Sweet Little Mate 11: Luke
I sighed and knew I needed to tell Lila everything. Her wolf chose me, but I want her, the woman, to want to choose me as well. I have been watching Lila for weeks, and she is an incredible woman. She is strong, hard-working, kind, and gorgeous."I came to your town to find Gemma."Lila let out a gasp. "My mom?""Yes, I was supposed to be looking for her to see where she might have gone. My dad has been searching for her for years.""Well, I can help with that. My mom died during childbirth." Her voice is quiet, and it quivers as she holds back tears for a mom she never had the chance to know, and my heart aches for her, knowing her world is going to be turned upside down yet again."That's not exactly true. Me and the two men you saw me with at the diner, Jake and Donte, we've been looking into her. We also looked into it once we saw you at the diner." I looked at her, and she didn't seem surprised."Okay, what did you find out?" She bit her lip, a nervous gesture I guessed. If this

I feel as though I'm living in a movie. Nothing feels real right now. I want answers to my questions, and I'll take time to process them later."Well, your wolf bit me because she has chosen me to be her mate. What this means is that she has committed herself to me. It will be very difficult for you to leave me now. Your wolf will pull you toward me. There are a lot of things that come with being a wolf and being mated. Your wolf has linked you to me. I can feel your emotions." Did he seriously just say he can feel my emotions that can't be possible? He is miscommunication.I interrupted him, "Can you elaborate on the feeling my emotions bit?""Well, your wolf is tethered to me, so I can feel what you feel, but not quite to the same extreme because we aren't fully mated yet. My wolf hasn't bitten you yet. Once that happens, you'll be able to feel my emotions too and more." I can tell he's hesitant to tell me everything. So I just move on to my next questions."My wolf, Nova, can I get

I wake up to the most delicious scent and feel so content in this bed. As I start to wake up more, though, I feel something hard against my backside. That's when I remember where I am and who is behind me in this bed, and I know what I am feeling is Luke's erection pushed against me. I try to ease myself out of bed, but his arms are wrapped around me.I try to wriggle free, but to my dismay, I'm stuck, and I don't want to wake him, so instead, I find I can roll onto my back, and I turn my head to look at Luke and get a better look at him.Nova took this moment to purr. "I thought you were a wolf, not a house cat," I say flatly to her."Our mate is perfect, Lila. Just look at him." With that, she purrs again, and that's when I see Luke smirk.I move to shove his arm off of me with a huff."Well, hello there, my sweet little mate," Luke said in a sexy, gruff tone."How long have you been awake?" I demand. I tried to sound annoyed, but if I'm being honest, I haven't slept that well in pr

When I gave birth to my daughter, it was a very difficult experience. I remember it so clearly. Keith and I were so excited about meeting our little girl. We painted her nursery and picked out all her clothes.Keith knew I was a wolf and that he was my fated mate. I explained it all to him, and he was okay with everything. He was even excited when he was able to meet my wolf, Sky. We have been traveling a lot. Keith wanted to make sure we settled in a place where we would be safe, but he wasn't comfortable staying in my pack. He isn't a wolf, and it was too much for him. I was okay with this, though, as I would follow him anywhere.We had rented a little house in North Carolina. No packs were anywhere nearby, so we thought this would be the perfect place for us. Our little girl decided she wanted to come sooner than we expected, though. There were complications during birth, though. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue because pack doctors can help treat you. I couldn't go to a regular

After speaking with Betty and Luke together, I just felt exhausted. There is so much I have been through recently, and I think it's finally catching up with me on an emotional level. I tried to excuse myself back to my room, but Luke insisted I come back to what's called the pack house. That's the primary home for the pack. It's where the alpha lives, and Luke is the alpha.I tried to stay, stating I was hired to be with Betty, but she said I should go, and Luke stated he would send someone over to be with Betty. Betty, being his grandmother and knowing we were mates, helped convince her I should be with him. I don't think I'm ready to live with some man I just met though. He must have seen the hesitation on my face because he said I could stay in the room across from his but that it made him more comfortable to know where I was and know that I was safe.I was too tired to argue, and so here we are, in the most massive home I have ever seen in person. Luke said he needed to check in o

It felt like I had just fallen asleep when I was woken up by knocking on my door. Without waiting for my answer, Luke came into the room. I guess I should be happy I sleep clothed. Who walks into someone's room without waiting for a reply? What if I was changing? I shrug it off, though I mean I am in his house."Umm, Lila," Luke says, running his hand through his blonde hair. "I have a couple of questions." He says, almost sounding embarrassed."Okay.""Most rogue wolves smell like rogues. I know that doesn't make sense to you, but they have almost a sour scent to them. You though, you don't have the smell. I thought maybe it was because of your mate, but I asked Donte as he's the one who showed you to your room yesterday, and my grandma didn't smell it either. Can you ask your wolf why?"I asked Nova and shared her answer with Luke. "We don't have what you would call a traditional pack, but we do have a pack.""Does it have a name?""We are the Luna of the misfits, the lost, the brok

