My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY EIGHT
My jaw goes slack at his bitter declaration, “What? True mate?”“Yes,” Damon sounds almost defeated. I look in the direction of where Aliya escaped and I hesitate, “How is that possible? She’s a witch-““And I’m a shifter,” Damon snaps, sinking on top of a log and glowering at the ground. “I’m well aware that we are different species, Lucas. I’m not blind.”“But it can’t be possible-““And yet it is!” He looks at me, both defeated and angry at the same time. “It is possible because it’s happening.”I don’t really know how to react right now, “Has it - Has something like this ever happened before?”“We’re looking for answers. We’ve not - The bond hasn’t set in place. We’ve held it off but it’s getting harder and harder to do.”The despair in Damon’s voice is hard to ignore and I study him in silence, trying to rack my own brain, “There must be some precedent.”“We haven’t found any-““But records have been lost and destroyed by the Order,” I insist. “You c
My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE
There are shocked faces when eyes turn towards us but before anyone can say anything, I step up, “We were sent by Fred to protect the archives room and join the battle.”There are wary glances towards us till one of them steps forward, “Identify yourself.”All of them look battle hardened and it takes a few minutes of explanations for the suspicion to disappear from their eyes.A few men and women approach the front of the group. Their first question on their lips is for Fred.“I’m sorry,” My voice is heavy. “He didn’t make it.”Their faces fall and the grief in their eyes is a terrible sight to see. “He saved us,” One of the older women says, sadly. “He sacrificed his life for us.”Sarah looks at me before turning her attention towards the woman, “We are very sorry for your loss. But we also need to know all the details. Fred mentioned some prophecy. He told us that you have been gathering an army and that’s the archives room needs protection.”My lips cur
My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY
My memory of Samantha is hazy. My interactions with her had taken place when I had been under Carmine’s control. But from the way she looks at me, I know that she doesn’t have a very good impression of me.However, she smiles broadly at Sarah, “It’s been a while.”And to my shock, Sarah runs towards her, throwing her arms around the older woman in a tight hug, “How have you been?!”“Busy,” Samantha hugs her back before letting her go and looking around. “It’s been a hell of a year. And what about you?”She holds Sarah away from her, studying her, and then frowning, “You’ve lost considerable weight.”Sarah’s smile slips and she changes the subject, “When did you get here?”“I’ve been in contact with the Records Keepers Clan ever since I left. I’ve been gathering allies. I have some people planted within the Order and have been receiving information. An army is marching here. They’ll be here in a few more days.Aliya tells Samantha about the prophecy we know.“It’
My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY ONE
“That’s more than an army,” I hiss to myself.Sarah makes a sound agreement, “We don’t have enough people.”Her voice makes me go cold and I turn around and take her hand, desperately, “Please go! Take your wolves and go! Go back to the pack or to your grandfather!”I can see the worry in her eyes but she shakes her head, “Lucas, it’s –““Sarah,” I cut her off, frightened for what might happen to her. “Look at them. We have no chance. We don’t have enough fighters. They clearly came here well prepared. And if they already know about this prophecy, they know it’s talking about you. They’ve unconverted enough information about your life to know. Sarah, run!”Her hand tightens around mine, “I’m not leaving you here. Or Kayla. I can summon the wolves. That will give us an edge.”“Not at the cost of your life,” Fear is gripping my throat. “Why are you being so stubborn?! Why can’t you just listen to this once?!”“This once?!” She glares at me. “You want me to leave you
My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY TWO
The silver wolf comes flying towards us, slicing through the vampires with incredible strength. Her teeth sink into the one who has me and he screams as she rips him apart.I take advantage of the momentary distraction and jump right into the foray, pushing the vampires back.An arrow flies towards us, embedding itself into the neck of one of the vampires and as he gasps, I crush him quickly and effortlessly. Once we’ve essentially pushed them back and have a moment to ourselves, Sarah stops and looks at me. I pad over to her, sniffing her, as if to reassure myself that it’s really her. She lets me sniff her and then moves away, uncertainly in her eyes. Lately, the rift between has been growing smaller and smaller but I can understand her wariness. She takes a few steps back before rushing into the battle, leaving me behind.I transform back, trying to a get a hold of my senses as I stare at her.A year of thinking her wolf was dead when that was never the case.
My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY THREE
Kayla’s face grows tense and she takes a step back, “That’s not normal. I don’t even think that’s entirely Other. I’ve never seen something like it.”The creature has a human face but completely expressionless. However, there is a vicious greed in its eyes as it looks at Kayla, whose flames begin to spread down her arms.“Sarah,” I say in warning. “This isn’t good.”“I know,” She replies, her face pale. “Kayla-““He wants me,” The Phoenix says, harshly. “Don’t get in our way. That one is powerful-““We’re not leaving you by yourself!” I hiss and Sarah nods in angry agreement. The frustration in Kayla’s voice is sharp, “He’ll kill you!”Sarah pulls out her swords once again, “We’ll take our chances! You stay behind us!”The enemy seems to have given a wide berth to us, no one wanting to interfere in this new fight.At first there is silence and then the demonic looking creature makes a beeline for Kayla. Kayla lets outs a stream of fire that stops the creatur
My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY FOUR
A hush falls over the battlefield as everyone turns to look at the ball of flames that has enveloped Kayla.Sarah is holding on to me, gasping Kayla’s name, as I hold her back from running straight into the fire ball which is expanding inch by inch.Aliya, who is badly wounded, hobbles over to us, “It shouldn’t hurt her. It can’t. She’s the Phoenix. Fire is her element.”But she sounds shaky as well, uncertain.“Aliya,” I give her a pleading look as Sarah’s blood begins to pool around her, her face going pale. “Help her!”Aliya crouches next to Sarah, placing her hands on her body, trying to transfer some healing power into her.However, it doesn’t seem to be working.Her face is white as a sheet as she tries again before letting out a gasping breath, “I can’t. I can’t heal her. It’s like something is blocking me!”My hands shake as I see Sarah’s eyes grow dimmer by the minute.I shake my head, desperately, my eyes burning with unshed tears, “Not like this! Y
My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVE
Shock enters Sarah’s eyes and suddenly the whole scenery crumbles and I can no longer see her. This time, I am standing in pitch darkness, all except for a single golden thread in front of me.It looks dull and faded, as if it had once seen glory days but now, no longer. My heart is trembling from the force of my emotions but Sarah is no longer there.I call her voice in a raspy tone but once again, like before, I am met with a heavy silence and an unnatural stillness. “Sarah?” I call out again.The silence is heavy and damning and I approach the dull looking golden thread.As I approach it, I realize, it’s not a thread but like a thick rope which is frayed at the edges, barely holding on. There is a beautiful deep engraving on it. A closer inspection reveals that the engraving has begun to fade a little from the edges.Straightening up, I look around once more, “Sarah?”But my call fades with no answer.I turn my attention back to the rope and this tim

