All Chapters of Entangled Fates : The Alpha's Reluctant Mate: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Karen She looked ahead and realized they were approaching a large old wooden house. Although it looked like any other house, she could feel the charismatic presence of the wolf. But it didn't feel scary at all. When they stopped a few meters from the house, Karen blinked in surprise at the sight of a man with white hair but a youthful look on his face. As he gently sat her down beside him, the old man said, "Xavier. It's good to see you again, and sooner than I expected." He turned his eyes to Karen and smiled kindly at her. "And who is this lovely lady?" "Benjamin, this is Karenina Mason, guardian of the Sacred Moonstone," Xavier replied. He was about to introduce her as his betrothed mate, but quickly decided against it. He did not want to be seen fighting with his mate in public. If she felt the need, she could argue with him in private, but he didn't want to see a public display of discord. He doubted he could handle it. "Yes, I sense an ominous presence around you, little gir

Xavier "Once it reaches your heart - I have no doubt that outcome is inevitable at this point - the energy of the wolf aura will try to transform you," he said, speaking directly to Karen. "This energy is trying to turn your hybrid blood into the blood of a full-fledged she-wolf, not just a weak she-wolf, but a strong she-wolf." "Is this transformation inevitable?" she asked, emotion clogging her throat. Seeing her distress, Xavier approached and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her gently but firmly to his side. She did not fight him, but fell back against him, her right hand running across his body, the palm of her hand resting on his stomach. "I don't know," Benjamin replied, a worried expression clearly visible on his face. "Your spiritual energy is very strong, stronger than most priestesses in this territory now and before. All I know is that once your spiritual energy reaches your heart, the war between your auras will begin. Depending on how strong your wolf a

Karen It wasn't really his words that made her stop, but his unusual tone. He sounded... sad, remorseful, even hurt. She had never heard him sound like that before. He hugged her even tighter, his fingers sinking into her dark brown hair as he wrapped his hands around the back of her skull. "I can't let you go, Karen." The thought of letting her go, of letting her walk away from him, tore his heart apart. Pain like he had never felt before crashed into his chest, squeezing the organ that pumped life's blood through his body. "Just the thought of letting you go... I can't. It's like there's a stabbing pain in my chest that tells me I'm bleeding, but there's no visible physical wound." Suddenly, his words took her breath away; after hearing the painful truth in his voice, he finally spoke with some sincerity. "You know, you're not entirely correct in your assessment of my motives towards you. Yes, I admit that when I first saw you, I only saw a prize, a perfect mate. Even in your c

Xavier Their peace and quiet were interrupted when a dark-haired man ran towards them with a cocky grin plastered on his face. He didn't stop until he was standing in front of Karen, his muscular arms wrapping tightly around her. "Karenina! How's my woman doing? Did you miss me?" "Uh, hello, Kayden," she replied in a low voice, her face pressed against his chest. Seeing this scene, his eyes narrowed dangerously, his hands clenched as he imagined tearing off the man's limbs for daring to touch what belonged to him. "Let go of Karenina right now," he ordered, his tone of voice mixed with irritation. He almost called her his mate, but quickly refrained, not wanting to upset her again by claiming her, a claim she had denied. At that thought, Xavier forced himself not to physically remove the brash man, knowing he had no right to do so in her eyes. As he gritted his teeth, Xavier was agitated again, eager to show her, to prove to everyone that she was his...but was she? Even though

Karen Later that afternoon, while out in the garden with Raine, she saw the child playing happily, even trying to ask Helga to dance with her, much to her amusement. Karen raised her hands to hide her grin, trying and failing to look sympathetic in front of a disappointed Helga. Helga gave her a quick look, begging to be saved, and with a small laugh she couldn't contain, Karen got to her feet, intending to help her friend by distracting the excited child. Just as she took the first step to intervene, her eyes widened, her breath caught in her throat as if she had been punched in the face, and she froze. Someone was here, barely noticed among the many different auras of scent emanating from Xavier's pack house, but undoubtedly he was here. Without thinking or warning her friends, she turned on her heel so fast that the bones in her ankle cracked and ran towards the front gate guarding the mansion, almost tripping over the clothes Helga had put on. She tried to grab a few strands
