All Chapters of My Nerd Mate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

He just couldn't sleep, his eyes as open as daylight. The more he tried to close them, the more they refused to. "I feel lonely, even when you are around. That's because you have been acting strange to me lately. Sage, do you love me?" Her voice had played in his head for the umpteenth time. The more he tried to downplay what she had said, the more worried and restless he was. He was worried that his refusal to tell her what he was keeping away from her was beginning to affect their relationship and that there was nothing he could do about it. "Damn it!" he cursed. Just then, Aurora walked in, looking a lot calmer than she was a few minutes ago. She sat by the edge of the bed, looking directly at him. He looked away. …and then she began… "I know you think I'm stubborn and that I am probably too naive to understand what…" "Oh, no, Aurora, you are not naive and I will never think of you as one," he cut in. "Then what is it?!" "You won't understand, at least, not now. My love_"

"Focus, Sage, focus!" Aurora shouted at Sage who kept leaping at the rogues. "Just follow my lead and you all will be fine," she told other shifters that seemed to be retreating. "Their leader is mine," Sage's mind linked them as he broke the line and attacked anyone who crossed his path with such fury. He only had his eyes on one prize. "Attack!" Aurora barked, going after the rogues. Even as she attacked them, she had her eyes on Sage, watching out for him to ensure he was not in some sort of danger. The fight soon ended, and most of the rogues were taken down, while those who managed to escape did so with varying degrees of injury. "I told you he's mine; let him be," Sage mind linked Derrick, interrupting him as he made to shift. "What do you need him alive for?" he asked, surprised. "As a bait Derrick." "Are you fine?" Aurora requested when she got beside Sage. Not saying a word to her, Sage turned his attention to the rogues that stayed lying on the ground, writhing in p

"Get the cottage decorated, and dinner ready," Sage mind linked Rae. He has decided to pave his way into her heart with dinner since she didn’t want to forgive him after countless apologies and little compliments whenever she had given him a chance to move close to her without moving away. He opted to do little things even though it was just dinner at the cottage.He knew it was best if they didn’t head back there. He had confirmed from Rea through the mind link that they weren’t through and he didn’t want anything to ruin his surprise which would have been an obstacle to her forgiveness. Going for a run was the best way he could stall her so he offered the overture to her, "Why don’t we go for a run?" he smiled nervously, afraid she wasn’t going to agree to the idea and end up deciding they head back.Looking at him skeptically, she tried to figure out what he was up to. She made it clear she hadn’t forgiven him. Didn’t he get the message? Or the silent treatment didn’t work their tr

After Fennick left, Sage shifted his gaze to the cluttered papers on his desk. The weight of his responsibilities as Pack Alpha suddenly settled heavily upon him. He bit as the thought of how he had neglected Pack matters for too long clouded his mind. Looking upon the paperwork arranged neatly on the table, they somehow threatened to engulf him. All these while he had neglected Pack duties for his mate's sake. He had refused to check out how the Pack was doing and even piled up things that were meant to be done. He sighed and started to pick the files one after the other yet, something told him he wasn't going to do anything if he kept checking through the books. He decided to sort for his Beta. “I need you in my office,” he commanded with a swift mindlink. Only Rae could help him out with things.Rae arrived promptly. "Alpha, what's urgent?" Rae asked, shutting the door behind him.Sage gestured to the sea of papers. "This,” he countered. “This is wrong. I've not touched them or g

Sora's eyes locked onto Sage's, her voice barely above a whisper. "An evil sorcerer cast a spell on her because of her mother's wrongdoing," Sora started, her face turning all gloomy instantly. Someone could tell that she was deeply hurt by what happened to Aurora. She added. “My innocent granddaughter knew nothing about the agreement both the witch and her mother had but she's the one suffering from it,” she countered, her gaze lowered to the cup of coffee she was holding. Sage's grip on his cup tightened as she said those words to him. Aurora's mother? Having a deal with a Sorcerer? "I don't understand, Sora. What exactly did her mother do and what bargain did she have with a sorcerer?" Sage asked, his tone urgent.Sora's expression turned grave. "I don't know what happened exactly between them but all I can say is that the sorcerer believed that she was betrayed by Octavia, Aurora's mother,” she relayed. “But I’m sorry, I can't tell you more than this,” she concluded, trying not t
