All Chapters of HIS RELUCTANT MATE: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

JAREDOf course, I knew what he was about to say.If he didn't love the alpha, how could he be so sad?Love was indeed a painful thing. It was both good and bad, and many times, I'd wished there was no emotion called love. Maybe if love didn't exist, the world would be more peaceful?But that sounded even more ridiculous to my ears. How could the world exist without love?How could I meet Sterly without love?Love brought so many people into my life. It brought the aunt in the orphanage home, it brought Stephen and his parents, it brought Sterly and his family, it brought Cindy, and then Shawn. Every one of these people was the best gift the world could ever offer, and love brought them all to me. It made it extremely difficult. I couldn't hate love... I really couldn't. But seeing Shawn suffering so much for it, my heart ached terribly. "It's okay, Jared," Shawn mumbled as he pulled away from the hug. He revealed a small smile and stood up. "I should leave now. We will see

JAREDWe had a big advantage because the hotel being used belonged to Sterly, and surprisingly, it was built in my name. Well, I didn't know anything about this until we came to prepare things yesterday, and the alpha manager showed up to welcome us himself. I was stunned silly, but due to the urgency of the matter and the fact that I wanted it kept away from Sterly, I couldn't pursue the matter. When everything came to an end, I would reveal the truth to Sterly and ask him about the hotel. As I said to my parents back then, the properties left for me by Sterly were enough to make me live a lifetime of luxury without having to work. And one thing was certain, Sterly would never betray me. He was someone who loved too slowly, and now that he had finally fallen for me, it would be almost impossible for him to let me go. It was becoming harder to wait for the wedding. I shouldn't have settled on a date that was so far away. It was still more than a week away, even as of now. "We

JAREDI froze in place, unable to even blink as I looked at my bloodied friends on the ground. My heart thumped violently, and with my eyes fixed on their figures, my lips opened: "Why?" I asked. The old alpha's grip tightened on my chin, and he laughed. But my eyes remained dazed. The plan had been filled with loopholes from the beginning, but it shouldn't have been this terrible. It shouldn't have failed this badly. Why?I had never met the man in my life, and he shouldn't even know about us. Why did he treat my friends this way?Stephen had recently given birth, and his body wasn't yet as strong as it used to be. Shawn was an omega. Why would the man be so cruel to them?Why would he treat them this way?"You are sad?" The old alpha's tone was filled with mockery as he asked. "When you were planning enthusiastically about rescuing your friend, why didn't you think of the consequences then?"My body trembled. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I pushed them back. Even if I

JAREDI watched as Sterly stepped into the room. His eyes were extremely cold as they fell on the old alpha's outstretched hand, and without saying a word, his pheromone deepened. The domineering aura made my knees buckle, but the old alpha got it worse...He fell directly on his knees. Following him were his men and then Shawn, who staggered forward and almost fell. I ran toward him and took hold of his arm, supporting him as he stood. Shawn groaned. He pointed at Sterly and shook his head. His lips parted like he wanted to say something, but nothing came out. My eyes twitched as my gaze fell on his forehead, which was full of sweat, and I immediately turned to look at Sterly. "No, Sterly. Stop releasing your pheromone." I said in a low voice. Sterly glanced at me, and his eyes flickered with anger. He turned his head away as if he didn't want to look at me. However, his pheromones decreased until there was barely any in the room. My chest tightened, but at the same time

JAREDBeep. Beep. The sound of the monitor rang in my ears, causing slight discomfort as my brows creased. My eyelashes fluttered as they peeled open with difficulty, but the effect of the white ceiling made them close again. I frowned deeply. Wasn't this the hospital?I forced my eyes open again, and slowly, I adapted to the brightness of the room. "Jared, you're awake." A deep voice rang beside me. My heart skipped a beat. Sterly...He appeared in my view and bent forward, touching my forehead as he looked into my eyes. "How are you feeling?""Any discomfort?" His tone sounded calm, but his eyes betrayed his anxiety. His eyes flickered with fear and concern as he held my hand, gently squeezing it. "Do you feel uncomfortable?" He asked again. My heart felt conflicted as my lips pressed into a thin line and tears welled up in my eyes again. I blinked back the tears and bit my lower lip. "I'm sorry, Sterly." "I'm sorry, I should have told you everything.""I shouldn't hav
