Mate Rebound Chapter Twenty Nine
Caspian’s POV~I was sitting in my father’s study, the smell of old leather and cigar smoke wrapping around me. The room was a place where Vellex Pack tactics were plotted. Father was seated at the table’s head with his broad back bent over a map of our territory, pointing to the jagged line where the Bloodhound Pack had been taunting our borders. His voice was rumbling, listing new defenses — patrols, surveillance, but I kept thinking back, to the hospital scene days before.“Caspian,” Savire barked, pulling me back. His gray eyes, which were so much like mine, squinted. “You’re distracted. If you’re not here to work, then you’re of no good to me.”I sat back and raked my fingers through my hair. “I’m here, Dad. Just … thinking about the shooting. The attack on Gideon was not random. It has Julian written all over it.” I was concerned about the shooting, yeah, but it was Damien’s focus on Elara that wore me down. I respected her, but Damien’s obsession was distracting him from the jo

Jasmine’s POV~I was sitting cross-legged on the bed in my dorm room, my laptop on. The room was a mess — books stacked on the desk, clothes spilling from an open drawer — but my attention was locked on the screen as I scrolled through my father’s old emails. I had hacked into his account months ago, a distrustful act, but I had never dug this deep. And that changed after meeting Elara at the Café. Her desperate outburst had triggered something in me—a curiosity I couldn’t put to rest, something that made me doubt everything I thought I knew about my father.Elara’s words echoed in my head. My dad’s shooting wasn’t random. It’s related to the pack business, maybe something your father did. I’d turned her away, my loyalty to Dad flaring, but the words were liquid silver. Silver was a final weapon, a poison for traitors or foes too dangerous to kill in a fair fight. To think that my dad might be in any way connected to such a thing was preposterous. And yet here I was, breaking his trus

Elara's POV:The sharp pain in my chest came out of nowhere, wrenching a gasp from my lips as I stepped out of my bed. The world seemed to tilt, and my trembling hands reached for my phone on the nightstand. My mate, the man I’d given my heart to, was the only person I could think of in that moment of pain. My fingers shook as I pressed his number."Please, Damien… Please pick up," I whispered hoarsely. My voice barely rose above a breath. The line kept ringing. But he didn't answer.Tears blurred my vision as I dropped the phone on the bed. I pressed my hand against my chest, begging the pain to subside, but it only grew worse. I needed help. Summoning what little strength I had, I dragged myself to the door."Is anyone there?" I called out weakly. Silence greeted me. The Packhouse was unusually quiet, as if the world itself had turned its back on me.I gritted my teeth and stumbled into the hallway, clutching the wall for support. Every step felt like a battle, the pain radiating f

Elara's POV:The door swung open with force, the wood slamming against the wall as Damien stormed into the room. His icy glare bore into me. “What audacity do you have to barge into my study like that?” He growled.I stood there, trembling but. My heart felt as though it might shatter, but I couldn’t let him see my fear. Not now. “What has gotten into you, Damien?” I demanded, my voice shaking. “You were never like this. How could you ignore me for days? How could you… how could you cheat on me?”His lips twisted into a bitter smile, his eyes filled with disdain. “Me? Cheat on you? You’re so selfish, Elara.” His words dripped venom, and it took all my strength not to flinch. “I gave you everything—a family, a pack, power. But you couldn’t even let me have my own happiness.”I blinked, stunned by his words. The man I loved, my mate, was unrecognizable. “So she makes you happy, but I don’t?” I whispered, my voice barely audible.“Yes, she does.”My legs wobbled, and I clutched the edge

Elara's POV:I continued to breathe in and out as I locked eyes once again with my husband, Alpha Damien. His gaze, usually filled with warmth, was now filled with hatred. The warmth had left his eyes, leaving only coldness as he glared down at me. Damien accused me of killing his unborn child, the future Alpha of the Vellex Pack.The accusation was baseless; I did not take any poisonous herbs that could cause my miscarriage. I was innocent, but no one believed me. I wanted to scream this out badly, but my throat was dry and weak. From all the hours I had spent locked up in my room till now, not a single drop of water has landed on my lips.I glanced down at my bare feet, caked with mud and blood. Then to my palms, which were stained with the blood that had dripped from my head after villagers hurled insults, curses and stones at me. I could still feel the sting of the stones, and the icy cold of the rain made it worse.My parents died four years ago, three days after my first shif

