Lillian’s POV

I tried to act strong in front of Celeste, in front of Alanna and Aiden, in front of the guards who watched my door and the staff who served my meals. I tried to project confidence and calm, to show that I wasn’t intimidated by anonymous threats or poisoning attempts or shadows in hallways.

But the truth was, I was scared. Terrified, actually.

Someone wanted me dead badly enough to kill an innocent woman in the attempt. Someone had resources and access and determination, and despi

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 73

    Lillian’s POVThe tension between us was thick and suffocating, hanging in the air like a physical weight that pressed down on both of us. We stood there on the balcony, barely two feet apart, but it might as well have been miles for how distant and unreachable Dorian suddenly felt.I couldn’t explain to him what had happened last night. Couldn’t find the words to tell him that I’d been drugged by someone in his own pack house, that I’d woken up in a strange room with no memory of what I’d done or who I’d been with, that I might have made a terrible mistake while under the influence of whatever they’d given me.The shame and fear of it kept the confession locked in my throat, choking me with everything I couldn’t say.At the same time, I found myself studying Dorian’s face, looking for signs of his own guilt. He looked haggard and stressed, his eyes carrying shadows that suggested he hadn’t slept well. And there was something in his expression. Had he done something with that woman a

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 72

    Dorian’s POVI’d been pacing my office for hours, back and forth across the same stretch of floor until I was surprised I hadn’t worn a groove into the wood. Panic churned in my gut, though I kept my expression controlled and neutral whenever anyone looked my way. An Alpha couldn’t afford to show fear or uncertainty, especially not now when everything seemed to be falling apart.Last night, after Lillian had walked out on me in the middle of our argument, I’d tried immediately to go after her and explain properly what was happening with the unconscious woman and the elders’ schemes. But she’d been moving too fast, too angry to listen, and by the time I’d finished ending my call with Elder Rex and made it to the hallway, she was already gone.I’d called her phone repeatedly, letting it ring and ring, but she never answered. Each unanswered call made my anxiety spike higher, my wolf growing more agitated with each passing minute that I couldn’t locate my mate or confirm she was safe.Af

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 71

    Lillian’s POVI tried to move away from the guard, tried to force my legs to carry me back toward safety, but I was too weak to do anything more than sway unsteadily on my feet. My mind kept insisting I’d been poisoned, that this was like the tea incident all over again, but the feeling was strange, different from what I’d expect from poison.It felt less like dying and more like being drunk. My limbs were heavy and uncoordinated, my thoughts fuzzy and scattered, and worst of all, my wolf was acting completely unlike herself. Instead of being alarmed or defensive, she was reacting to the bare-chested guard in front of me with interest, with want, pushing forward in my mind in ways that felt wrong and confusing.“Get away from me,” I tried to say, but the words came out slurred and barely coherent.The guard didn’t respond, just stood there watching me with an expression I couldn’t read through my blurred vision. I needed to get to my room, needed to find Dorian or Alanna or anyone w

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 70

    Lillian’s POVHours passed and the woman still hadn’t woken up. I watched from the doorway as Alanna checked her vital signs repeatedly, mixing medications and observing her with growing concern. The guest room felt heavy with an uncomfortable silence, broken only by the occasional clink of glass vials and Alanna’s quiet muttering.“This doesn’t make sense,” Alanna said, more to herself than to me as she checked the woman’s pulse again. “She should have regained consciousness by now. Alpha command can cause fainting, yes, but not this kind of prolonged unconsciousness. There should be some response by now.”“Maybe she’s faking it?” I suggested, though even as I said it, I knew it sounded paranoid and petty.“Her vitals suggest genuine unconsciousness,” Alanna said, frowning deeply at the woman’s still form on the bed. “Her breathing is steady, her heart rate is normal, but she’s completely unresponsive to any stimuli. I can’t find any medical reason why she’s still out like this. No h

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 69

    Lillian’s POVI was in my room checking on Celeste when I heard a roar so loud and filled with such raw Alpha power that it shook the walls of the pack house. The sound made every instinct I had scream danger, made my wolf cower and submit even though I was nowhere near the source.That was Dorian’s voice. And he was furious.I quickly tucked Celeste back into bed, reassuring her that everything was fine even though my hands were shaking. “Stay here, baby. Mommy needs to check on something.”“Is Dorian mad?” she asked, her eyes wide with concern.“He’s just having a difficult conversation with the elders,” I said, kissing her forehead. “Nothing for you to worry about. Go back to sleep.”I slipped out of her room and moved quietly down the hallway toward the council chambers, needing to know what had caused Dorian to lose control like that. I’d never heard him use that level of Alpha command before, never heard such rage in his voice.But before I could reach the meeting room, I saw A

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 68

    Dorian’s POVI stared at Elder Carter with undisguised fury, my wolf snarling in my mind at the sheer audacity of what they’d done. Arranging a woman for me, bringing her to my territory without permission, treating my choice of mate like it was some negotiable business decision they could override.“I should lock you up for this,” I said, my voice deadly calm in a way that made several elders shift uncomfortably in their seats. “You’ve overstepped your authority in ways I didn’t think possible. You’ve disrespected me, disrespected my chosen mate, and undermined my leadership in front of this entire council.”“With respect, Alpha Dorian,” Elder Torin spoke up, though his tone suggested he was trying to mediate rather than challenge, “it is our job as elders to advise you. That’s what the council exists for, to provide guidance and maintain the customs of this pack.”“Advising is one thing,” I shot back. “Arranging marriage candidates behind my back is something else entirely.”“But i

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 67

    Dorian’s POVI sat in my throne room, the high-backed chair feeling heavier than usual as I waited for the elders to arrive for the urgent meeting I’d called. Despite my exhaustion from the day’s events, this couldn’t wait. The pack needed to know what we were facing, and the elders needed to under

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 66

    Lillian’s POVI stared at Dorian in shock as he climbed out of the wrecked car, his clothes soaked with blood and his face grim. Relief that he was home warred with terror at the state he was in.“Dorian!” I rushed down the steps, Alanna right behind me having been alerted by the commotion. “What h

    Dorian’s POVI was about to tell the stranger that I don’t have time for whatever conversation he had to say. But before I could form the words, a loud commotion erupted from far across the hotel lobby.Shouts rang out, followed by the sound of glass shattering and something heavy crashing to the f

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 63

    Dorian’s POVI looked at Marcus more carefully, trying to read what he wasn’t saying outright. His carefully chosen words and the tension in his posture told me there was more going on beneath than just friendly advice.“That sounds less like advice and more like a threat,” I said, crossing my arms
