Jasmine’s POV~

I was sitting in my dorm, a low, dim light from my desk lamp casting sinister-looking shadows around the room, the USB drive’s betrayal creating a hole in my conscience. I felt less guilty — I’d given some to Elara — but a little part of it remained, a dull ache in my chest. I’d given them evidence that could ruin my father, the one who’d brought me up, the one who’d held my sister when rogues had taken her from us. And when I closed my eyes, he was there in my head, his smiling face finally confrontational, his proud nodding at pack meetings transformed by the files that had tied him to Silver Veil, to liquid silver, to Gideon’s shooting.

I felt guilt squeezing my heart, whispering that I betrayed my family, my pack, my blood. But the truth was tearing me apart, a string I couldn’t stop tugging.

I was haunted with guilt and this went on for days, affecting how I led my everyday life. Standing by the coffee machine in the campus cafeteria this morning; I’d stood with

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Fifty Eight

    Jasmine’s POV~I was crouched in the back room of the casino, my knees against the cold tile, my breath coming in short, ragged pants. Elara was next to me, moving quickly and silently as we dug through files in Dad's office. My heart pounded, every beat felt like a scream to flee, to abandon these foolish plans. I felt a little bit of sweat sliding down my neck while my hands shook as they handled the papers. I was betraying Dad — Elder Tyler, my father, the man who had taught me to ride a bike, who had wept with me when rogues took my sister away. But it had been his secrets, his voice scared me with “Gideon’s daughter is next,” that had brought me here, to this den of lies, with Elara up there, his only target, following a truth that could condemn us both.Our infiltration was a risk, plotted in the park’s shadows, and  it felt like a nightmare to pull off. We had left, Elara’s eyes filled with purpose, mine dulled with fear. She’d gotten uniforms from the casino’s laundry service,

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Fifty Seven

    Damien’s POVThe Silver Crescent Casino stilled in the dark against the moonless sky. I paced around the perimeters of its grounds, every one of my wolf senses working with an unnerving sharpness. I could hear every whisper of leaves or far-off car horns slicing through the night. Caspian’s warning of Julian’s ambush by midnight, loading docks, and silencers were about to go down, and I stood ready. My boots crunched on the gravel as I crossed the open space in the shadows, my breathing slow and regular, my heart beating heavily in anticipation of what was about to happen next. I thought of Elara as I vowed to keep her safe. A movement caught my eye, and I was jolted from the daydream as my wolf growled to alertness. I ducked behind a rusted dumpster, my hunched body zoning in on a silhouette figure walking into the alley—a Bloodhound scout, the gang’s slim breed, his thin build clad in the pack’s leather uniform, with a red claw arrow to the arm. He didn’t notice me, as he was distr

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Fifty Six

    Sabrina’s POV:The door to my hostel room was locked, and the thin walls made every creak in the hallway echo. My heart beat frantically like a drum, as Caspian’s words repeated in my head—You're not telling me everything, sis. His watchful gray eyes had been like needles, pushing my disguise away, and now the mask was gone. I paced around the stuffy room, my boots sticking as they touched the dingy carpet, and my hands shaking as I clutched my phone. The smug satisfaction of leaking all of Rosa’s journals to the police, what I wanted all along, was gone now, replaced by a growing fear. Caspian was wise, and if he got his hands on the evidence—of my fake papers, of my connections to Julian, of my involvement in Gideon's attack, I’d lose everything. My brother, my pack, and my chance with Damien.I caught my breath, glancing out the window, half hoping to see Caspian’s shadow striding across the quad outside. I had always been the clever one, making up lies as if they were easy, but hi

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Fifty Five

    Elara’s POV~I didn’t leave my dorm, the pack’s stares and whispers wounding me more entirely each day. “Traitor,” they hissed in the cafeteria, eyes cold, tables emptying as I walked by. My dorm room, where I’d sought refuge, had turned into a cage, walls closing in. I was seated on my bed now, the mattress creaking, my notebook open but blank, its pages a chart of half-truths about Silver Veil, liquid silver and the shooting of Dad.In need of some kind of lifeline, I searched Mom’s old letters, kept in a shoebox under my bed, their edges yellowing, her elegant script the thread back to the family I’d lost. I had read them before, but tonight there was no one on campus, and my hope was unraveling — I was seeking something, anything, to touch for guidance. I skimmed my fingers over a letter folded at the bottom, its envelope void of a return address, the paper crisp as if still unused. I opened it, my breath hitching. Written a year before Mom and Dad died, it was to her sister, Aun