Elara’s POV:“Wake up, Ely.” The faint sound of someone calling out to me stirred me.Who is calling me? I wondered, genuinely confused. My mind felt clouded, like I was stuck between two worlds.A sharp tap on my shoulder jolted me, followed by a louder yell. “Girl, seriously!”“Elara Jordan Jules, wake up this instant!”My eyes flew open, and I shot up, panting as though I had run a marathon. Blinking rapidly, I looked around, my heart racing. Before me stood my father, Gideon Jules, my mother, Winifred Jules, and Sabrina Duke, my mother’s best friend’s daughter.I froze. What’s this? What’s going on? Was it all a dream? Tears welled up in my eyes as I slid out of bed, unable to contain myself. I ran to my mother, wrapping my arms tightly around her. “Mom, I’ve missed you so much.” I whispered, my voice breaking.Then I turned to my father and hugged him just as tight. “Why did you both leave me?”My father chuckled, patting my back gently. “Are you this happy about turning 18?

Damien's POV:I stood frozen as my hands trembled, the gun still in my grasp. My eyes were locked on her body, lying lifelessly on the floor in a pool of blood. Her eyes were closed, her once vibrant skin now pale and cold. I couldn’t believe it. This couldn’t be real.What have I done?The gun slipped from my hand and hit the ground with a dull thud. Cold shivers ran through his body. Pain exploded behind my skull. My breath hitched, and before I knew it, I was screaming—screaming as if that would somehow stop the agony ripping through my head. I clutched my head with both hands, fingers digging into my temples as if it could force the pain away. But it didn’t stop.“Damien.” Caspian’s voice came through. He rushed to my side, but I shoved him away with all the strength I could muster.“Get away from me.” I growled, my voice rough and unrecognizable. I wasn’t sure who I was anymore. The world was spinning around me, but my focus was solely on the woman I had just... murdered.Sabr

