All Chapters of WANTED; THE ALPHA’S HUMAN MATE: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

~Chapter Forty One~Elara’s POVMy heart couldn’t contain the joy when Kai asked me to dinner, just me and him, eating my favorite meal my mom used to make.In my hometown that was done when a boy asked a girl on a date.Almost happened once for me but I got ditched, he never showed up.This was a chance for me. Was he really serious about tomorrow? He seemed remorseful the moment he saw me break down and I hated that he saw that side of me.But maybe this dinner was his way of making up for things.When I had agreed to him, I didn’t expect him to want to leave me in a quiet room all night alone.My stomach dropped and sadness seemed to take over me again.“Why are you leaving?” I asked.“Because I've got work.” He glanced back at me. “But if you need me here tonight, just say the word.”My hands tightened on my dress, thinking over my chances.He’d stay if I asked him to?A glimpse of hope sparked within me.“I…” I stuttered as he held the doorknob. “I want you to stay here. I promi

~Chapter Forty Three~ ~Elara’s POV~ I took a step back. What was he doing here? There was a look of anger on his face that made me uneasy. “What are you doing here, Lucian?” “I should be asking you that,” he replied in a low voice. I folded my arms, my expression hardening. “I’m having dinner here, as you can see, Lucian. So I think you should leave.” He looked around the room, his gaze moving from the table to the candle before letting out a dry chuckle. The anger on his face slowly turned into amusement. “Dinner with Kai?” He laughed. “Looks like he stood you up.” No. He was coming. “Lucian, I don’t have time to talk to you right now. Please leave,” I said, breathing heavily, gesturing to the door. Not after everything he had said about how weak my judgment was without caring how I felt. He had shown no mercy to those men. He was even worse than I had thought. “Why?” He frowned. “What did I do?” “You’re not supposed to be here,” I replied, trying to

~Chapter Forty Five~~Kai’s POV~ She was human. She was never supposed to feel this strong. Doubt rose in me again, but each time I inhaled her scent, I reassured myself that Lucian had not dared lay a hand on her. She squirmed beneath me once more. “Can I get up now?” “No,” I admitted. “You’d have to stay this way a little longer for letting Lucian in the first place.” I wanted to do the exact opposite of letting her up. My wolf craved it. She opened her mouth to speak but I silenced her with my fingers. Silence took over as she stared at me with her brow raised. I wanted to fit my body to hers, flip her over the back of the couch and slide my hands further up her thighs than last night. Wanted to trail my fingertips from her neck, where the mate mark was, down to her neckline where it barely grazed the curve of her breast. Last night had gone further than I could control. When she touched the mark the first time my body ran cold, begging for her warmth. When she tried aga

~Chapter Forty Seven~~Elara’s POV~ “I will… try my best,” I said finally. She smiled widely. “Good.” She rose from her seat. “Your first assignment is to draft the list of everyone who will be invited. It should include every Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Council Member and honoured guest attending both the Rank Ceremony and the alliance celebration.” “Follow me.” She walked toward the door. “You’ll also note who may bring their mates, heirs, council escorts and household representatives. One missing name could be taken as an insult.” I stood up and followed her out of the study and down the hallway. My heart beat a little faster as I wondered where we were going. We climbed up a set of stone stairs into what looked like an extended storage room. Wine barrels occupied one side while wooden crates filled the other. At the far end was another door which Elizabeth pushed open with one hand. I had no choice but to follow her inside. We appeared to be in a record archive with metal racks

~Chapter Forty Nine~~Kai’s POV~ “Turn back,” I ordered my driver. “We’re going back to the pack. Now!” He sped down the road, understanding the urgency without another word. Within minutes, we arrived. I headed straight for Elara’s room, hoping to find her there this time. She was nowhere in the bedroom or bathroom. Not even a sign that she’d returned to the room. Where could she be? I immediately ordered the guards to search every chamber in the pack. They returned one after another with the same answer. “She’s nowhere to be found, Alpha.” “Elara…” I muttered under my breath, clenching my fists. “You can’t fucking do this. I’ll find you.” I turned to her personal guards. “You two were assigned to her. How did you let her out of your sight?” The guards bowed, shaking their heads. “We were dismissed along the hallway because Lady Elizabeth said they had private matters to handle alone.” “And you obeyed her orders over mine?” I growled, my jaw tightening. “Fetch me Aunt
