All Chapters of My Alpha Mate Wants Me Back: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

************We ride in silence, and aside the constant cooing of birds and the flaps of their wings, coupled with the animals darting about the forests, weaving through the trees and hiding behind the trunks as we pass by, I see and hear nothing else. I hover atop the saddle, keeping my thighs still to minimize contact with the horrible thing. I wonder if I'll ever like riding. Maybe I should have taken the carriage."A little further and we'll reach the borders of Aldenwood," Lloyd says, breaking the silence. He slows his beast's pace to match mine. "We should stop for camp. It'd be dangerous to be close to the borders at night.""How long until we reach?" I ask, wiping the sweat rolling down my neck irritably."Five days tops." He leans over, brushing his fingers of my horse's rear. "Three if we ditched the horses and ran all the way, but you can't shift.""No, I can't.""About last night --""I don't want to talk about last night."He raises his hands in the air, clearly frustrat

Licking the water off my chapped lips, a sudden thirst overwhelms me. I push myself into a seating position, itching both my wrists and the binds around them that I had nearly succeeded in getting off last night. The complicated knots have been reinforced. Thrice. I glare at Farrow, who has his scarf is back on. “Up.”“I need to relieve myself, and wash up.” I seriously doubt the oldest trick in the book would work against him, but there’s no harm trying. “Untie my hands at least.”He cuts me a dark look that says, “Do I look stupid to you?”“I’m going pee on myself, and then you’ll be forced to inhale the reek of it all day, all night, for as long as you’re stuck with me.” He still doesn’t look bothered. “You can keep watch, but I need to pee. Right now.”He yanks me up, adjusting the binds. When he’s satisfied with his work, he points south. “You have one minute.”Dragging my ass down the path, looking for a suitable spot is harder than normal with the ropes around my ankles, and I’

I stare hard at Lloyd as he makes his way over to my desk. “You shouldn’t be back for another five days.”His green eyes are angry and tired. “I suppose I wouldn’t be if she didn’t run off.” He collapses in the chair opposite from mine. “She’s gone Kier.”I sit up straighter, the pen in my hand snapping in half. “What do you mean…gone?”“I gave her a bathroom break, and that was it,” he growls, rubbing his hands over his face. “I combed the area in fright that she might have been taken, but I found a note by the stream.” He pulls out a white sheet from his front pocket, and hands it to me.My fingers tremble as I calmly take it from him and read from it. I changed my mind. Darrock is an amazing man, way more pleasant looking than you and Kier put together. I’ll be his Luna. Tell Kier he can rot in hell with his shrimp of a Luna. Don’t look for me. – JH.Frowning at the arrogant scrawling, I retrieve Jessamine’s last note to me and compare the writings. They are not at all alike. I sni

We pass the night at an inn, and against my will to stay awake the entire night, I sleep like a child, waking only when Darrock pounds on my door the next morning, threatening to break it down if I didn’t come out. I was given all of ten minutes to shower and put on his clothes that now reeked of sweat and hell knows what.We journey out after a quick meal and we barely speak to each other the rest of the way. Or stop to rest. I move along tiredly, and find myself asking after every minute if we’ve reached yet. He stops responding at some point and I stop asking, focusing on making my feet work.The only indication that we are somewhere different is the sudden shift between scorching hot sun and a heavy downpour. Darrock keeps moving like it’s nothing, and I’m forced to trail behind him, shivering, teeth clattering with my hands wrapped tightly around my bag. I’m unsure how long we walked for, but when we stop before a set of enormous gates, I’m soaking down to my underwear, the fabri

The bumping stops and the back of my hands clutch the edge of the seat hard. I am not leaving this carriage.Caspian releases a ragged sigh and slips out. The door creaks shut behind him and soft footsteps approach my door. It is pried open and Darrock peeks inside. “You can walk in like a lady or risk embarrassment while I carry you in, and I promise, it won’t be anything pretty.”“Fuck off,” I let my eyes say. Darrock sighs. “You refuse everything I offer, Violet. It hurts my pride.” His wrists snap without warning, and the gag is suddenly off my mouth, the ropes that bind my wrists loosened. Huge hands grab me, hurling me out of the carriage, and firm lips crush against mine.I snap my teeth together, biting hard on his bottom lip, but he only groans, holding me in place as he assaults my mouth with a tongue that is smooth like velvet. When the Goddess created his mouth, it was to seduce women. His kisses aren’t wild like Kier’s, neither do they raze me with desire and need. Darro
