Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Unexpected Mate: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

NaomiOdette’s grip on my shoulder is like a vice, her perfectly manicured nails digging into my skin with each step she takes. The pressure sends a wave of pain through my arm as I’m forced over to a stool, sandwiched between the imposing figures of Tobin and Ataz. Despite my attempts to squeeze in, their massive bodies don’t budge an inch, their muscular thighs pressing against mine. With a sickly sweet smile, Odette sets down a heaping plate of breakfast items that turns my stomach with their greasy shine and overwhelming smell. She places her hand on her hip, radiating power and control as she watches me squirm in discomfort under her piercing gaze. The room feels suffocating with her dominating presence, like I am trapped in a small box with no escape.“Come on, darlings, eat up,” Odette encourages, her voice like velvet and honey. She pops a bright red cherry into her perfectly painted mouth, the juice dripping down her chin in a tantalising way. Next to me, the two men snicker

NaomiI stumbled back, the dry leaves and twigs crunching beneath my feet as Cal pulled me deeper into the dark woods. His grip on my arm was tight, almost painful, and his demeanour remained strangely composed after his outburst in the car. We arrived in a small clearing, surrounded by towering trees that seemed to reach up endlessly towards the sky. The sunlight struggled to break through the thick canopy above, casting dappled shadows on our faces. The air was heavy with the smell of damp earth and decaying leaves, giving off an eerie atmosphere. I couldn’t help but shiver as Cal’s eyes scanned our surroundings, his expression unreadable.With a sudden flash of determination and intensity in his eyes, Cal turned towards me. His words echoed with power and purpose as he declared, “Let our training begin.” As if on cue, branches began to lift from the forest floor, hurtling towards me with increasing speed and force. I could feel my heart racing as I twisted and dodged, narrowly avoi

NaomiWith each stroke of the oar, Cal propels our small boat down the tranquil river. The water gently licks at the edges of the vessel, creating a soothing lullaby that accompanies us on our journey. I gaze at the lush green grass rustling in the gentle breeze along the banks, illuminated by specks of sunlight peeking through the treetops. My eyes follow the graceful movements of a few fish swimming just beneath the crystal clear water’s surface. Despite the tranquil settling, my heart races, still unable to relax after what happened earlier.The seconds creep by, each one punctuated by the deafening silence that surrounds us. My racing thoughts are the only noise as I try to remain calm, knowing that whatever is coming, I have to trust the bond between us. It’s up to him now; I have to trust that he will protect me with every ounce of his being. His sharp features are etched with determination as he powers through the water, his broad shoulders and corded arms working tirelessly. I

NaomiCal slams the heavy wooden door behind us, his strong arms hauling me up the creaky stairs. His grunts and heavy breaths echo through the narrow hallway, alerting the others of our arrival. At the top of the stairs, Odette stands with a smug smile on her face, her eyes glinting with mischief as she watches me being dragged towards her. Cal stops us in front of her, her hand resting possessively on his chest as she gazes up at him. Her fingers trail lower, dancing lightly over his abdomen as she purrs, “Everything is ready.” Her eyes finally turn to me, and I feel a sudden wave of unease wash over me. “I hope you enjoyed your time with your little pet,” she taunts, her lips curling into a sly smirk. The tension in the room grows thicker as I wait for what’s coming next.Cal’s gaze never wavers from her, studying every inch of her face with intense focus. She returns his stare, her brow furrowing in confusion before she turns to Tobin, who has appeared beside her in a flash. “Tobin

NaomiThe rhythmic chanting of the group swirls around me, carried by a gentle breeze that tickles my skin. Goosebumps rise and trail over my body, sending shivers down my spine. My breath catches in my throat as I glance up at the full moon, its pale light casting a spine-chilling light over the scene. With each passing moment, it feels like there is ice coursing through my veins, making it harder and harder to catch my breath. “Fuck!” I mutter under my breath.I can feel my magic, like a gentle stream flowing through me, but no matter how I try to grasp it, it slips through my fingers like fine grains of sand. The only warmth I can sense is from the flickering light of the candles placed at my ankles, their flames dancing and crackling with an intense energy. As I strain my neck to look up, “It is time,” I hear one of them speak, their voice muffled and distorted by the unnatural angle. The flames around me seem to grow taller and fiercer, casting an orange glow across my skin and i
