MILA

With Camila feeling guilty about the showcase, it didn’t take long for us to come up with a plan to savage the showcase. All I needed now was Gabe’s approval. I debated on letting Camila go but I was pretty sure she was banned from the previous incident. Alex, on the other hand, practically slept at the packhouse hospital. Seriously, I haven’t seen the guy in two weeks. I was starting to forget how he felt under my fingers. Maybe I could pay him a visit?

As I approached the MoonCrest pack border, the familiar sensation of being connected to the land washed over me. It wasn’t as overwhelming as being at the packhouse, but still the feeling made me feel alive. So much so, I got out of the car just to feel the ground beneath my feet, buzzing slightly with energy. I knew this feeling from Alpha Jack’s pack. When he invited me to become a pack member, during the ritual linking there was a bond a wolf felt with the land and the pack.

“Stop right there!” a voice called out, firm and auth

  • The Rejected Mate's Revenge   Chapter 201

    MILAWithout thinking, I bolted after her, ignoring the shouting behind me. I pushed through the entryway and raced down the hall, tracking her scent and the click of her heels. She was fast, but I was faster.I turned the corner and skidded to a halt just as she reached Emily’s office door. Her hand was already pulling something from the bookshelf. A sleek, black remote with a glowing red button.My heart slammed against my ribs.“What the hell is that?!” I growled, charging her.She barely had time to turn before I tackled her to the floor, the remote skidding across the polished wood. She snarled, kicking at me, claws half-shifting.“You bitch!” she screamed.I slammed her wrist into the floor, hard. “What the hell is that remote for? What did Emily plant?!”“She told me to stop you!” Arianna spat. “Said you’d ruin everything. Everyone!”“She planted a bomb, didn’t she?” My voice was deadly quiet.Arianna didn’t answer, but she didn’t have to.Because the glowing red light on the r

    MILACan’t say this was what I had in mind for my evening. Before the invitation, I was going to head to the hideout and be around people I actually wanted to hang with. Instead, I’m sitting here listening to Emily’s boring speech about how her son overcame something. I literally had to force myself to stop rolling my eyes. Tyler might be on my side, but that man didn’t overcome shit. By the look on his face, I knew he was calling her bullshit too. It got to the point where Tyler had to interrupt, ushering the servants to serve the food.I sat across the table from Luna Emily, who was staring daggers at me, accompanied by Arianna’s glares, and Frances Deveaux’s amused smile. It was actually becoming hard to make polite conversation with those around me. Finally, dessert was done and everyone milled about with a cocktail or two. I stood near one of the cocktail tables, checking for any messages from Gabe. Instead I texted Laura who hasn’t heard anything except for a package that had

    GABEI stepped out into the quiet, keeping my eyes open for any activity. It was the last location on Brian’s list and farther away than the others–off the grid, no signal, no real road. Just trees and a trail barely wide enough for a single vehicle.Then came the rustle. A branch snapping. I stilled.A man stepped out from behind the cabin. Broad shoulders, silver streaking his beard, eyes like a wolf who’d seen too much and trusted too little.Frederick.I didn’t move.“You shouldn’t be here,” Frederick said, voice low and clipped.“I didn’t come to fight.”“Yet, you brought company.” Frederick nodded slightly. “I have friends too.”The shadows emerged from the woods–five, six, maybe more. Rogues. Brian and two of my warriors were pushed into the opening as they surrounded us. I raised my hands slowly.“It’s not what it looks like,” I said as calmly as possible. “I just want to talk.”“We have nothing to say to Gregory’s successor,” one of the rogues said, stepping towards me. One o

    MILAWhat the hell was going on? “Tyler, are you serious?” I asked, standing up from my chair.“Well then, if I knew this would give you a rise I would’ve said this earlier.”I rounded the desk, hitting him on the shoulder. “I’m serious, Tyler. What…why?”Tyler ducked away from my assault. “Turns out my dear mom has her claws in a lot more than I realized.”I took a slow breath. “Explain. Now.”He tossed a small, leather-bound notebook onto my desk. “Found it in my dad’s things. Before my mother’s little henchmen ransacked it. Notes, receipts, and transfers. He was funding something.”I flipped the notebook open and scanned the scribbles. Chemical formulas. Shipment records. Personal names and codes.“My mother’s company,” he said quietly. “She ran a private testing site in Alpha Frank’s territory. It was shut down quietly years ago after several test subjects reported… losing their wolves. Not just muted bonds. Total severance from the Goddess. Like the soul inside them was gone.”“

