HIS UNWORTHY MATE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

~JADE~The haunting howls and snarls behind me were deafening, so fucking loud that they drowned out the sound of the blood pounding in my ears as I raced through the dense forest. My every step echoed with fear in my ears, my heart beating louder than a church bell as the feral growls grew louder and closer.Shifting was out of the question; perhaps I could outrun them if I could turn, but putting enough distance between me and the mad wolves with only one goal was nearly impossible. But that didn’t stop me from running like hell was on my tail, and my life depended on it. And it wasn’t just my life that depended on survival tonight but that of my newborn pup, likewise.I have a son to save, and it doesn’t matter how much I get wounded while doing it. My motherly instinct urged me to run faster, to push harder despite running on foot. I ignored the sharp pain jabbing into my foot now and then as I stepped on twigs and thorns. None of that would matter if those rogue wolves caught up

~REIGN~ I ignored the leery stares from the pack members hanging around the main pack house as I hurried down the stairs, and out of the pack house. We don’t usually have rogues lurking around the pack territory as most packs do, because it has been common knowledge for as long as I can remember that anyone who made the mistake of trespassing into our territory, rogue or not, ends up with the heads severed from their necks. That was how the preppy Alpha Heir of Moonshine pack got himself into the situation that ended up being his demise. He ran away from his pack because his father was forcing him into an arranged union with a chosen mate. The poor boy is gay, and he thought running away from his pack before the Union would help him, maybe he might’ve ended up escaping the cruel fate of living the rest of his life with someone he didn’t love but he ended up in our territory. Truth be told, if I had found him first before the patrol guards got to him, perhaps I might’ve helped him e

~REIGN~I take the turn that should lead me to the pack’s clinic, and Tarik begins to growl.‘Home, home. Take mate home.’‘I need to take her to the clinic; she needs to get treated.’ I argued as I hastened my pace toward the Pack clinic, the faster I got her there, the better.‘No!’ Tarik snarled, and I had to stop walking because why was he so difficult?‘She needs the pack doctor.’ I try to reason but he won’t have it.‘No one touches her. No one gets to see Mate like that. Take her home.’‘Tarik, she needs to be treated. Her wounds aren’t healing as fast as they should. It’s just the pack, doctor.’ I replied, sighing.‘No. Take Mate home. Clean mate. Take care of her. Protect mate. Mate better with us.’ He grumbled his clipped sentences in a tone that left no room for argument.It is difficult to reason with him when he goes all caveman on me, Still, I tried, ‘Tarik...’‘I will take over,’ he threatened.‘Fine,’ I concede, knowing that I wouldn’t win even if I continued arguing

~REIGN~‘Alpha, I am here.’ The voice of the pack doctor pushed through the thoughts in my mind, causing me to push aside my anger and displeasure for the moment.‘The door is unlocked; wait in the living area; I’ll be with you shortly.’ I replied, grabbing the detachable shower head to rinse my mate’s body with no emotion whatsoever thrumming through me.I dried the water on her body, dressed her in my clothes, and took her back to the bedroom, laying her on the bed before going to the living room to fetch the doctor.He began checking on her as soon as he stepped into the room, asking me little to no questions. I only told him the state she was in when I found her, but luckily now, her wounds have stopped bleeding but her body still isn’t healing itself the way it should.I watched from the far end of the bed as the pack doctor checked her vitals, using some of his medical tools to check for her heart rate—I think—and her pulse. Then he opened her eyes and did whatever doctoral stuf

~JADE~I am not sure if it was the voices in my dream that woke me up—I soon found out that the voices weren’t in my dream but from somewhere around me—Or if it was the stench of Alpha Pheromones that attacked my nose and senses as soon as I gained consciousness.All I know is that both factors dragged me out of my slumber and I was welcomed with a teeth-grinding headache as soon as I peeled my eyes open. A whimper escaped me as the brightness of the room instantly blinded me.My eyes closed out of reflex, and a wince fell from my mouth as I made a pitiful attempt to turn away from the blinding light. Despite how soft the surface I slept on was, every bone and muscle in my body cried out in protest as I tried to move on my side.’Lev, are you there?’ My hands felt heavy, and my head felt like it would fall off if I lifted it. But I needed to do that, or at least stay awake, to know the situation I’ve gotten myself in.‘Lev?’ I tried again, and this time I got a deep groan in response.
