Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mating The Half She-Wolf: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Strong arms wrapped around me from behind, pulling me closer, tighter. I closed my eyes and let myself be swept away by the warmth, the soft, tender love I’d missed for the past two days. There was nothing like being in the arms of someone you loved, someone you just couldn’t do without.That was how I felt about...My eyes snapped open. Something was wrong. I remembered leaving Hartville with my father, remembered attending Moondew academy. So how could I be in bed with my boyfriend? My hands shook, my heart pounded, though I tried to act unfazed.Enough to not alert my intruder.Behind me, he groaned, pushing himself even closer to me, sniffing me. He breathed into my neck before slowly lowering himself so he could nibble my shoulders.“Astra….”The hot air on my skin was so sudden that I couldn’t stop myself from reacting. Next, his hands moved, trailing my arms until it stopped at my thigh. For a second, it felt like he was asking for permission to keep going, waiting to see if my

The world around us was frozen in time as I tried to process what had just happened. I was in Levi’s arms, caught in his grip, my breath uneven and my mind racing.Heat rushed to my face as I pushed myself off of Levi, suddenly aware of how close we had been. My hands trembled slightly as I steadied myself, and I could feel the weight of a hundred eyes on us.Levi rose to his feet in one fluid motion, his expression flat as he brushed the dirt from his clothes. “You should be more careful,” he muttered.I swallowed hard, nodding, but I barely had a moment to recover before Claire’s mocking voice broke through the silence.“Wow, half blood,” she drawled, folding her arms as she smirked. “First, you lose a fight, now you’re trying to seduce the Alpha’s son? You really don’t know your place.”Laughter rippled through the crowd, and my stomach twisted in humiliation. I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms. My chest tightened as I fought the burning sensation creeping up my th

The room was eerily quiet and filled with tension.As the last of the pack members walked in, I noticed Levi strolling casually, hands in his pocket. He went to a dark corner of the room, the same as the first day I was here, and soon, his silhouette became one with the darkness.But somehow, I could feel his eyes on me, watching me from afar.The pack house was buzzing, every inch filled with murmurs, worried glances, and the scent of unease that clung to the air like smoke. I stood near the back of the great hall, arms crossed tightly across my chest, watching as the room filled with pack members. Some leaned against walls, others sat rigidly on the soft sofas, but we were all waiting.For answers. For the alpha.I could no longer see Levi anymore, and I was grateful. Even though I knew he was here, I could pretend he wasn’t. I needed space to breathe anyway.Finally, the Alpha shut the door, silencing the room as he stepped in. He moved to the center stage, his grey eyes sweeping ov

The morning after last night’s strange events was different, I awoke with a tight knot of anxiety settled in my chest. I was expecting to wake up to noise, gossip, but as I strolled through the halls of the pack house, it was silent. Nobody knew what had happened during the night.And those that were present said nothing.The pack dining room was alive with chatter and clinking cutlery. I tiptoed my way around the long mahogany table, grabbing a plate and keeping my head down.I opted for toast, scrambled eggs, and some sliced fruit. My hand hovered over the coffee pot, but I decided against it. My nerves didn’t need more fuel. I finished quickly, grabbed a shiny red apple, and slipped out unnoticed, determined to explore the rest of the sprawling pack house.It was bigger than I realized. There were rooms for everything. Combat training, archery, music, art, even a small library tucked into a corner near the garden wing. Everyone around me moved with ease and purpose, like they belong

As the week went by, Levi and I didn’t speak much. When I awoke the next morning feeling guilty, hoping to be able to patch things up with him, he didn’t show. Somehow, miraculously, his car was better.It made me think he had just used that excuse to spend time with me, but it was unlikely. He was the alpha’s son and I was barely a werewolf, he had friends and I had none.Why would he want to spend time with a nobody like me?All of that didn’t matter now, he was keeping his distance. It wasn’t until this moment that I realized I was truly alone. I had no friend, no one to tell my problems. I was completely and utterly alone.And it didn’t feel good.It wasn’t just silence, it was avoidance. A gaping void where something used to exist. Something I’d started to rely on. Every time I walked past him in the halls or caught a glimpse of his black hair in the crowd, my heart would skip a beat, stupidly hopeful.But he never looked my way. Not even once.And it was slowly killing me.By Fri