We went back outside, and all the wolves I had accepted as my pack were in front of the Alpha house, along with most of Luke's pack now. Luke comes to meet me at the top of the stairs off of the front porch, which is a stunning wrap-around porch. He takes my hand, and we step forward together, looking out onto all of these people and some people in their wolf forms."Hi, everyone. Thank you for all coming here." Luke is beaming, his eyes crinkling at the edges, unable to hide the pure joy that radiates from him. I can feel his happiness surging through me. I'm sure he can feel my reluctance, fear, and anxiety running through him as well."I have found my mate, your Luna. This is Lila." Luke looks down at me with a softness in his expression, and my insides tremble with anxiety, still not sure if I am fully aware of everything that is happening. Luke is gorgeous, though, as I can't help but take him in at that moment. He has a squared jaw, broad shoulders, a golden tan, and a five o'cl

Stephanie comes into the office. "Please, Steven, let me tell Lila." Stephanie sits on the other chair and fidgets with the necklace on her collarbone. Steven nodded in return and took her other hand in his, squeezing it in a way to offer reassurance to his mate."Your mother left right after telling Stephanie she was pregnant with you. She had already married your father even though everyone had begged her not to. There was just something about him that didn't feel right to me. He was sweet to her but would make remarks anytime she left the room. He scared me if I'm being honest." Stephanie lets out a sob in her voice but takes a breath and continues."Gemma wasn't willing to listen, though she said I just didn't want her to be happy. I was just jealous because Keith was so amazing. She wouldn't see logic. She knows as well as any of us that you must have a wolf to have a mate. Your father has no wolf and therefore couldn't be her mate. She said her wolf was different, and its mate w

