All Chapters of Detty Mates: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Serenity’s POVBringing my car to a halt in front of the exquisite structure, I sat in my car beholding its beauty for a while. For a moment, I wondered what I was thinking come here. And then it hit me - a fresh start is what I need. Without having to always answer to Brady or stay under his watchful gaze. Without having to tolerate Lottie and how she always wants to rub it in my face that my brother is hers.I’m here now and I need to focus on the goal at hand; while also not getting in trouble or becoming a rogue for transgression.At that moment, my wolf strengthened my resolve as I neared the door. Opening and closing the door behind me, a voice towered over me from the staircase. I looked to see a man - around the age of my father. “Serenity, I have long waited for you.”Confusion placated my face; not understanding what he meant by that. I didn’t even know him. Either Brady or my parents must know him.Moving nearer the door, I said, “You seem to know me.”“Silly child! You be

Serenity’s POVMy hands became shaky in anticipation of seeing my brother as Luna Bella ushered me towards the front door. As soon as we approached the door, I stood transfixed when I saw a male just a few years older than me. His eyes instantly locked mine, and my hands wouldn’t move. Not because I was no longer anxious about meeting my brother. But from the sight of the male standing a few distance across me. I prayed to the moon goddess that this couldn’t be my brother. Unholy thoughts swarmed my mind. Thoughts not meant for a brother.A smile curved his lips as he walked in my direction. “Who am I seeing? Serenity! It’s you!” He said as he threw me into his arms and swung me around in a playful manner - Luna Bella had to laugh at the sheer joy of seeing the two siblings reunite.That swinging did no good as I began to melt under his touch.“Gavin put her down.” I heard another masculine voice say, and relief washed over me that the man who threw me in his arms wasn’t Bentley, my

Serenity’s POVAfter we had finished dinner, I went to my room for the night. It had been a long day, and my body felt it. When I turned the knob to my room, I couldn’t help but be in awe at the sight of my room. The king-sized bed was the most incredible seduction. It kept calling to me.It took me a few minutes to shower and change into my nightie before I climbed the bed.The fresh bedsheet felt like I was lying on heaven’s couch, and the numerous pillows soothed my exhausted body. Looking up at the ceiling, I noticed a mural painting on it. I found it fascinating. The pointillism and brushwork told me it was impasto. A 19th-century painting of the moon goddess Selene features thin brush strokes and a depiction of light. Two wolves stayed on each side of Selene. And a full moon looking down on them.It seemed as though the moon goddess was joining the two wolves in holy matrimony.I wondered if the two wolves were Luna Bella and Alpha Atticus. They must have a beautiful love story

Gavin’s POVWhen I heard the screaming and whimpering from next door, I rushed to her without hesitating—the sight of her injured me.I knew there was only one explanation for her pain, and it had to be a severed mate bond. I was waiting for her to say it, but she wouldn’t.Mother had informed me about Brady being her soul mate. But I could see they couldn’t be together, which would be awkward. I could also speculate that - Brady must have had a girlfriend he was seeing and sleeping with.Not once did she mention his name during our conversation, but I could decipher she didn’t want to step foot in Black Gem. I could see how much pain that place represented for her. All because of Brady.Even though the mate bond could never happen, I felt Braydhad mishandled things.It wasn’t his sister’s fault that they were fated mates.He should have done so if he wanted to reject her, properly sparing her the pain whenever he mated with his girlfriend.That explained why she panicked when I stated

Serenity’s POVAfter finishing dinner, I excused myself to step outside and went in the direction Luna Bella described. It’d have been faster to give it a run, but my wolf did not feel like it. Since the night of my birthday, she had been lying dormant in there. Whenever the pain came, she engulfed most of it. And such pain can sap strength. Now imagine if I didn’t have my wolf. I’d have died under the influence of pain.My wolf felt more pain about our mate. I knew she’d need a lot of time to get herself together.I needed time as well.The night was creeping in fast, and I knew I had quite a distance to cover, so I quickened my pace in human form, trying to get there before the moonlight dimmed out.My legs were beginning to ache in the process. I hardly bothered to run in human form, and I felt the weight of my legs from trying to do so tonight.The sound of flowing water filled the air around me, and I knew I’d soon reach my destination.Finally, my pathway gave way, and I entere