    MILAI burst into MoonCrest pack hospital, sniffing out Alex until I found him.“Stick me with whatever needles you have to,” I yelled the moment I walked into his office. “I need to find out if that monster is my dad or not?”“Um, Mila. I’m with a patient.”I froze, finally noticing the young man slumped over in the chair across from Alex. I stopped myself from making a face at his appearance. He looked pale, lips tinged blue, and sweat clung to his brow. His eyes were the worst–sullen and dull. I smelled his wolf but it was faint and nearly silent.“Oh,” I muttered, stepping back. “Sorry.”Alex stood, placing a firm hand on the man’s shoulder. “It’s okay. Kevin, I’ll be back in a few minutes. Try to breathe through it. The serum needs time to work.”Kevin didn’t answer. His eyes were vacant like whatever did this sucked the life from them. Alex led me into the hallway and into another room that was empty.“Mila,” he said, “you really know how to make an entrance.”“Can you blame me

    ARII still heard the muffled chaos outside the bathroom door, but it was nothing compared to my heartbeat thudding wildly against my ribs.I gripped the sink, trying to steady my breathing. In. Out. Calm. Stay calm.But I couldn’t.My father had looked at me like I was the enemy. Like I betrayed him. Me, the only one who actually stood by him. He thought I set him up.And knowing him… he wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate a loose end. He’d done it before. He’ll do it again.“I didn’t do this,” I whispered to my reflection. “I didn’t. I didn’t.”But my reflection didn’t argue. It just stared. Wild-eyed. Mascara bleeding. Lipstick smudged at the corner like a smear of blood. That’s when it hit me.The video.That moment–his office, his voice, the clarity of it. There were no cameras in that room. So how the hell had they–I froze. My mind rewound. Frame by frame. Frank’s body. The warehouse. The perfect angle. The same angle. Places I had been. I was bugged. That was the only explanation,

    MILAThe room stilled.“What is this?” Gregory barked, looking around the room. I noticed how he subtly narrowed his eyes at Emily.Good. I wanted him to think it was her. For now. Murmurs filled the room as everyone’s attention was glued to the screen. It flickered again. Then came the audio–his voice. Clear. Calm. Cold.And damning.“The boat needed to go. Collateral damage is part of the price when you want to clean house. And the girl? She’s just like her parents–too dangerous to be left alive.”Silence swallowed the room. Then chaos.“That doesn’t prove anything,” Gregory shouted. “That could be anybody.”But the screen answered him. It split into two windows: one showed Gregory pacing in a private study, the second displayed spreadsheets, maps, and message logs–each one marked with timestamps and code names.The proof was overwhelming.Someone screamed. A councilman stood. Arianna’s mouth dropped open. Emily turned toward Gregory, the smile never leaving her face, even as she wi

    MILAFrances and his assistant poured over the portfolio like it was a rare manuscript. I shifted in my seat, resisting the urge to glance at my watch again. There was too much riding on today–too much to still do.Frances finally looked up, his eyes twinkling behind those sleek, gold-framed glasses. “This is truly something special,” he said, tapping the edge of the page. “And the technology?”I straightened a bit, proud. “Smart fabric. Reactive threads that shift color based on light exposure and body temperature. The effect is subtle, elegant—like your vintage diamond collection. Sophisticated, but with presence.”Across the table, Emily’s jaw tensed. I caught the flicker of annoyance in her eyes and smiled, just a little.Frances chuckled. “Indeed, Mademoiselle. You’ve captured the season in a way that feels... alive.” He flipped another page, his gaze sharp but admiring. “I must admit, I’m surprised. After everything that’s happened lately, I expected something more... reserved.”

  • The Rejected Mate's Revenge   Chapter 193

    MILAThere was no gentle buildup this time. No teasing smile. No calculated flirtation. Gabe kissed me like he meant to ruin me–with a hunger that stole the air from my lungs. One hand tangled in my hair, tugging just enough to make my body jolt with need. I gasped, but he swallowed the sound, deepening the kiss, his tongue sliding against mine in a battle I was already losing.He lifted me effortlessly from the chair, setting me down on the desk as if he’d been waiting to do it since the moment he walked in. His body pressed against mine, all muscle and heat and quiet dominance.“See?” he murmured against my lips, voice dark and full of promise. “You like it when I take control. Don’t you?”And damn him–I did. My body answered before my mouth ever could, arching into him, fingers clawing at his shirt to pull him closer.“Answer me, Mila.”“I… do,” I breathed, the words escaping like a confession.Those words cracked something open in him. He kissed me again–deeper, rougher–his hands
