All Chapters of My Unsuspecting Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

If there was something Isabelle knew more than anything it was the damning fact that humans hate her kind. It was not because they had done anything to deserve it - at least not that she knew of, it was just the simple fact that they were different. Humans are pretty uncomfortable with people they deemed different especially if the people in question have the ability to shapeshift. Some humans are barely tolerable of the knowledge of her kind while others actively come after them. Isabelle thought they were lucky folks in Appleberry belonged in the latter category. Isabelle saw the way the shopkeeper watched them as if they were a band of thieves or something equally worse. Her brother, Xavier waited for the human to check out their purchases and he quickly counted the dollar bills, placed them on the counter, and gestured for the rest of them to leave. Isabelle followed her brother, Hallec; his beta, and three others outside the massive grocery store, and couldn’t help glancing back

When the cry vibrated through the walls again, he stood up with effort and felt a certain wetness under his jacket. He slowly raised up the left flab, and saw a red stain a few inches down his armpit, he cursed. Reaching into his closet again, he searched, from memory, for one of his father’s regular gifts for him since when he clocked sixteen and retrieved his hand holding an embellished Colt 1849 revolver. He recalled there were about ten different makes of the very expensive revolvers stacked in the same corner with custom-made and equally emblemized pocket knives. He quickly checked if the gun was still loaded and nodded to himself when he saw it was. Tucking it in the band of his denim trousers, he left his room, feeling the pain in his ribcage increase. The entire house seemed eerily quiet. He thought perhaps the area had wolves now. But then that cry sounded as if it came from inside the building not outside. He recalled his father started acquiring animals of strange species

He went inside his closet to get his fanny pack and quickly checked inside to make sure his custom-made micro spy-camera jammer was inside. He took it from the bag, picked grey-colored joggers to pull on, and slipped the device inside his pocket. He came out and his eyes settled on the glass cup on his nightstand and he went to pick it up. He figured wandering around with a glass cup in hand might serve as a good cover. He loved his ability to come up with viable, solid plans, whenever under pressure.He pulled the exit door to his room open and found the hallway empty. He had been expecting to find the place well guarded to prevent him from wandering off again. He supposed Jerome didn't think of him as a danger now because of his wound.He walked leisurely down the hallway, ignoring the cameras embedded at th

Cole felt feathery touches on his pectorals and his eyelids flipped open. Breathing steadily he stared into the face of his father’s merchandise. She had washed and released her hair from the bun and now the black, wet tendrils framed her face and fell down her front covering her naked chest. She knelt beside his low height bed and thus he couldn’t see how far they reached. A frown wrinkled his eyebrows when he saw the bruises on her face had disappeared.He blinked wondering if it was the trick of the light. The room was dimly lit with only his bedside lamp on, reduced to a low glow. But then she was pretty close and he had pretty great eyesight to the point he had earned the nickname eagle-eye amongst his team.He watched her lips part, distracting him from his thoughts, and his hungry gaze settled on the seductively shaped flesh. They weren&rsquo

With Isabelle's lowered gaze she didn't see the look in his eyes, but when he continued to stay still she braved a look at his face and what she saw made her feel pain. He looked almost disgusted peering down at her. She resisted the urge to whimper. She shifted back into her human form and stood up in front of him. Their gazes met and he looked away."Take your bath, and put some clothes on. I'm going to ring for some food to be brought up.  You need to eat whatever they bring for sustenance," he paused, still not looking at her, and walked around her. Isabelle swallowed a shaky breath. The pain in her heart increased. She thought he probably thought of her like an animal now just like everyone else, and not worthy of him. Pain tore through her. She reached for his cover clothes and wrapped them ar
