Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mated by fate: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Eric's POVI have been trying to figure out what's odd about Tammy, but I've been unable to come up with anything helpful. Every time I think I have figured it out, something else happens, that throws me off. And her being completely clueless about everything, makes it even worse. A knot of unease tightens in my chest. She's not just my brother's mate, she's becoming like family too. Ever since she came into the pack, some things have shifted around here. Though subtle, but undeniable. Especially after the incident at the infirmary. I know there's no proof that those people regained consciousness because of her, but I firmly believe that she was responsible for it. It would have been easy to brush it off as a mere coincidence, but after Adam reported her being able to smell things that he couldn't, even with his strong sense of smell, I knew it wasn't normal.I spent the morning at the library, searching for books that have something to do with our world, hoping I could find someth

Tammy's POVWith Salvatore gone, I finally allowed myself to take a stroll around the settlement - the reason I had come out in the first place. I navigate the different areas here, making a conscious effort to avoid the places I had seen in the trance. Yet, I am unable to shake off the feeling of unease from earlier. My steps falter, my gaze constantly flicking over my shoulder, as I get the prickly feeling of being watched. Could that be the case, or am I just paranoid?I hear the rustling of dry leaves on the ground and I snap my head around, hoping to catch the person behind my uneasy feeling. I find no one. It only seals my thoughts that it is just my overactive imagination working.A gust of wind blows by, and I shiver slightly, shoving my hands in the pockets of my joggers - Adam's, actually. I took it from him before leaving his room, this morning. From the corner of my eye, I see a shadowy figure lurking in the woods. I change my direction, stealthily approaching where the

Tammy's POVWe managed to find a way to take Jackson to the infirmary, without anyone noticing. I don't want to imagine the kind of problems that would have arisen if anyone did. We did everything in silence, Adam and I barely exchanging words, except when it was necessary. It was obvious that he was still shaken from what happened earlier. From my interactions with him, I realized how calm and composed he usually is. I would like to blame his violent acts on the full moon, just like Jackson attributed the reason for his kissing me to its influence. It's unsettling, finally witnessing firsthand, the effects of the moon on the ones that don't become comatose.Adam left to clear his head, leaving me to tend to Jackson's injuries. Jackson's jaw is swollen and discolored, a deep gash above his eyebrow oozing blood, and I suspect that he might have bruised ribs. Adam hadn't held back. The effects were even worse because considering the circumstances, it was an uneven fight. Adam was in

Tammy's POVAdam abruptly stands up from the bed, moving to the door. He grips the doorknob, then hesitates, his gaze fixed on the wood as if locked in an internal struggle. He rakes his hands through his hair and glances back at me, his gaze heated. Adam sucks in a breath. "Fuck it." Then with purposeful strides, he closes the distance between us, his lips finding mine in a demanding kiss. Without giving it a second thought, I twine my arms around his neck, kissing him back passionately. Adam lifts me effortlessly off the bed, not breaking the kiss, and I immediately wrap my legs around his torso.His hands trace the curve of my thigh, pushing the hem of my shorts higher, as his lips trail down my neck, finding the sensitive spot below my ear. "Adam," I gasp, as his teeth graze my skin. The heat of his touch spreads through me like wildfire, filling every part of my body with need. A low groan sounds from his chest, and he pulls back, his eyes locking with mine, clear hunger in

Adam's POVThe sound of Eric's booming laughter resonates through the woods. "It's not funny, Eric," I mumble, rubbing the back of my neck. His laughing fit dies down, but a glint of amusement remains in his eyes. "Wait," he chuckles. "Come again. You mean she slept off while having sex with you?" "Yes," I breathe. My response sends him into another wave of laughter, and I instantly regret telling him. "Wow. I knew you sucked, but this is a whole new level."I ignore his jests. I know what happened to Tammy wasn't normal, I just know it. "She came into my room, begging me to have sex with her, and when it happened, she fainted." I pause. "Do you think that's normal?"The grin on Eric's lips vanishes, an unreadable look taking its place. "She came to you? I thought you went to her. I mean, isn't that the werewolf thing to do? Especially with the full moon's heat?"I sigh. "I know, and that's why I'm worried. Why would she do that, and then lose consciousness?""Do you think it's