SarahThe days that follow are sad ones. We all have to come together as a pack to work through the loss of so many loved ones. “I really thought we were finding peace,” Dustin says, as we gather together three days later. “I hoped it would stay.”“We’ll find that now,” I tell him. “There are always going to be times of peace and times of conflict. I’ve learned we have to accept that as a way of life. That’s the downside of being in a wolf pack.“But the good days outnumber the bad. And we’re strong, we’re fierce. We’ll get through this and defeat any enemies that might come up next. We just have to trust in each other and have faith in the pack.”The words resonate with me as I say them. Despite all the hardships, I’m more devoted to this pack than I ever have been. I’ve learned to accept the ups and downs which are easier to manage now that things between Lucas and I don’t feel quite as fragile.“That’s why you’re a great leader,” Dustin says. “You inspire us all to do just

LucasAs I watch my baby in Sarah’s arms, I’m happier than I ever thought I’d be. A son and a daughter. It feels like now our family is complete. Though I’m open to more children in the future. Right now, I’m just content.Sarah and I tend to be rough sleepers though. So, as Sarah dozes off, I take Evelyn from her arms and place her in the bassinet. Then, I join Sarah on the bed.“She’s beautiful,” I say, cuddling my sleepy mate. “You’re beautiful. I’m so grateful to you for bringing our children into our life like you have. “I know it’s never easy. I won’t even pretend to understand what you go through. But you give up so much for our family. I appreciate that more than I can express.”“And I appreciate you,” she says. “You’re a wonderful father and a fantastic husband. I’m so glad to share all of this with you. I’m so grateful to be building a family with you.”I kiss her and the warmth of having my true mate in my life envelopes me. It just feels so natural and right when y

Sarah“That is an incredible offer,” I say, my eyes staring right into Azar’s. “You’ve promised so much, and I know we’d both prosper within a formed alliance. However, we can’t promise our daughter’s hand in marriage.”My words prompt a hearty response. Some are mere whispers while others are outright defiant. Many can’t believe that we would turn away from this. But we have to do what’s right for our daughter.“Now, I’m not shutting down the idea of a future marriage completely,” I clarify. “Maybe our daughter will end up with your son. Maybe they will be mates.“But we’ll have to wait and see once she’s old enough to decide. Since we’ll be allies regardless, they’ll know each other. They can spend time together.“If our daughter decides that your son is her mate and they both love each other, then they can get married. We’re going to leave that up to her though. We don’t want to make such a big decision for her before she can even consent to it.”Azar’s demeanor falls. It re

