Semua Bab My True Mate: Bab 71 - Bab 80

“Sarah!”His voice is tight and I barely have time to react before he grins me by my upper arms, pulling me up to my toes.His words are a desperate growl, “Stop it! Stop blocking me!”I stare up at his face and something inside me trembles. His pain does nothing to soothe my own internal rejection or the harsh slap of humiliation that he dealt me just hours ago.We’ve never crossed swords like this when he’s left me with a wound I don’t know how to treat. “Let go of me, Lucas,” I mutter, struggling to get out of his hold.However, his grip on me just tightens, his voice hoarse, “Put down your barriers then! Please, Sarah!”He never pleads and his words pierce me, making something in my chest twist almost painfully so.But lowering my shields, the very idea of allowing him access to my feelings and emotions makes me feel extremely vulnerable. “Lucas -““I’m sorry,” He lowers his head, resting his forehead against mine, his voice rough. “I don't know what

“What?”Everything goes still inside of me.”“The Clear Mountain Clan?”I hear the sharp intakes of breath from he two other people in the room.“You’re related to Sarah?” Lucas demands.“Related?” Ariel looks a little taken aback and then her eyes settle on my hair and a strange expression crosses her face, “You’re also from the Clear Mountain Clan? Which-?”“My biological mother was the Alpha’s daughter,” I respond, feeling odd. I never really thought I would ever come across my family, the one I never knew.“We’re cousins then,” Ariel gasps. “Your mother must be Miriam. She went missing nineteen years ago along with her mate. We looked for her but we never found her. Nor her mate. Grandfather was devastated.”I don’t really now how to feel.Ariel’s eyes shimmer with tears, “I’m so glad you’re safe. Where is-?”“They’re dead,” I say, quietly. “Oh,” Ariel mumbles. “She was a wonderful person. They both were.”Something occurs to me, “Wait. Hold

As the days go by, Kayla is coming more and more out of her shell, but she’s attached herself to me and Lucas. The security around the den and the territory has been upgraded even more. I'm not going to force my people to hide like cowards.So, life is returning to a more normal routine for the pack.However, just because they have begun to recover, doesn't mean that I can go at the same pace as them. “What do we have on the wolves we sent out?” Lucas asks me, a week later, during a meeting.I shake my head, "None of them have returned. I've tried summoning them but nothing. I don't think this is a task we can leave up to my wolves anymore. We’re going to need to send out a delegation.”Ted bristles, “Do you think it's a good idea? We still have eyes on our territory but outside of it, anybody who goes is fair game.”“Which is why I’ll go,” I say, loudly over the agreement of Ted’s words. “I have my wolves with me and-““Absolutely not!” Lucas snarls. “Not in your

On the surface, it looks like a very childish prank.A cruel one but childish.Not something an Alpha would involve himself in.It's usually the maternals who handle these things. And from the looks of the women around me, they clearly expect to step in.However, this is Kayla we’re talking about. Which makes this situation slightly different. “Hand when exactly did you see her?” I question Darleen who’s stiffens.“A-Around dinner,” She replies and my eyes narrow. “You are saying you saw her going into Silas's room.”All eye are on Darleen and she fidgets with her hands, admitting, “Well, not into it. But she was lingering around the area.”“During dinner?” I demand. “When she was sitting next to me the whole time?”“It could have been a little later,” She mutters before her eyes flash and she glares up at me, “What does it matter? She hurt one of ours! A child may be young but it is still part of the pack! How can a human child have the audacity-““D

“We’ve not found any traces,” Jared says, tightly. “They entered the territory alone, in this condition.”My hand curls into a fist at his words.Ted and Hank study me, “Now what?”I can still feel Lucas’s presence inside of me which means he’s alive but when I focus on it, I can’t really feel his emotions. He's not blocked me. I would have known if he had.“I'm going to go look for him,” I say firmly.“No!” Ted looks reluctant. “Sarah, the pack-““You are going to act in my stead like you did last time,” My words are fierce. “I have to find Lucas. You would do the same if this was your mate.”I see his eyes flicker over where Tina is standing and he lets out a breath, “Then take some soldiers with you.”I shake my head, “No. I’ll have my wolves.”After giving him some instructions, I add, “Keep an eye on Ariel.”Before heading to my room, I make a stop at Joseph’s quarters.“Here,”I hand him a thick device.”“This is a phone,” He blinks. “You know w
