Semua Bab Mated to the Alpha: The Virgin’s Fate: Bab 1 - Bab 10

It really shouldn’t be this hard to find him a woman,” Reese said.“Seriously? The guy would rather spend an entire day chopping wood than go looking for one,” David replied.“We’ve got to do something. It’s not right for a man to be alone like that. How can he not want a woman he can love, build a life with—maybe even start a family? I know I do,” Brian added.Caleb overheard his pack talking and understood their frustration. As alpha, the ancient wolf laws meant he had to find his mate first. Only then could the rest of the pack discover their own destined partners. Until that happened, no one could start families. And to wolves, having heirs meant everything. The desire to find love and have children was natural for his men. He didn’t blame them.There was a time Caleb longed for the same things. But now? He just wanted to split logs and stay away from the myths and promises of fate. He had recently turned forty. If a mate was meant for him, wouldn’t she have shown up by now? The i

Bethany felt a little awkward. “Well, it was really nice meeting you.”“It was nice meeting you too, Bethany,” Caleb replied warmly. “Do you plan on staying in town long?”“I hope so. I’m looking to settle down here—at least, that’s the plan.”“What about family?” one of his friends asked.“No, it’s just me,” she said, then instantly regretted her honesty. Why was she spilling her life story to strangers—especially ones she barely knew? She refocused her attention on Caleb. There was something about him that put her at ease, even if he was almost intimidatingly handsome. Strong, quiet, but not threatening. He made her feel... safe.“It was really nice to meet you,” she said again, just to prolong their conversation.She offered her hand, and he took it. The warmth of his touch lingered, and for a moment, neither of them wanted to let go.“I hope I see you again,” she said softly.“You will,” Caleb said, his voice steady. “You can count on that.”His friends got up from the booth, gath

“From the short time she’s worked here, I can tell you—Bethany’s built walls of steel around herself,” Joe said, leaning back with a smirk. “That girl’s been through hell, and she’s not the kind to fall into your bed just because you look at her twice, wolf.”“I don’t care about bear politics,” Caleb said flatly. “And I’m not here to use her. I’m not some wild animal chasing a thrill.” He added a wink, but it lacked humor.Bethany wasn’t some passing fling. Caleb wanted to claim her—make her his mate for life. She was more than just a woman. She was the future of his pack. Without her, his entire family of wolves would be left in limbo—alone and unable to build their lives.Joe leaned forward, his voice low and smug. “Unless you plan on leaving town and disappearing for good, I’ll be seeing more of that curvy little waitress. You catch those tits?”Caleb’s fist connected with Joe’s jaw before the words had fully left his mouth. The bear stumbled back, slamming into the wall with a gru

Reese pulled out a pristine white shirt. The kind he didn’t like to wear as they stained way too easily.“I’m not wearing that.”“You want to make a good first impression? This is it,” Reese said. “No woman wants a slob.”“I’m going to look too obvious in this.”“Dude, you’re not just doing this for yourself but for the good of the entire pack. Not all of us want to be eligible bachelors for the rest of our lives. Look at me. I want a wife, kids, and I want to be happy,” David said.“You’re trying to tell me you’re not happy?”“No, I could definitely be happier.” David swatted at some lint on the shoulder of his shirt.“Boys, back off. I can do this,” Caleb said. He wasn’t chasing after this woman because of his pack. She was his mate and he couldn’t let this opportunity pass.“So you know that you’re always supposed to be nice,” Reese said. “Don’t treat her like you treat us.”“Compliment her hair. Not her ass. A woman’s ass never looks big.Never. You have to remember that,” Brian

He’d salvaged the night. In the beginning, he swore he’d fucked it up every time he opened his mouth. Then he sensed it … her desire. His wolf howled within as her pheromones perfumed the air. It took every ounce of his self-control to play the part of a human gentleman when her body called out to him.Caleb prided himself on his good behavior during the night.Overall, the date had gone well after the initial awkwardness had worn off. Now it was time for date number two … or three. She’d agreed to let him show her the sunset and full moon tonight. He just hoped he could keep his wolf in check with the strength of the full moon and the mating call both conspiring against him.“No details?” asked Reese.He’d barely slept all night after his date. He couldn’t stop thinking about Bethany—her scent, her kiss, the way she felt in his arms. “You’re the one to tell me a gentleman never tells.”“We all know you’re no gentleman, Caleb. The date obviously went well if she wants to see you ag
