All Chapters of Mating The Half She-Wolf: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

I don't know how long I sat in the hall. Seconds? Minutes? Hours? I could barely hear everyone else around me now.All I could think about was figuring out where Levi was, and possibly finding him.I was beginning to feel weak and cold, my head was throbbing, my breathing scattered. It was like that night all over again. The night I dreamt Levi was in my room. I could feel the pressure sitting on my chest, limiting my search for air.A pull.At first, it was faint. A tiny thread tugging at the center of my heart. I blinked, fighting to stay awake. I inhaled deeply, catching a scent. And suddenly, everything was heightened. Startled, I sat up straighter.Earlier at the party, I had smelt Valerie. I was so sure it was her, and I was right. Now, I could smell someone else. Someone I hadn’t smelt since this morning.Someone like…Levi.I couldn’t trace it to a particular spot, every other person’s scent in this room was mixing with it. But I was sure it was Levi’s.If only I could get out

As soon as I stepped into the pack house, everyone went silent. They had heard about me sneaking out, about finding Levi, about everything.But I didn’t care about that.I had found Levi, that had to count for something. No matter the means I had to resort to, at least I was victorious. I just needed to be sure he was fine now.I watched as the different faces followed me, not knowing what each one was thinking. Though I was technically safe now, the silence was not comforting. I could barely breathe, the cold from the woods still pressing into my bones.I moved slowly down the hall, my body sore and sluggish, my mind spinning with unanswered questions. Where was Levi? Was he stable? Awake? Did he ask for me?I should’ve felt some relief now that the woods and blood and desperation were behind me. But I didn’t. I felt more broken now than I had when I’d held his cold hand in mine, whispering useless words to keep him from falling asleep.I staggered all the way up the stairs, passing e

Levi was right.Monday came faster than anyone wanted, and with it came a whole new view on life. Nobody was talking about me as the new girl who was half human, they were all talking about how brave I was to go in search of Levi.And how romantic the whole gesture seemed.But as the week went by, news of Levi’s arranged marriage began to surface. Whispers erupted once more, most of them directed at me. Some centered on pity, some reveled in my despair. Then on Thursday, I heard the first rumor about how it was indeed me who had ended it with Levi.I don’t know who started it or where they had gotten the idea, but part of me suspected it was all Levi’s doing.The conversation changed again, most people intrigued by the balls they stupidly believed I possessed. Because who in their right mind would reject a wolf with alpha blood. Some people detested me for it, while some worshipped the ground I walked on.Either way, my name was on almost everyone’s lips. Both adults and teenagers. It

I never thought I’d willingly walk out of Moondew and into Hollow Veil again, much less with girls I didn’t like, and had nothing in common with.As soon as Ruby smeared her blood across the barrier, I knew there was no going back.I stood with the others at the edge of the barrier, shivering slightly. Not from the cold, but from a strange unease that coiled in my stomach. The sky above us was painted in dark streaks, the sun already descended behind the thick canopy of Moondew’s bordering forest.The girls all exchanged looks with me, the smile on their faces wide and unchallenging. They were excited, while I was worried. It was pretty deranged to be happy about walking into danger, especially one we’d been warned about time and time again.They were treating this like a field trip, like a girls scout outing.None of this was okay.We walked about five minutes into the forest before Ruby snapped her fingers, making flames appear at the tip of two of her nails. She led the way, walkin

There was silence.Levi’s wolf form stood over the mangled body. Blood dripped from his fangs as he slowly turned toward me. His eyes dimmed back to gray. He shifted back slowly, breathing hard. His chest heaved. Blood covered his hands.I stared, trembling. “You…killed him.”“I couldn’t stop Cain,” he said, staring at his red stained palms.Then Vrael’s voice echoed around us from the depths of the forest.“You’ll pay for this,” he said coldly. “Ezra was my brother. You killed him for a girl who doesn’t even know what she is.”Levi growled, looking around, his eyes sharp, ready to pounce if the prince decided to make an appearance.“Why don’t you show your face?” he called out, loudly. “Let’s finish what you started.”“No,” Vrael said softly. “Not today. But trust that I’ll come for you. I’ll take everything you care about until you feel my pain. A life for a life. A love for a love.”Levi curled his fists tight. “I’ll be waiting for you, and next time, you won’t get the chance to lay
