A Mate’s Response
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Eva couldn’t believe the passion he put into the kiss. After his words to his alpha, left her feeling cold and rejected. The demanding heat in his kiss infuriated her further. Once his lips left hers, he didn’t get a chance for the passion drunk smile to cross his lips fully before her hand connected with his face.
“Really?! You have a contract to mate with one of my best friends and you kiss me like that?! Mate or not. You don’t have the right to do that.” Eva broke out of his embrace and stormed off toward the lake house again. “I’m too busy looking for my friend and your mate-to-be.” was all she said as she disappeared up the path.
“Eva!” Damon threw up his hands and looked at the lake for an

Second Chance for the Alpha Out of the Rain
Haden sat sullenly in the passenger seat of the SUV. She’d overruled him in that she insisted she drive because she knew the roads better. They’d argued for so long that the rain began while they were only halfway up the road to the old packhouse. The mud was so bad that she had to pull over to an old barn. That’s where they found another SUV. Luckily, both SUVs fit into the old barn. The roof leaked in a few places, but it was at least dry inside. But there was no way they would make it to the main house in this weather. But Haden was sure he saw a faint light on in one of the upper windows of the house. “Well, good news. I think this is our missing SUV.” Janine said as she walked around the two vehicles. “I guess they didn’t want us finding it any time too soon. Smart idea hiding it here.&

Emily left the bathroom, and she pouted through most of the breakfast as they ate. “You know what bothers me the most?”“No, but that’s never stopped you from telling me before. No, that’s not true, is it? You’ve been keeping things from me for years. Just saying the bare truth with none of those pesky embarrassing details. Am I right and this will be one of the more biting ones?”“At least, you recognize what you’ve been doing. What would have been the point? You showed no interest in me as a woman. I was always an afterthought, or don’t you get it? I’m the crutch you fall back on. Maybe you should be the one looking for truths about why I said nothing about this before? Or perhaps you might try remembering the times I told you and it fell on deaf ears.”James looked at Emily like he was seeing her for the first time. But she was sure that this was only a momentary lapse on his part.
Second Chance for the Alpha A Long Night
Haden could get used to this. What caused her to go from cold to hot like this? He could get behind and he wasn’t about to look a gift horse in the mouth. He quickly divested them of the water bottles, then pulled her in close. So not to scare her, he let her be on top and take the lead. Janine decided if her son could play fast and loose, why couldn’t she? When a gorgeous wolf of a certain age came knocking and showed an interest. Why did she have to spurn him? Now she thrilled at having him at her mercy and she got down to business. With her hands on his belt, she easily opened his jeans. She heard him gasp as she revealed what he offered. Janine resisted giggling when she realized he still had it all. When she stroked him, his whole body responded like he’d been deliciously shocked.&nbs

