Mates Books Novels & Stories

Shielding my head from the fall but fortunately, it fell to my side. Thudding against the floor. Loud. Echoing through the empty aisles. I gazed down at the brown covered book. Dusty. Ancient. I wiped it clean, leaned to place it back but just then. My gaze fell on the title. Ashes Of The Sacred Bond: The Extinction Of Mates. My breath hitched. Mates.

“You allowed two gay men to take the positions of Gamma and Delta of your pack?” “If it is the Goddesses will, who am I to second guess it?” Zak’s voice is low and steady. Nothing about his posture or tone shows the immense anger that he feels towards Mathias, though I can feel it rolling through the mate bond. Mathias looks at Zak and does a double take when he sees Zak’s neck. “You...you have two matemarks…” “I have two mates,” Zak says, his hands going behind his back, reaching for us. Charlie and I walk to him, interlacing our fingers with his.

“You’re nothing but a spineless, despicable and shameless person. Is this it? What you wanted?“ I asked, disgust laid in my voice. She smiled pushed her hair backwards, standing straight, smiling cockily at me, her cheeks red with the imprint of my palms. “Yes, yes, yes. I’m all of that! I’m disgusting and a vile person. I know it all. It doesn’t take away the fact that Matthew is mine and not hers so why should I leave him for her? She stole him from me. I waited all my life for my mate and what did I get in return? What did I get? He was already mated to some sad excuse of a wolf. His father-“

“Explain.” I take a breath. “It felt like… relief, like it was tired of waiting for someone to decide.” Aiden mutters, “That’s not ominous at all.” “I didn’t feel trapped,” I say. “I felt… taller.” Mama’s face changes at that. Not fear but recognition. Papa notices. “You’ve felt this before.” She nods once. “Long ago.” Aiden looks between them. “I hate when you do that.” Mama looks back at me. “Did it show you anything else?”

she said, her tone transforming into that of a childlike, laced with emotional blackmail. Her drastic change in tone made me chuckle again. It wasn't the first time; she wouldn't stop talking about it. After my chuckle had boiled down, I answered calmly, "I have a mate already, and you know that." My words were wrapped with chuckles. She shook her head fervently at my words, "No, no." Her voice came almost immediately, "You don't have a mate. You can't call Lena your mate. That lady is ruthless, heartless, and vile," she said with a firm voice, her voice wrapped with determination.

“That’s strange,” I heard the werewolf mumble. “It’s not fading” Fading? “Is it supposed to fade?” “Yes,” he turned to me with a suddenly ominous smile. “Dylan Hayes is dying after all” My heart started pounding on my chest as his words continued to echo in my mind. Then, I remembered the dream that I had that just felt so real. Maybe it was real. Do mates even have the ability to communicate through dreams? But even so, I’m human. It can’t be.

“Mathew isn’t a kid, reign in your anger. He will be fine after mating.” “I am not sick, Mom. I like boys and there is nothing wrong with it.” Unable to conceal his emotions, Mathew raised his voice in front of his parents. “I have tried to explain it to you before, but it’s like searching for a black cat in a coal mine.” “Smack!” The sting of Mason’s slap burned Mathew’s right cheek. “Male and female mate and produce a child, this is nature. But what you are doing is unnatural, Mathew. You are angering Heaven with your sins.”
