Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 1: It's Not Manly
Ran had gone a distance from the clearing to escape the crowd of the Full Moon Gathering and look at the stars. She tilted her pale face to the moon, coal black eyes reflecting the galaxy visible tonight. How peaceful. She pursed her lips.Lately, the monthly werewolf gatherings held to report pack activity had gotten stressful.She braced herself for more unwanted attention and returned to the bonfire at the centre of the clearing. There it was! She felt a large hand reach out to touch her from behind. Instinctively, she lifted her leg and swung it at her attacker. The offending party dodged her lethal kick with inhuman ease.'Woah!' he exclaimed. 'Easy, girl. It's a party. Chillax a little.'The culprit lifted his arms in mock surrender, a wide smile on his face. She frowned.'A drink for you?' he asked. Her fingers twitched.'No, thank you.' She continued walking.He followed her. 'Don't like beer? What would you like? I'll get it for you.'She glanced sideways at him. Like most wer
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 2: Negotiating A Mutually-Beneficial Arrangement
'When were you going to tell me about this?' Caph asked Acamar casually. He sounded amused.Ran had multiple problems with this.Firstly, she had no intention of handing over her right to be Alpha to her uncle, the Regent. As the late Alpha's only daughter, she was the rightful leader of Eridanus and she intended to lead the pack herself. That was the reason she trained so hard to become a Beta even though she was already her father's heir. Secondly, even if she decided to marry—which would never happen—she would choose a partner on her own. Acamar had no business ordering her to marry anybody, much less an entitled domineering playboy from a purebred pack.Sure, it was a good political move to form an alliance with a revered ancient pack, especially if the other party was the Alpha's fourth son. An unranked purebred werewolf was considered more elite than a regular pack Alpha.But Caph's suspension from a human college for his scandalous act said a lot about his character!Finally, C
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 3: Be Convincing
Caph's quick agreement to Ran's proposed arrangement stunned her. She had expected some resistance or some sort of negotiation.But all he did was smile an infuriatingly casual smile and ask, 'How in love do we need to be?' His blue eyes had turned green in the yellow tint of the bonfire, his chiselled jaw sharper in the shadows of the night. She could smell his wolfy scent this close up.Her uncle should have at least chosen a less irritating werewolf!Ran pushed him away with her hands on his chest, saying, 'Not so much. Just enough to convince my uncle.'She felt his heartbeat quicken through her fingers, his body warmer than she expected. His loose white t-shirt was draped over him in a way that revealed the lean muscles along his arms and chest, barely separating them from each other. An electric shock jolted through her palms until she was heating up with heat that did not come from the bonfire.It was a bizarre sensation she had never felt before with anyone—not once during her
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 4: Physically Strong But Weak
Ran decided to spend the rest of the Full Moon Gathering up a tree. After all, she had slapped Caph in front of all the werewolves at the Gathering. Sure, they were pretending not to be interested but nobody was fooled.Especially not Acamar.He saw her mess up—there was no doubt about it.He had been too far away to hear the offensive things the arrogant Alpha of Cassiopeia's fourth son said to her but close enough to make out the slap.She didn't need a human's EQ to understand what it looked like.Ever since her parents' death, Ran had dreamt of one day avenging them as Alpha of Eridanus. She had worked very hard towards her goal and thought of doing nothing else since.Her life was dedicated to becoming the best fighter in the pack, the swiftest and most powerful, so that no one would mess with her people again.Ran picked absently at the branch she was sitting on, frustrated that even after all her efforts, all people saw when they looked at her was a jaded female heir who needed
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 5: Who Is Caph Really?
The week after the Full Moon Gathering, all her pack could talk about was Caph. How handsome and courteous he was. How gentlemanly and unlike the rumours they themselves had spread. How taken he was by their unromantic Beta.How he would take good care of her if he become Alpha of Eridanus.Ran had a hard time smiling her way through these conversations.Did any of them know who Caph really was?That question made her realise she had no idea either, and so between her Beta duties, she made it her mission to find out.Most difficult part was to sort through rumour and truth. Werewolves didn't keep written records—they passed down history and facts through word of mouth. But that was the way gossip travelled as well, which was what made it was very hard to tell the difference.There were, of course, stories that were not allowed to be changed by the authority of the Alpha and these were generally how the younger generation learnt werewolf history.As a result, Ran spent her free time wit
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 6: All These Expectations
Acamar had invited Caph to the Eridanus manor for breakfast today.Ran was to wait on the porch steps to welcome him.She stalked downstairs, tightening her ponytail and positioned herself in front of the darkwood door like a guard, grumbling to herself inside her head.Her uncle was leafing through human newspapers idly even though this engagement was his idea in the first place.He was testing her.She was sure of it.Caph came in a taxi, dressed in a white t-shirt that revealed the silhouette of his torso when he moved. His tousled red-brown hair was messy, like he had just woken up.'Why are you so pissed?' Caph asked as he walked up to her, hands in his jean pockets.Ran smoothed out her expression and smiled at him.He stared at her, blue eyes transfixed. 'Did you wake up on the wrong side of your bed? Had a nightmare or something?'She shook her head.He continued to instigate her with his misty seductive eyes. 'You look very pretty when you smile,' he said.The tips of her ears
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 7: First Date
Ran led Caph into a study room and shut the door behind him. Books lined the walls and framed the windows. A large black-wood desk stood in the middle of the room.He had never seen a werewolf own that many books. His eyes fixated on some ancient-looking books.'That's my father's collection of werewolf literature,' she said.Caph's eyes widened.Werewolves had no affinity with books. They certainly didn't make a habit of writing them. They were an animalistic species after all.Ran leaned against the edge of the black-wood desk. 'He's not like my uncle.'Caph smiled. 'Your father–'Ran's expression had changed. The warmth in her voice was gone and her black eyes were hostile.'My father isn't a bad Alpha, he just had a different way of leading the pack. He worked the hardest in all of Eridanus. Just because he read books and spent a lot of time staring at maps doesn't make him weak.'As Ran's pretend boyfriend, Caph would have to train under Acamar to become the next Alpha. There was
Her Unwelcome Mate Chapter 8: Another Manifestation of True Love
He was too close.Ran raised her hand to slap Caph.He anticipated this and caught her hand.A mischievous smile took over his face, blue eyes amused.'Just an arrangement,' he pointed out.Heat rose in her cheeks. She scowled.It was already getting difficult to tell the difference between the act and the real thing. He was confusing her by doing things they had not yet discussed.'Why are you so legalistic about romance anyway? I mean, you must have liked someone before, right?'There was a pause. A waiter filled their glasses with ice water.Ran waited for him to go away and tried to think of a way to change the topic.She didn't want to talk romance.But she wasn't interested in getting to know him better either.Caph looked at her expectantly. She sighed.'Romance is a lie,' she said to Caph. 'It's an stupid concept used by society to take advantage of people's weaknesses and undermine true love.''Oh? So what is true love?'Ran narrowed her eyes. She had not expected that questio
