All Chapters of The Warrior's Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Eliot’s Point of ViewThat was close. Too close.Damn it. She’s so close and yet she’s too far away. The kiss, the touch of our lips, it seemed so familiar, like I have kissed her before. But I couldn’t remember when. I remember we had a drinking session. We talk, we laugh. I wished I had stopped the time that night. Do I like her? Yes. I liked her because she was the first one who saw me as me. She saved my life. The reason I returned to this town was because I was hoping we could meet again apart from investigating the wolves living in the thick forest of Jura. I love her…I planned to confess to her but then Mia appeared. And she told me she was two months pregnant. And she said I was the father. I was not entirely sure because Mia never liked me. We were drunk, she was crying, telling me how she wanted to run away from her strict father. And it happened. We had sex. I knew it was a mistake. “I’ll take responsibility,” I said. I was not entirely sure if I was the father. I was d

Artemis’ Point of View“No way.” My hands were shaking as I read the letter that was for me. This was not the one I expected to receive after going home. “The Prince specifically chose himself to be married to you,” Dad said. “But Dad-”“Mate? No. You don’t have to worry about that.”“Since when did he tell you?” Dad zipped his lips. So Zero already knew this? Since when? When? Was that the reason he was being a dick to me especially when he knew I was mated with a human and that it’ll never be reciprocated? I was his option. Damn him.The next morning, when I saw Zero talking with someone, I immediately walked towards him. Knowing that I was approaching, Zero dismissed his colleague and then smiled at me. “When?” I asked him, trying to calm myself down. “Do I have to say?”“Damn it Zero. Why me?” “Why not you?”Feeling hopeless and frustrated, I ran away."Listen to me, Artemis," Zero called out, running after me as I pushed open the front doors leading to the parking lot. "A

Am I the mistress? You read about them or watch them in the news, how they tear apart a couple and it never ends well. You see how they are given tons of publicity and people turn their heads from them. Am I the mistress now? You’re a werewolf. As a wolf, your pack is your family, and when plenty of your pack members are at the same work as you, especially your mate, this is more than just a chapter in your life. Work is when you become that warrior and self sufficient you wanted, you become independent and have countless other possibilities. It's where you make your mark on who you will become as part of the pack. If you're vital....or nothing more than a member. To Eliot and Mia, work is just those for years of your life and then you move on. To them, it's just a memory."Artemis?"Am I the mistress?"What's next for us, Eli?" I ask, leaning my head back against the headrest. He still keeps his eyes focused upon me, turned to face me as we are still parked on the side of the road.

"Dad, hear me out," Zero demanded, slamming his first onto the table, the wood shattered as I jumped back. That table was not made of cheap wood. Not at all. It was made centuries ago with the most sturdy wood. "She’s my mate. Artemis might not be feeling it but I swear she’s the one." He confessed. My head automatically turned to him and I was shocked. Was he for real? Me, his mate? Or was this one of his tactics?My parents seemed to be pleased as they were smiling. “That can’t be!”“It is!” Zero said with a serious face. “If I have to marry a she-wolf, then it’s her.” He was trying to remain calm. He's trying not to shift and demand the respect he deserves. Two individuals with Royal blood going head to head was never a good combination. It's a deadly recipe."You listen to me, son," King Oishin growled. "You cannot claim someone just because you’re feeling something. You cannot force anyone just because you wanted it."I watched Queen Aine as she moved to her husband's side, tu

Arms wrap around me, a soft kiss placed upon my cheek as a smile stretches across my lips.“Grandma?” I said, I was surprised to see her in the hospital. She was not my biological grandmother but she was a good elderly lady I befriended when I saw in the woods one day, picking up some wild apples. “Sweetie,” she said, kissing my cheeks. “I knew that it was you the moment I saw you standing with two handsome men,” she added, wiggling her eyebrows. “Oh uhm…” I blushed. “This is my boyfriend, Eliot and my le-friend, Zero,” I said as I held her hand. The old lady smiled, eyeing Eliot who seemed to be uncomfortable. With this, I turned my head to the side, meeting his lips and we closed the space between us. Pulling away, I saw the old lady smiling at me. “Ah, it’s good to be young,” she said and then looked at Zero. “But this other gentleman here seemed to envy you two.”Zero just looked at me blankly."Grandma!""You two are just too adorable," she commented, winking playfully at me
