Isaiah POV

I feel the pull of the mate bond. I also felt Kaia’s heart race. I know I was affecting her. I thought maybe we would have our moment. When our bodies were against one another, I felt the electric jolts.

Then she pulled back and left. She said she had a long night of monitoring and scurried out of the room. That rejection cut deep. I have to admit. I have been waiting for my mate, and even though she is a pain in the ass, I’m still trying to give us a chance.

We are mates, so I

  • His Clever Mate (Book 3: The 'His' Series)   Chapter 147: Uh-oh

    Kaia POVYesterday was the funeral. Everyone was sad. It’s expected. It seemed split, though. It seems there was some sadness over Amber’s death, but most of it was over Adrian. We all know what he suffered during his time with Amber.Isaiah told me what he and Adrian talked about. It’s understandable why he was so heartbroken. He said some kind words about Amber, and as the funeral was ending, her aunt showed up.Apparently, Isaiah helped Adrian locate her. Her eyes were swollen from crying, but she was quiet. Later, she and Adrian went to talk. When they came back, she looked somber. Adrian must have told her everything, and she must feel bad about her niece’s actions.We put her in a room in the pack house until we can hear from Sinclair. Once she confirms his location, she will update us. It seems strange that it is taking this long, though. I would have thought she would have had information by early afternoon.I’m walking towards Isaiah’s office to see if he has heard from Sincl

  • His Clever Mate (Book 3: The 'His' Series)   Chapter 146: Kid Gloves

    Isaiah POVI’m talking to Aiden in my office when Kaia walks in. She is wearing black stretch pants and a black maternity dress shirt. She is ready for the funeral as well. She also has her phone in her hand."Guys, I updated Sinclair. She said she is closing in on Ronan. She needs predictive software. He's bouncing between three different locations, and she wants to understand the pattern.”Aiden answered before me. “Done. Tell her to get it, and I will reimburse the cost.”She sent the message, and within a minute, Sinclair responded. Kaia smiled at the message.“What did she say?” I asked.“She said that she will hopefully have something by tomorrow.”“That fast?” Aiden asked, surprised.“Once she figured out the best way to track that bastard, it became easy for her. We will get him.”From behind us, we heard Adrian. “Sinclair found him?”Kaia answered. “Almost. Hopefully by tomorrow.”“Then I’m not leaving until we know for sure,” he said determinedly.Aiden stood up. “Adrian, yo

  • His Clever Mate (Book 3: The 'His' Series)   Chapter 145: Closing In

    Sinclair POVI’m in the woods, letting Mali run. We are feeling the air whip through our fur. I’m smiling. I feel carefree. I feel…content.I see a pond. It looks serene. Honeysuckle vines are climbing up trees, and bushes are everywhere, releasing a sweet smell. The pond looks like glass, and I can see the clouds reflected in the sky above it. It looks almost too perfect.I hear rustling behind one of the trees. Mali takes a defensive stance.‘What is it, Mali?’‘I don’t know. Something doesn’t feel right. This whole place doesn’t feel right.’The rustling continues, and in the distance, a man appears. He looks pained…hurt. I stay still. He comes towards me. But then, there is another person with him. A woman. She has a black ring around her neck.What the hell is this? They don’t seem to notice me. I don’t want them to notice me either.‘Mali, let’s go.’But Mali doesn’t move. She tilts her head, looking at the man and woman in the distance. She is very interested in the scene unfol

  • His Clever Mate (Book 3: The 'His' Series)   Chapter 144: Revenge

    Isaiah POVWhen I got the text from Adrian, I knew something was terribly wrong. Kaia saw, rather felt, my anxiety.“What’s wrong?” she asked.“Adrian said the mate bond snapped with Amber and that her wolf was gone. Doctors and nurses were in her room, treating her.”She sucked in a breath. “She’s gone, isn’t she?”“I think so, but Adrian hasn’t confirmed. I told him to call Aiden.”“You should call Aiden. Adrian isn’t thinking straight.”She’s right, so I called Aiden.“Hey, bro. What’s up?”“Adrian needs us. Can you get to Ironclaw?”“What happened?” Aiden asked seriously.I told him about the text messages and what Kaia and I are thinking. He growled low. “Son of a bitch. I’m on my way. Is Sinclair still searching for Ronan?”“Yeah. She opted to stay behind to continue her search. We are going back next week to bring her back,” I replied.“Okay. I’ll call her and tell her I want daily status updates on Ronan. That bastard is going to pay.”“Damn right he is,” I said. “I’ll meet yo

  • His Clever Mate (Book 3: The 'His' Series)   Chapter 143: Gone?

    Adrian POVI stood there, trying to understand what he just said. “What do you mean, gone? She was doing better. How is she now gone?”He took a deep breath and started explaining. “Her vitals went into cardiac distress and oxygen deprivation from one moment to the next. That’s usually an indicator of a blood clot. Ultimately, she suffered a cardiac arrest. We were trying to locate the clot in time, but we were too late. I’m so sorry for your loss, Alpha.”My world just stopped. She’s gone. Not gone like, moved away, and it’s for the best, gone. No. She is GONE. Dead. I will never see her again. Even if I didn’t want to see her again, there would never be an option for that to happen later.I feel the room around me spin. My legs are going weak. I haphazardly make out the doctor grabbing me and guiding me to a chair. My body feels dead inside. Thor is whimpering in my head.“I hate that I loved you.”Those were my last words to her. Oh, Goddess! That’s the last memory either of us had

  • His Clever Mate (Book 3: The 'His' Series)   Chapter 142: That’s not possible

    Adrian POVI didn’t go back to the hospital after my last conversation with Amber. I just couldn’t keep pretending. I couldn’t keep sitting there and talking to her while my very soul felt like it was being crushed.I feel bad for being harsh with her, though. I don’t hate her, but I no longer love her either. I hate the things she did that led to all of this. It’s been two days since I last saw her, and I decided that today, I would apologize to her for my harsh words. I will tell her that I do not love her, but I don’t hate her either. I just don’t have the energy to care anymore.The rejection will need to be clean and swift. I am contemplating calling her aunt. She was the only person in her family who was nice to Amber. I can at least make the arrangements for her aunt to come get her and take her away to heal after the rejection.‘You’re kinder than most, just doing that for her,’ Thor said.‘It’s the only kindness I can give, Thor. Her cruelty far outshines mine.’‘Agreed.’I g

    Kaia POV It's been almost a month since my divorce. I’m heading back to the human city to finalize the asset transfer. Isaiah is with me. He hasn’t left my side at all. Ever since he wore me out that first night, I have been adding to his list. I love having fun with him in bed. I have something I

    Isaiah POV Halfway through the night, my possessive alpha DNA wanted to make sure everyone in the pack knows this woman is mine. I made sure to come inside her, bite down on her mark multiple times, and rub our bodies together so damn much that you can barely smell her scent, and all you smell is m

  • His Clever Mate (Book 3: The 'His' Series)   Chapter 39: Close Calls

    Isaiah POV I panicked when that box started making noise. I grabbed Kaia and shielded her with my body. Sinclair was about to throw it when Adrian kicked it out of her hand and shielded her as well. Sinclair and Kaia didn’t miss a beat, though. They looked at each other, and Sinclair got up and s

  • His Clever Mate (Book 3: The 'His' Series)   Chapter 38: Who did this?

    Isaiah POV“Fuck! These are bombs?” I said in a panic. That means our defenses are hanging by a thread.‘Aiden, Thalia, Mom, Dad, you guys better come to my location. We have a serious problem.” I said in the mind link.‘We are on our way.’ Aiden said.‘We are too.’ Dad said.“They are on their way.
