All Chapters of Dare To Mate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

CARLY WOODS POVMy stay in the library made me feel good as I got lost in a romance novel I laid my hands on. It was quite intense and stimulating and I felt like sneaking it out with me.It was late in the evening from the grand clock that was attached to the library wall.9:27 pmI had to return to the safety of my room.I walked briskly down the large hallway that led to the ground foyer, my light blue Converse tapped against the floor, and my eyes hastily scanned through the ancient picture frames of all the past alphas of Brookside pack that were attached to the long hallway walls.With Very little time at my disposal, I made a quick dash to the kitchen bustling with omegas cleaning and arranging the place while some kept running in and out with trays of food for the in-house diners.I saw the middle-aged woman shouting out orders to her team on what needed to be done. "My goddess, to think it'll get better by the years." I heard the dark-haired woman mutter under her breath."Y

There was a distant look on the Beta's face as we sat wrapped up in grave silence after I related what happened to them.I knew he was worried about his friend collapsing after a long night of rest."He'll be okay right?" I mumbled, sniffing into my fisted hands that took comfort under my nose."You care about him don't you?" Do I care about him?Did I care about the man who was ready to shove me head-first into the shallow waters of depression? He knew the level of damage the death of my son would inflict on me, he knew it would break me but he didn't care.He was all about how much he could take never concerned about the impact his choices and actions would leave behind.But, he cared about Addison and how hurt she'd feel if her child was taken if her child was murdered in cold blood by his father.Despite my hate for the alpha, a part of me still cared.A part of me wanted no harm to come to him other than his karma.If he should suffer, then I must consciously be the force behin

Fluttering my eyes open, I looked around my surroundings and realized I was comfortably sleeping in a clearing.Darkness was slowly taking over from the brightness of the day's sun and the warm breeze was also gaining a few cold streaks as the minutes progressed. The wind picked up its tempo whispering soft melodies that compelled the leaves and tree branches to wave, clap, and dance to the tempo the soft wind set as it swifts past them going wherever it pleased.When I left the Beta earlier, I had no idea where I was going but I found my feet leading me into the woods. I kept pushing my way further into the bush as the calmness and mysteries of the dense wood kept beckoning me.My puffy eyes ached from the sunlight that shone unapologetically on everyone and everything that came under its radar.Avoiding a conscious Jace and a possibly moody Addison was a smart move and I pat myself on the back for taking the decision whenever the thought of me going to see the Alpha pops in my head

JACE BALDWIN'S POV As the darkness receded, giving room for consciousness to creep in, my ears tingled alert to my surroundings.I could hear the clanking of plates in the kitchen, and the sound of four sets of heartbeats beating at different tempos and rhythms.Confusion washed over me in waves as my mind reeled on who could be in my home.The door opened the second my eyes decided it had enough of the darkness that lurked within."Look who gave Hades a tease." The relief in Ian's voice and the sarcastic smile on his face made a weak smile indent on my face."What the hell happened?" I asked, a little confused as I looked around the foreign room that seemed to be the smallest in this house. "I don't remember coming here.""You don't remember what happened before you passed out? How are you feeling by the way?" He came close, clapping me on the back. "A little weak man but I'm good, it's been a while since I passed out from this," I said scratching the back of my head."It'll be alr

CARLY WOODS POV The next morning, the bright sunlight that shone without mercy from the opened blinds pulled me out of my peaceful slumber.I was in one of his white shirt he allowed me borrow from his wardrobe, my hair stick around in everything direction.Beta Ian and I had spent a few more hours in the open bar, talking about random things.He pushed me to tell him the problem between the Alpha and me, and I told him there wasn't any.Honestly, there weren't any problems between us. I told him Jace simply drew the boundary in our arrangement. He had Addison whom he was engaged to be married to then came the dare that ushered me into their picture-perfect life.Or not so perfect life.I didn't make the mistake of asking him about the curse or the earth wolf. Beta Diaz was a smart fellow, he was quite an observant fellow.The woman in question who prompted my visit to the bar left an hour later with one of the men she was drinking with.I didn't say anything to Ian, though I asked
