All Chapters of The Unchosen Mate: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

The LodgePerrin“How is she?”“Awake,” Ethan replied, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. I didn’t know how long he had been at the infirmary, but he wasn’t back by the time Lo and I had returned to the pack house. Even if he had tried to reach out, I was fast asleep.“And breathing on her own,” he added. “That’s great. Anything more?”“Jennivah said she likely won’t remember anything in the hours leading up to it.”I looked at him. “Are you saying--”“No, no. She’ll definitely remember

Perrin“So? How did it go?” I had waited outside of my father’s office, with Ethan and his mate until the last possible moment. But I knew my father and his ego wouldn’t appreciate me being there, especially after what happened when Kira had told me about her ‘mate’ before my father the first time.The pair looked tired, but relieved. As if the last half an hour had been more grueling than a training session. I guess in some ways, it had been.“He accepted it and gave us his blessing,” Ethan said, a little tight lipped.“And Deidre?” I asked. It was customary for the Luna to do the same.Ethan’s brow furrowed. “She did.&rdquo

PerrinJaz was asleep. I wasn’t surprised. She had barely slept the night before. I couldn’t imagine what it took to deal with what she dealt with on a daily basis. How could she treat life and death so clinically when Kira was on the table? It blew my mind. A low buzzing sound echoed from somewhere in the pocket. I checked the bedside table. Where was my phone? I crept out of bed, trying to find my jeans. Another buzz from the tiled floor. Ah. I retraced my steps, pulling my phone out of the vibrating denim on the kitchen floor. Lo’s face flashed on the screen. “Hello?” I whispered.“Hey! Wh

EthanI hadn’t had enough time in the last few days to fathom what it would be like to be with Justin. But I had time well before I had a mate to think about it, in the quiet times when I had a chance to admire the fine male figure of someone else at the Lodge, or when we were forced to study the head shots of the challengers. I wondered if I would have stopped on Justin’s picture if I had been looking at the photographs of the Alpha Challengers as I had studied, rather than the Beta ones. Would I have known then? That this dark and attractive male would be my mate?I turned to him, his massive form now flooded with low lamplight. Would I have recognized the face of my mate in a picture? Would something in me have known he was the one?On those days that I had allowed myself to admire the male form, I hadn’t imagined it

PerrinIt hadn’t sat well, what Lo had said. Jaz had held too much from me. We were supposed to be talking more, to make this all work. And I hear that she’s sharing things about my Beta with Lo that she hasn’t bothered telling me?I texted her, asking her to join me for a walk. Part of me didn’t want her being in the pack house tonight, a gut feeling that I couldn’t quite explain. Walking gave us direction, momentum of some kind that we just weren’t getting outside of the bedroom.She agreed to meet me when she got off work. I had switched out patrol so that I could get to the bottom of this. While nothing typically came before my sense of duty and running patrol, this thing with Jaz was stuck in my head and throwing all of my concentration.“Hey,&rd
