บททั้งหมดของ The Lycan's Abused Fated Mate: บทที่ 161 - บทที่ 170

Melissa's POV After a barrage of threats, slaps, and unwanted advances, Osbert finally released me. One moment, he was charming, and the next, he reverted to his darker side, more monstrous than ever. It's amusing how werewolves behave. They were already whispering among themselves about how I was still sharing a bed with their leader, fully aware that he remained my mate since he had yet to reject me. I still had chores to tackle, including scrubbing Osbert's bathroom, and I needed to finish quickly before he returned. With midnight approaching, I wanted to avoid his presence tonight; I wasn’t in the mood for his harsh words. I sank down beside the toilet with a weary groan, resting my head against the cool tiles. I should have been resting due to my pregnancy, but instead, I was burdened with more tasks. I desperately needed to escape this place, inform Dane about my pregnancy, and reclaim my rightful position. I couldn’t let another woman take what I had worked so hard f

Melissa's POV A heavy silence enveloped us as Osbert posed his question. I had anticipated him uncovering my secret, but I never expected him to assert that my pup belonged to him. Hadn't he previously insisted he didn't want any pups? What had changed, and what about his mate? My mind raced with questions, but I struggled to find the right words without sounding foolish or revealing too much. Osbert's face reflected a mix of despair and fear. His sudden shift in demeanor left me bewildered, and instead of easing my anxiety, it only heightened it. "Osbert, I didn't know how to approach this. You warned me against having pups, and I feared your reaction. You’ve nearly taken my life on multiple occasions, so I had to act to protect my child." I blurted this out, shattering the tension in the air. I was taken aback by how easily the lie slipped from my lips. I had promised myself I wouldn’t say it, yet my mouth seemed to have a mind of its own. My wolf growled in disapproval

Gianna's POV"What!" She palmed my mouth as I stared at her wide-eyed, never believing she was capable of imagining, let alone doing something like that.I bit my lip and nodded quietly as she slowly removed her palm from my mouth. At one point, I feared she was going to killing me for screaming. Her eyes became cold with guilt."Gianna, I'm confused." I'm not sure what to do. I've been thinking about it for a while, and that's the only means I have right now. I never dreamed I'd be capable of thinking such horrible thoughts, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Miles is going to murder me one way or another if he finds out, and I can't deal with the changes in my life and that of my baby. You just have to help me," she whispered as her eyes became dark with tears once more.I wipe them off and brush her hair back. "Listen, I cannot judge you. I have had darker ideas than you. But I don't want you to be hurt while attempting to redeem yourself from the web you've built. T

Gianna's POV “Who is this Natasha?” The question slipped out before I had a chance to think it through. “Natasha is my cousin, and she's really nice. I think you two will get along great.” “Are you even hearing yourself? It’s clear that Natasha doesn’t know anything about our pack. Why are you trying to push Angel away? Is there something I should be aware of?” “There’s nothing to worry about, babe. I just want you to feel comfortable with my family. My sister would have joined us, but unfortunately, she had to handle some matters in her pack over in France. She’s the Beta there.” “You still haven’t answered my question, Dane. Why are you trying to distance Angel from me? She’s my best and only friend here, and if I’m going to support you properly, I need her by my side. If this is about Miles, I…” Dane let out a deep sigh. “You don’t need anyone’s help to support me. You’re already perfect as you are. And just so you know, Angel is swamped with her own pack responsibilitie

Gianna's POV Dane was in the room with me, and for the first time, I chose to ignore him because I was absolutely furious. There was something about him that felt off, and I couldn't shake off the feelings of unease and jealousy. I was dying to know if his strange behavior was linked to Melissa's impending arrival. After the rogue's confession, he simply ordered his arrest and carried on with his meeting. When I grew weary, he suggested I take a break. I should have been focused on the meeting, especially with the looming threat of war, but my thoughts were racing in every direction, consumed by the fear of losing my mate to another woman—particularly one who claimed she didn’t want him. Dane walked over to the dining table and glanced at the dirty dishes left behind. I had just finished dinner and felt guilty for not waiting for him, but I assumed he wouldn’t be coming up tonight; he usually spent more time at the office. “Did you enjoy the food?” he inquired. Instead of
