My Enemy, My Mate   Chapter Sixty three
********CEDRIC POV*****I paced my room, a hand pressed to my lips as I smiled, replaying the kiss over and over in my mind. Maybe…just maybe…there was still hope.Hope for Emmeline and me.Hope that we can find our way back to each other.I would risk it all. I’d do everything in my power to win my mate back.But right now, I had to focus on the issue at hand; the spy.Grace and I had searched every corner of the manor and questioned every member of the pack, but so far, everyone had come out clean.The poison used was the same type as before—Shadow Bite, the one used on Emmeline. But according to our investigation, there hadn't been a witch in this manor since Juliet and July’s departure.I rubbed my forehead, already exhausted from chasing shadows.Just then, the door creaked open slowly. I frowned, irritated by the intrusion, especially from someone who didn’t even bother to knock.“What do you want?” I asked sharply when I saw Ava leaning casually against the doorframe.She let o
My Enemy, My Mate   Chapter Sixty two
****EMMELINE'S POV****The manor was rowdy, with people moving up and down in a frenzy. I didn’t know exactly what was going on, but Elara mentioned someone had been murdered.I’d gone to Cedric’s room twice to find out what was happening, but he was never there.For the past two days, my mind had been consumed with thoughts of how to prove my father’s innocence. He’d kept me away from all his experiments, so I had little to no knowledge of his work schedule or projects.Cedric had asked me to think of someone from the Blood Moon pack who might be a suspect. The only person that came to mind was Luna Maya—but I doubted she could do something like that.What would she even gain? And she didn’t seem like someone affiliated with the Council… unless there were multiple people behind the experiments.I made a mental note to mention my suspicions to Cedric.As I walked downstairs into the unusually quiet hallway, I halted when I saw Ava with Cedric. They were deep in conversation, speaking
My Enemy, My Mate   Chapter Sixty one
******* CEDRIC POV******I sat in my office, burying myself in work so I wouldn't think about my mate, but it proved more difficult than I thought.Her words kept ringing in my ears… Teammates.How could that even be possible, given that we are mates?But I couldn’t argue with her. The fear that she might disappear from my life completely was nerve-racking. I know I deserve every bit of her coldness, but it still hurts.Her eyes, once full of love and admiration for me, were now filled with disgust and hatred.“My Lord,” Grace muttered, pulling me out of my thoughts. I hadn’t even heard her enter, which was unusual, especially since my senses had heightened after my last shift.“What brings you here?” I asked, looking up at her.She bit her lip. “Um… Lady Emmeline is insisting on seeing you.”I shrugged. “You can send her in.”When we agreed to work together as teammates, she made it clear the chains had to go. Said if we were equals, she needed to be treated like one. So she was now
My Enemy, My Mate   Chapter Sixty
*******Devlin's POV******I paced the room, jaw clenched in rage. It had been three days…three excruciating days…since Emmeline disappeared, and there was still no trace of her.Had she run away?Or worse… had someone taken her?But that didn’t make sense. My pack was tightly secured. No one could breach the territory without my knowledge. Still, the silence around her disappearance was maddening.“Alpha Devlin, the Council Leader is here to see you,” Belle announced as she stepped into the room.What does that old man want now?“I’ll be there,” I muttered, and she bowed before leaving.With a deep frown, I fixed my hair and schooled my expression, forcing on my infamous smile—the one that made people believe they were always in control.When I arrived at the courtyard, he was already there, standing with that ever-present glint of amusement in his eyes.“Greetings, Uncle,” I said smoothly, bowing with calculated grace. “Why go through the trouble of traveling so far just to see your
My Enemy, My Mate   Chapter Fifty Nine
