“What was that?”
I slammed the laptop shut and discretely wiped the tears from my eyes. I faced him with a calm demeanor and softly smiled. “Oh, I just finished. Thank you for letting me use your laptop.”
He went closer to me. “No problem… " He paused for a while when he saw my face. "Are you okay?”
I smiled, although it was forced. “Yeah, I’m okay,” I said, reassuring him.
He held onto my face and observed my eyes. I tried to get away from him, but he only tightened his grip. His fingers trailed down my tear-stained cheeks, and his eyes held concern. “Tell me what’s wrong. I’m sensing that you’re not okay.”
I don’t know if it was his concerned eyes or his comforting voice, but I felt tears flowing out of my eyes. I closed my eyes and tried to wipe my tears away, but he beat me to it.
“Fuck. Why am I crying?” I choked out.

HeraI really shouldn’t have said that. I was afraid that my happiness would come with a price, but I wasn’t expecting that it’d be this soon.We were only a few minutes away from our borders when a group of wolves started chasing us. Arlo initially wanted to fight them off, but they outnumbered us by a lot.“Shit. How many are there?” He asked with his hands on the wheel.I counted the wolves and cursed under my breath. “There’s eleven of them.”“Fuck,” he said, driving faster than before.“We need to trail them off,” I said.“Got it.” He shifted the gear then stepped on the gas harder. He turned the steering wheel completely to the right, causing us to drift into the forest. I turned around to see the group of wolves stumble and trip against one another.“This is our chance! Let’s leave the car and shift into our wolves,” I s
My Rival, My Mate Chapter 47: The Faking
EllaI woke up with the sound of rustling clothes and light footsteps. I was expecting my body to ache, but it didn’t hurt as much as I imagined. Maybe it’s because Dalton took care of me very well during our intimate moment a while ago.I glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was already 10 PM in the evening. I glanced at Dalton, who was talking on the phone while putting on some clothes. He had a frown on his face, so I abruptly propped myself up with my elbows and looked at him curiously.“Where are you going?” I asked in a groggy voice.“Hera and Arlo are in trouble. I have to go fetch them,” he said quickly.“What?” My eyes widened in shock. “Where are they? Are they fine?”“Fortunately, they’re okay. I just don’t know where to find them. The call got cut off before they could tell me where they were. Do you want to join the search party?” He a

EllaI stayed in bed up until I didn’t hear any commotion from outside anymore. I didn’t think that I would be betraying them so early on. I quickly got up and changed into my clothes. I peeked outside the door to make sure that the coast was indeed clear. I walked with light steps towards their main office, glancing around from time to time.After much effort, I finally reached the office, only to find out that it was locked. Of course, I expected this, that's why I brought out the stolen key from my pocket.I turned the doorknob and was met with a clean office. I walked inside, suddenly feeling guilty for what I was about to do. I sat in front of the computer and cracked my knuckles. It was password-protected, and I had to think quickly if I wanted to get my objective done before somebody walked in. From what I know, this is Alpha Arlo’s current computer, so the password must be related to him.I wandered my eyes around, trying t
My Rival, My Mate Chapter 49: The Truth
DaltonI slowly opened the door…I frowned and looked around. She’s not here. There are traces of her scent in here, though, mixed with the pungent scent of rogues. The room was a mess, with the papers scattered on the floor and broken glass from the window. I walked over to the rugged computer and tried to turn it on. However, I found out that it was locked. So, she really did try to extract our files, huh? I scoffed. But deep inside my heart, I felt a dull ache. I guess… I was expecting that what he had was actually real and not just her ploy to get what she wants.Just then, Devyn and River went into the room. They were breathing heavily, and it seemed as if they were just chased by someone.“Where have you been?” I asked.“We—we were in our room, but we heard some things crashing. Oh god, I can’t breathe,” Devyn gasped out.River gently tapped his back. “Take deep breaths. I&r
My Rival, My Mate Chapter 50: The Imprisonment
EllaI woke up in a cold and dark room, my body felt like its been hit by a 100-tonne truck. I tried cradling my head, but my arms were restrained by chains. I hissed when I felt the rusted metal touch my sensitive skin.“Are you finally awake, bitch?” I heard Norman say, followed by the room being illuminated by a small orange light. It flickered every now and then, darkening the atmosphere.I squinted my eyes to adjust to the light, and I finally saw that I was in the dungeons. Adjacent to me was my frail mom and a sobbing Maria.“Mom! Maria!” I tried reaching out to them, but it was of no use. I only incurred more cuts and bruises on my wrist. Forgetting the pain, I tried to break free. However, that was clearly impossible.“Don’t hurt yourself, sweetheart,” my mother said in the soft voice that she always had.I looked at them and couldn’t help but feel tears falling from my eyes. “I&

