All Chapters of The Lottery Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lesley’s POVThere was a sticker on one of the doors when I got home. Without thinking, I stopped to read it.“Your room!Order whatever you want – I’ll be home late. Don’t wait up!Cedrick”What a loving and caring mate! I huffed, ignoring the twisted pain in my gut. I opened the door and noticed that my luggage was already inside. And as a bonus, it was a guest bedroom. I sighed, wondering if it was even worth it...Life has chocolate! I tried to humor myself but didn't succeed. I was never going to win at life, I murmured to myself before heading to the kitchen and ordering some pizza. But once it arrived, I didn’t feel hungry anymore. I felt sick.I went to bed, but my stomach never really settled. I tossed and turned a couple of times, but never really found what I needed – whatever that was! I got back up and barely made it to the toilet before I started to throw up. How the hell could I be throwing up? The only thing I had for the last week was water from the bathroom sink. I g

Lesley’s POVI stayed away for as long as I could. But around midday, I was cold, hungry and tired. I wanted to go home and sleep. Perhaps if I was lucky, the rejection was written on the fridge and I didn’t have to see Cedrick again.I could run back to my old pack. Become my Uncle’s pet again and just live life like a hollow fuck-doll. I would die of an STD or AIDS or some shit like that in a couple of years and then--- and then…And then I’d be free…I opened the patio door and walked in. His scent was the first thing that assaulted my senses. For a split second, my heart clenched, knowing I would never smell it again once he rejected me…“Hey!”I jumped around, coming face to face with a newly showered Cedrick. He had a wild look on his face and his voice was harsh and stern. He strode closer but suddenly stopped. Like he’d hit an invisible wall. His nostrils flared, and his hands curled into a fist.“You

Cedrick’s POVI was restless!I didn’t know what to do in a house with a girl that was almost half my age. Shit, I felt like such a pig! And my wolf certainly didn’t help, by constantly pushing vivid images into our mind of her strolling around naked. And as much as I didn’t want to admit it, it turned me on. So much so, time and time again, I found myself unable to do my work. Not until I’d either had a cold shower or found my own release.I sighed and for the 11th time that day found myself with a hard-on. Shit! I was exhausted… And god, did I feel OLD! I’d never felt this old before! Whoever said that a wolf in his 30’s was in his prime, did NOT have a mate that was practically a child!Not to mention, that every time she got within 6 feet of me, my wolf became utterly and completely impossible to control, because she smelled like---them! He wanted to mark and mate her without any concerns about the outside w

Lesley’s POV“Good morning sunshine!” Ryder, the cute Third, greeted me--- and I finally understood how Cedrick felt on Sunday mornings!“Mornin’, Sensai,” I muttered, hauling my ass to the training arena. I had barely got out of bed this morning when my alarm went off. My head was pounding and I felt sick to the core. Even my wolf was whimpering at every movement my body made. I crawled out of bed, into the bathroom, and threw my insides in the toilet.Wait just a second, I gruffly muttered to myself. I know what this is! But why? How? How did I wake up with a hangover? I didn’t drink any alcohol last night.My wolf had no explanations either--- unless we’d been drugged. But there was no one else in the house last night. Except…I frowned as I tried to think, with my clogged-up brain. I vaguely remembered having a weird conversation with Cedrick, but--- And that’s when it hit me!Oh,

Lesley’s POVNew school!Yeah, I don’t think that needs an introduction: I hated it! And it got weird.Fast!“You’re the Luna,” a girl from the pack remarked. “Why are you here?”“To finish high school,” I deadpanned, and with that, the conversation quickly turned into how they would spend their day if they were the Luna. And that had them drooling over Cedrick’s hot body. His cash, his car, his biceps--- And how ‘oh, so sorry they were’ for having to say goodbye to his beautiful, gorgeous, and ‘oh so kind and sweet’ ex-girlfriend. Although she wasn’t officially their Luna, they’d always seen her as one!See where that was going?I quickly excused myself and left. One part of me – the VERY jealous part, curtesy of the mate-bond – wanted to scratch their eyes out! While the other part of me just wanted to throw my hands in the air and let them have him! He was so frustrating it w
