All Chapters of Never too late: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I’d been initially very surprised that Samuel wanted to see me. Earlier I had thought that he was ignoring me and trying to not come near me, or talk to me about Kyle’s future here but as the days went by, my suspicions solidified. I don’t know the man he has become but I had at least hoped that he would take responsibility for his being here, in his pack. I have done everything but directly accost him and my patience is wearing thin. Now that he has invited me and Kyle to his study, I don’t know what to think. I don’t know what I want him to say. I don’t know what I want. Sometimes, I think coming back here was a big and rash decision but we are here and I have observed some serious changes in Kyle’s energy and his wolf seems to be much calmer here. Ariel and Ben have settled in well. I will be lying if I would say I am at peace here but if my children are happy, then this is the least I could do for them. This is the least I could sacrifice for them.Having expectations and having n

Twenty years ago…It has now been a month since Samuel and I have been sneaking off to the lake during the night and violating curfews. If the alpha came to know about it, there would be some serious consequences for us. They would be much more severe for him. Sneaking into the night with the future alpha when he already has a girlfriend and is looking for his destined mate is very tricky. If anyone were to see us or know about it, it would be an extremely embarrassing feat for me and my family, especially when my father is in the upper echelon of the pack and is so close to the alpha. Somehow, all of the disastrous consequences escape my mind when I find Samuel sitting by the lake, waiting for me. Only I get to have this, to find him waiting for me, beside the lake shore, which has become our very own special place.I can feel my heart pounding harder the closer I get to the lake. I try to slow down, knowing that werewolves have keen senses and any snapping of twigs and crunching of

Twenty years ago…I know I didn’t have Samuel to myself for too long but not having him at all felt like a pain in my gut. And I may seem overdramatic but it is the truth. For the first few nights when we didn’t meet, I could feel the pain manifesting physically in my body through a spike in body temperature, excessive fatigue, and muscle pains. If I had been feeling better, I would have rejoiced at the idea that these withdrawal-like symptoms only happen when you spend time apart from your potential mate, like I’m being forced to do.I wanted to know how he was feeling. Was he sick like I was? Was his body missing me like my body was missing him? I didn’t know and to be honest, I was worried that I might not like the answer. After all, Samuel had his pregnant girlfriend to worry about. I’m sure I wasn’t even on his radar anymore. I’m sure that very soon, we’ll be having a pack meeting to announce the good news of expecting the potential alpha-in-line.I was so depressed that I didn’t

The thought of mandatory pack training scares the hell out of me. I have never been really good at fighting and thus, have never been interested in maintaining the ideal physical shape for it. I have never really been into this whole fighting scene and have hated training ever since I became eligible for it. Ever since I was a teenager, I have found ways to skip it and have used all kinds of excuses. At one time, my mom started wondering how could a girl have periods three times a month?! I’m not proud of everything I did to get out of it but it has always been like that.Even back home, it was mine and Brad’s thing, he always helped me get out of pack training by making the wildest excuses possible. It was our inside joke and we had a lot of fun while doing it. Brad’s absence hits me again and I realize with a bang that it has been some time since I have acutely felt his absence as I do right now. I mentally turn over the different possible excuses that I could give out to avoid any

Someone is incessantly knocking on my door in the middle of the night and it’s pissing me off. Why doesn’t anyone let me have some peace in this pack? I have to attend necessary pack training every day which I absolutely hate and I don’t even get to sleep comfortably at night when I’m this tired after breaking my back all day. I have to have a serious talk with Samuel about this. I need some peace here. I groan out loud and swing open the door to my room to find Aaron standing in front of me. “Do you even know what time it is right now?” I grumble at him, noticing how sleepy he looks. What’s so important is that Samuel has both of us out of our beds at this unreasonable time.“You should see how irritated Sophie is that I have to get up at this time just so I can get a message delivered to you!” Aaron huffs and my irritation decreases a little at seeing him like this. I guess it’s not just bad for me.“So, what’s the message?” I fold my arms across my chest suddenly remembering that
