51. Running Wolves
I have the best intentions to update more regularly, but life happens. I know it's slow, but I am working on it and working full time as well as writing for another platform, so it gets crazy sometimes. I will try to work on a few more chapters, since I want to see if I can finish this book by end of August.

The Commander's Match 52. Frustration
Gemma She was already a little annoyed when Dale’s father made such a big thing about her not being in the competitions. It wasn’t really fair if she set out the competitions and then competed, was it? But then she was sure he was just being contrary and would have been the first to protest if she’d competed as well. It worsened when he tried to insinuate that she was not up to par with other alphas when she hadn’t even had her wolf for a full month. It was ridiculous how full of crap these self-righteous wolves were. But she shifted into Daisy after putting him in his place about his assumptions, considering that Daisy was looking forward to a run when they hadn’t had much time to shift with the tournament arrangements. So she let Daisy approach the starting line. At least the female wolves were not such pompous pricks as the males were. Daisy’s excitement was infectious as soon as they started the race. They stayed with most of the group heading out, knowing that the last
The Commander's Match 53. Family Reunion
Dale At first he was just relieved that his mate was unhurt and he had to remind Duke that claiming her here and now with cameras on them was not the best time or place, especially considering that they still had to gain her trust before the planned marking at the end of the week. Duke had huffed and agreed that he did not want anyone to see her when he claimed her. But then he turned his attention to the wolf hanging miserably in Charlie’s hold and he was livid to realize it was his brother, someone he hadn’t expected to see ever again. But then he should have probably expected it when his father had shown up out of nowhere; they were like two peas in a pod. He felt like shit when he had to tell his Gem that it was his family who had made her life difficult this time and he honestly expected her to kick his butt out of the pack. But she surprised him at her acceptance of that fact. She might not be ready to deal with them, but
The Commander's Match 54. Back to Business
Gemma She had managed to calm down slightly by the time she had washed all the blood off her skin. She had just finished dressing, when she heard the bedroom door open and close. Holding her shoes in her hands, she stepped out of the closet and glanced curiously towards the door. Dale had just come in and he was still only dressed in the spare shorts they kept in shelves in each changing room. It was difficult to keep her eyes on his face when he had such a lovely chest and abs to drool over. He came up to her and pulled her into his arms, only then did she realize that he was upset. Instinctively, her arms went around his waist and she held him while he nuzzled into her hair, taking deep breaths “What’s wrong?” She asked when she sensed that he had managed to balance his emotions enough to not crush her in his arms. “I just found out that they intended to mark you against your will to gain the pack.” He answered without taking his face out of her neck. “You mean like ever
The Commander's Match 55. Instincts
DaleHe was having trouble fighting his instincts when it came to marking and mating with Gemma. He had been so close to marking her when she’d held him in their room. He had been shaking with the effort it took to contain his every alpha instinct.So he’d done the one thing he’d known would help to soothe his wolf’s possessive instincts. He’d knelt down and cared for her in the most submissive way possible. Gemma had been embarrassed and he guessed that Daisy had not informed her of the true meaning of what he had done. He had forced Duke to submit to his alpha.She was still embarrassed by the time he forced himself to release her hand and Jessica had obviously guessed something else entirely, considering the scent of arousal still hanging in the air from their interaction, both his and hers.He had to help himself in the hot shower in a bid to soothe their lust somewhat. This was going t
The Commander's Match 56. Tournament Day Three Part 1
GemmaThey had held an outside movie night where families could have a picnic while watching a family movie at the end of the previous night; she was glad for the event since she had been exhausted after her busy day and had apparently fallen asleep in Dale’s arms, since he had been particularly clingy after her kidnapping attempt and his conversation with his family.This morning he had awakened her with hungry kisses that had her blood pumping long before she was completely awake, which only happened when he put her down outside for their morning run. She wasn’t sure how she felt about him driving her body insane before she had to run with the pack, but her attention was drawn to the other packs joining them for the morning run.Apparently, they thought it was part of the things to do for the guests. She was not about to tell them any differently, but they all started the casual run so everyone could keep up. After the run, they r
The Commander's Match 57. Tournament Day Three Part 2
DaleShe had excused herself from the table while he watched the alphas challenge each other for the title of strongest. He didn’t have much interest in it; his wolf only wanted to stay close to their mate.After a while he noticed that she still had not returned; he became worried and excused himself to see if she had gone somewhere to be alone. He had noticed that she would do that sometimes and he was worried with her energy fading quickly sometimes from all the wolves present.She would get tired quickly and she never said anything. What if she’d overexerted herself and was helpless somewhere? He had just come down the corridor when he heard her scream; it sounded like an angry scream and he rushed towards the bathroom where he was sure she was now.His mate never got so angry that she would be aggressive about it. He tried the door, but it was locked. He heard the scuffle inside and he felt the small ha
The Commander's Match 58. Overthinking
Gemma“I love you, my Gem.” He growled when he finally broke their make-out session so they could both catch their breath.She froze in shock at his confession. Wasn’t it too soon to make such confessions? Were things different for wolves? Did he actually love her or was it simply the mate bond that made her endearing to him? Surely, he couldn’t care for her so soon if he hadn’t wanted her to begin with?In her mind Daisy rolled her eyes. “Stop overthinking it! He said he loves you, say something back!”“Like ‘thank you’ or ‘you’ll change your mind soon enough’ or ‘terrible idea’? What am I supposed to say?” With another roll of her eyes, Daisy pushed into the driving seat. “She’s overthinking, Commander. Maybe you should make her forget?”Dale c
The Commander's Match 59. Fight
DaleHe could see his mate fighting both her wolf and her instincts about trusting him completely. She was mostly pensive whenever he saw her. According to Duke, Daisy had informed him that she was trying to figure out which of his actions were dictated by the mate bond and which were his true feelings.He didn’t know how to prove to her that he really was head over heels in love with her and the mate bond only forged the initial connection and the tingling sensations of their touch. He was frustrated with the situation he had caused and he wasn’t sure how to fix it. He was willing to fight for them, but he needed guidance.Currently he was waiting for his opponent to make the first move, but the alpha was nervous facing him. This alpha always erred on the side of avoidance. He didn’t know if it was because he wasn’t a very good fighter or because he was by nature a more peaceful alpha. His pack m
