CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

GRAHAM

I stormed into my office, still fuming. How dare she speak to me like that? She had blatantly called me shallow minded to my face without an atom of fear. I would deal with her.

I tried to brush off the thought of her, since it was settled that she’d be punished, but no matter how hard I tried, I kept thinking about her.

I still couldn’t understand why she easily got under my skin and frustrated me so much. She annoyed me so much and when I gripped her neck, she looked so vulnerable and I wanted to rip her head off her body like I’d normally do to my offenders, but for some reason, I hesitated. I just couldn’t do that.

“You did the right thing,” Nicole said and gently squeezed my arm, making me realize that she was still there. “Don’t let her get to you, okay?”

I didn’t respond, I just sat down on my chair and tried to get some work done, but I couldn’t. The mere thought of her infuriated me, making me unable to concentrate.

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Torture him with you

    CHAPTER TWENTY NINEZOEYI was expecting a serious punishment from Alpha Graham, something like locking me up again or maybe even sending me out of the pack, but he just told me to clean the whole pack by myself.Not that it was easy though, but it was far better than what I had expected and I was grateful for it. Perhaps Ronald pleaded with him on my behalf. I made a mental note to ask him later.I continued gathering the leaves that had fallen down and that was when I saw Lily passing by. At first, she didn’t see me but when our eyes met, she fastened her pace.“Lily!” I called out to her but she blatantly ignored me. I was sure that she heard me and it was obvious that she was ignoring me. But I still wasn’t mad at her, it only confirmed my suspicion that something was definitely wrong. I hadn’t known her for a long time but I could tell that she wasn’t ignoring me out of her own will. Something, or maybe someone, was making her act this way.I sighed and wiped the sweat from my f

    CHAPTER THIRTYGRAHAM“It’s so good to see you, dear cousin.” I heard the familiar infuriating voice and I didn’t need to look up to know who it was. “How long has it been? A year or two?”“Why are you here, Theo?” I sighed deeply as I looked up at him.“To see you, of course.” He had a smug smirk on his face as he pulled out a seat and sank into it. “Now tell me, cousin, did you miss me?”“Get the hell out of my office and out of my pack right now.” I told him calmly because I was definitely not in the mood to deal with his spoilt ass. “Go back to wherever you came from.”“Why should I?” He countered and swung his leg over the seat, to show me that he wasn’t going anywhere. “Why can’t I freely visit my cousin?”I sighed out in frustration. I was definitely not in the mood to handle this so I turned to Ronald who stood quietly by the side. “Please get him out of here.” I turned back to my work, expecting Ronald to take Theo out of my office like he normally did, but to my surprise, R

  • The Mate She Can’t See   You’re stuck with me!

    CHAPTER THIRTY ONEZOEYI stood outside and watched the chaos happen. My heart couldn’t stop hammering as I waited for them to come out of Alpha Graham’s office. I knew that they were the council members and it was obvious that they were here because of me.I bit my lips and fiddled with my fingers and I waited nervously. Soon the door opened and they walked out with Ronald behind them.They glared at me as they walked by, showing just how they disliked me. Ronald noticed this, and he gave me a reassuring smile but that wasn’t enough to ease my anxiety.I paced around the hallway, scared and worried, but then I made up my mind. I swallowed both the balls of nerves and my pride, and I knocked on Alpha Graham’s door. I had to beg him to forgive me.I knocked again when I didn’t get a response and normally, that should have made me give up, but I was determined. I took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.He didn’t need to look up to know that it was me, “I’m not in the mood and

  • The Mate She Can’t See   You’re avoiding me

    CHAPTER THIRTY TWOGRAHAMI still didn’t understand why I said those words out loud but I meant it. She wasn’t going anywhere until I figured her out. A few days had passed and I realized that she was ignoring me. My words must have shaken her up. And although I didn’t want to admit, it kind of annoyed me that she was keeping her distance and acting right like she promised to.“It’s the shifting ceremony tonight.” Ronald said, bringing me out of my thoughts.“Is everything ready?” I asked him and he nodded. The shifting ceremony was an important milestone in the life of a werewolf, especially young ones because it’s on that day that they get their wolves.But as much as it was a milestone, and the people were supposed to be happy and feel, I knew they wouldn’t.Just as I expected, when the moon had come out and the people gathered around the bonfire, they seemed uncomfortable and murmured amongst themselves because Zoey was present.“They don’t seem too happy with her being around,”

  • The Mate She Can’t See   I know your secret!