*******CEDRIC POV******I sat in my office, deep in thought. Emmeline didn’t know that I knew about Devlin’s baby. I wasn’t sure why I hadn’t told her, maybe the words just felt too heavy to say.Since she tried to escape, the security around her room had been increased. Her leg was also chained to the bed.“My Lord,” Grace bowed as she entered, a frustrated look on her face.“What is it?” I asked.“Mistress Emmeline has refused to eat anything since she arrived,” she replied.I sighed, rubbing my temples. It had been two days of her starving herself. What was she trying to achieve with this?“Have you sent Elara in?” I asked. Since Elara was her friend, I thought she’d be the best person to convince her to eat.Grace shook her head. “It was no use… Emmeline smashed the food against the wall.”Was she trying to kill the baby?I waved her off. “I’ll handle this.”She bowed and left. I adjusted my clothes as I stood and made my way to Emmeline’s room. After taking a deep breath, I pushe
My Enemy, My Mate   Chapter Fifty Eight
*****AVA’S POV*****I hurried back to my room the moment I heard footsteps near the door; I’d been eavesdropping on Cedric.My chest tightened. Santos Gray is innocent. Those words kept echoing in my head. How could that be true?My father and the rest of the Council had conducted a full investigation. All the evidence pointed to Santos. Unless… there was something my father hadn’t told me?But what stung the most was Devlin. How could he betray me like this? He saved that wretched girl, knowing full well what the Master's orders were.I bit my lip, pacing the room. I had to act. Cedric would toss me out the moment Emmeline returned to full strength. I could feel it.But what could I do? I couldn’t risk trying to kill her again. Cedric would be watching her like a hawk now.Just then, the door burst open and Mario stormed in.“Do you ever knock?” I snapped.He didn’t answer, just sighed and walked further in. His cheek was swollen, his lip split and bleeding. Someone had clearly rough
My Enemy, My Mate   Chapter Fifty Seven
******Emmeline's POV*****A sharp pain throbbed at the side of my head as I stirred awake, my body aching with every movement. My stomach twisted uneasily as I opened my eyes—familiar walls, dark furniture, and the faint scent of cedar.Cedric’s room.I was back in the manor.My hands trembled as I tried to piece it together. The last thing I remembered was Marci… taking me from Devlin’s pack. He must have brought me here.But why?So Cedric could continue his emotional torment? So I could serve out my punishment like some chained prisoner?The door creaked open. Grace stepped in, carrying a tray. “I suppose you’ll be hungry now,” she said, her tone unreadable.I didn’t respond. Instead, I moved to sit up only to be yanked back by cold metal around my wrist. My right hand was chained to the bedpost.“What the hell is this?!” I screamed, yanking at the chain until the skin around my wrist reddened with strain. Panic and rage surged through me. “Release me now!”“You’re hurting yourself
My Enemy, My Mate   Chapter Fifty Six
***CEDRIC POV****I paced my room in silence, my footsteps echoing softly against the polished floor. When Marci told me my mate was with Lord Devlin—Ava’s cousin, I was outraged. I should’ve known. Of course Ava was behind it. Who else could’ve orchestrated something so twisted?I ran a hand through my hair, restless. Marci had told me to be patient, to trust him. He promised he’d go to Dogar and bring Emmeline back safely. But now, two days have gone by with nothing but silence. No word, no message…The waiting was unbearable. It gnawed at my nerves, Something wasn’t right.The door creaked open, the sound snapping me out of my thoughts. Ava stepped in without a word, her presence immediately souring the air. She didn’t look at me. She just walked in like she belonged here and sank onto the edge of the bed, perfectly at ease.I frowned, rolling my eyes as I clenched my fists by my sides. I had to keep it together. Letting my anger get the best of me could trigger the shift—and tha
My Enemy, My Mate   Chapter Fifty five
*****EMMELINE'S POV*****“Hey, are you okay?” Belle asked as she touched my forehead. I nodded, leaning against the wall and panting heavily.I felt so tired, even though I had just woken up from sleep — rest never seemed to be enough lately.“I’m fine, Belle. You’ve asked that question three times now,” I teased weakly.She walked over and took the shovel from my hands. I had insisted on helping her plant flowers since I had nothing else to do.“You should go inside and rest, Matilda. You don’t look so good,” Belle said, her tone serious.“I’ve been resting for days, Belle. I can help you,” I insisted, reaching for the shovel again.But Belle shook her head firmly. “I mean it… you look burnt out.”“But I can…”“No. Don’t even argue or I’ll call Alpha Devlin,” she warned, tossing the shovel to the ground. She motioned for me to go.Belle being serious was a rare sight, but the command in her voice reminded me that she was still a Beta.I glared at her and stomped off toward the pack h