“Hate you? No, I don’t hate you. But I am at the end of my rope. I can’t take watching you damage yourself and put this pack at risk anymore. That means if I can’t fix it, then I can’t stay.” Emily decided now she’d tell him the unfiltered truth, even if he wasn’t ready. The fact is, he’d never be ready. “Bull. I have never put the pack at risk.” James couldn’t believe she said that about him. He was a good alpha. Truth was now that she said it, something niggled at the back of his mind, and he didn’t like it. “Don’t make me count the ways. We’ll be here for days. But I’ll say it this way. This is just the latest in a long line. You disappeared on them f
Second Chance for the Alpha Let the Hunt Commence
Janine woke to the pale morning light filtering in through a loose board on the barn’s side. The rain stopped recently; she could still hear the water dripping off things outside. “Well, good morning.” A deep voice said into her right ear. That’s when it registered with her. The pillow she was using was a little too hard and warm. Because it wasn’t a pillow but Haden’s arm. Janine sat up quickly when she remembered exactly how she got into this position. What was she thinking, kissing him, and then letting everything get out of hand like that? What must he think of her? This was all too humiliating for her to think about. “We should get to the house and find them before they disappear on us again.”&
Second Chance for the Alpha Time Up, Explain Yourself
James woke because he heard something. He wasn’t sure what. But something woke him. His first thought went to Emily, but she lay beside him, asleep. He needed to get her squirrelled away safely before he investigated the noise. It could be nothing and it was a member of his pack or a stray forest animal trying to find a dry place to stay. Either way, they were just coming to some agreement, and he didn’t want anyone interfering with her staying with him. “What’s wrong? Why are you so tense?” “Heard something, like someone on the stairs. Stay here. If it gets noisy, hide in the bathroom.” “You know I’m trained to fight at y
Second Chance for the Alpha Trapped in the Lake House
“I can’t believe it. Just when we begin searching, it rains. Geez.” Eva stormed about inside the lake house. “Don’t drip on the floor. There are towels in the bathroom over there. But clean up the puddles you leave because I’m not doing that.” She grabbed a kitchen towel and started rubbing at her hair.Damon stomped into the bathroom and easily found a series of shelves full of fluffy towels. Drying off, he fumed over her attitude. Eva was about to learn that she didn’t make her mate suffer. He’d kept her clothes dry, but does she thank him? No, she didn’t. He was fuming as he left the bathroom. He’d thought she was joking until she slammed the door in his face and left out there for several minutes. “Find I’ve stopped dripping on your precious floors. Now stop acting all prickly. We’ll g
Second Chance for the Alpha Rash Decisions
His phone pinged, distracting him for the come-hither stare of his mate, silently begging him to do all sorts of delicious things to her. A quick look showed a text for his alpha. “Sit tight and do nothing either of us might regret.” A glance at his bars told him that this would be the last text or call he got for a while. There were no bars or internet access out here. Their phones were paperweights for now, while the storm raged outside.“Who’s it from? What does it say?”“That was my alpha. It basically says he knows me too well. He’s worried I’ll do something foolish and put everything at risk.” Damon threw his phone on the counter. “Now where were we? Right, I wanted to know if you want

The candle and a long stem lighter, so Gwenda chose to use the lighter without the candle and she heated the back of the paper. “Here goes nothing.” It took several minutes, but something appeared. “No one knows we used this trick. I had to have written it. There’s no other way this could have worked. Now what do we have? GPS coordinates, wait. There’s another set. Maybe I went back to get the coordinates?” As she move about the page, a set of seven coordinates appeared. She took the flame away, but gasped. “There’s something else here. Hold, let me reveal it too.” Everyone moved in closer and watched an eighth GPS location appear. “Either location? Where’s does that lead to?” This stumped her for a moment. “We need to plug these into a GPS system and see where they all lead to. The first one isn’t anywhere near the others.” “Of course not. The first one is in Orion’s Forest Territory. They probably scattered the others around here. I recognize the general numbers f

Finally, Asia’s plan came to fruition. Today, they would have their mating ceremony. Janine helped so much, with all the plans. She’d gone above and beyond when it came to their unique needs. But Asia now saw that it was safer for their packs to stay where they were. Penny now scared Asia with little comments, and her track record of being accurate with those comments was the reason.Asia watched the internet as information leaked out. Much of the speculation came from disbelievers and conspiracy theorists. The government and law enforcement had little to say, which only fuelled the debate more. Asia knew there was nothing to be done but to stay quiet and let the ruling council deal with it.Today was her mating ceremony, and it would be a good time in her life. It took long enough to get this far with Thomas and her pack. She wasn’t going to fool herself. There would always be someone commenting on the changes in a negative way.Those witnessing in person were minimal and all, but Ap
Second Chance for the Alpha Alpha meeting
Karl greets the Alphas as they file into the room he’s using as a study currently. Once they’re settled with tablets, notepads, etcetera, James opened the meeting. “Alright, I think we can skip the intro to the reason for this meeting. We all know why and who we are. Okay Karl, tell us what you have found.”“Thank you, Alpha De Marre. Yes, uh, this is extremely complicated, so please bear with me as I need to explain there’s far too much back story. First, I have received some upsetting news. The latest attack by the Fae was investigated by my life partner’s enforcement team. The entire team is missing. I want to leave and go help, but I have been told not to stay here to continue working. Second, there’s supposed to be a Fianna weapons expert coming, and they are now late. Now, what I found while translating the journal. Hold on, I missed a few disturbing facts.” Karl held up a smaller book. “All original surviving copies of the translation book for the Fae language at in the univers

