The Rejected Mate's Revenge Chapter 165
ARIIt didn’t take long for me to lose Gabe at the party. Then I thought, Find Mila and I’ll find Gabe. But she was gone too. The last I saw, she was talking to Amira. So I searched for Amira instead and found her lounging in the VIP section, twirling her drink like she owned the place. I walked over and plopped down on the couch beside her.“So where’s your bestie, traitor?” I asked with a smile.Amira cocked an eyebrow, smirking. “Traitor? Pretty sure you weren’t calling me that when I joined your team. Or have you forgotten?”“Semantics,” I said with a casual wave. “Fashion is a battlefield, and lucky for you, I know how to win. So… what did you two talk about?”“Oh, you know. The usual.” She took a slow sip of her drink. “Fashion. Gossip. And finding a way to outshine you– and get Tyler back on my radar.”A nerve twitched in my temple. “I thought that’s why I invited you both here,” I said, teeth clenched in a tight smile.Amira shrugged and gestured around lazily. “Then where is

GABEA normal three-minute elevator ride turned into what felt like ten—maybe longer. I had to practically drag Tyler out when he swayed and nearly collapsed against the mirrored walls, muttering under his breath and pale as a ghost. I’d seen my brother drunk before—hell, we’ve all had our nights—but this was beyond his usual mess. This wasn’t "had a few too many beers" Tyler. No, this was "just turned twenty-one and doesn’t know when to stop" kind of wasted. The kind that makes you worry about alcohol poisoning and wonder if you’ll need to call an ambulance instead of a car.By the time I got him downstairs and to the car waiting for him, I was sweating like I’d run a marathon. Tyler kept stumbling in the opposite direction, tugging against me like dead weight.“I have to apologize to her,” he slurred, his voice breaking in a way that stopped me cold. “I didn’t mean to… I fucked up, man.”I tightened my grip on his arm and steered him back toward the car. “I know, buddy,” I said, tr

GABEHow long have I been doing this? I lost count. All I knew was that I couldn’t stop. She had to come back to me.“Mila,” I gasped, my voice breaking. “Rayne–come on, dammit!”Another desperate press to her chest, another breath into her lungs. My whole world narrowed to that single moment–her pale face, the blood pooling beneath her, the way her body wouldn’t respond.Then–Her body jerked violently under my hands, a sharp, ragged cough tearing from her throat as water exploded from her mouth. I nearly collapsed in relief, scooping her into my arms like she was something precious I’d almost lost forever. She’s alive. She’s still here.Her breaths were ragged, shallow, like she was hanging on by a thread. But she was alive and fighting. That was enough for now. I held her tighter, my hand instinctively cradling the back of her head as her body trembled against mine. My clothes were soaked, my heart still hammering so hard it hurt. The coppery scent of her blood was everywhere, maki

MILA“You think you can just come here and ruin everything?” Arianna’s voice was sharp, but I couldn’t see her. I was surrounded by darkness, but I felt her. Felt her anger crackling in the air around me. Spinning in place, I turned–and there she was.The scene painted itself around us, like a nightmare dragging me back in. Arianna’s party. The pulsing music. The flashing lights. The pool. Randall’s dead eyes staring back at me.No.I knew what was coming.Arianna stepped closer, her heels clicking sharply against tile that wasn’t really there. Her eyes burned into mine as she reached up, pulling a glimmering silver pin from her hair. Smoke rose from her hand and her face twisted in pain.I wanted to run. To scream. But I was frozen. I had seen this already. Lived it. But the moment that still tore through me wasn’t Randall lying dead–it was Arianna plunging that pin into me without a second thought. She had always been careful, calculated. Obsessed with her image. And yet, she had s

MILAHours slipped by as Rayne and Spencer ran through the forest, their paws pounding in rhythm over the soft earth. The moon arched high in the sky, casting pale beams that danced through the trees and lit their path in silver.Rayne glanced at Spencer as they ran, a glint of fire in her silver eyes, and for the first time in days, I felt her smile.Her muscles ached, but it was a good kind of ache–the kind that came from living, from fighting back, from surviving. The pain from Arianna’s attack had dulled to a faint burn, and strength surged through her limbs as if the forest itself was giving her back everything she’d lost.Eventually, the sound of rushing water teased Rayne’s ears, and as they broke through a dense line of trees, a wide creek sparkled before them, lit by moonlight that shimmered on its surface.Rayne slowed to a trot, chest heaving, her tongue lolling out as she padded to the edge of the water. She bent her head to drink, the coolness of the stream easing the fir

