Semua Bab Dare To Mate: Bab 11 - Bab 20

JACE BALDWIN POV "We had plans today remember?" Addison quirks with a voice that does nothing but irritate my ears.I had a bunch of things to deal with. With Nate's sudden attraction to Carly and Carly being in the condition she's in at the moment.If Nate wanted her back, then he'd have to wait for that child to be born then he could do as he pleased with her.I guess that child was the reason I had the strange urge to protect her. I can't have Nate try to sabotage the plans we had on ground with his unwanted jealousy.Yes, he was her destined mate but he did reject her, the unwanted omega. Besides, it could've been any omega.If Nate wasn't comfortable with the plan he should've said something. So why was he now after? Was what Carly said true? Was Nate jealous of me?It can't be, we've been friends from childhood, he just needed his mate. Nothing biggie."I'm sorry my love but we'll have to take a raincheck on that." My voice was soft, trying to coax her into not making a fuss ov

CARLY WOODS POV "Oh, come on I can't swallow another spoon of anything, I'm already stuffed up," I whine with a pout lowering my spoon in the wooded tray, stretching out my arms and body in an awkward position until I heard a few cracks. Hmm, that felt so good. As the doctor had explained I wasn't allowed to move around so my ankle could heal properly. But, me being me, tried getting up to prove that I was fine and ended up tumbling on the floor because of the pain that shot through me. Damn, I didn't know it was that bad. Since I wasn't blessed in the luck department, Jace had sauntered in a few seconds later to see me writhing in pain on the floor. To say he was furious would be the understatement of the century. He went all 'I told you to stay in bed' speech on me, telling me how I was trying to defy him which would only get me punished, and that he'd let this one slide since I was already damaged. "You either eat on your own or suffer through as I feed you." There was a warni

JACE BALDWIN POV I ran to Carly's room with Ian hot on my heel, he was equally as anxious as I was. Carly's son had to be okay, he was our only way out. He was my hope for a better future, for a stronger Brookside pack. I know it sounds crazy for a father to want to sacrifice their child to stay alive but it needed to be done. It had to be done. My pack needed me, my friends needed me, and Addison needed me. And Carly and her child don't need you? Your child? My wolf snorted at the back of my mind. It's either that or we lose all our power, now would you want to become a weak and pathetic wolf? Let me guess from a big bad Alpha wolf to a nonentity. Is that what you want, huh? Because I certainly don't wish that for myself." I snapped back before blocking him out. I could feel him push his irritation on me, I can't deal with him at the moment. I had more pressing issues. In Carly's room, I caught a glimpse of the broken plate of food and glass of milk on the floor, maybe Alic

CARLY WOODS POV After about fifteen minutes of silence passed between us, I finally let out a heavy sigh as I passed Jace a side glace from my peripheral.Right now, I couldn't trust anyone that's why my mind was searching for a thousand meanings to what he meant by 'coming to a safe page.'Did he realize he was asking for me to trust him with my son's life even after knowing his very existence was a danger to not only my child but my peace of mind and sanity?He was a threat to my already broken and fragile heart. A threat I was fully ready to confront.The game in which I was the pawn started a long time ago without my knowledge, but, as of this moment, the rules had changed to my terms and I wouldn't mind playing dirty.Ooh, how had the table turned? I snorted mentally.But, I could try and play along and see where this goes. If his squad think they can play then I can also play with changes to the rules of the game though.They'll never know what's hitting them until it's too lat

CARLY WOODS POV Leaning on a tree outside the meeting ground, my heel digs into the ground as I crane my neck in search of my best friend. It didn't take long before I caught sight of her wavy brown hair.The meeting had lasted for about thirty minutes, which I had conveniently tuned out on.A radiant smile instantly spread over my sore face when I spotted the wide smile on Mia's face the moment our gazes met."Look what the cat decided to drag to pack meetings today." Mia teased, pulling me into a bone-crushing hug, eyes gleaming with genuine joy.Mia was the only companion I had left in the pack. At some point, Ophelia and I were close, well, as close as cousins could get. But, soon after the accident with my parents, she, alongside everyone started ignoring me except Mia, who didn't mind sticking around even when the consequences of being friends with me entailed being subjected to mock and ridicule, Mia didn't mind. She was ready to go down to hell with me.Mia was that friend th
