Openly Mates

Gabbie POV

I went to the Alpha’s cafeteria. Gasps went around when I appeared. It slowed my pace for a second, but I picked up when I saw Kade talking to his friends.

“Kade,” I breathed out.

He looked up and smiled. “I thought you wouldn’t come.”

He pulled out the chair beside him. “Have a seat.”

“I…” Alex sat five chairs away, talking to another Alpha. Eva sat next to her obnoxious mate, Gareth. Leiah and Harlow weren’t anywhere in sight.

“No, we have to talk.”

“Whatever it is, it can wait until you eat, baby.”

Everyone was out of uniform except for me wearing the shirt that told everyone my rank. They gawked at me, and I felt small. Kade tugged on my hand.

“Come on,” he said.

I slowly lowered myself into the chair. Someone gasped but masked it with a cough. Kade rubbed my thigh and smirked. I felt Alex’s gaze just as hot as everyone else’s but I didn’t look at him. A full plate of two eggs, four sausages, baked beans and toast landed in front of me.

“I don’t eat this much,” I said.

    Gabbie POV“Fuck. I have to check this out,” Kade said.“I’ll come with you.”Holden and Kade shared a look.“I could be dangerous, baby. I’ll feel more comfortable if you stay in my room until I come back.”I shook my head. “I’ll go to the omega quarters instead.”They’re all looking at me funny, but there were predators in the Alpha castle. I had a domestic exam coming up. I went to my room and dragged out my clothes. I needed to be perfect at folding and washing to ace this class.The dorm was quiet. I was the only one to fill the silence with the soft sound of clothes being folded and put away. A ripple through the silence happened when two girls burst into the room.“The academy’s never had attacks like this,” the girl with long knee socks told her friend with ponytails.“Or any attacks. Martin said he saw the beast run off after hurting that guy.”“Are you sure he isn’t making it up? How did he see it?“He said he was outside when he saw a huge black wolf run off.”“Ginger, don’

    Gabbie POVKade had been quiet. He joined me in the tub and let me lie on his chest while he poured water on my back with his hand. He stared off into nothing. His mind was probably working a million miles per hour. His body was tense, but I couldn’t come up with what was bothering him. The monster? The trial I would have to go through? Was there more he kept to himself?Later, we wound up in his bed, tangled in each other’s limbs. He held me tightly as if I were a rope keeping him from falling into a river of crocodiles.“Tell me what’s bothering you,” I said.“Don’t worry about it, baby. It’s nothing I can’t handle.”I smoothed the hair on his thigh. “What if I can help?”He chuckled. “You’re helping me now. Are you spending the night with me?”“No, I shouldn’t.”“Why not?”I untangled myself from him and sat up to face him.“I don’t belong here, Kade, you do. I’ll be more comfortable at the quarters.”“At the dark, ugly quarters infested with rats?”I raised a brow at him. “You kno

    Gabbie POVEva handed me a brand-new strip of pills. I received it, thankfully.“Why did you go to the nurse’s alone, if you don’t mind me asking?”“Um, I didn’t want to bother anyone. Since Kade announced me as his mate, everyone’s been giving me the side eye.”Eva pouted. “I’m sorry. You can ask me next time.”“Why?” She knew Harlow and Leiah before me.It was easier to go along with the masses than stand out and do the right thing.“Because I don’t believe any of this is your fault. Alex is— was your best friend, and Kade is your mate, destined by fate. Sometimes we don’t choose who we fall in love with. Harlow doesn’t love Kade. She’s obligated to be with him. She’s blinded by humiliation and rage. Kade didn’t reject her, the moon goddess did them both a favour by erasing the mark Kade gave her. Do you know how rare that is?”I lifted a shoulder. I was accustomed to being hated and taunted. I couldn’t easily accept someone’s kindness. Especially a girl part of the clique that trie

