CHAPTER 56: Black Envelope On Pillow
Data de publicação:
2026-07-25 04:00:50The quiet of the neutral compound felt heavier than usual, pressing against my shoulders as I walked down the long, dimly lit corridor toward the Arden wing. Outside the high arched windows, a fierce storm was brewing. Thick sheets of freezing rain lashed against the glass, blurring the courtyard into a wash of gray and black.
I pulled my knit shawl tighter around my chest, shivering as a cold draft swept across the stone floor.

The Mate He Rejected CHAPTER 57: An Arden Key Found
I couldn't speak. My throat was completely dry. I just shook my head, my chest rising and falling with quick, terrified breaths. I raised my trembling hand and held the crushed black paper out to him.Cullen snatched the note from my fingers.He smoothed out the crumpled page. His eyes scanned the messy, jagged handwriting.The reaction was instantaneous.A deep, primal snarl ripped from Cullen’s throat, vibrating so fiercely it rattled the glass panes in the windows. His entire body went completely rigid. The temperature in the bedroom plummeted, flooded instantly by the terrifying, dominant aura of a furious Alpha. His silver eyes turned pitch-black in a fraction of a second.He didn't just look angry. He looked entirely lethal.Cullen dropped the note onto the floor. He stepped forward and grabbed me, his massive arms wrapping tightly around my waist

The quiet of the neutral compound felt heavier than usual, pressing against my shoulders as I walked down the long, dimly lit corridor toward the Arden wing. Outside the high arched windows, a fierce storm was brewing. Thick sheets of freezing rain lashed against the glass, blurring the courtyard into a wash of gray and black.I pulled my knit shawl tighter around my chest, shivering as a cold draft swept across the stone floor.My mind was a chaotic, tangled mess. The stolen medical ledgers locked inside Cullen’s desk replayed in my head on a continuous loop. Dreda’s impossible pregnancy timeline. The missing bone density markers. The horrifying reality that Esme wasn't Caomh's daughter, but the biological child of Bronson Riordan.The betrayal was so deep, so completely vile, it made my stomach churn. Bronson had stood beside Caomh for five years, playing the loyal Beta, while secretly planting his own bloo
The Mate He Rejected CHAPTER 55: Blind To The Snakes
CULLEN'S POVI stared down at him. The sheer, staggering audacity of the question was almost laughable."You are asking me to share classified Arden intelligence regarding your own Luna," I said, my voice dropping into a lethal, quiet register. "That is a very pathetic question, Caomh.""I just need to know!" Caomh pleaded, his hands curling into tight fists at his sides. The mask of pride cracked completely, leaving him raw and bleeding in the open air. "I need to know if the dates line up. I need to know if she saw a healer in November. Please, Cullen. If you know something, you have to tell me."I stepped away from the stone wall. I closed the small gap between us, using my height and my broad shoulders to tower over him. He instinctively shrank back, his chin tipping up to maintain eye contact."You want the truth?" I sneered, letting the icy disdain coat every single word. "
The Mate He Rejected CHAPTER 54: Cold Mocking Disdain
CULLEN'S POVThe eastern pavilion of the neutral compound was entirely exposed to the elements, a wide expanse of pale gray stone held up by tall, ancient columns. The morning air was freezing, biting through the fine charcoal fabric of my suit jacket. A steady, freezing rain fell in thick sheets just beyond the stone steps, filling the space with the loud, rhythmic drumming of water hitting the courtyard.I stood near the edge of the pavilion, a cup of bitter black coffee turning cold in my hand.The dark, rich taste of the coffee did nothing to settle the feral, restless energy pacing just beneath my skin. My mind was still trapped in the quiet, dusty aisles of the grand library from the night before. I could still feel the soft, frantic heat of Meghann’s mouth against mine, the way her nails had dug into my shoulders as she surrendered completely in the shadows. For five years, I had kept my distance to keep her
The Mate He Rejected CHAPTER 53: Smelling Her Fear
CAOMH'S POVThe mention of Meghann’s name sent a sharp spike of pain right through my chest, but I ignored it. I kept my face completely blank."But you must have known before then," I pushed gently, keeping my tone conversational. "Women usually know the signs before a healer confirms it. When did you first start feeling sick, Dreda? Was it right after the solstice feast?"Dreda’s breathing hitched. Her eyes darted toward the door, just for a split second, before locking back onto my face."Yes," she answered, her voice pitching slightly higher. "It was... it was right after the solstice. Just a few days later. I felt awful.""A few days?" I repeated, raising an eyebrow. "That is very fast to show symptoms.""Werewolves heal fast, Caomh," Dreda countered, her tone turning slightly defensive. "Our bodies process things differently. You know that.""I do," I nodded slowly. "But I was looking through some old pack ledgers today. We are supposed to update the council on our medical histo
The Mate He Rejected CHAPTER 52: A Beta And A Puppet
CAOMH'S POVThe air in the Silver Moon wing of the neutral compound felt heavy, smelling faintly of damp stone and the sharp, cloying perfume Dreda always wore.I walked down the dim corridor, my boots making no sound against the worn runner rug. I didn't want to see anyone. I didn't want the polite, rehearsed bows of my guards. I just wanted to reach the quiet sanctuary of my own suite, pour a very strong drink, and figure out how to stop the frantic, restless energy that had been clawing at my chest all day.Seeing Meghann at the auction today had completely undone me. Watching her outbid Dreda, watching her stand beside Cullen Arden with a crown of untouchable confidence, had triggered a deep, gnawing regret that I couldn't push back down.I turned the corner, my suite just a few yards away.Then, the sound of voices cut through the stillness.They were sharp, hushed, and frantic. I stopped instantly, my spine pressing flat against the cold stone wall. I recognized the voices immed
