Chapter 43
“Levi,” Adaline went after him. “You, of all people, know that you can’t fight a mating, especially one destined by fate. Our wolves won’t let us. Mia couldn’t have fought it even if she tried.”
Levi turned around, anger radiated from him. His skin practically vibrated with it. “Do you want to tell Dylan that?”
“You can’t punish Mia for this. You started this by forcing Dylan on her. She would never have run away from the pack if you hadn’t refused to just listen.” Adaline was tired of reasoning with Levi. Yes, there were pack laws that had been broken. And egos were bruised, but perhaps it was time for a few hard facts.
Unfortunately, it seemed the alpha didn’t think so. The growling man inhaled deeply. His chest expanded dangerously, but the show of aggression didn’t scare Adaline. No matter how pissed off he got, he could never hurt his mate. It was just how things were. She squared her shoulders and glared at him. “It’s the truth an

It took another week before Asher could adequately prepare and select the forest he felt was the most likely to be the home of Mia’s pack.It was a good thing there weren’t so many options. During that time, Layla and Dave ran an unending campaign to dissuade him from his plans. When that hadn’t worked, Dave offered to go with him. But Asher could already imagine the reception he would receive as soon as he stepped into the pack lands; he didn’t want Dave to be caught in the crossfire, or to be more accurate, caught in between a pair of teeth. He wasn’t sure Dave had clearly understood the part about werewolves. Or the man didn’t believe it. Asher would not risk it. So, to make sure Dave didn’t fight him or dare to follow, Asher left in the middle of the night like a thief. It was almost disturbing how good he was getting at sneaking around in the dark. He jumped in his car and drove towards the forest with only hope that he was headed in

Mia switched sides and turned to her left, facing the window. It was the only thing she could do while locked in her room. Lay down on her bed and turn from one side to the other. She had tried pacing from one wall to the other, that soon drove her mad and ready to claw at the walls. It had been two weeks already since her return to the pack. She knew every achingly slow day that had passed because she had counted the hours and watched every sunrise and sunset from her window. Thoughts of running had, of course, been permanently fixed in her head, but she hadn’t acted on them. Not because she was subdued, but because she could bet her wolf’s tail, her pack and alpha all expected it and they would be waiting to catch her before she even made it to the trees. The mere thought of the humiliation of being dragged back to this very room was enough to dissuade her. The long days had only been interrupted by the only visitor she
What Love doesn't know Chapter 46
For a moment, it looked as though Alpha Levi didn’t know what to do with the human. He actually seemed to be speechless. Had it been a less tense moment, someone would have actually dared to laugh. Asher finally saw what Chris had meant by shocking the old alpha and surviving longer than five seconds. He didn’t dare to look away from Levi. The older man’s angry glare was almost too much to bear, but Asher refused to give in and look away. If he was going to get Mai, he knew he had to go through her father. Just as the tension seemed to reach breaking point, the Alpha’s attention snapped to the trees above them. He snarled. “You brought a rogue wolf and a blood sucker as your backup to steal my daughter?” Levi asked in an accusing but mocking tone. Asher chanced an indifferent shrug. “In desperate times, you can’t be too picky about who your friends are.” “You must be pretty desperate,” som

Mia sat up with a jerk when she heard her father’s howl cut through the air outside the house. Even though she was in a closed room, the sound had penetrated the walls and reached her as though the alpha had howled right there in the room with her. The Alpha’s call vibrated through her, calling to her wolf, calling to the pack. Calling to the bond that connected them all. It was a call to warn of intruders, a call to warn of serious trouble in their land. And a call to all pack members to fight for their pack. Mia recognized it all. Her feet hit the ground fast as she made her way to the closed window, desperate to find out what had provoked such a call. Nothing but calm trees met her eyes. She couldn’t see and anyone running in panic or otherwise. Her bedroom window didn’t have a view of the center of the pack homes, so it was pointless. Suddenly, behind her, the bedroom door opened. Mia turned to find her mother’s panicked face. In th

Her strong paws crushed leaves and twigs as they hit the ground in haste. Mia could now hear the obvious sounds of wolves fighting in the distance. It carried to her on the cool breeze that blew her way. She was almost there. The telling scent of blood was enough to churn her insides and confirm it. She didn’t exactly think she would single-handedly fight for her pack and spare them from certain death at the hand of the Ice Lake pack. Her ego was not that inflated. She rather just believed her presence would count. No sounds of a wolf running behind her floated her way. That only meant Sam hadn’t come after her. That was excellent. It would have been a struggle she neither had the time nor energy for. Despite her troubled thoughts, Mia had enough sense to come to an abrupt stop when she reached the fight and just quickly analyzed the situation. Almost immediately, the first thing she noticed amongst all the gruesome fighti
What Love doesn't know Chapter 49
With the remaining injured, but lucky to be alive, members of Ice Lake leaving with literally their tails between their legs, Levi led the rest of his pack back to the houses. Despite the victory, Levi was not in a pretty state. The wounds on his body had stopped bleeding but still looked terrible. It probably didn’t help that he was also covered in dirt and Dylan’s blood as well. But Asher had to admire the man, even though he shuddered in disgust on his behalf. Levi did not so much as wince or show any sign he was in pain as he walked back with the pack. Asher, on the other hand, had unfortunately realized just how many injuries were all over his body and was not enjoying it one bit. His thoughts went back to Mia’s father and his confident steps. Asher was impressed, that was until James drew closer to him and whispered, “Don’t be fooled, these dogs heal in a matter of hours. By tomorrow that old goat will barely have a scratch on him

Levi’s words filled the air and hung there like a toxic smell, ready to suffocate everyone present in the room. Or at least five out of the seven people present in the room. Everything and everyone seemed to first freeze in place, including the air, before things suddenly blew like a time bomb running out of time. Mia jumped off the couch, a deep growl erupting from her chest vibrating the walls when she faced her father. Her eyes glowed with her wolf, so close to the surface. She clenched and curled her hands, feeling her claws dig into her palm. Any second blood would sip out of the minor cuts and find its way to the floor next to her feet. Asher didn’t stand, but he moved to the edge of the couch, leaned his elbows on his knees and steepled his fingers before placing his chin on them. He closed his eyes for a moment and mentally counted to ten, very slowly, trying to calm himself before he did something stupid. When he
What Love doesn't know Chapter 51
Asher and Mia left the alpha’s house in a deep, thoughtful silence. It was like words failed them both at that moment. Or it was a matter of where to begin. It was actually the first occasion they were getting to talk ever since Connor and Sam had stormed into Asher’s house in the middle of the night. It was also their first time talking ever since Asher discovered what Mia was. Everything was now out in the open. There were no more secrets hidden in omissions, half truths, or lies. Mia bit her tongue and avoided Asher’s scrutinising gaze, which she felt like a burning flame on her skin. Her own thoughts caused a different fire within her. He had come back for her, yes, but she wasn’t still certain what he felt about the whole matter of werewolves. Not to mention her father’s frosty behaviour and the whole Dylan story. James’ words flashed through her mind. ‘What you see there is nature’s perfected killing machine. That is