Karl now turned his attention to contacting his life mate, Pat. Everyone should be home. It was early there.He kept trying with no luck to connect with Pat. Karl didn’t like the feelings of isolation. Or that he didn’t know where Pat was.After some time, it forced him to decide to stop trying. He couldn’t reach anyone at home. It was as if the location was empty of life and that was far from normal. He took a break and found himself a drink and lunch. He could eat before stopping by the front desk to request that they explain how to find the room he was using to study the books in. When he identified the weapons, he did it under the view of the local arms master who ran James’ armoury. They worked together with attempting to understand what weapons killed which creatures. Some were pretty famous while others were far front known. He needed a person who understood lore and creatures from it. He knew languages used for writing magic spells and rituals. He wasn’t truly a specialist an
Second Chance for the Alpha Creeping Suspicions
“Morning Karl, I have a response from the council. The Fianna will send a representative out to assist you. I’m surprised they moved this quickly. They have requested we send them via a mage driven portal rather than flighting out there. You should see them after lunch. Let the front desk know where they will find you. We’ve arranged for their stay. Now, how is the translation coming? Those weapons can’t be handed over without an understanding of what their purpose and function is.” Mages were well ahead of the everyday man. Humans finally got video calling, mages always had that. They called it scrying and Karl used it now to contact his mentor. Who was within the grand walls of the great library? Mages had to have a mentor while they studied and proved themselves. “Thank you, that’s great news. I have most of it translated. Currently, I’m attempting to build a detailed catalogue. With entries about each weapon mentioned within the journal. After that, I must identi

Asia met with Janine the next morning to organize her mating ceremony. Thomas and Haden couldn’t help with it since they needed them to help with the latest discovery. “So here we are. I think I have everything ready for you to look through. There’s even a checklist, so as we fill the binder, we know we haven’t missed anything. Now, so I can help direct you in the right direction. What did you have in mind?” Janine tried to give off a professional air. She ended her words and held her breath, waiting for Asia’s response. “Oh, well, I don’t want anything too complicated. Actually, Thomas and I have been talking about it and we realized that there’s no way we can get everyone we want here without going over the budget.” Asia peaked at Janine, unsure how she would react. Asia watched Janine’s face fall. “Oh, we still want a simple mating ceremony, but we want to live stream it to both territories. We’ll have two receptions later on. But it makes everything a hu

“Okay, now you have to tell me who pushed you to do that. I want to thank them. It was perfect.” Emily sat in the bath with James and a glass of wine. She couldn’t see her official mate as she sat between his thighs with her back leaning against his chest. “I’ll start getting offended if you won’t believe me. It was my idea and others just helped. I didn’t like how much you were doing with the pups, pack, resort, and trying to get the mating ceremony setup. It was too much for anyone. I wanted you to relax and enjoy this time.” “You really have changed. A year ago, you wouldn’t have cared if I collapsed from exhaustion.” Emily was a little beyond tipsy now after the refreshments at the reception and drinks at the spa. She’d been careful, but they added up. James, too, was nicely mellowed out. They handed their pups off with a pack caregiver on duty for the night. “Yes, I would have. I relied on you far too much. I think if things hadn’t gotten to the extreme, thi

You’d think mages would write everything down on paper and there would be hundreds if not thousands of people employed to look it up at the university. But that wasn’t the case. Computers hold their own kind of logical magic. People just accept that it’s a science. But Karl was aware of the rare instance when some sort of information made it into the hands and minds of those that needed to information to change the world.Here, Karl had the name of a mage, but no time period. They had an app for that. He sent the information about the approximate dates from the journal. Then he hoped for the best. If the name was in the database, he would receive that information soon enough. If it wasn’t, then he could proceed to a physical look up within the older written documents that had yet to be transferred into their version of a computer. Now he continued to translate the stories within the book. That’s what they were, stories. Each weapon had a story. No facts or statistics were t
