All Chapters of Dare To Mate: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

JACE BALDWIN'S POV "Hey lovie, your lunch is here," Addison called merrily from the doorway her hands clasped in front of her face. She stood beside the bedroom door while Alice balanced a thick golden platter of food in her hands on her way in."I'm not hungry." I croaked which was followed by a cough.Yesterday I had another crisis which made my body break down completely.I kept Ian busy with finding Carly and Hunter while I lay on my dead bed recounting all my life choices wishing I'd done better."Starving yourself is not going to do you any good." Addison rushed out softly as she hurried to my bedside.I turned my face away from her as she gently caressed my arm and ran her hand on my chest."Come on, babe, you need to eat something before the healer comes in for your checkup." Her voice was whiny as she leaned over me. "Don't just stand there like an idiot, put down that thing and help me get him to sit up will you?" Addison snapped at Alice who walked briskly to the bedside

CARLY WOODS POV A shrilling cry of a child desperate for comfort.A sound I've longed to hear for so long.The baby's cry put Selva and me in a frantic mode.The shrilling sound came from upstairs so I quickly took the small strip of stairs by the corner while hoping it wouldn't cave in on me.Upstairs was dark and as creepy as the ground floor. Thick cobwebs covered the walls and ceilings, there were weird images sculptured by the walls, some engraved into it.But the one that captured my attention was that of a naked woman which half wolf and half human, her eyes seemed to be following me around. On one hand, there was a full Moon, while on the other hand dripped with blood.What was that?"Get that thing to shut up will you?"The raspy male voice tore my eyes from the engraved image on the wall, I tiptoed towards the door the voices came."Quit moaning, you're starting to make my ears bleed. I'm trying to feed the boy before knocking him out." A female voice snapped in response.K

CARLY WOODS POV It was as if Addison was drenched in ice cold water as she stood frozen.She must have forgotten how to breathe because she was starting to turn blue from the shock of my revelation."Carly what did you say?" Ian was the first to overcome his shock."I didn't mean to blurt out her little secret." I whined burying my face into Jace's neck, my fingers clutching his brown shirt."Addison, is there something you want to tell us?" Ian turned to face Addison who looked like she'd rather get swallowed by the earth alive than be in this position."I... I. I have to go.""Not another step Addison." Jace growled weakly which pained my heart to see him all weak even though still in control.Mr. Jean who was by the door stepped forward, blocking her from scurrying away."Start talking, now." I noticed how Ian allowed Jace—even though weak and dying to handle everything."Four years ago, your mother told me the Moon Goddess has never blessed Brookside Pack Alpha's with true mates.

CARLY WOODS POV Pulling the seat on the opposite side of him, I sat and placed Hunter on my lap.Why didn't he tell me Lykos was dying?He doesn't want you worrying or feeling bad for not agreeing with Ian.And he wanted me to wake up one morning and find out he was gone?Maybe he plans on ringing a bell two seconds before he dies so you'd realize he's not going to hurt his son.Lykos has always been kind to me, even when Jace was a huge pain in the rear. I couldn't watch him die."You dyed a different child's hair and pretended he was Jace's?" I rolled my eyes at him."You know you can always tell us anything, right?" "I found my wolf."A proud smile broke out on Jace's face but Ian looked disappointed at the little piece of information."I don't see how that is of any help to a dying Jace and Lykos. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy you finally got what you wanted, little one but we ain't throwing a party because you finally got your wolf after what? Three? Four years?"My face burned

JACE BALDWIN'S POV In the darkness of the night, the ripping sound of flesh tearing, the wrenching sound of bones cracking and breaking, tangled with the agonizing wails and howls of men and wolves.Our warriors were fierce, their moves unrelenting as they fought against the intruders, fought to reduce the number of the fallen.The unsaid rule of war was clear; kill or be killed.Bodies were shredded, heads were twisted 360 degrees before being ripped off, throats were ripped off... whatever sharp moves the warriors remembered were employed to take down our enemies.My moves were swift and my attacks were with precision as I killed to defend the territory I swore by blood to protect. I had one intention and that was to kill these bastards for trespassing on my territory and antagonizing my people.The ritual worked out on time for the attack.I wondered what would have happened if Carly hadn't stepped in for the ritual. The Outlanders would have spoiled my pack and left it in ruins,
