Alle Kapitel von Too Human for My Mate, Perfect for the Rival Alpha: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

Rowan Everly POV"Look at the fat human, she looks like a drowned rat," a pack courtier snickers loud."She is so shameless," another courtier says. "She wants to stay with Alpha Grayson just to climb the pack ladder.""I heard she tried to drown Brielle Thorn in the garden pond because she is jealous," a third one whispers.My heart hurts so bad. The wet blue dress sticks to my big body. Everyone is staring and laughing at me in the Crimson Moon Banquet Hall."You do not belong here, Rowan," Brielle told me in the garden just a few minutes ago. "You are just his human wife on paper. Grayson loves me. You should just give up and leave the pack.""I am his legal wife," I told her."He does not want a big human girl," Brielle laughed. Then she grabbed my arm tight. "Help me, Grayson, help, she is pushing me."She pulled me down into the cold water with her. Grayson jumped in fast. He did not look at me at all. He lifted Brielle up in his big arms. He kissed her head gentle."Are you oka

Rowan Everly POV"Oh no!" Piper screams as the elevator shakes loud and stops fast.The elevator gives a big thud. I lose my balance on my feet. My plus-size body falls right forward before I can grab the metal rail. I bump straight into the big man next to me. My forehead rubs against his open shirt collar. He is so close I can smell a little bit of sharp tobacco mixed with a super clean, cold wolf scent.Piper stands up straight and looks at me with huge eyes. She grabs my arm and pulls me up. "Rowan! Are you okay?"When I fell, a big, heavy hand reached out fast. It caught me tight right around my waist. His big fingers pressed hard into my skin to hold me steady, and he felt so strong."I am fine," I whisper to Piper.The big Alpha caught me before I hit the floor, but my heart is thumping like crazy. I have never been this close to any male wolf except Grayson. I look up at Alpha Declan. His face is completely blank like stone, but his warm hand is still holding onto my waist.My

Rowan Everly POV"Grayson, I thought you did not care about my pack business," I say with a small, cold laugh. "Maybe I should ask—do you still care about me at all?"Grayson smashes his lips together real tight and does not say a single word back to me.My heart falls deep down into my stomach, but I keep my face totally blank like stone. I turn my big body around and walk right up the stairs without looking back at him.Because I spent so much time in that freezing pond water, my skin starts burning real bad with a fever. For the first part of the night, I see so many scary dreams. I dream about the very first time I met Grayson, and how I had to watch him hug and kiss other she-wolves. Then I dream about our wedding day.In the dream, Grayson looks so tired, and his eyes are completely red and full of pure hatred. "Tell me the truth, human!" he screams at me in the dream. "Have you ever done something bad to me?!"I squeeze my hands into fists and shake my head no."Fine," Grayson

Rowan Everly POVI was nothing like Vivian Holloway.Even with my heart torn into bleeding shreds, a foolish spark of hope still burned inside my chest for Grayson Ashbourne. I knew it made me look like an idiot, but after two agonizing years of giving everything to his pack, I could not just throw my mate bond into the trash. If I walked away now, what was all my suffering even for?I watched Vivian pretend to lose her footing in the middle of the crowded Black Fang Lodge, falling right into the massive chest of a high-ranking wolf. I shook my head, fighting off another dizzy spell as I pushed myself out of the booth to leave.Outside the main hall, Garrett Sterling handed his heavy keys over to the pack valet. The second he stepped inside the private corridor, his eyes caught my plus-size figure stumbling toward the exit with a blank, exhausted expression. He watched me leave before disappearing down the exclusive hall.The VIP chamber inside the Black Fang Lodge was strictly reserv

Rowan Everly POV"Here is what happened," Garrett's frantic voice came rushing through the phone speaker. "I was supposed to drive Alpha Declan back to his private estate, but the Moonclaw Academy infirmary called me just now. My mate was injured during combat training and she is admitted right now. I cannot find another high-ranking pack member to take my place, but I saw you standing at the Black Fang Lodge. Can you please do me a massive favor and drive Alpha Declan back? He drank heavy tonight, so he cannot drive, and I do not trust leaving the Hawthorne Alpha with anyone else."I stood frozen near the lodge driveway, my hand gripping the phone so tight my knuckles turned white. I pressed two fingers to my burning forehead, my feverish brain spinning out of control. "Garrett, I—""Please, Miss Everly!" Garrett begged, his tone thick with sheer panic. "My mate is bleeding at the infirmary, so I need to leave right this second! Please help me! The Alpha's safety is on the line!"I s
