The Alpha's Slave Mate Chapter 17
JoelThe manor house was busier than I had ever seen it. Duncan had drafted in extra members of staff, and it seemed like they were everywhere.We were preparing for Casper’s 23rd birthday party which was being held here tonight.“Where should I put these?” Mark asked me. Yes, Mark was one of the extra pairs of hands that had been brought in for tonight. I was grateful to have him around today.Mark was holding some silver balloons. “Give them to Simon, over there.” I pointed.Simon was halfway up a ladder, cursing at the balloons that wouldn’t pin into place on the pillar.I chuckled to myself, and carried on preparing a huge bowl of punch. And yes, there was plenty of alcohol in it.I hadn’t seen Casper at all today. In fact, I’d barely seen him since the night Miss Hartley came to visit a couple of weeks ago. I shuddered a little at the memory. Luna had not left me alone all evening. I felt like she was a huge cat, and I was her toy mouse that she could bat around at will.I

Casper:I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling. I knew I should be up by now, but I figured that seen as it was my birthday yesterday, my dad would give me a little more time.I wasn’t hungover. Wolves didn’t really get hangovers. We did get dehydrated though and I had a slight headache because of it.I didn’t remember all of last night, although I remembered the majority of it. I remembered having fun, which was a nice change. It was probably the first time I had really let my hair down in a very long time. It was possible I had done a little damage with my fledgling relationship with Emily. I barely talked to her all evening. It wasn’t because I didn't like her company, but for one night I just wanted to forget about my responsibilities, and she was just a constant reminder of them.I hoped she would forgive me. I knew I would have some making up to do. Maybe I could send her a little something as an apology?Hmm, what would she like? I know what she’d like. She’d like my

Joel:I barely slept a wink last night. I stared at myself in the mirror and hardly recognised the face looking back at me. My skin looked pale, which seemed to highlight the massive bags under my eyes. My hair was a mess, but then again, that wasn’t unusual.I stepped out of the bathroom and ran right into my mum.“Oh Joel! You look terrible! Are you feeling ok?” she said, putting her hand on my forehead in the way that mothers always do when they think their child is sick.“Yeah I’m……” I paused as I suddenly saw the opportunity that had presented itself to me.“...I’m feeling a bit sick.” I said.“You get yourself back to bed,” my mum said. “I’ll give Duncan a call. There’s no way I’m letting you go to work in that condition,” she said before hurrying away.I smiled with relief, but quickly felt the guilt creeping in. I hated lying. Especially to my mum, but I suppose desperate times called for desperate measures, and I was definitely classing myself as desperate at the mome

Casper:Something was wrong.I paced up and down my room.Something was wrong, and I didn’t like it one bit.My Cub had never acted that way around me before. It was almost as if…. as if he was scared of me.Had I done something last night? Had I hurt him in some way?It seemed unlikely seen as though someone always seemed to be watching me, and no one had said anything about Joel being hurt.What if he was lying and he did get in trouble last night. I mean, it won’t have looked good for him, pelting his Alpha with cushions. Not that I minded in the least. After all, what harm would come to me from a few cushions? Plus, Joel combined with cushions brought back a rather nice memory…No, I couldn’t think about that now. I needed to know what was wrong with him.I walked out of my room, and headed downstairs to find Duncan.When I reached his office, I was surprised to find Joel’s two friends stood outside.They briefly looked at me in shock, then quickly lowered their heads.“Is D

Joel:There was a certain tenseness in the air.And for once it had nothing to do with me.The first guests had started to arrive and so everyone jumped into action.As much as I hated washing up, I longed to be there right now. Who’d have thought that I would want to watch my hands shrivel up like prunes while trying to scrub pebble dashed pans?Was it wrong that I wanted to trade places with those pans? That I wanted someone to scrub me clean and have the mess that was my life be washed down the plug hole?I could hear Lyla’s voice in my ear, telling me not to be so dramatic. But for once in my life, I felt that it was justified. Here I was, serving people who I mainly despised, while watching my mate, the potential love of my life, proclaim his undying love for another wolf. And all the while, knowing that with one touch of his hand, I could stop it all. But also knowing that with one touch of his hand I would ruin everything.Without realising it, I let out a huge sigh.“What’

Casper:I felt more than a little smug that my little Cub had managed to do so much damage to Archie’s beta. We may have been reforming our alliance with the Hartley pack, but it still felt good to get one over on them.Nathan was a fairly new recruit to the Huntley pack. He was not born into the pack, like most beta’s are. The previous beta had no offspring, so there was no natural replacement, and apparently none of the other wolves had met up to Archie’s standards.And then one day Nathan turned up. And Nathan was your perfect beta. He was very strong, fiercely loyal, and upheld every value that traditional wolf packs had.My dad had been quite jealous of Nathan. He often commented that he would make a better beta than Jamie.I disagreed. As good as Nathan was, he was a little too perfect for me. There was no spark to his personality. In fact, scratch that, there was no personality. I found his company incredibly dull.Once I’d straightened out Nathan’s nose (something else

