I screamed, turning her over. Her face was pale and lifeless, her mouth torn open at both ends, her eyes closed, and her body limp. Dread coiled over me as my chest heaved. My breath came out ragged, uneven, and my entire body trembled as though something inside me had shattered beyond repair.

“Becky!” I called, frightened when she didn't move.

I tried to lift her up from the mud, but her body was so weighty, and her arms fell limply to the side. That was when it made sense, like light itself w

  • The Scarred Mate He Never Loved   88: Cold in my arms

    Rita“Emily?”He asked.I’m stunned as he holds my chin, but then a flash of recognition hits me, just as quickly as it appears it melts away, replaced by confusion that I tried to pull away from.But he held me firm with just his finger, not strong enough to hurt, but his eyes held onto mine, something intense and unreadable that I couldn’t understand was there.My eyes dropped to his other arm and I didn’t turn, but he let go of Renz who dropped down onto his feet.“Who’s your mum?” he asked, but as I tried to push backwards, feeling a strange sense of dread curling into my body, he let go of my chin. His eyes blazed in confusion when a voice blared from behind.An average-looking man, almost the same age as him, appeared. His face contorted into a deep frown as he spoke, “Alpha, what are you doing?”The alpha’s face shifted as he didn’t turn immediately, something conflicting visible on his expression. His eyes followed mine, dropping low where Renz had managed to try to lift Marvi

  • The Scarred Mate He Never Loved   87: Recognition

    RenzWhen I had entered that battlefield with Rita, I knew one thing, that my instincts weren’t wrong. My findings couldn’t have been wrong.There was no possible way we could gain the upper hand in such a fierce, merciless battle against brutal dark forces without her, without her presence, without whatever power she carried within her. I had already confirmed my suspicions the previous day when I went to her room. But everything inside me cracked, my thoughts splintering into chaos, the moment I saw Marvin in the state I found him.He wasn’t just my friend. He was my Alpha. And even though he was stubborn, damn stubborn, and never gave attention to important matters other than those his thoughts were already fixed on, he was still like a brother to me. And I was his Beta… the one who had stood beside him through everything, even when it wasn’t easy, even when it burned.It pained my chest and made me rush to him, while also shielding Rita from the warriors, but I myself knew that wa

  • The Scarred Mate He Never Loved   86: Brutal Attack: Turning Point

    RitaFrom the distance I stood, far away from her reach, her lips muttered subtly as her eyes closed shut. I could pick every bit of whatever she was muttering, which was so strange to me, judging by my distance from her.It felt like an ancient language I strangely recognized as:“Let the spirit of the ancient grant me access through my offerings.”Then suddenly, something enveloped me, something strange I couldn't understand either, but it was there, oddly familiar, like the silent whispers at that well. Only now, I didn't feel so unconscious like I could have felt if it were that other time.Feeling unconscious at an hour like this would have been an automatic death sentence.The air itself felt heavier, thick with a looming danger that pressed down on everything. And then the power hit. It surged through me violently, like a current tearing through my veins, and the whispers grew louder, louder until they roared inside my head. My wolf stirred sharply, rising with a dangerous int

  • The Scarred Mate He Never Loved   85: Brutal attack: Her presence

    Rita Renz’s grip around my arm tightened as he finally led me out of the room, his urgency leaving no room for hesitation. Yet unease clung stubbornly to me, coiling tighter with every step. I was still unsettled about whatever it was, he had tried to propose earlier. My thoughts refused to settle, as dread seeped deeper into my bones. Outside was worse. The moment we stepped out, the loud howls and screams erupted from every corner, making every breath unsettling as the air outside felt tense and suffocating, carrying a different level of dread I didn’t even quite know existed. And worse, he and my wolf believed there was something I could do, especially if I followed through with whatever he had intended to say to me. But how? How was I supposed to fix something I didn’t even understand? I wasn’t even certain I could offer anything useful, let alone solutions to something this… catastrophic. But, honestly, after that loud howl I suspected was Marvin’s that rippled through the

  • The Scarred Mate He Never Loved   84: Brutal attack: His downfall

    MarvinThe moment I sensed the overwhelming numbers, and then the distant, echoing howl of another, far stronger wolf closing in around us, I knew something was terribly wrong.This wasn’t the small-scale attack we had assumed. Not even close. It was far more intense than we had anticipated. We were already outnumbered before we could even process it, and these warriors… they were trained, hardened, and dangerously equipped, nothing like what we had imagined facing.I would be lying if I said fear didn’t grip me at that moment. It swallowed me whole, tightening around my chest as flashes of the past flickered relentlessly before my eyes. Over and over again. And worse, Kendrick refused to surface. He remained locked away, silent, even in the face of such danger.Around me, my warriors scattered in shifting formations; some circling, some holding a single line, each fighting with everything they had against the intruders. But one painful truth burned deep within me: even with all their

  • The Scarred Mate He Never Loved   83: Brutal attack: The struggle

    RitaMy body was warm against a dry surface as I struggled to pull myself free from the heavy, peaceful grip of darkness.I heard voices, loud noises around me, but I was too weak to open my eyes even though I wanted to.“Hello, Aurora.”My wolf’s familiar voice cut through the thick fog of darkness, jolting something inside me awake. I tried to respond, but my lips felt sealed shut, stiff and unyielding, while my eyelids weighed like stone, refusing to lift.She stood before me, smiling softly. “It’s time,” she said, her tone calm, certain, like she knew something I didn’t.She reached for me, urging me forward, but doubt wrapped tightly around me. I didn’t understand what was happening. All I could hear were the voices, the relentless noise pounding through my ears, loud and throbbing like a pulse I couldn’t escape.“It’s time…” she repeated.With effort, I forced my lips apart. “What… time?” My voice came out rough, fractured, barely mine.Her smile deepened, almost knowing. “Wait

    Marvin “I still don't know what happened. I can't even put them down or make any sense out of it. When I dropped on the floor, the entire air felt alive, like a hum in my skin. It was real, and then the silent hum of voices came. I didn't see anyone, but I felt their eyes on me, I felt their prese

    MarvinI had been staring at that silver blade for a long time, different thoughts sprawling wildly through my head like vines I couldn’t cut down. I didn’t even know what had gotten into me, but by the time my door burst open and two guards stormed in, I dragged my gaze away from the sharp, gleami
