Aria finally allowed herself a moment to breathe.

It had only been a few days since the world as she knew it had shattered. 

First, the violent car accident, then the humiliating banishment from the Crimson Claw pack, followed by the devastating arrest of her parents. Each event had stripped her of something vital, leaving her hollow, running on instinct alone.

Now, within the quiet luxury of Mason’s penthouse, the silence felt almost eerie. The calm after a storm… or the quiet before another?

She stood motionless for a moment, as if her body had forgotten how to rest. Her fingers trailed over the edge of the plush bedding, the soft fabric.

    Cecil’s POV“Truth or dare,” Jacob asked casually, but I barely heard him.My mind was still spinning from what he just revealed.“That doesn’t make sense,” I said, frowning. “You’ve only kissed one woman, but you’ve slept with… many? How is that even possible?”Jacob chuckled, like I just told him a joke. “You’re adorable, you know that?”“What? I’m being serious!” I snapped, heat rising to my cheeks. “I asked a question.”“And you’re too innocent,” he teased, his ey

  • Saving My Rejected Mate   117. Lighthouse (3)

    Cecil’s POVWhat started out as a harmless game turned into something else entirely. Jacob kept drinking, and each round pushed a little further—his dares getting bolder, his questions sharper, more daring. I wasn’t sure if he’d remember all of this tomorrow, but I was definitely planning to tease him if he did.And hell, since this was where we were headed, I might as well lean into it. Own it.“My turn again,” I said, eyes locked on his. “Truth or dare?”“Dare,” he replied without hesitation—again.Of course. That’s all he’s been choosing lately. Time to up the sta

    Cecil’s POV“Why not both?” I dared, my voice filled with challenge. Jacob’s smirk deepened, amused and intrigued.Little did he know, I had a high tolerance for alcohol. It would take more than a few bottles to break me. If he planned to test my limits tonight… let’s see who’d end up surprising who.I watched as he knelt in front of the old fridge, pulling out a couple of frosted vodka bottles. “Damn, you’re prepared,” I said, one brow lifting.He let out a low chuckle. “I was planning to renovate this place and stay here. That’s why I had the maids clean it up and load the fridge with booze. I hate being in the main villa—too much noise

  • Saving My Rejected Mate   115. Lighthouse (1)

    I downed another sip, hoping the alcohol would knock me out. Sleep hadn’t come easy since Aria and I were forced out of the Crimson Claw Pack.We’ve both been restless and haunted. She’s been through hell, and I’ve watched her carry it in silence until Chairman Mason came along. There’s a different kind of light in her now. I just pray it doesn’t burn her.As for me… I don’t even know what the hell to do with Jacob.My mate.Too perfect. Too patient. Too damn good to be true.He interrupted my drinking, and now the sleep I was chasing has vanished completely. I won’t lie, I’m glad he showed up. But part of me still holds back. Hesitates. 

  • Saving My Rejected Mate   114. Only Need to Feel

    After the party ended, Sam and Cecil’s parents retired to their rooms, worn from the long day. But Cecil stayed behind by the bonfire, barefoot in the sand, and a little too quiet.Waves whispered behind her, but none of it calmed the storm inside. She cracked open another can of beer and took a long pull, swallowing until it was half gone. The alcohol burned, but not enough to drown her thoughts.Her family was finally whole again… and yet she couldn't stop thinking of Aria. Of Aria's parents, still imprisoned, still suffering.“Wow,” came a voice from behind, smooth and teasing. “My mate can drink a lot like me, we will surely get along.”Cecil didn’t turn around. “Leave me alone, Jacob. I want to be alone tonight

  • Saving My Rejected Mate   113. Hiding (2)

    Aria’s POVJust when I thought I was about to come undone, Mason stopped.His hands clamped down on my hips, grounding me. He leaned over, his bare chest pressing against my back, and kissed the nape of my neck. The heat of his breath and the slow drag of his lips sent shivers racing down my spine.“Listen,” he whispered with a husky voice. “I’m going to fuck you so hard you won’t be able to stand. And even after they’re gone… I won’t stop. So you better keep your voice down. Understood?”Gods.The threat in his voice, the promise—it made my thighs quiver. I could barely breathe. My ar
