ALPHA DORIAN’S POV

I didn’t even have time to breathe.

Just as I was preparing to deal with the witches and their inconvenient arrival, another storm came crashing through my borders—Dominic. And Derek. With official backing from the Elder Council and letters of support from surrounding packs.

The timing couldn’t have been worse.

I stood by the window of my study, knuckles white against the dark wood as I gripped the edge of the desk. My jaw clenched as I stared at the guards scrambling below to prepare the meeting hall.

They were here.

Dominic, the perfect, honorable Alpha with fire in his blood and vengeance in his heart.

And I? I had a fake escape, a dead lunatic, and a very much alive Olivia resting in my infirmary, still unaware of the lengths I was willing to go to keep her here.

I took a slow breath. No mistakes now, Dorian. One misstep, and this entire house of cards collapses.

  • My Mate Chose The Bitch Who Hurt Our Baby     Chapter 170 WALLS THAT LISTEN

    OLIVIA’S POVThe ceiling looked unfamiliar.Sterile white panels. Smooth fluorescent lighting. A faint beeping sound echoed in the distance—subtle, rhythmic.This wasn’t the room I remembered.I pushed myself up slowly, my body still heavy from fatigue, and looked around. The walls were cleaner, the machines newer, and the bed softer—too soft. A faint herbal scent lingered in the air, unlike the sharp disinfectant sting I’d gotten used to.I wasn’t in the same hospital.The realization crawled down my spine.When did they move me here? And how long was I unconscious?Two nurses stood nearby, whispering to one another, but the moment they saw me awake, they stiffened. One of them—a shorter brunette with trembling hands—offered a tight-lipped smile. The other just looked away, pretending to adjust a chart.“Where am I?” I asked, voice dry.The brunette hesitated before answering, “You’re in the new hospital, miss. Still in our pack territory, just… relocated.”My brows drew together. “R

  • My Mate Chose The Bitch Who Hurt Our Baby    Chapter 169 WHAT THE LIGHT UNVEILED

    OLIVIA’S POVI had counted the hours.And then the hours blurred into a day.And still, he hadn’t come.I don’t know why but this seems a bit odd to me. If Dorian is really on our side he should have contacted Dominic by now and Dominic should have been here.But I wasn’t losing hope.This time, I believed him. Dominic would come. He had promised. And after everything we’d endured—after all the pain, betrayal, and silence—I knew he would move heaven and earth to find me this time. Last time Evelyn managed to fool both of us, but now she was out of the picture, and he won’t leave me behind. Our kids are counting on us. My heart ached while thinking of my kids. I just hope they are fine.Still, I couldn’t help the flicker of doubt.What was taking him so long? Is he okay?I sat on the edge of the cold bed, my fingers digging into the scratchy blanket as my thoughts swirled around every possibility. Had Evelyn done something? Had Dorian locked him out? Did something happen on the way? Wh

  • My Mate Chose The Bitch Who Hurt Our Baby    Chapter 168 TOO QUIET FOR THE TRUTH

    DOMINIC’S POVThe moment my boots hit the earth of Dorian’s territory, I felt it.The pull. That invisible thread that tied me to her.Olivia.It was faint—barely a whisper across the mate bond—but it was there. A flicker of something familiar. It was enough to make my wolf stir beneath the surface, pacing with restless energy.But the moment I stepped farther inside the borders…It vanished.Completely.As if someone had thrown a thick blanket over the bond, muffling it. Dimming it.That wasn’t natural.I exchanged a quick glance with Derek, who picked up on my unease immediately. Still, I said nothing. Not yet. Dorian was waiting, his posture guarded yet oddly cooperative. He extended a formal welcome, even nodded when I presented the search warrant backed by the Elder Council.“Of course,” he’d said. “You’re free to search the entire territory. I have nothing to hide.”Too easy.He even added that he would provide additional warriors if needed. Claimed he was just as eager to find

  • My Mate Chose The Bitch Who Hurt Our Baby    Chapter 166 THE HALF TRUTHS

    OLIVIA’S POVThe antiseptic scent of the hospital burned my nose as I stirred awake, the harsh white light flickering above me like a cruel reminder that I was still alive.I blinked slowly, my body aching in ways I couldn’t even describe. My arms felt heavy. My ribs ached. And beneath the layers of bandages and healing ointments, I could still feel the phantom weight of Evelyn's rage pressing down on my chest.She tried to kill me.Again.I inhaled shakily, pushing that thought away as the door opened. Dorian stepped inside, dressed in a clean black shirt, his expression unreadable. He held a file in one hand, but he didn’t bother looking at it.“You’re awake,” he said softly.“I’m alive,” I replied, voice hoarse. “Barely. Thanks to you and your partner.”His jaw tightened. “I’m… sorry. You shouldn’t have gone through that, I was blinded by my thirst and greed for power, I still want that, I mean who doesn’t, it’s just I realized it a bit too late that I am not in a position to mess

  • My Mate Chose The Bitch Who Hurt Our Baby    Chapter 165 THE FINAL MOV

    ALPHA DORIAN’S POVThe dungeon reeked of iron and despair.The heavy door creaked open as I stepped in, boots echoing against the damp stone floor. The guards stood silently, avoiding my eyes as I walked past. I didn’t need to ask them how she’d been. I could sense it in the air—the madness, the rage, the spiraling chaos that had now become her.There she was.Evelyn.Chained to the far wall, her wrists bloodied and raw, hair tangled like wild thorns, and eyes burning like embers in a dying fire. She didn’t even flinch when she saw me.“I was wondering when you'd show up,” she rasped, a smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth. “Did you come to play hero again, Dorian?”“No,” I said, voice cold. “I came to talk.”“Talk?” She laughed, a sound too cracked and eerie to be human anymore. “About what? The bridges I’ve burned? The bodies I’ve buried? Or maybe the way you’ve kept me locked up like a dog?”I stepped closer, carefully watching her. She didn’t even try to hide the deranged glin