Dalton“Have you ever heard of second-chance mates?”Their eyes widened in surprise. “I’ve only heard of it on TV or in fantasy books! But, I’ve never encountered second-chance mates in real life,” Devyn said in disbelief. “To think that you would actually have a second-chance mate is insane!”“Do second-chance mates even exist?” Hera asked with an awestruck look.I looked down on the ground. “Yeah. I almost couldn’t believe it when I found out myself. I don’t think she knows herself.”Hera went closer to me and patted me on the back. “Don’t worry, uncle Dalton. We’ll help you find her.”I raked my hands through my hair and bit my lips. “I just don’t know where to start.”“Hey,” River nudged his shoulders. “Where has your optimism gone? We’ll be able to find her. From my stay here, I&rsq

Third Person’s POV Hera, feeling a surge of confidence, circled her arms around Arlo’s neck and looked up to him with seductive eyes. “Who told you to hold back?” Arlo was speechless. Where did her sweet mate find the courage to be this provocative? Feeling helpless, he fell on top of her body and groaned into her neck, sending vibrations down Hera’s body. “You’re driving me crazy, baby.” Just as he said those words, he gripped Hera’s head tightly and pressed his lips against hers, simultaneously diving his tongue deep into her mouth, blocking the response that Hera was about to say. “Hmm...Haaa,” Hera only managed to breathe in a sliver of oxygen before her lips were once again claimed by Arlo. She knew that

Hera Arlo’s handsome face was the very first thing I saw the moment I woke up. I smiled and snuggled deeper into his neck. I sighed in contentment as I felt the warmth from his body radiating through mine. He tightened his grip on me and sniffed my hair. I giggled as his hot breath tickled my scalp. “Stop,” I said, pushing him away. “I wasn’t able to wash up last night,” I groggily said. He kissed my cheek. “I wiped you down, though. You passed out after the third round, so I went to the bathroom and wiped you with a warm towel.” I smiled and looked up at him with bright eyes. “So, you’ve also studied about aftercare, huh? Up to this moment, I’m still doubtful if this is your first time,” I said, narrowing my eyes. He chuckled and ruffled my hair. “How many times do I have to tell you? Who could I have had sex with aside from you? I’ve never been in a relationship before,” he said softly. I felt an indescribable feeling go through my b

Third Person’s Point of View It was another busy day in the Blood Shadow pack (what’s new), and everyone was running around, trying to do some last-minute touches before the commencement of Rivalee’s and Belluci’s first birthday party. In the midst of the bustling people, there stood two gentlemen on the stairway, observing a large portrait hung over the wall. “It’s up again, huh?” River asked. Dalton placed his hand under his chin. “Yes. How many times has it been? 12? 13 times since it has been replaced?” River nodded his head. “Yeah. I can’t believe Kairo always manages to hang it again after Arlo already destroyed each and every portrait.” “Well, that’s one thing about Kairo—he never gives up.” Ella, seeing the two idling idiots standing on the stairway, stomped over to where they were with crossed arms. “Stop looking at Kairo and Arlo’s ballet portrait and go to the front gate to greet the guests.

Third Person's Point of View"Dad, please. We haven't been on a date for like...ten months? Don't you think we deserve it?"Kairo merely glanced at his son before continuing to pack his back for the upcoming fishing trip that he was going to have with his friends."That's normal, son. When your mother and I had Laura, we didn't go on dates until she turned four.""That's a lie," Arlo retorted. "I clearly remember grandma Lily telling me that she'd often take care of Laura just so you and mom could go on dates."Kairo scratched the back of his head. "Well, can your date wait another month or so? I have fishing trips booked every weekend of the month."Arlo groaned. "We can't, dad! We'll be busy with Rivalee's and Belluci's joint birthday party by then! And you're going out fishing once again? Who are you even going with? Unce Dalton hasn't been fishing since Belluci's birth!""Well, it's his fault for having a baby so late. I'm g
My Rival, My Mate Special Chapter: The Baby Names
Third Person’s Point of ViewThey thought that there would only be peaceful days from now on—as Dalton and Arlo would be more focused on their children that they wouldn’t even have any time to ensue chaos. However, there was still one problem that they had to solve—the baby names.The two couples, along with River, Devyn, Emery, and Kairo, were seated on the living room couch, conversing about the topic of baby names.“I thought you’ve already decided on something during your term,” Emery said.“Yeah,” Ella said. “But Dalton thought that our little bean was going to be a girl and named him Princess.”“Then maybe you can just call him Prince,” Emery suggested.“That’s what I said!” Dalton exclaimed.“I feel like it’s too typical. And we’re not a kingdom, we’re a pack,” she defended.