    Gabbie POVKade grabbed a clean shirt from his closet while I dressed in my uniform. He grumbled as he stalked to the door. He yanked it open. Alex waited impatiently on the other side.“They sent you, of all people, to get me?” Kade barked.Alex took me in for a moment before returning to Kade.“Who was attacked?” Kade demanded.“Sabrina,” Alex replied. “Ryan, too.”“Damn it,” he muttered.He turned to me. “Gabbie…”“Let me check out the scene. I won’t touch anything.”“No,” Alex and Kade said in unison.They stared at one another for a brief second.“Alphas only, and the wolf could still be out there,” Alex said.“It’s getting ballsy attacking during daylight.”“Ryan’s my friend, I want to know what happened to him.”“He was your one-time babysitter,” Alex said.“A bad one if he let the baby get slammed against a tree.”“What?” Alex exclaimed. “When did that happen?”“Uh… It’s in the past. I’ll check out anyway, so you might as well take me.”“Giving me orders now, huh?” Kade took m

  • The Omega Best Friend    The sweet scent of a creature

    Kade POVShe stared at me, digesting my revelation. It didn’t make sense to me either, but I knew Gabbie inside out. It was her scent that drew me to her, I wouldn’t mistake it for anything. I knew Alex was fond of her scent, too. It was a matter of time before he thought the same.“I don’t understand.”“Neither do I,” I replied.“Then why did you say that?”“Because it’s true. Both scenes reek of your scent.”Heat rushed to her face. She moved away from me and stopped safely by the bed. She ran her fingers through her strawberry-blonde hair. I hated coconuts, but that was her natural scent. I didn’t like strawberries, but they would permanently remind me of the love of my life.“I wasn’t there except for that one time, I swear.”“This doesn’t look good. Now, when I tell you to keep away from the scenes, will you listen?”I might have fuelled her curiosity by telling her this. She nodded, but I knew better than to believe her. My mate had a skill for getting herself into trouble.“The

It’s right now.”My palms sweat, and I set the cup down.“I thought it was tonight,” I said as I stood from the comfy patio chair.Eva and Gareth stared at us in disbelief.“I meant it when I said I would testify about when Harlow and Leiah attacked you the first time,” Eva said.“Are you sure you want to do that, mate?” Gareth said, rubbing her arm.“I’m not scared of them.”“Thanks, Eva, but Harlow did most of the attacking.”“It still shows that she’s capable of attacking you again,” Eva replied.“I have a strong and compassionate mate,” Gareth said and planted a kiss on Eva’s lips.She blushed and giggled.Kade hauled me away. I had no idea what to expect. I knew for a fact I would be punished because I used illegal blows but if I didn’t, I would be dead. Kade squeezed my hand as we neared the castle.“Don’t worry about i

He only paused to jam his key into the hole and drag me inside.“Sorry, but things are complicated. I have to start training, and my opponents for Alpha will turn up soon.”“Alpha King?”“No, Babe, for Alpha of Sanders pack.”“You have to fight for that too!”He took my hands and tugged me close. I snuggled into him.“I do if there are any challengers.”“Do you think there will be any?” I asked.“Baxter might but he’s too cocky I’m not worried about him.”“I’m worried about this monster wolf and… it smelling like me. Kade, what if it comes back and someone notices?”He rubbed the back of his head. He opened his mouth to speak, but he closed it.“What?” I probed.“Gabbie.”I planted my hand on my hip and glared at him.“Alex knows. I don’t like that he knows your scent. He knows I set the field on fire.”“You did!”“I had to! I couldn’t risk someone else puttin

Every time someone called me by my full name it meant something was wrong.“What?” I turned around to find Alex leaning on the bookshelf.The library was quiet especially since it was late afternoon. Even the librarian wasn’t in. With classes suspended, there was no need to study, though I wanted to keep myself busy. The Omega dance ceremony was tonight which involved petite skirts, tops barely covering our breasts and old folk songs. Plenty of food as well. A huge bonfire would be lit to welcome battle season.A day after the ceremony would be a ceremony where the betas would be pre-chosen for their Alphas. A lot of food would be involved as well.“Shouldn’t you be learning dance steps?” Alex smirked.“I’m not dancing. The older omegas are doing it.”“You’d look hot in those skirts.”“We’re all wearing them.” I shifted on the spot. Communicating with him was still weird because of all that happened between us.“Look Gabbie, I’m sorry. I went overboa

