19. Nightmare
Five months later
Mia:
“Pl-please...” a sob broke out of my lips as I took a step back but the pack of wolves kept advancing on me, sneering at me and baring their canines.
The closer they got, the more I stepped backward but they kept advancing on me, circling me in the process. Knowing my end had come, I fell to my knees on my shaky legs and wrapped my arms around myself, quivering and crying silently while pleading with them to let me be. Suddenly, I felt a presence before me. Daring to raise my head, I saw Zander, his dark brooding eyes fixed on me, and the malice and vicious way he glared at me sent a shiver down my spine, my heartbeat thudding erratically.
“I-I’m ssso...” I attempted apologizi

Mated 20. Therapy
Mia:It was just 9 am in the coffee shop and it was still buzzing with different customers as it was a Monday morning and they were all hurrying to get a quick breakfast before heading to their places of work. I was at the counter taking records of sales, while Mandy, my co-worker, and friend, worked the booths, taking care of the customers' orders. She’d just gotten round to take their orders when she sauntered towards me, with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes.“Omigod, Mia, you’ve got to see the customer on the fourth booth,” she drawled, fanning herself to mean he was super hot. “He’s mouth-wateringly, panty melting-ly hot. I mean the kind that got your panties soaked from just the first glance. And those dark eyes, oh boy, they almost made me moan out loud from the sensations they awakened in me the mom
Mated 21. Wrong place, right time
Mia:“You okay?” Sam asked, placing his free hand on my leg and squeezing softly , in an attempt to try to take away the nerves threatening to choke me but instead, they revved up. He stared into my my eyes for a while before returning his attention to the road, driving with one hand on the steering wheel while the other one remained on my leg.We were on our way to the therapist’s office and I just couldn’t stop my heart from beating widely against my chests. I’d had nightmares last night but this time, not of the wolves threatening to devour me, but of the man I’d seen at the diner, whose face I couldn’t place. But for some reason, the sight hunted me in my dreams, without a face. This had further convinced me to see a therapist, yet, I was skeptical of the outcome.
Mated 22. Alive
Giovanni:My eyes remained on her face, watching her like a hawk while she slept, looking so peaceful. It had been a shock to see her at my doorstep after so many months of not having her in my life. At a point, I’d considered she was dead and I blamed myself every day for being responsible for that, telling myself if I hadn’t bitten her when I’d panicked, she might have still been alive. But now, she was here in my bed and I felt as though my heart just started working after five months.I tucked a stray hair behind her ear and leaned down to kiss her forehead before rising from my seat beside her, on the bed. Stripping off the sweats pants I’d quickly pulled on when she’d announced her arrival, I walked into the bathroom, a happy smile stretching me lips_something I hadn’t known in a while.
Mated 23. Hiding
Mia: “Thank you for the ride,” I muttered to him, desperately avoiding his gaze as I attempted to dash out of the car but he quickly grabbed my arm, pulling me back to my seat, his hand resting heavily on my leg. My eyes flew to his, and I gulped. They portrayed a determination that I knew wouldn’t be deterred. He wanted me back and while that should be a good thing, I couldn’t let it happen. Not after everything I’d done. Ending our relationship at this point was the best way out, although my traitorous heart and betraying body were screaming a different thing. “When do you close from work?” he asked, his fingers lightly caressing my leg and for a moment, I was grateful for the leggings I was wearing. “By 12 noon,” I lied, licking my lips and meeting his eyes, hoping he wouldn't detect it.
Mated 24. Date
Mia:“I-I...” I licked my lips, my gaze drifting from him to the floor.He remained silent, still demanding an explanation and I knew I had to tell him the truth, or at least, part of the truth.“H-he’s an ex-boyfriend. I used to know him when I lived in Blackwood. I didn’t know he was the guy you’ve always been complaining about, your boss. So umm...” I licked my lips again, meeting his eyes. “And I never expected to see him again. The shock made me faint and he kept me in his place all night. I'd woken up very late,” I stared at him, hoping he’d believe me. “Sam, I’m sorry...”Sam released a deep breath, threading his hands through his hair.
Mated 25. Touble
Mia:We strode towards the front door but just before Giovanni could sidestep Layla, she blocked his path, throwing her body against his and I tried at that moment to pull my hand from his hold but it only tightened while his dark eyes landed on Layla’s smiling form, his brows knitting together. With his free hand, he grabbed Layla and pulled her from him, keeping her at arm's length.“You have five minutes to leave or get thrown out by the security. Make a choice,” his cold voice spoke, not sparing the woman one glance as he pulled me with him into his home as though he couldn’t stand being in the same environment with the woman, talk more while having a conversation with her.“Baby...” Layla tried, her voice sounding broken and my heart pricked at the heartbr
Mated 26. Married
Mia:I woke up to a warm body pressed against me, with an arm wound tightly around my waist, his soft breath fanning my neck. Without having to turn around, I knew where I was_Giovanni's home. The light streaming into the room told me it was morning already and I knew I had to report for work. Stretching as much as I could with Giovanni’s tight hold, I tried my best to slide away but his hold only tightened, causing my lips to stretch in a smile.“Babe...” I murmured, turning to stare at his face. Although his eyes were still closed, I saw the way his Adam's apple worked in his throat when I pressed my chest to him so I knew he was very much awake.“I need to go to work,” I told him, watching his face while grinning.
Mated 27. New home
Mia:I heard the sound of the door opening before Giovanni came into view, a baffled look on his face.“Babe...” he called but I ignored him and continued with my task, bile rising in my throat from their attitude but then there was a part of me that couldn’t fault them for their actions. I was the one to be blamed because I was the one that had unresolved issues that I was doing nothing to solve. Probably, I needed a fresh beginning with new people in my life, not the ones I’ve hurt with my selfish actions.“What did he do to you, Gattino?” he growled out, reaching for me but I slapped his hand away, while I tried to zip up my suitcase. “Mia...” he growled out, this time, pulling me into his arms. “If you don’t tell me what’s goin
