Harper didn't even feel remotely safe when she went to bed. The ballroom was filled with corpses. Asher had told her they would look through them the next day. For now, Harper needed rest.

Guards stood outside her room, and a few werewolves slept underneath her locked balcony. Harper knew Liam's men would have trouble getting to her, yet it was the future that she feared.

Somehow the Sun pack combined with the Moon pack had managed to take out the Comet pack. But the victory hadn't come for free. Plenty of pack members had died.

What frightened Harper was that she knew Liam had way more men. She couldn't help but feel like this had been a test to see how well her pack could defend themselves.

Liam and the Comet pack would strike again. Thinking about it sent a cold shiver down her spine. Harper feared her pack would be slaughtered without her father as the alpha.

Dread churned inside her stomach, and she pulled her blanket tighter around her shoulders. Harper couldn't sleep. Her hear

  • Taming My Mate   Chapter 17

    "Oh... I'm..." Harper's head was spinning, and had this been an anime series, there would be blood coming down her nose. "I'm sorry... I shouldn't be touching you, but here I am... And I'm... Shit... What am I even saying?"Saint snorted, seemingly massively amused. "You have a way with words."Harper blushed.Underneath her sweaty hands was a man that looked like sex served on a platter. Why did Saint have to look like such a grownup?! Harper couldn't fathom this was her mate.Saint's muscular arms were parked underneath his head, and he silently studied Harper in amusement. Her hands were unconsciously squeezing his pecs, something which he liked. "This is so embarrassing," Harper said. "I don't know what to do.""What do you want to do?""Well..." Harper nervously laughed. "I like touching you...""You do, huh?""Yes..."Blood heated inside Saint's veins. It grew worse the longer he peered up at his mate. Possessiveness stormed him when the air filled with the scent of Harper's ar

    Saint woke up the following day with a smile. He had slept like a rock, but the happiness came from who rested on his chest. A hand squeezed his pectoral muscle, and he shook his head."A pervert even when you're sleeping..." Amusement washed over Saint's features as he spoke. "Who would have known?"His eyes landed on his cute mate once more.Harper had suffered some kind of nightmare in the middle of the night. The mate-bond had made her unconsciously seek comfort, and now she was with her mate. Saint's heart swelled because it meant that Harper, deep down, felt the safest when he was around."You're adorable..." Saint stroked Harper's back. She was tiny compared to him and was busy drooling over his skin. Not that Saint cared. He had never seen anything more adorable in his life."Saint..."He tilted his head. Had Harper spoken in her sleep?Probably. It didn't matter that his mate was sleeping. It was way too early to be waking up.Saint was about to close his eyes again but groa

    "Asher is so strong and fast on the battlefield," Harper spoke animatedly as she tried to re-enact what had happened during the practice. Saint was watching her. "He took the other werewolf's foot, spun it around, and blocked their next attack by doing this!"Harper stood in a weird position. One leg up in the air and her arms in a ready-to-punch stance. Her body was hanging in the air, and she barely kept her balance."Did he?" Saint asked from the couch. He had been in a bad mood ever since he was ditched at breakfast. The tension could be felt in the air, but Harper had no clue why Saint was so crabby this evening. He had barely said a word all day, yet there was something hot and hungry in his gaze.It made Harper shudder every time she faced Saint. Even though she had asked for time to think about what she wanted, there was no denying their chemistry.Harper always felt exposed when Saint looked at her. She would still and barely dare to breathe. Saint always drank in the view o

    The entire Sun pack stood in silence as Saint and Asher faced each other on the football field. The future outcome of their battle was uncertain. At least Harper did not know who would win. She glanced between the men. Asher was cracking his shoulders. His eyes were narrowed, and his entire expression screamed of darkness and a thirst for violence.Asher embodied what a perfect werewolf male was supposed to look like. His shoulders were broad and tanned, and his brown eyes held no mercy as he studied his competition. The beta was built like a tank—no wonder all the females wanted him. Harper worried about her mate.With concern building up within her, Harper glanced at Saint. The nymph was the opposite of Asher. He radiated an inner calm, and his lips were caught in a cruel smirk. He was muscular too but built less like a tank. Saint was lean and athletic with an eight-pack he wore with silent pride."You're going down," Asher said in a bitter voice. He looked Saint up and down with

