Chapter 58 – Inner Conflict
She was fuming! He went on to a few more matches. Thankfully, she wasn’t called for a third match. It could happen the next day or on the last day of evaluations.
They went home and she went to shower. Jared made a quick run to the pack house to get their dinner. Since the evaluations began in the morning, he had no time to cook. Though Polly was curious, she didn’t pursue the subject at the moment. She’ll look into it when the evaluations are over.
She was happy with her win. It was more meaningful than her loss. She kept looking back at both matches, analyzing how she managed to win the second.
She grimaced. Sure, she kept training to become stronger, but it’s not as if her opponents weren’t doing the same. They all do. They all aim to become better. Her wins can’t be guaranteed by the amount of time she spent in training. It’s not that simple. She groaned, still feeling unaccomplished.
She went out of their roo

He faced an array of opponents, only few of which she would consider highly skilled. The rest were roughly at her level.She left for a moment to get them food from the pack house. She didn’t want to be there during the actual lunch time. Jared was slightly distracted when he saw her leaving. It’s not really a big deal, he tried to convince himself. He became slightly pissed and finished his opponent quickly. He glared at Ren who was puzzled by his look. What did he do?“I think Polly’s getting lunch from the pack house.” He figured the man was looking for his mate.Jared paused and squinted. Hmm. He began to feel something odd within himself. How come this guy can guess where she went? And how come he didn’t think where she might have gone? The disparity in their level of understanding Polly annoyed him.He was itching to punch the guy, so he decided to leave and search for her instead. He was relieved when he saw her

“You asked my mom?”“Yes.” He seriously didn’t want to talk about it, but she seemed interested.“Really? What did she teach you?” She recalled the dishes he has made and felt as embarrassed as him when she realized. Damn. He made her favorite dishes! It was her turn to cough and blush.Jared scratched the back of his head as he tried to indifferently answer her questions.She wasn’t sure how to proceed. What he did was endearing. She’s not too dumb to think he didn’t do it for her. But it was really unexpected! She would never have thought he would do something like it. She could only imagine how her mom taught him.“Why didn’t you tell me?” He seemed to be doing it for a while already and she only noticed in the last week or so.He’s not sure what to say, so he shrugged.“You were quite good.” She felt the need to compliment him. Besides,

When Polly found him there, she became really annoyed. So, he’s avoiding her now? Pursing her lips, she went to prepare their breakfast. She did it grudgingly and made enough noise to bother his sleep. He was indeed awakened by her unnecessarily loud movements. He went to wash up first before standing close to her in the kitchen.She raised an eyebrow at him. “It’s my turn to cook.”“Is there anything you need help with?”“Oh, you want to help?” Her sarcastic tone made him frown. The man was confused by her slight aggression.“Can’t I?”Polly shrugged and took a moment before deciding to speak up. Nothing’s going to happen unless she confronts him.“Did I upset you yesterday?” That’s as direct as she could get.He was surprised by her inquiry and immediately replied with “No.”Her lip twitched and she eyed him for a few seconds

“I swear if you say one more word . . .” She warned him and he hated to see her red-rimmed eyes, like she’s about to cry.He nodded and really didn’t dare to say anything. They resumed her training and he only dared to speak to advise her and give her some pointers.When they were done, she immediately returned to the house without a backward glance. Jared couldn’t help but feel like a failure. They were already getting somewhere but he just had to mess it up.They were quite civil for several days. Polly’s birthday landed on a Friday. Her teammates greeted her and gave her gifts.“What did your mate give you?” Hana curiously asked.“Nothing.” Polly thought he probably didn’t know it’s her birthday.“Nothing? I bet he’s going to surprise you later.” Hana elbowed her with a meaningful smile.She lopsidedly smiled and inwardly sighed. She’s n
Marked Against Her Will Chapter 63 – Another Date
“Try the shoes. If it doesn’t fit right, I’ll get it replaced.” He bent down, took the shoes off the box and eventually kneeled in front of her. She didn’t like looking down at him so she sat on the edge of the bed.“You got me another gift?” She became curious as it was unexpected. He actually thought to replace the necklace just because she wasn’t using it?She was slightly bothered when he touched her feet and fitted them to the shoes.“How’s the fit? Isn’t it tight?”“It’s just right, I think.”He stood and offered her a hand. “Try walking with them. See if it doesn’t hurt you.”She was slightly weirded out. She knew what to do with a new pair of shoes. Well, it was his gift so she humored him.“They’re nice.” She gave him her verdict after pacing the room. “They’re quite comfortable.”“Are you sure?”“Quite sure. Thank you.” No matter what, she received a gift from him so she expressed her thanks.Her smile gave him some assurance. It was madness. Now, he’s unsure if she actually

“That you gave it to me?”Jared nodded and patted her head. This made her pout. Just because he’s taller, he gets to pet her?“What?” He noticed her expression and frowned.She used a hand and gestured for him to lower himself. He bent at the waist, thinking she has something to whisper to him.Polly reached out and patted his head, smirking at him.“Let’s go. Where are we going next?” She took a step towards the exit and he chuckled behind her. He liked it. He liked it very much when she touches him.They went to have lunch and while eating, she took out her phone and practiced using it. She called him. She sent him random letters as messages. She also tried the video call.“You’ll have to make sure there’s a signal, though. If there’s no signal, your call and messages won’t go through. You also can’t receive them. I’m not sure which areas in Sn

Well, Polly was grateful the place wasn’t crowded. She hoped not many people saw, as she already caught a few who were staring at them.“Try this one. It’s squid.” He offered and she grudgingly accepted. He chuckled as her expression changed.“Good, huh? I think I like this one best.”“Give me.” She tried reaching for it, but it was a bit far. He grabbed it for her. She decisively placed half of the dish on her plate and he took the rest.“Forget about the restaurant this morning. These dishes are better.”“I knew you’ll say that.”“You knew?” She acted surprised.“I have to save the best for last, no? That’s how I could surprise you.”“Order some more for mom and dad. And I want another of this.”He chuckled at how adorable she looked. She was like a kid, but not exactly childish. “As you wish.&r

Her father arrived just as they were finishing up. Polly shooed Jared away and set the table. The men chatted about possible changes in the training program.They had a pleasant meal and her father also asked about their trip. She prompted Jared to reply this time and he essentially copied her earlier words. Then, he and her mom began planning what dish they’re going to make next time.“I mean, there are plenty of substitute spices we can use. It’s not going to taste exactly the same, but we can still make it delicious.” Her mom had to compromise as they really wanted to try and see if they could replicate those dishes.Going back, he still held her hand. She washed up and went to bed first. When he showed up, the atmosphere seemed to change. She was slightly nervous. Jared didn’t utter a word and simply moved slowly towards her. She watched his every step so she ended up facing him.Shit! She got butterflies in her stomach w
