Damien POV~

The flickering light of my computer screen saturated the jumbled books, records and paper in my crowded office, the line of our stock chart at Vakette Industries was dropping badly. The red lines jagged down, each swoop evidence of my failure. I sat back in the creaking leather chair, my tie loosened, the weight of bankruptcy heavy on my chest. Five years ago, I’d taken over the CEO position at Vakette not because I deserved it, but because I’d married into the role—on Natasha’s twenty-fifth birthday, no less, a pretty little bow on an inheritance from her father, Waylen Anderson, a restraint placed with gold ropes and handed to me. She’d stood in this exact office, coldly noting, “You’re welcome, Dmitri. Don’t screw it up.” I’d been nodding, ambition had blinded me, and I’d thought that Vakette, lowly Vakette in Wyruin, might be my empire. Now it was crumbling —

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Sixty Seven

    Elara's POV~I sat in my room, the air heavy with the scent of old coffee and the tang of fear, my laptop glowing with Tyler’s ledgers of photographic evidence. Phase Reassigned – vessel – Verses of Caspian’s ledger echoed through my mind, like a toxin seeping through my thoughts. Jasmine’s warning — Tyler’s hit was targeting me — clawed at my collarbones, but I was thankful that my parents were still living this reborn life. I was trembling as I closed the laptop, my pulse a frantic drumbeat. I had questions and Caspian had all the answers.Slipping through the stone corridors of Vellex, the force of my suspicions weighed heavily on my ribs. The room was a castle of maps and arms, and Caspian was in the midst of it, a still, gray-eyed figure standing at a table, alert but tired. I banged the door shut and my voice sliced through the quiet. “Caspian, what’s ‘vessel’? The ledger — you know more than you are saying. Tell me, now.”He tensed, jaw muscles clenched, but didn’t turn his eye

    Julian’s POV~Darkness.The first thing I noticed was the air — thick and choking, the kind you feel pressing against your eyelids even when they are open. My head ached, a steady pulse deep inside my skull that reached from my neck up my shoulder. I attempted to move, and cold metal sank into my wrists. Silver cuffs.I blew out hard from my nose, trying to break the bindings. The chains rattled, the noise racketing in the silence. My wolf should have been able to do it—I wanted to imagine it snarling at the insult of the rip, ripping against the poison in the metal—but there was nothing. Just silence. A yawning, hollow blackness in the space where my energy should've been.Where are you? I delved deep within in search of my wolf’s comforting fire, the rumbling growl that all but lived in my bones. Nothing answered.The sedative. It had to be.I spread my fingers, trying to bring feeling into them. The ground I rested my back on was cold, hard concrete, slightly damp with something I

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Sixty Four

    Jasmine’s POV~I stood in my dorm, the dim light from my desk lamp creating long shadows against the pictures of Dad’s ledgers, the numbers a scorching truth: Tyler, my father, was a traitor, maybe even a murderer. My hands shook, my chest filled with grief, as thoughts swirled around me so thick and fast that I could not see my surroundings, walls of my small room closing all about, just as I wanted to close off all from the unwelcome world outside. I had betrayed him, by taking those pictures with Elara. My phone vibrated, Elara’s name flashing and I picked up, barely able to speak. “Elara, what’s happened?”Even as my head was fogged, her voice was calm but desperate. “Jasmine, I met Rosa at the station. It had been true––my dad's death was a kill order from Tyler. She’d heard him, saying that Gideon was too close to the silver. We’re right there, but it’s risky. Tyler’s not just a part of it. Jasmine, he’s at the forefront of it.”I fell on my bed and my legs gave way, and warm si

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Sixty Three

    Damien’s POV~I knelt in the shadows of the casino, as I got ready for my counterstrike. Caspian’s caution and the recon I had done within the warehouse had brought me, my ten Vellex werewolves patrolling the alleys, armed with silencers, and silvered blades out from their shadows, set to turn Julian’s trap back on him. I’d come across a Bloodhound ledger last night, which had slipped from a scout’s pocket during a skirmish outside a nightclub close to the back entrance of the casino. Its pages, stained and encoded, were ample evidence that Tyler worked in the silver trade — shipments of liquid silver, payments to Silver Veil, signed with his initials. I had felt rage surging through my veins. Elara was right to suspect him, her senses were sharper than mine and I even though I should’ve listened to my instinct. I sent her a text from the burner phone, my thumbs steady: Stay out of the casino. Tyler’s neck deep with Silver Veil. I’ve got Julian tonight. There was no response, and my

