All Chapters of Mated to the Alpha: The Girl's Fate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Everything was too loud, too bright, and her senses were overloaded from all the sounds and smells. Her cage door was opened, and a metal wire immediately looped around her neck, cutting off her air. They dragged her out forcibly and then released her over the pit. Her wolf rolled all the way down, landing in the dust and rocks. She shook out her fur and stood, surveying the area.She was deep in the pit with sheer sides, the entire upper perimeter lined with filthy human males waving money and flashing greedy smiles. Heather looked around the pit. She was alone. Once the cheers grew in intensity, she noted the other wolf being pushed down into the fighting pit. It was a feral wolf, no sign it was ever a shifter.And it looked more angry than scared. Had they starved it? Tortured it to make it more volatile? She didn’t want to find out. Even though she was a shifter, she had no desire to hurt wild wolves. They were beautiful creatures and would forever be a part of her, just as humans

Heather heard the crowd going wild as another creature joined her. She smelled the air and knew without a doubt the wolf that was in the fight cage with her was a shifter.This wasn’t a wild animal.She turned her head and looked straight into its eyes. The open scars that decorated his body were clear. This shifter had been fighting for its life.The noise of the stadium seemed to all become a blur.“You’re not wild.” The words whispered across her mind, and she quickly stood on all fours as she looked at the creature.“How are you doing that? You’re not pack.”“True, but us shifters, we have a certain … bond. All of us. If we allow ourselves the chance to tap into who we really are, we would be unstoppable.” He sighed.The crowd went wild and she looked up. So many people.“They want us to kill one another.”“No, that’s not a sport. They want one of us dead. The other to be a victor. You’re a mated female, and you’re different. What are you?”“I am mated, but I’m no different than y

She wasn’t sure why David wouldn’t warm up to the other man, especially when he was so helpful to her in the fighting ring.“No, I’ll never put down my guard.” He still had the binoculars up, barely paying attention to her.“David, what’s your problem with him?”He finally set the binoculars down and turned, leaning against the wall. “I should have been the one to save you.”“You did. You came when I needed you most.”David scowled, pacing the room. “Your scent was all over him. My wolf still hasn’t accepted that.”“We were fighting to stay alive. That’s it, nothing more.”He nodded. “I trust you, Heather. It’s him I don’t trust.”“You’re jealous. There’s no need, David. He’s never done anything inappropriate and I have no interest in anyone but you.”As soon as she got closer, he grabbed her waist and whirled her around, pressing her to the wall. He pinned her hands high above her head with one hand. “How do we convince my wolf when you’re not even marked?”“Is that what this is?”“Y

All that kept going around his mind was how he had to protect his mate. She was the most important person in his life, and the only one he wanted to protect. Of course, he wanted to be there for his pack, but his Heather, nothing could happen to her.Pushing through the forest, he slowed his moves to a crawl, gaining on the next hunter.Irritation rushed through him as the man stopped to load up his weapon. They came with so much ammo. How did they track Maddox and Heather down here? Their home was off the grid.The man looked up at him.David smiled, and before the human could even shoot off a round, he was on top of him, snapping his neck like he had the first one.They must have been making a fortune off of the wolf fights as they’d brought a lot of hunters to the pack.“Reese is down,” Caleb said. “He’s been shot.”“They’re in the house. They’re in the house!” Reese kept on screaming in his head, and it didn’t take David long to realize it was their home, the one where the women w

Heather had been waiting on pins and needles all morning. There were so many unanswered questions with the She-Bear. It was important for Heather to know the bear was safe and wouldn’t harm herself. She’d seen her younger self reflected in the young woman and didn’t want her to suffer the way she had by not belonging.The moment she heard the rumble of the truck, she rushed to the window. David hopped out of the pick-up truck and headed to the house. She met him at the door. He smelled like the outdoors, pine, earth, and a uniquely masculine scent that was all David.“Did you get an update?” Heather asked. She tugged him down by the collar and nuzzled his neck.David nodded. “Joe’s going to handle everything.”“He won’t hurt her?”Her mate shook his head. “She’s his responsibility and he’ll do things right, make sure she’s not a threat until she learns to control her beast. We can’t get involved in bear affairs, you know that.”The last month had been a whirlwind. Now they were only h
