All Chapters of HIS UNWORTHY MATE: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

~REIGN~We’ve been searching the woods for over twenty-four hours, yet there was no sign of her pup.My mate, whose name I still haven’t gotten the chance to know, reluctantly climbed on my back to ride on my wolf yesterday.I had jumped into action when she bolted out of the bedroom yesterday, and she had thrashed vehemently against my hold while I tried to get her to calm down.She had been loud and unwilling to listen, and when I eventually got her to calm down with a kiss I hadn’t even planned, she tried goading me to anger. There was no reason for me to tell her that the kiss with her was my first kiss.She had pointed in the direction of the south lake when we got into the woods and I had taken off. Finding the cave, she hid her pup in had been a hassle. She had almost let out a sigh of relief when we found the cave, except her pup was gone.My mate had crumbled right there with a high-pitched cry filled with anguish that tore at every protective seam of my heart.I never knew a

~JADE~I knew the moment he left his usual spot, even though I couldn’t see much now that I was further inside the cave. It was hard to miss him keeping guard out there for the past four days that I’ve been here.He probably thought he was good at hiding behind the trees, but there was no way anyone could miss the sheer intimidating size of his wolf, and even if by luck that was possible, the colour of his wolf was impossible to miss.When he offered to let me ride him five days ago so I could bring him here, I wasn’t sure what surprised me more when we got into the woods, and he shifted into his wolf form. First, the size of his wolf had been a scare, and I would’ve probably bolted and run for my life if I hadn’t reminded myself every ten seconds that he was the one helping me to find my son. And then I registered the colour of his wolf; it was the same colour as his eyes when he had gotten angry and gone all Alpha on me in his living room.I had never seen a wolf of that colour befo

~HUNTER~“So, you think that by calling me here and feeding me with your lies, I’ll simply abandon Arya as my chosen partner? And this all stems from your anger and envy that your ex is doing better than you expected with an Alpha, something you will never be. What a pitiful excuse for a man you are.” I declared with disdain, shaking my head as I strode towards the door.Arya had already warned me that he would become angry if he discovered she was now with me. I chose not to reveal to her that he was the person I was meeting, as I did not want to cause her any concern. Nevertheless, her insights into his jealous nature were accurate, and now he is trying to deceive me with his lies as a means of retaliation against her, despite being the one who had caused her harm.Coming here was a waste of my time especially for a resentful man who remains fixated on his ex, after his actions cost me my relationship.“Perhaps I am a better man than you are.” I heard him declare, and I halted.“Wha

~ARYA~“It will help you keep up the facade, at least for the next months. If you were still pregnant, you would be showing already. Hunter is an Alpha, and as you said, he might soon find out about the absence of a second heartbeat.”“And what will that in your hand do?”“Make believe. You’ll smell like an expecting mother, and your stomach will grow to a believable size. Simply put, once it is inside your body, it will take on the likeness of a growing fetus,” he explained, and I nodded.“Great. Get on with it. How do you get it inside me?”“I must warn you, though.”I sighed heavily. “What is it again?”“If things go sideways, I do not have a hand in this. I still think it is wrong to deceive the Alpha; what you’re doing is risky, and if he finds out,"I stared at him for a few minutes, shaking my head and I burst out in laughter. “If he finds out, you’re going down with me. There is no backing out of this now, Jace. You are in this with me, and if you don’t want this to blow up in

~JADE~ Tears streamed down my face as I accepted every spoonful of porridge he offered me. Try hard as I may, I couldn’t shake off the guilt weighing down on me. Even if my pup wasn’t dead yet, it didn’t negate the fact that he was still out there with a stranger who wouldn’t know how to care for him. The wound on his hip hasn’t closed up yet because it’s still healing, and without proper care, it would take longer than usual for it to heal. Already, I didn’t have the means to care for the wound properly, but I still made sure to clean it every day and wrap it, hoping that his wolf blood would at least help him heal faster, even though he was just as malnourished as his mother. And I was eating when I didn’t even know if he had anything to eat yet. He is only a month old, and he needs breast milk; he needs me; he needs his mother. I broke down in a sob, unable to accept more of the porridge. My heart just couldn’t take it anymore, and I wished I had just died that evening. At least