Joel:“He fired me! The bastard actually fired me! For saving his ass! I can’t believe I even did that? And for what? The arrogant, stuck up, son of a..”“ME!” I shouted at Mark to stop his rant. “You did it for me, not Casper.”“Yeah, well I wish I hadn’t,” Mark grumbled.Mark sat down on the edge of my bed and fiddled with my phone charger cable, a scowl still on his face.He’d interrupted my nap, and I wasn’t happy. I would have told him off about it if it wasn’t for the fact I felt a little guilty. Ok, a lot guilty.You see, this job actually meant a lot to Mark. His mum was quite ill. Something happened to her a while ago and since then she suffered from anxiety and depression. There were weeks when she didn't even leave the house.His dad worked shifts as a nurse at the local hospital. He’s quite senior in his role, and the pay wasn’t too bad, but he often had to turn down shifts to look after his wife.I knew that Mark was giving most of the money he earnt at the mano

Casper:A rather manic sort of laughter filled the room, and it took me a couple of seconds to realise it was coming from me.I went back over to the sofa and flopped down on it.I couldn’t believe it. I would have never believed it. I never saw it coming.I finally stopped laughing and looked over to see Joel stood silently next to the couch.“The worst thing about this,” I said, wiping my eyes from all the laughter, “the worst thing, is that this time I can tell you’re not lying. You actually believe it.” I let out a sort of snorting noise, in an attempt to stifle the laughter that was threatening to spill out once again.I looked over at Joel. His eyes were locked onto me, giving off icy chills, and his arms were folded across his chest.“I never thought you would turn into one of those demented werewolves that would swear blind that they were my mate.”The scowl on Joel’s face deepened.“I’m not saying you are definitely my mate, I am saying you might be. And in case you hadn’

EmilyCole was avoiding me.He somehow managed to completely disappear on Saturday, despite me spending the best part of an hour looking for him.I had a sneaky feeling Annabell was helping him, as I saw her a couple of times with a mischievous grin on her face as she watched me walk by.From the little I had seen of him though, he looked like he was doing better. The black circles under his eyes had gone, and his smile looked real instead of forced, like it was last week.I just hoped that he was finally moving on.It wasn’t until Thursday that I realised I was missing something, when Casper asked,“How was Cole on Saturday?”I found the question odd, as Casper made it clear he didn’t want to be involved when I asked him to speak to Nathan last week.Casper was not one to pry into other people’s business. He was a very private person himself and so he didn’t enjoy those sort of conversations, and avoided them at all costs.“He was doing better, why do you ask?” I said, carefully ob
The Alpha's Slave Mate Chapter 51
NathanI ran down the stairs taking two at a time.It wasn’t that I was in a rush, it was just that I felt like I had so much energy to burn.I rounded the corner and nearly bumped straight into Emily.“Woah there tiger!” she said, holding her arms up in anticipation of an impact.I managed to holt just centimeters away from her hands.“Oops, sorry,” I said with a smile before stepping to the side to go around her.“Hang on a second,” she said, and I turned back to see a confused frown on her face.I raised my eyebrows slightly waiting for her to continue.She walked over and paced around me in a full circle, her eyes roving over me as if she was trying to work something out.I just watched her in amusement.“What’s got you in such a good mood?” she said, stopping in front of me, her head tipped slightly to one side.“The sun is shining, it’s a beautiful day, why wouldn’t I be in a good mood?” I replied, as I again stepped around her and headed into the kitchen to grab something to ea

ColeI made my way slowly to Highfield Hall. It had been 8 weeks since I had seen Nathan.I thought that over time, the pain of the rejection would go away, that it would hurt less. I was wrong. Every Saturday it seemed to be getting harder and harder to motivate myself to walk the short distance to the Hall.Sure, once I was there, I usually managed to lose myself in what I was there to do. But just going to the place, physically putting one foot in front of the other to go to the place that I first saw Nathan required so much effort that once I got there I was already exhausted.It didn’t help that I hadn’t slept properly in weeks.I walked in through the front gate, something I still managed to chuckle about, despite my mood, and walked over to where I saw James and Emily looking over our latest plans.“Hey Cole, how’s thi….woah you look rough, are you feeling ok?” Emily said, coming over to me and giving me the once over, before settling for looking directly into my eyes.“I’m

