All Chapters of Mated to the Alpha: The Virgin’s Fate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Caleb entered their bedroom and sat on the king-sized bed. He watched her fold some clothes into a small suitcase.“I wanted to plan our wedding, not run to the other side of the world from you,” she said, not turning around.“It’s not the other side of the world, baby. It’s just the next town.”“And I know how far that is, Caleb. This just seems so unnecessary. Your house is secure. There’s a lock on the door. Can’t you call the police if it’s so bad?”He smiled to himself then patted the bed. She sighed and sat beside him.“Nobody knows about shifters. No humans. You’re one of us now, so you can’t be sharing what you know with the world. It would be dangerous, to say the least.”“So, no police?”“We have to handle everything ourselves. It’s never usually an issue for us. This is a unique situation,” he said.“And Joe’s involved?”“Well, your boss is a bear, and the guy we’re after is a bear, so he’s going to help. The only reason I’m making it my problem is because the rogue bear ha

What’s wrong?” Joe asked.“The hotel hasn’t called.” Caleb ran a hand down his face, glancing at the time. They were deep in the forest and the scents of the rogue bear had been diminishing all day. He didn’t like this.A few hours ago, fear had flooded his entire body. It had been so strong that his wolf had been close to the surface, ready to fucking kill. He’d gained control, but now, as he stared out across the night, only sensing sweet little creatures like rabbits or dear, he had a bad feeling.“Your rogue bear, at any time he chooses, can he mimic people?” he asked.“What do you mean?”“I assumed he was crazy and couldn’t control being both the bear and the human.” Caleb looked around the forest. “He’s not here.”“No, he hasn’t been here for a while.”“Why the fuck didn’t you say anything?” He was struggling not to kill this son of a bitch.“What did you want me to say?”“I don’t know. Maybe the guy we were about to hunt wasn’t even in the fucking woods.” He growled, running ba

This man was horrid. If what he spoke was true, then women were starving and trapped somewhere.“Anyway, don’t you worry, they can get away at any time. They’re weak and chained up, but they can still get out. I made sure of that. Their bears can help them to escape. All they’ve got to do is chew through their own flesh, and they’re free. No arms, no cuffs.”“You’re a monster,” she said.He laughed. “No. You see, if I were a monster, I wouldn’t have given them an incentive. I left a nice clean bucket of water for them. Of course, if they make it from the blood loss, then they are strong. I’m giving them a chance to learn who they are. There’s no way I can be deemed a monster.”Tears filled her eyes. The way he described it, she couldn’t imagine experiencing that kind of torture. She hoped he was delusional and those were all lies.“Anyway, enough of those sluts. I had to do that. They were all making me weak. I’m not weak. Their men weren’t good enough, and all they had was me. I’m a

“Try to keep up,” he said to his men. “We’ll go on ahead.” He nodded to Joe, and they both leaped forward, seamlessly shifting into their beasts. Caleb took the lead this time, only going on instinct and following the route the rogue had taken. Adrenaline pumped wildly through his veins, his muscles working in overdrive as he plowed his large wolf body through the underbrush.He imagined Bethany’s fragile skin being subjected to the rough terrain. If he got her back, he’d never let her out of his sight again. His precious female was going through hell. New scents began to filter into his senses as they put miles between them and the waterfall. This wasn’t his territory and he found markers that the land was already claimed by rival wolves. He didn’t heed the warnings, not now, not when Bethany’s life was in danger.The powerful scent of blood wafted toward them and he bolted to a stop. There was blood, a lot of damn blood. It wasn’t Bethany’s or the rogue’s. They spread out and exami

He understood now why Joe and the men had no choice but to leave. There was no way to survive against this monstrosity. He could only keep on attacking, hoping to tire the bear.What he needed to do was tear his heart out, but he’d seen the bear was very protective of his chest. If he could get around to the back, maybe he could plunge his hand inside, and pull the heart out. Without a heart, he couldn’t change, he couldn’t do anything.Their wolf or bear, their animal was part of them, and the only way to kill them for real was to take that one function.“Are you done?” the rogue asked. “I can keep on going. Come on.I’m ready. I’m more than ready.”Caleb got to his feet again. “And so am I!”He changed again, and this time, just as he was about to pounce, his packmates charged through the woods, and he was shocked to see his woman coming toward the edge of the trees.What the fuck was she doing in the open? She was supposed to be kept safe. Not helping here.“Sorry, Alpha.” Reese’s
