Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Unchosen Mate: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

KiraStaring directly into his eyes, I straddled his lap. I could feel the soft cushion of the white towel on his lap beneath me, and a few seconds later a pressure pushing back towards me from underneath.I couldn’t explain why, but I knew that I was drawn to this man beyond even my own understanding. To be near him made breathing easier despite the butterflies, despite the deep pulsing at my core that I knew was an insatiable, carnal attraction to him.I slid my arms around his neck, settling myself firmly on his legs, wrapping my own around his waist. I tried not to touch him at first, other than that. The proximity of our bodies and the smell of him made me slightly dizzy, but in an intoxicating way. I needed to steady myself. The orientation of what my body needed was clear, but I needed to take my time.

LeilaI walk around my father’s suite, clicking off the lights and dimming the room. My head was still reeling from that dinner with the Luna. It certainly wasn’t what I expected. She seemed… like a lush?I was scandalized even thinking it. The Luna always required the upmost respect, being mated to the Alpha. But Deidre was… well, on the outside, classy, formal, well-kept… certainly polished when you looked at how dark and brooding Alpha Jason could be. Her smile was form, her words oddly formal.But between the glasses of wine, her eyes had swiveled throughout the restaurant all night long. As though she was paying half attention to me, half to the world around us. Why had she really brought me along? And why was she probing so much about my mother? She seemed fixed on the fact that she wasn’t wit

JasmineIt was an incredible evening with Perrin. I felt like we finally had a chance to connect and relax and just… talk.Well, after we actually made it to the restaurant… I blush even at the thought. I had removed my makeup and was just getting ready for bed when my phone pings on my bed.Hoping it’s a good night text from Perrin, I’m sorely disappointed but altogether alarmed when I see that it’s an alert text from the Infirmary.APERTURE INFIRM: All yellow-level healers and above, please report immediately to the Infirmary. This is not a drill.What the hell?Yellow-level healers? That was me, but

PerrinDespite my quick pace, Lo matches me stride for stride. I have to admit that I’m impressed.We set off towards the lodge, regardless of the orders I had given to Seth over the phone. A few minutes in silence pass between us as we find our cadence and settle into our breathing. She’s faster than I imagined. It will be nice to get a real cardio workout in despite no official training hours. She breaks the quiet.“I’m sorry about my dad.”“Don’t be. I get it.”“You do?”“If someone I cared about was out alone given everything going on--”“Like Kira?” 

Perrin“Thanks for the company.”“No problem. I’m glad we got your dad off your back.” “I’m headed up for a shower.”We climb the steps into the packhouse. The lobby was full of people. With no trainings on a Saturday, people were socializing and making plans for the weekend. She gives me a grin and raises the pitch of her voice. “Catch you later for our date?”“Yes!” I confirm extra loudly in the lobby of the pack house. “See you at 6:00 p.m.”We had cleaned up Lo’s dried blood at the lodge before enjoying a leisurely walk back to the packhouse. We had gotten some decent mileage in so I was pretty much chec
