All Chapters of The Accused Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“You must get rid of her,” Darren demanded.“I can’t do that,” Zane sighed, focusing his attention on the mountain of paperwork he needed to complete.“Why not?” Darren growled.“Whether you or anyone else likes it or not, Amari is a part of our pack now.”“She is not a part of our pack! She is an outsider! You saw what happened when you allowed outsiders in, and you’re about to make the same mistake twice.”“I appreciate your concern; however, I’m the Alpha, and you’re not. Let me do my job. If you cared so much about this pack then you wouldn’t have taken off and dumped your responsibilities on me,” Zane snarled.“That’s fucked up, and you know it. Try losing your mate first and then come back and say that to me!” Darren snapped.“I’m sorry,” Zane whispered. “I-I didn’t mean it. I’m just so…stressed. I feel like I have the entire world on my shoulder, and it becomes more apparent each day that passes that I’m not fit for this job.”“Don’t say that…you’re doing fine.”“Fine i

“What the hell?!” Alexander growled, jumping to his feet. He couldn’t believe Amari embarrassed him in front of everyone. “Is this the thanks I get?” he yelled, snatching the offered napkin from a servant.“What am I supposed to thank you for? This?!” Amari shouted, shoving her gloved hand into view.Alexander was pissed, and he wanted to take his anger out on her. Instead, he punched the servant who tried to offer him additional assistance. Gasps were heard around the dining room as Amari and Alexander glared at each other.The servant held his cheek and stared back at Amari with hopeful eyes. She gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes. She hoped he was not looking to her for help. As far as she was concerned, he deserved it for being one of her biggest bullies. In fact, she wanted Alexander to hit him again.“Did that make you feel good about yourself?” she taunted, tilting her head to the side as she boldly challenged Alexander in front of the entire room. His wolf, Titus, was not i

“We need to talk.”“We have nothing to talk about,” Amari snapped at Alexander.“Sure, we do,” he sighed after taking in another large inhale. Her scent was powerful, and he simply couldn’t get enough of it. Had Amari arrived a few moments earlier, she would have caught him sniffing her pillow, where her scent was the most concentrated.Peculiarly, as the weeks waned after Amari’s departure, Alexander found himself less distraught about Camilla’s death as time went on. He checked his mark that morning in the mirror and noticed it had nearly faded away. His wolf’s warning from weeks ago began nagging at him from the back of his mind.“Get out,” Amari demanded with a little more force in her shaky voice. She was confident at first, but her confidence slowly slipped away with each second her former mate’s cold eyes bore into her.“I’d love to see you make me,” he sinisterly laughed as he stood to his feet. Alexander slowly approached her, backing her into the door. She trembled against t

“Get off of me,” Amari demanded weakly as she struggled beneath him.“Why? What do you think I’m planning on doing to you?”“I-I don’t know, but you’ve already abducted me, and now you have me chained to a bed. Excuse me for not believing you have good intentions.”“Maybe I should tell you the gruesome details of what happened to Camilla. Maybe I should let one of the pack warriors come in here and ravage you while you’re completely defenseless.” Despite her fear, Amari couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “You’re not in the position to have an attitude right now.”“May I speak freely?” Amari asked.“Go ahead.”“I’m not sure how old you are, but you’re too old to be in this much denial. I can feel your wolf reaching out to Titania right now. How hard is it to admit you made a mistake?” she challenged. Alexander stared down at Amari in silence. “I know why it’s so hard. It’s because you would have to live with the fact for the rest of your life that you brutalized and tortured your own mat

The sound of a gun firing resonated through the air, causing Amari’s ears to ring painfully. She rolled away to get out of the way of the massive wolf who was tearing the beggar apart limb from limb. She pushed herself up on her feet and ran through the forest as fast as she could, ignoring the pain from the branches that slapped her in the face and the sharp rocks that cut her feet. She heard the pounding of the wolf’s paws behind her, and she feared she’d be next.A large shadow flew above her. It was too late for Amari to stop when she collided with the wolf and fell onto her back. She attempted to get up when the wolf placed both his front paws on her shoulders, effectively pinning her to the ground.The wolf was different from the chocolate-colored wolf that saved her from the beggar. His size was almost double the other wolf, and his familiar golden eyes glistened with mischief. It was Amari’s first time seeing Alexander in wolf form, and she couldn’t help but scoff at the fact
