All Chapters of Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

~Elvira ~ "How are you feeling today?" he asks as his thumb caresses a vein on my throat, his fingers gently gripped the side of my neck. "Feeling much better after the run and hot shower," I say, trying to steady my voice. He nods, his gaze fixed on me. He takes his hand to the knot on my towel and loosens it, dragging the white towel away, he throws it onto the chair right on top of the smaller towel he was just using to dry my hair. I stood naked in front of him, feeling completely bare under the weight of his stare as he raked his eyes over my body slowly, my breath hitched when his gaze landed on the faint claw marks from my wounds. I heard him growl, a dangerous sound as his eyes darkened with vicious anger. "I should have tortured those bastards more!” he rasped darkly "Whenever I see these marks tainting your skin, I feel angry all over again." "You already punished them," I replied I reach out to rub his arms warmly, trying to soothe the rigid tension in his muscle

~Elvira~I collected the small metal box from Aria’s hand, feeling the intricate carving on it with my fingers as my mind drifted briefly toward the moments I spent with her. My thoughts stretched back to how she helped me, back when I tried almost strangling Venessa with my powers, she had helped me understand more of my mysterious power, guiding me through the terrifying surges of the energy that felt like live wires beneath my skin, though I am still ignorant about a lot of things regarding my own true nature, I would have still been completely left in the dark, a danger to myself and everyone around me, without her patient help. I looked up back from Silas to Aria; they were both staring at me with soft, expectant gazes, watching my reaction closely. Were they here because they think I would feel bad about Selene leaving, or are they secretly worried about Venesaa’s punishment."I already miss her," I said softly, my voice barely more than a whisper as I looked past their head

~Elivira~"Speak your defense!" Gabriel’s voice boomed across the grounds, bouncing off the pillars of the Council Hall.The air was filled with the scent of the woods around and oncoming rain, pack members eyes were glued to the podium, where the trial was taking place under the evening sky."Why did you send hired werewolves from another pack to kill Elvira in the forest?" Gabriel demanded, taking a slow step toward Venessa, she kept her head down, her blonde hair fell forward hiding her face as she refused to meet his gaze."Speak!" Gabriel commanded causing her to shiver, he unleashed his Alpha aura, the raw power from him swept across the entire grounds making everyone standing on the gravel to bow in submission.Venessa sank even lower trembling beneath his imposing size. "I was jealous!" she suddenly spat out, her voice cracked as she looked up, her face twisted with bitter resentment. "I was jealous she would win your affection and become Luna instead of me! Look at her, Gab

~Elvira~"Where do you guys think she'll go?" I asked, sipping the wine in an attempt to shatter the quiet settling over the room.The entire kitchen remained hushed, as though the reality of the trial had left everyone consumed by their own grim thoughts."Are you kidding me right now, Elvira? Is that what you're thinking about?" Neolla asked, shifting in her chair to fix me with a defensive glare."I'm just curious, it's not deep," I replied. Aria's made a jerk of her arm causing her to almost spill her drink across the table, the abrupt motion forced everyone to sit up straighter, breaking the tension holding us hostage. "Are you okay?" I asked, looking directly at her.She blushed, her face turning red before she stood up immediately. "Uuhh, I am feeling sleepy. I need to clock in. Good night," she uttered in a rush, maneuvering around the chairs to make an exit.Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of Cole standing by the kitchen door, his back turning away from us so

~Elvira~"It scares me," he confessed, watching my lips.The air around us stilled. The crickets in the grass went quiet. He leaned closer, the heat coming from his chest wrapped around the chill in my bones. I held my breath, the scent of forest and rain washing over me, his eyes glowed still locked on my. I took in a sharp breath feeling my body soften as I got aroused by his closeness and heat. But the moment the space between us almost cleared, a muscle flickered along his jaw…he pulled back, the vulnerability in his eyes slammed shut, replaced by the guarded Alpha I knew."We should head back," he muttered, standing up and brushing the dirt from his dark slacks.My chest tightened. Pressure settled in my stomach. I didn't reach for him or demand answers. ‘He just poured out the deepest trauma of his life,’ I reminded myself. ‘He watched his parents die because of a mate bond. I can't expect him to just dive into this. It would not be easy, though it hasn't been since the ma
