The marked mate Chapter 6
Maria's unexpected confession caught me off guard, leaving me speechless for a moment. I struggled to process her words, grappling with a mix of emotions ranging from confusion to disbelief. How could she claim to love me when we barely knew each other? And what about Gena? My heart still ached for her, and I couldn't simply replace her with someone who resembled her."Maria, you can't just say something like that out of the blue," I finally managed to respond, my voice tinged with a hint of frustration. "Love is something that takes time to develop, and I can't just reciprocate those feelings without getting to know you better."Maria's expression faltered, her earlier confidence wavering as she processed my words. "But... I thought... I mean, we've been spending time together, and I feel a connection between us," she stammered, her eyes searching mine for reassurance.I sighed, realizing that Maria's feelings had likely stemmed from our shared experiences and the time we had spent t

Maria's sudden change in demeanor caught me off guard. She stood there, her gaze piercing through me, waiting for my response. "Maria, please have a seat," I gestured to the chair across from me. "And you can call me Mr. Elijah for now." She complied and sat down, but her eyes remained fixed on mine, filled with uncertainty and a hint of defiance. "Alright, what is it that you wanted to say?" I prompted, trying to maintain a calm demeanor despite the turmoil of questions swirling in my mind. "I know this may sound strange, but I've been feeling different lately," Maria began, her voice wavering slightly. "There are moments when I feel like I'm not myself, like there's another presence inside me." Her words sent a chill down my spine, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease creeping over me. "What do you mean, another presence?" I inquired, my tone cautious. "It's hard to explain," she continued, fidgeting with her hands. "But sometimes, I have these urges and thoughts th

"So, tell me, what do you want to tell me?" Maria's uncle stopped by the wooden chair and confronted me."Oh! Yeah," I said, showing him the bat."Whoa, what the fuck?" He got scared and began to withdraw his feet from the chair.Maybe he thinks I want to beat him up with the bat in my hand, but even though I would want to talk with him."Calm down, now tell me about Maria," I came and placed the bat on the table, thinking it might help him speak more freely."W... What do you want to know?" He stammered.I told him about the bruises on Maria's body and asked how it came about. Maria's uncle couldn't stop staring at the bat I intentionally kept on the table, which seemed to make him nervous.He kept on stammering before his wife arrived. She saw the bat on the table and almost fled out of fear, but her husband called her back.She moved to where her husband was and stopped beside him."Okay, let me ask you the same question," I looked at her face, "Have you perhaps been harassing Mari

The following morning, I had to wake up early for a meeting, and as I passed by Maria's bedroom, I assumed she would still be asleep. However, when I entered the kitchen, Maria was already preparing breakfast in the same attire from the night before."Good morning," I greeted as I took a seat at the table, observing her movements with her messy hair in a bun."Good morning, how are you?" she replied, turning to glance at me from the kitchen door."I don't like tea," I stated abruptly as she placed a cup in front of me."Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know," she responded, her hands trembling slightly as she reached for the bread.Trying to ease the tension, I joked, "It's okay, Gena, I can make an exception," accidentally using another name."Wait! What did you just call me?" Maria asked, her curiosity piqued.Realizing my slip, I chuckled nervously and deflected her question to avoid further inquiry.After dropping Maria off at school, I headed to my meeting with my late parents' business i

Since no one was willing to identify the culprit, I decided to punish the entire class with a pop quiz. Students disliked them, but it was a fitting punishment for those acting arrogantly just because they were in college."Take out your piece of paper and a pen," I instructed the class."No!" came the chorus of exhausted voices.It was satisfying to hear them grumble, knowing this wouldn't have happened if they had brought the culprit to me. I gave them a challenging quiz, enjoying their struggles as they attempted to answer."Ten minutes is almost up!" I announced joyfully."Aww, please Mr. Elijah, we're sorry," Yumi, the exchange student, pleaded.Ignoring their pleas, I collected their papers one by one. Maria also submitted hers, looking unusually exhausted and sad. Did something happen?After two hours, I ended the class, packed the test papers, and headed to my car. Seeing Maria resting against it, I realized she wanted to go home."I'm sorry, Mr. Elijah, but I want to go home,
The marked mate Chapter 1
Many years ago, long before humans became aware of our existence, we werewolves lived in the shadows, unseen and unheard. Often, it was difficult to feed because among humans, there were those who hunted us; the Hunters. They killed my kind, and only a few managed to escape, never to return. One of those murdered by the Hunters was Gena Boyer, my girlfriend and mate. She died before my eyes, and I was helpless, unable to do anything but watch. Since then, nightmares of her death have haunted me. Gwen, Gena's best friend, blames me for what happened, calling me a coward for not saving her.Despite countless defenses, it doesn't change the fact that I failed to save Gena. Centuries passed, leaving me without a mate, someone to support me and warm me on cold nights. I had lost hope of finding anyone until one dark and stormy night when I met her—Gena, my mate, or so I thought. Instead, it was her doppelganger, Maria Jose Clark, whom I found unconscious on my way home from work."Where am
