“Where the fuck is Jude?!” Elliot’s voice thundered across the marble floors of Riggs Mansion’s grand living room, making the chandelier above tremble ever so slightly.

Yousef flinched but held his composure. “He left a single encrypted message before going completely dark. Said he’d been compromised. He’s shut down all links—even the inner circle can’t reach him.”

“Damn it!” Elliot’s fist slammed into the armrest of his chair, the crack echoing like a gunshot.

“What about the witch?” Stella snapped, her sharp voice slicing through the tension.

“Jude was our only connection to her,” Yousef said grimly. “No one else knows her location. Without him, we’ve lost the trail.”

Stella moved toward Elliot like a snake drawn to heat. She slid her hands across his tense shoulders, kneading the muscle beneath. “Breathe, love. Jude is loyal. He wouldn’t vanish unless he had to. He’s protecting you—this is his way of shielding you from fallout.”

She glanced at Yousef. “Isn’t that right?”

  • Saving My Rejected Mate   120. Entire Garden

    “Auntie!!!”Aria jolted upright, heart pounding from the sudden cry that pierced her sleep.“Nina?” she called out, eyes darting around in alarm.But her panic melted into bewilderment—and then softened into a stunned smile—as she caught sight of the chaos in the room.“So many flowers!” Nina squealed in delight, her tiny hands fluttering between the colorful explosions of roses, carnations, and gerberas that blanketed the room. “Look! There’s a unicorn plushie too!”She picked up the stuffed toy with sparkling eyes.“N...i...n...a…” she read slowly. “It says my name! This is mine!” With a squeal, she hugged it tight and bounced back to the bed like it was Christmas morning.Aria remained frozen, still trying to make sense of what she was seeing. The room was overflowing with flowers in every hue imaginable. Bouquets were everywhere, on the floor, desk, chair, lined the windowsills, and even spilled over on top of the dresser. It looked like a florist had exploded.And then, the door

    Cecil’s POVHe’d completely lost control. His lips devoured mine—desperate, wild, barely letting me breathe.“Jacob…” I gasped when I finally managed to pull away just enough to speak.He didn’t answer. His mouth chased mine again, relentless, until I pushed against his chest—firm, needing space.“Jacob. Listen…”He pressed his forehead against mine, eyes burning, and gently placed a finger on my lips to silence me.“I’m sorry if I was too much,” he whispered. “I just... want you so damn bad. My wolf’s going mad from holding back—and so am I. But I already know what you're going to say, and I’ll respect it. I’ll wait, Cecil. Just like you asked me to.”I blinked, stunned. Wait? What the hell was he talking about?“What are you even saying?” I asked.“You wanted to take it slow, right?” he replied, eyes filled with certainty. “You said you needed time to see if you’d like me.”I rolled my eyes so hard it hurt. “That’s not what I was going to say.”His brows furrowed. He looked genuinel

    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

    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

    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.
