The ropes finally gave. Tasha collapsed forward into my arms. I hoisted her up as best as I could and threw her arm around my shoulder.

We had to move. Now.

I half-carried, half-dragged her towards the corridor at the far end of the room—the only direction not teeming with noise and blood. The walls were damp and narrow, the air colder, heavier. Each step echoed, the metallic scent of dried blood and rut filling the air.

Behind us, the rogue groaned, starting to stir.

Shit.

My heart raced faster. We needed to get out before he—or anyone else—got back on their feet.

The corridor twisted sharply, leading us to a dead end. Panic clawed at my chest until I spotted it—a rusted metal door at the side, slightly ajar.

There.

I pushed it open with my shoulder, the hinges screaming. Daylight blinded me for a moment, harsh and brilliant against the dark rot of the building.

We stumbled into the outside world—overgrown grass, a chain-link fence in the distance, and beyond that... freedom

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me    Chapter 36: too cruel

    I sighed and stared into the dark room, sitting on an empty chair. The moon shone brightly, rays slipping in, framing the room. It was quiet, peaceful.The feast was still going on, but I'd excused myself, claiming to have a headache. Cassian could see through my lie but didn't stop me. I was glad he didn't.If I had spent one more second there, I would've exploded. Their smiles and laughter, the pack members' happy chatter about how I'd survived, like it was something to be happy about. Like it hadn't broken me into pieces, like I hadn't been subjected to unimaginable cruelty.I clenched my fist, angry at myself for feeling this way. I was sent into the labyrinth to prove myself. I scoffed. Prove myself, to who? To those vultures in council seats? To my mother, who hadn't spared me a glance since the trial ended?A soft knock came at the door. I knew who it was before she spoke, announcing herself and stepping in. Tasha.I glanced up at her, my body too tired to move."Hey sis," she

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me    Chapter 35: I hate what it costs you

    The dining hall of the pack house shimmered like it belonged in a magazine spread. Glass chandeliers dripped light across long oak tables, the walls lined with sleek portraits of past Alphas and Lunas. Silverware gleamed. Servers moved with quiet precision.Everything was curated to scream power.And yet, as I stepped inside, it all felt suffocating.Every head turned. Conversations dulled to whispers. I heard the words they didn't bother to lower their voices for—Luna. Survivor. Trial. The bond. Nicole was a step behind me, sharp in his black suit, every inch the loyal Beta. But Cassian... he was already there. Standing at the head of the table, framed by light, his navy suit tailored to perfection, exuding that same steady authority that made wolves follow without hesitation.And then his eyes found mine.The air shifted, heavy with that stubborn, unyielding pull I couldn't seem to escape. His gaze lingered just long enough to remind me—whether I wanted him or not, whether I truste

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me    Chapter 34: pledge of loyalty

    It's been three days since the trial, and it's safe to say I've fully recovered. Physically. Something still felt heavy in my heart. I was asked to prepare for the council meeting again. I wore a grey sweatpants and white tee, packed my hair up in a messy bun, and applied lip gloss. I couldn't bring myself to put in effort, not after what those bastards put me through. I stepped out of the room and found Nicole leaning on the wall, his arms crossed. He had been assigned as my escort to the council meeting — Cassian's order, no doubt. He straightened up when he spotted me, his eyes searching my face in concern. I cleared my throat and walked in the opposite direction, heading for the council room. "Wait !" He shot out and grabbed my shoulder, spinning me around to face him.“Um," he backed off, "I wanted to talk to you." I glanced at my wrist. "Make it quick, there's no time." His brow shot up, but he chose not to comment. I had no wristwatch on. "I know you don't like me. And

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me    Chapter 33: you are my mate

    The first thing I became aware of was the sterile sting of herbs in the air. My eyelids felt like stone, heavy and resistant, but I forced them open to the blur of white walls and muted sunlight bleeding through thin curtains.I was alive.A sharp ache rippled through my chest at the memory of thorns shredding my skin, of shadows whispering lies in the labyrinth. My hand twitched towards the spot over my sternum, and I felt the raised welt of the mark — the crescent moon entwined with thorns. The proof that I had survived a nightmare. I shifted, groaning as pain flared down my side. That's when I noticed him.Cassian.He stood by the window, tall, broad-shouldered, still in the same blood-streaked clothes from the arena. His arms were crossed, his posture a wall of steel. He wasn't looking at me, but I knew he'd felt me stir — the way his shoulders tightened, the subtle twitch in his jaw."What are you doing here?" My voice came out raw, scraped thin, but I refused to let it tremble.

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me    Chapter 32: I won’t lose you, not again

    My knees trembled, but I forced my body to move. Step by step, skin raw and bloodied. My chest still burned from the thorns' pierce, my palms torn and crusted with blood. But I was walking. I was alive.The passage widened, the light growing brighter, until finally, I stepped through the archway.The roar that met me nearly knocked me backward.Rows upon rows of pack members filled the arena stands, their eyes wide, their mouths parting in awe or disbelief. I staggered into the open space, blood-soaked, battered, but not broken.The drums cut off. Silence fell heavy and thick.Nicole stood at the edge of the circle, hands over his mouth, eyes shimmering. Behind him, elders and warriors stared at me as though I had just risen from the dead.I blinked against the sunlight. My body swayed, every ounce of strength drained, but I forced myself to keep standing. My chest heaved. My heart pounded.The silver mark burned faintly on my skin—over my sternum, right where my hand had pressed aga

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me    Chapter 31: by blood, by truth, by choice

    The ground split beneath me as the beast thundered forward, thorns snapping and grinding under its weight. Its maw opened wide, silver fire spilling from its jagged teeth. My chest tightened—not from fear, but from the suffocating pressure of its presence.Or both.I rolled aside as its claws swiped the air, ripping the ground where I had been standing to ribbons. Dust and shards of thorn filled my lungs. I staggered back to my feet, cloak dragging, every nerve screaming.It was fast and strong.I had no weapon. Nothing but my hands, my blood, my will. I would survive.I didn’t feel fear or panic. I was numb. The only emotion that coursed through my veins was determination—determination to survive, to see this through.The wolf turned its head toward me, eyes locking with mine. Cold. Piercing. As if it could see everything I tried to bury—my fear, my grief, my anger.It lunged again, faster this time.I braced.When its claw struck, I caught it with both hands. The impact sent me skid
