All Chapters of The Unchosen Mate: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

LeilaIt took me several minutes to realize that I had shifted into wolf-form. The pads of my paws kicked up dirt as I ran faster and faster--away from the disaster.Running in my wolf-form was freedom. It came to me that I hadn’t actually phased since I had moved to the Aperture pack. It was only a couple of weeks ago, but at this point--it felt like much longer. My muscles needed to stretch. I loved the feel of the wind as I ran, rustling my white fur.And I ran. Hard.I wasn’t sure where I was, but I ended up near the ocean. It was beautiful with the run reflecting ripples across waves miles out from shore. I enjoyed my heightened vision in my wolf form, and decided to keep running. Running helped me think. And process.What the hel

Ethan “How are you feeling?” “Better. Hungry. When do I get real food?” My mother sat in the chair that Lo had occupied a few hours earlier. I still wasn’t sure what had happened, but it didn’t sound good. Lo looked terrified and Jaz looked capable of murder. Not that it would be the first time. That girl was crazy. And not necessarily in the too-hot, can-get-away-with-it kinda crazy. Just freakin nuts. “The healers said you can’t have solid food for another few days.” “Can’t you see me withering away?” “I can see you just fine. And seeing how you are now versus a week ago, you’ll stick with the jell-o.” I clicked the little button that sent pain med

Jasmine Seeing as I had no idea where Irene went, I could take my time wandering the halls, checking every patient room just in case. And of course, putting off the inevitable. What more did she really have to say? She had already taken my rotations away. I can’t imagine how it could get any worse. I finally went to reception and found Lorrie. “Hey, can you tell me where Irene is?” “In her office. Actually I think she’s waiting for you.” “Shit. Thanks.” I stalked off down the hall towards the offices of the Ascended. Each was unique, completely decorated to the personality of each Ascended. Once you had this office, it was yours for…. Well, life. Nai

Perrin “Have you talked to Jaz today?” Her words echoed in my brain. I had tried calling her twice this afternoon, just as an excuse to talk to her or make plans.  I left her room and wandered down the hall to my own suite. It was so frustrating how Lo had to keep poking into my relationship. It was all so stupid. I had a missed call from Jaz and a voicemail. She rarely left voicemails, so I pressed the playback icon and listened. My stomach dropped. Her words cut hard, name-calling and profanity aside. Betrayal? Coward? Cheating? This wasn’t happening. I tried calling her back, but every single time it started to ring I got an automated voice m

Mark“It’s going fine.”“The other packs are really cooperating?” His voice held a tone of surprise.“We’ve had a few nights go cleanly so far. Gamma Janas is running things smoothly.”“What you mean is, apart from your daughter’s little adventure, everything’s fine?”I swallowed hard and held my gaze firm. His point had been made and he didn’t need to say more. Disciplining my daughter the other night together was one thing, but that didn’t mean that the Alpha didn’t get to make his disapproval clear, even to me. I was embarrassed beyond reason and still couldn’t believe that type of behavior Leila had exhibited. It was careless and stupid. How she was
