All Chapters of The Alpha's Heart & Soul: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

They finally emerged from her room, after another round of intense lovemaking. Needing also to replenish their energy with some food and drink, as it was nearing lunchtime, both ravenous for a hearty meal, luckily Ava was a pro in keeping readymade meals on hand, so getting something prepared was quick and easy.Cade and Ava could not keep their hands to themselves, constantly finding ways of being within touching distance of each other.Ava had shown him around her home, which according to him was pure Ava.

Finally, after the dogs had been tended too. They stumbled along towards Ava’s bedroom, both hurriedly divesting their clothes, desperate to have skin on skin contact. Whilst Ava had been busy taking care of a few things, Cade had prepared a special treat, that he knew was going to heighten both of their pleasures to a new level. Reaching her room, he picked her up and placed her in the middle of the bed, laying her against a pile of pillows, “You are so beautiful.” He praised, admiring her curvaceous figure.

Watching his mate retreat from him, Cade could only growl in defeat and sadness, this is not how he wanted to tell his mate of his hidden nature.He had hoped to have time to slowly woo her, that she got to know the man, before she got to know his hidden secret, too have time for her to know the real him and not to fear the unknown.Damn, he cursed in his mind, the bastard who was threatening his happiness is going to suffer a slow and torturous death, the moment he gets his hands on the culprit.Keeping his gaze on his mate, “Call Matt!” He ordered, having sensed that the guard was getting up behind him, “Tell him of the situation and to get his ass here asap!”Glad that the guard did not question his orders or throw a hissy fit for being hurt by his alpha, grateful that the guard had listened and retreated.His attention now could be solely fixed on his mate, determined to win over her trust, he could not fail in his attem

Shocked, it took a few seconds for Cade’s mind to piece together the last few minutes, his mind reeling from Ava’s instantaneous attack, not sure where or what was happening. Until her words filtered into his mind, understanding finally dawning on him, snaking a arm around his mate, he pulled her forward, crushing her against him, “Hush…it’s not what you think.” He soothed against her ear, trying to calm his mate, his hope blossoming, despite the circumstances of their current situation, if Ava was having this kind of reaction, it gave him hope that she would accept the rest of what he had to tell her. Needing to get this sorted asap, not wanting to prolong his mate’s suffering, he stood up, with her gently held in his arms, her hands still trapped between them, turning around he sat back down on the couch, placing her on his lap, making soothing noises. “My ex is exactly what I told you in our past conversation, my ex…!” He clarified determinedly, “I might h

“So what do we do now?” Ava asked, her sweet voice penetrating his rage-fuelled mind. Those who knew him would know that Ava was his true mate, only a true mate would be able to calm the beast within. “Well, it depends, on what is decided in the next few moments, we can carry on where we were last at, before we were rudely interrupted or we confront the elephant in the room, in this case…Sharon.” He answered, hoping that they could continue on the former, rather than the latter. Typical…men all around the universe only thought with one head at a time, always guaranteed to be the one below their belt, huffing in frustration, crossing her arms, she glared at Cade, “I was querying about your ex…!” She elaborated, getting to the point. Muttering under his breath, “There is nothing we can do, until Sharon is found and brought to justice, we will stay here, under the protection of the guards, my brothers will notify me immediately of any news or findings.”
