The Unclaimed Mate Seventy-Five
Seventy-fiveCameronAthena had made up her mind, and it showed in her eyes. Her certainty was cold and unshakable. It had been five years but I could read her like a book. That familiar look of hers, the one she wore when she’d already decided there was no going back, was the same look she gave when she was determined to win an argument, the one that said, I’m right, and you’re wasting your breath trying to convince me otherwise. Except this time, it wasn’t about something trivial. This time, she was dead serious about rejecting our bond.The thought of rejection suffocated me. Did she seriously think this was easy? Did she believe she could just toss away our bond like it was nothing? Like we hadn’t been bound together by forces we couldn’t control? Wasn’t she feeling the same gut-wrenching, soul-crushing agony I was? Or was this just some sick game to her—a way to prove that she could out-stubborn fate itself?I knew Athena could be headstrong—hell, stubborn might as well be her mi

AthenaI knew my actions had driven Cameron away, and maybe there was no fixing the mess I’d made. But what other choice did I have? The sadness was a constant, sharp ache swirling inside me. Also, conflict raged in my mind. Had I made the right call? Why the hell was I the only one carrying the weight of his safety?Shouldn’t he give a damn too? He was the one in danger if we stayed together, not me. Yet here I was, feeling like the entire burden was strapped to my back.And for what? Because I loved him? Maybe that’s what love demanded—being selfless, sacrificing what I wanted for the sake of someone else. But damn it, how much sacrifice was enough?Love wasn’t supposed to mean breaking yourself down, piece by piece, until there was nothing left. Yet, here I was, trying to convince myself that letting him go was the noble thing to do. Was it really love, or just fear? I loved him too much to watch him die. Or maybe I was just too damn scared to face the possibility. That was the

A/N: I'm so sorry for the mixup in chapters 75 and 76. It has been corrected but will take a day or two for it to take effect. Athena The days blurred into one miserable, suffocating haze and dragged me deeper into the pit of despair. Every morning felt darker and heavier than the last, as if the sun had lost interest in shining on me altogether. Most of the time, I just curled up under my sheets, the curtains pulled tight as though I could block out the world and all the reminders of what I’d lost. Talking to anyone? Forget it. Unless they had a direct hotline to the Goddess herself, they could all stay the hell away from me.I had one focus—finding a way out of this mess, a way to get some divine intervention that might save both Cameron and me. If I wasn’t curled up in bed, spiraling into dark thoughts, I was glued to my computer screen and desperately researching anything at all, that might connect me with the Goddess.I combed through ancient texts, blogs, even random consp

Cameron I tried to keep things normal, but it was damn hard with the rejection ceremony looming over me like a storm cloud. No matter how much I tried to focus on Barbara, who carried my child, my mind kept circling back to Athena. Barbara, always a pest, insisted I drive her to the clinic for her weekly checkup. I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that I was going to be a father. It should’ve brought happiness, but instead, breaking the bond with Athena weighed heavier on me than anything else. “You keep frowning,” Barbara said with a lazy tone. “And you better stop with the road rage. I’m too young to die.” I clenched my jaw and hissed under my breath, gripping the steering wheel tighter. I couldn’t wait for this to be over, just to get some damn peace. Barbara, realizing I wasn’t in the mood to answer, tried a different tactic.“Have you thought of any names for our baby?” she asked, popping open a bag of chips.I fought the urge to roll my eyes. How could she expect

AthenaTonight marked the full moon, the night of the rejection ceremony with Cameron. The thought alone felt like swallowing glass—jagged and brutal, cutting away any shred of comfort I had left.No joy hid in the shadows of this night. Only a thick, crushing hopelessness pressed on me, making every bone feel unstable and every step heavier. My whole body trembled like I was walking straight toward my own death.So, this was real.My parents stood nearby, watching me with faces heavy with sorrow, knowing full well the pain this ceremony would leave behind. Their eyes mirrored my pain and they knew that what we’d come here to do would shatter me and change me in ways I wasn’t prepared for. My mom's hand lingered on my shoulder.I wore a simple white dress—loose, in soft cotton, with embroidery around the bust. It felt like a mockery, this innocent white garment, as if dressing me like a sacrificial lamb somehow made this easier.With every step toward the clearing where my pack waite

AthenaSeeing Cameron here crushed me, like my heart had been wrung out and left to dry. He had actually shown up, and we were really going to go through with this bond-breaking ceremony. He stepped forward, and the drums faded, leaving only hushed whispers from the crowd.“Oh my God, he’s here,” Mia murmured in despair. “You two are really going to do this?” Her eyes brimmed with unshed tears, as if pleading with me to reconsider. Her gaze cut right through me, screaming that this was a massive mistake. Of course, I knew that, deep down. But what choice did I have? What other path was left?Cameron kept walking closer, each step as heavy as a stone dropping in my chest. He stopped in front of me, his presence cold and distant. His father, the king, stood nearby, watching without expression.“Let’s get this over with,” he said, voice devoid of any warmth. I’d never seen him like this—no trace of pain or sadness, just a cold, flat look in his eyes, like he’d shut down completely.“I