You should have moved?”Dad kicked the lifeless wolf off me, and Kade helped me up.“I wasn’t thinking right, Kade.”He wrapped me in his arms despite my bloody uniform.“It’s okay, it’s over,” he said soothingly.“Kade… that’s my wolf. It’s dead.”“What? How’s that possible?” He demanded.I stared at Dad. He ripped the blade from the animal’s gut and shrugged.“I detached it.”Kade stroked my hair and led me from the scene.“This isn’t over,” Harlow snapped. “The whole school’s going to know you’re a monster!”“Can I bury her with the wolf? Please?” Dad frowned.“No, she’s right, I don’t belong here.”“But you’re part wolf on your mother’s side. That should count,” Dad said.I pointed at the dead black wolf. “That wolf’s dead.”Dad grumbled and busied himself with disposing of the wolf.We got to the door, and Kade lifted me into his arms and carried me into the castle.“Do you still want to go to the omega quarters?” He asked.“I’m good.”He kicke

    Gabbie POV“How could you both give up the most important battle of your lives… for…. for a wolf-less omega! You must be insane.” Harlow raged and paced the living room in the Alpha castle.“It wasn’t about Gabbie,” Alex said.“Yeah,” Kade grunted.He lay on the couch with his feet up, nursing his cracked ribs.“Then let us in on the secret?” Leiah scoffed.“Clearly, they were frightened of meeting me in the final and decided to give up at the last minute. Who can’t blame them?” Gareth said, reclining in a chair with a fat grin.“You’re too cocky for your own good,” Harlow spat. “You’ll eat those words when my jaws are around your neck.”Gareth smirked. “We’ll see about that, Precious.”Harlow shot the rest of us dangerous glares before storming out.“Is anyone going to spill the beans?” Leiah scowled.Kade rubbed my thigh while I stroked his hair.“No, secret. I saw an opportunity and I took it. I thought being Alpha King was all I wanted, but that changed.”All eyes turned to Alex.

    Gabbie POV“Hurry up. Light the torches as soon as you set them up,” Athena demanded.“Don’t forget the moon stones. They have to be on every corner.”“Geez, I’ve never seen Athena this agitated,” Emery hissed.She and I piled water gems from the basement into baskets while the other omegas dealt with the torches and moon stones.“Everything must be perfect!” She yelled.“It’s a big night. I feel like yelling too,” I said.We gathered the last of the water gems and rushed to the ground. I hadn’t seen Kade since this morning, or Alex since yesterday. Though an Alpha female with white hair had been prowling around. There was a chance she could face Kade if they both win their battles.“I’m sorry about your date. We worked extra hard on it,” Emery said.“I can’t believe you hid it from me!”She laughed. “It was fun to do something normal for once. The Academy… hasn’t been the same. Sometimes I think Blair made the right choice.”She stared at the basket of water gems. They were oval shap

    Gabbie POV“Do you have a thing for forests?” I asked.He shrugged. “Been running through the woods since I could walk.”Of course, he had. The violent wind felt like a bad omen, but despite the scent of danger in the wind, the whole truth needed to see the light and breathe again.“I know you’re a Hunter,” I blurted.He gave me a firm nod.“Now that Aiden knows things are complicated for Kade and me.”“It worked for your Mother and me,” he said.He stuck his long knife into the ground and settled on a rock.“Hunting is in our blood. That’s why it comes so naturally, you might have noticed.”I scratched the back of my head, remembering the first time I had to defend myself from a wolf here. My environment came alive. I knew what I could use against it without panicking.“I met Anya first. She hated her family for being born a human while her sister was the strongest female wolf in her whole pack.” A smile lit up his face.“Anya came to me to learn how to be a Hunter. She was a quick l

