All Chapters of His Unwanted Mate : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

I left Kieran and his dad before they realised I was listening to their conversation, and I went back to my room. I was only being used. I wasn't anything special and I didn't need to feel special because none of it would last. I'd be discarded like a piece of paper once I'd fulfilled my purpose.A purpose I didn't even know yet. How was I sure I'd be able to do what they wanted? What did they want? Ralph had sounded like it was something big to ask from me and not having a clue as to what it was scared me. I knew I'd gone too deep to just pack up and leave. But did I even have a choice? I heard a knock on my door and I scrambled back into my bed pretending to still be asleep. I heard the knock again so I answered as I tried to sound sleepy. Esme walked in.“Good morning. My parents will be gone after breakfast so I thought you should join us”“Oh, okay. I need to get ready first”“Take your time”I rolled out of bed when Esme left. I got ready for breakfast with little zeal. I jus

As I stared at the picture in the locket, I realised it was the first time I'd seen anything relating to my dad in years. Why now? Why did mum suddenly decide to bring him up now? What had changed?“This, was the last picture we took as a family before we lost your dad…” Mum took a pause to refrain from tearing up, “I had decided to give it to you when you were older, and I think it's long over due. I was just scared to talk about him again especially in the past tense…”She placed the locket in my hands and covered my hand with hers. “I want you to keep it with you at all times, it'll be like having a piece of him with you. I know you don't remember much about him and that's partially my fault, I should've spoken to you about him more, and I will when it's time. But for now, I want you to know that he loved you so much and I do too. I want to try to make up for lost time, so I'll try to be around more henceforth”Mum took her hands away, her gaze never leaving me. I was at a loss fo

It had been 3 months since I learnt about Kieran's secret but it felt like just yesterday when I stood in his room in nothing but an oversized sweatshirt, staring him in the eyes as his face twisted and contorted into something beastly. A lot had changed since then. Slowly I'd become more involved in discussions of the supernatural. Things like that no longer surprised me, and in all that time my stalker hadn't returned. Perhaps she had gotten bored of toying with me. A part of me still wondered who she was. Since Jayden went missing, about 4 more cases had been reported, and unlike Jayden, these people were never found.Eventually, the mayor's office issued a curfew to keep people save. Everyone who'd gone missing was between the ages of 15 and 25 and they were all male. We were still trying to get leads related to Adam or the missing people but they'd all seemed to disappear without a trace.Mum was still barely at home during the week but she made up for her absence during the we

He had taken me by surprise. I considered taking his hand, but I knew he had a reason for asking to dance out of the blue.“Why?” I asked “You see those girls there?” I followed his eyes to a group of girls all lobbying in a corner with their eyes fixed on Kieran. “They were no doubt going to ask me to dance with them, and I'm not in the mood to be nice and chivalrous”“So you'd rather dance with me”“Yes, because you know that I'll actually snap your head off if you provoke me”“We both know you wouldn't do that, because you need me”“I'm sure we'll manage fine without you” He smirkedI rolled my eyes as I accepted, placing my hand in his. He placed his hand at the small of my back as he led me to the dance floor. I could feel my body tingling with excitement. I had never danced before so I didn't know exactly what I was supposed to do. “I don't know what to do,” I admitted timidly.Kieran didn't say a word as he placed both my arms around his neck and he put his own hands around

>After Kieran recounted what had happened with Jace, he stood to his feet while I remained folded on the bed. I officially had a bounty on my head.“What's the worst that will happen if I die?” I asked. Perhaps it was better to just end it all. Save ourselves the trouble.“The plague will come with or without you. This union between us is the only thing we have to stand against it”“Yeah, but how? How is us being together going to fight this thing? What's the catch? I know you haven't been completely honest with me and I know there's more to all of this. You need something from me specifically, so tell me what it is”“You shouldn't worry yourself with that now. In due time you'll know”I knew arguing or protesting wouldn't get me anywhere but it still hurt.“It's not fair keeping me in the dark like this…” I muttered beneath my breath.He didn't reply to that. Instead he said, “Don't go anywhere without informing me or Esme first”“Okay” I agreed willingly. “I'll take