Athena “You’re so delicious my love,” Cameron said as he took off my bra and then proceeded to lick down the length of my neck and nipped at my shoulder with his teeth.“Did you know the torture I went through staying away from you?” he mumbled against my skin.His breath was hot on my neck, sending a shiver through my body. He nibbled on one of my nipples gently, pulling slightly on it His delicious touch made me want to squeal with delight and giggle hysterically. He continued undressing me until I was completely nude before he gently lifted me onto the bed, positioning himself on top of me.His shaft teased my entrance, rubbing without entering and I groaned, making him laugh. “I'm dripping wet for you,” I managed to say. He kissed me passionately and his tongue flicked along mine, exploring every inch of my mouth greedily.He was like a wild animal, taking me. Ravenous for more of my body, making me moan and arch into him in pleasure.Our tongues danced together and his soft moa

AthenaCameron and I had slipped into this easy, almost annoyingly perfect rhythm as we’d magically cleared every problem. We hadn’t officially moved in because I clung to my space, but let’s not kid ourselves—we lived together. Our closets looked like they’d merged in some weird domestic experiment, with his shirts tangled up with mine and shoes scattered together like we’d been cohabiting forever. I even bought matching coffee mugs and double bathroom essentials for us.Nights blurred together, filled with board games, wine, and that cozy comfort of two lovers loving each other. Cameron had this stash of rare vinyl, and he’d throw one on, pulling me into spontaneous dances in my living room. Just us and the music, lost in the moment. And let’s not get started on the love notes he stuck on the fridge. Each one was a cheesy line that somehow worked, my daily dose of warmth that reminded me how much he cared. I’d find myself grinning like a fool at the lingering scent of his cologne

The Unclaimed Mate Ninety-Six
Her gaze turned icy, and a dangerous silence filled the space. She raised a hand, and one of the beings beside her started to protest, “This insolent mortal—”But the goddess silenced him with a mere flick of her wrist. She looked down at me, her gaze both fierce and intrigued, as if my words had stung her pride yet piqued her interest. For a moment, I thought she might strike me down right there, but instead, she leaned back and tilted her head.Then, to my utter shock, she softened her tone, almost mockingly, and said, “Come.”I blinked, barely able to believe what I was hearing. But I moved closer, though not daring to get too close to her throne. She extended a pale hand toward the water in front of her, and I felt my chest tighten as an image began to form within its depths. As I peered closer, my breath caught. There, in the water, was Cameron. He was awake, sitting up, though his body looked weak. I watched him clench his fists as if searching, hoping for something. For me.

AthenaFear gripped me as I took in the surroundings. Asking to see the goddess felt like signing up for a death sentence. No matter how dazzling this place looked, I wasn’t prepared to die.Not yet. I couldn't stand the thought of staying here without saying a proper goodbye to everyone who mattered to me. My mom, who had always loved me unconditionally, who did everything to keep me happy and supported me even when my choices went against the grain. If it weren't for my dad, she might have even encouraged me to stay with Cameron, consequences be damned. And then my dad, the fierce protector, who never once made me feel less than for being a hybrid daughter to an alpha. He kept my secret, shielded me, loved me as I was. I couldn’t leave without seeing him one last time.And Caleb, my brother, who I’d grown up with, spending days running wild on wings and horseback. I'd promised I’d be godmother to his future children. Leaving him felt like betraying that vow. But most of all, I

CameronI woke to the scratchy roughness of an old quilt draped over me and confusion clouded my mind. The fabric felt worn against my skin, and when I opened my eyes, I struggled to understand where the hell I was. This place made no sense. It was different from the world I was used to. it was dark, cramped, and unfamiliar, with a ceiling so low it felt like it was closing in on me. Claustrophobia clawed at my chest, and when I tried to sit up, dizziness washed over me. My body screamed in raw, unfiltered pain. Cuts and bruises marked every inch of my arms and hands. How did I end up here? And where exactly was "here"?There was an armless cot pressing uncomfortably against my chest, and my lips tasted like they’d been coated in bitter herbs. The scent of burning sage lingered thick in the air. Just then, the door creaked open, and my dad walked in. At first, he didn’t notice I was awake, but when he saw my eyes open, he let out a startled yelp and rushed over, his look was a mixt

