The wind rustled gently through the trees, but Clara felt none of its coolness. Her heart thundered in her chest like a war drum, but she managed to keep her face steady and composed.

Her eyes never left Jace’s as he delivered his words like knives, “Maybe it is better if you leave.”

His voice was cold, deliberate, meant to wound.

She didn’t flinch. She didn’t cry. Not here, not in front of him.

She tightened her jaw, fire burning behind her eyes. “If that’s what you want,” she said quietly, each word laced with pain, but also with something harder, unbreakable.

Jace hesitated, for just a second. But the storm in his own heart was buried beneath layers of pride and confusion. So he turned, his footsteps crunching against gravel, walking away without looking back.

Clara stood in the backyard long after he was gone. Her legs felt like stone, her chest heavy with emotion, but she remained rooted there, as if the air will could keep her whole. Anger bloomed like a thorned vine inside her

  • Abandoned By My Mate    CHAPTER 33

    Her anger nearly clouded her judgment. She knew she didn't need to hit it, but she couldn't help it. As she stormed away from his office, there was only one voice speaking to her.Clara’s footsteps echoed sharply in the hallway as she stormed down to her office. Her fists were clenched at her sides with her lips were tight, and her breathing was uneven. The sting of humiliation was still fresh on her cheeks. When she reached her office door, she fumbled with the keys, her fingers trembled as she tried to jam the right one into the lock."Ughh!" She hissed in frustration.The metal refused to yield until she paused, took a sharp breath, and forced herself to calm down. After a few seconds, she tried again. This time, she slotted the right key in the lock with ease, and it clicked as she moved it to the side. The door creaked open, and she marched in, tossing her bag carelessly to the side of her desk, and immediately changed into her gym uniform. It was a fitted navy shirt with the es

    The last words from Melinda’s lips and the look on her face made Clara suspect she was up to something—but what?Clara opened her mouth to speak, her heart raced as she prepared to explain herself, but before a single word could escape her lips, Melinda cut her off smoothly. She had a confident look on her face.“I caught her sneaking in just now,” Melinda said too quickly, her voice was still firm, like she had been planning them since. “She probably thought no one would notice. She pretended like she’d been here since morning.”Clara’s eyes widened in disbelief. "What?" Her mouth fell open, stunned at the bold-faced lie. “That’s not—”“Enough,” Mr. Landford interjected, his voice was stern and unforgiving. His gaze shifted coldly between the two women, then landed fully on Clara. “See me in my office. Now!”He didn’t wait for a response. He turned sharply on his heel and walked off, his footsteps echoed loudly through the empty hallway to his office.Clara stood frozen for a moment,

    She stood for nearly a minute. She couldn’t move, couldn’t even react. She didn’t know whether she was scared or she was angry, but one thing was certain, she didn’t like it.Clara stared blankly at the screen of her phone, the weight of her boss's harsh words still lingering in her ears. She remained rooted to the spot outside her apartment door, clutching the key tightly in her hand. Her face was stiff, nearly unreadable. She had something between a frown and a look of shock pasted on her face.Ten minutes or nothing, he had said. The command replayed over and over in her mind. Her mind wandered to what her life would have been like if she had made the choices she wanted. She certainly won't have had to put up with a rude boss in a low-class job. The more she thought about this, the closer her thoughts drifted towards Jace. She shook it off, finally breaking free from her frozen state. Her body jerked into motion as she muttered, “We’ll talk about this later,” as if reassuring hers

    Fear gripped him as he stopped sharply. The guilt of earlier resurfaced for a split second.Jace froze mid-step. The voice calling out to him sounded too familiar, sounded a lot like hers. His body tensed, and for a moment, the guilt he had been suppressing all day threatened to break out again. A cold shiver ran down his spine as he thought of what he would say to her.“I thought you had left?” he finally asked. His body remained still. He spoke without turning around; his words came out barely above a whisper. His whole demeanor seemed so strained.There was a short pause before the voice answered. It was calmer, gentler than Jace had expected. There was even a hint of amusement behind it.“What do you mean by ‘left,’ Alpha? You didn’t send me on any errand, did you?”Jace turned slowly. He was shocked when he came face to face with the surprised look on Marla's face. His family's chief cook. It wasn't Luci, not even close. His eyes scanned her features carefully. Then they locked e

  • Abandoned By My Mate    CHAPTER 29

    She couldn't take it any longer. Since she left her apartment, she's been receiving awkward stares and a few laughs. She had nearly reached the bus stop, but couldn't take the looks anymore. What's their issue?She looked down at her attire, aside from the skimpy trouser which didn't look all too good but wasn't a serious source of amusement or was it?She looked around but still couldn't place what they were amused by. Her top was worn the wrong way but it wasn't too obvious, not enough to draw attention. She stopped again and assessed her attire. That's when she saw it.She hadn't thought of checking the back of her trousers. As she stretched back, her eyes caught the small lining of her underpants. In shock, she pushed herself back in an attempt to see it better, but nearly slipped.She caught herself in time but earned a few more giggles from the onlookers. She backed towards a glass door, using her reflection to confirm everything. There, she could see it now. There was a hole at

    Gabriel had left a while ago, but his words still hung heavily in Jace's large office. Its effect lingered long after.Jace sat behind his desk with his elbows propped up on the polished wood. He pushed his fingers against each other and pressed them to his lips. The room remained quiet since Gabriel had left. Jace had said nothing, made no sound either. He just remained sitting on his chair, barely doing any work. Gabriel’s words echoed loudly inside his head. His relentless and unforgiving tone scared Jace.“Get your house in order.”The Alpha’s jaw tensed. Has it truly gotten that bad? Was he really losing control?He had prided himself on being strong, collected and commanding, but it seems the cracks were showing. First with Luci, then Clara, and now his Beta looking him in the eye and calling out what no one else dared to speak aloud, but all knew.He looked down at the reports scattered across his desk. Intelligence on rogue movements, land disputes, and territory alerts. None
