Third Person's POV

Vivian froze, her little secret stripped bare in the middle of the hall.

She shot Seraphina a look that could kill, then brushed past her, heading for Rolf's room.

But as their shoulders grazed, she stopped. "Try to steal Mortimer from me," she hissed through gritted teeth, "and I'll rip you apart, Seraphina."

Seraphina let out a short, dry laugh she couldn't quite catch.

The vein in Vivian's temple throbbed. She whirled around. "What's so

    Third Person's POV"Be my guest," Seraphina said, her voice dropping to zero degrees."You... you just wait!" Vivian spat the words through gritted teeth, turning on her heel and stomping off.She was so blinded by her own theatrical rage that she seemed to have forgotten she actually came to the clinic to see her brother.Seraphina watched her silhouette vanish at the end of the hall, the small smirk on her face fading into something tired.She thought about Vivian's little boast—that Mortimer had promised to mate with her.Suddenly, the puzzle pieces clicked.She finally understood why Mortimer, who treated Vivian like a fragile glass doll, had signed that contract with her instead.Vivian was stuck overseas, recovering. Mortimer needed a female wolf to shut the pack elders up and kill the pressure from the Alpha families.He needed a placeholder. Someone low-maintenance, polite, and professional.Someone

    Third Person's POVVivian froze, her little secret stripped bare in the middle of the hall.She shot Seraphina a look that could kill, then brushed past her, heading for Rolf's room.But as their shoulders grazed, she stopped. "Try to steal Mortimer from me," she hissed through gritted teeth, "and I'll rip you apart, Seraphina."Seraphina let out a short, dry laugh she couldn't quite catch.The vein in Vivian's temple throbbed. She whirled around. "What's so funny?""Relax. I'm not interested in your 'prey.'"Seraphina almost told her that Mortimer was home with a fever—practically gift-wrapped for her to go play nursemaid.But then she remembered the look on his face this morning.At first, she didn't understand why Mortimer was angry when she had acted generously, even offering her place so Vivian could comfort him.But now she understood—besides worrying about tiring Vivian, Mortimer was probably tr

  • Ex-Mate Wants Me Back   Chapter 62

    Third Person's POVIn the next heartbeat, the floodgates opened. The memories he'd buried came roaring back.Mortimer's face, already flushed with fever, went a deathly, chalky white.He remembered.Last year, when he was bedridden and wrecked, Seraphina had nuked her entire schedule—canceled every meeting, walked away from every surgery—just to stay by his side.And what did he do? To protect that jagged, high-and-mighty ego of his, to make sure she didn't see him as some "weakling" who needed a crutch, he'd spat those ice-cold words at her.To Seraphina, that wasn't "strength." It was a slap in the face. It was him telling her she was a nuisance.A sudden, unanchored panic clawed at Mortimer's gut.He opened his mouth to explain, but his throat felt like it was filled with hot sand. Not a single word made it out.Seraphina clearly wasn't interested in decoding his facial expressions.She checked her watch again, her tone professional and final. "I've got a full surgical board today.

    Third Person's POVThey exchanged a look, their eyes practically sparking with unspent gossip."Look, stay sharp," Tade warned, his face a mask of professional gravity. "The boss's wife has never shown her face here. If she ever does, I want 5-star treatment. No screw-ups. Got it?"The team nodded in unison. "Copy that, Tade.""But wait—what does she actually look like?" one of them whispered, unable to help herself."To land a guy like Mortimer, she's gotta be a supermodel, right?"Tade blinked as Seraphina's face flashed in his mind. Supermodel? Please. Put those two in a room together and they look like a power couple straight off the cover of Vogue."She's stunning," he muttered. "That's all you need to know.""Tade, that's useless. 'Pretty' is everywhere in this city," someone protested. "Give us a hint so we don't make fools of ourselves."Tade sighed. He felt less like a high-level beta and more like a tired butler managing a bunch of interns. "Listen. You know how the boss is.

    Third Person's POVMortimer choked on his own absurd thoughts, which triggered a violent coughing fit.The burning in his lungs was brutal. He knew this was a self-inflicted wound—the price of his midnight stunt on the balcony.The last time he felt this wrecked was a year ago, when he'd taken a hit of wolfsbane toxin during a border dispute.That stuff was designed to paralyze the wolf and slow-cook your internal organs. He'd been stuck in a fever dream for days.Back then, Seraphina had cleared her entire schedule at the healing center to nurse him.She'd been a ghost by his side, her soft, steady "mate" scent acting as the only painkiller that actually worked.Looking back now, he realized how much of her devotion he'd treated like background noise.But today, he wasn't going to blow it.He figured no matter how much she resented him, she still gave a damn.Even if it was just her "healer's guilt," she wa

  • Ex-Mate Wants Me Back   Chapter 59

    Seraphina's POVHe almost kissed me. He was seconds away from biting my neck, from marking me for good.The things I used to pray for in my pathetic teenage dreams were about to happen, and I was the one who pulled the plug.I'd spent ten years crawling out of the hole I dug for myself, trying to look at Mortimer as just a guy, not a god.I couldn't let him drag me back into that swamp where I was always the second choice.I knew the drill: last night wasn't love. It was just his wolf being horny, or his rut, or some chemical glitch in the mating bond.Still, my chest felt like it was being squeezed by a rusty vice.I sat in that walk-in closet until my head was clear, changed my clothes, and walked out.I didn't want to deal with the "morning-after" fallout, so I did the only logical thing—I locked the guest room door from the inside.The next day, I washed up and changed as usual, then pushed open the door.
