MILA

This went better than I expected. The sight of Ari struggling to keep her composure was both amusing and satisfying, considering the many times she tormented and embarrassed me. The plus was being able to showcase my collection and watching Mister Deveaux’s amused face. I was definitely going to get his collaboration. The only question now was who was going to back me? Frances Deveaux might have been impressed but I was still new to the scene and a powerhouse like Aliz or Mora would be perfect.

During the show, my eyes met Amber who was smiling. She tipped her glass to me and I returned the motion. I mean give a girl an inch and she would take a mile, Amber performed perfectly and the reaction was more than I could ask for. Thank you, Amber. You might be a bit of a mess, but you’re a useful mess.

By the time the final model made her way down the runway, the audience was on their feet, clapping and cheering louder than they had all night. I stepped forward, taking my bow, basking i

  • The Rejected Mate's Revenge   Chapter 205

    MILA I woke up again. This time on a bed so soft it felt like clouds had wrapped around me. If I was truly dead, this would’ve been heaven compared to the last time. The morning light filtered through the curtains, giving the room a nice warmth glow. Still, my limbs felt like they were made of stone, and my throat was dry and raw. I shifted slightly, wincing as every joint protested. The sheets rustled. That’s when I saw him.A man sat slumped in a chair beside my bed, head tilted at an uncomfortable angle, arms crossed over his chest. He looked exhausted–like sleep was a fight he’d been losing for days. Salt-and-pepper kinky hair curled over his brow. A faint twitch in his scarred face made the marks look even more pronounced, more lived-in. And around his neck… the necklace I was familiar with.My heart skipped. I knew that face. He jolted awake suddenly, as if sensing me. Bleary-eyed, disoriented until his gaze landed on me.His deep brown eyes, mirrored of my own, widened with a

    MILAI thought we were safe. My body moved on autopilot as I grabbed Noah from the back seat, twisting just in time to shield him from the impact. Pain exploded in my ribs, white-hot and unrelenting, but I held him tighter. His cries were muffled against my chest, his small fingers digging into my shoulders. I checked for injuries. He was fine. Just scared. The car had slammed into the railing on the cliffside. Luckily we didn’t go over.“It’s okay, baby. We’re fine,” I whispered, forcing calm into my voice. “We’re okay.”The car had slammed into the guardrail. By some miracle, we hadn’t gone over the cliff. Rayne stirred inside me, already working to heal the fractures along my side. “Three broken ribs, twisted ankle, and possible bruised lung,” she muttered, but she wasn’t focused on the pain. Neither of us were.I gritted my teeth and pushed open the door. Every inch of my body screamed in protest, but I needed to get Noah to safety. He clung to me like a second skin, his breath

    TYLEREarlierI shoved the hospital doors open, chest tight, the tang of antiseptic hitting me like a slap. I followed the familiar voice down the corridor.“She caused this!” Arianna shrieked. “You have to sedate her when she wakes up. Who knows what else she would do? This crash was just the end of it!”I rounded the corner and spotted her—blood on her temple, her hospital gown askew, hair wild and eyes blazing. She was in full meltdown mode, jabbing a trembling finger at a weary doctor while a nurse hovered nearby, looking like she wanted to vanish.“Arianna,” I barked.She turned fast, eyes locking onto me like I was salvation. “Tyler! Thank the Goddess you’re here. You have to tell them, Mila’s dangerous. She too

    GABELaura leaned in closer, watching my screen. “So that’s Mila’s dad, huh?”Frederick sat in the living space, flanked by a few rogues he’d brought with him, quietly listening as Camila shared yet another story about Mila. He looked tense—understandably so. Reuniting with a daughter you thought was dead, especially after mourning her at a grave, only to realize she’d been standing right in front of you the whole time without you recognizing her… that kind of weight didn’t lift easily. Still, watching them finally connect, even through the awkward tension, gave me hope.“When did Mila say she was coming back?”Laura shrugged. “She was still at dinner with your brother and mom. I would think she would be rushing back after you texted her.”“Maybe

    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 re

    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
