Mated For Life The Alpha's Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

"What are you doing here, Pumpkin?"  My dad asks before he sees Alpha Eric coming in behind me and quickly lowers his eyes. "Eric drove me home and I need to pick up my things.  I will be living at the pack house from now on."  Shocked, I guess they thought that I would be staying there and have my things sent for.  Walking in, my mom smiles at me but then immediately looks down. My dad nods to Eric and then says warmly with mischief in his eyes, "I see you met our Alpha Eric finally.  Did you get acquainted last night during the Full Moon event?"  Knowing full well that we did by his flared nostrils, he chuckles and then gives me a big hug.  Offering a firm hand, he says to Eric with respect, "Welcome, son.  You are not only our Alpha, but you are our son now too."Watching this odd exchange, my mom stands back and waits till I turn to her.  She says lovingly, "I have waited for a long time f

The doctor checks my wound after taking off the bandages, declaring me all healed up.  He reminds me, "Now, don't forget to still be careful twisting and turning for a couple of days, otherwise it will reopen."  He points at me, looking sternly and then smiles because I can't help but laugh.  Of course, it still hurts when I do, so I immediately regret it.   Today is the day I get to start to feel back to normal.  No more getting carried everywhere by the Alpha and worshipped by the Alpha and hugged and kissed by the Alpha.  Oh who am I kidding, I loved every bit of it. After the last attack, everyone has been on high alert, but since there haven't been anymore for at least a week, Eric hopes that it has ended.  There are several of the pack that doesn't believe that and are blaming it all on me.  They figure that because I am so young and Eric has been preoccupied with me that he has let another Alpha into the territory b

"We have to do something besides sit on our asses and wait for an attack."  Eric stands up and exclaims to the council angrily.  Everyone else seems to want to wait, but they haven't been attacked as many times as we have in the last several weeks.   Not realizing that I can hear everyone's thoughts, a few of the council members think to themselves that Eric is just being stupid and that he isn't thinking this through first.  We talked about it all morning before coming to the last day of the council meetings and we figured the only way we are going to get ahead of this is to start discussing attacks against the surrounding territories.  Maybe then, we won't be so caught off guard next time. Ryder stands up and speaks, "My brother is right, but first we need to secure what we do have before we go into attack mode.  Defending should be our first priority, because if we don't have anything to come back to when we are done attacking, t

"Who made lunch?"  I ask smelling something cooking in the kitchen.  Ever since the mate bond hit me, I have felt connected to Eric on such a deep level that I have never felt with anyone else before.  In a way it is wonderful, but in another it makes me weak and I know this now.  Being alpha's mate makes you stronger, but it also subjects you to being scrutinized by everyone.  Never feeling good enough, I sit back and watch others in the pack and the way they react to me.  Most of them treat me like they did before the bond, but there are some who are always watching everything I do and I hear their whispers when I'm not looking.  Especially those closest to Eric it seems.Perhaps if I had been older, they wouldn't have minded so much, but as it is all I ever hear is a constant chatter of she is so inexperienced, young and she doesn't have a clue how to be a leader of a pack.  They wonder why me and I often wo

"Are you comfy, Raven?"  Ryder asks, looking extremely concerned for my well being. "Yes, you are spoiling me.  I will have to tell Eric when I get back, that you treat me better than he ever has."  I say with a mischievious grin.  Playing the two brothers on each other might be fun.  After all, Ryder is treating me as if I am his mate.  I could get used to this attention from two men.  Laughing, I am just kidding myself, because I know full well that I am so in love with Eric I could never cheat on him, even with his twin brother who looks just like him. Ryder is the more passionate and caring one, but Eric is my total Alpha male.  He is strong, confident, egotistical, possessive and intelligent.  If I had the two combined, it would make the most perfect male I could have ever imagined.  So when I sit here and stare at Ryder wishing Eric was more passionate and caring, I also would wish that Ryder was more co
