All Chapters of His Distant Human Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Aurora vaguely watched the passing car lights as she drove her rental car back towards her hometown. The town was where she had grown up as a child. She never saw a reason to leave it. That was until that dreaded night five years prior. Aurora, or Rory as her friends like to call her, hated to dwell on the past. No good came of it. She taught herself that she needed to move forward. Whatever the cost. She had a son who depended solely on her and she would move heaven and earth for him. Aurora was returning from a business trip. Thankfully her mother had agreed to watch Elijah, her five-year-old son. Aurora had only agreed to the trip with the prospect of landing one of the biggest deals of her career. However, when she arrived, the customer had an entirely different idea of how the deal was going to be closed. Aurora had quickly set him straight and jump in her rental car to return home. She had ignored both the customer and her boss’s calls the entire drive. Now that she was almost

"Mate!" Thor, Arden wolf shouted in his mind. Arden had to clamp his mouth shut from yelling it in the human bar that he currently owns. He could smell her before she had walked in. Arden had not understood why Thor seemed in such an agitated state until she walked in. Arden finished handing the man his drink and then slowly turned. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. Her long blond hair was in soft waves and fell to the middle of her back. She was currently wearing a pencil skirt and a jacket. She had on high heels that clicked as she walked. "Arden that is our mate." Thor yelled once more. "I can see that Thor. But we are among humans here and we cannot jump over the table and just mark her. Now settle down." Thor growled in their mind in response. Arden just shook his head. Arden had taken a calming breath. The woman did not seem to be affected by the bond. Although he could tell that she found him attractive. There was not an instant pull for her. Ard

Arden quickly pulled the door open. Aurora stood in the doorway. She wore a brown colored dress paired with black stockings and ankle boots. Her hair was filed high on the top of her head this time. It showed off her neck and shoulders. Arden's mouth went dry as he found himself wanting to kiss her neck. He quickly cleared his throat and smiled at Aurora. He moved out of the doorway and let her through to the kitchen. He decided not to close the bar this evening as he was going to show Aurora his apartment that sat above it. "Busy tonight?" Aurora asked as she saw the people in the kitchen working around one another to fulfill orders from the front. Arden chuckled. "Just a little. If you want to follow me though?" He held his arm out to show a set of stairs that led up to the second story. Aurora had not realized that there was a second story to the bar. She figured they would have gone out to the full bar. Aurora followed Arden up the stairs and Arden pulled out a key that unlo

Arden loved the playfulness of Aurora throwing the pillow at him. He caught it easily of course. His reflexes were wolf-like. Something stirred inside of him. The mate pull was beckoning him to move in closer. Arden set his wine glass down on the small coffee table to the side of the couch. Aurora must have sensed the change in atmosphere. "She feels something," Thor said. The barrier must be down for the moment. Arden slid across the couch. His knee almost touched hers. Aurora breathing increased as Arden moved closer to her. She did not understand what was going on, but the other thing she wanted at that moment was for Arden to kiss her. She wasn’t sure what to do. It had been such a long time since she had been intimate with anyone. Arden moved even closer, and Aurora felt herself move closer as well. Her body didn’t seem to be her own and all logical thought had left the building. Arden's hand gently came to rest at the nap of her neck. Aurora's breathing caught in her throat.

"Hello Mr., Arden." Eli held his hand out to Arden. Arden chuckled as he was surprised by the action. He took the child's hand in his own and shook it. "Pleasure to meet you, Elijah." Arden said. "Since you’re a friend of momma's you can call me Eli." Eli said as he dropped his hand. He turned to Aurora and asked. "Can Arden come with us to get caramel apples?" Aurora nodded her head slightly and Eli grabbed Arden's hand once more and began to pull him towards the booths. "You are going to love them. The apples are good, and the caramel is warm." Arden smiled at Aurora as Eli pulled him through the crowd. Aurora walked with Faith a few feet behind the boys. Making sure to keep an eye on them not to lose Eli in the crowd. Not that she thought Arden would let her son get lost. Eli did not stop until he arrived at the booth with the caramel apples. He walked right up to the table and ordered two apples. Eli looked up at Arden who chuckled and pulled out his wallet. Aurora quickly s