    Frustration was threatening to choke Harper at night. Stress was creeping over her skin, and darkness clouded her senses. She didn't understand how Saint could be so calm. "I have to be battle-ready within a week," Harper's voice was filled with her inner frustration. "Why aren't we training right now, Saint?! You should be teaching me moves!"Saint calmly took off his tie with his gaze kept on the floor. Harper studied Saint's fingers stroke over the satin tie. He had sexy hands, big and manly with veins. The kind that would look even nicer with an expensive watch sitting on his arm."Harper, your father just died," Saint lifted his emerald gaze to hers. There was a dept to his eyes that made her dizzy. "You should go and see your friends in the human realm tomorrow. Let yourself cry and feel the hurt you're trying to pretend isn't there."Her heart clenched. "I'm fine.""You're hurting.""No," Harper waved off Saint's words. "I'm fine, and what I need to do is step up as alpha and

    Harper's eyelids squeezed shut. Her arms were tied by magical vines, and Saint's weight pinned her down to the mattress. Euphoria overwhelmed her. The muscles in Saint's arms were on full display. Ripped and sexy.It probably shouldn't be possible, but Harper's arousal grew stronger. She was so damn wet for her mate."I want you," Saint kissed her neck before pressing his lips to her skin. His warm tongue licked her and lapped up the salt. It was erotic. "Do you even know how beautiful you are? Sexy, gorgeous, and all mine."His giant hands caressed Harper's breast and tortured her by not giving her what she wanted; his fat cock.There were kisses.Bites.Sucking. And it was all torture!"Saint..." Harper moaned. "I can't take it anymore!"Saint knew what Harper meant. Their desire was shared through the mate-bond, more intense than ever. They needed each other, and Saint bent his head."You will soon have everything I have to give."Harper bit her bottom lip. "Except for the mark."

    "I don't understand why we are going to the human world," Harper frowned at Saint. "We have much more important things to do! You should train me!" "We will have time to train later." "When?" "Later." Harper growled, and Saint bit back a laugh. According to Harper, they looked funny standing next to each other. She was wearing washed-out jeans and a leather jacket, while her mate was wearing a luxurious black suit. Compared to Saint, Harper deemed she looked like a child. Saint towered above her and seemed to be in his later twenties, while Harper judged herself to have childish features. It wouldn't surprise Harper if women in the human realm flirted with Saint and disregarded her as his little sister. The ugly duckling that didn't inherit any sexy genes. She was prepared for the worst. "I think seeing your friends is important," Saint said and grimaced as if thinking about something unpleasant. "But I'm reluctant about following you to the human realm..." Harper lifted a

  • Taming My Mate   Chapter 24

    Harper and her best friends sat inside a luxurious Italian restaurant and stared at Saint as he ordered their food. Tanja and Frida seemed immune to Saint's pheromones, and Harper wondered if they had supernatural mates of their own. Not that she had time to think about that right now.No, not when all the women working inside the restaurant had their eyes on Saint. The owner was especially fond of him and had offered to serve their food for free. That's why they were here.Harper sharpened her ears to listen to the woman working the cash register. She was batting her eyelashes at Saint. "Say, how about you and I get away from here? You're just so gorgeous, and I would love to see what is under your suit."A tsunami of jealousy washed over Harper. The brunette working the cash register had big breasts and wavy, shiny hair. Her skin was a rich brown, and her makeup was on the spot. She was gorgeous—there was no way Saint would say no to her offer."I just want the food," Saint said co

