All Chapters of The Last Alpha’s Mate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

ELARADid she just say… ‘the same predicament?’I turned that over in my head twice… three times. "The same predicament," I repeated slowly.Kate nodded cautiously like she was watching something she wasn't sure was a dog or a wolf."They want me back too. I have information they can't afford to leave walking around outside those walls. So yes, Elara. Same predicament. And they wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Now can we please…""You were going to betray me.""I said I wasn't going to.""But you were.""Wait…""You. Were. Going. To."Kate pressed two fingers to the bridge of her nose. "I just told you I changed my mind. That is the definition of not doing the thing."I looked at her, at the door, then back at her. My eyes landed on the stack of thick medical journals beside me on the table. Perfect. My hand moved before my brain approved it and I grabbed the top one and threw it at her fucking face. But it was a fucking heavy book. It hit the wall two inches to the left of

ELARAKate watched me drink the water with that weird expression still sitting on her face. It looked like an apology… Okay. I wasn't very impressed with that look because it just showed that she pitied me."Say whatever you're building up to," I said, handing the empty glass back.She set it down and took a breath. "I need to stay with you for now. I promise, it won't be permanent.”I raised an eyebrow. “Then let me go “She shook her head. “I can let you go, Elara. But I don't want to for your safety. I'm not even trying to insert myself into your life or because I have some agenda you don't know about. I need to stay with you because you are carrying a shifter child and you don't have anyone else right now who understands what that means for your body. Seriously, that matters more to me than whether it makes you comfortable." She met my eyes sternly. "Once the baby is born and you're both okay, I can see that you have what you need and leave. That is also a promise. I won't ask

ELARA"Others," I repeated, giving her a dead look. Was she going to play the mysterious card on me now or what?Not knowing my thoughts, Kate nodded, trailing the edge of one journal page with her fingers. "Those are my deepest thoughts after irrefutable evidence. I mean, why else? Don't forget, they want to build an army.”I shuddered at that.She continued, frowning. “Imagine hunting all the werewolves down and using them as the government's special superheroes. That could mean war from the common man.”I shook my head. This was worse than I thought. “But… there might be only Fenrir for all I care.”“True. I also think that if there are more, they don't even know what they are yet. But if they exist, and the facility knows they exist, they will be hunted.” She tapped the page. “Fenrir is a lone Alpha and that's dangerous. An Alpha without a pack to belong is worse " She looked up at me. "That is something else entirely."I sat with that for a moment. My hand had drifted to my stoma

Elara:“I own this place and the building next to it. If you ask around, I am usually the first person to know everything and the last person to do anything about it.”I shook her hand. "You can call me Lisa." Okay. I just adopted Jane Doe's name so how the hell am I not freaking out?! What if she knew Cora? Would she call me fake, a spy or something? I resumed the smile on my face. “Or you can call me anything. I don't mind. But Lisa Mores is fine…”"Yeah, I am aware of your name already." Daisy said without smugness… just as a matter of fact. And I wasn't sure I appreciated it in such a tone.On the other hand, Kate had abandoned the refrigerator and was now standing at the end of the aisle watching me like I was an alien.I averted my gaze to the other side. Why the look? Didn't she tell me to blend in well? This was me blending in.Daisy looked at her. "And you are?"Shaking herself out of daze, Kate turned to look at Daisy with the specific attention she gave things she was st

ELARAThe pain crippled me a second time and my knees slammed to the floor. I gritted my teeth. This has to be the most painful…“Is someone there? This lady has collapsed!” I was on the floor and the nurse with the cart crouching beside me called for someone down the corridor."Get the Doctor!"I have to stop her. "No, don't." But my voice barely left my throat and nobody listened.The next wave hit and my back arched off the floor on its own. My hands scraped the tile. I heard myself make a sound that did not feel like it came from me, something like a deep groaning, and the overhead lights blurred at the edges.Then my body started shaking.My shoulders, my legs, and my jaw clamped down against the convulsions that were moving through me in waves I could not stop and could not predict.Someone slid something under my head while another was on the phone. I heard Dre's voice before I saw him run in frantically. He must have followed me out of the lab.The nurse rambled on and on. "S