93AthenaWhen I opened my eyes, grogginess clung to me. I couldn't move, but my silence was soon replaced by utter confusion. I couldn’t make sense of where I was. This place was beyond anything words could capture. Unnatural and unsettling silence wrapped around me like a thick blanket, pressing in from all sides. The earth I knew never held silence like this, never without the hum of life, the rustle of leaves, or distant calls of creatures.Here, there wasn’t a trace of an animal or human. Every object around me pulsed, as though it had a soul, especially the light that seemed soft but somehow divine, illuminating without blinding. Colors blazed from every direction, vibrant beyond any spectrum I’d ever seen, and far surpassing the limits of human sight.“What the hell?” I muttered, barely recognizing my own voice.The stillness was overwhelming. My eyes scanned the endless expanse until they landed on a huge mountain ahead that reached toward the sky. Its slopes gleamed with p

Athena I sprinted through the forest. Its twisted shadows closed in, each one feeling like it had a pulse of its own, hungry for terror. The night here was different—dense, suffocating, and as alive as anything I’d ever faced. The first horror to confront me was a banshee. Her ghostly figure rose from the mist, and her shriek pierced the silence like a blade, chilling me to the core. But that was all it did—wail and hover, as if mocking my fear. I clenched my jaw and pushed forward, refusing to let it distract me. I had one mission: to find the hidden power source that might save Cameron. There was no room for fear.The forest seemed determined to test me. The branches snagged at my clothes as if trying to pull me back. Shadows flickered in the corners of my vision, mocking me, but I kept moving and the urgency pushed me past exhaustion. The air grew colder and heavier with each step, and every breath felt like I was swallowing the darkness itself. It was as if the forest was dar

Athena I could hardly call my first attempt a victory. Yes, I’d ripped the snake’s fang free, and Cameron’s eyes had opened. His chest rose and fell as he breathed, bringing me a rush of relief so intense it nearly erased my exhaustion. I darted to his bedside, my heart pounding, ready to pull him back into the world.But just as quickly as hope flared, it burned out. His eyelids fluttered, but instead of finding calm, his body jerked violently, as if he was still fighting some unseen demons. Words tumbled from his lips, slurred and frantic, fragments of terror that didn’t make sense.“No… no, leave me alone!” he shouted, thrashing against the sheets.His face twisted in a fear that cut deeper than any wound. The joy I’d felt twisted into dread, eating at my chest. I reached out and gripped his shoulder. “Cameron, baby, it’s me. You’re safe.”But he looked past me as though I were a stranger. My so-called victory had a bitter edge, leaving him trapped somewhere far away, unreachable.

AthenaThe next morning, every inch of my body begged for rest, muscles throbbing and bones aching, but I refused to leave Cameron’s side. No amount of pain could pull me away. And King Marcus lack of trust was as thick as fog, hanging over us all. He didn’t bother hiding his disgust at being here, surrounded by witches, as if the very air offended him.I had gone out of my way to make things as comfortable as possible, setting him up in one of the best cabins, making sure he had everything he needed. I’d practically begged him to get some sleep, to let go of his stubborn pride for even a second. But his scowl told me everything. He’d rather be anywhere else. He looked at the room like it was cursed, muttering under his breath about “evil forces” and “witchcraft.”Honestly, I wanted to tell him to fuck off but I bit my tongue."I don’t want them putting any dark stuff into him,” he muttered, his tone dripping with distrust. The sting of his words hit hard, and I swear he noticed becau

Athena With nothing else left to try, I swallowed my pride and dragged myself to the coven I had sworn never to approach. If the goddess insisted on punishing me, then I’d find a solution from any source willing to help.Fuck her a million times.I burst through the doors at midnight, and my heart pounded, causing my breaths to be short and sharp. The coven members sat in a circle. Their faces were carved from shadows and candlelight. Each gaze turned on me, dripping with irritation and barely concealed spite.The High Priestess, who was the queen's assistant, locked her eyes on mine.. "Athena, Athena, Athena," she chanted, my name rolling off her tongue like a slow, deliberate insult. "Is this truly a habit of yours—to burst in and throw our rituals into chaos?"My entire body shook and my throat closed up. "Priestess, I need your help. I know I’ve ignored your calls and kept my distance, but my mate is dying. Every second he slips further away.” I felt the words catch in my throat
The Unclaimed Mate Eighty-Eight
AthenaSeeing Cameron lying unconscious in that hospital bed felt like someone had yanked the ground from beneath me, ripping my world apart piece by piece. I burst through those cold double doors, screaming his name, "Cameron!"My voice echoed, raw and desperate, down the sterile, quiet hallways. Two stout nurses hurried over, both with annoyed expressions, trying to hold me back. “Ma’am, you need to calm down; this is an emergency ward,” one snapped. I didn’t care. I shrugged them off and rushed to Cameron’s motionless figure.“Please, Cameron, open your eyes.”My voice cracked, and tears spilled down my face, unstoppable, like a dam breaking. Just this morning, he was laughing, alive, and so full of life. Now, he lay there like a stranger—pale, weak, swallowed by a mess of wires and tubes.My legs buckled beneath me as the reality of the scene hit. Doctors and nurses worked tirelessly around him, their movements a blur as they fought to keep him here, keep him with me.“Ma’am, pl
