All Chapters of The Alpha's Reluctant Mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Warriors closed in on us. I looked over at Zander and saw fearlessness. He was prepared to fight for his life, despite the injuries from Maurice. Blood was still running out of his wounds. I worried that he would lose too much blood if he fought too long. Zander moved to stand back to back with me and said, "You ready to kick a lot of ass? We can take them.""Yeah I'm ready. Remember to stay close.""Don't worry. I wouldn't dream of getting away from you. I'll stay by your side."My heart fluttered at his words. I wished he didn't say things like that before a battle. I had so much more to say to him but couldn't.Warriors started charging towards us, brandishing wooden staffs and knives. It didn't seem fair, but I was strong enough to fight weaponless.A blonde girl swung her staff towards my face and almost hit me. I tried to swing my leg to kick her in the face. She dodged my attack and whacked me with the staff hard in the stomach. I stumbled back but didn't fall down.Whe

I took a break walking after a good distance. I gently set Zander down on some leaves on the ground. He was still unconscious but breathing a little bit more normally. That made me feel better.Hopefully, it wouldn't come to me needing to give him CPR. I knew what to do in that situation if Zander stopped breathing but I didn't want it to come to that. I was terrified that Zander would die under my care. Zander was healing very slowly, but his breathing wasn't as shallow as before. At least he wasn't getting worse. As far as I knew, no hospitals or civilization were anywhere nearby. It felt like forever since I'd seen a coffee shop or a mall.After Zander got better, we could go back to my pack. I wondered how my parents were. I hoped they weren't worried about me being away for so long. Pushing the thoughts away, I looked around. Was I close to the cabin?Maybe the cabin wasn't much further. I sure hoped it wasn't, since I was getting tired. Zander wasn't light. My arms were st

After kissing for who knew how long, Zander looked down at me. "You're so beautiful Cleo. I love you."I smiled at Zander and said, "I love you too."He smiled back at me and said, "Let me show you how much I love you."I turned bright red and nodded my head. Zander needed to relieve me of my strong urges.Zander got off of me and stood away from the bed. He unzipped his pants and threw them far from the bed. Zander gave a knowing smile and stared at me with a gaze that turned me on even more.Why was he teasing me so much? How long would he make me wait for him?I got off the top of the bed and climbed into it and waited for him to return.I hoped he wouldn't take long. I needed him in the bed with me. Zander had made me so hot. He had to give me what I wanted without holding back. If this was all a big tease, I'd kick him out of the cabin.Zander shouldn't start something he couldn't finish. He came back to me and hovered above me. Zander looked into my eyes, while slowly

My pulse raced as Zander continued to look at me. Why had he done this to me? I shouldn't have followed him out to this spot. I knew it was too romantic and secluded. No one had a chance of interrupting us. It felt like I had been tricked by Zander.I stood there in shock. I understood why he had brought me to such a romantic spot. Zander had planned this from the minute he had found me. I should've known something was fishy when he brought me to a place like that.What made him want to propose? This was so sudden. It was hard to believe that I used to find him irritating. My heart was racing so fast, and I felt like I was on cloud nine. Time had slowed down after I heard his proposal. Was I dreaming? Zander hadn't really proposed, had he? Maybe my subconscious made up the situation. I didn't recall Zander being a top notch romantic. Zander suddenly spoke up, "Did I strike you speechless?He snapped me out of my thoughts. I cleared my throat and replied, "Did I hear you right?

After we started walking for a while, I shifted and gripped my bag with my sharp canines. Zander followed my lead and shifted quickly. We started to run at a very fast speed. Zander and I had to return to the pack before the next nightfall.It may have been a couple miles when I caught a familiar scent. It was the old scent of my dad through the thicket of trees. We were finally getting close to our pack's territory. I felt a major sense of relief at being home again. I couldn't believe I was back after all this time away. I wondered if anything had changed during my absence. I shifted and didn't bother leaving Zander's side. We had already seen each other naked, and I didn't feel the need to be modest anymore. Zander shifted after me and moved next to me while I changed.His eyes fell on my lacy red bra and underwear before going to my eyes. "You make it so hard for me to let you be with someone else." Zander moved next to me and said, "You're so sexy that I almost can't control
