Once His Mate, Now His Regret Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Five
Cassiel Aldric“Aurielle, I asked Where are you?”“Um, I’m at the hotel,” Aurielle said, her voice carrying that hesitant, wavering tone I didn’t like. “I’m standing with your mercenaries. They offered to go into the room with me.”“Aurielle,” I said slowly, already feeling my patience thinning, “what did I tell you to do?”“To call you. Yes, I was going to do that. And I apologize—”I didn’t let her finish. I wasn’t about to let her slip out of accountability, not when she was treating her safety like an afterthought. This wasn’t the time to play the gentleman or coddle her. She was toying with her life, whether she realized it or not.One of my mercenaries broke in over the other line. “Sir, we’re about to check her room.”I pulled the phone from my ear and lifted my second phone to my mouth. “One of you stays with her,” I ordered. My voice was low, but I knew they could hear the steel in it. “The other checks the room. Call Thalia and tell her I want sixteen more mercenaries on-si

Cassiel AldricThe trip to the other region was rough from the start. That part of the territory fell beneath the one my council oversees, but it might as well have been a different world. They weren’t as connected, as organized, or as disciplined as we were. Their infrastructure was scattered, leadership weak, and the sense of order my council enforced back home simply didn’t exist here.Basically, we are elites and they are.... what’s a polite way to refer to them? Backwards? Ancient? Dull? Hmm, all of the above. The first day of my trip- Tuesday, I chose to travel by car, hoping to cover as much ground as possible before nightfall. It was an exhausting drive, the kind where the hours seemed to stretch endlessly, the scenery shifting from sparse towns to stretches of barren land that looked untouched for decades. By the time the sun had started to dip low and the sky turned a deepening orange, I found a small roadside motel on the outskirts of my region.If I’m being honest, the p

Aurielle DuVallI told myself I must have imagined it. That fleeting glimpse across the restaurant had to be a trick of the light or my mind playing games. But the truth was that tiny moment had already wormed its way under my skin because it was so unusual. Why would a man just be staring at me? And then vanish in the blink of an eye? Like a ghost. After I wrapped up with the first woman I was training, I met the other two at the next location. From then on, it was impossible to shake the feeling of being watched. It’s like the second I saw him, those intense eyes never stopped following me. Everywhere we went, he was there. Same black face mask. Same cold, glinting red eyes. Same piercing stare that seemed to pin me in place. He never looked away once, never batted his eyes because he stared too long. And every single time, as soon as I blinked, he was gone.It was slow at first, almost like background static in my mind. But with each appearance, the pressure built. I didn’t know

Aurielle DuVallYesterday’s scare hadn’t followed me into the day, which was something I appreciated.I was doing okay, or at least that’s what I told myself, right up until the moment I stepped out through the sliding glass doors of the hotel lobby and spotted Satan’s boyfriend, err, fiancé, sitting in his sleek, predatory black car parked right at the curb as if he owned the entire block. The nerve.Absolutely despicable behavior.Yeah, I get it, he's the pack leader, but doesn’t that mean he should be busy instead of bothering me every single chance he gets.My lip curled before I could stop it, and I gave him the kind of look you reserve for roadkill you nearly stepped in or animal feces you spot as you walk down a nice street. Without a word, I pivoted sharply and followed the cobblestone path toward where my car was parked further down the street. I had already taken my meds for this morning, and with them came the quiet reminder to keep myself in check. Stay alert, watch for t

Matthias CroweI honestly owe Aurielle more than I can ever put into words. The medications she brought me worked better than I expected, even if they left me wiped out. I slept through the entirety of Sunday and drifted in and out most of Monday, my body unwilling to do anything but rest. By Tuesday morning, though, I felt something close to alive again. I was clear-headed, steady on my feet, and my mind finally caught up with the world.Sure, there was still a lingering heaviness in my muscles, a deep ache in my bones that reminded me I wasn’t completely healed yet, but it was a far cry from the fog I’d been drowning in. I could move without feeling like I’d collapse. I could think without the haze pressing in.Nerissa and I, however, hadn’t spoken a word since the argument we had that Sunday afternoon. She clearly thought her silent treatment was some form of punishment, but the truth? It was a relief. I have enough to juggle. From my health, my responsibilities, my wolf’s consta

Aurielle DuVallIt took more begging than I thought possible before Cassiel finally exhaled that long, reluctant sigh and agreed to go after his brother. Even then, it was clear he wasn’t happy about it. The trip would take him longer than a day. It would take at least two, maybe three, and I could tell from the tightness around his jaw that the thought of being away that long didn’t sit well with him at all. Before leaving, he pressed two things into my hands. He had brought some items after I told him someone was knocking on my door. It’s like he expected something to go wrong. Smart man.The first item was an emergency button disguised as a ring. A delicate silver band with a heart shape at the center, and a ruby in the heart. It was subtle enough for anyone to think it was just jewelry, but with a small, barely noticeable indentation on one side. A single press would send an alert straight to him. It was the kind of precaution I never would’ve thought of, but Cassiel clearly had
