All Chapters of Fighting The Mate Bond : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 21Kayla's POVI woke up with a stiff neck, wondering why, until I realized I was in the back seat of my dad's SUV. Sitting up to see our location, I knew we were no longer in our hometown. Mom was eating a small bag of BBQ chips with water, and Dad was drinking a soda. I reached back into the cooler to grab a bottle of water; I was thirsty. I wondered how long I had been asleep, as I had no idea where we were. I noticed the gas light was on, indicating we needed to stop at a gas station to fill up."Dad, where are we?" Looking in the rearview mirror, he chuckled at my sleepy eyes."We're in Virginia right now, just four hours away from home. We're stopping for gas up ahead, so if you need to use the bathroom, go while I pump gas." Four hours away from home? That meant he would need to stop for gas again. I had been asleep for hours; geez. When we finally stopped at a gas station, I could smell wolves; they worked here. I wondered if they would cause trouble, hoping they would

Chapter 23Corey's POVI knew it was almost time for them to arrive, and Lucas was about to go crazy trying to make sure everything was just perfect. When I showed him the menu, he finally calmed down. It was just insane. Why go to so much trouble for people we had never met before? They were supposed to be powerful, right? Well, let them show off here; I will show them something different. I took Lucas into the throne room, where his father used to go when he didn’t want to be bothered. It was quiet in there, and I knew he thought of his father from time to time. His father wasn't really a good man; he would cheat on his wife, and she would know when he did because she would feel it. He did do some good by building the jail and dungeons to put rogues behind bars. He also built the fighting arena for the games and protected his mate when she needed it. He built the throne room just for himself when he wanted to be alone. Not even the queen was allowed in there unless there was a meeti

Chapter 25Ishia POVWe were back on the road. All I wanted to do was get there and get things done. Ava had a little trouble last night getting sick in the middle of the night. I knew it was natural; she did this with Kayla. So, I hopped in the car to get some crackers for her. As long as she doesn't ask for pickles and donuts, I'm good. Yes, that's what she ate when she was pregnant with Kayla. She would put the pickle on top of the donut and eat it like that. I shivered at the thought. When I got back with the crackers and ginger ale, she was already asleep. I placed the crackers on the table and the drink on the table beside her. I got into bed but couldn't sleep. It kept going through my head how those rogues wanted to stop me from getting to my destination. I was proud of Kayla, but I swear she gets more dangerous by the day. She has a little of my dad and my mom inside her and a whole lot of me. Things can go wrong really fast, and I do not want that to happen.When I did get s

Chapter 27Corey's POVI knew my cousin was in an uproar about their arrival, wanting everything prepared and in order for when they finally got here. He takes after his mother in that way, always on edge when visitors came to the castle, especially when the elders arrived. Their only purpose was to inform him of the need for a queen, lecturing him before departing. This pressure is the reason he resists the idea of a mate; the constant coercion leaves him with no room to choose for himself. He has spent years searching for his mate, mentioning just the other day that if he doesn't find her within three years, he will select one. I sincerely hope it isn't Angie; she is power-hungry, spreading lies among the females here and positioning herself as the soon-to-be queen. Lucas is likely exposed to her deceit, and I realize I haven't seen Angie around the castle lately. She must be scheming to catch the king's attention.When the anticipated mindlink finally arrived, Lucas turned to us to

Chapter 29Hey guys, I forgot about Luna, their first daughter. She's 24 now, and she's in college, so I needed to bring her into this. Someone mentioned her in the comments. Like I said, I'm bringing her in with a friend from her school, so please bear with me, okay? Thanks, guys.Luna, Isaiah, and Ava's first daughter.I was off at college trying to earn my teaching degree. I had only a year left, but I missed my life back home. I'd missed the excitement of going on collections and kicking people's asses. Mom called me and told me that Kayla would be shifting soon, so I wanted to be there for her. I was going to take a leave and head back home. A week later, she called me and told me I was going to be a big sister again. I was more excited about this as I felt like I was missing out on things at home. When I turned 18 and shifted for the first time, I found my mate, but he rejected me because he said he couldn’t keep up with my family. He claimed we were too dangerous, but in realit
