All Chapters of FATED MATES IN THE SHADOWS: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWOThe drive to Venus was a blur, as my mind was lost in thought. It took us thirty minutes to reach the town, and as we entered the familiar streets, my mind wandered back to childhood memories. My mom would take me out on weekends, and we'd spend hours exploring the town, playing with human children. I remembered running around with Beta Jay, who was much older than me, but he never treated me like a kid. He took me under his wing, and we became inseparable. We'd chase each other through the streets, laughing and shouting, carefree and wild. Those were happy times, times I thought I'd left behind. But now, as I returned to Venus, everything seemed to look like yesterday.My nostalgic reverie was cut short as the driver's voice broke through my thoughts. 'We're here, sir,' he announced, as his eyes met mine in the rearview mirror. I nodded in response. We had arrived at the hospital. I took a deep breath, preparing myself for what lay ahead. I opened the door an

CHAPTER THRITY-FOUR 'After that, Ryker went after his own brother, Selene's father. He brought him down, and then...he came for the Midnight Eclipse pack.' My father's gaze dropped, as his voice sounded like whisper. 'That's where i met your stepmother, Evelyn. She's a pure blood, the beta of the Midnight Eclipse pack, and the only survivor of Ryker's attack. The moon goddess chose her as my second mate.' My father's eyes met mine, as he stared helplessly at me. 'Ryker now controls the Silver Moon pack and the Midnight Eclipse pack. And with their combined strength...' He sighed loudly, as his shoulders slumped in defeat. I listened, as my mind reeled with the secrets that had been kept from me. My heart raced with anger and shock, but I kept my cool, determined to hear the rest of the story before reacting. My father's eyes seemed to gaze into the distance, his voice came out as it was like he was whispering. 'Mrs. Claire, Selene's maid...she's the next target, Orion. H

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIXOne moment we were exchanging gentle morning greetings, and the next, she was fleeing from me like I was a monster. I shook my head, trying to make sense of her sudden behavior, but I couldn't come up with anything. I just sat there, feeling confused and concerned.I stood up, as my mind still reeled from Selene's sudden departure. I decided I needed some time to process everything before trying to talk to her again. I made my way to my room, as my legs felt heavy with exhaustion. I had to rest and gather my thoughts before I could even begin to narrate the events of the previous day to her. I flopped down on my bed, as my body sank into the softness of the mattress. I closed my eyes, letting out a deep breath, and let sleep claim me once again.I slept deeply, only to be woken by a knock on my door. I stirred, adjusting myself in bed, and opened my eyes to see the clock on my nightstand. It was past lunchtime. I couldn't believe I had slept so long. 'How did I

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT_MR. ORION_Mrs. Claire stood her ground, her expression firm. "I was protecting you, Selene. I didn't want you to know until you were ready."Selene's voice rose in anger. "Ready? Ready for what? To find out that my whole life has been a lie?"I watched as Selene's anger and frustration poured out, as her words tumbled out in a torrent. Mrs. Claire stood up to Selene, as yelled in a firm voice. "Selene, sit down and stop acting like a child."Selene's eyes blazed with fury as she laughed sarcastically, as her voice dripped with disdain. "Oh, great advice from the woman who's been lying to me my whole life!"She took a step closer to her aunt, as her eyes flashed with anger. Mrs. Claire took a step back, as tears welled up in her eyes.Selene's friends watched in amazement as Selene's behavior suddenly changed. She began to throw questions at her aunt, as her words were filled with mockery. "So, you're telling me that my whole life has been a lie? That I'm some

CHAPTER FORTY_Anabelle's POV_I stormed out of Orion's mansion the other day, my anger and frustration getting the better of me. I thought he would call me, apologize, and we would move past our argument like we always did. But the days went by, and my phone remained silent. No calls, no texts, nothing. It was unusual for Orion to ignore me like this, and I couldn't help but wonder if he was truly mad at me.I confided in my mom, who advised me to swallow my pride and apologize to Orion. She reminded me that our relationship was worth fighting for, and that I shouldn't let my temper get the best of me. So, I took her advice and tried calling Orion countless times. But he never picked up. It was as if he had blocked my number or was intentionally avoiding me.I felt a mix of emotions - anger, hurt, and confusion. Why was Orion doing this? Didn't he care about our relationship anymore? I thought we had something special, something worth fighting for. But now, it seemed like he was will