Third Person's Point of ViewRiver carried Hera while Devyn carried Ella out of the room. The two women groaned in pain as they were carried down the stairs.The moment they got down to the living room, they saw their two husbands hugging each other."Thank you for saving my life, Arlo. Although, I would have totally won the competition if you just let me be."Arlo harshly patted his uncle's back, causing him to cough out. "I should have just let you choke to death."Devyn cleared his throat, causing the two men to look at them. Their eyes widened in surprise, and they rushed over to where they were when they saw their wives being carried by Devyn and River."Wh—What happened? Did you get hurt?" Arlo asked Hera."Love, did something happen?" Dalton asked his wife.Hera wanted to respond, but she was in too much pain that she couldn't even utter one word.Thankfully, Ella, who has
My Rival, My Mate Special Chapter: The Daddy Discourse pt.1
Third Person's Point of ViewThe Blood Shadow pack has never had a peaceful day after they discovered that both Ella and Hera are pregnant. Their husbands made it a pact to overdo each other in every aspect when taking care of their respective wives. From buying baby clothes to painting the nursery rooms and even down to the number of kicks that their babies have, the two men fought with pride.Even today, they were competing to see who could peel the most apples for their mates. Currently, they had a tower of sliced apples in front of them.Their wives, unbeknownst to the war happening in the kitchen, were happily conversing on the couch while watching a cartoon show."How far are you in the term right now?" Hera asked.Ella groaned. "I'm 42 weeks in right now. I'm already two weeks late to my delivery date, and by this time, I just want to give birth to this stubborn baby.""How about you?" she asked."
My Rival, My Mate Special Chapter: Surprise, I guess?
Third Person's Point of View"Do you think Hera's been acting weird these days?" Dalton asked, looking at the newly-wedded woman sitting on the couch and scarfing down on some lettuce.Not salad.Lettuce.Just plain lettuce.River clicked his tongue. "Well, my sister has been weird since birth, but I do agree that she's weirder these days.""Do you think it's because of Arlo? Has Hera finally lost her mind after marrying him? Maybe I should have warned her more about his weird mannerisms before their marriage," Devyn said.Dalton nodded his head in agreement."Are you badmouthing me behind my back?" a voice suddenly interrupted.The three men looked behind them and saw Arlo with his arms crossed, looking at them with raised eyebrows."You're weird. That's why your weirdness has rubbed off onto my sister," River blatantly said.Arlo frowned."There
My Rival, My Mate Special Chapter: Dalton's Rival
Third Person's Point of ViewIt was a beautiful morning in the Blood Shadow pack—not a single sign of chaos ensuing. That is until a familiar scream was heard all around the house."WHAT?" Dalton shouted, turning off the television.Ella worriedly looked around the house, afraid that Dalton's scream would wake up the other pack members."Shh, why do you have to shout? I'm just asking you to be the chaperone for Lyra's field trip.""But why?" he whined. "I'm going fishing with Kairo and the boys."Ella clicked her tongue. "You went fishing three days ago, Dalton! Maria invited me out to the town, and it's been a long time since we hung out. Don't you think I also deserve to go out of the house?""Would that be okay, though? Won't you get tired considering that you're pregnant?"Ella sighed and crossed her arms together. "Are you assuming that pregnant women can't go out and have fun anymore?"His e
My Rival, My Mate Special Chapter: The Surprise Party
Third Person's View The Blood Shadow pack has had a busy year. From Dalton and Ella's marriage to Hera and Arlo's, and now it was the birthday of the pack's most treasured child—Lyra. Each member was assigned a certain task. Some were assigned to cook food, the others with decorating the interior of the house, while others were just idle onlookers waiting for a task to be assigned to them. Dalton, on the other hand, was given the most important task of all—distracting Lyra while all the preparations were still coming through. You might be wondering why the pack needs to distract an incoming five-year-old on her birthday party, but Lyra has become much smarter than they think—maybe even smarter than Dalton. She picks up on things very easily, and even on her last birthday, she found her birthday presents before people could give them to her. Before the preparations commenced, Dalton woke Lyra up. To his surprise, Lyra was already up, leanin
My Rival, My Mate Special Chapter: "I take back my words..."
Third Person's Point of ViewNot even a month after Dalton and Ella’s marriage had passed when Arlo and Hera announced that they were planning on getting married. Emery, feeling a fiery passion in her heart, took the initiative to plan everything regarding the wedding. With her supernatural powers combined with her unwavering will, she was able to finish the preparations in just one month. And today, the most awaited event finally came.Hera and Arlo are currently separated in two rooms. They haven't seen each other for two days now because Emery planned a Bachelor and Bachelorette party for each of them. Arlo whined and groaned to his mother for arranging the party because he couldn't bear not seeing Hera on the days leading to their marriage.Arlo spent the entire night thinking of his mate and wishing that she was by his side. Hera, on the other hand, was having the time of her life. They went to an exclusive resort where they just drank and dance
