Aurielle spent a full minute fussing over the bouquet—turning it slightly in the light, tracing a crystal-dusted petal with her finger, inhaling the scent like she couldn’t get enough of it. I stood there and watched her with a quiet kind of reverence.She was beautiful.When was she ever not?She wore a fitted red long-sleeved top that hugged her arms. Around her neck hung a black beaded necklace—simple but striking. Her black skirt brushed her upper thighs, short enough to draw attention, but not short enough to cross any lines. Classy. Calculated. Her black heels added just the right edge, and the soft shimmer of silver jewelry—rings, earrings, a bracelet I hadn't noticed before—brought the whole look together. She looked like a woman ready to conquer anything, even if she had no idea just how devastating she was to look at. It amazes me that aurielle doesn’t know how beautiful she is.I’ve never laid eyes on another woman in the region more attractive than she is.And when she fi

I woke up feeling… lighter. Brighter. Hopeful in a way I hadn’t felt in weeks—maybe months.There was a quiet calm in the air, the kind that slips into your bones and makes you believe, just for a moment, that today might be good. I stretched slowly, allowing myself to enjoy the rare feeling of optimism. I didn’t have much to do today—technically nothing urgent—but I did want to speak with Matthias. The list of fourteen candidates had been sitting with him for a good amount of time now, and I needed to know if he’d finally made his picks.If he hadn’t… well, I’d handle it myself.I’d go through the list again, narrow it down to three strong contenders, contact them, schedule individual interviews, and—if they passed—begin the training process immediately. We didn’t have time to waste, and this wasn’t a role just anyone could fill. They had to be sharp, focused, and loyal.And after that, I’d speak with Matthias about compensation. Contracts. Bonuses. Travel allowance if necessary for

I caved a few minutes later and called my father.I didn’t expect him to answer. Honestly, I’d half-hoped he wouldn’t. But he did—and when his voice came through the line, it was clipped and irritated.“Hello? Who is this?”He was annoyed. Not confused. Not curious. Just bothered. Which told me everything I needed to know. He must’ve been on his phone already, probably reading or scrolling, and answered out of reflex. If he’d known it was me, he would’ve ignored it. “It’s me. Dad.”There was silence on the other end, heavy and cold. I could almost hear him calculating whether this was worth his time.“…Matthias,” he finally said, voice as flat as stone. “What is it?”I swallowed hard. I didn’t even know how to begin. “I… I need your advice. On something.”His response was immediate and dismissive. “Talk to your new wife. Or your grandmother since those are the only people you care about.”I rushed the next words before he could hang up. “Please—please don’t. Just… don’t hang up. I ne
Once His Mate, Now His Regret Chapter One Hundred and One: Matthias Crowe
Nerissa was tense for the rest of the day after I returned from work that evening. She didn’t speak to me—just gave me clipped glances and slammed a few doors louder than necessary. I didn’t care. I couldn’t even bring myself to acknowledge her presence. Not when my mind was so full of Aurielle. Everything about her was starting to come back to me in vivid clarity, like someone had finally cleaned the dust off a long-forgotten mirror.Except this time, I wasn’t seeing our relationship through the lens I used to.I was seeing it for what it really was.And what I found… was disturbing.I was abusive.Not just emotionally distant. Not just cold. I hurt her physically and didn’t feel much guilt about it. I see it now, and I can barely stand myself for it. How could I justify choking out Aurielle? Grabbing her wrist too tightly?Aurielle had been right. She never gave me any real reason to doubt her. She never tried to manipulate me, never once acted out of character—at least not in the w

I sat in stunned silence, trying to process what Cassiel had just said.He asked me to give him a chance... to pursue me?To turn our quiet, consistent friendship into something more?I blinked, struggling to wrap my head around it. My thoughts buzzed too fast to catch. I wasn’t even sure I’d heard him right.I mean it’s... Cassiel?I opened my mouth, searching for words, but all that came out was, “But…”He cut in gently. “I know—you’re surprised.” His tone was steady but soft, like he was carefully walking the line between vulnerability and patience. “But, Aurielle, just think about it. I’ve been your friend for the past two months. I haven’t pushed. I haven’t tried anything. If you say no, I’ll respect your boundary. I value you in my life, as a friend or more.”I looked at him—really looked—and gave him a small smile. Because I already knew he meant it. I never once felt uncomfortable with him, never once felt like he was waiting for me to break. And even now, even as he admitted
Once His Mate, Now His Regret Chapter Ninety-Nine: Aurielle DuVall
I stayed silent for a long moment, trying to organize the tangled mess of thoughts spiraling in my head. My heart was racing—an erratic, fluttering rhythm that made it hard to breathe. I didn’t know what to say. I felt too much, and nothing was settling.“Aurielle,” Cassiel’s voice came softly through the phone, careful, probing, “do you see me differently now?”The question hit something raw inside me.I opened my mouth, but the words caught in my throat. I closed it again, blinking hard, then forced something out. “N-no... I’m just...” I let out a soft breath, pressing my palm to my forehead. “I’m in my head.” That was the truth. I feel ridiculous for how desperate I was with Matthias, only to find that the one thing I used as my lifeline wasn’t even real.Because, of course, he would never save me.A pause. Then his voice dropped to a warm murmur, “Hmm... then, a moment please.”The line went dead.I pulled the phone away from my ear and stared at it, confused. He hung up? Was he u