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Fifty Four

    Caspian’s POVI was sitting in my truck, the engine running, in an empty lot near the campus, the defector’s words loud and clear. The Bloodhound scout, a wiry kid named Vance, blabbed everything, his voice shaking, when he came to meet me beneath a flickering streetlight. I’d caught him passing intelligence to a Vellex contact, and a fast threat—my fist hovering at his jaw—had him singing. “Julian’s laid an ambush,” he had stammered, sweat breaking on his brow. “Casino loading docks, midnight, tomorrow. They’re going for Damien’s patrol – they’re after him – silencers, five of them. It’s a kill box.” My blood turned cold. Damien was walking into a trap. I drove out of the lot, my tires screeching, my heart thumping, as I drove at breakneck speed to Damian’s office in the night air that cut sharply through my open window.The school’s admin building felt like a trap, its halls dark as I stormed down to Damien’s office, my footsteps cracking the sullen silence. I didn’t even knock on t

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Fifty Three

    Julian’s POV~I propped myself up on my car, outside of the Silver Crescent Casino, the neon signs turning the night garish shades of red and gold. Cigarette smoke was thick in the air. Elara’s continued exile was good news to me—Vellex turned their backs on her, calling her a “traitor” in hushed whispers that followed her in the hallways, their glares stabbing her. My rumors, planted in Sabrina’s gossip and that forged document, had done their job, running wild. Damien was flying apart, his gray eyes hunted, his attention split as he fought to protect her. I had outmaneuvered him, and I felt it in my body, the thrill of that wound through me, sharp and electric. Elara was losing him, and I was prepared to take her—her thanks, her heart, her body.I grabbed my phone and started texting Sabrina: Plant another email tonight. Tie Elara to Silver Veil. No mistakes. I replied in short sentences, a lead to let her know who was still in charge. Her suspicions were mounting — I’d seen them i

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Fifty One

    Sabrina’s POVI was in the campus quad, crushing fall leaves beneath my boot, my lips turned up in a wry grin as pack members murmured about Elara’s “betrayal.” I listened to them whisper and call her a traitor, unreliable—and it sounded like sweet music in my ears. Everything began to shake and crumble, Elara’s head buried in her hands, her name mud in the Vellex Pack. My plan, built on Julian’s scheming, was coming together. I’d arranged for Gideon to be shot, I’d framed Elara with the faked document, and Rosa’s arrest was a perfect counter-distraction. But Julian’s kiss at the Rusty Claw remained, not as sweetness but as a leash, his attraction a calculated maneuver to maintain the upper hand with me. Heh, I wasn’t his toy—I require leverage, something to grasp me tight to this game. Tonight was my chance to solidify Rosa as the person who shot Gideon.If I could find evidence, something solid, it would mean a conviction against her, and it would keep all suspicion away from me.

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Fifty

    Elara’s POV~The sound of knocking on my dorm room door jolted me — sharp and urgent in the still of the night. A chill rippled through me, and suddenly, I stopped mid-writing, my notebook falling away from my lap. I’d been on edge all day, the forged treason document a weight I couldn’t shake. I shuffled to the door, my feet aching against the chilled wood, and looked through the peephole. Jasmine was there dark hair, wide-eyed with fear, clenching her purse. Surprise washed over me — Jasmine, at my door? She’d kept her distance from me after the café, her allegiance to her father obvious. What was she doing here?I waited, unsure, and then I opened the door, my greeting tentative. “Jasmine? What’s wrong?” She flinched, looking down the hall, breathing in uneven gasps.“I have to talk,” she said in a whisper, her voice breaking. “Elara, please let me inside.” Her terror washed over me. I moved to the side to usher her in, the dim lamplight of my dorm room playing shadows on her white
