Leo slurped fried noodles, sauce smearing his chin, and met my gaze. "I don't think that's wrong. Everyone's got a right to love. Werewolves get mates shoved on us at birth, but that doesn't mean we know how to feel it - or take it. Normal wolves figure it out through family, mates, whatever. But us? Lycans? All we get from blood and bonds is hate."
He leaned back, eyes glinting with something raw. "You had a mate once, Leah. I never did. You had the glory, the wealth, the whole damn Lycan Princess package - I got nothing. When I heard you tossed it all to marry Lucas as an omega, I was fucking livid. Growing up, I envied every scrap you had, and you just… threw it away for some fool's love. And then Father didn't even stop you. Made me wonder if he ever gave a shit about you like I thought."
His words sliced deep, but I kept my face blank, hands steady as I peeled the last shrimp. "Love's a mess, Leo. It doesn't bend to reason or rank. I chose

Goodbye, my mate Chapter 268
Leah's POVThe basement door loomed ahead of me, a slab of chipped wood that creaked under the weight of its own decay. I trudged toward it, boots scuffing the concrete, when Leo's voice hit me like a fist through the wall. "I want to divide the spicy sauce! I said I want to divide the spicy sauce! Why didn't you divide the spicy sauce for me?!" His roar was feral, unhinged, rattling my skull as I paused, hand hovering over the rusted knob.I rubbed my forehead, fingers digging into the skin hard enough to leave marks. Why does it seem like every mentally ill bastard has such strict requirements for Chinese food? I thought, bitterness curling my lips. It's just fucking Chinese food, for Christ's sake - not some sacred ritual. But Leo, with his wild eyes and fractured mind, turned everything into a battlefield.I shoved the door open and stepped inside, the hinges groaning like a dying animal. The basement stretched out before me, a cold, sterile mockery of a lab
Goodbye, my mate Chapter 267
Leah's POVThe elevator doors slid shut behind me, sealing away the last of the daylight. The humming helicopter lights buzzed overhead, casting a cold glow over the stretcher where Cole writhed. His restraints creaked, the leather biting into his skin as he arched against them, his muscles knotting in unnatural ways. The paramedics’ faces were tight, their knuckles white around the gurney rails. They didn’t understand. How could they?Leo, what have you done to that poor soul?The thought scraped against my ribs like a claw. Cole's eye - wild, bloodshot - locked onto mine for a second, and I saw it - the flicker of a man still trapped inside the ruin of his own body. Then it was gone, swallowed by whatever poison my brother had sunk into his veins.Seth's wail cut through the hallway before I even saw him."Where's my food?!"I tossed the greasy paper bag at his chest. He fumbled it, his outrage already b
Goodbye, my mate Chapter 266
Leah's POVThe night swallowed us whole, the city's jagged edges blurring into a smear of neon and shadow as Darren pushed the Harley Davidson to its limits. The truck roared behind us, a steel beast with headlights like twin moons—bloody and unblinking—bearing down to crush us. Its grill gnashed at the air, inches from the bike's rear wheel, and the ground trembled under its weight. I should've felt my pulse jackhammering, sweat beading on my scarred skin, but I didn't. Not with Darren."Hold on to me," he barked, voice cutting through the chaos like a blade. I obeyed, arms snaking around his waist, fingers digging into the leather of his jacket. My chest pressed against his back, and I twisted my head to glare at the truck. It lunged, a predator snapping at our heels, tires screeching as it mirrored our every move. The Harley drifted, sleek and feral, sliding through the streets like a shadow on water, while the truck thundered after us, relentless, clums
Goodbye, my mate Chapter 265
