All Chapters of Mated to the Alpha: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

It all hits me once I'm in the woods. I don't have anywhere to go. I don't have anyone to be with. I'm a lost soul floating in the world, and Jim hates me. He truly hates me.I try to run away from it all, but I can't run far enough to get away from these horrible feelings. I can't fix what's happened between us. I can't make this right.So, instead of trying to make sense of this, I keep running. I shift into my werewolf form. I us the rocky ground beneath my feet to ground me. I soak in the energy from the trees, from the plants, from the sunshine against my fur. I revel in my wolf form. I don't know where I'm going, but I need to get away from here.I don't stop running until I reach a lake. The blue water calms me, undisturbed as the sun sparkles off of it. It’s knowing depths let me know things will work out somehow. It’s a place for me to pause, so I stand there and look out at the water, dipping my paws into it. Nature assures me everything will be okay, but I don't underst

EMILY’S POVI am devastated and I truly don't know what to do. Jim has been stolen from me by a werewolf. And there doesn't seem to be much I can do about it. She's cast a spell on him and...As I'm crying in my room, a new idea comes to mind. Jim has been stolen by me from a werewolf. And it seems like she's cast a spell in him. So, maybe I need to do something different to face off against this enemy.Bria is supernatural. And I think that's probably the only reason why Jim is going with her instead of me. Jim and I have been together for so long, and nothing has come between us before. Nothing until her.And that's because she has supernatural powers. So of course, normal human tricks aren't going to work on her. Nothing is going to work to get rid of her unless I can match her power with something else. I need to find a supernatural solution. I need to go the extra mile to keep her away from my boyfriend.As I pace my room, I think about a supernatural solution I can use aga

JIM’S POVI'm shell shocked. There's no other way to describe it. I just don't know what's going on. It's the biggest shift in attitude I've ever seen. Bria told me she wanted to be with me. We were on the same page about being soulmates. And now...It's embarrassing honestly as my family stares at me looking for answers. I can't give them answers though. I don't know why Bria just rejected me in front of everyone. I don't understand what's going on. But I do know I can't just let her go like this.“I'm sorry,” I mumble to my family. “I’m not too sure what's going on, but I need to go find out.”They all look at me with sympathy in their eyes. To them, I'm just another rejected guy who took his chance on some girl I just met. And they probably expected it too. Here I am dating someone new, claiming she's my soulmate so quickly. It was already going to be a tough sell, but now they won't believe me at all.Should I believe me at all? I thought I was so sure of Bria and I. I thoug

EMILY’S POVI spent so much money at that witch’s shop that it’s ridiculous. I kind of feel like she scammed me, but at the end of the day I got what I wanted so I can't complain.In fact, I got even more than I could have imagined. As I stand in front of the mirror, I realize that everything has worked out even better than I dared hoped it would. But a second potion helped a little bit with that.I couldn't ever force Jim to love me. I didn't have to though. He already loved me before, so it didn't take much for him to love me again. Though the potion I slipped into his drinks every now and then helped too. It helped make his mind a little fuzzy. He didn't forget about Bria completely, but it did dull some of his feelings for her. And in dulling some of his feelings for her, the feelings he had for me felt even stronger. Or at least I hope they did.It seemed to work anyway. He did come back. He wanted to get back together with me if only to get over Bria. And I was more than

“You have to go to him,” Sylvia insists. But it's not that easy. Not after what I've done.“What if he rejects me?” I ask. “My heart will break. What if it's too late? What if he won't love me?”“His heart has already been broken,” she reminds me. “It's not fair to him not to give him a choice. It's not fair to either of you for you to be away from each other.“You have to take this risk, no matter how scary it is. You have to at least try.”I know she's right, but I'm terrified. Facing his rejection would be one of the most painful things that could happen to me. But I did already break his heart. So, I need to be willing to take on the pain that I gave him. It would be selfish to act otherwise.“I'll go to him,” I decide. “I’ll go to him and I hope it's not too late.”JIM’S POVIt's too late. Something about this feels wrong, but I can't change my mind now. It's too late to figure out anything. Because here I am, at the altar with Emily.It's difficult because my brai
