The café was warm, filled with the scent of roasted beans, sugar, and quiet chatter. Soft music drifted from hidden speakers, the kind that made everything feel a little too calm.

Cassian walked in like he owned the place, of course he did, earning a few stares from the humans around. He didn't seem to notice, or maybe he just didn't care. He went straight to the counter, and before I could open my mouth, he was ordering.

"I'll have a black Americano," he said smoothly, then glanced over his shoulder at me. "And an iced caramel latte. Extra caramel. Whipped cream."

My head snapped up. "How do you..."

He was already pulling out his wallet, the corner of his mouth twitching as he handed over cash. "What? Can't a guy order coffee?"

"That's my coffee."

He turned just slightly, his expression all calm mischief. "Yeah. I know."

The barista smiled too brightly as she took the order, and I swore Cassian flashed her his trademark Alpha smirk before stepping aside. I followed him,

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me   Chapter 204: relieved of his duties.

    Talia’s POVI didn't know how much time passed, didn't know when night fell and when the sun rose. Time didn't move in the cell.I couldn't sleep, couldn't blink. Every time I closed my eyes, everything replayed.My wolf was on edge, pacing restlessly inside me. I could feel her unease, sharp and frantic, like claws scraping against my skin. I feared for her—feared for myself.The hurt that had weighed me down was slowly dulling, fading into something darker, heavier. It didn't disappear.It transformed.Transformed into a growing thirst for vengeance. I pushed those feelings down. Now wasn't the time for vengeance. I needed to get out of this situation, to contact Nicole. He was the only one who could really help me. I was pulled from my thoughts by the scrape of metal against stone. The sound of footsteps followed.It was time. Light flooded the cell, harsh and blinding. I lifted a hand to shield my eyes, blinking rapidly as my vision adjusted. Boots stepped in—two guards, then

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me   Chapter 203: they’ve set a trial

    Talia's POV The room was cold, bare, lifeless. I sat on the stone floor with my back against the wall, my head pounding, my throat raw, my body drained in a way that went deeper than exhaustion. It felt like something had been ripped out of me and left to bleed. I'd been dragged here like a criminal. I could still see it—feel it. The way their hands clamped around my arms roughly. Could still hear the murmurs that followed us down the corridor. Could see the curiosity, the judgment, the satisfaction. The council hadn't even tried to hide it. And Melissa... goddess, the victory on her face had been worse than the shackles they hadn't bothered using. She'd watched like this was something she'd waited for. I'd kept my chin up. Shoulders squared. Even when my chest tightened until each breath burned. Even when my limbs trembled with every step, my wolf whimpering quietly in the back of my mind, confused and hurting. I hadn't given them the satisfaction of seeing me break. But now,

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me   Chapter 202: who the fuck are you?

    Talia's POV Pain was the first thing I felt. A pounding, relentless ache split through my skull, like something was trying to claw its way out from behind my eyes. I groaned, squeezing them shut tighter, but the pressure only intensified. My temples throbbed in time with my heartbeat. A strong feeling of nausea hit me. Then the voice came. ‘Talia—please’ I froze. Nicole. His voice wasn't coming from the room. It wasn't a sound at all, or a mindlink—not really. It was inside my head, it was strained and urgent, like he was shouting through water. ‘If you’re hearing this… Kira escaped. She has a powerful relic. Watch out’ he said quickly. The pain spiked viciously. "Stop," I whispered hoarsely, clutching my head. "Nicole—wait—" But the connection shattered before I could really grasp it. The words were like fragments, fragments I couldn’t understand. Powerful relic. Kira. Be careful. My breathing turned shallow. My body felt wrong—heavy, sluggish, like I'

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me   Chapter 201: please be careful

    Nicole’s POV We walked for what felt like hours. The forest blurred into an endless stretch of trees and shadows, my legs aching, my patience wearing thin. I glanced at my companion for what had to be the hundredth time that night. “You said you knew the way?” I asked. It came out sharper than I intended—more accusation than question. He didn’t even slow down. Just shrugged, hands buried in his jacket like this was a casual midnight stroll and not a desperate escape. “I know a way.” I scoffed. “That’s not what you said.” He shot me a sideways look but kept moving. “You’re still alive, aren’t you?” “We’ve been at this for too long,” I snapped, finally stopping. My boots crunched against dried leaves. “You know where I’m from” he opened his mouth to deny it but I wasn’t having it. “Don’t even bother with the denial. How long until we reach the pack?” He stopped too. Turned fully this time, his eyes dark, calculating. There was a pause, a pause too long. “How long,” I repeated,

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me   Chapter 200: if you betray me, I’ll haunt you.

    Nicole’s POV I paced the cramped space, frustrated, desperate. My fingers twitched with the urge to pull at my hair. Three days. Three days I’ve been locked in here with no chance of escaping. Every-time a guard entered to give me food and water, he’d remain outside, choosing to keep his distance. If I could just get to him, if I could just… “Damn it!” I pressed my forehead against the wall, letting the cold seep into my skin. I needed something to calm me down. Needed to think with clarity. My mind—traitorous bastard—slipped to Mason. News flash—he did nothing to calm me down. Instead, he riled me up even more. That damn blank expression, the damn silence. Damn it. Damn him. The only other person I could think of was Talia. Her soft smile, her wild personality. She was at stake here. Her safety was at stake and I couldn’t even do anything. “One task Nicole.” I whispered helplessly. “Just one task you were trusted with. And you couldn’t even do it.” I settled on the

  • Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me   Chapter 199:I’m fighting something

    Talia’s POV I lay on my back, staring up at the white ceiling, counting the tiny cracks like they might rearrange themselves into answers if I looked long enough. They didn’t. Instead, my mind replayed the argument with Cassian on a cruel loop—the words he’d chosen, the distance in his voice, the way his eyes had gone cold like he was already somewhere else. It hurt. Hurt in a way that sank past skin and bone and lodged itself deep in my chest, where my wolf paced restlessly, whining. ‘You need to bond with him,’ she whispered again, softer this time. Worried. “How?” The helplessness slipped out of me before I could stop it. I could face the council. I could face Kira. I could face an entire pack that suddenly hated me. But this—this slow, quiet withdrawal from my mate—this terrified me. I squeezed my eyes shut. I’d felt him earlier, that spike of desperation leaking through the bond like a crack in a dam. He’d tried to reach me, to speak, to explain. I’d shut him out. I wasn’
