Thoughts of my mate plagued my mind all day.

I couldn’t go five minutes without thinking of her mouth and what she tasted like. I could feel her heart hammering through her chest as I kissed her, I could almost taste her confusion and wariness, but she’d kissed me back because the truth was that as much as her mind was telling her to run, the mating bond was telling her something completely different.

She’d convinced herself that all she wanted was her revenge and I was willing to give her that

    When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was how empty and cold the bed was.I was no longer on my side of the bed, I was on the complete opposite side with my arms cuddling a pillow that smelled like Elias.My cheeks burned a bright shade of pink as I quickly pushed the pillow away. It was embarrassing enough that I remembered asking Elias to hold me last night. This was another degree of weird that I wasn’t ready to touch.I dragged myself out of bed and glanced at the clock. It was a bit late to join Erina in the gym, but I figured it was better than nothing. I had no idea how facing her would feel after my escape attempt yesterday, I could only hope she would understand.By the time I made it to the gym, she was just seated on the yoga mat. She looked up as soon as I opened the door.“Finally,” she mumbled, pulling herself to her feet. “I thought you wouldn’t show up. We’re so behind schedule.”I stared at her blankly, wondering if I’d just imagined the exchange. She didn’t seem

    Sleep didn’t come easy to me.It never did, but it didn’t take long before Isadora fell asleep.Watching her was nothing short of a beautiful experience. She kept her back to me the entire time, almost as if she was trying to hide from me, but that didn’t stop me from watching her.By the time she fell asleep, her soft breathing filled the air and I watched the rise and fall of her chest for fear that if I closed my eyes, she’d run again.I knew who hurt her. It wasn’t hard to deduce once I’d gone on my run.Carlos had his differences with her but he’d never hurt her. He wasn’t that type of person. He respected women too much to lay a hand on them. Erina loved her too much to hurt her sand Isadora would never have tried to hide it if it was truly an accident.That left only one other person with enough access to her to hurt her, and the only thing that stopped me from killing Felicity myself was the fact that Carlos told me Isadora needed me. He wouldn’t explain further, he wouldn’t g

    Carlos didn’t turn back, so I instantly assumed the worst.I unpacked my bags slowly, waiting for the moment that Elias would burst into my room demanding an answer.Every second seemed like an eternity. Time seemed to move by even slower. I couldn’t tell if it was my anxiety or if it truly was just moving a bit slower.By the time I’d unpacked my bags, Elias was nowhere to be found. I waited up a bit longer, sitting cross-legged in bed, but he still didn’t show. I fell asleep sometime after midnight, but I wasn’t asleep for long before I heard the door creak open.I hadn’t locked it after Carlos left.I held my breath as the door creaked and footsteps got closer to my bed.I tried to keep my breathing even and calm my raging heart as the door clicked shut.I wasn’t so terrified anymore, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t a bit nervous. I knew Elias wouldn’t hurt me, but it wasn’t me I was scared of. I’d heard stories of even the most logical men doing stupid things where their mates were

    My heart was hammering in my chest as I ran back to my room.I slammed the door behind me and locked it, stopping only when I felt safe enough to breathe. My skin was alight with goosebumps and my knees buckled beneath me. The only thing I could do to keep from falling over was to lean against the door and slide down slowly to the ground.I knew what Elias was.I’d known of him before meeting him, and I’d known what he was every day since then, but seeing him lose control like that, it fucking terrified me. It wasn’t because I thought he’d hurt me, no, but rather because it reminded me of the moment in the hallway with Felicity.It reminded me that I was nothing but prey to them. I was a wolf, I was weak. They could snap me like a twig without breaking a fucking sweat.I tried to shut out the picture of the sharp claws that grew from his hands. It would be so easy to cut me open with them. He wouldn’t even have to break a sweat, and he hadn’t even fully shifted either.It wasn’t fair

  • The Lycan's Rejected Mate   CHAPTER 24: ELIAS

    I knew something was wrong the moment she refused to step out of her room.I tried to chalk it up as paranoia, but I couldn’t rest. The beast on my inside screamed that I should keep an eye on her, and it took everything to not camp outside her door. I knew that whatever she had planned, I had to let it play out.I watched from afar as she snuck out through the back doors and once I saw her running, I knew there were only three possible places she could leave the pack from. I made a split second decision then and called Carlos and Erina, pulling them away from the festivities and having them positioned at potential exits.It was a stroke of fucking luck that I was able to find her.She stiffened above me. “Let me go, Elias.’“Why? So you’ll run? No can do, Isadora.”I pulled myself to my feet while keeping a firm hand around her.She was panting hard, whether that was from minutes of running or from the tackle, I didn’t know. There was grass all over her jacket and her hair, but she d

  • The Lycan's Rejected Mate   CHAPTER 23: ISADORA

    I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little bit concerned after he said that.If they hadn’t summoned an Alpha in centuries then why summon him now? It was obvious it had something to do with us and that scared me. Had Ethan reached out? Did they find out what happened between Ethan and I?So many questions were running through my mind and not enough answers. If I had any doubts about leaving before, they were eliminated in that moment. I needed to leave and I needed to do so urgently.“Isa,” Elias’ voice was soft.I hadn’t even realized when he walked up to me. He was so close to me that my nose brushed his shoulders. He wasn’t touching me, not yet, but I could feel his hands hovering over my body. His scent filled my lungs, forcing me into a false sense of calm.It was incredibly overwhelming how much he could do without even touching me.Before I could stop myself, I found myself leaning forward, letting my head rest on his shoulders. The moment I did, his hands wrapped around my back
