My Unexpected Lycan Mate Chapter 24
Linda dropped her piece of licorice as her mouth dropped open. Her eyes were the widest Eve had ever seen. Her mouth closed and opened again, but no sound came out. Finally, she cleared her throat and asked, “He stayed the night?” Eve nodded, feeling her face must be glowing from the heat she felt. “I’d ordered Chinese, and he happened to stop by as it was delivered, so I invited him in,” she told Linda. “We watched a movie and talked, then before you know it, it was time for him to leave, but neither of us wanted him to.” Linda grinned at her and said, “So, you convinced him to stay.” Eve nodded with a smile but couldn’t meet her friend’s eyes. Leaning even closer, Linda asked in a low voice, grinning at her friend, “And how was it?” Eve grinned back and wiggled her eyebrows. “It was as good as you’d expect,” she said. Linda sat back in her seat and fanned herself with the bag of licorice. “Whoooo, girl,” she said, grinning. “You are one lucky woman.” Eve giggled and n

After Eve and Linda had finished their meal, they stayed to at their table until Eve yawned. Linda glanced at her watch before asking her friend, “You’re not getting sleepy, are you?” Eve nodded and said, “My late night last night must be catching up to me.” Smirking, Linda said, “If only I could have that problem.” Eve laughed and shook her head. Linda looked around the almost-empty cafe and said, “If you’re ready, we can head out, and you can get home to get some much needed sleep.” Eve nodded and said, “I’m full and getting sleepy, so I think I’m ready.” She picked up her glass and took one final gulp of her tea, adding, “That should keep me awake until I get home.” They gathered their things, paid the bill, and left the restaurant. Continuing to talk as they walked to their cars, they didn’t notice a figure following them until it spoke. “Well, well, well,” a voice behind them said. “If it isn’t my two favorite ladies.” Eve and Linda whirled about, identical looks of

“You don’t have to come over,” Eve texted Arec. “Too late,” he replied. “I’m on my way.” Sighing, Eve shook her head and put the phone on her bed. She went to her dresser to get a pair of comfortable pajamas and changed into them as she waited for Arec to arrive. Pouring herself a glass of wine, she carried her glass, another glass, and the bottle of wine to the couch and sat down, curling her legs under her as she waited for him to arrive. Even though she was expecting him, she jumped when someone knocked on the door. “Eve?” Arec called out in a low voice. “It’s me.” Getting off the couch, she walked to the door and opened it. Arec rushed inside, shutting the door behind him and locking it. Turning toward her, he dropped a bag to the floor and took her in his arms, crushing her to him and pressing his lips to hers. She wound her arms around his neck and returned his kiss. After they broke apart, she said in a breathless voice, “If I’d have known you’d be greeting me like

Eve peered into the darkness, sure she’d seen something moving in the bushes. She jumped when she felt a hand touch her arm and whirled around, putting her hand over her pounding heart. “What are you doing?” Arec asked, looking past her to peer out of the window. Shaking her head, Eve said, “I’m not sure. I woke up and was drawn to the window.” Arec moved to put himself between Eve and the window and looked out. After a moment, he closed the curtains and said, “Wait here, and whatever you do, stay away from the window.” As he moved to pull on his pants, she asked, “What is it? What did you see?” “Just wait here,” he told her, rushing out of the bedroom. She hurried after him, but he shut the bedroom door in her face. Frowning, she crossed her arms over her chest and stared at the door. Finally, she sighed and walked to the bed to sit on the side. Staring at the wall, she crossed her arms over her chest and sighed. She shook her head and leaned back to get back into be

After Arec left, Eve took a shower and put on her pajamas. Getting into bed, she grabbed her book and tried to read to take her mind off the empty space next to her. After reading the same paragraph three times and it still not making sense, she put her bookmark on the page and closed the book. Setting it on the bedside table, she sighed and reached out to turn off the light. A noise from outside her window made her pause. She drew her hand back and rubbed her arms, trying to settle the shiver that ran through her. “It’s just the wind,” she whispered, though she hadn’t heard the wind blowing earlier. “Nothing’s out there. There’s no need to get scared just because Arec isn’t here.”She took a deep breath and reached toward the lamp again before hesitating. “Isn’t it better to see what’s coming rather than having it jump at you in the dark?” she whispered before shaking her head. “Get a hold of yourself, Eve,” she said in a low voice. “You’ve lived here for how long and

Coming to again, Eve slowly opened her eyes and gasped. She could see, and she was in her bedroom. She sat up, wincing at the pain in her head. Putting her hand over her eyes, she eased back against the pillows. “What is going on?” she muttered. “Was that just a crazy dream or something?” Her phone gave off the notification that she’d received a text. Groaning, she rolled over and reached blindly for it. She opened one eye to look at the screen. Her eyes widened as she saw numerous texts and phone calls from Arec. Opening the most recent one, she read, “If you don’t reply in the next five minutes, I’m coming over there. If you don’t answer the door, I’m breaking it down.” Typing as fast as she could, she wrote, “I’m here, but come over anyway. Something strange happened.” He wrote back, “I’ll be there in ten.” Setting the phone down, she eased herself into a sitting position, trying to ignore her pounding head. “I really need to take something for this headache,” she mut

