All Chapters of Wanted by her Mates.: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Dawn’s POV:Even though I had no idea where I was headed, I continued to walk as tears streamed down my face, blurring my vision.I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that my entire life had been a lie and while I felt hurt that I had been kept in the dark for so long, I also couldn’t bring myself to be mad at Dad or mom- or maybe I was a little mad at mom for dropping the bombshell on me the way she did- but oh well, that was a story for another day.As I walked, the tears continued to roll down my face and there was nothing I could do about it. A few passers-by even flashed sympathetic smiles at me but somehow, that didn’t make me feel any better. If anything, I felt worse!I wiped my face with the back of my hands as I plopped into one of the chairs in the abandoned park not so far from our bunker, and while I had deluded myself into believing that I would try to think a little here, I couldn’t. I couldn’t even do anything as all I could focus on was the lies… the betrayal… th

Xavier’s POV:I do not know how weird this may sound but the past twenty four hours without Dawn has been nothing but hell. I felt extremely grumpy and there was no way I could hide it… especially from Ryan. And even though it seemed as though my entire essence was being sucked out of me, there was no way I would admit to anyone that I missed her.Or do I not? I am not even sure.Another thing that angered me was Zade’s sudden reappearance in our lives and after successfully reassuring Ryan and I that he had nothing to do with Ivana’s death- with proof- and that it was indeed Reagan’s doing, we let him in.We let him in just once, and ever since, he’s been lurking around like someone in search of something. I knew that that something was Dawn but since he’s not said anything about her, I wouldn’t either.He had come yesterday too but our meeting had been cut short because he’d asked after Dawn and I had been too irritable to give him a response. And now, he was back again but I doubte

Dawn’s POV:My heart pounded in my chest as I slowly walked up to him and while I did, I couldn’t bring myself to look at him… to look at his beautiful eyes… so I watched the floor instead.The hammering of my heart turned into full palpitations when I arrived at where he stood with the wrapped gift and I was just about to beam a smile up at him when I remembered that he could hear my heartbeat. He had a sharp sense of hearing, one that was even sharper than mine, and this thought made me bow my head in embarrassment.“Hello to you too, Dawn.” He greeted teasingly, “How have you been?”His demeanor, his words… His actions made me very confused. I was so certain that he was mad at me and I could’ve sworn that he was only here to punish me for sending Alan back alone the time he came for me, so it was surprising that he was being playful right now. Hell, he’d even come with a present!“Dawn…?” His rich drawl snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up at him slowly. I wasn’t sure what

Dawn’s POV:I waited for the commotion outside to die down before I climbed up the ladder and unfastened the several locks to the bunker’s door. When I pushed the door open, I was suddenly hit with the metallic smell of blood and that wasn’t all. There were bodies scattered everywhere. And now, I know I may sound like I was exaggerating but more than ten corpses were lying on the floor, and while some were decapitated, the rest were just… dead.Another thing that I couldn’t shake out was the pungent smell of rotten flesh. It smelled disgusting and it emanated from the bodies on the floor, and now that I thought about it, it was the same as those I had smelled on those men back at Xavier’s pack, and in disgust, I scrunched up my nose.“Hey, Dawn! Good to see you.” Ryan greeted me with a sweet smile, and for a minute, I almost forgot about the corpses scattered around until I smelled them again. I smiled back; “Hi Ryan, good to see you too!”Silence…“What happened here?” I resorted to

Dawn’s POV:As I laid in bed that night, I couldn’t stop thinking about what Ryan had said to me. It wasn’t a lot to process, but still, it had been shocking. I still wasn’t sure if the ‘murderer’ that plagued Autumn’s dreams was Xavier or his estranged brother, Xander, and at this point, I was sure that I ought to talk to Xavier about it in order to know the truth.Deciding that I would do just that when next I met him, I closed my eyes and snuggled into my duvet. It was night, I was tired and today had been an excruciatingly long day so it was only normal that I retired to bed.However just when I had slowly begun to doze off, a creaking noise by my door had me peeling my eyes wide open. It was so dark in here, as dark as a crow in a night’s sky, so I was certain that whoever must’ve come in could not see me. I took a sniff of the air, hoping to smell any one of my mates but to my surprise, the smell was foreign. It was feminine… and what stood out the most was the aura it gave off.
