My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE
Seeing Sarah smile, even if it’s a tiny smile, at another man, it’s like a punch in the gut for me.For a moment, all the air leaves my body in a vicious manner. I stare in her direction, my grip on Fergus tight as my body trembles.‘She’s not smiled even once.’That’s not true, I think to myself, the pain a raw gnawing feeling within me. There is someone who makes her smile. It’s just not me anymore.The male puts his hand on her shoulder and she doesn’t remove it.Almost as if she’s used to it.I hear the crackle of thunder and Fergus lets out a distressed whine.Even all the way across, Sarah immediately shifts and her eyes meet mine.I feel numb as I stare at her, the sight of his hand on her shoulder making me feel cold inside. For the first time, I feel all alone. Till now, there had been this small hope, this desire that maybe things will work out between us but Sarah has clearly begun to move on.Maybe that’s what she had meant back then. She
My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY TWO
The wolf shifter is taken to the infirmary, a difficult feat considering the raging snowstorm. However, he had managed to trip some alarms when entering the territory so help had arrived pretty quickly.“Who is he?” I ask, leaning against the wall outside the infirmary.Ezekiel who had just walked out looks troubled, “An old friend. And old pack mate.”I hear the clicking sound of shoes and then another man enters the waiting room and I nearly jolt in recognition.He’s the same man who had approached Sarah in the forest. The one she had smiled for. Up close, I see that he is a handsome man with a gentle face.“Any update, Peter?” Ezekiel asks.“Your wolves tracked him all to the border and past it. I’ve sent a few of them to follow the trail but most of his injuries are old. A few days old. His healing was slow though.”“Poison,” Comes a heavy voice from behind us and I look over to see a female healer standing there. “His injuries are grave but he’s regained c

The growl that leaves my mouth has everybody looking in my direction.“Sarah can’t go. She can’t shift!”I see Sarah flinch and then her eyes turn dull and I immediately realize that she has mistaken the meaning of my words and I continue, hastily, “She can get hurt! We have a son! He needs his mother! And sending Sarah to what is a war zone is not a feasible idea. She may be experienced but she is also very young. You are talking about a full fledged battle zone.”The soldier that Sarah had smiled at before nods, “I agree. Putting Sarah in danger is unnecessary.”“She goes,” The Phoenix looks at me, unbothered. “Without my guardian present, I can’t control my powers.”I take a moment to process, that, having never known that before. “If the Phoenix goes, then our odds are better,” Ezekiel admits but he doesn’t seem very willing to send Sarah in the face of danger.A discussion erupts while Sarah just sits there quietly.Finally, as it begins to get heated, she
My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE
“What was what?” I ask her, my tone a little light, this airy feeling of delight inside of me to have her talking to me.I can see the look of frustration in her eyes, “That little show that you put on inside. You had no reason to threaten Peter!”The slight happiness inside of me suddenly fades at her words.I stare at her for a few seconds, questions on the tip of my tongue, questions which will no doubt hurt my feelings. But I can’t help myself.My smile is small and bitter, “So, it was that easy for you to find yourself another man?”My words are sharp and I can see that I’ve touched a nerve with her but I remember that quiet smile she had given Peter and my heart aches. She opens her mouth and I take a step back, “I should go. Sorry about that.”My tone is a little more subdued but my heart is hurting too much. I feel like a fool, a lovesick puppy who had been hoping for …. Hoping for what exactly?My steps are hurried as I try to walk away from her and in my
My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY SIX
When her question is followed by silence, I see her watching me through the rear view mirror.I just avoid looking at her.In my wolf form, I can’t talk to her and the link we used to have is long gone. Or at least, I’ve never tried using it.There’s a strange look in her eyes when I finally meet her gaze and she finally asks, “Shift back.”I refuse, silently. The only reason I got in the jeep was so that she would not freeze to death outside. I see her expression tighten at my stubbornness.“Fine,” She mutters.She starts the jeep and then stops it, pulling out the keys from the engine.It would be easier for me to simply shift back and ask her what’s going on in her head but I refrain from doing so. Finally, after a long few seconds, she says, “Peter is a friend.”I go still at her words and then before I can even think further, she is starting the jeep. Her voice is quiet, restrained in a way it had never been before, “You shouldn’t run out into a

“I did ask her,” I say, slowly. “I asked her once before and I asked her this time.”Ezekiel freezes at my words, “What?”“I begged her,” I say, hollowly. “But she refused. She said she didn’t blame me for anything but she has no more desire to try anymore.”My gaze lifts to meet his and I feel weariness deep inside me, “You think I don’t want to just take her back with me? Despite everything I’ve done to that woman, you think I still don’t want to be selfish enough to drag her back and fix things? You say I’m playing the martyr and a coward but I don’t want to take any step which will cause any further damage to Sarah. I’ve caused her enough. If you were in my position, you would do the same. She has to choose me herself this time. She has to forgive me herself. All the groveling int he world or forcing her isn’t going to make a difference till she is ready to forgive me. And I don’t think she is.”Ezekiel is silent, “So, you’re going to just watch her choose another man t
My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT
Sarah’s hold is tight as I rest my head against her chest, trying to get myself under control.She doesn’t let go of me, even when I stop shaking.I don’t know how much time has passed but she hasn’t stopped stroking my head, trying to comfort me.At some point, I finally mutter, “I’m okay. I’m fine.”Her arms tighten around me, momentarily and then she let’s go. But she doesn’t move away.I don’t meet her gaze, feeling ashamed.I can feel that she wants to say something and a moment later, she does. But it’s not what I was expecting.“How long has this been going on for?”Her words are not soft but sharp and she sounds a little upset. Or maybe I’m just projecting.I scratch my head, still not looking at her, “Don’t worry about -““How long, Lucas?”This time there is no hiding the anger in her voice and my jaw tightens, “Does it matter? It’s my problem. It’ll go away.”“That’s not an answer.”It does occur to me, a dim thought, that when it comes
My True Mate CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE
I’ve seen a motorbike only once in my life. It was a bar in a town I had once hunted down a rogue wolf shifter too.The machine had been a work of art, all sleek lines, emitting a sound that was like a fierce roar and a purr. I had admired it from afar but things like jeeps and motorbikes are not human technology that shifters ever embraced, partly because as Sarah had revealed during one of her meetings where she enforced change in the pack, the more we embraced technology, the more dangerous we would have become to the organization that is hunting us down.So we were deliberately kept in the dark ages by the moles planted in our packs.“What is that thing?” Peter asks, doubtfully.I don’t even bother to reply, walking over and running my hands over the machine, a little excited, “Where did you get this?”“I ordered a few from one of the bigger cities,” Sarah replies, quietly, after a brief hesitation.“How did you-?”I’m so excited about it that I lift my gaz
