Talia's POV

Mrs. Alanna had been talking for ten straight minutes.

Something about posture. Presence. How a Luna should enter a room, how she should hold silence, how every breath I took should apparently inspire loyalty and fear in equal measure.

Luna duties this. Luna duties that.

Give me a break.

I nodded in all the right places, murmured acknowledgements when expected, but my attention was nowhere near her voice. It was locked onto the mate bond—tight, volatile, pulsing with something sharp and angry that made my skin prickle.

Cassian.

Whatever the council had dragged him into, it wasn't good. I could feel it bleeding through the bond in jagged waves—controlled rage, restraint stretched too thin. It made my chest ache.

I was half-slumped in the chair by the time my eyelids started drooping, exhaustion finally catching up to me. I was just about to give in to it when the air shifted.

I felt him before I saw him.

Cassian stepped into view, tall, imposing, jaw set

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me   Chapter 175: Stay

    Nicole’s POVAfter hours of contemplating, here I stood—parked in front of the towering iron gates of the Shadowveil Pack.I sighed, resting my forehead briefly against the steering wheel. What exactly was I doing here?I didn’t know. I just knew I couldn’t turn around.The gates were massive, wrought iron twisted into sharp, elegant curves that screamed keep out. The forest behind them loomed dark and thick, shadows curling around the perimeter like they were alive.“Who’re you?”I didn’t even flinch.Of course, my car was being tailed. I’d sensed them long before they thought they were clever enough to sense me. If these were the warriors the Alpha assigned to border patrol, then Shadowveil had a bigger problem than outsiders.I stayed quiet a second too long.I felt the shift before I saw it—the guard moving, muscles coiling, hand reaching for a weapon.I stepped out of the car and turned just in time, releasing only a brush of my wolf. Not a full threat. Just enough.He froze.Eye

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me   Chapter 174: she’s here.

    Talia’s POVThis time, I didn't hesitate or wonder. I followed the scent.It tugged at me gently at first, like a thread wrapped around my ribs, pulling me forward one careful step at a time. I wasn’t uneasy this time, I was… confident, curious, eager. I needed to know who or what it was, why it was always around when strange happened. If it was connected to the council. I kept my head down and my steps light as I moved past the edge of the training grounds, away from the noise and the watchful eyes. No one stopped me. No one noticed. Or maybe they did—and chose not to.Good.The scent grew stronger the farther I went, leading me around the back of the pack house where the stone paths cracked into dirt and roots pushed through the ground like veins. The building loomed behind me now, tall and imposing, but its presence faded quickly as the trees thickened.The woods.Of course it was the woods.Every terrible, life-altering thing in my life mostly seemed to start in the damn woods.

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me   Chapter 173: lonely

    Talia's POVI stared at the white ceiling above. The house felt emptier, lonelier. Cassian was busy with Alpha duties, Nicole was outside the pack doing Beta duties. Mrs Alanna was out doing goddess knows what with warriors. Alpha Black was far away. And the omegas hate my guts and believe I killed my sister out of jealousy. I felt bored out of my mind, and useless. The bathroom was still messy with broken glass, evidence of what I'd done earlier. It was both terrifying and exciting. I got out of bed, needing to do something, to train perhaps, or continue my research on my powers. First, I'd need to find Mrs Alanna. She'd know exactly where to find my assigned trainer. I slipped on a hoodie and padded out of the room, careful to avoid the bathroom. I wasn't ready to look at the mess again—not the glass. The house echoed as I walked, every footstep too loud, too noticeable in the quiet.Useless.Restless.That was a dangerous combination.The pack house smelled different as I walk

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me   Chapter 172: I’m leaving

    Nicole's POVThe room was submerged in darkness, the only source of light was the sunlight bleeding through the curtains. I didn't bother with the light; I went straight to the bathroom, where Talia was. Her voice had sounded fractured, strained, giving off an impression of urgency. But when my ears finally caught her heartbeat, it wasn't as erratic as I expected it. No—it was calm. It was too calm. Calmer than normal. "Talia?" The soft click of the door unlocking was what I got in response. I turned the knob, pushing the door open tentatively. I froze at the sight in front of me. The bathroom was barely recognisable. Shards of mirror hovered in midair, suspended as if frozen in time. The glass gleamed like a constellation caught in a single heartbeat, trembling ever so slightly.Talia stood at the centre, her chest rising and falling rapidly, her hands trembling—but there was a light in her eyes I didn't understand. Something fierce, something not entirely human or wolf.The

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me   Chapter 171: leave the pack

    Nicole's POV"She doesn't get to." He responded, his eyes hardening. "She doesn't get to do this to us twice."I sighed, taking the seat opposite him. "What's the plan?" He leaned back in his seat, drumming his fingers on the table. He hesitated—for just a moment—then spoke, his voice low, unguarded. "What if she's not after us? What if she escaped to go somewhere else?"That desperate hope clung to him like a vice—tight, suffocating, impossible to shake. I'd thought of it too, considering the fact that she could've changed, could've let go of the darkness. But I knew better. People don't change overnight. Especially not Kira. Her hatred for Talia was too intense, too consuming. It had eaten her alive until there was no humanity left. She'd betrayed her pack, betrayed her bed friends without remorse. So no, I didn't believe she'd changed. "She hates your mate too much to do that." His eyes hardened, his shoulders tensing as if the reminder alone was a blow. "Yeah." He nodded,

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me   Chapter 170: I didn’t do anything.

    Talia’s POV The sensation spread slowly, like a vibration under my skin—deep in my chest, pulsing outward in steady waves. Not painful. Not exactly pleasant either. Unfamiliar. I pressed a hand to my sternum, breath hitching. "What is that...?" I whispered. The bond flared faintly, reactive but distant—Cassian was already too far away to feel it clearly. The hum grew stronger. My skin prickled, goosebumps racing up my arms. The lights above flickered once. I froze. My pulse thundered in my ears as the vibration deepened, settling into my bones. It felt ancient. Heavy. Like something stretching awake after a long sleep. It was almost like that day at the bakery. I wasn't angry anymore. I was overwhelmed. My thoughts tangled, emotions crashing into one another—fear folding into grief, grief into rage, rage into something sharp and unyielding. I am not weak. The mirror across from me cracked. Just a thin line at first, spidering outward from the centre. I
