Lillian’s POV

By the next morning, my body had completely given out under the crushing weight of the grief. I woke up with a burning fever, my skin covered in cold sweat and my head throbbing so violently I could barely open my eyes.

Alanna sat at my bedside, gently pressing a cool, damp cloth to my forehead. "We are going to find her, Lillian," she whispered, her voice cracking as she tried to force a hopeful, optimistic smile. "Dorian has the entire city locked down. The borders are closed. S

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 179

    Lillian’s POVI sat behind the steering wheel, my hands gripping the leather tightly. My heart was beating like a fast drum in my chest. The directions on my phone screen were very hard to read and very confusing. The road was dark, and there were no streetlights to guide my way. I turned down small, dirt roads that looked like nobody had driven on them for many years.After driving for a long time, the red pin on my screen finally stopped moving. My car rolled to a slow stop right in front of a giant, rusting warehouse.The building looked very old, dark, and scary. It sat all by itself on the far edge of the city, surrounded by dead trees and dry dirt.A wave of pure fear gripped my whole body. I could feel my hands trembling against the wheel. My breath came fast and weak. I was so scared that I could barely move my legs. But then, I thought about my sweet little girl. I thought about Celeste crying in the dark, calling out for her mommy. My daughter needed me right now. She had no

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 178

    Dorian’s POVShe was entirely right, and I hated every single second of it.I stood there, frozen in my own bedroom, literally watching the love of my life prepare to walk straight into an unknown dungeon with absolutely no backup. My chest burned with a volatile mix of fury, desperation, and a sickening feeling of helplessness. My whole body was shaking with anger, but I could not do anything to stop her.As I looked at the fierce, maternal resolve in Lillian's tear-stained eyes, I knew I had to bend. I could not risk our daughter’s life on a dangerous gamble. If I followed her and the kidnappers saw me, they would hurt Celeste without a second thought."Okay," I choked out, the word tasting like ash in my mouth. "Go. But you promise me…you promise me you will be careful, Lillian.""I promise," she whispered, her voice soft and full of tears.She quickly dressed in dark, practical clothes so she could move easily. She pulled a dark jacket over her arms and tied her shoes tightly. Rig

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 177

    Lillian’s POVThe piercing ringtone echoed in the quiet room, sounding like a ticking bomb. My hand hovered over the phone, my heart slamming violently against my ribs as I stared at the flashing words on the screen: No Caller ID.The sound was so loud in the quiet bedroom that it made my whole body shake. I stood completely still, staring at the screen, too afraid to press the button.Coincidentally, the door pushed open and Dorian walked into the bedroom to check up on me. He took one look at my pale face and the ringing phone in my hand, and he froze right at the entrance. We both stared at the private ID number, having the exact same terrifying forethought.This was the kidnapper.Dorian walked over to the bed with swift, silent steps. His big face was tight with worry and anger. He gave me a sharp, commanding nod, his eyes dark with a mixture of raw fury and desperation."Pick it up," he whispered, leaning down close to my ear so he could hear every single word. "I am right here

    Lillian’s POVBy the next morning, my body had completely given out under the crushing weight of the grief. I woke up with a burning fever, my skin covered in cold sweat and my head throbbing so violently I could barely open my eyes.Alanna sat at my bedside, gently pressing a cool, damp cloth to my forehead. "We are going to find her, Lillian," she whispered, her voice cracking as she tried to force a hopeful, optimistic smile. "Dorian has the entire city locked down. The borders are closed. She has to be somewhere close. We just need to give the trackers more time."But my forced optimism only made me feel worse. It made me feel incredibly worried, because I knew the cold, hard reality. The longer a child was missing, the lower the chances of finding them alive.To make matters worse, the morning news was already a chaotic circus. Alanna had left the television on a low murmur, and the flashing headlines about last night were absolutely everywhere:Every single piece of news was a s

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 175

    Dorian’s POV"I want every single warrior, scout, and tracker fanning out from the city center to the deepest trenches of Night Spire!" I roared, my voice echoing off the vaulted ceilings of the main foyer. "No one sleeps until my daughter is back in this house!"The pack house had been transformed into a chaotic command center. High-ranking officers of the regional police department were standing in the dining room, frantically taking reports and looking over blueprints of the city hall. Outside the main gates, the flashing red and blue lights of patrol cars illuminated the dark woods, while a swarm of lousy, opportunistic reporters hovered like vultures, shoving microphones at the pack guards to try and get a statement about the Luna's collapse and the child's disappearance.I stood in the center of the madness, my hands trembling with a violent, helpless rage.I felt like an absolute, pathetic failure as a father. I was the Alpha of Fangshade, the most feared wolf in the territory,

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 174

    Aaron’s POVHow the hell did she know about it?The question echoed violently in my mind, but I forced my facial muscles to remain completely relaxed. I couldn't let her see even a flicker of panic.I let out a soft, mock chuckle, letting a look of pure, fabricated confusion wash over my face. "Miss Taylor? Shantel, you are completely losing your mind. She is the assistant director of marketing. We have late-night strategy meetings to salvage the company's public image. If you're going to start inventing fairy tales just because you got humiliated by Lillian…”Before I could even finish my sentence, Shantel’s arm whipped through the air, her palm flying toward my face for a second strike.But I was ready this time. My reflexes kicked in, and I swiftly dodged the blow, her nails just barely grazing the air inches from my nose. I grabbed her wrist mid-air, but she violently yanked it back, her eyes burning with pure, unadulterated hatred."Don't you dare play dumb with me, Aaron!" she h

    Lillian’s POVMy wolf’s insistence grew stronger, and I knew I couldn’t just lie here frozen while someone lurked outside my door. I needed to confront whoever it was, to find out what they wanted and why they were watching my room in the middle of the night.I slipped out of bed as quietly as poss

But my head was completely clear this time, clearer than it had been since this nightmare started.All I felt was disgust and fury.“Pick up your clot

    Dorian’s POV“Lillian, please don’t be like this,” I said, moving to follow her as she walked away. “What happened with Miranda, it was a mistake. A terrible mistake that I don’t even remember making, but a mistake nonetheless.”She stopped walking, but the silence that enveloped us was cold and he

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 89

    Lillian’s POVI walked away from Dorian and headed straight to Celeste’s room, my emotions too raw and overwhelming to deal with anything else right now.
