All Chapters of Dare To Mate: Chapter 201 - Chapter 209

CARLY WOODS POV Last night, Jace had walked in unannounced and witnessed me breaking down.Even though he assured me by swearing that he'd get Hunter back, I didn't allow myself to be fooled by him.For all I know, he was only acting to gain my trust.After I left him and Ian in his office yesterday, I retired to my room where I spent the remainder of the day.I needed enough time to rest and mentally prep myself for when I meet Mia and Julian.Well, mostly Mia.I knew I had a lot of explaining to do. A lot of apologies to render.Jace had gathered me in his arms and tried to soothe me into a peaceful sleep while he lay beside me.His fingers drew soothing circles on my back.Just before sleep completely enveloped me, I overheard him calling Ian to push back a meeting to today.I wonder what it was about.I liked this room because it was far from Jace's room and it was in the opposite wing of the mansion.Away from the horrid memories even the few good ones I shared with him.Even th

JACE BALDWIN'S POV The next three days, I spent them tending to Carly's needs.I didn't mind the cold shoulders I was receiving from her. I just wanted to take care of her the best I could.I wanted to spoil her but I knew now wasn't the best time for an elaborate shopping spree and endless hours in a spa.She longed to have Hunter back and I swore to her that I'll do everything in my power to get him back.Even though it meant losing my life in the process. I didn't mind.After Addison's visit three days ago, Carly had insisted she visit her friend - Mia. I didn't object because I realized she wasn't asking to be permitted - she was simply informing me of where she'd be."In case anything comes up, you'll know where to find me."With that, she left without another word.For dinner that night, I surprised her with a chicken pot pie I had the head omega come in to prepare.I knew she loved the way the head omega cooked her chicken pot pie.But she came back full. She's had a big di

CARLY WOODS POV The next morning, I woke up with a content smile stretching out my lips.Scooting to the edge of the bed, I didn't get the chance to sit up when a hand shot out and instantly pulled me back into a muscled chest behind me."Five more minutes." Jace mumbles, his husky voice making my stomach melt. From behind, his fingers reached out to pull stray strands out of my face"But you said that twenty minutes ago." I pushed my back against his chest, his hands shaking my waist."I love having you in my arms, babe. I promise, twenty minutes and I'll let you go.""Ugh huh? Too bad though, my bladder doesn't seem to agree with you." Turning over in his arms, I grinned at him and then placed a light kiss on his lips."Fine, don't take too long though."I giggled as I skipped to the washroom.That has been our morning pattern this past week.The night Jace broke down and opened up to me changed everything.After the first kiss we shared in a long time, Jace begged me to forgive h

JACE BALDWIN'S POV "I'm going.""What?""I said that I'm going to...""No you're not.""Yes, I am and you can't talk me out of it.""Do you think he wants you back because he needs a Chess buddy? I don't trust that bastard.""This is our only chance, we can't afford to let it slip through our fingers because of what you fear Darren will do to me.""I can't let you go knowing how hard he'll hurt you, my dear.""Hurt?" She looked at me bewildered then laughed out dryly. "Jace, I and hurt are familiar with each other." The pink oversized hoodie she wore made her cute. "For years unending, Brookside Pack forced me to befriend pain and made agony my soulmate."I didn't expect things to turn out this way when I told her about the letter."You did mention that he was your second chance mate, right?"I asked shortly after the silence that reigned between us.I wanted so badly to believe that she didn't sleep with that bastard but the desperation in her eyes made me believe otherwise.Was it
