All Chapters of Chosen By The Alphas : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

It was a light touch to my arm that brought me back from my place of deep, self-reflective thoughts and self-loathing. I turned my gaze to see Grey watching me, the hint of worry in his moon-colored eyes. I realized I had zoned out and missed whatever conversation just passed. But by the way Lily had placed herself in-between her brother and her mate with a fierce scowl on her face, my guess was I had missed quite the spirited conversation in my mental absence. I forced a smile on my face so Grey would not sense my plummeting mood and be any more concerned. He would try and fix it, make it his personal mission to turn my frown upside down, slay all my demons, and cure my depression. But they had all kept me shitty company for so long, I could not imagine my life without my self-hatred, anger, and sadness. They were parts of me now and weaved down deep into the fabric of what remained of my blackened soul. And he did not deserve to have the weight of all my baggage on him too. I wrap

As I laid next to Grey, our heartbeats and breath fell into the same rhythm, and I felt an intimate closeness to him. More so than when we had been physically joined only moments before. Now our humanity was at the surface, our need to be loved and touched and understood, to matter. My emotions surged like the rising, gentle lunar tide of Cold Lake, only a few miles away from where our bodies molded together like one in the night. My lust for my mate had come right away, that primal attraction, but my love for Grey had come more softly and slowly. Sometimes a steady breeze had more impact than a windstorm. We soaked up all we heard and felt in the human silence, the songs of the forest, the falling dew against our skin as the night air cooled, both of us bathed in sweat and the light of The Moon, with the promise of tomorrow’s possibilities. I had never felt this way before, even when I believed I was in love with the boy I gave my virginity to seven years ago. I should have been fr

When I broke the kiss, I got hella satisfied to see my chosen mate’s lips plump and rosy, and he was breathless. He traced my cheek with his fingers.“Anything else I can do for you?” he grinned at me.“Later. We have hungry people to fee-”“Waitress?” Kate snapped her fingers, “hello? Disgusting. You’re making out with the help instead of doing your job. Can we order now or what? We’ve been in here for an hour and you still haven’t even brought us that drink list. I demand to see your manager now! This is unacceptable.”“Worst service ever in this dump,” added the brunette who looked like her face was permanently pinched together, “we had better get our food for free after being kept waiting so long.”I patted my mate on the shoulder to reassure him I had this. Grey left me to handle it, almost looking sorry for Hate Kate and her twat posse, before he returned to the kitchen. I was glad he had faith in me not to settle this in the way typical of our kind.“I apologize for the wait. A

I was still a sentimental fool as I made my way home with Grey. I thought about all the people that had been waiting in my corner, and had been there for me, even when I had not made it easy to be. Even when I was a rude bitch who lashed out far more than I should have to people who often did not deserve my vitriol. I was especially guilty of treating beings with a dick with extreme prejudice and unfairly. But at least I had not scared off the male by my side yet. And I could do better, be better. Anything was possible and today was a new day. I snuggled closer to Grey and took in a deep breath of fresh air. He kissed the top of my head as we cut across my lawn. Tom eyed us from the porch, letting out a howl to tell us to get a move on so he could have his breakfast. It was likely he had already found some poor sucker to feed him down in town by flashing those big brown eyes up at them. But he would eat until he burst. “You have a good, loyal pack at your back here Onie,” said Grey.

My Alpha mate and I were locked in an intense battle of wills as we stared each other down. I would not be the first one to break. I refused to advert my eyes. An Alpha hated direct eye contact for long periods of time, it was seen as disrespect, or a challenge. I was stubborn and full of pride, and this shit was personal. Roam would not possess me, he would not own me, and I would not even let him have my body again if he did not Come To The Moon and make some serious changes in his attitude towards females for a start. My pussy and my heart did not always have my best intentions, and I would let neither rule me on this anymore. Defiantly, I held my chin and my gaze high. Finally, Roam huffed out a breath, “That is a fight for another day, mate. Today I come in peace. As do my brother Slate, his mate Hyacinth, and their cubs Ash and Vaiana. They would like to visit with Randon.” I snorted, “You come in peace? Sure, could have fooled me. Why didn’t you start with that rather than i
