Running Mates Book Novels & Stories

I said, and Rick nodded as he walked to the center of the room and dropped into a chair. My fingers glide along the books as I read their titles. I pull one out, glance at the first few pages, and then slip it back into its place before continuing. “Hmmm,” I hummed as I squatted to see the books at the bottom. My fingers glide along the books, and my heart stops when I read one of the titles, “How to Reject a Mate and the Consequences that Follow.” Slowly, I pulled the book from its slot and flipped through a few pages.

Holding me captive in his intense gaze, King Vincent spoke softly, “Let bygones be bygones, Lizette. The start of a new relationship between two strangers is bound to be bumpy. So, don’t dwell in it.” Then he handed me a book with the title, ‘Interracial mating!’ “I have personally selected this book for your better understanding of our mate-bond, and for your questions.” He leaned in, a warm smile was toying on his cupid-shaped lips as he raised his brow. “We can talk about it over a nice meal. What do you think?”

she said, eyes bright, “you got here in time. The Mating Game Ceremony starts in two days.” I raised an eyebrow. “Mating Game?” She laughed, full and easy. “Not as ridiculous as it sounds, I promise. It’s three days for unmated wolves: bonfires, scent trials, challenge runs, and the Moonlight Dance. Think fate meeting festival.” My chest did a little flip. Hope showed up as a small electric thing. “So I might find him here?” Rainey waggled her eyebrows. “With how many unmated males are coming from the surrounding packs? I’d be surprised if you didn’t.”

“Stop joking, Grandfather.” Glen chuckled, his voice full of confidence. “How could Iris not choose me? Everyone in the pack knows she’s madly in love with me.” I forced myself to recover from the humiliation and lifted my head. Slowly and clearly, I declared, “You heard right. Ryan is the mate I’ve chosen.” The room instantly erupted into chaos. Then, as Glen’s smile froze in place, the hall fell deathly silent. Everyone stared at me in shock. My choice had left them dumbfounded.

At that moment, the mate mark on my ring finger burned with piercing pain, as if it were being scorched. Sherry suddenly walked over to me, holding a glass of blood wine. Her scent was soft and delicate, but her eyes shone with undisguised triumph. "Nadine, I know you've had inappropriate thoughts about Ian. But we are fated for each other. Ian and I will probably form a mate bond very soon. I hope you'll know your place and stop coveting something that doesn't belong to you." She raised her glass and lightly clinked it against mine. "I'll drink first."

I’m binding Kaia to me, and she is going to officially take her place as my Luna. I looked at the pack members that have joined, and I see Rodrigo and Sheri. They have their mate marks. So they completed the bond. I guess Rodrigo is happy now with his mate. It seems like he forgot all about Sinclair. That’s what happens with the mate bond, though. The rest of the world fades away, and all you see is your mate.

I was mentally rambling because voicing it would probably either insult or worry my mates. Mates a word werewolves use to describe their significant other. Would we marry now or just title each other as SO. I understood so little of this new world I was in right now. I had three mates and got pregnant after our first sexual encounter. I brought my teenage kids into this and fear of their reaction sent fear through me. What if my girls ran cause lets face it this was a shit ton to process. All three Cooper men were watching me as I took it all in. The doctor snuck out because he thought we were gonna have sex or fight.

I knocked twice and waited for a response. "Come in" I heard from inside. I opened the door slightly and dropped the coffee carefully on the table. "Here's your coffee sir," I said. There was no response. "So you have a meeting with Movita LTD by 10am and the presentation with Mr Lucas by 11am" "What about the venue?" He asked "It's within the same vicinity,sir." I answered. "Alright, you can go." I turned to leave but he called out. "Luna."

"Do you remember his name? Well, if it's not indiscreet." "Hmm 'Sullivan' something like that, but I can check in the register if you want." Derrick proposed "No need, thank you." So Nate had been here. I looked at the book in question and the title immediately sharpened my curiosity. 'The Wolves of Newcastle.' "An old book. The author tells inside his experience with a pack of wolves. But we never really knew which category to classify his book." He said "And why is that?" Leafing through the document "Several years after the book was published, he confessed in a conference that this work was based on real events. That nothing was fictional. He had said, I quote, 'They are among us, taking

she explained, picking the book up. “So I’ll look into the unbinding if you want to check that book about our mate bond.” she suggested. “Divide and conquer. An excellent strategy.” I nodded, picking up the mate book. I sighed, settling into the sofa starting to flip through the pages. This book was impressive. Not just the magic but the amount of research and effort that went into finding all this.
