The Unexpected Fated Mate Chapter 32
Anna I stood in the foyer long after she left, trying to piece together what had just happened. Vivienne. Michael’s mother. Of course she was beautiful—elegant in that perfectly polished, intimidating way. Her clothes screamed old money, but it wasn’t just her appearance that had me rattled. It was her energy. She hadn’t looked at me like I was some passing guest or a casual acquaintance. No. She had studied me. Like she was trying to understand how—why—I was here. Why I was anywhere near her son. And when I told her I was Michael’s friend… that shift in her eyes, that flicker of discomfort, it sank into me like a splinter I couldn’t get out. Her uneasiness, her hesitation… it wasn’t just surprise. It was concern. Disapproval. I leaned against the wall, pressing my hand to my stomach. I didn’t even realize I was shaking until I tried to steady my breathing. What if she didn’t think I was good enough for him? Hell, what if she was right? This woman could show up whenever
The Unexpected Fated Mate Chapter 31
28 Years Ago — The Sands of Aswan, Egypt The desert sun was merciless, but Vivienne Stone barely noticed. Her focus was on the woman lying before her—bloodied, trembling, and very much in labor. Around them, members of her missionary team stood frozen in shock, none knowing what to do. But Vivienne… she moved with purpose. The woman’s name was Sekhmet, a name that carried weight even in whispers. Her dark eyes burned with pain and determination. Vivienne had found her barely alive outside the ruins, her body weak but cradling the swell of life within her. Her people—an ancient and peaceful pack known only in myth—had been hunted and massacred by poachers. Vivienne could still see the tracks. Blood had soaked into the sand. Sekhmet’s pack had lived in harmony with the desert for generations. They were of a sacred bloodline, direct descendants of the primal wolves who had once guarded the pharaohs. Shapeshifters. Guardians. Bound by an oath never to harm a human soul—because they ha
The Unexpected Fated Mate Chapter 30
Vivienne (Michael’s Mother) Limited POV The soft hum of conversation and the gentle splash of water echoed through the upscale nail salon, where only the most elite clients could even dream of booking an appointment. Nestled in one of the plush leather chairs sat Vivienne Stone, regal as ever, her posture poised and back straight despite the lavender robe draped casually over her shoulders. Her manicured fingers cradled a crystal wine glass as a young technician worked carefully on her pedicure. “What on earth are they whispering about?” Vivienne muttered, her voice low but sharp enough to cut. Her eyes scanned the room—two stylists and a few women across the way were hunched over, whispering with animated expressions behind barely-disguised glances. “I swear, people love to gossip.” Marla Westin, her oldest friend and a woman nearly as feared in social circles as Vivienne herself, gave a small smirk and sipped her wine with the ease of someone used to secrets. “They could be talki
The Unexpected Fated Mate Chapter 29
Michael I leaned back in the leather chair in my private study, the room dim except for the soft amber glow of the lamp on my desk. The estate was quiet now. Anna and Dawn were in the guest wing. Ethan was asleep. And me? I was spinning—thoughts unraveling like thread, looping around one name. Anastasia Davenport. My fingers drummed against the armrest as I played the last few days over in my mind. The kidnapping. The shift. The attack in town. The scratch that nearly killed Darla. And then Anna—bleeding for the same woman who had tried to rip her apart. She didn’t hesitate. She acted purely on instinct. Compassion, even for someone who didn’t deserve it. She was still trying to come to terms with what she was. Hell—I was still trying to understand it myself. Whatever lived inside her wasn’t ordinary. She appeared so soft, fragile… but there was a beast beneath the surface. A lethal one. One that could kill with a single swipe. Even me. The thought sent a jolt of adrenal
The Unexpected Fated Mate Chapter 28
Anna Michael’s estate was quiet when we arrived, the kind of stillness that settles after chaos. Ethan was already asleep upstairs, tucked away under heavy blankets by one of the guards who had practically become family. Dawn had gone to the guest room to freshen up, but my stomach was in knots knowing the conversation ahead of us. I found Michael in his study, seated on the leather couch with a tumbler of whiskey in one hand, his other arm draped along the backrest. His sleeves were rolled to his elbows, the top few buttons of his shirt undone. He looked like he’d been carrying the weight of the entire world on his shoulders. And I was about to add more to it. “I need to tell her,” I said quietly. His eyes lifted to mine, calm but calculating. “Tell who?” “Dawn.” I stepped closer, the firelight from the hearth casting gold over the walls. “She deserves to know the truth. I can’t keep lying to her. You didn’t hear her today, Michael. She was scared. Confused. She thinks I’ve lo
The Unexpected Fated Mate Chapter 27
Anna “You’re my Luna.” That title… I couldn’t stop thinking about it. About what it meant. The way he said it — with so much certainty and reverence — it made something flutter inside me that I wasn’t ready to name yet. Not quite. And then there was the thought of being his wife. A more traditional, human word… but no less powerful. It stirred butterflies in my stomach just imagining what that life might look like. Waking up to him every morning. Raising Ethan in safety. Building something permanent. It scared me. But it thrilled me too. “Let’s get out for a bit,” Dawn suggested, her voice snapping me out of my reverie. “Some air, some shopping. I could use a dose of retail therapy.” Michael had agreed — reluctantly — but only if I took two of his guards with us. The town was on his territory, and he assured me that Damon would be foolish to try anything here… but still, I could see it in his eyes. He wouldn’t rest until he was sure we were safe. The guards followed be