    CHAPTER THIRTY THREEZOEYAfter Frankie bumped into Alpha Graham’s wolf, Gregory, I quickly shifted back to my human form and rushed back.I couldn’t understand what had just happened. After Ronald told me that the pack members weren’t comfortable with my presence, I left, but before I could get to my room, Frankie, my wolf, who only showed up when she wanted to, suddenly came up and convinced me that we should go for a run.I tried to reject the offer since not only was it risky, also because she had abandoned me when I needed her the most and forced me to play the role of a vampire which I wasn’t, making me the subject of mockery and ridicule in the pack.But Frankie pleaded with me, convinced me that no one was around since the shifting ceremony was ongoing, and made me believe that she wouldn’t abandon me again.But then, when we ran into Alpha Graham in the woods which was surprisingly, I knew it was the right time to shift back to prove to him that I wasn’t a vampire.But no mat

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Supporting her

    CHAPTER THIRTY FOURGRAHAMMy mind was a mess. After the brief conversation with the she-wolf and her constant attempt to push me away, I felt so frustrated, and thankfully, by the time I returned, the shifting ceremony was over.I headed back to my room to think about what happened and have some rest, but I felt the need to check up on Zoey. I tried to brush it off but even as I sat on my bed, the urge to see her became overwhelming that I couldn’t resist. I sighed deeply, and I felt annoyed at her for frustrating me. But when I got to her room, I didn’t expect to see the commotion that was happening.She was struggling with James, the chief pack warrior and when I asked what happened, he said she had stolen a pack member’s diamond necklace.It sounded odd to me, especially since I knew that it’d be no use to her. But what annoyed me was how James spoke about Zoey. If he wasn’t my most trusted warrior, I’d have done what I’d regret.I stared at the lady who just walked in, claiming

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Sell me off

    CHAPTER THIRTY FIVEZOEYAlpha Graham finally left, leaving Lily and I alone in silence. “I’m sorry, Zoey.”“Thank you, Lily.” We said at the same time, and we both burst into laughter. “You go first,” she said when we stopped laughing.“Thank you for standing up for me, Lily” I smiled at her and wiped my tears, “I don’t know what I would have done if it wasn’t for you stepping in to support me.”I was sincerely grateful to her, because there was proof against me since they found the necklace in my room. My mind quickly went back to the note and I shivered.Since Cassandra was the one who planted the jewelry in my room, was she also the one who wrote the note? No, it can’t be her, because if it was, as the tables turned on her, she’d have exposed me to Alpha Graham to get some credits. But if it wasn’t her, then who? Who knew my secret?Lily smiled, “It’s really not me,” she said seriously, “You should thank Alpha Graham. He stood by you, it was like he knew that you couldn’t do suc

    CHAPTER THIRTY SIXZOEY“If you’re here to thank me, then you can turn around and leave, because I didn’t do it for you, I did what I felt was right,” Alpha Graham said, rendering me speechless.I had indeed come to thank him for, should I say, standing up for me? But he took the words right out of my mouth and now I didn’t know what else to say.I swallowed, and stubbornly proceeded, “Thank you for doing what’s right.”He looked up and I could see a faint smile on his face but he tried to hide it, “You really don’t listen, do you?” He rested his hand on his desk and leaned his head on it. “This conversation is over.”“I just love showing appreciation, and repaying kindness.” I said seriously, ignoring his warnings. I didn’t like feeling indebted to people as it made me feel like I belonged to them. He gave me a place to stay in excavation for helping his mother, we were even in that aspect. But he stood up for me, even when he shouldn’t have.“Hmm,” he hummed as he tilted his head to

