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
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 25: We're So Dumb, God Won't Let Us Have Kids
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
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 29: Temporarily Forget It's Temporary
His lips were hot, almost feverish. They were softer than she expected.Expected?Her lips parted in suprise and Caph wound his arms behind her back, pulling her into him.When had she thought about kissing him?She tried to resist him—instinctively, as she always had—but found that she couldn't.Didn't want to.He was speaking to her, his lips mouthing words against hers, his eyes stirring up a fire within her she hadn't known existed.The warmth of his arms, the security that he offered her.She reached out with her hands and took it, sinking her fingers into his red-brown hair.Mine, she thought.That was what he was whispering against her skin.The realisation made the fire inside her burn even brighter.And then, she was kissing him back, her own lips hot and feverish, demanding from him for something she didn't know she wanted before.His hands tightened around her waist, sending jolts of excitement tingling up her spine.They had been discussing something but she couldn't rememb
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 30: Why Did The Cow Cross The Road?
When Caph opened his eyes, he found himself with his head in Ran's lap.Ran had her head tilted forward towards him, her eyes closed, lips parted slightly, breathing deep and steady.He thought he was dreaming, so he reached out with one finger to poke her on the nose.She opened her eyes and blinked at him.His eyes were blue again.Sunlight streamed through dusty glass panes, casting a surreal white glow over the dark garage office from the night before.'It's morning,' she remarked.Vicky was curled up on her other side, torchlight poking out from under her paws.'Why didn't you wake me up when the rain stopped?' Caph asked.The sunlight made her black eyes look grey and soft.She looked away, stirring the dust motes floating through the air.'You were tired.'He had refused to let her go even though she said no. She relented for a while—until she came to her senses—and then she elbowed him away.Only to find that he had fallen asleep leaning against her.Caph had run across half th
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 31: I'll Think About You Seriously
She stared into Caph's frantic blue eyes. He was panting, breathless from conveying his feelings.Ran lost herself in the slideshow of emotions flashing through his eyes: understanding, loneliness, desire, despair, hope, delight, joy, confusion, helplessness, lust, bliss, guilt, frustration.What he felt for her conflicted with his resolution to wait for her, to help her.'I'm also,' Caph said, his voice raw, 'unable to stop thinking about you.'His eyes glowed fiercely.'So you're not allowed to stop thinking about me either.'Despite herself, Ran started laughing. It was an awkward choked kind of laughter but at the same time, the confusion that had been clinging to her fizzed away.He was being so childish!Her fingers released the folds of his shirt behind his back. She ran her hands up his side and rested them on his chest in front of her.He knew what was at stake, he knew what she worried about—he worried about it too.But in the end, his desire...'Okay,' she said at last.
