All Chapters of Fated to the Alpha: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“As long as he doesn’t proposition the women in this building, I don’t care if Ezar is a troll with three eyes,” I tell her as we part ways at the end of the street.I watch her wave at me and run towards the bus stop before I make my way down to Benny’s.I have a lot on my mind today. A dead wolf shifter from a pack that has just moved in isn’t a good look. And the fact that I am dead in the center is problematic.Throughout the day, my thoughts wander to Marsha.Why was she a target? Why would someone attack and kill a female shifter?What bothers me more is that Austin found no other scent on her but mine. Isn’t that a little too convenient?However, things take a turn when I reach my afternoon job. The number of Other customers has me tense. That’s not normal. And the way they keep glancing at me has me on edge.The murder from last night is on my mind, and I have a bad feeling. The three female shifters are also acting reserved.As the evening dawns, it’s no wonder that I’m growi

SelineIt’s Gina who finds me, covered in vomit and blood.“Seline!” Alarm and fear are intermixed emotions as she rushes inside to help me off the floor where I’m collapsed. I manage to sit up, feeling hazy, something pounding in my head.All the weakness that had vanished after the potions that Sam had given me, it’s all back. I can barely lift my head. I feel like my whole body is shutting down, and for the first time, I don’t even care.When did my life become such a miserable existence that death seems like an appealing option?“What happened?!” Gina props me against the wall, grabbing and dampening a towel to wipe my face.“F-fell,” I manage to slur, but Gina gives me a disbelieving look.“I wasn’t born yesterday, Seline. Something is seriously wrong with you, and it’s been wrong for a while.”Her hand is gentle as she wipes away the blood and vomit from my face and neck and I close my eyes, feeling relief at the touch of the cold towel.“Have you been to see a healer?” Her voic

“If the pack hunter comes after me, maybe he’ll be doing me a favor at this point.” My words are harsh. “From the moment, you have entered this town, all you have done is toss insult after insult at me for God knows what reason. You rejected me. I get that. But you could have been civil about it. You’re the one who chose to make my life a living hell, Austin. So, I don’t want to help you. I don’t deserve whatever it is you’re doing to me. And I sure as hell didn’t deserve any of this.”I walk away, not giving him a chance to say anything.When I turn to look in his direction five minutes later, he’s gone.Chapter 16SelineIt’s the next few days of listlessness, this knowing that every moment of my life is now finite, that has me seeking out the mayor.“A three-month notice?”Mayor Hamrington looks displeased.“I don’t want to stay here anymore.” I look around his lavish office.“If this is about your salary, I can raise it—"“It’s not about that,” I assure him, but he is clearly not

She’s staring at me, as if unable to process my reaction, and I burst out, “I’m not the reason my father left, Mom. I’m not the reason your life is a mess. You’re the reason you sit in gambling halls all day long, racking up debt after debt, unable to stick to one man, unable to live a fulfilling life. You’re the reason, not me. It was never me.”My chest is aching to the point that I feel it will burst from all this pent-up agony inside me.“I did nothing to you, Mom. If I was such a problem, you should have left me somewhere to die or handed me to someone else. But you didn’t. And it sure is hell isn’t because of any maternal instincts within you—it’s because you needed to blame somebody. You needed to hurt somebody for every wrong decision you ever took!”As the dam finally breaks, words of anger and pain are flowing out of my mouth. And so much hatred.“I’m dying, Mom!” I want to scream at her. “Your child is dying! And instead of trying to act like a mother at least once in your

My mouth parts of its own volition and he takes advantage of that, forcing his tongue in and licking in my mouth. There’s a ravenous heat to him right now, as if he can’t get enough. I can feel every inch of him and it makes me shudder. I feel him thrust his leg between mine and I don’t resist, opening my legs. And then I gasp, my head hitting the wall when he raises his knee and rubs it against the most sensitive part of me.Austin doesn’t stop. He doesn’t come to his senses.It’s like a dam has broken with that one kiss, and neither of us are in control of our bodies. All I feel is white heat where he touches me. I’m dripping wet, and when he presses his knee against my pussy, I see stars. Without logic and reason, I fall apart with a broken cry and I feel his mouth against my neck in a frenzy. His pent-up desires are almost painful as he keeps rubbing my pussy, not allowing me to come down from my high, as his mouth ravages my neck.“A-Austin!” I gasp out. To tell him what, I don’t
