Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 21: The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Nusha played with a stray thread on Caph's sleeve. 'That's not possible.'She was still smiling, her bright yellow eyes staring at him.He was about to protest and tell her the history of their ancestors and their bonded mates, how they only married the ones they were bonded to, so there should be no reason why he couldn't—'I don't mean bonded mates are not possible, Caph.'He smirked at her, waiting for her dramatic silence to end. 'Then?'She looked away, her long brown lashes fluttering like butterfly wings.Nusha had wavy brown hair that bounced lightly when she moved. Paired with bright yellow eyes and a perpetually cheerful expression, she had a fairy-like appearance.She continued twisting the stray thread on his sleeve.'I've been thinking about it while i was in Middleton. Why you can't find your bonded mate.'Her eyes focused on him again. Her cheerful expression was replaced with a bashful one and the yellow in her eyes seemed to darken in intensity.'I think it's me.'Caph
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 22: Extra Work
Ran folded her arms across her chest. She examined Caph's appearance properly for the first time since her outburst.He was drenched from shifting and still panting hard, as though he had run across the continent at record speed. (She really guessed it randomly.)There was a frantic light in his eyes, a wild fear, a startling insecurity and uncertainty.What happened? Had she really been so preoccupied analysing Dingo's intentions all week that she missed some incident happening in her own pack?'Did something happen? Where have you been?'Caph took another step forward, lowering his head to rest it on her shoulder.He was really going to hug her. He wasn't joking.She let him.His sticky arms encircled her and she was enveloped in an uncomfortable heat.She let him because of the tired energy he exuded.The playful blue light she had gotten used to seeing had darkened, deepened into an abyss of despair. Ran could also feel frustration and anguish radiating from him in waves.Tentative
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 23: You're My Enemy
By the time they had spoken to all the pack elders, it was already past midday.Ran was frustrated.Usually, she was much quicker—she had to be, if she wanted to visit every member of her pack.But this time, Caph was with her and he didn't just tag along like she hoped he would. He tried to strike up conversations with the pack elders as well.The Eridanus elders were very curious about him. They had heard about his college shenanigans and wanted to know more about it.Ran was perturbed by how comfortable he was sharing such an embarrassing story.Then again, she thought, he probably did worse things back home to have gotten himself sent here in the first place.This made her pissed.Like Caph pointed out, it was a Sunday. Most packs no longer practised this kind of greeting anymore.Yet he came along so willingly.He mimicked her perfectly.He knew exactly what to say to cajole her pack elders into finding him respectable.He was good with words.No wonder even his father couldn't co
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 24: With Great Power...
Caph was stunned.How did she reach that conclusion?'I'm not pandering,' Caph began. 'You said Acamar asked me—'Ran let out a burst of mocking laughter.'Ah, so you came because I said Acamar asked. If I had asked—'Caph interrupted. 'I would have come as well.'She glared at him, coal eyes hard. 'Even though you didn't sleep the night before? Even though you've never done menial tasks like this ever in your life? Yeah, right. Our arrangement was to go against Acamar, not to accept every request he gives you with your tail between your legs.'Ran strode up to the house and rang the doorbell. He had no choice but to follow with the corresponding box from the truck.'The arrangement was to fake our engagement,' Caph pointed out.The door opened and he had to stop talking. A pleasant expression had replaced the fury on her face.Ran greeted the pack member at the door, 'Good afternoon, Winnie. How are you?'Caph realised he was dealing with a fearsome person.When they returned to the t

At last, they reached the last house.The sun had begun to set.This was the house Caph was most curious about.He carried the final few grocery bags. 'Did you know there was dog food on their list?''There should be,' Ran said and rang the doorbell.'What kind of werewolves keep dogs?' he asked.She glared at him.The door burst open.A frantic and dishevelled woman appeared, staring at them with wild unseeing eyes. 'What is it?'Then, she seemed to notice Ran.'Oh. Beta Ran! You're here. Thank God!'Ran frowned. 'What's wrong?'The woman led them inside the wooden house, babbling, 'Liam brough Vicky to the workshop with him on Friday because I was on patrol duty all day but he couldn't find her when it was time to go home.''Is Vicky the dog?' Caph whisper-asked.Ran nodded.'I mean, she sometimes goes off wandering on her own so he didn't worry too much. She'd come back when she got hungry. But she didn't come home that night. He went back to look for her on Saturday but she wasn't
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 26: Let's End This Arrangement
Ran drove through the quiet outskirts of Punggol and onto the country road that curled around the unnamed mountain. Every now and then, she'd glance at Caph whose head lolled as the truck swayed.He slept with his lips slightly parted. His eyelashes were long.Her eyes flickered back to the dark road lit only by the flickering headlamps of the truck.His eyelashes had nothing to do with her.She thought about what Caph said about power.She was genuinely surprised that he understood what responsibility was—given his character and reputation.He was more mature than she gave him credit for.Ran had thought he would be like most other Alpha children, especially since he was raised in a purebred pack, where telling others what to do and being at the centre of attention was their everyday experience. She had been the same way until her parents died and she became powerless, subject to the Regent's whims.Caph would never understand, she thought.The fourth son of the ancient purebred Cassi
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 27: Can We Not Use Your Usual Foolproof Method?
For a long time, his words continued to slide off her brain like raindrops on the windshield.Was he stupid?How could Caph be with his bonded mate right now?He had refused to go back to the manor, so right now, he was stuck in Acamar's truck with her.Wait, what?They were the only ones on this winding country road.Confusion buzzed, sounding very much like rain on old metal.'You think it's me?' Her voice was incredulous.Caph smiled his infuriating casual smile. 'Yes. It's you.'Lightning flashed across the sky. She stepped on the accelerator with unnecessary force.The truck jolted forward.They should try to reach Saxton before the storm got worse.'Not possible,' she said at last, eyes never leaving the road. She tried to make out lights from the human city in the distance by squinting. (She couldn't.)'Why not?' he asked.'Like I said, your bonded mate would be able to recognise you. I would know if I'm your bonded mate because you would be my bonded mate as well,' she pointed
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 28: The Fast And Accurate Way
They found Vicky with Caph's fast and accurate way.She was barking frantically inside one of the cars on the car hauler parked next to the only building in the scrapyard. Still alive thanks to the misaligned car windows.As soon as Ran had the dog in her arms, Caph pulled her under the shelter of the garage eaves, out of the rain.Her flashlight was already useless. The light spluttered and dimed entirely.Caph fumbled along the metal front of the squat wooden building until he found an unlocked side door. 'In here,' he called and disappeared into the pitch blackness within.With a click, the antique light bulb flickered and blinked on.It was dim but dry, better than standing outside in the rain.The building was a messy garage office. Papers were strewn over an overladen table. Tools and mechanical equipment was scattered throughout the wide open space, but somehow there was still enough floor space inside for a whole car hauler to fit.Ran closed the door behind her and set Vicky d
