(CARA'S POV)I watch Sophie, walk out of my room. I should have gone after her, but I was still in shock.What did she mean about 'being one of them?"I remember the first day I arrived here; everything seemed so new—the truth about wolves existing—I felt alone, but I never once thought Sophie felt that way too; maybe I had been so busy thinking about my affairs that I had forgotten about her on the line.Still, Sophie had never sounded that cold towards me. Her words pierced into my heart, sharper than a dagger, cold as ice. I shouldn't have told her about the fact I could no longer have a child; I should have kept it to myself, but I just needed to tell her how badly some people needed that sort of miracle. Maybe I was jealous of her. The fact that she could throw away something so precious—it was her life, yes, but it was just so wrong.I didn't notice the tears falling down my eyes till Rollins walked in."Are you crying?" he asked, and I quickly wipped off the tears."No, sorry."
(CARA'S POV)"Cara!," I heard Rollins call as he got closer. I managed to stand to my feet, but it took a moment for me to realize I was still in the woods."Rollins, down here," I called back, and he was by my side in the next moment.He stared at me, and for the first time, I saw a glimmer of fear in his eyes."You scared me, Cara. I felt your emotions through the mate bond, like you were in danger. What happened?" he asked, his hands trailing over the bruises on my face from the thorns, which were already healing up"There was something in the woods; just now it was here. The other night, I thought I saw something; I was almost sure of it; I ignored it, but I saw it again today."Rollins was silent. When I stared into his eyes, I saw it; he didn't believe me."Whatever it is, it must be gone now; I don't even hear a heartbeat.""You don't understand; I didn't either, but I saw it; it was here.""How does it look?" He asked, even though it was clear on his face that he didn't believ
(Author's Note) Hi guyyys, so I wanted to share some quick info about Book 2 of My Human Mate (You Are Mine, Alpha). In Book 2, we have two female leads, Cara and Sophie. I believe Laurent and Sophie need a story, and Cara's story is far from over so why not merge it all into one? I hope you all enjoyed this book so far. I would like to hear your thoughts. Please drop your comments and reviews. Thank you for the votes; they encourage me as a writer to go on. A big thank you to my 'top fans' and everyone who spent their hard-earned money to read this book and kept on following it up. Unfortunately, there will be no updates for today; updates will continue tomorrow, and this is due to health issues. I apologize, but it is necessary that I take a day off. And also, my update schedule for 'the next few weeks' is one chapter a day. I know this is not enough, but I need time to reboot, and it will be back to the normal 2–5 chapters a day soon.Have a great day. Much Love.Giftemmy.
(SOPHIE'S POV)I deserved what I got. I knew she would be mad at me for what I had said earlier. It was not her fault; she looked scared. I only wished she could tell me about it. She had so much going on; maybe it was wiser if I kept my own problems to myself.I spotted Laurent a distance away. My heart skipped a beat. I knew I would have to talk to him. For some reason, I was scared of him and of what he would think, but he was the only one left, the only one who could help me.He was having a silent conversation with one of the pack soldiers, Stefan. They were always together; maybe they were close friends.I walked closer to them, and he noticed me right before I caught up. Stefan got the info and walked away."Hi," I said to him. I wasn't the kind of girl who got nervous around guys, but it all changed when Laurent was close."What do you want?" he asked, his tone harsh."You've been avoiding me lately.""I've only been giving you the space you wanted; you didn't seem to like me
(ROLLIN'S POV)I didn't want to leave her there, all alone; she seemed frightened. I still waited; if she wanted me, she would come find me right in my office, but she didn't.She looked so scared; I wanted to believe her so badly, but there was nothing out there. We checked again and again, but there was nothing. Cara had been going through a rough time; she needed time.I remembered her words: "Sometimes I feel like all these things happening to me are all my fault; I'm fighting against fate itself to be alive, and that's why everything seems to be going so wrong," she said once. She never repeated those words again, but I knew deep down, she still believed it was all her fault, that in some bizzare way, coming back to life had shifted a switch in the 'system' and that's why things were going wrong. I didn't believe that; I believed it was a miracle. I could never forget those few hours without her; they were the longest hours of my life. I've missed her, holding her, waking her up i
(CARA'S POV) It was a dream. I could feel it.I was in the woods, right where I had seen the strange figure, but this time I was all alone."Rollins!" I called into the darkness, but there was no response. "Rollins!!" I called louder, and still nothing.Then I heard the movement; someone or something was coming. The figure came into view—the pale white skin, too white to belong to a human—and those red eyes were way too real."We would take him away from you, Luna, and it would all be your fault.""You can't harm him," I say, trying to sound bold. At this point, I didn't feel as brave anymore."Oh, we can, and we would.""What are you?" I asked, staring into the darkness. The figure was surreal.It ignored my question. "We would have let him be; if it weren't for you, it is all your fault for coming back to life; you were supposed to be dead; now the pack would no longer have an Alpha."The figure transformed into Emmaline; she had that her singature smirk on her face. I hated her, ev