  • Taming My Mate   Chapter 44 - The End

    Epilogue Years Later Harper sat on the balcony, watching her and Saint's daughter, Caroline, playing in the big garden. She was laughing while their golden retriever chased her around a rose bush. "You can't catch me, Bobby! You're too slow!" BARK BARK!! A smile curled Harper's lips as she listened to Caroline's giggles. Her floral dress was dancing in the winds. And Bobby, the golden retriever, was trying his hardest to get to her. Life was great. Mating with Saint hadn't made Harper into an eternal creature. She wasn't immortal but had remained the same. Instead, finishing the mating ritual had bound Saint's life to hers, and they would die together. It meant Saint could finally rest the day Harper died of old age, which made him happy since he didn't want to keep living on forever without his beloved mate. "So it's here you're sitting all by yourself? Where is my invitation, huh?" Harper looked up, meeting Saint's brilliant smile. Now looking younger than her, Saint wa

  • Taming My Mate   Chapter 43

    It should have felt awkward that Saint had come out of nowhere and plowed his way back into Harper's life. But it didn't. Even if they had spent months apart, all the feelings remained intact. The mate-bond sizzled between them as Saint pushed open the doors to the castle. No one else was awake, but the nymph made sure to shape-shift back into his more humane self. Harper was still caught in his beefy arms. She looked up into her mate's eyes and blushed. And even though she enjoyed the closeness, she wet her lips and forced herself to say, "You can put me down. I can walk up the stairs myself." "What if I don't want to?" Saint shot back with a smirk. "What if I want to keep you tucked safely in my arms and never let you go?" The playfulness in his eyes made little knots spread over her skin. Bees and butterflies buzzed in her belly. She hadn't seen Saint in forever. It made her weaker than usual to his silent charm. And her last resistance broke as she reached out her hand to

  • Taming My Mate   Chapter 42

    Harper was on a mission. She knew that the feeling of something calling her hadn't been imaginary. Whatever was out there on that icy lake had spoken to her soul and reached into her heart. Therefore, she threw on her clothes in the dark and snuck down the stairs while holding a lantern. Her mittens warmed her hands, her earmuffs covered her ears, and she wore a bomber jacket—Harper was ready. She carefully opened the door, hoping no one would hear her leave the castle behind. Tanja thought she was crazy, as did the rest of her friends. They thought losing her mate had driven Harper mad; maybe they were right, but Harper needed to get out there on the lake. The reason was that Harper believed in miracles. She was pregnant with Saint's child, which proved that blessings were real. Saint had told her nymphs couldn't have children, but here she was. Perhaps more incredible things could happen?Harper didn't know, but she had hope. It gave her the strength to walk through the sno

  • Taming My Mate   Chapter 41

    HarperSix Months Later"Dear Saint," Harper leaned against the big tree Saint had become after the battle six months ago. "As you may know, I'm pregnant. The baby belongs to you, and sometimes when I sit here, I want to bawl my eyes out... Why did you have to go?"With quivering lips, Harper wiped away tears with her mittens. "I know it's a horrible thing to ask for... But sometimes... Sometimes I wish I could be where you are... I know I'm pregnant, and while I love our baby, I'm... I'm unsure how to do this on my own... How am I supposed to handle parenthood on my own?"Harper's eyes traveled to where Tanya and Jack were making snow angels, and then she blinked at Frida and Asher standing further away. Everyone seemed to have found their happiness. Everyone except Harper because she had lost it. She had lost Saint. And the pain was constant. It didn't come in waves. No. The grief made her want to constantly cry. Even now, Harper fought her tears. She was all alone and didn't

    Saint was deathly tired. He had used most of the magic flowing through him, and enemies were still coming in. He needed to recover, but there wasn't time. Harper was carrying him on her back but was tackled by another werewolf. She whimpered, and Saint flew down in the grass.It hurt as he bounced into a bush, and he coughed. Jack was screeching above them in his wyvern-form, blasting wolves with ice, but more and more enemies were appearing. There wasn't an end to them. So many packs wanted only one thing: get to the portal underneath the castle. They were fighting to the last breath to reach it, and Saint widened his eyes upon seeing Harper scream."No, get off me! You fucking cunt! Ouch, you bit me! Let go!" Harper was no longer in her wolf form. She had turned back to a human from exhaustion and punched at werewolves trying to murder her. Her legs kicked and flared, and blood splattered over the grass.This was bad.This was so fucking bad.Further away, Asher was being torn a

