Chapter 77: Fish in the Sea
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It was finally Saturday. Everly woke up with her heart in her throat and her breath catching every time she tried to draw in a lungful of air. She couldn’t believe this day was here.
She’d never been one of those girls who spent a long time thinking about guys. She certainly hadn’t allowed herself to daydream about sex all of the time like she knew some people did. But as soon as she’d met Jack, part of her had awoken that she just couldn’t ignore, and she’d be lying if she said she hadn’t been drawn to him in a way she’d never been drawn to anyone else. Now, knowing that the two of them were going to be in bed together in just a few hours, she was both excited and nervous as hell.Since it was a Saturday morning, Everly’s dad didn’t have to go to work. He was never one to sleep in, but he would be up and outside messing around the property when she got out of bed. She usually tried to sleep in a bit on Saturday,Related chapters

A brisk knock on the door let Everly know that Alyson was there to pick her up. It was a little past 4:00, and Everly had been ready to go for about two hours. She’d been literally counting the seconds since it had turned 4:00, and she had wanted to reach through her phone and pull Alyson out.It wasn’t that she was dying to sleep with Jack, but she did want to see him. That, and she was dying of boredom. She’d taken her long bath, fixed her dad some dinner, cleaned the house, and watched a couple of movies. Then… there was nothing to do but wait.She’d been lying with her legs draped over the end of the couch, staring up at the ceiling, counting the seconds with Mississippis between them when Alyson knocked on the door. She’d thought she’d heard a car engine but refused to acknowledge it until the knock came. Then, she sprang up like she was spring-loaded. Her dad was in his bedroom. So she shouted, “Dad! Alyson’s her
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 79: Dinner For Two
Everly walked out of Alyson’s room on unsteady legs, wondering what would happen when she reached the bottom of the stairs. She had a feeling Jack wasn’t just going to pick her up and carry her back up the stairs so that he could ravage her, but she knew it wouldn’t be long now, and the nervous tension inside of her was almost enough for her to make herself sick.Holding onto the railing so tight, she thought her hand might break through the wood, Everly made her way down the stairs. Before she even reached the bottom, she saw Jack standing near the door, waiting for her, one hand on the stair rail, looking up, expectantly.Her breath caught in her throat as Everly took Jack in. He was wearing a fitted suit, and he looked amazing. She couldn’t believe how hot he was, standing there, casually leaning against the banister, one foot crossed over the other, his right hand in his pocket while his other arm was on the railing.His eyes met hers, and
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 80: In the Bedroom
Jack didn’t say a word, just took Everly’s hand and led her upstairs. Her heart was still thrumming in her chest. She knew he could hear it, that his wolf shifter ears would allow him to pick up on how loudly it was pounding, but she couldn’t let that bother her, not when there were so many other things to think about.The two of them climbed the stairs side by side, Everly breathing deeply in an attempt to keep herself calm. With every inhale, Jack’s scent coated her lungs. He smelled like the woods, fresh and alive, like pine trees after the rain, with masculine notes intertwined, and she was reminded that her pulse was racing not from nerves but from anticipation.At the top of the stairs, Jack led her down the hallway to his room. She hadn’t been in there before, but when he pushed open the door, she wasn’t at all surprised to see that it looked like what she was expecting, except for cleaner. Of course, it was clean—he had mai
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 81: The Marking Ceremony
Jack took his time exploring Everly’s body, kissing her, touching her, caressing her, igniting her flesh with every graze of his hand, every brush of his lips. By the time he’d unhooked her bra and tossed it aside, she was nearly ready to come undone and found herself wanting to lift her hips to grind against him, particularly when he lowered his head to take her breast into his mouth, his hand working the other one as if he had done this a thousand times before. For someone who claimed to have no experience, Jack Grey was a natural.Both of them were breathing heavily, and she could feel how hard he was, his length resting on her hip, only his thin boxers between them. “I think…” Jack began, “I’ve had enough of waiting for you, Everly.”“Good,” she said, her eyes closed as she bit down on her bottom lip, trying to keep from clawing through the sheets on Jack’s bed. “I’m ready, Jack.” She
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 82: Later That Night
Jack lay in his bed staring up at the ceiling, thinking about what had happened earlier that night. Everly had gotten up about an hour ago. She’d taken a shower in his bathroom while he went into Alyson’s room and got her overnight bag. She’d gotten dressed in her pajamas, and he’d gotten her settled in one of the guestrooms—with Toby. It had been a long time since she’d been able to sleep with her dog, so at least she wouldn’t be alone. As much as he wanted to spend the night with her, neither one of them were ready for that yet, which seemed a little odd when he thought about how important it usually was for people to spend the night together after sex, but he thought she really wanted her own space.He wanted some space, too, but only because he was afraid if he didn’t put some space between them, he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off of her. And she needed to get some rest, not be harassed by him all night.Sigh
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 83: The Morning After
The next morning, Alyson woke Everly up early. “I thought you might want to leave early, before my parents get up,” she said. “Or maybe not?”Everly was half asleep, but everything came flooding back to her. She’d hardly gotten any sleep the day before because she’d been up half the night thinking about what had gone on with Jack and worried about the whole situation with her arm. “Yeah, I think that’s a good idea,” Everly muttered.“Okay. Chase is going to drive us,” Alyson continued. “I didn’t know how you’d feel about seeing Jack. Unless you want to see him.”“No, I want to see him,” she said.“Oh, all right. I’ll let him know while you get dressed,” Alyson said, hopping off of the bed. Toby still wasn’t thrilled that this girl kept popping into the room and disturbing his rest, not to mention bothering his hooman, but he didn&r

Waiting for Jack to pick her up for school was a lot harder than Everly thought it was going to be. She ended up texting him several times that night, as long as her phone was working, which wasn’t for as long as she’d hoped it would. At least she’d gotten a chance to tell him about her arm.In the morning, he picked her up alone, and Everly hardly got the door open before Jack was flying inside. “Is your dad here?” he asked.“No, his truck’s not—”She didn’t get to finish the sentence before Jack’s mouth was on hers, devouring her lips, his hands on her hips lifting her off of the ground. Everly couldn’t help but laugh as her fingers intertwined in his hair.“Sorry,” he said when he finally uncoiled his tongue from hers. “I’ve been waiting a while to do that.”Everly felt her heart still pitter pattering in her chest. She understood what he meant.
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 85: The Picture
Everly let Jack’s words set in for a second before she repeated them aloud. “The head of the council?” It was definitely a question, though. “The head of the council was there… when my mother disappeared?”“Apparently,” Jack said, his tone sympathetic, not angry or accusatory against the man who was supposed to be a leader of their type, a man who had clearly been lying to them for years while they looked for and questioned what had become of Everly’s mother.“And your father is sure?” Everly said.“He’s sure. He was blown away. He didn’t know what to say or do.” Jack still sounded flabbergasted.“I don’t think we should say or do anything at the moment, Jack,” Everly said, her pulse beginning to race again. “I think we need to wait until I’m completely done with this process, whatever you want to call it.”“Oh, definitely,&rdq

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

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.”
