All Chapters of The Mate She Can’t See: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

CHAPTER SEVENTY ONEGRAHAMI forced myself to focus on the reports in front of me, but my mind kept straying away from the priority at hand. No matter how much I tried to push it away, she kept coming back in. Frankie’s words still haunted me, and it kept echoing in my head like a harsh reminder of what I already knew.“I don’t want anything to do with you.” She had said it so coldly without eleven giving it a second thought.I clenched my jaw and stared at the papers harder, as if just my willpower could make the words and figures make sense. But the words blurred together, and frustration boiled inside me.A sharp knock broke through my thoughts, and I was grateful for it. At least, I’d stop pretending like I was working.“Come in,” I said, already knowing who it was.Ronald stepped inside, he had his usual serious expression on his face that told me he had a lot to say. He shut the door behind him and crossed his arms. “Are you busy?”I gestured at the paperwork on my desk. “What d

CHAPTER SEVENTY THREEZOEYThe sun was warm against my skin as I strolled beside Hannah. The pack grounds were lively, and pack members were moving around, engaged in their usual routines, but I barely paid attention.Hannah and I were deep in conversation, laughing about something silly that Ronald had done earlier. It felt nice and normal. A rare moment where I wasn’t overthinking about everything happening with Graham.But, of course, peace never lasted long.As we walked past a group of pack members, I heard their quiet whispers. I didn't mean to hear the gossip, but it reached my ears even without my permission. “She’s so desperate. Throwing herself at the Alpha like a common whore.” One of them said,“I heard she’s been sneaking into his quarters at night.” The other chimed in.“She’ll spread her legs for him and anyone else if it means getting a place in the pack.”I stiffened mid step and Hannah did too. We both heard it.At first, I told myself to ignore it because wolves lo

CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVEZOEYRonald came back fuming and that was the angriest I had ever seen him. I stood immediately and rushed to him. “What happened?”“Graham is a heartless bastard, that’s what happened,” he snapped, and I instantly realized that things didn’t go as planned.Hannah raised her eyebrow and said mockingly. “Tell us something we don’t know.” She said and I resisted the urge to laugh.Ronald paced back and forth, then he ran a hand through his hair in frustration before he sighed loudly. “I told him about the rumors, and he just sat there like it didn’t matter. He didn’t even blink. He just sat there like it was beneath him to care.” He turned to me, his face still filled with frustration and disappointment. “I don’t know how you deal with him, Zoey.”I didn’t answer because the truth was that even if I acted like I didn’t care about the rumors, it did bother me.But what made me so upset was the fact that he didn’t do anything to stop the rumors or even defend me. And

CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVENGRAHAMZoey’s words echoed in my head long after she walked out of my office. “If you want a kiss, stop the rumors.”I should have been angry and annoyed, unbothered even. But instead, I was sitting there, still gripping the armrests, and staring at the door like she’d walk back in. I felt like a damn fool.She had completely thrown me off my game. No one ever had that kind of power over me. I sighed deeply, and forced myself to snap out of it. Enough of this.I was not some weak-willed man who let a woman dictate his actions. But yet, as I pushed up to my feet and walked out of my office, I already knew what I was about to do.I wasn’t doing it for her.And I definitely wasn’t doing it for a kiss that she promised to give me wherever and however I wanted. Definitely not.I was doing it because I was Alpha, and letting my own pack spread disrespectful rumors about someone under my rule, whether I liked her or not, was a sign of weakness and I was not weak.Not no

CHAPTER SEVENTY NINEZOEYThe sound of rain lightly tapping against the window filled the cozy living room. I with my legs crossed on the couch, and idly played with a strand of my hair between my fingers while Lily laid beside me, flipping through a book she had no real intention of reading.Across from us, Hannah was sitting on an armchair, with her legs close to her chest and sipping from a cup of tea. She was talking about something, probably about how different life was when she lived as a human, but my mind drifted elsewhere.“…And that’s the thing about human jobs,” Hannah was saying, sounding amused. “If you hate it, you can just quit.”Lily made a funny face. “That’s ridiculous. If you don’t like something, just fight for something better.”“That’s not how it works for humans,” Hannah chuckled. “They have very strict rules that everyone must follow.”I rolled my eyes and chuckled quietly. “Rules are overrated.”Hannah smiled but she didn’t argue with me. Before she could cont
