Mason strode toward the main villa’s exit, adrenaline coursing through his veins like wildfire. Every second felt heavier than the last. Aria’s life is hanging in the balance, and time is slipping through his fingers like smoke.

Just as he reached the foyer, two familiar figures stepped into his path: his grandmother and Nina.

He had already mindlinked with his grandmother, explaining everything; the danger, the witch, the poison that's possibly cloaked in fertility pills. She understood the gravity without a single spoken word.

But Nina, sweet and innocent Nina, had no idea the storm that was unfolding around her.

“Daddy! Are you going out?” she asked, bouncing toward him with bright, clueless eyes.

Mason forced a smile and scooped her into his arms, holding her close. Even in this chaos, she grounded him. “Yes, sweetheart. Aunt Aria is still feeling sick, so Daddy has to go to the city to get a special medicine for her.”

“She’s still not better?” Nina asked, her brows furrowed in co

  • Saving My Rejected Mate   66. Hope Surged

    The moment Julian's call went through, it was instantly terminated.“What the hell—” he muttered and was about to redial when Mason leaned forward, eyes locked on the road ahead.“No need. She’s right there,” Mason said, nodding toward a narrow street intersection just coming into view.Julian made a sharp right turn and pulled over to the curb without a word.Seconds later, Cecil emerged from behind a fence, sprinting toward the car with a flushed face and tousled hair. She flung open the rear door and climbed in, panting slightly but grinning.“Sorry, sorry,” she said breathlessly, “I dropped my phone while jumping off the roof. Had to do a quick dive to avoid the maid who walked out just as I was scaling down. Landed like a damn cat, though. No witnesses.”Julian turned toward her with a mixture of relief and frustration. “We were this close to sending a search party. What were you even doing on the roof?”Cecil rolled her eyes and shot him a playful glare. “Gee, I don’t know, mayb

  • Saving My Rejected Mate   65. Kill Anyone and Everyone

    While seated at the long dining table, Julian and Mason appeared perfectly at ease—at least, outwardly, were communicating in the privacy of their mindlink.‘Did you find anything?’ Mason asked, voice hard and clipped in Julian’s mind.‘Nothing yet. Not a single clue. Either they removed everything… or burned it all,’ Julian replied, keeping his face placid while mechanically cutting into his steak.‘What about Cecil?’ Mason’s tone sharpened.‘No word. She’s gone dark after checking Aria's old room. I just hope her silence means she’s found something… or that she’s still safe,’ Julian replied, subtly shifting his body to keep the maids and Stella’s nosy sisters from peering at his screen. Every time he pulled out his phone, curious eyes flitted toward it like hawks circling prey.Just then, Elliot’s mother, draped in pearls and false airs of grace, leaned slightly toward Mason. Her voice was syrupy but poisoned.“Chairman,” she began sweetly, “there’s a rumor that you’ve been seen… s

  • Saving My Rejected Mate   64. Time To Move

    Julian pressed the phone against his ear, his brows furrowed as he glanced around the buzzing room, and even the foyer, and the hallway, pretending to strain against the noise of idle chatter and polite conversation. The perfect image of a diligent subordinate, he gave an exaggerated sigh of frustration, shaking his head as though he couldn't understand the person on the other line due to the noise.From the corner of his eye, he spotted Stella approaching with a tray of cookies, smiling like the perfect hostess. 'Showtime...' he thought.He moved swiftly, weaving through the gathering with purpose, then met her with a charming smile that could disarm a blade. “Luna Stella,” he said, polite and urgent, “I hate to trouble you, but I need somewhere quiet.”He lifted his phone and lowered his voice conspiratorially. “The Federation headquarters just contacted me. They need a report—on behalf of the Chairman. I didn’t want to disturb him while he’s enjoying your family’s hospitality, bu

  • Saving My Rejected Mate   63. The Search Began

    Julian laid out the special clothing on the bed, a sleek, jet-black tactical suit, fitted to Cecil’s form. It was flexible enough for stealth movement, but lined with hidden compartments and reinforced seams. Lightweight, breathable, and deadly quiet. Perfect for slipping undetected into enemy territory.“Where did you even get this?” Cecil asked as she slipped the suit on, running her fingers over the reinforced stitching and small side pockets.Julian didn’t look up. He was inspecting a vial filled with translucent liquid. “Let’s just say... It’s a prototype we keep in storage at the Federation HQ—for situations that require more... discretion.”Cecil raised a brow. “So basically, spy gear?”Julian only gave her a tight-lipped smile. “Something like that.”He stepped closer and lifted a small spray bottle. Without warning, he misted the formula over her shoulders, chest, down her arms, and legs.She coughed lightly. “What the hell is that?”“The scent cloak that was created last nig

  • Saving My Rejected Mate   62. A Distraction

    “That’s a damn dangerous plan, Cecil,” Julian said, finally breaking the heavy silence inside the car.Cecil let out a deep breath, leaning back against the leather seat with her arms crossed. “I know. But unless either of you has a better idea, this is all we’ve got. That house holds the last pieces of the puzzle—we just have to find them.”A tense quiet stretched out between them until Mason, voice calm but razor-sharp, shattered it.“Then I'll personally distract them, while she sneaks in.”Cecil and Julian turned to him in unison, surprised.“But we’ll do it tomorrow. We only get one shot. We mess this up, and not only do we lose the pills—we alert them that we’re on to something,” Mason added, his voice full of cold calculation. “And don’t underestimate Elliot. He may have been born from a lower-ranking pack, but he’s ruthless and sharp. He’ll sniff out Cecil the moment she crosses the threshold unless we remove her scent entirely.”Cecil raised a brow. “And how exactly do we do

  • Saving My Rejected Mate   61. Treasure Hunt

    It was already late in the afternoon when Mason, Julian, and Cecil reached the Crimson Claw Territory. The moment they passed through the border gates, they didn’t spare even a second—driving straight toward the fertility clinic where Aria had been receiving her treatments.But as soon as they turned onto the familiar street, all three froze in disbelief.“What the hell…” Cecil murmured, her voice barely above a whisper as she stared through the windshield.Julian squinted at the scene. “Is this… is this the right address?”Mason leaned forward from the back seat, his brow furrowed. “Are you sure this is the place, Cecil?”“I’m sure,” Cecil said firmly, her voice filled with disbelief. “This is it. This was the clinic. I was here two months ago to buy Aria's pills.”Instead of the well-kept, pristine medical building they remembered, a skeletal steel framework now stood in its place—a five-story construction site with scaffolding, half-poured cement, and workers in dusty vests moving
