2024-10-29 19:42:56“What did you find out about my mom?” Everly asked Slate, her eyes focused out the front window as she waited for her dad to come home. She didn’t want him to overhear their conversation. She was also afraid that she would lose her cell phone signal right as Slate was telling her what he’d found out. That would be awful.
“I can’t tell you over the phone,” Slate explained. “We need to meet in person.”Everly couldn’t believe what he was telling her. “What? No! I can’t do that. I told you, I can’t drive, and my dad won’t let me go out with anyone he doesn’t know. He definitely won’t let me go out with you.”“All right, so… I’ll just pick you up from school,” Slate said like it wasn’t that big of a deal.“From school?” Everly repeated. “You mean like after school?”“If you want to,” he said. &ldRelated chapters

Nerves bubbled up in Everly’s stomach all morning. Jack knew there was something bothering her, but she was able to explain that by pretending that it was just her arm that was bothering her. Every time he looked at her like he wasn’t sure what was the matter with her, Everly would just reach over and grab her arm.Mr. Donald was lecturing for most of their history class, so that was something. It gave Everly the opportunity to think about what she was about to do without having to talk to Jack. If he had any idea that she was about to sneak out of school to go and have lunch with Slate, it wouldn’t matter to him what information the member of the Licht pack had to say to her. He could know exactly what happened to her mom, and it wouldn’t matter to Jack. There’s really nothing that Slate could say to her that would be good enough to justify the risk that she was taking.But then… if she had already been scratched by Rider, what dif

“You’ve got to be shitting me,” Everly said, taking in the motorcycle Slate was sitting on. "You can’t actually expect me to go anywhere on that… do you?” While it was true that she had imagined herself on the back of a motorcycle a few times since she’d literally run into Jack at the supermarket that day a few months ago, this was different. This wasn’t Jack, and she hasn’t seen or heard Jack’s motorcycle for a while.Besides, this wasn’t Jack. This was a stranger. A dangerous stranger that she was pretty sure she shouldn’t trust.“Relax, cupcake,” Slate said, a crooked grin on his face. “I’m not going to let you get hurt. Just climb on back, and hold on tight. I’ll get you to lunch and back in one piece.”“Do we even have time for this?” Everly argued.“Not if you keep standing there arguing with me,” he said. “I called ahea

Something was wrong. Jack had gone through the line and gotten his lunch, choosing a few more items than normal in case Everly didn’t have time to go up there herself after she dropped her assignment off, but it seemed to be taking an awfully long time for her to swing by her English classroom.Something just wasn’t right about this entire scenario, and as he picked at his food, he had to wonder if she was okay.“Where is she?” Alyson asked, glancing around. “Surely, she’s okay.”“I hope so,” Jack said, also looking around. “I don’t know. It just doesn’t make any sense.”“You said she was acting weird in class?” Chase asked him. “Like weird how?”“Like… just nervous about something, I guess. I thought it was because of… the other situation.” He had to be careful what he said with Sophia sitting at their table. “You know&hellip
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 57: Not Speaking
The bus probably still picked up in the same place out front, Everly supposed. That was what she was expecting to have to catch in order to get home. After all, it was pretty clear that Jack wasn’t going to want to give her a ride, not after what she’d done. The way he’d looked at her when she’d come inside the school had made Everly want to rip her own heart out of her chest and stomp on it.And to think, he’d just kissed her the day before.Well, she was glad she’d enjoyed it while it lasted because that wasn’t going to happen again.She was late for music class. She handed the teacher the nurse’s pass, and she accepted it with no question. Then, she took her seat and ignored Alyson’s heavy gaze. She was certain that Jack’s sister knew exactly where she had been, thanks to that mind-link thingy he had told her about.She really didn’t want to talk to Alyson about it, but as soon as there was a br
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 58: Sorry, Not Sorry
Jack could hear Everly crying when he closed his bedroom door. He didn’t slam it, even though he wanted to, but the loud rock music had helped him get a little bit of the anger out of his system, and he saw no point in continuing to let her know he wasn’t happy with her.He was pretty sure she’d gotten the message.Besides, even though he was hurt and angry that she’d done something so utterly stupid and dangerous, he still cared about her. He certainly didn’t want her to die.He still needed to figure out a way to keep her from turning into a horrible monster with the full moon, which was coming up in just over two weeks, so… he couldn’t stay mad at her for too long.He’d been up most of the night digging through books in the library, trying to find something in the ancient texts that would tell them what to do. He’d pulled out every book he could find that might say how to reverse what Rider had done. He&rs
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 59: Everything's Wrong
Everly took the book she’d stolen from Jack’s library out of her coat and carried it into her bedroom, putting it underneath her pillow so that no one would see it. By no one, she meant her dad, since there wasn’t anyone else who came into her house except for Jack himself, but then, he wasn’t going to be coming in there himself any time soon, what with him hating her himself.Then, Everly went into the kitchen and threw herself into making dinner. By the time her father got home, the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and rolls were ready.Apparently, her emotional state was so obvious even her dad was able to tell there was something going on. “What’s the matter?” Jim asked as he cut into his meatloaf.“Nothing,” Everly replied, stirring her mashed potatoes around her plate but not really eating anything.“It sure seems like something is the matter,” Jim surmised. “Is Toby doing all right?”
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 60: The Next Day
When Everly woke up the next morning, she was surprised to see she had a text from Jack.“Do you need a ride to school?”She stared at it for a few moments, half wondering if he this was some sort of trick. If she said that she did need a ride, would he say, “Too bad,”?She didn’t need a ride, though, so she sent a text back saying, “No, thank you. My dad can take me.” Thankfully, there were enough bars that it sent.A minute later, the response, “K,” came through.She couldn’t blame him for being succinct.Getting up, she headed to the bathroom to take a shower, hoping the water would help wake her up a little. She’d stayed up too late looking at that book. Nothing she’d found had been too helpful. But then, she hadn’t known if she should skim or read the whole thing word for word. She’d started off skimming but then decided that wasn’t helping much, so she’
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 61: Building Fences
Since it was the last day before the Thanksgiving break, the teachers didn’t really expect them to do much. Most of Jack’s classes were blow-off classes. The teachers either showed them a video or let them talk the whole time.By history class, he was ready for school to be over.He didn’t have anything he wanted to say to Everly, though. After what she’d done yesterday, after she’d had the audacity to go off with Slate during lunch, to steal that book…. Maybe she wasn’t the girl he thought she was.She came into the classroom and glanced at him briefly before making her way to her seat. He didn’t say anything to her. What was there to say? He was still going to help her the way that he’d said he would, but things were definitely different between them now.And to think, he’d just been kissing her in her kitchen two days ago….“All right, let’s get started,” Mr. Donald said

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.”