    THE DINNERGRAHAMThere were shirts everywhere.Some on hangers. Most not. One was hanging from the damn lamp like it had been flung there in a fit of despair.I stood in front of the mirror, holding up yet another shirt. Black. Simple. Clean.Too serious.I dropped it on the bed and grabbed a dark green one instead.Too soft.I growled under my breath, yanked open another drawer, and kept digging.Why the hell did I ask her to dinner?The knock on my door came right before Ronald let himself in. No boundaries, as usual.“Graham?” he called out, then froze. “…Did a fashion hurricane blow through here?”I didn’t answer.He stepped inside slowly, surveying the chaos like he’d entered a warzone. “There’s enough fabric in here to clothe a small army.”I held up another shirt and narrowed my eyes at the mirror. “I’m trying to figure out what to wear.”“To…?”Silence.Ronald blinked, then grinned. “Is the Alpha going somewhere that requires… personal grooming?”I ignored him.He kept circli

    ZOEYI slammed the door shut behind me and threw myself onto the bed like I was trying to merge with the mattress. “Ughhh.”“What happened now?” Hannah asked from the couch, where she was lying upside down with her feet over the backrest and a face mask half-sliding off her chin.Lily didn’t even look up from her book. “Let me guess. The Alpha glared at you again and now you’re spiraling.”“No.” I turned my head dramatically to the side. “He asked me to dinner.”That was more than enough to grab their attention. Hannah sat up so fast that her face mask flung onto the carpet. “You’re kidding.”Lily blinked once. Slowly as she observed me carefully. “You’re not kidding.”“He said it’s just a casual dinner,” I grumbled. “Like, ‘friendly dinner, just to talk’ kind of thing. I don’t even know what that means. Since when does Graham talk to anyone? Let alone invite them to dinner.”“You’re dating the Alpha,” Hannah declared, eyes wide with delight. “It’s happening. I knew it. I felt it in m

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Dinner?

    GRAHAMI’d been standing there longer than I wanted to admit, arms folded, watching her move across the training field like she owned it. My pack members thought I was watching them train and so, they tried to impress me, but my eyes weren’t on them. Heck, my mind wasn’t even near them. It was on Zoey. I watched her train and every strike she threw was deliberate, sharp. Focused. She didn’t hold back, not with the random girl she was sparring with, and definitely not with herself. She was giving it her all. Not like a wolf less werewolf. Moments like this made me wonder if she was truly what she claimed to be.I don’t know what it was about her. Maybe the fire. Maybe the fact that she never once tried to impress anyone maybe even that I could feel my wolf stir every time she stepped into view. Or maybe it was just guilt.She wasn’t my mate, that was certain. But what if I didn’t have a mate? What if the moon godddess was giving me the privilege to be with who I wanted to be, and not

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Find her!

    GRAHAMShe told me to let her go.The words echoed through my mind like a broken record that I couldn’t fix. I stood in the empty space long after she had disappeared, the scent of her still lingering in the air and mocking me with everything I couldn’t have.Let her go?How the hell was I supposed to do that?I walked back to the packhouse in silence, not even noticing the people who passed me or the curious glances that they threw my way. I went straight to my room and locked the door behind me. The walls felt too tight, and the air felt too still. My wolf paced restlessly inside me, growling low and angry, but I couldn’t calm him. I couldn’t even calm myself.I dropped onto the edge of the bed and ran both hands through my hair in frustration and gripped it like it would bring me some kind of restraint or peace. My chest burned. My mind screamed and all I could see were her eyes, Frankie’s glowing and calm eyes as she shattered every piece of me.“It was a mistake.”She said that a

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Stuck in my own body

    ZOEYI stormed out of the woods and into my room and I could feel my heart racing, and I clenched my fists so tightly that it felt numb. I didn’t care how calm Frankie looked or acted, all I knew was that I was done being quiet.“You had no right!” I yelled, feeling my anger boil underneath my skin. “You told him to let me go! Why would you do that? Are you okay?”I could feel Frankie standing straight, instead of backing down and explaining things to me. It felt like I was staring straight at her and she was openly challenging me. Her glowing eyes were calm, like always and it infuriated the shit out of me. “He needed to hear it.”“No, he didn’t,” I snapped. “He needed me, he needed us. And what did you do in return? you broke his heart and made me seem like the bad person. Like there’s something wrong with me!”“He was already breaking,” she said quietly. “Don’t put all the blame on me!”I paced around the room, trembling with anger. “I felt it. I felt his pain, Frankie. His anger.

