All Chapters of Fated To My Sister's Mate: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Roman POV: I checked back into the motel around six p.m., somewhat disconcerted by the smiling face of the receptionist when I walked in. Then I dropped the bag of clothing and food Nolan had coaxed me into taking with him on the bed, before collapsing beside it. “Audrey, where are you?” I whispered, hearing my voice crack due to the pain. Knowing she was very much alive made me feel much better, but the fact that she wasn't here, by my side, well. I grunted and stood, then freshened up in the bathroom, frowning at the poor waterwork. I didn't really need to have a bath, but I needed to do something other than think about Audrey. My mind was in turmoil, and I needed to cool off somehow. I dressed up immediately and headed out, giving a simple nod to the receptionist. Why was she the only one available? Didn't they do rotations? “No matter,” I told myself and continued my silent journey to the woods. The roads were clearing up of people at the time, and I was relieved to have les

Roman POV: Fuck. Had I gone to the wrong house? The woman gave me a once-over, then opened her mouth to speak. I was prepared to snap her neck, then paused when I recalled what Nolan had said about a Peony. She lived with him. I paused, then interrupted whatever speech she was about to make. “Hello, Peony.” She stared at me dumbfounded for a moment before gasping. “How the hell do you know my name?” she demanded, her hand on her heart. I was taken aback by her high pitched voice. This was definitely not how I wanted us to meet, I thought wryly as I gave her a once-over as well. She was still dressed in work-clothes, so she must have just returned from her work. Which explained why the lights were on. Truly, she was pretty, and she seemed to be Nolan’s dream woman from what he'd told me. I couldn't even dream of hurting her anymore. I employed another tactic. “I'm Nolan's friend…son.” I grimaced at the last word. “Roman.” Her eyes widened again, but I recognized the look

Audrey POV: From the things Roman told me about the pack he came from and about our ‘mate’ bond, I had a much deeper tie with him than I'd assumed. I couldn't not believe it, because the way I'd felt drawn to him like he was a magnet didn't seem normal at all. It felt like I couldn't live without him anymore since I'd laid eyes on him, and I understood why when he explained it to me. Still, it didn't mean I was completely on board with the concept, and he didn't fault me for it. Instead, he told me to take as much time as I needed to understand everything on my own terms. He wasn't going to push me or force me into a corner. He wanted me to be his again freely and by my own will. To say I didn't swoon after that declaration would be to lie. Selena returned some time after that, and I almost regretted her presence. Almost. “I'd be returning home, Miss Dawson,” Roman randomly mentioned as Selena tucked me in. My blood froze as Selena paused and turned to him. “Oh. And how lo

Roman POV: I almost couldn’t believe my eyes. But the facts were right in front of me. I looked with disgust as Jacob repeatedly slammed into Tanya, oddly reminded of the time I walked in on Margrave doing that as well. The two were going at it with so much passion, completely oblivious to the fact that they had an audience. Tanya moaned out loud and stretched downwards, while Jacob added more force to his thrusts, grunting loudly. The fact that I'd imagined Audrey in that position multiple times did not help matters at all. It was time to put an end to this. “You should be ashamed of yourselves.” They froze simultaneously, whipping around to we me and my mate. While Tanya's face twisted in pure fury, Jacob's had an easy smirk on his face. “Please,” he jeered. “You wish you were here.” “Her mate just died,” I replied annoyedly. “And the next thing you do is elect yourself as her new fuck toy?” Tanya growled, pushing herself off the wall while Jacob slid out of her. She'd c

Audrey POV: I sat quietly, staring up at the stars. Despite the hour, I didn't feel afraid or worried for Roman. Perhaps it was because we were at a temple that I felt oddly at peace, but at least I didn't feel unpleasant. The sound of a twig breaking attracted my attention, and I whirled around to see a young woman approaching me. Her hair glittered in the moonlight, and she looked almost otherworldly. I was about to greet her, but paused when I recalled Roman saying that everyone was underground except the bad guys- the Crimson Wolves, he'd called them. This woman had an aura of peace, so why was she out here? “Hello,” she said when she'd reached me. “How are you?” “Um, hi,” I responded sheepishly. Was she a bad person too? She seemed to have stepped out from the temple. The temple. Was Roman okay? “Roman's alright, Audrey.” I heaved a sigh, then blinked, realizing that she'd answered me as though she knew my mate, and wondering if I'd spoken my thoughts out loud. “Yo