Leah's POVI went still, my gut twisting. Lucas. The name was a blade in my chest, rusted with old blood. I didn't answer, didn't trust my voice.Dr. Jafar pressed on, relentless. "He's got nothing left - his men were hunted down by Finn. There was no one left in his family. Only machines keep him ticking. When his mind clears, he calls for you, Leah. He was great once, towering. Now he's… this."He showed me a picture on his mobile.The figure sprawled on that hospital bed was a ruin - bandages coiled around him like chains, tubes jutting from his flesh, instruments humming their cold, indifferent song. Haggard. Withered. If Dr. Jafar hadn’t muttered Lucas' name, I'd never have known it was him.My mind lurched back, dragging me to the library where I first saw him. He slouched against a shelf, white shirt stretched tight over his broad chest, arms flexing with elegant, solid lines as he flipped through pages like they bored him. That
Goodbye, my mate Chapter 264
Leah's POVAs I walked out of the clinic, Dr. Jafar stood there, his white coat flapping like a tattered flag in the wind, his eyes pinning me with a gaze that felt too heavy, too knowing. He stepped closer, all stiff formality and quiet urgency, and I froze, my breath hitching."Your Highness," he said, his voice cutting through the dusk like a blade, "I came immediately after receiving your call."I tilted my head, letting a flicker of surprise twist my lips. "I thought you wouldn't come," I rasped, my tone dry as dust.He straightened, his jaw tightening. "In our medical school, we took oath. We swore to answer all Lycan calls. Besides…" His eyes softened, just for a heartbeat, "I very much hoped to see you, to confirm your well-being."I swallowed, the weight of his words sinking into me like claws. "I called because I wanted to know something about Leo," I said, forcing the name out, bitter and sharp. "I know you used to be his colleagu
Goodbye, my mate Chapter 263
Leah's POVI walked into the clinic, its low-key luxury pressing against me like a velvet glove hiding claws. The air bit at my skin, cool and sterile, a frail shield against the chaos clawing inside my chest. The place reeked of money - polished wood, soft lighting - but it couldn't drown out the stench of my own fear.I was halfway through the door when this security guard stepped in front of me, all stiff like he’d caught me trespassing. "Ma'am, may I ask who you are and why are you here?""Leah Winters, coming for Dr. Aspen Monk," I replied.He squinted at his clipboard, flipping pages like it was some top-secret file. "Uh… I don't see your appointment listed."Before I could answer, another guard - older, salt-and-pepper mustache - grabbed his elbow and jerked his chin toward the wall. "Winters Clinic," he muttered, like it was obvious. "This is Mrs. Winters. Her clinic."Kid turned beet red. "Oh, shit. I mean, sorry, Mrs.

Leah's POVLiam's jaw clenched, but he didn't answer. He turned to me instead, softening just enough. "You okay?"I nodded, shaky, pulling my clothes straight. "I'm fine," I lied, voice thin.But Darren lunged, grabbing Liam's collar. "Did you fuck her?" he growled, teeth bared.Liam shoved him off, hard. "That's not your business," he shot back. "But touch her again, and I'll rip your throat out."The air crackled, thick with threat. Darren's fists balled, ready to strike, but I stepped between them, trembling but firm. "Stop," I said, louder than I felt. "Both of you."Darren's eyes met mine, hurt bleeding through the rage. "Leah…"I shook my head, tears streaming now. "You need to leave, Liam."He blinked, stunned. "What?""You're fired," I said, forcing the words out, cold and sharp. "Get out. For real this time."Liam's face crumpled, pain flashing raw in his eyes. "Boss, you can't mean that. After eve
Goodbye, my mate Chapter 261
Leah's POVThe next morning, I woke to a bed that felt too big, too empty. The sheets beside me were cold, the imprint of Darren's body gone like he'd never been there at all. My chest tightened, a jagged panic slicing through me. The moon's bloody glare from last night still lingered in my mind, and now this—him missing again. I bolted upright, heart slamming against my ribs, sweat beading on my scarred skin. Those marks from the slave market itched, a reminder of chains I'd never fully shed. He couldn't be gone. Not after everything.I stumbled out of bed, bare feet hitting the floorboards with a slap that echoed in the too-quiet house. My breath came fast, shallow, as I tore down the stairs, the ache in my bones screaming from the night before. A clatter drifted up from below—metal on metal, faint but real. My pulse stuttered. Maybe he hadn't left me. Maybe he was still mine.The kitchen doorway loomed ahead, and I caught the scent first—gre
