Mated to Another のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

I open my eyes to find myself in a dimly lit room; despite the fact that it is already daytime, no one has opened the heavy drapes to let the sunlight in. The ache in my head ebbs and flows like a frigid tide, yet it is always present. I realise at once why they call it a hangover since it feels like the darkest of clouds has descended on my head and have no intention of lifting anytime soon. My eyes open and close a few times, and when I shift in bed, my entire body groans in soreness. I pull myself up and sit up on the bed. I sigh, massaging my forehead, and the silk duvet that has been covering my body slides off. That's when I notice I'm naked! What! Why in the world am I naked! Oh, my goddess in heaven! What happened last night! How did I end up in this room! That too while naked! As dread overcomes me, I scream in my head. As waves of nausea add to my misery, I instantly wrap myself in the duvet. My phone starts pinging with message after message, and I just want it to shut up!

There is a form of waiting that seems like salty stones kissed by soft onshore winds. It isn't very warm, but there is a sense of tranquilly, of nature, of things to come. Then there's the sort that feels like the head of a mediaeval mace is loose in my stomach and my skull has been pummelling with a large plank of wood. And it was the latter as I waited to feel her, my wolf's presence with in me.After days, months and years of waiting, she finally made her presence known. Taking over my body and mind and shifting her way into the world. It was supposed to be a joyous moment for me and my family. However, this is not the case. Because of my deeds.My body was motionless and in pain as I lay in my bed. Slowly recovering from my first shift at the age of twenty-four. I'm not sure how I got from the healers' chamber to my house, and I'm not sure how long I slept. But when I awoke from my slumber, my mother was nowhere to be seen. And it has been three days, and I still haven't seen her.

“Good morning.” She peeks on my male’s cheek with so much affection that my heart hurt. And I could feel my heart start to bleed as the male destined for me smiles down at the female and kisses her temple with his heart oozing adoration. My wolf was on her hind legs staring at the female through my eyes. But like I had expected, she doesn’t show any hostility. She only whimpers and lowers her head to rest it on her paws.“You didn’t inform me we were expecting a guest?” I am brought back from my world of thoughts when the female pulls back from my male and stands up with her spine straight. A charming sweet smile is what she offers me.“You were already asleep when I received the news of our guest’s arrival, my love.” His voice is thick and husky and they fall in my ears like a sweet melody the Goddess had kept me deprived off. But the way that voice was supposed to make me thirsty, it didn’t. For it is filled to the brim with affection for a female who isn’t me. My love is what he sa

It had taken me a few hours to pack everything I owned. A nightfall to reach this pack and two months later, I am still here. Those words of Alpha Erdem still ring in my ears as I continue to live in the packhouse. I was given a moderate room in the large packhouse. With the few of my belongings I had packed, I decorated it to feel like home.I sigh and stand up. Closing my eyes, I fill my lungs with the sweet scent of flowers mixing with the scent of heavy rainfall. As my lungs filled with the sweet smell, I open my eyes to take in the beautiful land. Calmness sets inside me as I stare at the flourished greenery that blankets acres of land. My hand gently caresses my belly. My pregnancy is starting to show with every day passes. My pup is slowly growing and I choose to wear baggy clothes trying to hide it. Ignoring the sluggish sounds of wet soil under my feet, I stop in front of a little wooden hut. I place my tools inside and start washing my hands in the flowing water by the garde

Consciousness slowly pulled into me as I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar room. I knew I was in the little cottage near the packhouse owing to the bareness of the room and the peculiar green colour of the walls. It was much closer to Vesna's garden than the room I currently reside in. I close my eyes and rub my temples. My ears are ringing, and I'm suffering from a migraine-like throbbing pain.I take a few long breaths and open my eyes again. I look out the window at the darkening sky. I grumble in frustration to myself. It's already dark outside! I slept the entire day through! I vaguely recall the sun being at the top of my head; it had to be midday when I fainted. I sigh. To make up for today, I'll need to put in twice as much effort tomorrow. I feel horrible for Vesna. She's already found me unconscious a few times, and I passed out in front of her today! My throat felt like a parched desert, and I noticed a glass of water on the bedside table. I reached for the drink slowly, and
