Dare To Mate Chapter 29 - WORLDS APART
JACE BALDWIN POV I spent the remainder of the day doing my Alpha duties as if nothing happened. I buried my nose in the pile of work I had on my desk, meeting with those who had appointments with me.I was only trying but failing to push Carly out of my head. It was frustrating when the only thing I saw was her broken face as those dark eyes begged and pleaded to be heard.The day she asked what it felt like to shift was when I realized she was a broken soul. More broken than she lets on.Living as half-human in the werewolf community without your wolf must be hard for her. The agony and vulnerability she tried to hide cut deep into the depths of my heart. She was alone trying to push her way through then I stumbled in and made it more complicated.When she ran away after a tear slipped through, I wanted to go after her but my butt was glued to the theater seat and I knew she needed time to recollect herself.It was amusing to make her think she could easily sneak in after spending

JACE BALDWIN POV The prison guard hurriedly clicked the heavy padlock that kept the barred door in place before flicking it open with a loud clattering noise as the door slammed into the brick prison wall.A whimper reached my ear and my heart constricted when Carly's curled form shifted into the wall as if trying to hide herself from intruders.Maybe to protect herself from further harm.She lay on her side, her knees pulled up to her chest, her head dropped down such that her chin rested on her knee, her right hand served as a pillow while her left hand tightened around her folded legs.Carly made no further move, she was shivering as her flimsy pale blue tank top and denim cut-offs did nothing to protect her from the cold hard floor she lay on.With a silent nod, the prison guard trotted off somewhere.Silently, I placed the small plate of peanut butter and jelly sandwich I brought along on the floor.I scanned around the tiny space that reeked of blood, sweat, cigarettes, and sal

CARLY WOODS POV Darkness. Thick gross darkness. That was all I saw as I sat by the wall on the cold prison floor. The darkness played different kinds of tricks on my narrowed eyes. It was even worse that the only available light bulb kept flickering on and off after every ten minutes which made my heart race rapidly. It was moments like this that I wished I was a full wolf with all the necessary benefits Fear gripped my heart as I saw zombie-like creatures wobble their way to me. I was either hallucinating or I was slowly losing it, but I couldn't stop myself from being afraid in the pitch darkness. It didn't take me long to realize that begging and pleading wasn't going to take me anywhere, Addison had made she backed me in the worst corner ever. The waterworks had ceased about an hour or two ago and I was left a snuffing and hiccupping mess. The swelling around my eyes was enough evidence of how hard and long I cried. I was positive my tear duct had been wrung out well.

CARLY WOODS POVIt was the early hours of the next day when Jace returned to do goddess knows what.After the fight with Jace, I was tired out so I fell asleep on him.In a way, his presence had eased the anxiety, and agitation I felt when I was first cast down here. The cozy robe he draped over my shoulder was warm and comforting, and I found myself snuggling into its warmth and taking a not-so-subtle whiff of his manly essence.We settled side by side on the hard concrete floor. Jace didn't seem to mind the unkempt state of the prison floor, if anything, he was calm, way too calm.I was still pissed at him for what he did but there was a sliver of amusement in my eyes when he tried defending himself.The fight started as a benign argument that swiftly escalated into a harsh confrontation that had me breathing hard like I was in a race.The ache in those leafy eyes when I accused him of having a part in Addison's ploy almost had me pulling back but I was too irritated to stop, too st

ADDISON POVThe girls and I had our day all figured out. After the whole 'Carly stole my necklace display', the girls and I proceeded to Ophelia and Nate's room to put some plans on the ground.I couldn't risk going to my room cause Jace could easily find me there. He rarely goes to Ian's room much more to Nate's.Jace was easy to track down with his boring routine life, if he wasn't in his office working his ass off, he'd be in a meeting in his conference room or another pack for some alpha meetings or conference. Or he is in his mansion or training. Carly was yet to see what I'm made of. If she thinks she can walk into my perfect life and ruin everything I'd worked so hard to get, then she better be ready for the consequences.Pregnant or not I couldn't give a flying pink pig about that. After all that thing she was carrying was doomed the moment it was shot into her.It was pitiful seeing her try to protect that thing.My displeasure for omegas couldn't be imagined by any but the
Last Updated : 2025-02-20Dare To Mate Chapter 34 - FATE
ADDISONMy head snapped quickly to a towering male figure by the cell entrance, the movement was so quick I was afraid I had a whiplash.What could he be possibly doing down here? Don't tell me he was secretly involved with Carly.The pause amongst the girls was comical. Ophelia's left hand was in Carly's hair, her right hand was balled into a visibly tight fist in the air as she stood gaping at a furious Beta Ian. Paula's leg was hanging in the air ready to kick into Carly's back but stopped at the thundering male voice. Carly on the other side, was sitting on the floor, blood dripping on the floor, her hands extended to block out any assault from my girls.The silence dragged out for another one to three minutes, before Ian shattered the stillness with his booming Beta voice."I ask again, what is going on here?""Nothing much, we only stopped by to ask Carly here a few questions Ian, but she-" Ian cuts Ophelia off as she fumbles around for what to say. "What I need to know is what

