All Chapters of Mate's Revenge : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Wren's povThe elders just didn't want me to fail and lose my title, they wanted me to die. Well, I refuse to die, at least not today. I looked down into the chasm, it was so deep, I couldn't see the end. Overheard, the dark clouds continued to gather and the wind blew fiercer. I screamed in frustration.“I'm going to make sure every one of those blood thirsty elders get what's coming to them.” I yelled angrily. I had to be angry, the alternative was breaking down and allowing my panic to take over.The words from the letter I had gotten earlier flashed through my mind. The right way isn't the only way. We have to look for an alternative, I told Astrid.Way ahead of you, check out the rope. I'm thinking monkey bars but with a singular long rope instead. She said.The idea depended on how strong the rope was. I tugged on the rope which made up the railings of the bridge, it held fast. I tore the sleeves of my top and used it to bandage my hands, rope burns were a bitch to deal with.“

Wren's POVI watched Caelum as he slept, stroking his white curls every once in a while. He slept so soundly, just like a baby. I tapped his nose and giggled as he scrunched his nose in his sleep. He looked so adorable, who would ever believe the Crimson Alpha was this cute while he slept.His sleeping side was one of the sides I loved the best, he always looked vulnerable and free from worries. It was not like I never got to see him sleep, I mean we shared the same room, but most times he woke up before I did and came to bed after I did so I did not get to see him sleep so much. And even when he did, he was never completely vulnerable, it was like he was never free of the burden of being an alpha.I carded my hand through his soft silky hair and smoothened his curls, he stirred and leaned into my hands. His eyes moved beneath his eyelids but they didn't open.“Open those pretty eyes for me." I cooed and watched his violet eyes flutter open. His eyes were one of my favorite things a

My paws pounded the floor with silent thuds, I ran quietly, hoping to outrun the feeling of helplessness and panic that overtook me on the last challenge.I had become quite the celebrity as people were coming up to me either to congratulate or wish me luck or spit and curse in my face. It wasn't something I told my best friends or Caelum about though, I could handle bullying. Besides,they didn't know me so they couldn't hurt me.Caelum and I still hadn't talked about the whole incident since that day, not for lack of trying though, we were just so busy. Him with alpha duties and I, with my training. I could still feel his anger in the bond and the tension between us was high and it wasn't just the sexual kind.I had heard that he sent Soren after elder Samuel as a warning to all the other elders. It wasn't like Caelum was above the law, it's that there was one law that no wolf dared to break. And it was that if any wolf hurts another's mate, he is given whatever punishment the mate o

Wren's POVI told Caelum about the boots and the mysterious stranger that had come to drop it off, I told him about how I couldn't have gotten through the challenge without it.“Why are you just telling me now?" He paced the room, agitated."It skipped my mind.” I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly."You have to tell me this things as soon as they happen. I'm worried about who this person is and how he easily knows your whereabouts.” His eyebrows furrowed and his expression was troubled.“He hasn't done anything but help." I pointed out.He sighed and sat down besides me, “that's what I'm worried about, what does he want in return?"I looked into his eyes, "hey, we’ll figure it out when we get there and it's not like I can tell him to stop helping, I don't even know who he is. What if it's a she?!” I gasped playfully, he rolled his eyes."If you get anything like this again, promise me you'll tell me immediately.” His tone was serious."I promise. I’m sorry for always worrying you.”

Wren's POVA victorious laugh bubbled and spilled out of my mouth. Exhaustion forgotten, I raced towards the waterfall. There was a plastic shovel next to a large X drawn in the sand.“Well, X marks the spot." I mumbled as I got to work, digging a hole with the shovel. Little by little, I shoveled sand away until my shovel struck something. I discarded my shovel and used my hands to brush the sand away from the object.It was a picture frame, I blew air all over the surface to clear the dust and I rubbed my sleeves over it. My eyes widened in shock when I saw the people in the picture frame.It was my parents, they looked younger than the last time I saw them but I'd recognize those faces anywhere. I hadn't realized that I had started to forget what they looked like until I saw them again.My eyes watered and I let the tears fall. Just when I thought I had finally healed from their deaths, the fact that they were the bad people, the villains in the story, tore me apart once more.Thos
