All Chapters of Underestimated Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ZANNICUS: When we arrived at the house, the pack rather, everyone zoomed into their homes and upstairs to no doubt do the tasks I assigned to them. It was four twenty eight so I went directly to the kitchen. Seth's sudden appearance surprised me as he grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. The event that transpired here hours ago left me on high alert as I felt Seth leaned back against the counter. "So, what was your decision?" I raised my brows in question, "Are you gonna train with us?" I nodded and turned back hearing him sigh quietly, "Yeah, starting tomorrow." "Are you sure you'll be fine?" I smiled feeling my heart flutter at the sound of concern behind those words. "Of course. I can handle myself Seth, don't worry." "Mmm. Okay then. I trust you. Besides, you can definitely handle yourself knowing who you are now." He said as I felt him coming closer to whisper the last part. He continued until he was right beside me. I looked at him as he peered down at me. "But if

ZANNICUS: Eighteen minutes till one and I'm sitting on the edge of my bed, too excited to even take a nap. I look forward to our run, especially since Seth is joining for the very first time! I lay down for a while, wiggling my feet and never looked away from my phone. And just as the clock struck one, a knock resonated through my room, to which I flew up and off my bed rushing to open the door. I beamed and let Seth inside, "You ready?" He nodded, looking just as excited, "Are you?" He smirked and I grinned in reply. "You go first. I'll meet you outside." He nodded and yanked off his shirt. Swallowing, I quickly turned away feeling my cheeks flush. I heard him chuckle followed by ruffling of clothes. I heard bones cracking, groans then a bark. I turned to see him in his wolf form. 'He looks so cute.' His tail wagged before he went to the window and jumped out. I took off my clothes and quickly shifted, taking the time to heave a breath before leaping out of my window and landin

ZANNICUS: The warmth on the back of my neck roused me awake and I took the time to stretch any kinks out before sitting up with a sigh. A glance at my clock showed that I had missed breakfast, and I'm so grateful Alpha Ryder isn't here. I swung my legs over the bed, the chill from the floor was enough to dispell any remaining lethargy from my body. I shuddered, smacking my lips in attempts to remove the dryness in my mouth. Why is it that I'm always like this everytime I wake up? I drank enough water- ohh.....I paused, scratching my neck, 'I went straight to bed after our run and forgot to drink some water.' But still though, I pouted, I always drink water yet I still end up with a dry mouth. I took a shower and changed into black jeans and plain dark blue shirt but not before checking on my bruises and found that they've all healed. While ruffling my hair, I glanced at the clock to find that is was nearly lunchtime. "I'm starving. Ax?" I paused, frowning at the wall, "Are you alr

RONAN: It felt good that I finally told him. It's true, I blamed myself for leaving that night, but when I saw my father come out of his room, my heart stopped and I could feel my stomach churn in extreme discomfort. I wanted to go to him, but I couldn't bring myself to. I locked myself in my room for weeks. He held my hand when he reassured me that nothing happened and boy was I glad. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Well, you can release that guilt of yours, because nothing happened. Thanks to you." Tentatively, I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him back. I felt him snuggle closer. 'He fits perfectly in my arms.' Eventually, we pulled away but our hands remained entwined as we resumed our trek through the forest. I was inordinately pleased Zannicus even remained close to me. "Are you really not going to tell me where we're going??" He asked with a little smile. I turned to him with a smile of my own, "A little impatient are we?" He just squinte

SETH: Nic resembled a starfish as he sprawled out on the couch in the living room where we were resting. I was in a similar fashion as Nic's and it's currently six in the morning. Nic rubbed his face with a tired groan while I sighed for the umpteenth time and rolled my shoulder. The scratch marks on my arm and on Nic's chin has healed. What a night. When I heard that feral growl, I had fallen off my bed with a yelp and Nic bursted through my door a minute later. As soon as we exchanged looks of understanding, we sprinted down towards Zannie's room. Nic was roused awake by sounds of banging, he said. It was a miracle that the other pack members that reside in the second, third and fourth floors slept through the entire commotion. Ronan's roar should've woken them all up. We skidded to a stop to the sight of a feral, half-shifted Ronan standing protectively over a whimpering, trembling Zannicus on the floor. Ronan kept the men away but when two lunged towards an unsuspecting Ronan f
