All Chapters of Fated To My Bully Alpha : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

GraceExhaustion tugged at Grace's limbs. The last few weeks of ten-hour shifts at Utah Valley Hospital were beginning to affect her. But that wasn't the end of her day. No, in a way, she felt like her second shift began the moment she set foot through the door of the second-story apartment she called home."How was he?" she asked the babysitter none too enthusiastically. She could already tell by the look on the sitter's face that it hadn't gone well.For eight long years, Grace and her son Blake had been fine on their own. Blake had the same sitter for all that time. Then, the last two years changed everything. They had been through more sitters than she cared to count."E-everything was fine until I asked him to get ready for bed," the woman said. The terror in her eyes told Grace she was lucky to find her still at the apartment.The way the young woman clutched to her forearm made Grace nervous. "What happened? Are you hurt?" She didn't even need to see the still-bleeding scratche

GraceGrace was only half-relieved when she made it to her adopted mother’s front door in Black Diamond without incident. The small house at the edge of Black Diamond, nestled into the trees that grew around the base of the nearest mountain, almost looked lonely compared to the apartment buildings and townhouses she had been used to renting for so long.Driving through town was the least of her worries; the real trouble would come if anyone saw her unpacking the car. That was only one reason she had arrived as early in the day as possible. Werewolves had a habit of being night owls, and the fewer eyes around, the better.“I can’t even begin to tell you how glad I am to have you home at last!” Brenda exclaimed after she opened the front door and dragged Grace and Blake into the kitchen of the three-bedroom townhouse.Brenda embraced Grace for what might have been a few seconds or even an eternity. Grace hugged her back, inhaling the familiar scents of home. For several seconds, she all

GraceWhy couldn't she have just waited for her mother to pop into the grocery store? It wasn't like having no milk for your coffee was a dire emergency. But Grace had been back home a few days now and felt awkward for not pulling her weight around the house. Picking up milk and bread was the least she could do for her family.And why did she have to run right into the very last person she wished to bump into? The very first time she ventured from the house, no less.For the entire ten-minute walk home—which had become somewhat of a panicked run since her encounter—Grace could not rid herself of the warm, tingling sensation that covered her entire body. Nor could she rid herself of the heaviness in her heart at having seen Caspian after so long. He was her biggest reason for not returning to Black Diamond. He was the ghost haunting her everywhere she turned, and being back in the hollow only made that sensation ten times worse.His proximity, just knowing he was in town, was driving G

GraceIt had been several hours since Caspian's sudden visit to the house, and Grace was still reeling. Though she had wanted to leave immediately, she couldn't bring herself to do it after seeing him standing there on the porch. She told herself it was because she had never run from people's opinions of her, but deep down, she knew that wasn't entirely true. After all, she had been running with Blake ever since the day she had left Black Diamond.She sat on the couch in the den with her feet tucked under her and a glass of wine in hand. Mulling over her options and still shaking after Caspian's visit, she could only feel relieved that Blake had gone to bed easily.Lost in her thoughts, she barely noticed her mother's arrival in the room until she was about to sit on the couch beside her."Want to talk?" Brenda asked.Grace shook her head."Fine, then I shall. What was that all about on the porch earlier?"Grace cringed, cursing her mother's werewolf hearing."Nothing.""It didn't sou

Austin dipped his head, and Caspian could feel the man’s wolf submitting to him. “I understand, alpha. Forgive me. I simply didn’t think it important, what with Grace not truly being a wolf.”Caspian understood that reasoning. How could he not? He had spent all his childhood and teenage years reminding Grace that she wasn’t truly part of the pack. Yet another thing that made guilt claw at his insides.But then he said, “But the boy is a wolf.”Austin’s gaze whipped up to meet his again. “He’s just a boy. He’s no threat.”“Any wolf who enters my territory without my knowledge is a threat,” Caspian snapped. “Especially now with my security as alpha so uncertain, as you have pointed out to me many times.”Austin’s face fell slightly, and Caspian knew his friend understood. With a deep sigh, Caspian said, “Forget it. It is done now. As far as anyone needs to know, they are welcome.”Caspian simply didn’t have the strength to argue with his best friend anymore. He needed his second now mor
