All Chapters of The Unchosen Mate: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Justin He had requested the obstacle course in the back of the Lodge. I vaguely admired Ethan’s ability to think under strain. The Lodge was public enough where we couldn’t let our physical attraction to each other get in the way of our conversation; private enough outside where we wouldn’t be overheard; and if we were seen, we’d both be looking like we were still invested in our physical training, regardless of the press conference this morning. He looked as disheveled as I felt; hair askew, golden eyes bright with emotion but dark bags beneath. So he hadn’t slept, either. He stiffened when he felt me approach; whether he scented me or sensed me coming, it didn’t matter. He had already been in the middle of a workout; his chest was glistening with sweat, his shirt discarded somewhere in the midst of his exertions. I couldn’t take my

LoPerrin had looked too sexy not to touch; the moment he had returned to his room I had fought every urge not to jump into his lap and ride him like I had last night. I had the fortunate excuse to start the bath for him to calm myself, taking advantage of the privacy in the bathroom and wiping the drip between my legs that had started at the sight of him.But as he had said, he was in no shape tonight for lovemaking. Or fucking. Or both.But a little kissing couldn’t hurt, right?Like last night, our kiss had started slowly; passionately, the warm water welcoming our bodies into its depths. He had spread his legs for me under the water, welcoming me to float lightly on his lap as he wrapped his arms around me, holding me to him so I wouldn’t drift away. The tub was deeper than I

Perrin“Any clue what she wants?”“I don’t really care,” I told Lo, devouring a massive plate of eggs and bacon.“It’s not like she can grovel for your forgiveness,” Kira added, digging into her own plate. Kira had knocked on my door early this morning, itchy and frustrated. She needed to run, I knew. And I had no idea where Ethan was to help her exercise her cravings out. I had hoped he mustered the courage to confront his mate. But Kira needed help, and trusting my mate to understand, I had tiptoed out of the room, Lo still sound asleep, and went for an easy six miles with her. I was still sore, after all.We were enjoying a late breakfast with Lo in the kitchen now. She looked completely at

PerrinLo gave me a look across the room. There was no mistaking the “I told you so,” look on her face.“Calm down, Kira!” I said, watching her pace and flail her arms around my room. “She was out of her mind!” Kira exclaimed. “First she was throwing pine cones at me, then she thought I stole something from her? Why the hell is she hiding out in the middle of the woods anyway?”I grimaced. I had no idea. But I listened as Lo explained her own awkward run-in with her earlier at the infirmary to Kira, who stared wide-eyed at my mate.“So she’s not only a sociopath, she’s legitimately crazy?”“That’s not helpful, Kir

Perrin“How is he?” Lo rubbed my back as she sat down next to me. I let out a sigh. “Thanks for coming. He’ll be fine. Jennivah said he’ll be here for the night but she re-set his bones and he’s already healing.”“That’s great news!”I gave her a look. None of what happened was great news. “What is it?”I tried as best I could to explain who–or rather, what– we had fought out there. Her eyes widened as she listened to the wild beast we had encountered.“And he just