I swear my eyes are shimmering with stars, as various alternative means to avenge the omega girl shuffled through my head. "You want her to suffer that much?" I was too busy glowing at the opportunity of dishing out Carly's punishment to notice the edge in Jace's voice not the suspicion on his face. "What can I say, my hate for that omega girl knows no bounds. As long as she's carrying your seed and putting our mating ceremony on hold? I'm licensed to hate her." "You do realize you're ridiculous?" Jace murmured, giving me the 'Are you serious' look. "If anything, you owe that little omega for saving you from living the horror of a mother losing her child." I scoffed crossing my hands under my boobs, effectively pushing it up his face. "Does it look like I fucking care? That girl lived with you when you expressly declared I couldn't until the mating ceremony. Then the omega rolls in because of the abominable child she carries." I snap leaning into his heavy mahogany table. Jace
Last Updated : 2025-02-22Dare To Mate Chapter 36 - FALSE CLAIM
CARLY WOODS POVThe huge mahogany door swings open, the guard leading the way steps to the side, gesturing me with his hand to advance through the open door.Silently, I took slow and steady steps inside the vast office space, my eyes quickly locating Jace who was sitting on a single chair in the sitting area of his office. He was dressed in a black suit jacket, a black shirt, and black dress shoes. The crystal face of his gold watch glitters from the light that shined on the ceiling. A frigid look graced his striking features as he sat, and leaned back on the backrest. To his right on the couch, Ian his Beta sat there, focusing his attention on the paper on the small rectangular table in front of them. He had changed from the black outfit he had worn earlier. Maybe because of the blood that had seeped into the delicate material of his dark dress shirt.Now he was in a sky blue shirt, a black pant, and black leather shoes. He took a glance at the door when he heard the door shut rig

