Sweet Little Mate 9: Lila
Betty is wonderful. She is the grandmother I wish I had growing up. Stephanie said she could be difficult, but I haven't found that to be true. Betty is opinionated and likes things a certain way, but who doesn't? Betty doesn't need a lot of care, more, so she needs companionship. I go out and do all the shopping, I keep the house tidy and tend to Betty's garden. Betty likes to cook. I have never had such good food. My dad didn't cook often, so we ate microwave meals and ordered out a lot.I tried cooking for Betty but was horrible at it. She tried one bite, stood up from the table, and dumped the dinner I made straight into the bin. I almost started crying, but Betty laughed and said she's had a lot of bad meals in her time but that my burnt yet raw chicken was probably one of the worst things she's ever been served, and from that point, she's been determined to try to teach me how to cook.After spending time with Betty, I can proudly say that I can now make scrambled eggs only, som
Sweet Little Mate 10: Lila
I just bit him. I literally bit someone. I feel Nova is absolutely delighted with herself. I, on the other hand, am completely mortified. I step back from the beautiful man I just physically assaulted and he is smiling down at me."Well, hello there, my sweet little mate." He chuckles, looking down at me."I... I... am so sorry. It's my wolf."He is all smiles, though, as I realize I am still standing much too close to this man he pulls me into a hug and plants a gentle kiss on the top of my forehead."I see you have met my grandma." I hear Betty coughing behind me.Betty is still where I had just walked past her when trying to leave. I told her I had met my mate, but we hadn't discussed it yet. That's one of the things I was hoping to ask her about before things fell apart today."Good thing you arrived when you did, Luke. Your mate is a runner. You caught her just in time." She has a lightness in her voice as she says this, and I see a smile in her eyes.My eyes dart between these t
Sweet Little Mate 11: Luke
I sighed and knew I needed to tell Lila everything. Her wolf chose me, but I want her, the woman, to want to choose me as well. I have been watching Lila for weeks, and she is an incredible woman. She is strong, hard-working, kind, and gorgeous."I came to your town to find Gemma."Lila let out a gasp. "My mom?""Yes, I was supposed to be looking for her to see where she might have gone. My dad has been searching for her for years.""Well, I can help with that. My mom died during childbirth." Her voice is quiet, and it quivers as she holds back tears for a mom she never had the chance to know, and my heart aches for her, knowing her world is going to be turned upside down yet again."That's not exactly true. Me and the two men you saw me with at the diner, Jake and Donte, we've been looking into her. We also looked into it once we saw you at the diner." I looked at her, and she didn't seem surprised."Okay, what did you find out?" She bit her lip, a nervous gesture I guessed. If this
Sweet Little Mate 12: Lila
I feel as though I'm living in a movie. Nothing feels real right now. I want answers to my questions, and I'll take time to process them later."Well, your wolf bit me because she has chosen me to be her mate. What this means is that she has committed herself to me. It will be very difficult for you to leave me now. Your wolf will pull you toward me. There are a lot of things that come with being a wolf and being mated. Your wolf has linked you to me. I can feel your emotions." Did he seriously just say he can feel my emotions that can't be possible? He is miscommunication.I interrupted him, "Can you elaborate on the feeling my emotions bit?""Well, your wolf is tethered to me, so I can feel what you feel, but not quite to the same extreme because we aren't fully mated yet. My wolf hasn't bitten you yet. Once that happens, you'll be able to feel my emotions too and more." I can tell he's hesitant to tell me everything. So I just move on to my next questions."My wolf, Nova, can I get
Sweet Little Mate 13: Lila
I wake up to the most delicious scent and feel so content in this bed. As I start to wake up more, though, I feel something hard against my backside. That's when I remember where I am and who is behind me in this bed, and I know what I am feeling is Luke's erection pushed against me. I try to ease myself out of bed, but his arms are wrapped around me.I try to wriggle free, but to my dismay, I'm stuck, and I don't want to wake him, so instead, I find I can roll onto my back, and I turn my head to look at Luke and get a better look at him.Nova took this moment to purr. "I thought you were a wolf, not a house cat," I say flatly to her."Our mate is perfect, Lila. Just look at him." With that, she purrs again, and that's when I see Luke smirk.I move to shove his arm off of me with a huff."Well, hello there, my sweet little mate," Luke said in a sexy, gruff tone."How long have you been awake?" I demand. I tried to sound annoyed, but if I'm being honest, I haven't slept that well in pr
Sweet Little Mate 14: Gemma
When I gave birth to my daughter, it was a very difficult experience. I remember it so clearly. Keith and I were so excited about meeting our little girl. We painted her nursery and picked out all her clothes.Keith knew I was a wolf and that he was my fated mate. I explained it all to him, and he was okay with everything. He was even excited when he was able to meet my wolf, Sky. We have been traveling a lot. Keith wanted to make sure we settled in a place where we would be safe, but he wasn't comfortable staying in my pack. He isn't a wolf, and it was too much for him. I was okay with this, though, as I would follow him anywhere.We had rented a little house in North Carolina. No packs were anywhere nearby, so we thought this would be the perfect place for us. Our little girl decided she wanted to come sooner than we expected, though. There were complications during birth, though. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue because pack doctors can help treat you. I couldn't go to a regular
Sweet Little Mate 15: Lila
After speaking with Betty and Luke together, I just felt exhausted. There is so much I have been through recently, and I think it's finally catching up with me on an emotional level. I tried to excuse myself back to my room, but Luke insisted I come back to what's called the pack house. That's the primary home for the pack. It's where the alpha lives, and Luke is the alpha.I tried to stay, stating I was hired to be with Betty, but she said I should go, and Luke stated he would send someone over to be with Betty. Betty, being his grandmother and knowing we were mates, helped convince her I should be with him. I don't think I'm ready to live with some man I just met though. He must have seen the hesitation on my face because he said I could stay in the room across from his but that it made him more comfortable to know where I was and know that I was safe.I was too tired to argue, and so here we are, in the most massive home I have ever seen in person. Luke said he needed to check in o
Sweet Little Mate 16: Lila
It felt like I had just fallen asleep when I was woken up by knocking on my door. Without waiting for my answer, Luke came into the room. I guess I should be happy I sleep clothed. Who walks into someone's room without waiting for a reply? What if I was changing? I shrug it off, though I mean I am in his house."Umm, Lila," Luke says, running his hand through his blonde hair. "I have a couple of questions." He says, almost sounding embarrassed."Okay.""Most rogue wolves smell like rogues. I know that doesn't make sense to you, but they have almost a sour scent to them. You though, you don't have the smell. I thought maybe it was because of your mate, but I asked Donte as he's the one who showed you to your room yesterday, and my grandma didn't smell it either. Can you ask your wolf why?"I asked Nova and shared her answer with Luke. "We don't have what you would call a traditional pack, but we do have a pack.""Does it have a name?""We are the Luna of the misfits, the lost, the brok
