All Chapters of The Last Alpha’s Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

FENRIRI looked at myself in the mirror one more time and then I went back out to the counter.The man was still reading, but he looked more tense than the time I saw him."I need money," I said. "Whatever you can spare. I'll give you my name and a way to reach me when I'm settled and I'll return it.”He looked up properly this time, taking me in without hurrying. "You're bleeding through that shirt," he said."I know.""That a bullet wound on your shoulder?""Yes."He was quiet for a moment. Then he opened the drawer beside him and took out some notes and put them on the counter between us without counting them first. "I don't need your name," he said. "Just don't die on my road."I blinked. Oh? He didn't see me as a thief or something? And here I was bracing for an attack. "I won't," I said, and picked up the money. "Thank you."He went back to his paper. "There's a bus stop two kilometres east if you're going anywhere."I wasn't going anywhere a bus could take me. But I said nothin

FENRIR“Damon!” I called out again, my voice rougher this time.He rushed back into the room within seconds. His eyes went straight to my shoulder. “You’re still bleeding?”“You think?” I gritted out through my teeth, pressing harder on the dressing. Blood was already soaking through the cloth and running down my arm. “It will not stop. Do something.”Linda appeared behind him, carrying a bowl of water and clean towels. Her face was pale but she moved quickly. “Let me help. We need to clean it again.”Damon took the towels from her and knelt beside the bed. “This is bad. The bullet tore through more than I thought. You have lost too much blood already. I need to stitch it, but you are still bleeding heavily. You might need a transfusion.”I shook my head. “No hospitals. Just fix it here.”He looked at me like I was crazy. “I don’t have blood here, Fenrir. You are losing too much. If I stitch now without stopping the bleeding first, you could still bleed out.”“Then find a way,” I said

FENRIRA simple life felt possible.During my stay here, I could find real work…maybe construction or security. And in case my wolf comes back, such a job would hide my strength without drawing too much attention.__________I was carrying tools back to the basement one afternoon when I heard familiar voices behind me. For a second, I thought it was Mr. Tone, one of the construction managers I had begged last week for a position at the company.Mr. Tone had noticed I could carry things heavier than what an average man could handle, so he promised to find me a position somewhere.Now, here I was, storing the day’s equipment so nothing would get stolen. After that, I would repair other things, just like I had been taught these past few days.“Wolf!”I froze. Wolf? I never told anyone about that. And the people who knew, I’d already left them behind, miles away from this town.I turned around slowly to find Damon and Linda standing at the entrance of the building. My heart thudded as I t

ELARAI blinked hard again, trying to shove the dizziness away. “Wait, hold up. You’re telling me all this mate bond stuff, this ancient werewolf history in your dusty files… but I saw him, Kate. With my own eyes. He looked human. Completely human without glowing eyes, claws, or ‘I’m about to shift and eat the moon’ vibes. So explain that to me, science lady, because my brain is doing cartwheels right now.”Kate leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms. “Elara, I already told you. The wolf doesn’t just vanish. Even if he appears human…”“No, no, no. Don’t give me the textbook answer.” I pulled another folder closer and flipped it open like I actually knew what I was doing. “Look at this page. It says ‘partial suppression under extreme stress or wolfsbane exposure.’ So question one: how partial are we talking? Could he walk around looking like a regular hot guy who throws women into rivers while his inner wolf is just… napping?”Kate sighed but answered. “The suppression isn’t perm

ELARAI laughed in disbelief, holding my stomach. “An alpha? Come on, Kate. You’re telling me I’m growing a furry little moon-howler in here? Next you’ll say it’ll come out with tiny claws and a built-in GPS for its daddy.”God, that was funny. How was that even possible?Kate didn't look impressed. “You know, for a scientist… you are pretty disbelieving.” I paused. “Wait, you are for real?”“Yeah.” Her face wore a frown as she pulled me back toward the basement. “Sit. I’ll show you exactly what I mean. No more guessing.”No… I took a deep breath. We were going back into that place again through the stairs.My legs still felt weak, but the nausea had settled into a dull ache. Kate dug through the shelves again, pulling out more folders and a thick leather journal.“A journal again?” I eyed her hands carefully. “Listen,” she said, opening the journal. “Page 62 in this journal, holds a case from the 1800s. A human woman mated an alpha. She got pregnant after one night of bonding.”I r