Dare To Mate Chapter 111 - SHRIMP AND POTATO SANDWICH
"Now that's a question," Darren smirked turning back to sit on the wooden cushion chair "What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, leaning on the wall behind me for physical support since my knees were too wobbly and no longer able to keep my weight up.Darren was a known name around the Were community and a major threat to Jace's pack. The Brookside pack.I remember hearing his name a lot in Jace, Beta Ian, and Nate's conversation."We need to increase our training time with the pack warriors if we want to stand a chance against Darren," Nate offered his candid suggestion as they continued with their discussion over breakfast."Darren isn't dumb enough to risk an attack in the Brookside pack. He wouldn't want to dare me." Jace had countered with visible anger clear in his eyes."These are the outlanders we're dealing with, Alpha. We're talking rouges. Everyone knows how vicious they can be." Beta Ian had supplied, putting Jace straight when he tried belittling his opponent.It was the
Dare To Mate Chapter 100 - DARK AND DANGEROUS
I froze in time lost in the most beautiful dark grey eyes I've ever seen in my entire life, the pillow dangling behind my back.The man before me was the real definition of dark, mysterious, and dangerous.He was almost as tall as Jace but Jace still had a few 5-6 inches on him, he had a mob of black hair that was combed into perfection, and thick and long lashes cast a shadow over his dark grey eyes which were cold and menacing as he glared me down. His lips had a pink tinge which had me wondering if he used men's makeup or if it was natural. He had sharp jawlines that could cut a paper and his face was on full display and free of facial hair, his nose was perfectly sculpted on his face and his lips were drawn into a thin disapproving line. He had broad shoulders that were covered in a black suit jacket that was tailored and made for him, the top three buttons on his black shirt were popped to reveal the swirls of tattoos that decorated his skin and I found myself imagining what his
Dare To Mate Chapter 109 - WHO RAISED YOU?
Darkness.Gross darkness.Gross and intense darkness.That was all I saw when my eyes fluttered open. My head craned in all directions, eyes darting around trying to get a glimpse of light from any angle. Disappointed, I briefly shut my eyes in disappointment when there was no trace of light, not even from a cracked wall or a sip of light from the space in between the door and the floor or a window.At this point, even the dullest light in the history of light will be appreciated.Where am I?I thought, tuning into my other senses since my sights were disadvantaged at the moment. I strained my ears in the hope of picking up on a sound but everywhere was eerily quiet. Almost dead.A soft lavender fragrance tingled my nose from the pillowcase my head rested on. At least one sense organ was responding when needed even though the fragrance couldn't relate any vital information as to what my fate was in this unknown place. But it was sufficient enough to let me know I wasn't tied up in
Dare To Mate Chapter 108 - LOUSY LEMONADE
Needless to say, the man was way stronger and he easily overpowered and shoved me against the sturdy tree trunk. Instinctively, I snapped my eyes shut as pains shot through my growing baby bump. His hands held mine in a firm grip that caused pains to shoot up my entire arm and shoulders."Not so tough now huh?" Paul whispered breathily into my ear his left hand draping around my mid-drift, restraining my body from further struggles.My breathing was heavy as hot tears escaped my closed eyelids from the intensity of the pains my body endured. I could feel my baby wiggle in his position as the man shoved his weight into me, his breath fanning the side of my face."I don't think so, princess. You're going to stay quiet and do as we say if you don't want me ripping that bastard out of you, yeah?" I whimpered in fear as his words settled in my head, bile rose from my throat as the hand he draped around my waist snuck under the grey sweatshirt I wore over its matching grey sweatpants. His
Dare To Mate Chapter 107 - A PREGNANT ONE
"Look what we have here." Lost in my thoughts, I didn't take notice of the two men in front of me, until I bumped into one of them.I stumbled backward in an attempt to put some distance between us. The man I bumped into had a mop of black hair that was gelled back perfectly without a single strand out of place and sharp blue eyes that pierced into my soul. His friend also had black hair but his was free of gel."A runaway pack member?" The second man said easily giving themselves away as rogue wolves. My heartbeat picked up speed at the realization of what doom I'd run into. I should've been more observant of my environment maybe I would've avoided crossing paths with them."A pregnant runaway human who happens to be mated to a wolf."Great! I thought sarcastically when the first man's blue eyes became glued to Jace's bite mark on my neck. "The devil's in the picture." The second man said in a sing-song voice that could be easily mistaken for amusement if not for the wicked glint
Dare To Mate Chapter 106 - I'M NOT JEALOUS
CARLY WOODS POV I couldn't believe walking away from all this would be this easy. I didn't know where to go from here but I had to figure something out before it was too late.I didn't want to be in the middle of nowhere when night washed over with the thick cloak of darkness. The decision to leave was great but right now it didn't seem too awesome to journey alone to an unknown destination."Being the Alpha's fiance does have its perks you know? I've taken care of the patrol team in the south and Southeast borders the decision on where to go is up to you." Addison had said when I told her escaping a pack as big as Brookside was a dumb move only an idiot would try considering.I went south, and I wasn't too surprised when I didn't come across any patrol guards anywhere by the borders. Addison was a woman that wasn't afraid to make demands from anyone and she knew how to use her soon-to-be Luna to her full advantage.Because of my pregnant state, I couldn't run far, so I settled for
Dare To Mate Chapter 105 - SHE LEFT
JACE BALDWIN'S POV It was noon the following day yet, there was no trace of Carly anywhere in the pack, there was no report of rogues sited anywhere around the pack.Order then Ian and I spent our entire morning searching every possible place for the missing pregnant young woman, I had my trackers and a search team parading everywhere nook of the pack. "She was heading south when I saw her yesterday evening." "It's been a while since I saw Ms Woods.""Maybe she ran away with another man."The words from some people I questioned did nothing to ease the growing tension I felt neither did it ease the tightness in my chest. I didn't want to believe the worst."I think there'll be a clue in her room." I reasoned after six long unfruitful hours of a wild goose chase."You think she ran away?" Ian asked his tired voice doubtful yet there was a slight hope that he wished she didn't."I don't know what to think, man. I have a gut feeling she wasn't abducted, I don't know how, maybe it's an
Dare To Mate Chapter 104 - A BAR?
ADDISON COBBLER POV As the night dragged on, I watched in silent amusement as Jace tried to figure out what was going on with Carly's sudden disappearance from the house. "Give it till the morning Alpha, I'm sure she'll come back from wherever she went." Nate tried to reason with Jace but he was too far gone in his anger. "Gemma Nate is right, Carly loves disappearing to unknown places whenever she wants to be on her own." The gentle voice of Carly's friend piped in making me smile inwardly because they were unknowingly buying me enough time to get the omega as far as possible from the Brookside pack. "Where is the most common place she visits during one of her 'I want to go M.I.A'?" Jace asks the young omega his eyes are the darkest shade of black I've ever seen on him. Jace had requested she come to the mansion as soon as possible. He needed all the information he could gather before deciding whether she was abducted or hiding out somewhere. I knew better. Another r
Dare To Mate Chapter 103 - WHERE'S CARLY?
The study room grew unnaturally quiet as the raven-haired woman rushed back into the room with her report."Carly enjoys spending her evening in the movie room or library.""Yes Alpha, I'll be right back."She pivoted back out of the study and immediately, a light chitchat started between the other occupants of the space.Ian and I discussed quietly the possible outcome of these meetings, if indeed a rat was residing in the Brookside pack, we were about to find out.Addison relaxed into her seat, her arms crossed under her boobs effectively pushing the twins into her face with a blank look on her face. Looking at her closely, I could detect amusement in her demeanor even though she tried hiding it from everyone.Nate sat quietly not engaging anyone in a conversation. His eyes were trained on the door in anticipation.My eyes stayed glued on Julian as he talked with Stan and Jean. The slight chuckle he released annoyed me beyond words as I imagined him smiling at my Carly after making