(CARA'S POV)I couldn't lose faith in Rollins; every single day I visited him, nothing changed. He was still in coma, it had been two weeks now, and I got miserable with each passing day. To see him right there but yet unmoving, so vulnerable, I hated it.'He would come back to me'- I always remind myself, but with each passing day, I can't help but lose hope. What if he never does? It's finally sinking in bit by bit. Would he ever return to me?There were no leads; the mysterious creature had disappeared—that's what everyone thought, but not me. They were here, and I was sure of it.With Rollins in a coma, the work load fell on Lucian, Laurent and of course me, now more than ever I missed being immortal, even if I never actually grew accustomised to those strange powers till I lost them, I needed them now.Again, I was heading to the healing room. Rollins laid there; he looked so peaceful, i could almost deceive myself to believing he was only asleep."Hi," I whispered to him, even i
(CARA'S POV) "They are vampires," I said to Lucian. Laurent sat beside Beta Lucian; they both looked lost. They still didn't believe me. I had called the both of them for a meeting in Rollins' office; it sure was weird sitting down here, right where Rollins usually sat, but I felt comfortable here, his scent was always a pleasant reminder. "How do you know you are right?" Lucian asked "Okay, it might come as a surprise to you to know they exist, but I met them when I visited the woods." Lucian looked tense; he didn't want me anywhere close to the things that place Rollins in the position he is now. "You told me you were alright, but I should have known; you seemed a little worked out when you returned." "Yes, that's because I met two of them. I think they were the weak ones; I killed them, but there was something strange I noticed about them. They were very fast, and they could manage to move so soundlessly that you would never know they were right behind you. That was the on
(Epilouge, Part One)(ROLLIN'S POV) I walked into my room to see Gwen there. I didn't know how to tell her. Cara had decided that she would stay in one of the guests rooms till it was all over, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to stay here knowing that Cara was just a few rooms away and I had never been the one to get sneaky. Gwen had to know."We need to talk," I said to Gwen. She looked tiny now, too thin, but I still thought she was beautiful."It's about her, right?" she asked."I don't want you to stress yourself.""Let me guess, she is back at the pack, you both are back together, and you guys are waiting for me to die so you could go on with your relationships, right?" She asked, and I was silent. I had never felt this kind of guilt, but she surprised me when she smiled."I knew this was going to happen, but you see, I don't even care about the fact that all that went on between the both of us isn't real; I don't care about any of that. I am happy; you made me happy, and you
Three days after the war.I wished I could follow Rollins back to our pack; I wished... but I knew that things would never be the same, and so here I was, with Teo. I couldn't deny that I wanted to be with Rollins; every fiber of my being wanted him, but I couldn't have him.Teo walked down the stairs, fully dressed."Are we going somewhere?" I asked"No, not we, me."I shrugged. "Okay, when would you be back? ", He stared at me, giving me that long look. "Are you leaving me?" I asked, and I couldn't hold back the sob."Is not... is not in that way.""I don't understand.""We were never a thing; as much as I wanted it and still do, I know you love someone else, and I've learned some good lessons, we don't always get what we want , I would always love you, but not in that way, not anymore. You love Rollins; you would never settle for less. I want you to go get him.""What if he doesn't want me?""You both were meant for each other; I don't know what the outcome will be, but what I can
(Cara's POV)Teo led me towards the exit; he held the most of my weight, and I limped trying to go faster."Wait!""No, we have to go," he said, tugging me on, but I had stopped moving. I thought I saw something. "That window," I said, pointing to the window we just passed."No, Cara, not now.""Take me back," I said.Teo made an annoyed sound before taking me back. I looked through the window; I knew what I had seen. The 'human' girls ran out of the gate, but there were two vampires running after them. Those two vampires alone would be able to finish them off; how did they escape?"Sophie," I gasped."I'm sorry, Cara, we can't save them.""Yes, we can't, but you can.""Cara, I was given an order; I have failed him enough; please, we need to go.""Face the truth, Teo, I won't be allowed out of here, but they... they are so close to freedom, please. I have done so many wrongs; I want to do this one right thing, please.""Wait here, don't move one bit; you hear me, don't fucking move."
