Jimmie’s POV

The ride back home with Eleanor was beyond awkward.

It was suffocating, like being trapped in a velvet coffin. The air between us was thick, silent, weighted, stretched taut over the tension neither of us dared to acknowledge. She sat by the window, her eyes distant, her posture regal yet withdrawn. I sat beside her, hands clasped tightly in my lap, pretending the silence was comfortable when it was anything but.

I had complimented her speech earlier, telling her it was beautifully delivered and heartfelt. And it was— even though I was occupied with my thoughts and that shewolf, Nadia, during most of her speech. She’d stood on that stage in front of thousands and held them captive with her words. A symbol of strength, grace, and purpose. But she hadn’t responded. Not even a nod. Just that same quiet, that unreadable expression on her face, like she was a million miles away.

I didn’t press. Maybe she needed space. She didn’t owe me anything, not an explanation, not a smile

  • The President's Mate   Chapter 79  The Tipping Point

    Jimmie POVI couldn’t breathe.The basement felt like it was choking me, thick, stale air pressing down like hands on my throat. I had to get out.Now I stood on the pavement outside the house, staring at the endless wall of trees stretching across Astria's edge. The rain poured so hard it blurred the line between sky and earth. Thunder cracked like gunfire overhead. The scent of wet leaves and fog clung to everything. I was cold, but the cold didn’t matter.What did... was everything that had changed.Astria wouldn’t be the same after this. The hidden things—the monsters, the myths, the bedtime stories they were real. They were loose.And worse...Clementine was at the centre of it all.My cousin.My best friend.The girl I swore I’d protect now changed into something unrecognisable.The Night Reaper.God, I dragged her into this.This life.This cursed life I chose to fight for.Was it even worth it?“Hey,” Fara said softly behind me.I didn’t turn. Just pulled my arms tighter aroun

  • The President's Mate   Chapter 78 What the Monsters Made

    CLEMENTINE POVPresent I ran like death itself was snapping at my heels.The wind didn’t just howl, it screamed with me. Each heavy strike of my paws cracked against the soaked concrete like a war drum, echoing beneath the storm clouds snarling above. Rain fell sharply, like knives cutting through my fur. I could barely see past the blur of water and shadows, but I didn’t stop. Couldn’t stop, because the second I did, I’d come crashing down, my mind first. Pedestrians scattered. I heard them.Their screams.Their curses.The frantic shuffle of feet against sidewalks as they dove out of the way for me.Me.The monster.I could smell their fear — taste it, and it made my insides twist in shame. A bitter, burning shame that clawed its way through my chest.How the hell did I become this?If someone had told me two months ago I’d be an animal — no, a killer, I would’ve laughed so hard my sides would ache. Me? Clementine, the girl who doesn't believe in myth? No way.But now… now I was fu

  • The President's Mate   CHAPTER 77 The Enemy Who Wore Our Skin

    Devon POV Livid didn’t even begin to describe it. I was beyond rage. I was vibrating with it, my blood hot, my skin crawling with heat, my wolf clawing at my insides. I couldn’t breathe past it. I couldn’t think because I had almost lost him, again. Jimmie, my mate, was nearly ripped apart. And for what? Because Nadia, that deranged, heartless bitch just couldn’t help herself. What the hell was wrong with her? How could she be so reckless, so consumed with whatever game she thought she was playing, that she would endanger everything? Her own pack. Her own kin. Herself. And now? The humans knew. They saw us, heard us and worse, tasted our truth in the blood and howls and teeth. There were videos now, screams. Reports are already flooding the airwaves. There was no cleaning this up. This wasn’t just a breach. This was a war she started. Earlier that day, I had been at the hospital with Eleanor. We were standing in the private ward while the doctor rounded off her update. “Nat

  • The President's Mate   CHAPTER 76 The Teeth of Blood and Memory

    Jimmie POVEverything went silent the moment Clementine’s eyes changed.Not around me—no. The world around me was chaos. Screams, Sirens, the crunch of gravel as people fled. The frenzied barking of dogs behind the park’s gates, with the startled wails of babies and the frantic slapping of panicked feet on pavement.But in my head, it was just her.Her eyes, those warm, hazel eyes I used to tease her about, calling them autumn fire, had turned red, not metaphorically, not some poetic shimmer. No. Red. The kind of red that meant one thing: wolf.And then she moved.Clementine lunged straight for me—airborne, snarling.“CLEM!” I shouted, arms up, too late to think. But before she reached me, a body slammed into her midair. A guard, one of Devon’s men, a large tawny wolf, crashed into her, knocking her sideways in a flurry of limbs and snarls. They rolled across the concrete path like a blurred storm, fur and blood smearing the ground. She let out a high-pitched whimper, but it wasn’t pa

  • The President's Mate   CHAPTER 75 The Shape of Her Shadow

    Jimmie POV The ride to the subway park felt like an endless road stitched together with dread and prayers. My hands gripped the wheel of the black SUV as if I were holding myself together with it, while the wind cut through the half-open window, cold and sharp against my skin, but not enough to numb the storm twisting inside me. Clementine. Alive, but she didn’t sound hurt—just lost, Scared and Frantic, but still her, and that was the part that made my heart feel like it was bleeding into my ribcage. Because how? How did she escape Nadia? Was it even real? Or was this one of Nadia’s games, another twisted, knife-sharp trick designed to carve something precious out of me? Maybe. But I was willing to take that risk. I'd take a hundred more if it meant there was even a sliver of her left to save. The city passed in flickers—neon signs bleeding over cracked sidewalks, people going about their night with faces full of mundanity, while mine was splintering into panic. I pulled into th

  • The President's Mate   CHAPTER 74 The Call That Changed Everything

    Jimmie’s POVThe silence in Devon’s apartment was starting to press in like a second skin. Heavy, Suffocating and Unbearable.I was pacing again, back and forth, like a caged animal, my thoughts gnawing at me from every side. He hadn’t called. Not a single word since Franco came with the news, chest tight with urgency, to tell Devon something was wrong with Nathaniel.Devon left, just like that. But not before five of his soldiers—werewolves showed up, summoned by Fara on his orders, assigned to protect me.To guard me.To cage me.I’d insisted on going with him. God knows I begged, but Devon's face had gone hard, unreadable. “It’s not the right time, Jimmie,” he’d said. “You don’t need to face her. Not yet.”Franco had agreed. Of course, he had. I remembered the way he looked at me, like I was glass. Breakable.Now here I was. Alone, yet not alone. Five soldiers lurked like shadows. One outside the hallway, two flanking the front and back of the property, and two more lingering insid
