LOGINNolan’s POV“If you all keep getting on my nerves, I might as well cancel the wedding!” At this point, I could no longer hold back the anger in my tone.Elder Benjamin’s voice seized for a brief moment before he finally said. “I’m sorry, your majesty.” He said, his voice much softer now. “We’ll pause the arrangements.”I didn’t even wait for him to say anything else; I disconnected the call.I let out a heavy sigh and then flung my phone on the bed in frustration.I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with everyone.It’s all my fault!If I weren’t so desperate to get Ronnie out of my head, I wouldn’t be doing this in the first place.A violent sound came from the other side of the room.Ronnie’s side.My eyes snapped towards the demarcation between us.No other sound followed.Of course, she was still awake, and she had probably heard my conversation over the phone.I turned completely, facing her now, then I took a gentle step towards her side of the room.She tried her best to remain
Ronnie's POVMy palms became slightly damp against my lap.Just a couple of days ago, we were acting like bitter exes who couldn't stand to breathe the same air, and now, here I was, wearing a stunning red dress, sitting across from him in an undeniably romantic setting.It felt entirely wrong, yet my heart refused to stop pounding heavily.Thankfully, the waiter arrived a few moments later, breaking the suffocating tension by placing two plates of hot food between us.The rich aroma of the meal hit me instantly, and to my absolute betrayal, my mouth watered.The stress from earlier had made my appetite disappear. But now, the presentation alone made my stomach grumble with genuine hunger.I quickly picked up my fork, deliberately dropping my gaze to my plate.I refused to look up at him.I couldn't risk meeting those eyes while my mind was spinning with such chaotic thoughts.I began to eat, forcing myself to focus entirely on the food in front of me.I couldn't just wait to finish t
Ronnie’s POVThe next morning arrived far too quickly.I barely noticed it.The curtains were still half drawn, allowing the sunlight to spill into the suite, yet I had woken up long before the sun even decided to show itself.My laptop sat open in front of me.Three notebooks were scattered across the table.Printed documents covered almost every available surface.They were evidence.Or at least what I hoped would become evidence.Because right now?Everything still looked like a complete mess.I rubbed both hands over my face.My eyes burned.My neck hurt.And my shoulders felt so stiff.Yet every time I considered taking a break, panic immediately crawled back into my chest.The first court hearing was approaching, and every second felt too important to give up for rest.Every minute felt like it could decide whether my future survived or collapsed completely.I clicked through another folder.Nothing.I only had the recording from the office, but I needed so much more than that.A
Nolan's POV "Please Nolan..."The sound of her words left me completely out of place for the first few seconds. After everything that had gone wrong between us? "She's still our mate." The voice of Enzo, my Lycan pressed, a hint of desperation in his tone.Not a chance. I'm not falling for this mate shit once again. "Ronita... I don't understand where you're trying to get to with this. Or what you're trying to achieve with this, but you are aware that I am getting married soon. What would my wife say when she hears that I went on a trip and spent a night in the same room as my ex-mate." I saw the way she blinked at the word 'ex-mate' She should get used to it. "Oh... I'm sorry. I totally forgot about that part. I... shit..." She stood quickly from where she had been sitting at the edge of the bed."I'm sorry... I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable or to disturb you with my issues. I'll find another way around it." The next moment, she was already heading for the door. I s
Ronnie's POV I could feel that violent twist in my stomach. "Oh shit!" The words slipped right out of my mouth as my eyes met with his.What a perfect timing! Nolan's eyes went over us for the longest one minute I had ever experienced in my whole life. The part that made me almost mad was the fact that I couldn't read his expression. I couldn't tell if he was mad, if he was jealous or if he didn't care at all. One step backwards.Then another. And then he turned and started going back to where he had come from. Okay? This is so not good. A lump formed in my throat, and without thinking twice, I rushed out of the elevator, already following behind him. I wanted to call his name. Ask him to stop and explain everything to him. But something inside of me felt like it was restricting me. You don't belong to him anymore, why the heck do you even think to apologise to him? I mean... You shouldn't care about how he feels. Yeah... That little TED talk I was giving myself, it wasn
Ronnie's POV The elevator doors swung open. I stepped in. Every part of my body seemed as though it carried its own weight. As I walked through the reception of Alte Tech, I could feel the heavy and judging gaze of everyone in the room. It was a real struggle to keep my head up, but I did. My steps were firm, like the last of my dignity depended on it.I soon arrived at the hotel, so that I could pack up my things and also search for somewhere else to stay till all of this was over. The receptionist gave me a warm smile as I made my way through the hall and towards the hotel elevator.A heavy sigh escaped me as I headed for the elevator. As soon as the doors opened before me, a feeling of disgust settled in the pit of my stomach.My fist clenched, fury causing a burning sensation in my skin. "You dare to show up here after what you did?" I snapped, trying to hold back from doing even worse. "Calm down!" Reuben said, his voice so calm, like he didn't know the gravity of what
