Nerissa DuVall

Matthias, whom I had expected to get angry on my behalf, had turned into a reasonable fool. Then, even worse, when I stormed off and locked myself in my room, he stood on the other side. Not knocking, he didn't even try to get in. Eventually, I heard his footsteps retreat.

The sound of his door locking echoed down the hallway like a gunshot.

Click.

I froze mid-step, fingers clenched in the hem of my silk robe.

No. No, no, no.

Did he seriously just lock me out? He locked his room door like he didn't want me to come in there at night?!!! HOW DARE HE?

I stood there, stunned, staring down the hallway as if willing the door to swing back open.

It didn’t.

My nails bit into my palms.

What the hell is wrong with him?

What changed?

He never used to treat me like this. He never used to question me. I’d cry, and he’d crumble. That was our rhythm. Our balance. He needed me to break for him to fix me. It made him feel important. In control.

Now?

Now he was cold. Flat. Like a wall I

  • Once His Mate, Now His Regret   Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Two:

    Matthias CroweI walked around, monitoring what Nerissa was doing. She kept calling the company responsible for planning our engagement party. Saying one minute she didn’t want everything so white. Then, arguing that the cameramen focused too much on Aurielle. She was getting more and more upset by the minute. I never knew one person could reach this level of anger. She screamed after another call went nowhere. They told her the same thing. She signed the contract. They can do what they want with the pictures. And she needs to stop complaining about the ex-luna being all over the pictures. She was invited. Which was my fault. Fuck, I could have avoided half the drama had I not invited Aurielle. But then again, I wouldn’t have gotten to see her in that dress. I was once her husband. Once, the man she wanted to share a bed with. For once, can’t I just go back in time? I would get on my knees. Marry her properly. Treat her right. Throw all of Nerissa’s photos out. Kiss her each time

    Aurielle DuVallI hung up and immediately went straight to the search bar on my phone. I typed out moonveil engagement party and came across the website as the first suggestion. I clicked on it, feeling Cassiel move closely towards me. He peered over my shoulder, placing a cup of tea next to me. Not close enough to leave a burn because it was hot. The website was nice, it had photos, videos, and a picture of everyone who was there. Now that I’m seeing the photos, I can say the white was not as bad as it looked in person. All white can work if all of the guys wear softer tone clothes instead of vibrant bright colors that make them look strange in the setting. And the outfits Matthias and Nerissa wore. It made me wonder what their wedding would look like when they’d already done all white for the engagement. Anyways, judgement aside, the issue and I’m guessing matthias’s reason for calling me was in the photos of me giving my gift to nerissa.Btw, the gift was a matching couple’s lo

    Aurielle DuVallI woke up before Cassiel, which was a first for me. For a moment, my vision blurred, the edges of the room softening as though I had not quite returned from the dream world. My wolf stirred quietly inside me, calmer than she had ever been, a warm, silken feeling sliding over my body like a protective veil.I turned my head toward him. Cassiel lay perfectly still, his breathing deep and steady, his chest rising and falling in a rhythm that felt ancient, grounding. His features seemed sharper in the early light, carved with lines of strength and gentleness that made him look almost unreal. Peaceful. My heart tugged at the sight.I leaned closer until the tips of our noses brushed together. A flutter danced in my stomach, unexpected but sweet, and I let out a small sigh, careful not to wake him.I knew I needed to get up, to face the day waiting for me. Work had to be placed on hold, at least temporarily, while I took on this job with Matthias. Even before that, though,

    Aurielle DuVallAfter dinner, I went upstairs to get ready for the night. My feet felt heavy on the steps, though my mind was already racing ahead. When I reached my room, I sat in front of the vanity, setting the brush in my hand before pulling it slowly through my hair. Each stroke was steady, mechanical, a way to quiet the storm building inside me.I stared at my reflection in the mirror, replaying today’s events over and over. Nerissa would not take humiliation lying down. I knew her too well for that. She would retaliate soon enough. Probably the next time she sees me. That much was certain. But I intended to strike first, to hit her where it hurt the most. I wanted to dig into her past and drag every secret into the light.I was almost sure she kept a journal, just as I did when I was younger. If she found mine at our parents’ house, then hers must be there too. The thought made my chest tighten. I had never once stepped inside Nerissa’s room, not in all the years we lived unde

    Aurielle DuVall“Your sister takes you on this trip,” Cassiel began, his tone even, almost clinical, as if he were laying out a battle plan. “She has already devised a plan to fake her death and frame you for it. With a scheme like that, I doubt she ever intended on coming back. Let us assume she found someone who caught her attention. Someone who could give her exactly what she wanted without forcing her to waste time manipulating him at every turn.”I nodded slowly, following the thread of his reasoning. He had a way of weaving logic together so tightly that it left little room for doubt. Cassiel was not merely speculating; he was reconstructing Nerissa’s choices based on what I had told him about her, what he had learned of Matthias, and what he had extracted from those men who had tried to kill me. His mind was a net, and once he cast it, every detail was caught.“But,” Cassiel continued, his gaze steady on me, “she also found a way to keep tormenting you. Because in her mind, yo

    Aurielle DuVallWhen I returned, the first thing I noticed was the warm, rich smell drifting from the kitchen. Cassiel had cooked. That was one of his quiet habits, an unspoken way of grounding both of us after long, chaotic nights. I had eaten at Matthias’s engagement party, and I had drunk enough wine to keep a faint burn in my chest, but there was no way I would ever say no to Cassiel’s food. He had a way of preparing meals that tasted not just of spice and meat but of care, of safety, of something steady in a life where everything else tilted and shifted under my feet. And besides, the hours it took to get here meant I had time to get hungry again.I sat down with him, letting the warmth of the kitchen calm me while I began recounting everything that had happened at the party. As the words spilled out, my chest tightened, my heartbeat quickened, and I found myself replaying every detail, wondering if I had done anything wrong, if I had somehow revealed too much or left something
