After the whole mess with his brother, who, by the way, was still MIA, Cassiel bounced back by the very next day like nothing had happened. But I could tell it wasn't effortless. He buried himself in responsibility, slipping back into that composed, hyper-functional mode of his. With his brother gone, someone had to pick up the slack. And that someone, of course, was Cassiel.

It meant he was leaving the house more often, making trips to the pack’s business sectors, and attending council meetings later than he used to. I hadn’t even known he had several schedules prepared in case this happened. I’d catch glimpses of him coming and going, pressed suit jackets, steady footsteps, barely a word except a kiss on my forehead and a reminder to eat. He didn’t complain. He didn’t sigh. He just… moved.

It was like he was comfortable being a workaholic, but it also reminded me of why his house seemed so soulless. He was rarely in it.

That’s the thing about Cassiel, he’s a quiet storm. All power,

  • Once His Mate, Now His Regret   Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-One: Matthias Crowe

    Matthias CroweNerissa brightened moments later like she had finally accepted my words. She gasped, light bursting into her expression like someone had flipped a switch. Then, without warning, she squealed, a high-pitched sound that made me flinch, and leapt into my arms like a child receiving a long-awaited gift.I blinked, caught somewhere between disbelief and resignation as her arms wrapped tightly around my neck.Gods. If only my wolf had stayed fated to Nerissa, maybe none of this would be happening. Maybe I wouldn’t feel this… fractured. Split between duty and desire, past and possibility.I shoved thoughts of Aurielle into the farthest corner of my mind, locking them behind every reason I could come up with. I reminded myself- well forced myself to remember- how wrecked I’d been when I thought Nerissa had died. The sleepless nights. The frantic search for closure that never came. The guilt. The way I’d clung to the idea of her.I tightened my hold on her, because that memory s

    Matthias CroweI took the stairs two at a time, heart pounding, and went straight to the bedroom. The moment I opened the door, I heard Nerissa crying into the pillows.She was curled up on the bed, her back to me, shoulders shaking. She looked small and broken. It wasn’t the side of her I was used to.I felt a stab of guilt. I didn’t know what I felt anymore—maybe it was care, maybe just habit. Whatever it was, I couldn’t ignore it.I sat down on the edge of the bed and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.“Nerissa…” I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper. “What’s wrong?”She didn’t answer right away, only buried herself deeper into the pillows, muffling another sob. I leaned closer, gently coaxing her to turn her head. After a few moments, she finally lifted her face, revealing red-rimmed eyes, mascara-streaked cheeks, and a mouth twisted with pain.“Someone tried to poison me,” she whispered, voice cracked and hoarse.I blinked. “What?”My frown deepened. “Who would do som

    Matthias CroweI planned my grandmother’s birthday with a pit in my chest that only seemed to grow heavier the closer the day came. Every time I thought about it, about walking through her front door, hearing her cheerful voice, smelling the warm scent of her perfume, I could already picture the exact moment she’d pull me aside, smile gently, and ask why I still sent out invitations or save the date cards.I’d told her I would. I nodded, agreed, even managed to fake a hopeful smile when I said it. But then I backtracked the second I got home. The weight of it hit me too hard. I kept telling myself I just needed time. That I was too busy. That I needed to get through one more thing before I committed to nerissa. Just like I’d always dreamt of doing.But the truth is, I didn’t have a good enough lie.And the truth I did have? It felt cruel. Unfair. Not just to my grandmother, but to Nerissa.I spent years loving her, years of my life tangled up in a version of her that I now realize mig

    “So you’re going to show that to Matthias’s grandmother?” I asked.Nerissa leaned back, tapping the diary on the table. “No. I’m giving you a chance. An olive branch.”She smiled, then leaned forward. Her tone sharpened. “Stay away from Matthias. Or I’ll ruin you.”She waved the diary in my face, like it was a weapon.“I will marry Matthias. That’s a fact. You and I both know he loves me more than he never loved you. But if you keep prancing around like a cheap little whore trying to cling to him, I’ll ruin you in ways you didn’t even know were possible.”I didn’t move. I didn’t flinch. I was intrigued by her threat and the thought that i was prancing around matthias.She is delusional.“I will fake a pregnancy,” she said, her voice silky with venom. “Then fake a miscarriage. I’ll say it was your fault. I’ll take this little diary and show it to his grandmother. Tell her you wrote it while you were married. And unlike me...”She leaned in close now, her breath nearly brushing my face.

    After spending more time at the bistro, getting myself lunch in the process and some dessert, I arrived at the Sunset Bar thirty minutes past eight.Not on purpose. I could’ve been punctual if I wanted to, but I didn’t. Letting Nerissa wait felt like the only control I had going into this mess. I wanted her to be the one worried for once even though my heart rate was beating faster it had ever before.She was already there, just as I’d predicted. Tucked into a booth in the far back, as far from the noise of the bar’s regular crowd as she could get. I saw her before she saw me. Her face was tense, her jaw tight as she tapped aggressively at her phone screen. Her manicured nail kept jabbing the screen like she wanted to stab through it.She looked pissed. Good.I didn’t approach right away. Instead, I stopped at the bar and ordered drinks, one for her, one for me. A peace offering, or maybe a calculated move. I wasn’t sure yet.The bartender, a guy in his late twenties with kind eyes an

    I took a few deep breaths. Composed myself. And then did something that even I had to admit felt a little unhinged.I looked up self-defense tips.Not fluffy “how to scream for help” articles, either, I mean actual, hands-on protection. Close-range combat advice. I wasn’t delusional enough to think a few Google searches would make me deadly, but it was better than sitting around waiting to be ambushed by someone who clearly had the upper hand. Nerissa had always been good at plotting against me. I mean never in my years would i have thought she would make an abortificient for me but she did. And she didn’t regret it. There was a small tactical store about ten minutes from the hotel. I checked the directions twice, grabbed my keys, and left before I could second-guess myself.I wasn’t a fighter. Not like most she-wolves who grew up in military-style packs or under ruthless alpha training. I’d never had that kind of upbringing. As a beta’s daughter, I should’ve learned to shift under
