AIDAN NIGHTINGALE.

The maid hiccuped, her breath catching in my throat as she cried and a part of me was glad that Octavia made a friend like that. I couldn’t smell any animosity, jealousy or hidden feelings from her at all.

All I could smell was the same pure love I’d smelled when she had barged into the room earlier, the adoration and I couldn’t help but feel like there was a reason I was suddenly able to smell other people’s feelings since that one time.

To protect Octavia from becoming a victim again.

Her body folded into me as if she belonged right there, fragile, warm and intoxicating. Her scent hit me all at once and even stronger now, that wild, honey-sweet note that both soothes and infuriates me.

She was too light. Too still and her breath fluttered against my neck, barely there as I pressed her closer into me, my fingers digging into her soft skin and it didn’t take long before I started feeling her heartbeat pick back up.

“W…. Wha…. What should I do now?” The maid’s voice

  • Betrayed by my mate, Claimed by his father   54. MY FAULT.

    AIDAN NIGHTINGALE.My mind was barely on the road, I’d intended to go take someone out on my own, without my men, by myself but I could barely think about it.Everything ended the moment I got there. Too weak. Way too weak to satisfy the burning rage inside of me and on my way back to the house, I’d gotten the call.“She shifted?!” I couldn’t believe it, even the priest had told me that Octavia shifting was going to be very difficult especially if I go through with partially severing the mate bond.The bargain with the moon goddess wasn’t an easy one, I felt like I was going to die, my world was bleak but I needed to go through with it for her sake but still….It doesn’t feel enough and now, my second in command was telling me that she had shifted and had gone berserk.“Stop her from getting out,” I ordered as I drove like a mad man, unable to control myself and if the moon goddess hadn’t shown me her mercy, I knew damn well that I would have been dead a thousand times over.“And what

  • Betrayed by my mate, Claimed by his father   53. BLOODSHED AND GUILT.

    OCTAVIA ADLER.The voice sounded so distant yet I could hear the fear that coated the voice. My heart pounded so hard it was hard to believe that it wasn’t also trying to escape this excruciating pain.The scent hit my nose and even though it was familiar, it wasn’t. I knew immediately that it wasn’t Aidan but somehow, whoever it was still smelled like him, probably because they spend so much time together.“W… Who. Is. It?” I managed to ask, each word grinding between my teeth as they made their way out. My teeth clattered as I lifted my gaze, the bond was brutal, punishing with no hint of mercy.There were two different people bonded. Two different wolves but somehow, I’m the one on the receiving end of the pain that feels as though it wasn’t going to stop until it had sucked every air out of my lungs.“Who is it?” I repeated the question, my throat burning and the pain starting to subside although I could already feel my wolf taking over, getting crazy as my nails scratched the til

  • Betrayed by my mate, Claimed by his father   52. CRAVING HIM.

    OCTAVIA ADLER.“D— Do you want to go to the gazebo?” Brittney’s voice made its way into my subconscious, it was laced with worry and when I lifted my gaze to look into her eyes, the pity still lingered but it was mixed with a heavy worry.“I know that you’ll feel a little bit better if you go out for fresh air,” she added with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. We might have just become friends but I knew how much she was rooting for Aidan and I.She was also the only one of the maids that didn’t try to shame me because of my relationship with him and I hated that I was worrying her.“Also, the priest already sent the potion so I don’t think you’d get a backlash from the mate bond.” She finished and I nodded in fake agreement.Deep down, I knew that no amount of potion could possibly mend what I was feeling now, it’s no longer the mate bond, it’s the mate bond and my own self pity.I shouldn’t have said what I said. Shouldn’t have done what I did. Shouldn’t have told him to giv

  • Betrayed by my mate, Claimed by his father   51. PAIN.

    OCTAVIA ADLER.My blood ran cold and I could barely move, I was frozen in place, he had just walked past me like I was nothing, like he couldn’t see me but I knew…. I knew he saw me just as clearly as I’d seen him.My body, as if having a mind of its own, turned around and I only stared, my eyes boring holes into his back as he walked farther and farther away from me.“Please look back…. Please…. Look back.” I had no idea how much I desperately wanted him to, how badly I wanted him to look at me just to know that he saw me but he didn’t.Aidan didn’t spare me a glance until I could no longer see him again and my eyes burned, his scent still lingered, awakening and undoing something in me at the same time.I could feel my wolf rearing to go, clawing at my ribs and screaming at me to just bolt behind Aidan, to follow him but what could I do? Run behind him like a needy puppy?My palm balled into a fist and I could feel my nails digging into my skin, I could feel the metallic taste of bl

  • Betrayed by my mate, Claimed by his father   50. FOR THE BEST.

    AIDAN NIGHTINGALE.The sound of the door clicking shut behind her sounded even louder in my skull more than any gunshot ever could and for a moment, the room was silent.Everyone at the table looked as though they were too scared to breathe as the air tensed and my fingers twitched, curling into my palm until the skin threatened to split.This is for the best. This is the right reaction. This is for the best.I kept repeating to myself internally as if it was some sort of mantra to keep me grounded even though every word was a lie, I hated it. I hated that I had to be cold to her but it had to be done.For her sake. I didn’t want the bond intensifying more than it already has. ‘This is not for the best!’ My wolf barked at me, his anger so vivid that I could feel my skin cackling as my jaw clenched, my teeth gritting so hard that I was sure my men could hear the sound. ‘Go after her, Aidan! Years, Aidan, for years we’ve lived without her. Do you know what we’ve had to endu

  • Betrayed by my mate, Claimed by his father   48. CRUEL ALPHA.

    OCTAVIA ADLER.Brittney eventually told me he was having a meeting with his men and when she told me the room to find him, I didn’t care, I wanted to see him… I wanted to speak to him, to ask him questions.Why did he suddenly decide to leave me on my own? Why is he suddenly giving me my independence?And what’s this about the priest giving me something to make the bond bearable? I know…. I know I said a bunch of things to him but I thought he knew I didn’t mean any of them.Getting to the room, I didn’t think twice as I shoved the door open so hard that it slammed against the wall, the loud thud echoing through the massive room.My heart raced, pounding really hard against my chest as dozens of heads turned in my direction, snapping towards me and they were all men, all silent and confused.My eyes found Aidan instantly, he sat at the head of a long, dark table, his broad shoulders squared, his fingers steepled under his chin and for a brief second, I saw something warm flash through
