บททั้งหมดของ FATED MATES IN THE SHADOWS: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

CHAPTER TWELVEMy legs seemed to give out beneath me, and I slid down the wall, my knees bending as I collapsed to the floor.Tears flowed freshly from my eyes as I lay there, my body shaking with sobs.I couldn't move, couldn't think. I was trapped, and I knew it. The weight of my situation crushed me, and I felt myself drifting off to sleep, my mind numb and my body exhausted.I dreamed of a hidden cave, dimly lit and eerily quiet. A figure in a black cloak stood before me, its face obscured by the shadows. Yet, despite the obscurity, I sensed an ancient presence, a being who had lived for centuries.As I looked around, I realized we were alone. The cave was empty, except for the two of us. And then, our eyes met. His gaze was piercing, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. There was a likeness in his eyes, a familiarity that I couldn't quite place.I had heard stories of rogues, of their cunning and ruthlessness. But this being, despite his resemblance to them, seemed different. H

CHAPTER FOURTEEN He was going to kiss me again, and I was going to let him. But he didn't, he stretched out his hand as he pulled me in.As Mr Orion's arms wrapped around me, I felt myself being lifted off the ground. My legs instinctively wrapped around his waist, as my feet dangled in the air. I was suspended in mid-air, as my body pressed against his, and his eyes locked on mine. I felt a rush of excitement mixed with a hint of fear as I realized how vulnerable I was in that moment. But Mr Orion's gaze was reassuring, his eyes burned with a passion that made me feel safe. He held me close, as I could feel his hard chest through his cloth as his hands supported my weight, and I felt like I was melting into him. My heart raced as I realized how easily he could overpower me, but instead, he held me with a gentleness that made me feel safe as I got comfortable in his arms. I had never felt this way before, like my body was surrendering to a stranger. I had never been this close

CHAPTER SIXTEENI knew I had to be careful, i had to keep my identity hidden from prying eyes. I grabbed my black hooded sweatshirt and my black nose mask, the tools of my secret trade. I couldn't let my father suspect a thing, or he'd be furious. But I had a responsibility to my people, to keep them safe, even if my wolf was still dormant. I pulled on the sweatshirt and mask, feeling a sense of anonymity wash over me. I was no longer the Alpha's son, but a shadow, a protector. I ran down the stairs, my footsteps as silent as possible, as my eyes scanned the darkness for any sign of danger. I had a mission to complete, and I couldn't let anyone stand in my way.________I stepped out into the night, as the cool breeze caressed my skin and sent shivers down my spine. I ran towards the outskirts of my mansion, as the trees stood high above me like sentinels. The wind rustled through the leaves, and my heart kept beating hard in my chest. I had to see it for myself, the strange e

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN I sustained a deep gash on my leg, and as I fell to the ground, I felt a searing pain that made my vision blur. Beta Jay came to my rescue, fighting off the rogues with ferocity. But even as he fought, I could sense his weakness, and his vulnerability. He was no match for the rogues' strength, and I knew that we were in grave danger. My father joined the fight, and together, they managed to kill all the rogues, but one escaped, fleeing into the woods. And then, I saw the direction he was heading - straight for my mansion on the outskirts of our town and pack. I had immediately forgotten my pains, as I suddenly sprang to my feet. I sprinted after the rogue, as my heart raced with a mix of anger and fear. I couldn't let him get away, not when I knew Selene was alone in the mansion. I had to protect her, no matter what. I pushed myself to run faster, with my legs pumping hard as I chased after the rogue. I could hear his footsteps ahead of me, but I didn't dare l

CHAPTER TWENTYI gritted my teeth, determined not to show weakness in front of Ryker. 'I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't care,' I spat, trying to sound braver than I felt. Ryker's laughter grew louder, more maniacal, and I felt my heart race with fear. 'Oh? You really don't care?' he sneered. 'You die...' he whispered, his laughter cutting off abruptly. I felt a jolt of terror, and I screamed 'No!' but it was too late. I was already jolting awake, as my heart beat raced, and my bedsheets were already drenched in sweat. I lay there, panting, as the morning sun struggled to peek through the curtains. I let out a sigh of relief, realizing it was just a dream. But the memory of Ryker's maniacal laughter lingered, haunting me. Making me worry more for my safety and that of my people as Selene was important too. Oh, speaking of Selene! I hadn't seen her since I left her yesterday night, locked up in the room. I sighed softly as I pulled myself on the bed to sit a