“What do you mean you want me to move in with you?” Eve asked Arec, pulling away from him. He smiled at her and repeated, “I want you to move in with me. From what’s been happening to you, I don’t think you are safe living here on your own.” She stared at him with her mouth hanging open. Finally, she shut her mouth and shook her head. “I don’t think so, Arec,” she told him. “What would everyone at work think if we started walking into the office together after I’ve been there for such a short time?” He frowned and shook his head. “I don’t care what other people think,” he told her. “Not even your mother?” Eve asked, looking at him with a raised eyebrow. “Especially my mother,” he told her. Eve frowned as she looked at him. “I don’t know,” she told him. “It’s so sudden.” He put his finger under her chin and tilted her face toward his. “Unless I am mistaken, you feel the same way I do,” he said. She stared into his eyes before nodding. “I do,” she said. “I’m just sca

After Eve packed an overnight bag, Arec led her to her car. “I’ll drive,” he said, holding his hand out for her keys. “I’m perfectly capable of driving my own car,” Eve protested. “You were kidnapped and knocked out by something,” Arec said, staring at her with his palm open. “I’m driving.” Eve sighed and put her keys into his hand. “Fine,” she said. “But I’m still protesting.” “I get it,” Arec said, grinning at her. “It’s hard to relinquish control sometimes, but right now, I just want to take care of you.” He reached out to cup her cheek in his hand. She leaned into his touch and closed her eyes, smiling. “Are you sure you have everything?” Arec asked, breaking the spell. Eve lifted her head, opened her eyes, and nodded. “I packed everything I need,” she said. “I can always come back for more.” “Not without me, you can’t,” he told her. “I don’t plan on you coming back here by yourself if I can help it.” Eve shook her head but didn’t say anything more. She got into t

“What?” Arec asked, scrambling to his feet. “You mean to tell me Michael lost Craig and Linda’s trail?” Bella nodded, not looking up as a tear falling from her eye and rolling down her cheek. “He’s still out there, looking for them,” she said, “but he lost it on the other side of the creek.” “Damn it!” Arec swore, hitting the palm of his hand with his fist. “I knew we shouldn’t have left,” Eve said, scowling at him. “We should have stayed to help him search.” Arec walked over to Eve and put his arm around her shoulders. She shrugged it off, glaring at him. “I wanted to stay to help, but you told me Michael would be able to find Craig’s trail,” she said. “Now look what happened. Linda’s out somewhere with Craig, and we don’t know where they are.” Arec reached for her again, but she stepped out of his reach. “You should have let me stay,” she told him before stalking out of the room. Arec started to go after her, but Bella held him back. “What are you doing?” he asked his

When Eve met with Arec in the gym, she had changed into her workout leggings and tank top. She saw he had put on an old t-shirt and a pair of gym shorts and had spread the gym mats across the floor in preparation for their session. He was already warming up for their session and grinned as he spotted her. “Ready to warm up?” he asked her, leaning with his hands pressed against the wall to stretch his legs. She nodded, stretching her arms and shoulders as she walked toward him, and said, “Let’s do this.” Squatting, she moved from side to side to stretch her leg muscles. She stretched her legs out before standing. Arec stood from the wall and stretched his arms before jerking his head toward the center of the room. She nodded once. They walked to the center of the room and faced each other. Arec crouched into a fighting position and nodded at her. “Aren’t you going to transform first?” she asked, frowning as she waited for him to do so. He shook his head and said, “Not to warm

Eve waited, holding her breath, as Arec listened to Michael on the other end of the phone. Arec listened, then looked at Eve and nodded. “He found them?” she asked, hurrying to his side. Arec moved the phone away from his mouth and told her, “He has their trail.” Eve put her hand over her mouth as her eyes filled with tears. She hurried to the couch and sat down. As she waited for Arec to finish his conversation with his brother, she leaned forward with her hands clasped so tightly that her fingers turned white. After Arec hung up the phone, he looked at Eve and said, “He’s going to track them and call back when he has more information.”“Do you think it will take long?” she asked, her brows drawn upward in concern. “I’m not sure,” Arec told her, walking to the couch to sit beside her. “Michael is an excellent tracker, so I don’t think he’ll lose their scent.” He reached over to unclasp her hands and held her hands in his. “Linda’s going to be okay,” he told her. “How do
My Unexpected Lycan Mate Chapter 72
Eve gasped as Arec made the suggestion that Linda had been abducted. “Do you really think someone took her?” she asked. Arec and Michael sniffed the air before looking at each other and nodding. “What is it?” Eve asked, looking at them. “What do you smell?” She inhaled, then shook her head. “I don’t smell anything,” she said. “That’s because your senses are dulled when you’re not in your wolf form,” Arec told her. “Whereas we can still access our Lycan senses when we’re not in that form,” Michael said. “So, what are you smelling?” she asked. Arec and Michael glanced at each other again before Arec said, “We smell Craig.” “What?” Eve cried. “You think he has Linda?” Arec looked at Michael before nodding. “His stench is all over Linda’s car,” he said. Eve ground her teeth, and her hands balled into fists. Her eyes narrowed as she sniffed the air. She shook her head before she said, “I can’t smell anything, but I will find him and make him give Linda back!” “You

