Chapter 131: Meeting Jim
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“What did your dad say when you called him?” Jack asked as he drove the borrowed pickup truck from the neighbor’s house to the closest town, which was really more like a village. When they arrived there, Jack only saw a general store and a handful of houses, as well as a restaurant and gas station.
That was pretty much it.
They were early because Jim had a lot further to come. It was fine with Jack because he wanted to talk to Everly, and so far, every time he tried to talk to her, she dodged the question.
“He said he’d be here as soon as he could get here.” Everly turned and looked out the window, her eyes focused on the front of the store across the street from where Jack had pulled in the faded red pickup truck.
“Can we talk about a few things?” He’d asked earlier, and she’d mumbled that it wasn’t a good time.
He heard her sigh, but she didn’t turn her head. “What?&rdq

Everly’s stomach was in her throat as they pulled into the small drive outside of her mother’s cabin. None of this was going to be easy. She was going to have to be careful not to scare the shit out of her dad when he saw Jack shift, and then, when he saw her mom for the first time, she was going to have to give them time to talk to one another while she and Jack went off to check in with Slate and Jack’s family to see if they’d gotten everything sorted out.Before they got out of the truck, Jack leaned over her and said, “Are you all right?”“I am right now, but I’m nervous as hell. What if he freaks out? Or what if he doesn’t forgive her?”“I don’t think there’s much of a chance of him not forgiving her, but I do think that he will freak out when he sees me shift. There’s not much chance of that not happening.”Her dad was already out of his truck and headed over to her si

Jack wrapped his arm around Everly, and she leaned back against him as she watched her father’s face. She didn’t know what he was going to do—have a heart attack, fall down into the snow, burst into tears.“Ch-Chelsea?” he asked, like he wasn’t sure it was his wife he was seeing walking toward him.“Hi, Jimmy,” she said, stopping a bit short of him. She also seemed unsure of exactly what he might do. “How are you?”“Is it really you?” he asked, his hand reaching for her, as if it did so of its own accord, but he didn’t trust his own eyes. “Are you really alive? And here?”She nodded. “It’s really me. I’m alive. And I’m here. I have a lot to tell you. But, yeah, it’s me.”“H-how… are you… here?” Everly’s dad had tears running down his face, and she didn’t know if she should leave and give

“So… how did it go?” Slate asked as Everly and Jack came back into Margot’s house.“It was… really weird,” Everly admitted, slumping down onto the couch. Jack sat down next to her and took her hand, but he didn’t say anything. Slate didn’t stir from his perch on the chair.She’d had some time to think about it. Everly had driven her dad’s truck behind Jack as he’d taken her mom’s friend’s truck back to him. After they’d dropped it off, she’d slid over to the passenger side and let Jack drive back to her mom’s cabin. The whole way, all she kept thinking about was how shocked her dad was and how he hadn’t reacted the way she’d expected him to when he’d seen her mom.But then… her mom hadn’t exactly come running with open arms either.None of it was what she had imagined it would be.“What do you mean by weird, E
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 135: Witch Way
By the look on Slate’s face, it seemed evident to Everly that he was about to disagree with what Jack was going to say. So it didn’t surprise her when he shook his head and said, “I really don’t think that the mages are going to be a problem, Jack.”“Why do you say that?” Jack asked. “They’re already working with the Council, clearly. Or at the very least, they’re on their side. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have tipped them off that we knew about them being there when Mrs. Harrison was injured.”Slate was shaking his head for most of the time that Jack was speaking, his dirty blond hair shaking around his shoulders. “But that was all petty stuff from a high school girl with a crush who was trying to get back at you for not going to a dance with her, right? So… there’s no reason to think that she has any way of organizing a clan of witches against us. They’d be stupid to organize ag
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 136: Sneaky Little Witch
Everly felt a cold chill go down her spine at just the mention of Maura’s name. “What do you mean, Jack?” she asked, picking up a dishtowel off of the counter and drying her hands. The lunch dishes would have to wait until later because she needed to hear what he had to say.He took a deep breath and leaned back against the wall near the wall, folding his arms. “That was Alyson,” he began. “She said… about thirty minutes ago, Maura showed up at our house, looking for me. My mom told her that I wasn’t there, and she said that we had a school project we were supposed to be working on, and that the school sent her to come and check on me. Mom said that I was at a doctor’s appointment or something like that, but Maura spent a good five or ten minutes talking to my mom about where I was and what was going on. I don’t know, but as she was leaving, the alarm sounded from the prison that the Council members had somehow manage
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 137: I'm Coming Too
“What does the book say?” Everly asked Margot, afraid to hear what the older woman might have to say.Margot turned and looked at her, pulling her eyes away from Slate. “I don’t know,” she said.“What do you mean you don’t know?” Slate asked, making Margot swivel back around to look at him.“I don’t know what it says, but I’m sure that if it says that you can fix her, it also says how to undo it. If the book was worth taking from you, I guarantee that there’s a reason they wanted it, and if it was Maura who led the charge to get it, you have to think about why she would want it. What does Maura want more than anything?”“That’s easy enough,” Everly said, folding her arms as she pursed her lips together. She dropped her eyes to Jack’s shoes and then slowly raised them to his head. He shrugged. “She wants Jack.”“So… there has to be so
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 138: Back to the Scene
Sitting in her father’s truck between her parents, it seemed surreal to Everly that she was even in a situation where it was possible to be sitting there.It also seemed surreal that she was headed right back to the situation she’d been fleeing the night before on the back of Slate’s motorcycle.Yet, here she was, riding right back there, despite the fact that most of the people she trusted in the world thought it was a bad idea.But then, she also thought it was a bad idea that her father, who was driving the truck, was going.Slate had taken his motorcycle back, but he was going by road this time, using Margot’s directions to reach the closest route that wouldn’t make it so he could only travel about five miles per hour, the way that he’d had to drive to get there.Jack was sitting in the back of the truck, stewing. She knew he was angry over the fact that Everly was going back, but he was also angry that they’d ag
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 139: Grandma's Advice
Alyson knocked on Grandma Genevieve’s house and waited for the old woman to call for her and Everly to come in. It only took a few moments for her soft, shaky voice to call, “Come in, come in!” as if it didn’t matter who it was knocking.Alyson poked her head in first. “Hi, Grandma Genevieve,” she said. “Can Everly and I come in?”Everly thought it was strange that she was even asking when they’d just been told that they could, but it was no surprise when Grandma Genevieve said, “Of course, dear. I’ve been expecting Everly. It’s nice that you could come with her. Please, come in, and have a seat.”“Thank you,” Alyson said, holding the door for her as Everly came through. Alyson closed the door behind her, and Everly instantly felt very welcome.The home smelled like chocolate chip cookies and flowers. The living room was cozy, and everything about it made her feel like she w

