The sight of him brought back all the memories she had been trying to tuck deep in. From the dinner night that never happened to the snub since then, all of it came flooding back at the sight of one man.

Clara stood frozen. Her breath caught in her throat as her gaze locked on him approaching in his usual relaxed manner. He looked confident, a little too charming for his own good, and from the smile on his face, he was clearly unaware of what he was walking into.

Damien, who stood beside her, noticed the sudden change in her expression. He followed her line of sight in the direction she was staring. He glanced between Clara and the man approaching them. He recognized him immediately as the Alpha, Jace’s Beta, but what baffled him was the reason behind Clara’s reaction. It was a normal thing for either the Alpha or his Beta, or at times, both, to walk in, so what's with her?

She had gone pale. Her lips were slightly parted, her entire body tensed as though a ghost had just walked into

    Jace could barely believe what he was hearing. He didn't believe that it could happen so soon. He barely had time to think of a counterattack when Stephanie came bursting through his door, and she looked weary again.Jace ran a hand over his face in frustration and leaned over the huge pile of documents littered around his desk. His mind was on fire, overloaded with reports, alliance requests, the ambush earlier today, and the mounting pressure from his inner circle. His office had a feeling of heavy pressure; the air conditioner was on, but the heat in the room couldn't be overstated.He barely had time to take a deep breath before the door flung open, and it was Stephanie again. “Alpha—” Stephanie gasped. Her face was pale, and her eyes were frantic. Her hair was scattered over her, and it looked like she hadn’t rested at all.Jace didn’t even bother to look up this time. “This is becoming a pattern, Stephanie. Can you get to the point? I’m busy.”She took a deep breath and steadied

    Jace stopped dead in his tracks. The last time Stephanie came rushing toward him with that same urgency in her eyes, the news had shattered his world. He hadn’t even recovered from it till now. He had barely stitched the pieces of himself back together, and now here she was again, carrying the same expression with a weighty possibility.His heart pounded as if trying to show through his chest. Stephanie didn’t say a word, still, she just looked at him with those widened eyes that begged him to brace himself. His throat went dry, and he stared at her for a moment, frozen in place. He shook his head, almost hoping the motion would push away whatever this was."Lead me," he said unenthusiastically.She nodded immediately and turned. Her heels clicked against the tiled floor with urgency as she nearly zoomed through the hallway. Jace mirrored her steps, each step carried more force than the previous, as though he was pushing himself to continue. They reached her office and she swung open

    Her words nearly pushed Jace off the counter. Ever since the day it happened, he hadn't spoken about her, not with Marla, not with anyone. So hearing Marla talk about his mother, just like that, so casually, it cracked something deep inside him. Something that had been buried for far too long.He stood upright, choking slightly on his own breath. He furrowed his brows as he stared at Marla like she had just said the most outrageous thing in the world. "What did you just say?" he asked. His voice was rough, almost hoarse.Marla turned and stood by the warmer with her back slightly turned to him. She then looked over her shoulder at him with a small smile. “I said, I can still remember the last words your mother told me.”Jace swallowed and tightened his jaw. “What, what did she say?”There was a deliberate pause, an exaggerated silence in her expression before she finally turned around to face him fully. “She said that you’d try so hard to fill your father’s boots, that you’d work your

  • Abandoned By My Mate    CHAPTER 48

    Jace had this funny feeling. Even as he slept, he couldn't quite shake it off. He rolled round in his sleep, disturbed by the strange feeling that hung over him.The night was nearing its end, and the darkness began to fade. It's been hours now, but still, in Jace’s subconscious, something stirred, a feeling, an unexplainable one, but still deeply unsettling. It pressed on his chest like a heavy weight, and he tossed from side to side; his breath was uneven. He pulled his brows together forcefully as his dream became increasingly disturbing. The fear was growing, finding roots in his mind as it began to choke him. Suddenly, like a man slapped awake by a hand, Jace shot upright in bed.His breath came out fast and uneven. His chest rose and fell rapidly, and his whole body, from head to toe, was drenched in sweat. The room was dead silent, but his ears rang loudly with a disturbing sound that didn’t belong in his world.It was his laughter, loud and sickening. Blackwood’s laughter fro

    It had been a rough day for him, and all he needed was some good news, something to put a smile on his face before he fell asleep, but worry washed over him, and anxiety followed.Jace stared at the lit-up screen of his phone like it held the answers he needed. Nine missed calls, four from Clara and five from one of the officers. His thumb hovered over the space between their contact names, and his eyes flicked from one to the other.He exhaled sharply. He wasn’t ready for Clara, not for whatever conversation she wanted to have. A part of him hoped it wasn't what he thought, but deep down, he knew it would be. Her calls had come in quick succession, which wasn’t casual. She certainly wasn’t "just checking in."And truthfully? He didn’t feel like talking to her, not when his entire reality was being chipped away piece by piece by Blackwood’s invisible hand.He tapped the officer's name and hit "call." The line connected after just one ring.“Alpha,” his voice came through. It was urgen

    She tried as she could, but she couldn't just quite shake it off. Like a stubborn stench, it rested over her head, not settling for a second.Clara couldn’t stop pacing. The echo of Blackwood’s threat from earlier in the day rang through her thoughts like am alarm she couldn't silence. No matter how hard she tried to suppress it, it wrapped around her like thick fog. It pulled the breath out of her nostrils.She stood in front of her trainees with her whistle in hand and a stern face. She gave her best face and pretence.“Take formation, now!” she ordered.The group scrambled into motion, but Clara’s eyes lingered on the spot for a moment, a random spot, she had gotten lost in thoughts again. She didn’t even notice when one trainee tripped during an attempted stance arrangement. The heavy sound her body made after hitting the training mat startled Clara back to the moment. She rushed towards her and helped the trainee up. Only offered a simple nod without a single word of correction
