Semua Bab Some Mate You Are...: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Marvel HalaI didn’t know what to say. If I opened my mouth to speak, even with the best of intentions, who knows what I may end up saying. He could deem anything an insult at any given time, and I wasn’t eager to receive another shock from my collar. I thought it best to simply bite my tongue and nod my head.I started to clean myself as he watched. His unwavering gaze made me feel filthier than I had before the shower.Every now and then, Harm would make a comment, praising me for a thorough job. At one point, as I dared to glance in his direction, I could see him touching himself as he ogled me, and I had to fight back the urge to shudder in disgust.Thankfully, when my shower was done, he simply stood back and handed me a towel along with the skimpiest piece of lingerie that I’d worn yet. Basically a sheer bra with a matching thong and skirt, which hardly fit the definition.Then things went semi-back to normal as I was instructed to make dinner like usual. I did as he asked and w

Marvel HalaI clung to my father, my sobs ringing through the air in a piercing wail. I’d never felt more relieved to be wrapped in his arms. It reminded me of when I was a tiny pup, and I wished for him to carry me everywhere. He’d always been the one I ran to when I was scared. The one who made the monsters go away.It was the kind of comfort that only a parent could give.I could hear the snarling and gnashing of teeth behind me. But I didn’t care to watch. I knew Enzo well. And after spending so much time together, I knew Harm fairly well also.I did not doubt that Enzo would best him. Once he forced him to submit, Harm would be taken into custody and made to pay for his crimes.Or so I thought…Instead, I heard the sickening crunch of bones as one of the wolves howled in excruciating torment. I looked up just in time to see Enzo as he held Harm to the ground. His chestnut fur, glistening and matted with the crimson shade of fresh blood. A wild look in his eyes.Alpha Harm let out

Marvel HalaMy head was a mess, and I really didn’t know what to think anymore. Harm’s words still rang in my ears. And Enzo’s voice from the recording still played on a loop in my mind.I knew Aida wouldn’t lie to me. She was my best friend. But what if she simply hadn’t known better? I was desperate for an answer but didn’t trust the one I was getting. Maybe Harm had done more damage than I’d realized.Word spread quickly throughout the pack that I no longer trusted Enzo.Either Aida had slipped to someone. Or the fact that we remained separated despite my return could’ve tipped people off to a problem. Not that it really mattered how or why. All that mattered was that everyone now knew.Before I was aware of what happened, the visitors I received each day began regaling me with stories of how Enzo searched for me. How distraught he’d been by my absence. How he’d worked tirelessly to find me.Kiara came. Daray came. Tyrus came. My father came. And my mother, who’d never been Enzo’s

Marvel HalaDraped across the bed. Stacked on top of tables. Pinned along the walls. Maps upon maps.Charts of every nearby territory, hundreds or even thousands of miles. Small red x’s dotted across many of them. My jaw dropped open as my eyes danced around the space.What does this mean?“He slept in the room you shared so he could smell your scent on the sheets. But he didn’t want to clutter it with a mess because he wanted to keep it how you left it. So, he spent most of his waking hours in here or the alpha’s office,” she clarified as she watched me. “He never stopped looking, and I don’t think he ever would’ve. Not ever.”I turned to face her as she continued to speak. I could hear that cracking in her voice, and her eyes filled with unshed tears.“He was so broken. So determined. Obsessed. He barely ate. Barely slept. And when I did finally convince him to rest, it was always so short-lived and…” she paused, uncertain if she should continue. “He’d cry in his sleep. Whimpering a

Marvel HalaI placed my hands on either side of his face, bidding him to look into my eyes. He opened them, searched my face to see if I was merely spinning a tale or if I truly meant it. Once he was certain I was speaking the truth, I could see the relief wash over him instantly.“That night…” I began, taking in a deep breath before continuing. “He was about to do it for the first time. He hadn’t tried before because he wanted to believe I was doing it because I wanted to – that he’d somehow convinced me to love him.“So he’d given me time before losing his patience and deciding it was time to force himself on me. But…just as he was about to start, you all came. You came, and you rescued me. You kept it from happening.”Tears formed in his eyes. A sight I knew I would rarely get to see.“This whole time…I’ve thought…” he breathed, unable to finish the thought.“No,” I again asserted, as I felt the pain in my chest – Enzo’s pain – finally beginning to lift.For several moments, we sat
