All Chapters of My Plus-Size Best Friend Is My Mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Nathan’s POVI paced around my office, my mind reeling from the events that had just transpired. What was that? Why did I kiss Ashina? I ran a frustrated hand through my hair, trying to make sense of my actions. The memory of her lips lingered, and I could still the tingles course through my veins.I walked over to my intercom and pressed the button. My secretary responded promptly. "Clear my schedule for the rest of the day," I told her, my voice strained. "And make an appointment with the pack’s doctor. Immediately.""Yes, Alpha Nathan," she replied, and I could sense the confusion in her voice.I yanked off my tie aggressively, feeling suffocated by it. I had never wanted anyone as much as I wanted Ashina. It was a need, a craving that I couldn’t understand or control. Where had these feelings come from? Were they sudden, or had they been simmering all these while only to explode on me so suddenly?I felt like something was wrong with me. Kissing my best friend while she was asleep

ASHINA’S POVNathan cleared his throat and said, "It was probably just a dream." He then turned away from me and looked out the window, clearing his throat again and adjusting his sitting position. He seemed uncomfortable, but I didn’t think too much of his behavior."You're right," I said, trying to sound casual. "It was probably just a dream," I said casually, but deep down, I wished it wasn’t. In my dream, it was Nathan who kissed me. I knew Nathan would never kiss me, but when I asked him about it, I held onto a string of hope, wishing it were true.I stared out of the car window again, watching the scenery blur past as my thoughts went into a spiral. Why did it feel so real? Why did my heart yearn for something that seemed so impossible? The silence in the car felt heavy, almost suffocating, as I wrestled with my feelings.A few minutes later, Nathan suddenly broke the silence. "Ashina, have you ever kissed someone before? Had a fling or anything of that sort with anyone?" He ask

NATHAN’S POVErica stood in front of me stark naked, her clothes surrounding her. When did she take off her clothes?“What do you think you’re doing?” My voice boomed, echoing in the room.“Don’t you miss this?” She asked sultrily her hands roaming her body.I stood up from the floor I was sitting on, “Leave Erica, I won’t tell you twice.” Erica remained where she stood. Seemed like she had resolved to do this as she knew what the repercussions of going against me at this moment would be. She slowly walked towards me, her perky breast bouncing as she walked. When she got to me, she used the tip of her index finger to trace against my chest, circling me as she whispered in my ears, “I know you want me. You crave for me…”I grabbed her by her hands and brought her close to me, our faces only inches away from each other. “I won’t warn you again. Get out.”“You can’t tell me you don’t want me. I know you do,” Erica said freeing her hands away from my grasp. She ran her hands on my back

Ashina’s povI took a deep breath, my emotions threatening to spill over. “Avoiding you? No, Nathan. I’m just taking a day for myself. Everyone needs a break now and then, don’t they?” I tried to keep my tone light, but I knew he could see through my facade.Nathan’s eyes narrowed, and I could see the wheels turning in his mind. “Ashina, I know you. Something’s off. What’s going on?”I pulled my hand away gently, turning back to the potatoes. “Nothing’s going on, Nathan. I’m just...tired. That’s all.”“Ash-” Nathan started but was interrupted by a call. He gave me a look before taking the call. It was his secretary.“I'll be there in a minute,” Nathan said and ended the call.“Needed at the office?” I asked trying to sound normal. Nathan nodded solemnly. “Go on,” I said still not looking at him.“Well discuss this in the night Ash,” Nathan said and I nodded with a tight smile. I felt his gaze linger on me for some seconds before he finally left.Once he was gone, I released the air I

I lay on a bed, my mind foggy and my limbs weak. The dim light in the room made it hard to make out the details, but I knew I was in one of the hotel rooms. Philip had carried me from the restaurant to the room, and I was too weak to fight back. My body felt like it was burning up from the inside, every nerve in my body aching and over-simulated. In my haze, I kept mumbling Nathan’s name. “Nathan…” He was the only person that clouded my already clouded mind. Philip’s voice cut through my gaze.“Who’s Nathan?” he sneered, then laughed. “Let me guess, the boy you’ve had a crush on all your life?”His laughter echoed in the room, making my skin crawl. He lay next to me, his hand slowly tracing up my exposed leg with a disgusting smile on his lips. I tried to move away, but my body wouldn’t respond. My attempts against him were weak, my wolf wasn’t responding to me. I was utterly frustrated. “Stop...” I managed to whisper, my voice barely audible.Philip ignored me, his hand moving up
