Cassian’s POV

The ink bled into the parchment in slow, deliberate strokes, but my mind wasn’t in the numbers or the signatures. It drifted.

Back to her.

Talia.

The way she’d stood earlier, stiff, guarded, trying so hard to mask curiosity under a layer of indifference, but her eyes always gave her away. They challenged me, questioned me, called me in ways I could not ignore.

I exhaled and pushed the paperwork away, leaning back in my chair. The office was quiet, save for the soft ticking of the old clock on the wall. Piles of documents lined the desk, most urgent: patrol shifts, territory reports, thankfully no rogue sightings. I should have been focused. The clock was bleeding away the little time I had left.

Two weeks.

Serena had given me two weeks to uncover the traitor. I was already behind.

And yet…

My mind kept circling back to the way Talia’s face softened when the pups ran to her. The way she tried to mask her laugh when she thought I wasn’t looking. The way she smelled, like w

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me    Chapter 121: I support you and Cassian.

    I woke up tense. The atmosphere felt heavy with what was coming. The first thing I did was to check on Cassian, but he was out, so I decided to run other errands. To see my sister. I trusted Cassian, goddess knows I did. But trust didn't erase fear. He was powerful, but things slipped out of control every day. I had learned that the ugly way. And before anything else happened, I wanted to fix things with Tasha. If something went wrong... I wanted her to know I never meant to hurt her. I found her in the garden behind the pack house, curled on the stone bench with a book in hand. She looked... strangely bright. Happier than I'd seen her in well… since her strangeness began. When she spotted me, her lips stretched into a relieved, almost triumphant smile. "Talia." She shut the book and stood. "I've been looking for you." I approached cautiously.“You have?" "Mm-hmm." She came in for a quick hug. The hug was tight, lingering. "You did so well yesterday. I heard about the land dis

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me    Chapter 120: four days

    Nicole led us through the main hall, past warriors sparring in the courtyard. Every sound felt muted, like it was happening underwater. My thoughts were too loud, circling one truth: Cassian made that sacrifice for me. Letting another Alpha onto his land. Calling him brother. All to get me back. My heart hadn’t settled since. The closer we got to his office, the tighter my chest felt. When Nicole knocked, my pulse was a sprint. “Come in,” Cassian’s voice answered. The door opened, and heat crawled up my spine. His scent hit me first, sandalwood, dark and warm. Cassian stood behind his desk, shoulders squared, expression carved from stone. Grim. Hard. Focused. And beside him… Kira. Of course. Her eyes flicked to me, sharp and assessing. She didn’t smile. She never did, except in evil. My steps slowed. Instinct made me guard my expression. Cassian’s gaze found mine, and something flickered, warm and soft, before shutting away again. “Talia,” he said. Just my name.

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me    Chapter 119: why are you getting involved in pack matters?

    I was halfway through a bowl of fruit when someone knocked. The sound was sharp, urgent.Mrs. Alanna answered before I could stand.Nicole stepped inside, crisp and calm as always, though an undercurrent of tension hummed beneath his expression.“Luna,” he said, giving a slight bow. “A matter needs your attention.”My fork froze mid-air. “So formal?” He smiled softly. “Just practising.” “Huh.” I went back to eating, not at all satisfied by his response but too tired to push it. My thoughts kept circling back to Cassian and his new carefree self. It made my heart flutter. I liked this version of him better. “What needs her attention?” Mrs. Alanna asked. “Land dispute,” he said. “Two Omega families, one claims the border between their farms was moved. The other says it wasn’t.” He hesitated. “Alpha Mason… is involved. He’s advocating on behalf of one of the families.”“And why isn’t the Alpha handling it?” “He’s occupied handling the traitor investigation.” He turned to me. “You’

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me    Chapter 118: a pretty pancake

    Talia’s POV I’d never noticed how shiny and beautiful the sun was until today, mostly because I was lying flat on the ground, staring at it like an idiot with nothing else to look at. “You’ll get sunburned,” Mrs. Alanna warned somewhere to my left. I groaned but didn’t move, just threw an arm over my eyes as a pathetic shield from the scorching heat. Mrs. Alanna had introduced me to a young warrior for training. Kira couldn’t continue and honestly? Thank the moon. Except this new guy, Justin, was somehow worse. He trained like he wanted to beat a confession out of me. No breaks. No mercy. No water. Just pain. So here I was, sprawled out on the grass after a thorough beating, contemplating my life choices. Soft footsteps approached, but I refused to acknowledge them. Not until a shadow cast over me, blocking the sun. I only snapped my eyes open when I caught that familiar scent, sandalwood. Cassian. He was bent over me, hands on his knees, looking down with amusement

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me    Chapter 116: I’m glad you came

    Eventually, the pups tired out, collapsing into sleepy piles or running back to their parents. Milo stayed glued to my side."You've been claimed," Cassian murmured, amusement warm in his eyes. "It's over for you now."I scratched Milo's ear. "I'll accept my fate."He chuckled softly, then fell quiet."I'm glad you came," he said at last.I looked up at him. "I'm glad I did too."His expression shifted to hope, relief, something deeper flickering there."I know things won't change overnight," he said quietly. "But I want to show you who I can be. Not just as Alpha. As... me."My heart stuttered. I didn't have an answer big enough for that.So I gave him something small."I'm... willing to see," I whispered. "Who you are."His breath left him like the words meant more than I intended.Maybe they did.When Milo finally wandered off, Cassian offered to walk me a little way.We walked side by side, not touching, but close enough that our hands brushed once or twice.
