My True Mate CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN
Levi“I want you to know how much we really appreciate pack members like you,” Sarah says, as I finish up my dessert before switching off for patrol for the night. “Your willingness to help keep us safe is admirable. We couldn’t do this successfully without that kind of bravery and sacrifice.”I smile with pride at her words. This is one of the reasons why I’m devoted to her and this pack. I always feel appreciated her, welcomed. I feel like I truly matter.“I appreciate you,” I reply. “Honestly, Sarah, you are an incredible Alpha. Something about you inspires confidence. It makes me believe in the mission of this pack. And I’d do anything to help see it through. I’m just grateful to be part of it.”“I’m so glad to hear that,” she says. “Just stay safe, okay? Stay with your partner. I want everyone to be safe.”“We will be,” I vow. “We don’t need to lose another member of the pack.”At that, I finish up the last of my food and head out to my post to relieve my twin sister from

Sarah“You are stunning,” Lucas says, as we wake up the next morning.His brilliant eyes captivate mine and I never want to look away. I want to stay in his arms forever.“And you are gorgeous,” I tell him. “I’m so lucky to have you. We’re so lucky to have this. It’s worth every bit of work we’ve put in so far and even… it’s worth the pain as long as we end up together in the end. I would do anything to be with you.”The words ring true and it amazes me how much I mean them, how deeply they resonate within my soul.Being with Lucas has been amazing in many ways. It’s also been heartbreaking at times. There were times when I was distraught over the fact that he was my mate.We made it out of that though. And though we still have our issues and things aren’t completely fixed yet, I’m seeing how wonderful things can be. I’m falling even more in love with him again.“I’m so grateful for you,” he says, nuzzling me. “I’m so glad you’re going on this lifelong journey with me. And I k
My True Mate CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN
LucasI’m a little worried about stopping in to see the fairies. Not because I think it’s a bad idea, but because I suspect our pack wouldn’t agree with it. Still, it is nice to be back again. I’ve missed them all and it does feel like a place where we belong, despite how strange that is.The fairies look weary as we join them. They flutter to us but with much less enthusiasm than before. They’re all disheartened and I’m nervous about hearing whatever they have to share with us.“We haven’t seen you in a while,” the leader, Penelope says as she confronts us. She’s the most angelic looking fairy with gold wings, purple eyes, and silver hair. She glows as she flies and clearly has the most abundance of magic. Though she’s smaller, I feel inferior in front of her.“We’ve come across some problems with our pack,” Sarah explains. “Two of our members have gone missing. One was found in the woods but… she was found dead. Whoever took her killed her in a horrific manner.”“I’m so sorry
My True Mate CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN
SarahAfter locking ourselves in our office together, me and Lucas have come up with a plan. Neither of us like it though. And I want to find any other option.I can’t. As leaders of the pack, we must do unpleasant things like this. We must take risks. We can’t expect anyone else to do it for us if we won’t.Before we announce it though, we spend a little time with Fergus. We play with him, cuddle him, and read him stories while feeding him his favorite snacks. His sweet, baby face is imprinted in my mind. I’ll carry him with me no matter where I go.Even once he’s sleeping, we hold him for a little longer. We hesitate more than we should. Until finally, we force ourselves out of the door to rejoin our pack.As we stand in front of them all, curious faces look to us for guidance. There’s so much hurt, fear, and uncertainty in their eyes. Everyone is terrified and unsettled. We have to make this right.“As you all know, we’re mourning another loss today,” I say, standing in fron

SarahLucas and I keep running after our adventure by the waterfall. We’re both tired, but we push ourselves to get their faster. We both feel a little guilty about the break, so we’re determined to make up for the time we lost.However, it’s not like we left super early in the day. And eventually we have to stop. We make camp for the night and I watch him from across the light of the fire. He’s so handsome that I just want to be with him always. I want a break from the craziness so we can just enjoy each other.“I love you,” I say, as cuddle each other close that night.“I love you too,” he whispers. And I can tell he means each word. Our bond is strengthened once again.We shift into our wolf forms so we don’t need a blanket, then curl up together. I bury my head into the warm fur of his neck. With him I feel happy, safe, and totally in love. Despite the circumstances we find ourselves in, I’m content as we drift off to sleep.My bladder isn’t what it used to be like though n
My True Mate CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY
SarahWhen I awaken, my head is pounding. My body feels weak and shaky. Everything hurts, as if someone punched me relentlessly. Though I don’t remember getting in a fight with anyone recently.Something is wrong. Even before I’m clearly aware of what that is, I know something is wrong. I know it’s vital that I get out of this situation.Then, the world that was once hazy becomes clearer. Shapes snap into their true form and I’m able to make sense of things a little easier.I’m in a silver cage with only grass to act as the floor. There are no accommodations for me in here which leads me to believe that I won’t be kept in here for long.So, what are they planning on doing with me? I think back to Abigail and Levi. Whatever they intend to do, it won’t be good. I need to stop this.“The Alpha, huh?” A man with dark hair walks up to me, his red eyes glowing with excitement. His shark features make him look inhumane. Paired with his face tattoos, he looks intimidating. I’ve never
My True Mate CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE
AdrianaMy home is the most magical out of everyone else’s in the group. I stretch in my satin sheets that are fitted over my gold bed and I look around at the riches that are continuously brought to me.The finest foods and drinks it upon ornate tables. My favorite paintings hang on royal purple walls. A gold, full length mirror is perfect for showing off the wide array of clothes that were tailor made for me. And the white and gold furniture makes me feel like one of those queens I’ve read about in the vast book collection I have.So, I feel bad for complaining. I never do out loud. I don’t want to sound ungrateful. In my mind though, I’m screaming from boredom.I haven’t been allowed to leave my gold cage for a week. I’ve been banished to my room, though I haven’t done anything wrong. I paint, play my harp, read, write.Yet I miss the sunlight on my skin. I miss the feel of the grass beneath my bare feet. I miss the quiet of the woods, the gentle sounds of nature around me.
My True Mate CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO
SarahI couldn’t be more confused by the girl standing in front of me, and she looks confused as well which makes everything even more confusing.This girl is different than the others. She’s dressed differently, but it goes deeper than that. She radiates a sort of innocence and naivety. She doesn’t seem as tainted as the rest of them.She has to be though. She’s part of this horrible cult. I remind myself that they killed other wolves. They’re all evil. I can’t let her appearance fool me.“You can’t mean that,” the girl says, her already pale face growing even whiter at his words. “You can’t sacrifice her. She’s… she’s a person. We never sacrifice living things.”I’m shocked at this. How can this girl be so clueless? Does she truly believe what she says? Or is this all so twisted act?“I understand why this is shocking,” Kayden says patiently. “But she’s not just a normal human. She’s the Alpha of a wolf pack. She’s far more powerful than she looks, and when we sacrifice her,

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
