Lillian’s POV

I’d feared this exact scenario, had known deep down that my presence in Fangshade Pack wasn’t quite as welcomed as Dorian believed it to be.

For five years I’d felt the whispers, the sidelong glances, the subtle ways some pack members made it clear they saw me as an outsider who’d gotten too comfortable in their territory.

And now, standing before the elder council while they looked at me with stone, cold disapproval, all those fears were being validated in the worst possible wa

    Aaron’s POVI pulled the car into the long driveway of the pack house and shut off the engine. I checked my luxury watch in the dim light of the dashboard. The timing was absolutely perfect. I had managed to kill the assistant director, trick the harbor security by checking into her cruise ship cabin, and drive all the way back across the city without hitting a single delay. I smoothed down the collar of my shirt, took a deep breath to shake off the lingering scent of rain and blood, and walked inside. I was right on time for dinner.The moment I stepped through the grand front doors, the rich, heavy scent of roasted meat, expensive wine, and sweet spices hit my nose.I walked into the formal dining room and saw that Shantel had gone completely all out. She had prepared a truly luxurious meal. The massive mahogany table was covered in fine silver plates, glowing candles, and a massive spread of high-end food that could easily feed a dozen Alphas.Shantel was sitting at the head of the

    Chapter 155Aaron’s POVThe heavy wooden door opened, and Shantel walked back into the suite just as the final click of the call disconnected. I quickly slid the burner phone into my pocket, smoothing down my expression before she could notice the lingering tension on my face.She stopped in her tracks, her sharp eyes instantly scanning the room. She narrowed her gaze, sniffing the air with a slight frown. "The air in here feels a little bit stale, Aaron," she remarked, walking closer to my desk. "Almost heavy. Did someone else come in while I was gone?"A small bolt of discomfort shot through my chest, but I kept my composure perfectly. "It's probably just the aftermath of that long investor meeting," I lied smoothly, leaning back in my chair and gesturing toward the scattered files on the desk. "A dozen stressful Alphas locked in one space tends to leave a foul scent behind. Don't worry about it."Shantel seemed to accept the answer, her expression softening as she stepped around th

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 154

    Aaron’s POVI stood at the head of the polished glass conference table, watching the top investors gather their tablets and leather folders as they filed out of the room. The meeting had been a massive success. For months, these same men had looked down their noses at me, treating AMS Corps like a sinking ship. But today? Today they were practically bowing at my feet, desperate for a bigger piece of the pie. The vertical spike in our stock value had completely changed the game, and the sweet taste of absolute victory was finally within my reach.As the heavy glass doors clicked shut behind the last investor, Shantel walked into the room from the side entrance. She was holding a thin tablet against her chest, a triumphant, knowing smirk plastered across her face.She walked straight up to me, turning the screen around so I could see the glowing charts. "The final projections just came in from the analytics team, Aaron," she said, her voice full of pride. "Look at this. If we keep goin

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 153

    Lillian’s POVI didn't even bother buttoning my regular clothes properly before I rushed out of the private fitting room, my heart hammering against my ribs. The sharp, aggressive echo of Alanna’s voice was growing louder by the second, completely shattering the quiet luxury of the high-end boutique.When I burst into the main lobby, the scene was entirely chaotic. Alanna was standing in the center of the room, her chest heaving with anger, her fists clenched tightly at her sides. She was squaring off against a young woman, a newly hired receptionist for the boutique who was shrinking back behind the front desk, looking pale and completely terrified."Alanna, stop! What on earth is going on out here?" I called out, rushing over to step between them and put a halt to the scene before any human staff members could get hurt.Alanna turned her flashing eyes to me, her breathing ragged. It was clear she was operating on pure, raw nerve after everything that had happened with Aiden. "She wo

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 152

    Lillian’s POVI stood by the passenger side of the car, waiting for Alanna to slide into the front seat. I had explicitly asked her to come along with me to the designer’s boutique today, and it wasn't just because I wanted company for my fitting. Part of me was deeply hurt and incredibly frustrated. I couldn't understand why Alanna was being so stubbornly guarded, refusing to tell me a single thing about Aiden’s past. It drove me crazy that she had shut down completely, ending up in a flood of tears the moment I tried to insist on the truth in the hallway last night. She was my closest friend, yet suddenly, a wall of secrets had dropped between us.As I pulled the car out of the driveway and onto the main road, the heavy silence inside the vehicle became completely suffocating. The ride to the stylist’s boutique was… awkward. It was an agonizing, painful kind of quiet. In all the years we had known each other, this was the very first time we both felt too awkward and tense to eve

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 151

    Dorian’s POVI chose not to push her on the matter. I could see the emotional exhaustion radiating off her shoulders, and the last thing I wanted to do was drag an argument out of her the second I walked through the door. Instead, I let my hand slide down her arm, offering a brief, supportive squeeze."How was your day at the company?" I asked, trying to steer the conversation toward something normal, something grounded.Lillian hesitated, her eyes flickering away for a brief second before she forced her gaze back to mine. She cleared her throat slightly. "It was... fine. Just the usual mountain of paperwork and contracts to sign. Nothing I couldn't handle."Her voice lacked its usual steady confidence, and the hesitation wasn't like her at all. I stepped closer, my eyes narrowing slightly as I looked down at her pale face. "Is anything bothering you, Lillian? You seem completely checked out."She stared up at me for a long, heavy moment. The silence between us stretched until it felt

    Lillian’s POVI sat on my bed with the knife lying on the covers in front of me and the box beside it and my back against the headboard, and I did not sleep.My heart had been racing since the moment I shut that window and it had not slowed down in the hours since. I kept replaying the voice, the g

    Lillian’s POVDorian stepped fully into the room and put himself between Miranda and me with the quiet authority of someone who didn’t need to raise his voice to make his presence felt. He said her name once, low and firm, and took her by the arm and steered her back toward the doorway with the ti

    Lillian’s POVI went straight home after the meeting, needing the quiet of my own space before I looked at what my investigator had sent through. The drive gave me enough time to settle the buzzing restlessness that had been sitting under my skin since Dorian’s revelation about Shantel, and by the
