I take my time in the bathroom. It had been ages since I'd been allowed to have heated water for a bath, not even when the weather was freezing.

In the Ravenwood pack, the weather didn't affect them much with their active genes, but it was hell for me.

My aching bones didn't hurt so much anymore, which was a relief. I never wanted to feel that pain again.

I avoided looking at myself in the mirror, afraid of what I would find.

I caressed the small of my back with my fingers, a heavy burden settling on my shoulders at what I could feel.

I couldn't stay here. They would kill me if they found out what I was—something even I wasn’t sure of.

I cleansed myself and got into the dress I was given.

It was a pretty green dress. It suited the color of my eyes—the lenses I had on.

I didn’t know what to do with my hair. There were no tools to detangle the mess it was in, so I tied it up as usual. I was never allowed to let my hair down at my former pack. Lucas hated it. He said it brought too much

  • The Mate's Forbidden Secrets    Chapter Eighteen

    My head snapped to the side in search of the one I knew that scent belonged to.Danny’s eyes followed my movements, and she watched me in confusion.“Looking for something?” she curiously inquired.Or someone, rather.I couldn't possibly tell her I somehow perceived the scent of the Alpha King and was searching for him like a crazed woman. Saying it out loud would sound even crazier than it did in my head.I cleared my throat and shook my head at her.I must have imagined it. If he wasn't present, there was no way I could have sniffed in his scent.I followed Danny out from between the shelves and back behind my desk, thanking her for taking the time to show me around, and she waved it off, saying it was no problem.She continued to stand awkwardly in front of my desk, and I was about to ask if something was wrong, worried I had somehow done something to upset her.“Lunch is in thirty minutes. Do you want to go out to have lunch with me?” Danny asked sheepishly, looking like she was h

  • The Mate's Forbidden Secrets    Chapter Seventeen

    I was dropped off in the largest library I had ever seen. The Ravenwood Pack library paled in comparison to this.I remained in awe at my surroundings and looked back to see Aria and Melanie waving at me, a heavy smile settling on my face.I headed into the library, my eyes scanning my entire surroundings as I trailed deeper into the large space, filled to the brim with books of all kinds.My insides felt like that of a kid being shown candy.What could I possibly be doing here?I timidly moved into the room, reigning in my excitement as my eyes searched for Elder Isolde—and they zeroed in on her.She noticed my presence the same second I noticed hers.“Child, you’re here, come,” Elder Isolde called, her eyes drifting back to the book lying in front of her.I cautiously walked closer, nearing enough to take a peek at the large book opened before her.The moment I was near, she pulled off her glasses and gave me her full attention, her eyes brimming with worry as they looked over my fi

  • The Mate's Forbidden Secrets    Chapter Sixteen

    Aria directed me to go take a shower. Once we were done here, we'd be headed to meet Elder Isolde.Apparently, the King had also told them about my new appointment.I got out of the shower and slipped into neat, cute clothes—a short summer dress that fell just above my knee.I was happy to find hair care equipment already situated in the bathroom.God bless Aria's soul.It was the most soothing thing to have my hair washed. I unfolded it from the towel it was wrapped in, now at a loss on how to comb it myself.I didn’t think I should be asking Aria for help with such a task.“Do you need help in there, Valerie?” I jumped at the soothing sound of Aria’s voice, my eyes widening.How did she—? Almost like she could tell what I was thinking. Her soft, amused laughter filled the air.“I’ve heard you let out like fifty sighs in the last ten minutes,” she laughed, her voice still crackling with amusement.Oh right. Werewolf hearing.I sighed dramatically this time for good effect, and Aria l

    “I need to take your shirt off, Valerie,” the King fiercely commanded, his eyes blazing. “No.” I let out a loud shriek, followed by a wince at the rapid movement of trying to move away from him. “We need to properly clean your side.” His nose flared. I took in a large breath. I was too weak to handle the painful beating of my heart against my ribs. “No,” I panted out again. This was non-negotiable. The King's eyes flashed swiftly from the large injury to my eyes, as if trying to gauge how serious I was. He looked like he was momentarily considering pinning me down onto the bed and taking my shirt off before he let out a long sigh, wiping his other hand over his face. I wanted him out of my personal space. “Valerie, I need to see the full extent of the injury,” the King spoke quietly, like he was speaking to a wounded, out-of-control animal. “I'm not that hurt. I'll hold my shirt up, and then you can treat it,” I blurted out in a rush, hiding my shaking fingers. I could never l

  • The Mate's Forbidden Secrets    Chapter Fourteen

    I turned my head away from him, ashamed that I looked pathetic in front of him.He stood and stalked to one of the trees, pulling out a bag of clothes.My face flared with heat, and they burned red at his exposed skin. He put on a shirt and pants in no time before returning, his face twisted in deep thought.The King placed one hand against my back and the other at the back of my knees and lifted me up in his arms like I weighed nothing.I inhaled sharply at the third time he was picking me up this way.My heart was running a marathon, and I knew he could hear.I resigned from fighting him and held still, hesitantly placing my head against his chest, my nose taking in his scent. We both remained in silence, and my ears focused on the rhythm of his heartbeat, and I sighed in content.I ignored the part of my mind that warned me not to feel that way.I didn't know I had fallen asleep halfway back to the main pack grounds until distinct chatter pulled me awake.“They do this every night

  • The Mate's Forbidden Secrets    Chapter Thirteen

    My blood and body froze at the sight in front of me. The rogue wolf had an ugly snarl on its face, its teeth bared forward in anger.I felt my breathing grow ragged and my chest heaving.I had never seen a rogue wolf before, but I’d heard of how cruel and brutal they could be. They treated the rest of werewolf kind like a threat, and us likewise, because of their mad and dangerous features.What was a rogue wolf doing so close to the royal pack?Rogue wolves always went in groups, just like a pack. If this one was here, then—I drew in a sharp breath. Two other rogues pulled themselves out from behind the large trees, their fur rough and pitch black, just like the first one.The angry growl from one of them had me flinching.My shaking feet tried to take a slow step backward, but that was nearly impossible without ruffling the rogues.My only option was to somehow run as fast as I had come here, but that was also almost impossible—because I had no idea how I got here in the first plac
