When I’m Gone, You Love Chapter 131 – Sinister
Neah's POVI called Martin from my mother's sitting room with the door locked and my wolf pacing inside me like a caged animal.He answered on the third ring. His voice was calm, I hated that voice. I hated everything about Martin, from his patience to his principles to the way he looked at Beatrice as though she were something precious rather than the curse she actually was."You need to marry her," I said. "Now. This week. Take her somewhere, find someone to perform the ceremony, and make it legal before Cedrick figures out what he's doing."Martin was quiet for a moment before he spoke in a harsh tone, “You must be upset, Neah. King Cedric has reunited with his old lover.” What's happened?""Cedrick is her boss. He's installed himself at the school where she works. He's created a position for her, trapped her with some legal clause from her brother's case, and declared her his wife in front of the entire staff. That's what's happened."The silence on the other end was longer this t
When I’m Gone, You Love Chapter 130 – The Lawyer
Beatrice's POVI didn't flinch.Cedrick stood close enough that I could feel the heat of his wolf against my skin, and his words about wanting to kill Martin were still hanging in the air between us, and every instinct I had was telling me to step back and lower my eyes and survive the moment the way I'd survived every moment with this man for years.Instead, I stepped forward."You can't touch Martin," I said. "His family is just as powerful as yours, and unlike you, he cares about me. He has cared about me for years, Cedrick. Without conditions, without chains, without throwing money at me to keep me quiet."His jaw tightened. The gold in his eyes burned brighter."Have you fallen in love with him?" he asked. His voice was low and rough, scraped from somewhere that sounded less like anger and more like a wound. "Is that why you betrayed me?"The word betrayed sat between us like a blade. He considered my leaving a betrayal. Three years of raising a child alone in a fishing town, thr
When I’m Gone, You Love Chapter 129 – The Boss
Beatrice's POVSomething was wrong the moment I walked into the school.Petra held the door open for me. Petra, who hadn't spoken a civil word to me in three years, stood aside with a smile so wide it looked like it hurt and said good morning in a voice that belonged to a woman greeting a dignitary rather than a colleague she despised.The staff room was worse. Teachers I'd eaten lunch alone beside for months suddenly wanted to sit with me. Someone brought me coffee without being asked. The headmaster appeared in the corridor and shook my hand and told me my contributions had been invaluable and that the school was lucky to have me, and his wolf pressed flat and respectful against mine in a way it never had before.Then he told me I'd been promoted."Promoted to what?" I asked."Administrative liaison," he said. "You'll be working in the new office on the second floor. Your supervisor will brief you this morning."I climbed the stairs with a knot forming in my stomach. The second floo
When I’m Gone, You Love Chapter 128 – Mine
Cedrick's POVHenry's people gave me the address within the hour. I went alone.I kept my cap low and my wolf suppressed and moved through the streets till I found the house. The garden wall was low enough to see over, and the front windows were lit, and through the thin curtains I could make out the shape of the living room. A sofa. A bookshelf. The wooden rocking horse Martin had given the boy, sitting in the corner beside a basket of toys.Martin's car was parked at the curb.I stood across the street and watched.The front door opened. Beatrice stepped out onto the small porch, and Martin followed her. They stood together in the warm evening light, and Beatrice said something I couldn't hear, and Martin laughed, and then she stepped forward and put her arms around him.She hugged him. Her arms wrapped around his shoulders and her face pressed against his neck, and he held her back with both hands resting on her waist, and they stood like that for a long time, long enough for the
When I’m Gone, You Love Chapter 127 – The Document
Cedrick's POVBeatrice leaned against the teacher's desk with her arms crossed and she looked at me the way she had always looked at me when she was preparing for a fight."You left without saying a word," I said. "Three years, Beatrice. Not a letter, not a message, not a single sign that you were alive. I tore my kingdom apart looking for you."She said nothing."I was devastated." The word came out rougher than I intended, scraped from a place I didn't usually let anyone see. "You drugged your maid, disguised yourself, and disappeared in the middle of the night. You left everything I gave you on the dresser like it was trash. And you took my..." I stopped. The word heart was in my mouth.My wolf pressed forward, furious and wounded."What do you want, Cedrick?" Beatrice said. Her voice was cold and level and carried no invitation for sentiment. "You found me. Congratulations. Now tell me why you're here."I looked at her. She was thinner in the face but stronger in the shoulders. T
When I’m Gone, You Love Chapter 126 – My Good Friend
Beatrice's POVCedrick stood in the doorway of the supply room and looked at the man pinned against the shelves, and the dominance that poured off him was so absolute that Gideon's legs gave out entirely. He slid down the shelving unit and sat on the floor with his hands raised and his wolf pressed so flat it was barely detectable, and his face had gone the color of old ash.Cedrick turned his head slightly. "Henry."Henry appeared behind him, phone already in hand. He assessed the scene in a single glance, Gideon on the floor, me against the shelves, the closed door, the narrow room, and began making calls.Within ten minutes, the school's headmaster was standing in the corridor with sweat on his forehead and his wolf trembling inside him. He had no idea who Cedrick was, not specifically, but the dominance alone told him that whoever had just walked into his school outranked every wolf he had ever met, and the fear on his face was the fear of a man who understood that something very

Elena’s povLydia didn't wait to be invited in.She stepped past Blake like he wasn't even there, her heels clicking against our hardwood floors. "I'm here in my capacity as Chief Warrior," she announced, smoothing her dress as she surveyed our living room. "A formal visit."Blake moved to block h