Everly carefully made her way down the stairs toward Jack’s living room, holding on tight to the railing. The heels she was wearing were a lot higher than what she was used to, but Alyson insisted she should wear them because they looked perfect with the sapphire blue dress she was wearing. While Everly loved the tight, strapless, sequined dress, she wasn’t sure that the silver heels looked all that great.They’d look a lot worse if she fell down the stairs and broke her neck because of them…. But then, she was a shifter now, so her coordination should be better.That didn’t make her feel any less shaky on the shoes.When she got about three-fourths of the way down, she heard a loud exhale and managed to pull her eyes away from the next step long enough to look at Jack.Her heart skipped a beat, seeing him standing there by the front door with a pink corsage in his hand, wearing a perfectly-fitted suit with a tie that matched her dress. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was slightly a
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 154: Moving Forward
Pain radiated throughout Jack’s chest and back as he felt himself slowly being dragged back to reality. His thoughts were cloudy as he tried to remember exactly what had happened. The last thing he remembered, he was running through the forest toward the sounds of fighting, looking for Everly.The next thing he knew, he was lying on the ground, blood everywhere, trying to breathe through the most unbelievable pain he’d ever experienced in his entire life.“Come on, Jack!” he heard a somewhat familiar voice telling him. “Go ahead and open your eyes, Jack. Let us know that you can hear us.”It was a struggle, but the realization that he didn’t know where Everly was or if she was okay made him will his eyes open. Blinking a few times, Jack looked at the concerned faces around him and tried to piece everything together.He was surrounded by people who looked like they were about to cry, except for Jamie, the healer. She was concerned, but not tearful.He’d seen Everly, though, so he force
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 153: No Cousin of Mine
Not long ago, watching Jack die wouldn’t have been that big of a deal to Slate. In fact, he probably would’ve just shrugged about it and made some remarks like, “Too bad. He was so young.” But now that he realized that Alyson was his fated mate, Slate felt compelled to find someone to help the guy he’d wanted to tear limb from limb all by himself only a few days ago.Tearing through the woods, he used his mind-link capability to reach out to anyone from his pack to see if they knew where any healers were. Unfortunately, everyone was either too far away to hear him or they were too busy to respond.He darted through a thick wooded area and came around a large pine tree to see a wide meadow full of velvety green grass glowing in the silvery moonlight.And on the other side of it, he saw a familiar wolf loping along, following his nose.It wasn’t one of the healers he was looking for, though.No, it was someone who shouldn&rs
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 152: Mage to the Rescue
The smile on Everly’s face was there despite the pain at seeing Lexi show up right behind Maura as she was in the process of tormenting her. Maura might’ve thought it was fun prolonging her death, but just like the villain in every James Bond movie, she was about to find out what happened when you didn’t kill your enemy right away.“What’s wrong with your face, Everly?” Maura had asked her, but Everly didn’t get a chance to answer before it was Maura’s face that was suddenly messed up.Lexi hit her from behind with a strong beam of magic. It was so powerful that Everly could actually see it glowing and lighting up the forest. When it hit the cheerleader in the back, Maura’s eyes bulged, and her body stiffened, her back arching as she tried to figure out exactly what was happening and how to make the pain stop.Immediately, the agony that had been coursing through Everly’s body faded as Maura was too dis

