My Scared Mate Chapter 6: Jayleen
Seeing Skye's frightened and confused face tugged at my heart. Her world was turning upside down, and I was the one spinning it. But it was necessary. She needed to know the truth, the reality she had been unknowingly living in. "Jayleen," she repeated, her voice barely above a whisper. Her hand trembled in mine, her wide eyes filled with fear and confusion. "Is this why you've been coming to the cafe? To keep an eye on me?" I nodded, not trusting myself to speak. Her fear was palpable, radiating off her in waves. I wanted nothing more than to pull her into my arms, to protect her from the harsh truth she was being faced with. But I had to respect her space, her need to process everything. "Yes," I finally managed to say. "I didn't know how else to keep you safe without scaring you." The silence that followed was deafening. I watched as she pulled her hand away from mine, taking a step back. I could see the walls building up around her again, her instincts pushing her to distance h
My Scared Mate Chapter 7: Skye
This is too much. It's all too much. I make my way back to my apartment, the late-night air crisp against my skin. The walk, short as it is, gives me time to think. The revelation about Heather and Michael, Jayleen's words, the world I've been thrust into – it's like waking up from a nightmare only to find out it's all real. Heather is mated to a werewolf. And Jayleen... Jayleen says he is my mate. The concept is foreign, completely out of my realm of understanding. But there's a certain pull, an undeniable connection that makes me want to believe him. I push open the door to my apartment, the dimly lit space offering me a sense of familiarity and comfort. As I shed my coat and kick off my shoes, I let my mind wander back to the conversation earlier tonight. "We were meant to be," Michael's words ring in my ears. "Just like you and Jayleen are." Meant to be. The phrase is heavy, weighted with a sense of destiny and fate. It's overwhelming, daunting even. But why does it also feel
My Scared Mate Chapter 8: Kain
I sat in my office, the dim light from the lone lamp barely illuminating the room. My eyes scanned the maps spread out on my table, tracing the borders between my territory and the Silver Creek. My grip tightened around the glass of whiskey in my hand as my mind raced with strategies and possible outcomes. "Sire," a voice broke my concentration, and I turned to see one of my pack members standing by the door. "We have located Skye Jackson. She is indeed in Silver Creek." My heart pounded in my chest, a mix of anticipation and rage. The thought of my daughter being in Jayleen's territory, being under his protection, made my blood boil. I downed the rest of my whiskey, feeling the burn slide down my throat. "Prepare the warriors," I ordered, my voice steady despite the storm brewing within me. "We're paying Silver Creek a visit." The man nodded, quickly retreating to carry out the orders. I stood up, the maps on the table seeming less significant now. My daughter was within my grasp,
My Scared Mate Chapter 9: Jayleen
"Just make sure our patrol schedules are reinforced," I told Michael, my eyes not leaving the sight of Skye's apartment building. A few lights flickered on, casting a warm glow that cut through the inky darkness. She was home. "Already done," he replied, glancing at me sideways, a silent understanding passing between us. We've been through a lot together, but the challenges we were about to face seemed to weigh heavier. Michael then turned away, disappearing into the shadows, leaving me alone with my thoughts. It wasn't just the threat of Kain that loomed over us, it was the fear of what he could do to Skye, of what he might have already done. The thought alone made my blood boil. Forcing down the rage, I turned my focus back to Skye's apartment. I could feel her through our mate bond, a steady presence that filled a part of my mind. She was scared, confused, and hurt. I wished more than anything to be able to comfort her, but the reality of the situation was that she was still gett
My Scared Mate Chapter 10: Skye
After Jayleen's departure, I sank onto the stool behind the counter, my heart pounding in my chest. His words echoed in my mind, over and over again, like a broken record. Mate. The term felt foreign, strange. I couldn't wrap my head around it, and frankly, I wasn't sure if I wanted to. My world had already been turned upside down when I found out about my father and my mother's tragic fate, but now... Now, it felt like I was being swept up in a storm, one that I had no control over. A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see Heather, her face filled with concern. "Skye, are you okay?" I managed a small smile. "Yeah, just... a lot on my mind." Heather's eyes softened. "Is it about Jayleen?" I sighed, resting my chin in my hands. "Yeah... He told me something. Something I... I don't know how to handle." Heather sat down next to me, her hand warm and comforting on my arm. "He told you about mates, didn't he?" My eyes widened. "You know?" Heather chuckle
My Scared Mate Chapter 11: Jayleen
As I left her apartment that night, my heart ached in a way it never had before. I could still see the fear in her eyes, the confusion. I knew she didn't understand any of this, and I couldn't blame her. It was a lot to take in. It was a lot even for someone born and raised in this world, let alone a young woman who had been raised in the human world, oblivious to her true heritage. The night air was cool as I walked back towards the pack house, my mind racing. I had to protect her, there was no question about it. But how was I going to do that when she was so afraid, so reluctant to let me in? As an Alpha, I was used to commanding respect, to having my orders followed without question. But Skye... She wasn't a pack member, she wasn't a werewolf. She was a human, with a human's fears and a human's understanding of the world. And she had been hurt before, I could see it in her eyes. She was wary, scared to trust again. And I couldn't blame her for that either. When I reached the pack
My Scared Mate Chapter 12: Skye
The next day at the cafe felt like every other. Except for the undercurrent of anxiety pulsating through me with every beat of my heart. A part of me was curious about Jayleen's revelation about Kain, my father. It was terrifying to think about my own parent as the monster Jayleen painted him to be, and yet, I was oddly relieved to finally know something about my past. During the mid-afternoon lull, Heather came to sit with me. "You okay, Skye?" she asked, her eyes filled with genuine concern. She always had a way of knowing when something was bothering me. "It's a lot, isn't it?" she continued, not waiting for me to answer. She was right. It was a lot. My whole life seemed to be unraveling around me and I didn't know how to make it stop. I nodded, feeling a lump form in my throat. I had so many questions, so many thoughts running through my mind, I didn't know where to begin. "Jayleen...he told me about Kain," I started, my voice barely above a whisper. Heather's eyes widened, but
My Scared Mate Chapter 13: Skye
Waking up the next morning felt strange. The apartment was too quiet, too still. I lay in my bed, the early morning sunlight piercing through the curtains and casting a warm glow around the room. It was too peaceful, a stark contrast to the storm of emotions swirling inside me. The conversation with Heather the night before had left me drained and filled with an aching emptiness. Talking about the past was like reopening old wounds. The fear, the despair, the nights spent crying myself to sleep... it was all coming back. Pulling myself out of bed, I shuffle into the kitchen to make a pot of coffee, desperate for something to help clear the cobwebs in my head. As I wait for the coffee to brew, I glance at my reflection in the kitchen window. My strawberry-blonde hair was a tangled mess, my face pale. I looked as exhausted as I felt. The memory of Jayleen's face when he told me about my father and my mother's death was still vivid in my mind. I could still hear the pain in his voice a