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Shouldn’t have kissed her

    GRAHAMThe fire in the fireplace had burned low, leaving the office in a soft atmosphere. I leaned back in my chair, fingers under my chin, staring at the dying fire. The taste of Zoey still lingered on my lips—sweet, warm, intoxicating. I shouldn’t have kissed her. No. That wasn’t the problem. The problem was that I wanted to do it again. A growl tore from my throat, raw and frustrated. My wolf snarled in my chest, restless, torn between two instincts—one that howled for my mate, Frankie, and another that burned for Zoey’s fire, her defiance, the way she looked at me like I was both the storm and the shelter. This is wrong. But it didn’t feel wrong. And that terrified me. I squeezed my eyes shut, dragging a hand down my face. The bond between mates was sacred. Unbreakable. So why did my pulse race for someone else? Why did my blood heat at the memory of Zoey’s fingers tangled in my shirt, pulling me closer like she never wanted to let go? A whisper of presence brush

    GRAHAMThe Pack House was in its usual state of controlled chaos when we arrived. Warriors lounged in the common area, some sparring, others nursing drinks. A few pups darted between legs, yipping excitedly, while the elders watched from their usual spots near the fireplace, shaking their heads at the younger generation’s antics. And then there was Roland. Leaning against the doorway like he’d been waiting for us (which, knowing him, he had), my Beta raised a brow as Zoey stepped inside behind me. His gaze flicked to the bruise on her temple, the hospital bracelet still stubbornly clinging to her wrist. “Zoey,” he said, voice carefully neutral. “You okay?” Zoey’s eyes narrowed. “Oh, now you care?” Roland blinked. “What?” “Don’t play dumb,” she snapped, jabbing a finger at him. “You snitched.” I crossed my arms, watching the exchange with mild amusement. Roland had always been terrible at lying under pressure. “I didn’t—” “You told him,” Zoey accused, jerking a thumb

    GRAHAMThe scent of pine and wildflowers still clung to the air inside my Jeep, even after she’d vanished into the trees. Frankie. My mate. My wolf had been restless for weeks, aching for even a glimpse of her, and today—today she’d been *close.* Not close enough to touch, not close enough to speak to, but close enough that my lungs burned with the memory of her. I exhaled, leaning back against the seat, my fingers tapping against the leather seat. The pack warriors were spread out nearby, waiting for my signal to move. But for now, I just wanted to savor this—the quiet, the lingering trace of her, the way my pulse had finally slowed for the first time in months. Then— Knock. Knock. Knock. I turned my head, and my breath caught. Zoey. Her hair was piled messily on top of her head, loose strands framing her face. A hospital bracelet dangled from her wrist, and there was a faint bruise blooming along her temple. She looked exhausted. She looked alive.I rolled down the window

  • The Mate She Can’t See   A hit and run!

    ZOEYI stepped out of the café, the door swinging shut behind me with a satisfying click. The air outside was crisp, fresh—unlike the suffocating, latte-scented tension I’d just left behind. Charlie’s words still prickled under my skin, but for once, I didn’t care. I’d won that round. Hannah and Lily were waiting for me across the street, their faces etched with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness. Why were they nervous? Hannah waved enthusiastically, nearly smacking a passerby in the face. Classic. Time to go back to the pack, I thought, grinning. Back to Graham—BAM. Something hit me. Hard. One second, I was mid-step, feeling victorious. The next, the world spun, tilted, and then— Black.--- Beep. Beep. Beep.My eyelids felt like they’d been glued shut. I groaned, trying to lift my arm, but something tugged at my hand. What the—? I forced my eyes open, blinking against the blinding white light. Sterile walls. A weird plastic tube sticking out of my arm. A machine b