Kade filled the doorframe and dared them to come any further. The goons must have been caught in two minds because they couldn’t hurt the only heir to the Sanders pack.“Out of the way, Kaden. I warned you this would happen!” Aiden Sanders bellowed.My heart leapt into my throat. He wouldn’t hurt his son. He wanted me.Images of Gareth’s pain, when his mate was killed, flashed in my mind rapidly. The black mark appeared on his chest when she died. If Kade were hurt, a part of my soul would leave with him. He was stubborn and would provoke a fight.I needed to find a way to get out of this without us getting hurt, but the chances for me were devastatingly low.“I told you I’m not leaving her! She’s my fated mate, get that into your thick head.”Aiden fisted Kade’s shirt. “Rejection was created to get us out of the moon goddess’s messes! The Alpha of

    Gabbie POVKade pulled out the chair for me and then moved to sit across from me. He had all the chairs and desks in the classroom removed, but I couldn’t get over the necklace. When did he have time to buy this?It was a big rock. I could see my face in it. Kade had good taste in jewellery. I’d treasure this forever. I brushed the cold stone and smiled. Kade’s chuckle made me snap my head up.“What?”“Am I going to get any attention tonight?”“After this? I’ll give you anything you want!”He laughed. He placed an open hand on the table and stared at me. I squeezed his hand. I had to address the elephant in the room. Could it be worse than my Dad telling me the woman I cherished as my Mom wasn’t my Mother?“What’s on your mind, baby?”“A lot, Kade.”His brows dipped. A woman in black pants and a white shirt walked in holding a notepad. She smiled at us.“Ready to order?” She asked.“Give us a minute, please,” Kade saidShe bobbed her head and turned to leave.“Want to talk about it?”

    Gabbie POV“I’m sorry I ditched you. It’s his damn scent. It drives me crazy,” Leiah said.“Ivan?” I whispered.“I don’t want people to know!” She hissed.Leiah supervised the omegas decorating the Alpha’s VIP seating area for the semi-finals of the battle season in one day.“How’s he doing? That battle with Harlow was intense,” I asked, picking garbage and leaves that blew here from the forest.“He’s pissed. His family’s even madder.”Tomorrow night Kade’s family and Alex’s family will sit on this stage with the instructors and lecturers of the academy to watch this match that could leave me without either one of them. I sucked in a breath and willed myself to think positively. No one was dying.“Have you spoken to Harlow lately?” I asked.She lifted a shoulder. “No, she’s focused on winning this thing. I’m kind of scared for Gareth. He’s not serious at times.”“Leiah, she killed his mate. He’s as serious about this as it gets.”I tied a knot in my second garbage bag of the day. I wa

Forget about your mind and think about your body. Scratch that, let me worry about your body.”Kade slipped away from her strong embrace and hovered above me. He went in full force. Kade dominated me, showing me his passion and desire. I could cling to him to absorb the stress and the tension in my body.Kade vehemently sucked on my swollen clit. I stretched out my arms for anything to hold on to but there was nothing but concrete. Kade was evil. He pulled back just when I was about to cum. He withheld his touch when I was aching for relief.“Have I told you how good you smell?” Kade panted.“Maybe,” I moaned.He’d been doing this when I was about to orgasm. He stopped and I shot his daggers but it was us

He threw his head back and groaned.I planted my hands on my hips and narrowed my eyes.“You’re more than a wolfless… You’re a Luna. Did you forget?”I dropped my arms. I was mated to an Alpha, which meant I would be co-ruler of the Sanders pack when Kaden is crowned Alpha. I walked back to the room. That was more intimidating than facing Harlow again.“What? You’ll make a great Luna.”I didn’t want to get into the Sanders pack, not wanting a wolfless omega for a Luna. I gave Kade a pressed smile, climbed under the covers, and hid my head. It wasn’t long until my mate came after me.“Come here, sexy.”I wiggled to get away from him.“You can’t hide from me.”“Kade!’ I laughed. “I’m still in pain!”“So