(ROLLINS POV)"I want to give you a more honorable death. I'll let you kill yourself," he said, throwing the gun at me. "One shot to the brain, that would do," he said, his face still having that smirk I hated."And what do you know about honor?" I asked, staring at the gun, that wouldn't kill him, I knew it."Nothing. That would have been a better death... but now," his eyes glittered. "Welcome to hell," and then there was darkness. I could not see a single thing, and then Cara came into view, it was like a clip was being replayed before my eyes, a clip from my mind. She walked into Teo's room and let her robe fall to the ground.Teo waited on the bed, watching her, his eyes watching every part of her. I couldn't run from this; it was like I had been trapped by some invisible force in a very dark room.And then I saw Teo again, forcing himself on her. I watched her sob.I inhaled. "Get out of my head," I growled."Not yet," Vlad whispered, and then I was in my pack. The Shadow Pack
(Laurent's POV)I couldn't look her in the eyes; she didn't know that I had come searching for her. When Teo told me she was here too, I knew that I had to find her, but I couldn't even look at her. I couldn't let her deceive me this one more time.Maybe we were never meant to be. The thought alone caused a strange kind of anger to rise in me, and I finished off the vampire. I exited her room, her scent in there was too strong. Finally, I could focus; I knew my next target. Ken.I ran through the hallways, checking through room, to find him. Nothing."I guess I am the one you have been looking for." Slowly, I turned back to see Ken, and a smirk spread on my face."I've always wanted to pass a stake into your heart.""Why? Because I have every right to fuck your mate, or perhaps because she would always be left with a part of me any fucking place she goes.""Maybe you are right, but guess what?" I asked, not even waiting for his answer, "We both won't be getting her.""Not if I kill
(SOPHIE'S POV)Ken left to help his master. Vlad. There had been an attack; I heard the shouts; I didn't know what exactly was happening, and maybe I didn't want to know anymore.I had made so many bad decisions in my life; I know I deserved this. I had never been a good girl, unlike Cara. I played with the feelings of others and was only loyal to Cara as a friend.My thoughts were cut short when the door to my room busted open and a vampire walked in. I knew him; he had always watched me with an expression on his face. I could only place it as hunger... and lust; he wanted my blood; he wanted to feed; and he wouldn't care if I died in the process. Ken was nowhere to be found; maybe he was dead. I was shocked that the thought of Ken dead didn't make me feel anything at all.The vampire licked his whitish lips as he moved closer, his dark red eyes regarding me, maybe deciding where to sink his teeth, and then they settled on my baby bump."No!, stay away from me!" I cried out. I hadn'
(ROLLINS POV)I knew I was in the right location when I got to the castle-like building; it had this dark loom over it; this had to be the place.Teo walked forward; he knew the directions. All through the journey here, I had given the two brothers some distance, as I knew they had a lot of catching up to do."That is the main gate; there are vampires guarding the gates—the strong ones; there is no way we can go in without being detected.""Then we would have to kill them as fast as we can," I said to him, and we walked towards the gates. Of course, the vampires noticed that we were not a part of them quicker than I anticipated. We had to act fast; there were about five of them at the entry. Teo ran forward; his speed alone told me he was stronger now, different. He faced two, engaging in hand-to-hand combat. I threw a wooden stake I had carved to him, and he slammed into the eyes of one. The remaining three came at me, all ready. I tried holding them all back at once till Laurent j
(Cara's POV)Shade walked into my room. I knew why he was here; it was time for my doze of wolf's bane. The past few days, I have begun to feel less pain anytime the liquid was injected into my veins, but I didn't know how much longer I would last.I didn't know where Rollins was now or what he would be doing. Had Teo found somewhere to start a new life? That would be better for him."It's so funny how this little liquid causes your kind so much pain," Shade said with a smirk as he drew closer. "I love seeing you in pain, and guess what? Vlad had been busy recently..." he trailed off, his hands on my throat. "And right now... he isn't watching you; he has finally seen you for what you are—a slut. He has that already; he doesn't need you, but I want to know... I've always wanted to know what he enjoyed when he was with you and what he saw so differently.His hands went down to my breast, and he pressed hard on it, his eyes brightening up. "Does this turn you on?""Get your hands off me
(ROLLIN'S POV)I couldn't bear it, that she was there with HIM. Teo assured me that he wouldn't harm her; Vlad wanted her alive... for other purposes, and that made me furious at the fact that he had touched her, but I guessed she knew when she was going to work for him.She was only helping. I tried to tell myself, after all she had said it, that I could be with anyone I wanted to be with, and I shouldn't be mad at her for fucking the vampire prince to get what she wanted. I couldn't help but wonder if she was hurt; if the bastard hurt her, I was going to kill him. But then again, vampires were already dead.Teo had managed to bring Laurent back from the woods. It was a wonder to me how he had yet again changed; little by little, he was becoming the Laurent I knew, but if you looked deeper into his eyes, you would see the little emptiness. Still, it was better; he was back now.Teo, Laurent, and Lucian sat in my office as we discussed tactics. Though deep down we knew the odds were a