    Jack couldn't relax, and his heart wouldn't stop pounding. The mate he claimed he didn't want, Tanja, was out conjuring up spells to throw at the werewolves attacking the castle. She was screaming and fighting, doing everything to eliminate the enemy. A sight to behold and watch.Jack worried about her, but he was supposed to protect the alpha he worked for. Liam was supposed to be his mission, not Tanja.Yet his eyes kept steering back to Tanja as she defeated werewolf after werewolf. His little witch was terrific to watch. Her hair swept around her face, and her eyes doe-eyes were huge with battle spirit. Looking at her made Jack's heart clamor.He had opened up to Tanja and told her about Clara. And Tanja? His mate had been hanging on his every word. She had listened to him so patiently that he experienced flutters simply breathing the same air as her.Tanja was amazing.But Jack could tell she was growing tired. The last couple of spells had been sloppy. Tanja's legs weren't

    It was nothing short of frightening to wake up to snarling werewolves. Harper opened her eyes in haste and blinked up at Saint. She was in his arms, cradled to his chest while roots grew from his legs.His skin had taken a more greenish gue, and his eyes were eerie black while he hissed at the werewolves surrounding them. His voice came out loud and melodic, like a singing siren. But Harper knew it was a warning to the wolves. His legs had turned into tree trunks, and some of the roots came up from the ground to grab two werewolves coming for them. Whimpers filled the air as Saint's roots and vines curled around them. It was frightening to watch. Harper shuddered as the werewolves were hit against the ground multiple times until they no longer moved."I'm sorry you have to witness this," Saint told Harper, tightening his grip around her. "But it seems the castle is about to get attacked by some unknown pack. Some of the werewolves are headed there, while others are here in the woo

  • Taming My Mate   Chapter 37

    Harper was excited about her training with Saint. She was waiting for him in the garden outside the castle. The flowers were dancing around her feet in the wind. There were only a few clouds in the sky—the perfect weather conditions. "Nice to see that you're in time."Harper turned around to the sound of Saint's voice. He hadn't spent the night with her because he claimed he wouldn't be able to keep his hands to himself. But when Harper's eyes landed on his toned body, she was suddenly the only one wondering how to focus. Saint waltzed toward her, wearing only a pair of tight grey sweatpants that hugged his bubble butt and showcased his v-lines. Tanned skin, abs, and a confident smirk—Harper was already close to experiencing withdrawal symptoms. She wanted to touch him!"Harper?"Saint gave her a questioning look when Harper repeatedly blinked, and she plastered on a smile. "Yes?"He bit back a laugh. "Did you listen to me?""Uh..." She blushed. "Not really.""Because what I said

    When Saint arrived at the sunset island, Harper laughed so much that she fell off her mate's head. "I can't believe you accidentally swallowed a freaking seagull!"Saint caught Harper in his palm while desperately grasping for air. His eyes were red from tears, and he could barely breathe. It felt like there were feathers in his throat. And the cherry on top was that the freaking seagull hadn't been tasty either—Saint was confident the bird had been so scared it had shat itself when he ate it!"I think I'm going to be sick..." Saint pulled himself up on the sandy beach and made sounds that reminded Harper of a puking dog. "I hate my life, Harper... The seagull tasted like... Tasted like shit!"Harper cracked up and rolled off Saint's palm into the warm sand. Her rib cage hurt from laughing so much. "You're such a scary-looking guy, but really such a goofball!""Don't laugh at me..." Saint transformed back into his original, tanned self and coughed up a feather. He grimaced. "I need s