    Sabrina’s POV~I was in my hostel room, the door locked, the silence suffocating, as Caspian’s words — You’ve broken us — sliced through me.My hands shook, my chest aching with a panic that wouldn’t stop, my reflection in the broken mirror showed that of a girl— pale, red-eyed. He’d found the texts I’d sent to Julian, the coded message that linked me to the Crimson Fang frame job on Elara, and the look of betrayal in his eyes had gutted me. My brother, my rock, the one who’d bandaged my scraped knees and taught me how to shift, was now gazing at me as if I were a stranger, a traitor. I was shattered, my confidence broken, fear ripping and chewing inside of me like a wolf in a trap. If he informed the pack, if he shared those messages with Damien or the elders, I would be exiled, my name spat, and my chance with Damien’s heart turned to dust.I had begged him for hours, my voice raw, tears streaming down my face as I clutched his arm in our home after he confronted me. “Caspian, pleas

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Sixty One

    Elara’s POV~I sat in the quiet corner of the library. Jasmine’s pictures of Tyler’s ledgers glowed on the screen of my laptop, the damning numbers — Silver Veil shipments, liquid silver deals — splayed before me, a map to justice. Among them,  was the most cutting figure of all: Gideon Blackwood, my father, listed as a “problem” to be “neutralized,” dated for weeks before his shooting. It was evidence of Tyler’s betrayal, strong proof amid deceit that had labeled me as a traitor, but it was not sufficient enough. The pack’s whispers—Crimson Fang, spy—still haunted me, and it would take more than paper to clear my name. I was counting on a witness, a confession, a few words of irrefutable testimony to crack Tyler open and pull Dad free of the white, slick grip of the hospital.Jasmine sat at the table across from me, her navy overcoat slumped over the chair, her eyes blearily determined even though I could tell she was scared as hell. “Elara,” she began, so deliberate, “these ledgers

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Sixty

    Caspian’s POV~I was in the packhouse war room, filled heavy with tension, Damien’s revenge plan laid out on the oak table as if it were a battle map. His failure to be in the casino’s kill zone had cost lives so I’d heard -- some Vellex scout had eyed the Bloodhound men fleeing, silencers useless without anything to shoot at. Damien’s last-second detour, prompted by my warning of Julian’s trap, had scattered them, but the danger was far from over. Julian’s soldiers were hot on his trail, the search for Damien was never-ending, and I was overburdened by the pack. I was sitting at the head of a long mahogany table in our control room, my white-knuckled hands clenched around its edges as I organized patrols, barking instructions to our lieutenants. “Double the east of the casino. Eyes on every alley. Julian’s desperate now — he’s going to hit hard.” I held my voice steady, but my mind was racing, snagging on Sabrina. She’d been too quiet after our talk at home, her smirks replaced by gu

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Fifty Nine

    Julian’s POV~I was standing in the rear alley of the casino, the neon pulse of the Silver Crescent a distant throb in the night. My ambush was waiting, a trap laid in their path, my men were like wolves, hiding in the dark. Five of them—three squatting in the yard, two squatted on the fire escapes—lying silent in wait, their silencers gleaming, their eyes keen with hunger. It was predictable for Damien's patrols to pass by at midnight, and I could already taste the victory. I could feel my blood simmering at the joy of getting him off guard. I glanced at my men, my voice low but charged, grinning ear to ear. “This is it, boys. Damien’s stepping into a trap, and he’s unaware. We pull him out, and Vellex falls. Roland will be eating out of my hand and we’ll run this city.”My men smiled, their teeth flashing in the darkness, stealing from my faith. “He’s been running after that girl traitor like a dog,” I went on, pacing up and down the alley, dragging my boots along the cobbles. “Hi