Hands would’ve been a great thing to have at the moment, but Everly only had paws. She looked around and saw that her dad had the backpack, so theoretically, she could go shift and get dressed quickly, but her back hurt so bad, she didn’t know if she could get all of that done.Jim was already trying to stop the blood that was flowing like a river out of Jack’s chest and back. “I’m so sorry,” he kept saying. “I was just trying to protect you, Everly.”She couldn’t respond to her father, what with him being a human and her being a wolf, but she knew it wasn’t on purpose.That wouldn’t matter if Jack died.Behind her, she heard the sound of rocks and tree branches sliding down the side of the ravine as Alyson and Slate came flying down behind them.“What happened?” Alyson asked, using the mind-link. “We thought we heard—” Her eyes landed on Jack and her countenance
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 150: Catastrophe
Every inch of Everly’s body ached, but she knew she had to push herself up off of the ground and get out of there.If that wolf were to come back, he would kill her, and she’d fought too hard to die now.Pushing up off of the ground, Everly tried to get her feet beneath her. The ache in her back was blindingly painful. She thought she might pass out from the pain. Could she have injured her spine when she hit that tree trunk upon her descent?She didn’t know, but she had to ignore the pain and move.Everly took a few careful steps, trying to get her bearings. She knew that Jack and her mother were up on top of the hill. But it was so far away from where she was now, she couldn’t even hear them fighting.Climbing back up the steep ravine would be nearly impossible in her current state.Instead, she’d need to find another way to walk to get back to someone who could help her.If only she had her cell phone&
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 149: After Her
The black wolf Jack was fighting was strong, and though he had spent a lot of time training and sparing with other wolves in his pack… he’d never actually fought anyone with the intent to kill them.But… at the moment, he had no choice. If he didn’t try to kill the wolf that was scratching at him with his long claws, trying to knock Jack backward so that he could sink his long fangs into his neck, then that wolf would finish him off without a second thought, and Jack couldn’t let that happen.Next to him, Slate didn’t seem to have any problem whatsoever going in for a kill shot. Out of the corner of his eye, Jack could see Slate knock the smaller male he was fighting onto his backside and then chomp down on the sensitive area between his neck and shoulder. Within a few seconds, the wolf stopped moving, and Slate stood up, looking for the next wolf to take on.Jack didn’t have time to survey the area as he needed to pin this
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 148: The Battle Begins
Running through the forest with Jack on one side and her mother on the other, Everly felt a nervous tension building inside of her. Knowing that Jack and her mother had vowed to protect her was one thing, but that didn’t mean that she wouldn’t end up in a situation where she’d be forced to protect herself.And she was pretty sure she wasn’t capable of that.After all, she wasn’t exactly an athletic human to begin with. Now that she was a wolf, that hadn’t changed. These other shifters had been training for this their whole lives, so they knew exactly what to do while they were fighting. And the werewolves were so vicious, they instinctively knew exactly what to do to make sure that they could handle anyone who was stupid enough to challenge them.But Everly felt just about as vulnerable as her dad. At least he had brought a gun. He was riding on her mother’s back right now, and Everly made a point not to look directly into Jim

“He was at the party?” Everly repeated what Su said. “Slate was at the party where you were turned into a werewolf?”Su’s head bobbed up and down again. “That’s right. He was with the guy that bit me.”“You’re sure it wasn’t him though, right?” Everly asked as she felt Jack tense up beside her.“Oh, yeah. I’m sure it wasn’t him. But still… it’s weird to see someone who knows about all of this. He was with the guy when he was telling me about what happened and telling me that I was in huge trouble and I was going to have to do something.”Everly couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Slate had gone through this before. “Slate!” she shouted, and he looked up.His eyes flickered to Everly’s face, and then they went to Su’s, and they widened. Even from across the yard, Everly could read his lips, “Oh, shit.”
