My Scared Mate Chapter 17: Jayleen
The meeting room was replaced by the familiarity of the town as I made my way out, the cool evening breeze cutting through the tension that the war planning had wound up in me. I found solace in the quiet streets of our territory, their peacefulness serving as a reminder of what we were fighting for. The pack wasn't just a group of werewolves and their mates. They were a community, a family. There were kids, elders, unmated wolves and humans, all living under the protective umbrella of the Silver Pack. And it was my responsibility to keep them safe. The first house belonged to Luke and Rosie. They had a two-year-old daughter who was just discovering her playful wolf pup side. I smiled as I remembered my own pup days. As I knocked on their door, I put on my most reassuring face. I wasn't there to instill fear; I was there to ensure preparedness. Each conversation had a similar pattern. There was initial shock, then worry. But by the end, there was understanding and a sense of unity.
My Scared Mate Chapter 18: Skye
Sitting on the floor of my room, the quiet hum of the world outside my window was my only companion. I've been told I have powers, that a potential I can't begin to understand lays dormant within me. And now, I'm on a journey to unlock this potential. But where do I even begin? I closed my eyes, trying to reach within myself. It was like trying to grasp onto wisps of smoke, ephemeral and elusive. Sometimes I could almost feel something, a hint of warmth, a flicker of power, but then it would slip away again, leaving me grasping at empty air. Frustration welled up within me, the self-doubt gnawing at my confidence. How am I supposed to access something I don't even understand? How am I supposed to fight against a destiny that seems as immovable as the tide? Taking a deep breath, I tried to center myself again, to block out the whirlwind of thoughts and focus on the task at hand. I thought about what I knew about magic from stories, about reaching out with my mind and heart, about see
My Scared Mate Chapter 19: Jayleen
We were running out of time. Kain's attack could happen at any moment and we had to be prepared. The scent of unease lingered in the air, a tangible manifestation of the uncertainty that lay ahead.Michael stood beside me, the usually jovial expression on his face replaced by a grim determination. "The final group of elders and pups left this morning, Alpha," he reported. "They've been secured in the safe houses. The Beta team is guarding them."I nodded. "Good. What about our defense lines?""Theta team has set up around the town's perimeter," he answered. "Epsilons are scouting the borders for any signs of Kain's pack."I surveyed the map spread out on the table before me, marking out key defense points and escape routes. The safety of the pack was my responsibility, and I was determined not to let them down."What about Skye?" I asked, turning to face Michael. My heart clenched at the thought of her being caught in the crossfire."Elijah has been keeping an eye on her," he replied.
My Scared Mate Chapter 20: Kain
Looking out onto the sea of snarling faces, a wave of exhilaration surged within me. Jayleen stood at the forefront, his warriors forming a formidable line behind him. He wore a face of calm determination, a striking contrast to the threatening growls of his pack. I addressed the Silver Pack, my voice booming across the forest, "Ready to watch your Alpha die tonight?" I asked, the corners of my lips curling into a cruel smile. Their reaction was instantaneous. A chorus of growls erupted, their wolves emerging at the surface. Their eyes, a striking gold, glowed fiercely in the moonlight. It was a sight to behold, an orchestra of defiance, loyalty, and strength.But what caught my eye was Jayleen. His eyes, normally a soft brown, now glowed a vibrant red. I could almost see his Lycan instincts, primal and untamed, roaring to the surface. I blinked, taken aback for a moment. It was an unexpected sight, and one I hadn't seen since...A low growl rumbled in my chest, the surprise replaced

"Jayleen," I began, my voice trembling slightly, "I need to do this." I looked into his anguished eyes, my heart aching at the sight. He was always so strong, so unshakeable, but now, he looked as if he was on the brink of collapse. I reached out, gently touching his arm, wanting to reassure him."Skye, you don't know Kain. He's not to be trusted," he warned, his gaze piercing through mine. I could see the worry etched onto his face, the fear glinting in his eyes."I know," I responded softly. "But this... this is about family, Jayleen. It's about getting to know where I came from. I need this." I pleaded with my eyes, hoping he would understand.Jayleen clenched his jaw, his hands balling into fists at his side. He looked like he wanted to argue, to reason me out of it, but I shook my head, firm in my decision."I promise, I'll be careful," I told him, my words just above a whisper. "I'm not blindly trusting Kain, I'm not naïve, Jayleen. I just... I
My Scared Mate Chapter 22: Jayleen
From the edge of the Silver Pack territory, I watched as Skye moved further away from me, and closer to the very danger we had been protecting her from. Kain. My wolf was in turmoil within me, its frantic howls echoing my own panic, begging me to stop her, to bring her back. But I couldn't. She had made her choice, and despite everything in me wanting to drag her back, to protect her from what I knew was coming, I respected her decision.Each step she took felt like a dagger to my heart. My mate, moving further away from me, closer to my worst enemy. Kain. The sight of him, grinning, victorious, filled my vision with red. My fists clenched at my sides, every fiber of my being urging me to charge at him, to rip his grin off his face. But it was Skye's safety that mattered most to me. And for now, at least, it seemed that staying with Kain was what she believed was safe.Even so, as Skye's figure shrunk into the distance, a promise formed within me. If Kain so much as laid a finger on S
My Scared Mate Chapter 23: Kain
I watched Skye as she explored our old home, touching the surfaces as if trying to connect with her past, her roots. The questions she had were relentless, each one an arrow piercing my already wounded heart. But I steeled myself. This was the least I could do. Share the past, share her mother, with her. "She was beautiful, intelligent, fiery," I began, my gaze distant as I let myself get lost in the memories. "She had a temper, she didn't back down from a challenge and she was the best thing that ever happened to me. Your mother... she was the type of woman that, once met, could never be forgotten." Skye paused in her exploration, turning to face me. Her eyes held a guarded curiosity, a cautious hope. And why wouldn't they? All her life, she'd been without a family, devoid of the warmth that came from knowing your roots. I felt a surge of guilt. I had stolen that from her. I took a deep breath and continued, my voice barely above a whisper, "Your mother had a gift. She could see gl
My Scared Mate Chapter 24: Skye
The room I was in felt strangely foreign yet hauntingly familiar. Its grandeur was overwhelming, and the framed photos scattered throughout seemed to narrate a story that was part of my own heritage. Images of my mother and father, happy and in love, stared back at me. The resemblance I shared with my mother was uncanny. Her strawberry-blonde hair, her blue eyes, the curve of her smile - they all echoed in my own features. One particular photo drew me in, and I felt an uncontrollable urge to pick it up. This was more than just a picture; it was a connection to a past I'd never known. I hid it in my bag, a precious memento I would keep close to my heart. As I strolled towards the window, I couldn't help but be consumed by my own thoughts. Why had I chosen to come here, to be with the man who was accused of taking my mother's life? Was it the pull of a shared lineage, or something deeper? Was it curiosity or a longing for understanding? I couldn't quite put my finger o