LucasSarah looks at me with an expectant look on her face, and I’m just not sure what I should say. The kiss still bothers me. It hurts me. As her mate, I have reason to be upset.The guilt still haunts me though. It reminds me of how I hurt her. It whispers that I deserve this. I know that I deserve this.“It’s nothing,” I insist.“Lucas, please open up to me,” she says. She takes my hand in hers and looks at me with those eyes I never can resist. “I saw you and Azar last night,” I confess. “I saw the kiss.”Sarah looks at me with shock and guilt written upon her face. I hate that. It’s proof that what I saw was true. They did kiss. She betrayed me.“I know I betrayed you horribly,” I continue. “So, I understand that I deserve that. But it still hurts, Sarah. “I thought we had moved past all of that. I thought we were solid. I thought we weren’t ever going to let anyone get between us again. But I guess I was wrong.”Jealous tears through me as the kiss replays in my min

LucasI’m surprised then when I wake, Sarah isn’t beside me. I panic. After everything that’s happened, I simply can’t help it. There are too many ways things can go wrong.I need her near me. I need to always know that she’s okay.After a deep breath, I realize that something feels wrong. Something seems off. I walk to Fergus’ room and see him sleeping peacefully. I tuck the baby monitor in my pocket and step outside. I won’t go far, I can’t go far without Fergus, so hopefully she’s close by.It doesn’t seem like she is at first. I look all around our home and don’t see her. Then, I go towards the back yard and I stop.Sarah is there, but the tree line, but she’s not alone. He’s with her. The anger from earlier boils within me again.I know I shouldn’t be jealous, especially not after what I did to Sarah. I have no right to worry about that after all I put her through. And nothing truly awful has happened between them. I don’t have a solid reason to be upset.Besides, I tru

Lucas“You don’t have to give an answer right now,” he rushes in to say. “I’m not expecting you to be sure of anything right now. It’s just something to think about.”I’m so taken off guard by this that I don’t know a single word to say in response. I have tried to push aside my fears that he wants to seduce Sarah and getting to know them all a little better has helped me to do so.My daughter though… I never thought he’d be after my daughter. Arranged marriage? “That’s a big topic,” Sarah says slowly. “We’d definitely need time to think about it further. We’d have to talk through this amongst ourselves.”“Of course,” Azar replies with a pleasant smile. “I’m not trying to force your hand or anything. Take as much time as you need. It is a big decision but I think it’s the right one.”We don’t stay out much longer than that. We circle back to the gathering for a little while. But everyone is tired, so we all head back home soon after.It’s only once we’re back home that every

SarahI take a moment to give Lucas a hug and another kiss before we step into the area where the feast is being hosted. I can sense that he’s still a little insecure about things, but he had no reason to worry. I’m going to be true to him always.I’ll admit though, I am intrigued by this new pack. I wonder about the kinds of magic they can do. I’m curious about all they have to offer.As we walk towards their Alpha, the pack starts to congregate together, which is a little strange. Before this, they were mingling with everyone else. There seems to be a shift though as we approach them.“We’re so grateful you’ve accepted us,” Azar says, flashing that friendly smile. Is there anything flirtatious about it? I don’t really think so.“To show our gratitude, we would like to show you something,” he continues. “A little show before dinner.”I hesitate. What if this is something malicious? I don’t know anything about this pack. Is it a trap?They’re already here though. They could tr

LucasAfter everything else that’s happened, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about this new pack joining us. It’s not like it’s uncommon for packs to approach each other, especially if they think a mutually beneficial alliance can be formed.The fact that packs are now approaching us like this shows our growth. I’m proud of Sarah for bringing this pack to greatness like this. I’m happy to welcome newcomers in.It’s just that there’s been a lot going on lately. And it still seems like a risk to allow anyone new to come into this peaceful place we created.Then, I realize that I’m sounding a bit like how Liza sounded when we brought Brandon in. It gives me more empathy towards her but also makes me realize that maybe I’m being a bit paranoid.It will be good to have another alliance. This could ultimately be beneficial to us. So, I help answer questions as the pack follows us. I remain as engaging as possible as I get to know them.“You’ve truly created something impres

SarahChills run down my spine as I listen to this prophecy about our daughter. I always knew our children would be great. But I never expected something like this.Could it be true?I assume it is considering the way this prophecy has been delivered. What does it mean though? How do we deal with something like this?Before we can ask any questions, the bubble floats off into the sky which grows lighter again. The lights turn back on. The candles are re-lit.Lucas and I look to each other as everyone looks to us for answers. Yet I’m stumped. Usually I know what to say, but not this time.“I have no idea where that came from,” I admit. I’ve found that when it comes to being Alpha, the best way to approach these sorts of things is from a place of honesty. “However, I can say that I feel blessed.“It’s clear our daughter will be special. I don’t know exactly what that means yet, but we will take care of her to the best of our ability. We’ll cherish her just as we do Fergus. We’ll
