All Chapters of Mated to the Notorious Alpha: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Deimon cursed under his breath as the cold water pounded down on his back. He could hear Kate rustling around the room, likely putting away the finished assignment. The image of her slipping out of her bra had ignited a fire in him, and the shower wasn't doing much to quell it.Frustration gnawed at him. He wanted her, there was no denying it. But the vulnerability they'd shared earlier hung heavy in the air. He didn't want to be the jerk who ruined their newfound honesty with a clumsy attempt at intimacy.A sigh escaped him. Maybe a cold shower hadn't been the worst idea. He needed to cool his head, not just his body. If Kate wanted him, she'd make a move. And if she didn't, well, forcing things would only push her away.He finished his shower quickly, the silence in the apartment now deafening. He peeked out, expecting to find her asleep, exhausted from their long day. Instead, he found Kate sitting on the edge of the bed, her back turned to him, bathed in the soft glow o

The walk back to the apartment was a blur of churning emotions for Deimon. Monica's tearful pleas resonated with a strange honesty. Could she have been telling the truth? But if so, who was behind the warehouse incident and why target Kate?He burst into the apartment, his heart hammering in his chest. "Kate!" he called out, his voice laced with urgency. Relief washed over him as he found her sitting at the table, a mug of coffee untouched in front of her.She looked up, her eyes filled with a mix of apprehension and anticipation. "Deimon? You're back."He rushed to her side, his need to reassure her overwhelming. "I talked to Monica." The words tumbled out, the raw anger replaced by a desperate need for answers.Kate's jaw clenched for a moment, but then she nodded. "Did she… deny it?"Deimon hesitated. He didn't want to lie to Kate, but the flicker of genuine pain in Monica's eyes lingered in his mind. "She said… she said she wouldn't hurt you."Kate's face hardened. "Of course, she

Relief washed over Kate as the familiar sight of her apartment building greeted her. Anna, with a silent wave, deposited her right outside the door. The absence of Deimon's car in the parking lot caused a pang of disappointment, but the exhaustion gnawing at her overshadowed it."Thank you, Anna," Kate said, her voice hoarse but sincere. "For everything."Anna's gaze softened. "Get some rest, child. You'll need your strength when Deimon returns." A hint of a knowing smile played on her lips.With a final nod, Anna shimmered out of existence, leaving Kate alone on the doorstep. Taking a deep breath, she fumbled for her keys, the ordeal still fresh in her mind. The memory of Monica's cruelty, the fear of being trapped, sent shivers down her spine.But there was also the memory of Anna's intervention, a powerful force that had shifted the tide. A flicker of hope ignited within her. Deimon must be frantic, and with Anna ensuring her safety, she could finally focus on healing.Unlocking t

The winter break brought a flurry of activity to the academy. While snow dusted the grounds and festive cheer filled the halls, whispers swirled around the arrival of a new student – Gandal, the future Alpha of the Norse Pack and captain of their renowned hunting team.Excitement crackled in the air, especially for Anna. Gandal wasn't just any new student; he was her closest friend, someone she'd known and trusted since childhood. As the days ticked by, anticipation mounted, culminating in a joyous reunion on the school grounds.There, amidst the throng of students bundled in winter gear, Anna spotted a familiar figure. Gandal, his snow-dusted hair framing a mischievous grin, lumbered towards her. Their meeting was a whirlwind of hugs, playful banter, and shared memories.But the reunion wasn't solely theirs. As they parted ways, Anna's eyes met Kate's across the courtyard. A flicker of surprise danced in Kate's eyes, quickly replaced by a warm smile. It seemed Gandal was also an old

The apartment door slammed shut with a resounding bang, the sound echoing through the hallway long after Kate had disappeared inside. Deimon, his vision blurred by the remnants of alcohol and anger, stumbled after her. Reaching their room, he pushed the door open with a groan, the familiar space suddenly feeling suffocating.Kate stood before the window, her back turned to him. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and the harsh light cast long shadows that obscured her features. The air crackled with unspoken words and the raw sting of betrayal.Deimon cleared his throat, the sound harsh and grating in the tense silence. "Kate," he began, his voice thick with a desperate need to apologize, to explain.Kate spun around, her face etched with a mixture of anger and hurt that sent a pang of guilt through him. Her eyes, usually sparkling with warmth, were red-rimmed and glistening with unshed tears."Deimon," she said, her voice shaking with emotion, "What was that out there?"He opened his mo