NathanIt had been exactly 6 weeks since I’d seen Cole. 6 long torturous weeks.It was Saturday again which meant only one thing. Cole would be coming to Highfield Hall later today.I hated Saturdays. I hated them so much. I basically spent the whole day pacing around my room, desperate to go out, desperate to be anywhere but staring at these four walls.But I couldn’t. Because I didn’t trust myself not to sneak a peek at him. You know, just to see if he was alright.But of course he was alright. There was barely a day that went by without someone mentioning his name. You see he turned out to be a bit of a whizz at this ecology stuff, and well, he sort of became James the gardener’s right hand man. And of course Annabell just worshiped the ground he walked on. Every sentence she said seemed to start with, ‘do you know what Cole said….’ or ‘do you know what me and Cole did…..’”It was torture. Pure torture. And to make it worse, I think they knew exactly what they were doing
The Alpha's Slave Mate Chapter 48
ColeI felt…….I don’t know.I suppose the only way to describe it would be numb.Did that really just happen? There was so much to think about that I didn't know what to start with.Maybe I should start with the fact that there are such things as werewolves!!That was…..amazing. I probably should be freaking out about that, but to be honest it was the only thing about tonight that made me feel in the least bit happy.For one, it made me realise that I wasn’t going mad. I knew there was something up with those dogs at the Hall, and I knew that I’d seen something odd when Percy bit that guy.But knowing that, knowing that they were werewolves made them…..well it made them less scary.I know that sounds stupid, but it really wasn’t in my mind. It made them different. It made them secretive, and less sure around people. It made them hide from the spotlight, and hide from being who they really wanted to be. It made them…..human?It made them more like me.I could feel the damp of t

NathanI banged angrily on the horn on my steering wheel.“FUCKING MOVE!!” I shouted at the taxi that had just decided to stop in the middle of the road.Some drunken tart with a skirt up her arse and heels the size of tower blocks tottered over to the taxi, throwing a middle finger in my direction before getting in.I drew in a deep breath through my nose. I couldn’t lose my temper. It might cause me to be delayed further.I still couldn’t believe it took me so long to see the text from Cole. I always had my phone on me, yet tonight for some reason i’d left it in my bedroom.On the one night he needed me.As I drove like a maniac down the road I tried to rationalise with my thoughtsWhat if he’s badly hurt?That’s unlikely. He did manage to send a text.Yes but what if something happened after he sent that text, afterall, it took you long enough to read it.He’s bound to be fine. And then I can yell at him for texting me when I specifically told him to only text about the project

ColeOne second Percy was next to me, the next he was gone, and the only clue I had as to where he had gone were the screams now coming from behind me.I slowly turned round and gaped at what I saw. In just a few seconds the whole room seemed to be full of brawling bodies. I saw fists flying, and heard glass smashing, and everywhere I looked I could see bruises and cuts appearing on people’s faces.I wanted to run. I needed to run. But something kept me rooted to the spot. I needed to know that Natalie and Percy were alright.I couldn’t see either of them in the chaos in front of me, but I knew I would have to move if I wanted to find them.Slowly I edged my way into the mass of bodies. Ducking a flying chair and leaping over a pair wrestling on the floor, I eventually spotted Natalie cowering behind an armchair.I quickly dove behind the chair next to her.“Come one, we need to get out of here,” I said.I turned to look at Natalie and I could see the tears beginning to fall down

Cole“P to the A to the R T Y - It’s PARTY TIME! Whoop Whooop!”I swear there was something medically wrong with her sometimes.“My god girl, you’ve not even had a drink yet!” I said to Natalie as we walked up the street where the party was being held.“That’s what you think,” she said with an overly exaggerated wink.“Oh man, I’m going to be carrying you out of here tonight, aren’t I?” I said with a groan.“Hey, just think of it as payback for last time,” she said with a mischievous glint in her eye.Ah, I guess she had a point there.I looked up at the house that was now infront of us. It was a large detached stone house, with a huge drive, lined by immaculately pruned conifer trees. I could never quite get my head around how people managed to have parties in homes like these. Where were the parents? Surely they couldn’t know what was going on. The damage alone from a party like this would probably cost hundreds if not thousands to put right.As if someone could read my mind, th

NathanI didn’t want to be here. Every fibre of my being was screaming at me to leave.Well, actually, that wasn’t quite true. My heart was screaming for me to stay, but every other part of me just wanted to get as far away as possible.I hated Ronan and his big idea. I knew Cole would be here. I just knew it. Why wouldn’t he listen to me?!The moment I entered into the lecture theatre I could sense him in the room. And before long, I caught his scent. That was the thing about mates. You became highly attuned to their scent meaning you could pick it out easily among a group of people, and from a distance too.God he smelled good. Like the forest just after a heavy downpour.I forced myself to breathe through my mouth to not be drawn in by it any further.I needed to look at the silver lining here. Ronan had said that if Cole got involved, I could pass the project onto someone else. And it’s not like I wanted to do this in the first place. Why would I want to have to make conve
