All Chapters of Mated by fate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Adam's POV I watch the slumbering form of my mate as she stirs in my arms while mumbling incoherent words.Ever since I brought her here, she's been clinging to me. She regained control briefly and wrapped her hands around me; she's been like that since then.Her long lashes caress her cheeks softly, and a little droplet of liquid rolls out of the corner of her mouth. A smile spreads across my lips at the sight. I wonder how anyone can look so beautiful, even in their sleep. It's a good thing she has been able to sleep so well. When I saw her walking on the street earlier, and the conditions that led me to bring her here, I wouldn't have thought that she would be able to sleep so soundly. As I continue to watch her, a faint frown appears on her forehead. She seems troubled even in her dreams. I reach out and gently stroke her hair, hoping to provide some form of comfort to her and ease the worries that haunt her even in slumber. My heart aches at the thought of what she must be g

Tammy's POV "Do you mind if I go in with you?" He asks, pointing at the shower. I shake my head. "I don't mind," respond meekly, still not recovered fully from my earlier shock.He smiles. "Good, because I was gonna go in with you anyway," he says."I'm on my period," I inform him, as I feel the need to."I know," he says, a smirk playing on his lips. "How did you-"I gape at him as he moves ahead of me to prepare the tub. 'And to think I was starting to like this man.' He still remains mysterious, after all. "You're really annoying," I mumble under my breath. He chooses that moment to glance back at me. "You coming?" he questions, reaching his hand out for me to take. Wanting to give him a show, I leave his hand hanging mid air and I walk past him into the tub, with a swing to my hips. I revel in the way his eyes roam my body, and in the obvious bulge in his pants. Repeating his words from earlier, I turn to face him with a raised brow. "You coming?"He swallows, regaining h

Adam's POV "We're here," I tell my mate as I park my car and turn off the ignition. I'm parked in a region where my car isn't too far from our settlement, but not close to the roadside either. That way, I'll always be ready when the need to flee arrives. She awakes from her sleepy state with a yawn, stretching her arms out. She turns around, taking in the environment, because she was asleep during more than half of our journey. "Huh?" she asks. "We're in my village," I inform her. "Where's that?" She glances behind her, rubbing her eyes. "Where's here? The only thing I can see here is the thick spread of trees. Do you live in a forest?" I chuckle at her question. "No. Well, not exactly. Like I said, it's a remote village and it's not developed." "Okay." She looks around again. "Where's everyone though? There ought to be people around at least, shouldn't there?" "There are, but we have to get to the settlement first." My mate nods. "So shall we go now?" She opens the

Tammy's POV Adam's voice rings out across the room. "Everyone," Addressing his next words to me, he adds, "This is Tammy. She's going to be the nurse from now on."Murmurs spread throughout the room, with people turning to each other and whispering in hushed tones. Everyone except the man and lady sat across the table from us, who seem to be sizing me up.I shrink to me seat, the self-consciousness taking over again. I'm usually not this shy, but I get the feeling from these people that there is more to them than what meets the eye, and it fills me with discomfort. I feel a twinge of anxiety at the thought of if I'll eventually fit in, even if I won't be staying long.Adam continues, his voice firm and authoritative. "As she would be the one taking care of our sick, I expect that each and every one of you would show her as much respect as you would show me." He pauses, his eyes scanning the room. "If she needs something, provide it for her. I don't want to hear any complaints. And mo

Tammy's POV The sunlight filtering into the room enters my eyes immediately after I open them, causing me to groan and cover them. I had forgotten to close the windows before I went to sleep last night. I stretch my hand out, reaching for my phone on my bedside cupboard, but my hand comes in contact with an empty space. That's when everything that happened yesterday comes to memory, and I become aware of my surroundings. I had accepted Adam's request and am now living in his oddly located mansion in the woods. As I sit up, more of the events from yesterday come to mind, and the remembrance that I might not be liked by the people here, makes me feel a bit down. I try not to remain down, as I came here for a purpose that doesn't necessarily need them to like me - although a part of me wishes that they would. It's time to start counting down to the two weeks I'll stay here, starting from today. I have to go prepare myself for the day ahead. I think I'll just do some rounds and acce
