Mated To My Enemy's Rival Chapter 87: The Sweetest Surrender
The wet heat of her tears seared straight through the linen bandages on my chest, but I didn't care.I held her. I wrapped my arms around her trembling frame, burying my face into the crook of her neck, and I simply held the woman who had dragged me out of the dark. And for a long, fragile moment, the world outside the oak doors of the West Wing ceased to exist. There was no Jarek bleeding out in the dungeons. There was no Viktor Varkas waiting in the southern mountains. There was only Cassandra—my Cassandra, her fingers curled desperately into the fabric of my ruined tunic, crying into my skin.It was incredibly sweet.For the first time in fifteen years, the suffocating weight of being the Alpha of the Blackthorne pack seemed to completely vanish from my shoulders. Her scent washed over me, drowning out the lingering, toxic stench of the Grave-Brier gas that had coated my lungs. I closed my eyes, letting my cheek rest against her dark hair, perfectly content to stay anc
Mated To My Enemy's Rival Chapter 86: Letting the Storm Rest
<Cassandra>The carriage ride back to the Manor was nothing but a blur of frantic terror and blinding pain.I lay across one bench, my head resting on Gideon’s cloak, while Dominic was sprawled across the opposite seat. His breathing was terribly shallow, a faint, sickly wheeze rattling in his chest with every intake of air. I kept reaching my hand across the narrow aisle, my fingers desperately clinging to his cold hand, refusing to let go until the carriage finally rattled to a halt on the Manor cobblestones.The entire household was waiting.The moment the doors opened, it was absolute chaos. Guards shouted orders, servants scattered to fetch hot water, and I was lifted out
Mated To My Enemy's Rival Chapter 85: Escaping
Even in my paralyzed state, I wished there was something I could do to help.Every agonizing step Dominic took up the pitch-black spiraling stone stairs sent a violent shudder through his broad chest, and I felt every single one of them vibrate against my own ribs. He was holding me tightly against him, my legs completely dead and useless from the venom, while his other hand gripped the heavy iron chain dragging Elder Jarek’s unconscious body behind us.The hissing of the Grave-Brier gas below was growing fainter, but the toxic burn in my throat was a terrifying and constant reminder of what was climbing up the stairs right on our heels."Dominic," I rasped, my voice barely a cracked whisper. "You have to... drop him. You can't carry us both.""I am not leaving him," Dominic growled through gritted teeth.His chest heaved with a sickening, wet rattle. The blood from his torn ribs was soaking straight through my ruined grey dress, slick and hot against my skin. He was opera
Mated To My Enemy's Rival Chapter 84: Fighting for My Mate
'Shift,' my mind screamed. 'Shift now!'I didn't have the breath to roar. I just threw my entire consciousness into my beast, forcing the change through the suffocating pain of the poison.My bones cracked violently, as an agonizing shift tore at my already bleeding flesh. I hit the stone floor on four paws just as Jarek’s massive grey form slammed into me.The impact was like getting hit by a freight train.We rolled across the cavern floor, a chaotic tangle of teeth, claws, and blood. I snapped my jaws, aiming for his throat, but my movements were sluggish. The Grave-Brier gas was heavy in my lungs, dulling my reflexes, turning my limbs into lead.Jarek’s jaws clamped down hard on my left shoulder, his fangs sinking deep into the muscle. I let out a feral snarl, twisting my body violently to shake him off, my hind legs kicking up and raking across his stomach. He tore free, ripping a chunk of flesh from my shoulder, and threw me backward.I crashed hard against a stone pil
Mated To My Enemy's Rival Chapter 83: Purging the Weakness
The sound echoed off the damp walls of the catacombs, a heavy, reverberating directly against the base of my spine. I didn't feel the burning in my lungs anymore, or the toxic sting of the Grave-Brier lingering in the air.I just followed the sound.My bare, blood-stained feet hit the damp rock without making a sound as I moved through the labyrinth of ancient tombs and crumbled altars. The golden thread in my chest was pulling so hard it felt like it was going to rip my heart right out of my sternum.I went around a massive, crumbling pillar, the sickly green glow of the braziers casting long, dancing shadows across the floor.And then, I saw them.My feet immediately stopped dead, and the air in the cavern vanished completely.Elder Jarek was walking toward a raised stone altar at the far end of the chamber. He had shed his dark council robes, wearing only a plain black tunic, his white hair plastered to his forehead with sweat. His face was a mask of cold cruelty as he gr
Mated To My Enemy's Rival Chapter 82: The Catacombs
I reached the bottom of the stairs, stepping onto a flat, muddy cavern floor. The tunnel was claustrophobic, the jagged stone ceiling scraping against my bare shoulders. Faint, sickly green light began to pulse from the walls up ahead—Grave-Brier resin smeared onto torches to light the way.I moved silently, keeping my back to the wall, letting the bond guide me carefully through the winding subterranean maze.I turned a corner, and the tunnel abruptly widened into a small, circular antechamber. Blocking the only exit was a massive, rusted iron portcullis. And standing in front of the heavy gate were two of the most grotesque things I had ever seen.They were shifters, but they looked like they had been experimented on. Their bodies were unnaturally swollen, muscles bulging erratically beneath patchy, diseased fur. Their eyes glowed with a toxic, sickly green hue, mindless and feral, completely stripped of any human consciousness. Jarek—or the hooded figure—had clearly been
