#Chapter106'Ethan took a deep gulp of his beer and looked at me once again.'******Adam suggested that I unpack my stuff until Emily get back from college and I obliged. I mean, it was getting really hard to maintain conversation. What do you even talk about to your sister's boyfriend who you're only meeting for the first time?Yeah, nothing.I had no idea how a couple of college going students could afford a two bedroom apartment on their own but I wasn't about to start complaining. Their extra bedroom was going to be my room, for the time being.Unpacking felt unreal. Placing my clothes into a foreign cabinet felt strange. How did my life turn into a point where I had had to live at my sister's place?Stopping my depressing thoughts midway, I concentrated on unpacking my stuff. I had no idea how long it took me to unpack but once I did, I plopped down in my bed and took a deep breath.I plugged my earphones and opened a random playlist in my phone and started
#Chapter107'I was floating and falling.'******In all the time I have spent knowing about werewolves, I amassed a lot of knowledge about mates too. A mate is a wolf's soul mate, his/her other half, without which they don't want to live.When a wolf finds their mate, all they can ever think about is their mate. They stop being attracted to anyone else and slowly, but surely fall in love with the person the moon goddess designated them to be with.There were still some who thought they could fight with the will of the goddess and they have affairs and cheat.It was clear to me that the mate bond affected a wolf and a human differently. Whatever I felt for Harper, he feels more than that. The tingles that danced on my skin whenever we touched were more prominent for Harper, than they were for me.However different my response to the mate bond as a human may be, shouldn't I follow this basic rule? Shouldn't I be not attracted to any other male beside my mate? I shouldn
#Chapter108'"Yeah, people. I miss my people."'******It's been two weeks since I had the dream with the moon goddess and I have never been angrier. I deserved to be angry, didn't I? Who the hell was she to condemn me to this suffering? Why the hell did she mate me with Harper when she knew we would have all these problems? Hell, why did she mate me with a werewolf in the first place? I was a human and would have been content in being with a human.I tried not to think about her, I really did but she just keeps popping into my head, bringing back all the memories I wanted to forget.It had also been two weeks since I came here and I was settling in pretty well. Even though I was miserable, I was pretty proud of myself for adjusting that quickly and efficiently.I had joined the new school the night after that dreadful dream and honestly, it wasn't bad. The building was pretty much like any other public school building and was a twenty minute drive from Emily's apartmen
#Chapter109'HIS FRUSTRATION'******I have had enough. My wolf and I have had enough. We were beyond frustrated and feeling as helpless as we could ever be. It was as I was being attacked by all directions and I didn't know which thug to boot first.One, my mate had been gone god knows where for over two weeks. Two whole weeks. I had no contact with her what so ever. It felt as if she had disappeared from the face of this planet. I had not set my eyes on her in so long that sometimes my wolf whined in my head at out loss and I wondered if what I and Zara had was actually real. Were we actually ever in a good place where we were not fighting? Even if we were, seeing her face, touching her, being with her felt right. It made everything alright. We had been together for roughly two months and I had fallen for her hard and fast. Could anyone blame me, though? She's the most amazing person, the most pretty girl and the world's best seductress. She was mine and I lost her.I ge
#Chapter110I ran a frustrated hand through my hair and banged my had on the table as hard as I could. I had no idea if I wanted to hurt myself or if I wanted to see the woodwork break, but I couldn't deny the satisfaction I felt when I heard the wood crack beneath my palm.I got up and lifted the table and with a flick of my wrists and upended the table with a crash. The voice resonated in the small room. I took a deep breath and felt my shoulders relax. I felt the tensions in my muscles loosen. Hell, it felt good. Definitely an amazing way to get rid of stress.But I was done. Far from it.I kicked the trashed table away from my way and stormed out of my office, with one destination in my mind. It was time I gave my father a visit.My alpha had ordered me to not see him until I had figured out the mystery behind Elijah's murder. At the rate the investigation was going on, I would never see my father. I had a hunch my father was ignoring me and even wondered at one poin
#Chapter111'HIS SUSPICION'******I kept my eyes on the phone that continued ringing, Zara's name flashing on the bright screen. The room was silent save for the ringing and vibration of the phone. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the phone. My father had just advised me to give my mate some space and right now seemed like everything was a test. My wolf was going crazy in my head. He couldn't believe the fact that I would just have to swipe the screen and I would be able to hear my mate's voice, which I hadn't heard in almost two weeks. I clenched my fists to stop myself from grabbing the phone and talking to my mate.But I did to budge. If this was my redemption, then I would go through it. My eyes stayed on the phone as it kept ringing, my father standing in front of him, checking me.My gaze finally moved to my father when the phone finally stopped ringing. His green eyes were assessing me with a blank look and then it finally struck me.I gaped at my father i
#Chapter112'HIS QUESTION'******Pain.That was the only thing I could feel. I didn't know how many times I groaned and I didn't remember how I ended up like this.I muttered a curse in my head at my fucked up life as I felt my wolf nudge me into consciousness. I was groggy and my vision was blurred for a minute before my brain could focus where I was.My wolf didn't detect any danger nearby which prevented me from not panicking. Although, with the amount of pain I was in, I doubted I would be a threat to any "danger".I looked where I was as soon as my brain could comprehend everything. The curtains were closed and I internally thanked the person who didn't want me blinded when I wake up.I was hooked to a couple of machines which were definitely keeping a good job of keeping me alive. I could tell I was in the hospital but I had no idea what I was doing there or more importantly, how I got here.Isn't there supposed to be a button here somewhere I could pres
#Chapter113Fat tears rolled down my mother's cheeks and I couldn't help but chuckle. I knew she was goin to blame her concern for me on her pregnancy hormones."Damn these pregnancy hormones. I can't do anything without crying nowadays." She wiped her cheeks and smiled at me with her motherly smile which brought back a truckload of memories. I slowly took her in, her five month pregnancy belly and her glowing skin. "You look good." She flushed and laughed at my compliment. "You're not getting out of trouble this time, Harper.""But I'm so injured." I pouted. "Don't you know, some rogues attacked me? I'm such a poor baby."She laughed at my antics which made me smile more. Damn, I missed her laughter. She definitely needed to laugh more."What's Natalie doing here?" My question sobered her up."She was worried about you, of course. Why would anyone be in a hospital? Aiden and Samantha wanted to see you too but with you being here, the workload has been on Aiden.
