All Chapters of Mate To The Tyrants : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

"Oh, stop being so dramatic," I said, rolling my eyes. "Ronan isn’t going to kill you over something like that."If anything, Ronan would probably be more concerned about Gus trespassing after discovering that I had failed to tell him about the rogue’s presence in Nightreign territory. A rogue was still a rogue, regardless of whether he was a werewolf. Gus could have been working for an enemy pack, and Ronan certainly wouldn’t overlook a possible threat to Nightreign."I’ll put in a good word for you if you can get me to that house in the woods and bring me back before sunset," I added."You really are trying to get me killed, aren’t you?" Gus asked miserably. "If we’re going to make it back in time, I’ll have to drive like we’re in a race. And unfortunately, I own a pickup truck, not some ridiculously fast Ferrari.""Then we should get moving," I replied, taking hold of his arm. His skin felt oddly cold beneath my fingers. I figured the revelation that I was Ronan’s fated mate had sh

"Can I try?" Gus asked, hopeful. "If I get it open and you do not want it, can I keep it? It looks like it would sell for a decent amount." "Is money all you think about?" I asked. "This is an urn. What if it is full of ashes?" "Mostly, along with beautiful women who are not you," Gus said, grinning. "And ashes can be thrown out." I rolled my eyes at how quickly everything turned into profit with him. "Go ahead," I said, and passed him the urn. He caught it in one hand. The other stayed on the wheel. He glanced at it and lifted a brow. "It really is an urn." He winced, then tried to work the lid loose with one hand and got nowhere. I narrowed my eyes. Gus was handling silver far too easily for a werewolf. Lydia could not touch silver without welts rising on her skin, yet he held this urn as if it were wood. That only held if the thing was

Kaela, why are you so angry?" Nicole asked, confused. I never got the chance to explain. A low, rough groan came from the bed. Blaise was stirring, his eyes hazy with exhaustion and pain. I had not kept my emotions in check. I might have woken him when he was supposed to be resting. "Blaise, you are awake." I rushed to his side and touched his face. He was far too warm. He was running a fever. "Nicole, why is he hot?" Blaise managed a smirk. His voice scraped. "I know. I was born this way." I gave him a look. This was not the moment for jokes. Nicole hurried over, clicked her tongue, and pushed a mouthful of herbs between his teeth as if he were livestock. He was clearly used to her methods. He chewed without argument and stared up at me, blinking slowly, as if he could not quite believe who he was seeing. "You are back," he said through the herbs. "What upse

  "Of course not. I went with you for the same reason you came to Everhaven. It was better than sitting in Nightreign and doing nothing for Blaise." The words came out hot. "Any plan I had to run ended the moment I was mated to Blaise. When Doctor Thomas introduced me to him, I was shocked." I would never leave Blaise, and Blaise would never leave Nightreign. Now that I was Ronan's fated mate as well, leaving them was even less possible, unless Ronan decided to throw me out of the pack. Once he had the whole truth, he just might. "Does this mysterious vampire rogue have a name?" Ronan snarled. "His name is Gus." I waited, then added what he clearly wanted. "Blond hair. Purple eyes." "Purple eyes, and you saw nothing strange in that?" He dragged a hand through his hair hard enough to nearly tear it. "How were you not suspicious? Purple is not a normal col

Elise scoffed. "You will regret those words, Kaela. Turning your back on your real family never ends well. Your mother proved that with her death. I hoped you might be smarter. The apple does not fall far from the tree. What a pity." I snarled. I wanted to throw myself at her, slam that smug face into the ground, and demand a real explanation. Ronan's broad back blocked her from view again. "Kaela, stop wasting time. Get in the car." He used his authority as my alpha. The order left me no choice. Anger hissed through me. I could not fight a direct command, no matter how badly I wanted to wring more out of Elise. I gave him one last look, a silent plea to be careful, then ran for the car and locked myself inside. I watched them with my breath held. He did not even wait until I was fully in before he shifted. Bone cracked loud as firecrackers against the old concrete walls of Everhaven.
