All Chapters of The Alphas Secret Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Logan"Quit looking so sus. You snuck out. Your mum won't find out." I growled at Olly as he pulled his hoodie up as we snuck through the woods to where the bonfire was happening. When Sadie wasn't able to throw one of her usual house parties, we headed to the woods. There was a small patch that was far from the pack but also nowhere near the border, so we were free of the route the warriors used for patrol. It was perfect.The fire was blazing, the wood cracking as it blazed. There were a few kegs amongst the fallen logs. People were already sitting. There was a speaker sounding out a few beats as chatter filled the air. "I know. I just... Oh, hi, Hanna." Olly's mood brightened instantly as he ditched me. Guess that's who he was chatting to the other night. I caught them leaning in as he whispered something in her ear. I headed over to the keg, pouring myself a drink before circling around the bonfire in a circle.I hadn't even made it one lap before Lola intercepted me. Her jet-blac

RileyI paced around my kitchen feeling alive in ways I haven't felt in years. Or if I'm being honest, ever. My skin tingled with awareness. I could practically feel Logan's hands all over my body with the way his eyes skimmed my heated skin. Thank the goddess Olly was throwing up to snap me out of my senses before I did something I regretted. An ache pulsed between my legs, more insistent than it should. Even as I replayed the image of the smudged lipstick on Logan's neck, it still didn't stop the surge of jealousy taking over me. My wolf had taken one look at it and demanded he leave.He's a teenage boy. Of course he would be sleeping with other girls. Why was I even jealous?Then I remembered the way he looked at me. For a second, his dark blue eyes held so much hunger and want as he stared at my body like it held all the answers in the world. Dylan didn't even look at me like that.What am I even saying?This is ridiculous.As I paced up and down, I saw Dylan's picture almost glar

LoganAs if the gods and my sister were sent here to punish me, Violet had brought over her gaggle of friends again. Mum was in the kitchen prepping for dinner. There wasn't an inch of countertop that didn't have something cooking, marinating, or prepped to be cooked. "How many of us are coming for dinner?" I asked, picking a grape from the fruit bowl as she smacked my hand."Just the girls," Mum grumbled, and I knew she wasn't happy about that. "Did Olly's mum cancel?" I asked, hoping the stutter of my heart didn't give anything away. Olly and I hadn't talked since I dropped him off at his house a few days ago. He had been at school but suddenly the library and the gym were more important than speaking with his best friend. I wasn't going to hound the guy, but I also was trying not to take it personally."No," Mum muttered, her face set in that way everyone knew danger was approaching. She had a fake polite exterior, but underneath we all knew the match had been lit and it was only a

RileyOlly was sulking, having been grounded for everything except school. Evidently, that was punishment enough. Part of me wanted to keep him home so I could keep an eye on him and stop him from hanging out with a certain someone.He was currently in his bedroom playing some war game if the loud bangs and crashes were anything to go by. I had cleaned upstairs and was currently working through the open-plan lounge, dining, kitchen space. I loved this house. It was cozy and warm but easy to clean. It was perfect for just me and Olly.Dylan and I had another place—bigger—before... but I couldn't stand to be there after... so I sold it and moved here. It had a small garden, a drive, and two good-sized bedrooms. The main bathroom for Olly and an ensuite for me. As a single mom, it was easy to manage and keep an eye on Olly so he didn't hurt himself. He could play in the lounge or be watching TV, and I could make dinner, do laundry, clean, and still have time to play with him.I miss thos

RileyWhy do they make these damn chairs so uncomfortable? I can't seem to find a spot that works, and as a result, I keep shifting back and forth like a child who needs to pee. I take another sip of wine, hoping it will hide my nerves, which are now a hundred times worse than before. Thankfully, Olly is sat next to me and Gabriel on my right.Violet comes in looking stunning as always but bored. "Riley, I'm glad you could make it." Was that a subtle dig from before? Or actual enthusiasm? "Vi is just salty as I beat her in the last five games we played of F1," Olly added as Violet narrowed her eyes at him, looking annoyed.She went to take the seat opposite me, but as she pulled out the chair, Logan swept in so he sat across from me. "Logi, rude," she complained before taking the seat beside him. He gave me a look that made my insides melt, and the fidgeting continued some more. Why is it so hot in here?I switched from wine to water. I'm going to need to keep a level head for this. I
