Marvin

He dropped the files one after the other onto the office table before speaking.

“Your dad would have kept you updated on the severity and importance of these files,” he began, his tone calm but firm. “But since these past few days have been rough, and with the Luna’s health complications, he instructed me to walk you through them.”

He opened the first document, the pages rustling softly.

“These concern the four surrounding borders of the pack.”

He went on to explain details I already kne

  • 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

  • The Scarred Mate He Never Loved   82: Brutal attack: The plan

    RenzWhen that howl tore through the air, loud, raw, and commanding, I didn’t need a second confirmation.I knew immediately that the war I had long foreseen had finally come to our doorstep.I had seen this even from the beginning, when that attack first came. But unfortunately, Marvin, being the stubborn leader he was, couldn't look past his grief and thoroughly examine the matter to prepare for this.I knew somehow, that whoever had attacked us was only giving us a warning of what was to come, something I doubted would be anything like we had ever experienced before.Just a warning… and two of our best warriors were lying close to death, drawing nearer to eternity like one clinging onto a slippery edge. Yet… we still wallowed in these past days after that signal.It was a grave negligence I wasn't about to allow again. So while Marvin was busy with the affairs of his mate and burdened with the wounded warriors, I had already secretly done the needful.Aside, Sable and her antics, o

  • The Scarred Mate He Never Loved   81: Brutal attack: alone

    RenzWhen Sable dropped to the ground, it wasn’t graceful, it was heavy, defeated. Her arms fell limply to both sides, fingers twitching before digging weakly into the cold marble floor. Her head hung low, her entire frame bent as though the weight of everything had finally crushed her down.She stayed like that, unmoving, silent, until my voice cut through the hall like a blade.“Ready to spill already? Or do you want to take in more lashes?” I asked, my voice sharp and edged.Marvin’s head snapped toward me, his gaze piercing, but he didn’t interrupt. Not a word left his lips. The elders, too, remained silent, watching, waiting, measuring.Sable stirred.Slowly, she lifted her head just enough for her eyes to meet the floor ahead of her. Not directed at us. Her lips parted, but no words came out. She wasn’t ready to spill the truth yet. And from the look in her eyes, she knew exactly what I was demanding of her.I turned to Marvin, drawing in a breath, ready to reveal the informatio

    RitaIt has been two days since everything happened, two days since the brutal sex with Marvin. I have remained in my room the entire time, broken in ways I never imagined I could be.

After Beta Raymond had left, I had picked up this very book from the desk because he had forgotten to

    He hadn’t even fully started his duties as my beta yet, mainly because I hadn’t resumed my own responsibilities as alpha. Not with all this chaos still clinging to my shoulders.

    RitaI couldn't even move my body even though I had wanted to. I was so weak and fragile that I felt like my body was even non-existent. It felt like my soul was being ripped away from me right before my eyes. It wasn't anything I could bear. It wasn't anything I could have wished for myself.But a
