Running Mates Book Novels & Stories

He rubbed my back in slow, soothing circles, his warm smile radiating comfort and reassurance. "You're okay now?" he asked softly, his eyes searching mine for any lingering traces of distress. I nodded vigorously, my cheeks still stained with tears. "I'm sorry I got so emotional. I just... I never thought..." I trailed off, my voice choked with emotion. "It's okay," Ryan murmured, his hand still on my back. "I couldn't read through all the messages," he said, turning his attention to the screen. "What does it say?" I sniffled and wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. "I've been shortlisted. I'll be participating in a government vote," I explained, my voice shaky. "Will you come with me?"

Dana said. "This is Marcus Westwood, he gets what he wants. I don't think family dynamics will stop him and besides, with eveeything I’ve seen tonight, I think you two could be mates…. If you are then no one can do anything." Maddie said firmly looking into her friend's face. "I Know... but I'm not that lucky for him to be my mate.." Dana said quietly, making Maddie look at her. "If anyone deserves to get the mate they want, it's you. Heck if the moon goddess doesn't pair you two, I'd like to take it up with her!"

This is the AU version of Winter's Mate: Fated On Ice without the werewolf element! And it's book 3 of the Keepers Series—the other couples from books 1 and 2 will definitely make a cameo. I hope you like this book as much as I enjoy writing it :) I've been meaning to write a chaotic FMC, so this is it. *** 1 Rosie “You bloody cheating bastard!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, gripping Mia’s little hand tightly for support as I swallowed hard to hide my sheer nervousness.

She was breathing terribly hard, her chest heaving as she tried to force air into her lungs. "Rowina?" I asked, my hand still raised to keep the wall of fire roaring around the Elders. "What is it? What's wrong?" Rowina swallowed hard, desperately catching her breath again. She clumsily opened the book to a heavily creased page and pointed a trembling finger at the text. "I was... I was reading this specific history text on wolf mating. It was among the extra books you brought aside to read." She paused for a long moment, most definitely doing it for dramatic effect, before she continued in a loud, clear voice. "It says right here that there was actually a wolf once who mated a wolf-mage!"

She licked her lips. "Hmm, who does not know the Alpha of this pack." She said and I looked at her with scrutiny. Really? Who does not? She is fishy. * * This book is weird 😂... I don't even understand what is going on with Connor and Alyssa.

And I don't fail to notice that there is no title written on it, so I'm starting to think he's trying to prank me or something. "I'm not joking, Calhoun," Bruce breathes out, as if reading my thoughts, "Every word written in this book is true, people do have two mates at times and they're torn in between choosing one. Most times, your first mate isn't good enough for you anymore and so the moon goddess brings the second, to create a better future for you," Bruce finally puts the book on the table and starts flipping through it. "It's not real, Bruce. Some psycho probably wrote it to mess up with people's minds," I try to wave this off, clearly uninterested.

He reached into his drawer and produced a book for them. "You will read this *The First Mate* " He told them and they looked at him in surprise. " This is a 1000 paged book, telling the tale of the first humans to be mated to a wolf. Summarize it for me, and practice everything you see in there. " He said. " I must see changes, or else I'll cut down your allowance to a quarter." He threatened. He hoped this works, to keep them at bay for the mean time.

Artemis roared. “Oh I see you’ve decided to join me again after your little outburst in the car” I snickered back to my wolf. Artemis growled, “She’s ours.” “Artemis is she our….mate? Do we get a second chance?” I asked him shakily in my mind. I couldn’t help but feel my palms start to sweat and a small excitement grew inside me. Second-chance mates are very rare in our world and I have already lost my first fated mate in a cruel and twisted turn of fate.

A wind suddenly blew through the open window and it flicked Jeremiah silky black hair. Engram was starring at his new friend and unconsciously murmured, “So beautiful…” Jeremiah aghast, “I-I beg your pardon…” “The room…” the prince spontaneously added, “you were right, the room is beautiful, Jeremiah. Because it was used for a matchmaking party, and people from all over Wolftopia came to find their soulmates here,” Engram explained as he tried so hard to hide his nervousness. “Have you’ve been to one before?” Jeremiah asked with a teasing tone.

Zayden As soon as I got done showering, I hurried and dried my body and hair, put on my clothes and walk out the door. I see my little mate sitting in the chair I left her in but with a book in hand. I slowly walk over to her and lean on the back of the chair. I notice she is reading my favorite book. Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. “How do you like it so far?” I startled her apparently as she jumped as soon as I asked the question.