Sweet Little Mate 50: Lila
I don't think I have ever been so furious as when I saw my father taking my son. The rage that coursed through my vends was like nothing I had ever felt before. My dad could hurt me. I'll deal with it, but no one, and I mean absolutely no one, will hurt Ezra again as long as I am breathing. My son has been through more than enough already.As I screamed for Luke, I charged at my dad. I saw his eyes widen in fear. He only knows the old me, the docile daughter he raised, the girl who catered to him, and all of his stupid demands. I'm not that same girl anymore. I have been training with Donte and gained a confidence that I didn't know was possible.As I could close the door, he pushed through it. I was mere seconds behind them, flying through the door in pursuit of my son, willing to do anything needed to keep me safe. As I came out the door, I saw Chelsea and Brendon. Brendon was at the back of a van, holding the door open, and Chelsea was in the driver's seat.I wasn't surprised my dad
Sweet Little Mate 49: Lila
I am beyond excited to be going home to our pack today. It feels like we've been away for a lifetime. I know Ezra will be happy to be back home, too. Unfortunately, we couldn't bring many toys, and he's bored. The new pack members have already started training and are settling in well. One of the first things we will do is announce that I will be selecting a Beta and Gamma. We are opening up a trail of sorts to see who is interested and would be best in these roles. The two things I am most excited about, though, are planning Ezra's birthday, which is in just a few weeks, and telling Luke I'm pregnant. We haven't talked about children yet, and there hasn't been time. With everything happening, we may not have planned to have a baby right now, but we haven't done anything to prevent it. I have ordered a cute shirt for Ezra that says - Currently Training For My New Position: Big Brother. I plan to get him ready for the day and put on a zip-up sweater over the shirt. I will take Luke an
Sweet Little Mate 48: Luke
"Hmm... Did you believe everything Margot said?" I asked Lila while kissing her neck just below her ear. We were lying in bed, discussing her private conversation with Margot. A less confident alpha might be upset that Luna snapped it in front of others and ran off to speak privately, though I love my mate's confidence. I find myself being proud of Lila and her fierce determination."I do believe her. She told me her story, and it was devastating. She also shared a lot about Hudson. If I'm honest, he sounds like a bit of a creep. He gave her drugs for s*xual favors. It's gross to think my brother is willing to do that to someone who uses someone's weakness for his self-satisfaction. I also learned it's really Gemma who is in charge of everything. People are terrified of her. I don't really know why they are all following her orders." Lila was deep in thought over this information. Her face is furrowed in concentration as she tries to work through her thoughts."Hudson is a creep, and
Sweet Little Mate 47: Lila
Donte called Luke and me to update us on Margot. I can not believe she is his mate. She is struggling, though, and needs to get clean, so Donte took her to Sedona Sky Recovery. It is a drug rehab center for shifters. I don't know if getting sober is different for sifters than it is for humans. They have only been at the facility for a few weeks, which seems fast, but they should be meeting us tonight at the Red Oak Pack in Oregon. I made a mental note to ask Luke about this later.Donte did read the note Hudson wrote me, though. Margot contacted one of the people she knew who also went back and forth getting Wolfsbane from Gemma. I am sending my brother a letter that simply contains a cell phone number. It's a burner phone. Jake didn't want me to give him my real number; he didn't want someone tracking me or hacking into my regular phone, so this is one I could toss if needed. I'm hoping to hear from him any day now.Later that night, after dinner, Luke and I laid Ezra down for bed, a
Sweet Little Mate 46: Margot
This chapter contains Margot's story. It can be triggering. Read with caution. If you are in the U.S. and have been a victim of sexual assault, help is available through the National Sexual Assault Hotline. 1-800-656-4673 I'm sorry, I don't know the resources available in other locations. I didn't have the money to get a hotel to sleep at. I could have shifted and slept in the woods, but I learned my lesson long ago that it is not safe for women to be alone in the woods, even in wolf form. There are plenty of rogue wolves who look for females, and that is why I ended up sleeping on a park bench. The last thing I expected was to be woken up by my mate. Mate? I didn't think I would ever find a mate. I am broken and have been for a very long time. My cousin knows I'm an addict. She doesn't know how I ended up this way, though, and I will never tell her. We weren't close and never have been. When I was ten, my dad passed away, protecting the pack. When someone loses their mate once bo
Sweet Little Mate 45: Donte
We have been to five packs so far, and four of them are taking the information seriously and have agreed to stand by us. Today, we are on our way to a pack in California. The travel locations are sporadic based on who agrees to see us. I can't say I'm upset that in just another three hours, we will be at the Chimariko pack, and we plan to stay for a couple of days, so if anyone needs me, they'll have to come find me at the beach. I'm in the driver's seat of the large eight-passenger SUV. Luke is sitting next to me in the passengers seat. Lila and Ezra are in the back seat, and we are followed by two other SUV's. When I heard Lila's phone ring, she was a little on edge lately. I can tell it is Abigail on the phone based on the excitement and hesitation I see on her face when I look into the rearview mirror. I know she's been waiting to her back from her brother or at least hoping to hear from him. I heard Lila's side of the conversation. "Really?! That's great news." "Yeah, I just c
Sweet Little Mate 44: Hudson
Please, before you read this chapter, mention sexual assault with a very brief flashback. The scene is brief and doesn't go into terrible detail, but this can be triggering, and I want to ensure you know you can skip to the second paragraph and avoid this scene.I am sitting in my room reading the letter that the dumb sl*t brought me. Margot told me about the letter as she was kneeling in front of me; that girl would do absolutely anything for her next fix. It's hard for me to say no when she offers herself. She is beautiful with dark brown hair and mocha skin. I know many wolves wait to have sex until they meet their mate out of respect because our wolves are so jealous. I thought I would wait, but mom sent two girls, well, two women, to my room when I was thirteen. I tried to hold out against the temptation, but mom fed me a little blue pill after one of the women went back out to tell her I wasn't performing, and now look at me handing out drugs to get my d*ck wet.The letter Margo
Sweet Little Mate 43: Lila
The room Ray and Abigail let us stay in was gorgeous. It's different from my personal taste, but you can't deny the beauty. The room had three white walls, and the one that paralleled the foot of the bed was a dark navy blue. The furniture was all white. A four-post canopy bed was a feature of the room. The fabric draped on it was a sheer, almost silk-like tulle that was also navy but so sheer you only see that dark navy where it bunches together. A small living space hosted a white rocking chair, a love chair, and a coffee table. On the coffee table was a clear vase filled with blue flowers, cornflowers, and white roses. There was a stack of three books and a stationary set with a pen. On the stationary sat a small note-card. Lila, I thought you might need this. -Abigail My breath caught at Abigail's kindness. The fact that she sent this to the room for me meant so much. Luke read the note over my shoulder, kissing and nibbling along my neck and collarbone. A shiver went through m
Sweet Little Mate 42: Lila
As Luke finished telling Ray and Abigail all that had happened up until now, Ray turned to look at me."I am so sorry you have had to go through all of this." I could hear the pity in his voice, and I despised that. I haven't had the best of luck times, but I don't need anyone's pity. I have a beautiful life, even if it is unconventional. I have an amazing husband and the most beautiful son. I am nothing if not blessed in the family I have found. I sat up straighter and squared my shoulders."Alpha Ray, I am so grateful you are hosting us, but I don't need your pity. I need your help. As Luke said, we are building an army. I want you as an ally because what Gemma is doing won't just affect our pack. Gemma may be the woman who birthed me, but she is not my mother. She is a cancer, and she will spread her vile poison if not dealt with soon." I pick up the water before me and take a long drink, hoping to swallow back any emotion that may try to break through."I don't pity you. I apologi