“So, how was your day with Linda?” Arec asked when Eve returned to the house, carrying her purchases inside. “It was nice to see her again,” Eve told him, smiling as she set the bags down. “You look like you had a good time,” he told her, grinning and nodding toward her shopping bags. Her smile widened into a grin as she waved toward the bags. “I think we bought out the entire shopping area,” she said. “At least, it felt like it.” Arec smiled and shook his head. “Should I even check the bank account?” he asked. Giggling, Eve shook her head and said, “It’s probably best that you don’t.” “Then, I won’t,” he said before picking up some of the bags in his left hand while holding out his right arm for her to grasp. She picked up the rest of the bags and slid her arm through his. They walked out of the living room toward the staircase. When they reached her room, she dropped her bags and dug her phone out of her purse. “Let me text Linda and tell her I made it home safe,”

Linda craned her head to follow Eve’s gaze and gasped. “That sure does look like Craig,” she said. “What is he doing here?” Eve scowled and took her napkin off her lap as she stood. “I don’t know, but I’m going to go out there and find out,” she said. Linda put her hand on Eve’s arm, stopping her friend. “Are you sure that’s wise?” she asked. “How well do you actually know that man? What if he’s dangerous?” Eve glared at him through the window and balled her hands into fists while she said, “He’ll find out who’s more dangerous when I go out there and confront him.” Linda frowned at her friend, then released her arm. Eve glanced at her friend and told her, “I’ll be right back.” Linda nodded and watched Eve leave the cafe. Eve marched out of the cafe, glaring at Craig, who leaned against a light post with his hands in his pockets. He spotted her and stood up. Linda continued to watch the scene as it played out. Eve marched out of the cafe, her eyes trained on Craig, who co

“Where?” Eve asked. “Where is Craig?” Linda pointed to a man standing on the other side of the pond. When Eve looked at him, he grinned at her and walked away. “That sure looked like Craig,” Eve said, staring at his retreating back. “I wonder why he was out there.” “I wonder why he didn’t come in and say hi,” Linda said, frowning. “Maybe he knows about Arec and didn’t feel comfortable talking to us,” Eve said, turning to look at her friend. She chewed on her thumbnail as she looked back out the window toward where Linda said Craig had been. Linda leaned forward and grinned at Eve. “So, how are things going with Mr. Right?” she asked. Eve turned to look at Linda and smiled. “We’re doing good,” she said. “You must be,” Linda said. “I haven’t seen or heard much from you lately!” Eve’s face fell, and she said, “I’m sorry about ignoring you lately, Linda. I didn’t mean to shut you out.” Linda reached across the table to pat her friend’s hand and said, “Don’t worry about

Eve’s phone rang, startling her from her thoughts. Looking at the screen, she smiled before she answered it. “Hey, girl,” she greeted Linda. “How have you been?” “Long time, no talk,” her friend said. “I’ve been good. How about you?” Eve paused as she thought about the events since she’d last spoken to her friend before saying, “I’ve been good. What’s new?” “Just the same old, same old,” Linda said. “Still single and trying to mingle to find that special someone. Speaking of a special someone, how’s your man doing?” Eve felt her face warming as she smiled and said, “He’s doing good. We’re doing good.” “I haven’t seen you in a bit, so I wanted to give you a call,” Linda said. “I figured you’d been spending time with your man and forgot all about me.” Eve shook her head and said, “I could never forget about you.” “Glad to hear that,” Linda said with a chuckle. “So, what’s new with you?” Eve asked. “Found anyone who has stolen your heart yet?” Linda chuckled and said, “Not
My Unexpected Lycan Mate Chapter 67
Eve’s mouth dropped open at Arec’s announcement. “Fight you?” she asked when she found her voice. “Are you serious?” Arec nodded and said, “Of course I am. I’m the best option you have.” He held up his fingers as he counted the ways. “I’m your mate, so I’m not going to hurt you,” he said. “I know you better than Michael, so I should be able to anticipate what actions you’re going to take. Also, if you injure me, I won’t react like Michael would.” Turning to his brother, he shrugged and said, “No offense, Michael.” Michael shook his head and changed back into his human form. “None taken,” he said before asking, “Do you think it’s wise to do this, Arec?” “I would rather be the one to train her so that I can take the blame if any information gets out to the werewolves,” he said. “Plus, she’s my mate, so I don’t think she’ll tell them anything if it’s me she’s fighting.” “He makes a good point,” Bella said, tilting her head and pursing her lips as she studied them. “I don’t thin
