All Chapters of WANTED; THE ALPHA’S HUMAN MATE: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

~Chapter Sixty One~Kai’s POV The moment I stepped out of the alliance meeting, the cold hit me again.It wasn’t the weather.It started from somewhere deep inside my chest and spread through my body until my hands felt colder than they should.I clenched my jaw and kept walking through the corridor, ignoring the strange restlessness from my wolf crawling beneath my skin.This was the third time it had happened in two days.Every time I stayed away from the pack house for too long, the same cold came.I exhaled deeply.Was this because of the mark that only responded to Elara’s touch?Ever since it had glowed beneath her hand for the first time, I hadn’t felt the same.I had noticed it was becoming more frequent. Anytime I wasn’t around her for too long, even without her touch, I would feel empty and cold in a way that only her presence could ease.At first, I tried to explain it away. If Elara was my mate, then maybe the mark reacting to her touch had been inevitable. Maybe it was

~Chapter Sixty Three~Elara’s POVI blinked slowly, still trapped between sleep and being fully awake.The first thing I felt was warmth and strong arms holding me securely against a broad chest.Before I fully realized it was Kai.My cheek was pressed against his shirt, and I could hear the steady thud of his heartbeat beneath my ear. For a second I forgot where I was. Then I remembered the office, the ceremony records, and the fact that I had apparently fallen asleep while working. Heat rushed to my face. I was being carried away from the office, almost all the way to our bedroom. “Oh no,” I muttered, trying to straighten up. Kai’s grip tightened around me when I tried to move. “Easy,” he said calmly. “You almost slipped out of my hands trying to do that.” “Did you carry me all the way from the office?” I asked, horrified. “You were asleep on the records,” he replied. “What was I supposed to do, leave you there until morning?” I buried my face in my hands for a second. “Thi

~Chapter Sixty Five~Elara’s POVThe night of the rank ceremony came quickly.I had spent the last two days planning everything almost perfectly with the help of Nala, the external maids, and two event planners. My dinner was nothing more than a cold plate delivered by the kitchen whenever I remembered to ask for it. I usually ate alone while working.I had no idea what Kai had been up to because we hadn’t had the chance to talk since the night he carried me from the office.He had worked all night and then slept beside me after I had already fallen asleep. I would wake up to find only the other side of the bed carrying the scent of his cologne, with no sign of him anywhere.I understood that he was probably occupied with the alliance meetings, and he had done it.Kelvin had submitted the final report along with a fresh list of requirements because the alliance had been declared a success.It was going to be a combined celebration.To be honest, I felt proud that my idea had actually

~Chapter Sixty Seven~Kai’s POVThen I glanced at Elara, who was impossible to ignore with how beautiful she looked, before standing and walking toward the stage, ready to announce the promoted members.I cleared my throat before speaking. “I invite Beta Kelvin to join me on stage as one of the award presenters.”Kelvin walked forward as the hall erupted into applause.The first group on the list was the patrol guards. I had personally approved the promotion of the patrol leader and the three guards who survived the attack for their service and sacrifice.I called up the three chosen guards, including the patrol leader I had spoken to earlier.As they stepped forward, applause echoed through the hall.“These patrol members survived the attack at the boundary,” I said, looking around the crowd. “Today they are being honored for standing their ground and defending their fellow wolves during a time of crisis. For that, they are hereby promoted to Senior Patrol Guards.”I called each of t

~Chapter Sixty Nine~ Elara’s POV It’s okay,” I said, gathering the courage to move closer to him even though I was still shaking. The wolf’s breathing became faster as it turned toward me. I flinched and covered my face just as it sneezed right in my face. When I opened my eyes, Kai was standing where the wolf had been, completely naked. “Oh God!” I gasped and immediately turned around. He was huge in every aspect of his body. A moment ago, I had been staring at a monster. What the hell just happened? “Get me the pack doctor,” he said in a low voice. I swallowed and nodded, but I didn’t leave immediately. His voice didn’t sound good. “Are you okay?” I asked. “Go, Elara!” he snapped, and I hurried off to find help. Thankfully, the pack doctor wasn’t hard to find. He was standing with a group of men, laughing and drinking I interrupted them and whispered, “Kai needs you.” Concern flashed across his face as he quickly excused himself and followed me. “Do I need my kit?”