TYLERMy head pounded, mouth dry as sandpaper, as I leaned against the cold tile walls of the shower, letting the water hammer down on me. I racked my brain, trying to figure out who the hell was in my bed. The sheets had been rumpled, and there was a scent of a woman. Familiar.Mila?No way. Not after what I did. My fist rammed into the wall. And yet, for a split second, I wanted to believe she had. That she had shown up, crawled into my bed, and forgiven me without a word.I needed to find her. Apologize.No.I needed to do more than that—something real. Something that showed her I meant it. Mila liked meaningful gestures... right? But what the hell could I give her?Jewelry? Too impersonal. Too flashy.Anything expensive would piss her off.I rubbed my hands over my face again, groaning. What did she even like?My mind raced through every conversation, every tiny detail she had let slip when she wasn’t busy trying to act like she didn’t care. She talked about the orphanage and the

MILAI stirred, the sounds of birds and a soft breeze teased my skin. Warmth enveloped me from behind, the heavy weight of an arm slung around her waist, fingers splayed possessively over my stomach.My eyes blinked open slowly, and for a second, I wasn’t sure where I was–until the scent hit me.Gabe. Earthy, masculine, a hint of pine and spice.Oh, hell no.My gaze dropped down my body, and that’s when the realization sank in. I was human now. And naked. Wrapped up in Gabe’s equally bare body like I belonged there.Rayne was smugly quiet in the back of my mind, clearly enjoying every second of my slow-burning horror.What the hell happened?Mila,” Rayne purred. “And you were worried about me.”“Okay, okay. No big deal.” Just… sneak out of his arms. Pretend this never happened.I sucked in a breath and carefully began to untangle myself, moving as slowly as possible. Gabe’s chest rose and fell in deep, even breaths, his dark lashes resting against his cheekbones. Relaxed. Peaceful. To

ARIJust great. The two people I didn’t want to see today. I paused in the doorway of my office, swallowing down the lump rising in my throat. The past couple of weeks have been hell with Randall’s death taking up the main news and the council taking more interest in our family than usual.The only upside was Gabe, who was acting a bit more subservient than before. My father was sitting in my chair like he owned the place–which, to be fair, he acted like he did–while my stepmother perched delicately in the chair across from him. I closed the door behind me, careful not to let my hand tremble on the knob. “Well, isn’t this an unwanted family surprise.”“Not in the mood for jokes, Arianna,” my father grumbled. “This mess of your friend doesn’t look good for the family.”I walked around the desk slowly, keeping my head high though my palms were sweating. “What do you want me to do, Father? Tell Randall not to die next time?”His hand came down on the desk with a loud bang, making me ju

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.”

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

MILATyler was, somehow, unexpectedly my hero.Not only did he make sure the publication printed the correct draft of the Aliz magazine–the one with my real Summer collection and not the tragic sabotage Lena tried to pass off–but he also made sure Lena got demoted. Now she was stuck shooting staged waterfalls and hotel breakfast buffets for the travel catalogue division. Honestly? Served her right for trying to cross me.Apparently, I had Amira to thank for that little coup.I still didn’t know how I felt about her. The woman switched sides like it was Fashion Week and loyalty was just another trend. But one thing I did know? She was in love with Tyler. Hopelessly, painfully in love. That might’ve made her dangerous–but it also gave me leverage. And I wasn’t above playing that card if I had to.“So… you think this will work?” Camila’s voice broke through my thoughts and I remembered what I was doing… or trying to do.“I don’t know,” I sighed, moving all the mockups for my fall collect

ARIThe diamond necklace with the crystal pendant glinted in the mirror, catching the light like it still mattered. Like it still meant something. Gabe had given it to me for a birthday present. Placed it around my neck himself. Told me I looked like someone no one would dare cross. It had to mean something, right? A gift that rare didn’t come without weight.So I wore it today–not for sentiment, but strategy.Let him see it. Let him remember. Let him regret.But he didn’t. He barely blinked. No hesitation, no flicker of guilt. Just another command over the phone and a condescending smirk on his lips.“Nothing a blow dryer can’t fix,” Gabe said, like I was already a mistake he was eager to forget.I could’ve slapped him. I should’ve. But I wouldn’t give him that satisfaction. It would’ve meant I still cared.I’d lose a hundred battles before I let him see me lose the war.When I stormed into my father’s office, he didn’t even glance up from his damned ritual–always washing his hands
The Rejected Mate's Revenge Chapter 190
GABEI barely heard the door open behind me before Arianna’s scent hit the air–a soft, artificial sweetness that never sat right. I didn’t turn around. I was on the phone, my voice quiet.“Just put on a suit. I need you to go over there and fix this. She doesn’t need to deal with this right now. So please handle it.”Arianna moved closer as I flushed the urinal and moved to the sink to wash my hands.“You know the symbols on the outside of the door are there for a reason,” I said, not glancing at her.“Were you talking about Mila just now?” she asked, arms crossing as she leaned against the door. I ignored her and walked towards the office. It's been a busy couple of days with the move back to the Mora company. “You’re really moving on that fast, huh?” Arianna asked, following me. “The ink on the divorce papers is still wet.”“Nothing a blow dryer can’t fix,” I smiled, hoping to get rid of her, but the look on her face told me otherwise. “Arianna, don’t start.”Her lip curled. “Disg
