Mated to the Alpha CHAPTER THIRTY
I try not to let the fear control me as I stand in front of Jim. I know everyone here thinks I'm crazy. I know they'll all be looking down upon me. But their opinions don't matter. What matters is him. What matters is us and the intense connection we share. I can only hope that he'll see the truth. I'm not sure how to get Jim to see the truth, but I hope he'll at least hear me out. I hope he'll at least give me a chance.“In the past, I didn't believe you,” Jim says. “I didn't listen to your side of the story. I listened to Emily instead and accepted her truth as infallible.“I'm not about to do that again. I want to hear what you have to say, Brea. I'm not sure I believe you quite yet. But I want to hear what you have to say.”“This is my wedding day,” Emily says. “How dare you come tramping it on my wedding day. I won't allow it. I have a say too.”“You're right,” Jim says. “You don't have to listen to any of this on your wedding day. I'm going to listen though. Bria, I want
Mated to the Alpha CHAPTER THIRTY ONE
I wanted something a little simple. Our love is so magical, so much already that I was fine with a small ceremony.Jim’s family was a little more insistent on something bigger though. Now that they’ve fully accepted us, they’ve whole heartedly embraced me in a way I never could’ve even imagined before. It’s everything I wanted in my in-laws.So, we’ve compromised in a way. I still get a wedding that is in nature, which was most important to me. I feel so grounded when I’m in nature. I feel so at peace. It’s where I’m meant to be.However, the location is beautiful and we’ve invited all of our friends and family. We’ve done everything we could to make it special.I look at myself in the mirror and I’m thrilled by what I see, which is a nice boost of confidence I haven’t been blessed with much in my life before. I feel beautiful in my white dress that’s a bit shorter than the traditional wedding dress, so I can walk across the forest floor easily.Silver and gold make the dress spar
Mated to the Alpha CHAPTER ONE
I am excited as I head across the den to my alpha's cabin.Yesterday I turned eighteen. That means today, I will be assigned my mate.I could not be more ready to be married to Nathaniel.We are in love.We have been together since we were sixteen.I knock on the door."Come in," I hear alpha's voice from the other side.I open the door and slowly step inside the cabin.It is cozy inside. Warm. A fire glows.My alpha looks up from behind his wooden desk.He is in his human form.Gray hair. A bushy beard.I think of my Alpha like a grandfather.I trust him to do what's right.For me, for the pack."Good morning, Alpha," I greet."Good morning, Bria," he returns.He gestures for the chair opposite him. "Come sit. I have some news I'd like to share with you."I take a seat.He hands me a cup of warm tea."Firstly, let me congratulate you on turning eighteen," he says."Thank you, Alpha," I reply.I sip the tea he gave me."I suppose you already know why I have calle

I run home and burst through the door.I cannot believe what I have just heard.Father emerges from the kitchen.He looks at me expectantly.He is smiling.He is expecting me to announce my engagement to Nathaniel."How did it go?" he asks.I shake my head."I am not marrying Nathaniel," I blurt out.His mouth drops open. His face falls."What?" he says.I stare at the floor."He has arranged for me to marry someone else," I say angrily."Who?" he asks."Jeremiah.""There is no wolf called Jeremiah," he says, frowning."He is the Alpha of a neighboring pack.""What?" Father says, his eyes wide. His mouth is open. He is clearly shocked. "That's absurd.""I know.""But...but why?"I pause. I feel guilty. I know Father loves me. I know he loves Alpha. And I don't want to hurt him.A part of me wants to keep my mouth shut. To not talk about Alpha at all.But it is too late."Why would Alpha do such a thing?" he continues."He did not say," I say, miserably. "I did n

I follow my father.I trudge down the stairs and into the living room.They stand together, Alpha and Jeremiah.They are both tall. Muscular.I look at Jeremiah.He is beautiful.He has dark hair cut short and his eyes are green."Jeremiah," my father says, "This is my daughter, Bria.""Hello," Jeremiah says.His voice is deep.It sends tingles up and down my spine.I feel like a traitor.I love Nathaniel.But Jeremiah is gorgeous..."Hello," I say.I feel myself blushing.Alpha looks at Father, a hopeful glint in his eye."Shall we leave the young ones to get acquainted?" he says."Yes," father agrees. "I'll make the tea."They head off together into the kitchen leaving Jeremiah and I alone."Shall we sit?" Jeremiah asks.I nod and sit on the couch.He lowers himself beside me.I can feel the heat from his body.I feel drawn to him.I cannot quite believe it.Minutes ago I was desolate.Now my heart is fluttering.He leans forward and looks into my eyes."
Mated to the Alpha CHAPTER FOUR
I stand on the doorstep of my home in the pale dawn light.I clutch my bag between both hands.I have packed all my belongs inside and am ready to go.But I still cannot believe it.I cannot believe I am leaving.I cannot believe I am joining another pack.I cannot believe I am leaving behind everything I have ever known.I cannot believe I am marrying Jeremiah and not Nathaniel.I look at my father, standing beside Alpha."Am I allowed to say goodbye to Nathaniel?" I ask them, hopefully.They exchange a glance.I already know the answer.It's Alpha who tells me what I already know: "I'm sorry. I think it would be for the best to just leave and not upset him."I lower my eyes to the ground.It is just as I suspected."Will you tell him where I went?" I ask."Of course," Alpha replies.The wind weaves through my hair.I glance up at the car idling in the driveway, spewing exhaust into the cold air.My stomach drops with dread.I take one last long look at my home.I
Mated to the Alpha CHAPTER FIVE
The driver opens my door.I do not move.I do not want to get out and face this.I want to turn and run.But I do not do that.I do not break my promise to my father and my Alpha.I somehow find myself getting out of the car.I breathe in the wet, earthy forest air.Jeremiah walks me up the front steps.I am not ready to go inside.I do not want to go inside.I do not know if I ever will be ready.Jeremiah pushes open the door.Behind it is a grand foyer.The foyer is large and open, with white marble floors and white columns.It is beautiful.The furniture is antique.There are oil paintings hanging on the walls.It looks like a museum.I flutter my eyes closed.I pray: Please, let this work out.Let me make it work.Let us make it work.I open my eyes and look off into the forest.I think of Nathaniel.I am going to miss him.I will always miss him.But this is the right thing.This is what the packs need.I am going to make this work.I step inside the
Mated to the Alpha CHAPTER SIX
I rest in my room for a few hours.I don't know what to do now.My mind is spinning.I can't even begin to think about decorating.My mind is full of Nathaniel.I hope he is okay.By now, Alpha will have told him what's happened.He will probably be as furious as the girl lingering at my door earlier was.Ana...She must hate me.I would hate me, too.But everyone else seems so nice.I remember the plate of food offered to me in the kitchen and am suddenly hungry.I jump up out of bed and rush into the corridor.Then I hurry downstairs."You're back," the woman grins when she sees me."I'm hungry," I tell her with a blush.Her plate is empty now. "I can fix you something to eat," she says."Oh, you don't have to do that.""It's no trouble. Take a seat."She goes over to the oven and starts frying.I sit down at the table opposite the man."My name is Beth," the woman tells me.I nod. "I'm Bria."She smiles again. "I know.""You're the Alpha's mate," the man say
