All Chapters of GRAVE DESIRES: FATED MATES: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Jenny had been right about the storm being wicked.Roxie had curled up in Walker’s embrace after the last go round in the shower. Her body was spent, but in a delicious way.Walker kept her close, knowing that her mind was racing just as much as his was.What was the big secret coming from the witches? Were he and Roxie mates or just so in tuned with each other that their minds were playing tricks on them?He couldn’t see himself without her now and he thought about rejecting his mate even though the bond would be there with the other woman.Roxie had been able to get pregnant, which wasn’t unheard of, but rarer than anything in their world. There’s no way they weren’t meant to be.She’d asked earlier if he’d been able to get a hold of anyone, but except for Brett and Niles, there wasn’t anyone available. Suri was a wreck, but Maddy kept her spirits up.And not one damn suspect taken in for her attack.“Walker… ”“Yeah?”“Are you alright?”“You ask me that a lot for someone who should

“She’s got no one,” Jenny said as the next morning rolled around and Marlena was still in her healing slumber.“No family anywhere?” Roxie asked, “Was the Waning pack small?”“Yes, it was,” Jenny frowned, “I don’t have a clue why’d they be coming this way. This wouldn’t even be the way to another home for them. They were nomadic—going from place to place.”“Maybe they needed shelter?”“Maybe..but there are packs all over the place and they would have passed them...”Evans came in, followed by Walker who’d been out tracking all morning.“She’ll stay with us,” Evans told Jenny, “We can care for her.”Jenny smiled, “I thought you’d say that so I already brought her some clothes and toys. I don’t know how to tell her about her parents...”Metgar barged in behind Evans and Walker, “You get that child up now. We need to know what she knows.”“I will not,” Jenny shook her head, “She’s healing.”“As your Alpha..”Jenny narrowed her eyes, “As your healer, I will not let you bully me. I know ho

“What happened, Roxie?” Walker asked when she came to, “What happened in that cave?”Roxie shook her head. She was trying to remember, but it seemed to distant. Walker had yet to tell her that Connie was dead or about Marlena or anything for that matter. All he wanted was some time with her while the Rager’s held the mass funeral for Marlena’s pack.Marlena had been told about her parents, but she already knew. Although she was very sad, her little mind couldn’t quite wrap itself around a total loss. Jenny and Evans had taken to her right away.Jaleesa was roaming the halls—interested in Walker and Roxie, but Walker hadn’t the slightest clue why.“I heard something about your father,” Roxie said as she began to remember, “Is he in on all of this?”Walker didn’t want to think he was. It was one thing to kill her father in a fit of egotistical rage, but all of this? Hurting Roxie? Letting Walker go so easily? Victor’s assault? Crystal’s...“I can read your thoughts, Walker...” Roxie whi

“Are you sure?” Walker asked as they made their way passed other wolves and witches, the owls and other woodland creatures eyeing them as they walked the trails, “Roxie..”“Stop asking me or I’m going to turn around,” Roxie said through her teeth, “I don’t want to do this, I have to do this.”“Don’t we know what we need to know? Can’t we let it be?”“Walker, she could know something the witches don’t. They were using witchcraft anyway.”“She tried to kill you and she killed our baby!” Walker yelped, causing both of them to stop in their tracks. The others fell many steps behind as Jenny ushered them further away.Roxie turned to face him, “I know what she did to our baby, Walker. I have to be reminded of it every day because I don’t feel him anymore.”Walker swallowed hard, watching as she stepped forward an inch, “I...felt him...I know what I’m missing, what you’re missing. They wouldn’t have done that to us if they weren’t crazed. I don’t need you to remind me.”“I don’t mean to...”

Walker held her close.He couldn’t lose her—he couldn’t lose another child.He hadn’t told her that he’d felt the loss of their son, too. She was such a caregiver to everyone around her, especially him. She’d cater to him more than she should and lose herself in the process.He was already lost in her—completely.“I’m really glad we ended up at the temple now,” Roxie said as they walked back to the kitchen, “Can you imagine what might have happened to us by now if we hadn’t gone there or been picked up by the Ragers? I can’t believe I’m even saying that.”“I can’t believe I’m agreeing with you,” Walker smiled, “I wash, you dry?”“Sounds good to me,” Roxie said, “Does this feel natural to you, Walker?”“Washing dishes? No, I hate washing dishes,” Walker laughed, “I’d rather just use paper,-”“No, silly..us...do we feel natural?”“I know you’re all natural.”“I’m being serious,” Roxie smiled, “That first time on the track is when I felt something.”“You remember that?”“Of course I do,”