Mate Rebound Chapter Thirty Eight
Julian’s POV~I was in our packhouse, where my father, Alpha Roland, paced back and forth in front of the large oak table. He spoke in a quiet growl as he described what the pack had to do next. Maps of Vellex territory stretched across the table, red lines with green dots reaching toward their borders. His plan was straightforward. Invade, challenge and take whatever we could before Damien’s pack could respond. But my mind was not on the maps, the plans, or the strategies that lay before me. It was on Elara Blackwood, her face constantly flickering into my thoughts.“Julian,” my father snapped, and his dark eyes shook me in place. “Are you listening? This isn’t a game. The Vellex Pack is weak, distracted by Gideon’s gunfire. Damien’s busy playing hero.” His lip curled, his words laced with scorn. He’d never respected Damien, never seen him as anything but a soft-headed fool who’d valued honor above power.I nodded, trying to pull my attention to him. “I am listening,” I said. “But Da
Mate Rebound Chapter Thirty Seven
Elara’s POV~Dad seemed stronger this morning, his cheeks were less swollen, and his eyes somewhat brighter. Yet there was still such a frailty to him that it twisted my heart.I held onto my notebook whose well-worn pages contained remnants of my former life and clues I’d assembled in this one. I’d come to see how he was, but also to dig for answers — answers about the shooting, about the poison, about the shadows that had followed me through two lifetimes. My parents’ deaths had been passed off as an accident in my past life, but I’d eavesdropped on their whispers of liquid silver, just like the poison that most recently almost claimed Dad. I couldn’t leave it alone, not when every instinct told me that the truth was close by somewhere.Dad,” I said, wrapping my hands around his hand and placing my notebook on my lap. “You look better today.” I smiled, but my heart raced with the question I was about to ask.His hand squeezed mine gently and he laughed feebly. “Better’s relative, ki
Mate Rebound Chapter Thirty Six
Sabrina’s POV~I walked up and down the grimy carpet of my hostel room, with anger rushing through my veins.Elara’s name seared in my mind.Her father’s crisis had propelled her to somehow manage to be the center of everyone’s attention—Damien’s, Caspian’s, and even Julian’s—and I hated her for it. I had gone to the hospital yesterday, thinking that I could be a supportive friend, one who showed her that I was there for her, even though I didn't care an inch. But before I could even get into her dad's ward, I’d spotted him—Damien, leaning on the hallway wall, his eyes pinning Elara with an intensity that had my stomach rolling. I had turned on my heel and walked out, my nails digging into my palms as I left. She stole everything, and I had had enough of playing nice.I was no longer stalking, but standing with my fingers curling the side of my desk, the mirror that leaned against five textbooks staring back at my reflection. My hair? Perfect. My makeup? Flawless; but it didn’t matter
Mate Rebound Chapter Thirty Five
Damien’s POV~I leaned against the cold hospital wall, my arms crossed, trying to still myself against the storm turning in my chest.I knew that Gideon would make it out okay, Mara’s expertise had brought him back from the edge and the fact we’d won should have made him feel lighter. But it didn’t. Elara’s decision to allow Julian’s healer, Torren, to go in first haunted me. Her hug, if it could even be called that after Mara’s victory stayed in my head. But now that cold distance, the way she avoided my eyes, hurt. It had been a reflection of the betrayal of my previous life when I killed her with my own hands.I balled my hands into fists as I struggled to keep my wolf at bay.I was haunted by the memory of that other life, Elara’s lifeless body the pool of blood beneath her and the warm gun in my hand. I’d awoken from that nightmare with a chance to rectify my sins. I’d promised to defend her, to compensate, and yet, here I was, standing outside of her world, watching her fade.
Mate Rebound Chapter Thirty Four
Elara’s POV~When his eyelids fluttered, and finally opened to reveal those hazel eyes so much like my own, joy surged within me. "Elara," he murmured, his voice course. A feeble grin strained his lips and hot, brimming tears pricked at my eyes.“Dad,” I gasped, my grip around his hand tightening almost as if I could force all of my strength into him. “You’re awake. You’re here.” My voice trembled, reflecting an awkward half-relief and the absurd, crushing gravity of everything I’d labored to alter in this reincarnated life. I’d lost him — and Mom — three days after my eighteenth birthday in my previous life. But here he was, alive, breathing, because I’d reincarnated back from death to rewrite my destiny.He grinned, but it was with much effort. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost, kiddo.” His sad little stab at humor shattered something inside me, and I laughed, the sound dissolving into a sob. I leaned my forehead to his hand, and let the tears drench his skin, while I trembled a
Mate Rebound Chapter Thirty Three
Elara's POV~The hospital room was silent except for the constant beep of the monitor keeping track of my father’s heartbeat. I sat next to his bed, my hand laid lightly on his, his skin warm but too pale still. Not that he was awake yet, but the doctors and Mara, had assured us he was healing. The poison was out, and the bullet wound healed by his werewolf ability and Mara’s expertise. I watched his chest rise and fall slowly, the relief fighting with the fear that wouldn’t just go. He’d been so close to death, and the thought of losing him — losing the father I’d struggled so hard to save in this new life — made my throat hard.I pulled the blanket up over him, wrapping it around his shoulders, my hands moving slowly and deliberately. Each second I spent here, taking care of him, was a mini triumph, a rebellion against the death that was attempting to steal him away from me. But as I smoothed the fabric, my mind wandered to Damien. I couldn’t stop thinking about him — his determinat
Mate Rebound Chapter Thirty Two
Julian's POV~The news of Elara’s father being shot came to me as a gift. The topic had come up in a pack meeting with a coworker of Gideon Jules', and I finally heard they needed a healer. I didn’t give a shit about Gideon, not really, but Elara—Elara was everything. If I could swoop in and be the hero and upstage Damien, I’d have her thanks, maybe even her heart. I called Healer Torren, a devoted servant of my family’s pack, and hurried to the hospital, my mind racing through the possibilities. And this was my chance to show I was better than Damien, to show Elara who she could trust.The look on Damien’s face, when I arrived with Torren, made every second of the rushed trip worth it. His eyes widened, then narrowed, his jaw tightening as he searched for the right response, for the right arrangement of words that conveyed that I’d gotten there before him. Elara’s gratitude, her gentle, soft “Thank you,” was music, and I squealed in the way Damien’s forced smile didn’t touch his eyes
