Chapter 29 Revelation

Author: Marissa
Aeris' POV

That was impossible!

Panic coursed through me. I sucked in a shaky breath, and words tumbled out incoherently.

"Even if… Even if my dad really… He really was in a relationship with Mira… He separated from Mom years ago. So maybe… Maybe he did fall for Mira. She was young and beautiful, and he'd been single. Maybe he fell in love with her…"

I didn't want to admit that Dad had been in a relationship with someone younger than me. It was so very absurd!

But the facts stared me down, and I had no way to refute them.

Shutting my eyes, I gathered the courage to continue, "I don't believe he would hurt her. I checked his bank accounts. He was generous with Mira, alright. But no matter what, my dad could never have killed her!"

When I finished, I glanced nervously at Caius. He just sneered, his expression dripping with mockery, like I had told some laughable joke.

He laughed with derision and shot back, "Aeris, James is your father. Just because he treated you well and love

  • My Alpha’s Remorse Came Too Late   Chapter 32 Good Bargain

    Caius' POV When I saw her smile, my breath caught, and I stood still in surprise.It had been so long since Aeris had smiled at me like that. Her eyes glimmered like stars at night, and the faint dimple at the corner of her lips drew me in.I thought of the past when we were deeply in love. She always looked at me with those same eyes while she acted coy with me or whispered the interesting little bits of her day."What?" I blurted after realizing that I had spaced out for a few seconds.I was reminiscing about the past, which was very irrational of me. I frowned, disgusted with myself for such a lapse. I chastised myself inwardly for such meaningless nostalgia.Why was Aeris changing her mind now? I had already decided to sever our mate bond. If she wanted to be with that fake gentleman named Blake, I would still let her go.I searched her face for some sign of a scheme but found nothing. She merely responded by tilting her chin and meeting my gaze with a serious expression.

  • My Alpha’s Remorse Came Too Late   Chapter 31 Hate Me

    Aeris' POVThe moment I heard Caius' reply, my heart sank to my stomach. I knew our relationship could never go back to what it once was. Caius had left Dad severely injured and unconscious and had also taken our pup. Dad had killed Mira, along with countless other young women.All of it stood between us. These horrible life events wrapped themselves tightly around us like vines, choking out any affection we had for each other.Tears slid down Caius' face, but he didn't seem to care. Instead, he lowered his head and cupped my chin in his palm. He gently wiped away my tears as he whispered, "Hate me, Aery. I betrayed you. I killed our pup. It'll be easier if you hate me."His words were soft, and he showed a rare tenderness. He kissed my temple gently and turned around. All I saw was his retreating back.I knew this was goodbye.We could never return to the past. Whatever love we had was over. But hatred had bound our fates together.…That night, Caius never returned.I la

  • My Alpha’s Remorse Came Too Late   Chapter 30 Repay What He Owes Me

    Aeris' POVI once thought no one knew Dad better than I did. He was my dad. I loved him the most, and he loved me the most. After work, he would hoist little me onto his shoulders. When I was a teenager, he would take me to the orphanage to volunteer and help the orphaned pups.I remembered how their eyes lit up with hope whenever they saw him. He used to be the man that I was so proud of.But when I picked up those files, my world shattered. Word after word cut into me. My body trembled, and an icy chill spread from the depths of my soul until even my teeth rattled. Yet, I kept my head lowered and forced myself to read page after page.With every line I read, the cold within me intensified.In the last ten or more years, Dad had had countless young women in his bed. I didn't know how he defined those relationships. His lovers all had an innocent look about them. Some of them were so young that I doubted they were even adults.Caius laughed, but his eyes were so bloodshot that th

  • My Alpha’s Remorse Came Too Late   Chapter 28 Mira Was Pregnant

    Aeris' POVI stayed inside the house for several days and barely stepped out the door. Caius didn't seem to care.We were like strangers sharing a roof. He left early and returned late. Even though we slept in the same bed, there was an invisible wall between us. We never even exchanged a single word.During these days, I forced myself to eat more meat and vegetables. My body was too weak, and I had to prepare for the second round of treatment. After taking in more protein, I finally felt a little better. I could leave the bedroom for the first time.I wandered around. The living room walls featured photos of him alone. It looked kind of ridiculous. Before I realized it, I had reached his bedroom. He never locked it. So, entering was easy. Caius was always organized and arranged all his documents neatly. I searched through them briefly but found nothing about Mira. Then, I noticed the safe tucked away in the corner. Perhaps information about her was inside.He once told me tha

  • My Alpha’s Remorse Came Too Late   Chapter 27 You Are Sick

    Aeris' POVThe bathroom door suddenly opened. I was gathering the hair that had fallen onto my pillow. There was so much of it. I hadn't even had time to feel sad before Caius reappeared. Instinctively, I clenched the strands in my hand to hide them.His expression was grim as he fixed his eyes on me. He wasn't wearing a shirt. His body was as perfect as ever—broad shoulders, smooth muscles, a sculpted chest, and a flawless set of abs. Only a towel was wrapped around his waist.He walked straight toward me.Though we had been mates for three years, my heart still raced. I could feel the heat on my cheeks and ears. I dropped my gaze, unable to look at him.Caius stopped right in front of me and braced his arm behind me. His entire presence caged me in. His cedarwood scent enveloped me whole, along with his blazing body heat.I turned my face away. His overwhelming dominance made me shrink back and cower slightly. What did he want to do?I swallowed nervously and asked, "What's th
