Once His Mate, Now His Regret Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Six
Aurielle DuVall I tried to step back from Cassiel, but he did not move. His hands slid from my face down to my waist, holding me firmly, pulling me until there was no space left between us. My chest pressed against his, and the sudden closeness stole the air from my lungs. The sound that escaped me was half gasp, half broken breath. “Thalia,” Cassiel said without turning his head, his voice low and cutting. “Why are you here?” His eyes went from my eyes down to my mouth, and I watched as he swallowed with barely contained desire. It felt like he had been holding back, but now that I made the first move... his restraint was broken. Thalia blinked, startled by the coldness in his tone. “I came to check on Miss DuVall.” Cassiel’s grip on me never faltered. His eyes did not leave mine. “If you had done your job properly the first time, you would not need to check on her at all. Did I not give you instructions to escort those men back to our pack?” His words were sharp, clipped,
Once His Mate, Now His Regret Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Five
Aurielle DuVall I darted my eyes away from him before he could make a move. Not because I didn't want to kiss him.But because deep down I doubted he ever would. Cassiel was too much of a gentleman to kiss me while I was vulnerable. Though I don't think it would make him any less of a gentleman if he did decide to kiss me. The moment I slipped into the tub, the water embraced me in warmth. The bubbles rose in soft peaks around my shoulders, carrying the faint scent of lavender. Every ache in my muscles loosened and I felt myself sink deeper, letting the day’s stress dissolve into the ripples. Cassiel did not leave. He crouched beside the tub, close enough that his presence wrapped around me just as surely as the water did. His silence was heavy, yet not uncomfortable. He was watching me. I dragged the washcloth over my skin, following the rhythm of my own movements, but awareness of him pressed at me. When I dared to glance up, I found his eyes fixed on my face. His expression wa

Aurielle DuVall I shut my eyes the entire way back to the house, not because I wanted to sleep, I couldn’t, but because keeping them closed felt safer. I trusted myself in Cassiel’s hands. He wasn’t incompetent, not the kind of man to leave me to handle every detail alone. He was steady, reliable, and even in my haze, I knew he wouldn’t fail me. Still, rest never came. I was far too aware of every bump in the road, of the strange heaviness pulling at my limbs, of the bitter metallic taste coating my tongue and teeth. My body wanted to collapse, but my mind remained stubbornly awake, stuck in its own endless replay of everything that had gone wrong today. When Cassiel finally arrived at the house, it felt both too soon and not soon enough. He didn’t waste time, his voice cut firm but polite as he dismissed the mercenaries, telling them they could go with an edge in his voice that made it clear they were in trouble. They listened instantly. They always did. The guilt pricked sharp
Once His Mate, Now His Regret Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Three
Aurielle DuVallI’ve decided, I’m going to take the risky option. The dangerous one. The kind of option that could get me killed if I made one mistake. But I promised myself, before I even made my move, that I would not stand still and wait to be saved by these people. If I did nothing, he would win. If I fought, at least there was a chance.I forced my lungs to fill, forced the air into my body even though panic was threatening to strangle me. My wrists were burning from the pressure of his grip, and his other hand pressed cruelly over my mouth. His skin tasted of dirt, of sweat, of the kind of filth that never really washes away. His breath reeked as it hit my cheek.My senses were being haunted.Before I could talk myself out of it, I lifted my foot and slammed my heel down on his toes with every ounce of strength I had. There was a sharp crunching sound that turned my stomach, bone meeting bone in a way that was not natural. He shouted in pain, his roar so loud it startled the bi
Once His Mate, Now His Regret Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Two:
Aurielle DuVallI thought for a split second about what to do. Just one small, fragile second where my brain tried to catch up with what my eyes were seeing. Then instinct took over, and I bolted. My legs carried me across the park in a full sprint, the cold air tearing through my lungs. I blinked, hoping, praying, that when I opened my eyes again, he would be gone like always, even though my gut told me this time was different. But no. He was still there, still coming straight at me, his face twisted with a strange, wild determination.What the fuck?I pushed harder, running with every ounce of strength I had, my heartbeat slamming in my chest. Across the pa,rk I spotted movement, shadows shifting into form. The wolves stationed nearby were sprinting toward me, their low growls rolling across the empty space like thunder. Auburn was at the front, moving with a speed that made the ground blur beneath her feet. She did not shift, but she didn’t really need to. The silver glint of he

Aurielle DuVallEven the simplest plans can go wrong. That was what Cassiel had told me last night, his words pressing themselves into my memory like a brand. They echoed in my head every time I blinked, every time I tried to rest. I carried them with me through the long hours of darkness.I had not slept much, so I heard everything that happened during the night. Cassiel had called Thalia to speak with her, and though I knew I should not have eavesdropped, my exhaustion made me careless. Her voice was sharp and defensive at first, cutting through the silence of the night. She swore she had not seen the man, insisted she had only made a small mistake, and promised she would catch him next time. But then her tone shifted. The fire drained from her words until there was only resignation. She grew quiet, apologized, and told Cassiel she would accept whatever punishment he deemed fit for her lapse in judgment. My eyes had been half-shut, my body heavy with fatigue, but at that moment
