, too focused on what she was doing to Thomas, making sure that while he was passed out on one of her medical beds, she wasn't doing anything that could cause more damage than there already was. 'Right, because we can see what her magic is doing.' Odessa huffed, her unease matching my own. She wasn't wrong. There wasn't anything I could really do if she decided to end Thomas's life right here and now, but Balor told us we were safe here and despite how shady the bastard was, he was good for keeping his word. 'At least we're he
Mates of the Broken Hearted The Inevitable
Chapter 17 - The InevitableThomas The sound of chains dragging along the gravel floor made my skin crawl and my heart pound against my ribcage. Was it possible to die from fear? I had never heard of someone dying from fear, but then again, I never got to learn any of that before I was captured. If it was possible to die from fear, I was sure I was going to. If it wasn't for Leon and the constant torture, it was the silence and darkness that got to me. I couldn't think of anyone, not my sister, parents, or pack. Did that make me a horrible person? "Shift," Leon commanded, his voice nasally and the smell of his breath was so pungent I wanted to throw up. I gritted my teeth against the command, not understanding how he could get me to do it. He wasn't a wolf, just a sadistic human turned hunter. I tried to fight it, tried to ignore the way my wolf so eagerly wanted to come out and take control. How eagerly my wolf wanted to listen to his command like he was my Alpha, my leader."I
Mates of the Broken Hearted Treading Water
Chapter 16 - Treading WaterPaige "My grandson gave the basics but I would like to hear from you why you're here, Thomas." Silas wasted no time getting down to business, like his grandson I got the feeling he didn't take kindly to slackers or being given the runaround."I'm here because your grandson promised to help take care of my wolf after making a deal with my sister. But he failed to hold his end of the deal and is using this as a poor attempt to make up for it." Thomas growled. I pretended not to notice his obvious tension and busied myself with taking in our surroundings instead of witnessing the shitshow that was most likely about to take place since Thomas insisted on insulting Balor in front of his grandfather.The walls were lined with books and just like the entranceway, pictures filled his walls. But it was the picture on his desk that grabbed my attention the most. It was a younger version of Silas smiling with a heavily pregnant female. She was Fae by the looks of he
