All Chapters of Once His Mate, Now His Regret: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

“You’re awake,” I say, my tone coming out more excited than I wanted it to.“Yes. We need to pack and leave. I have a horrible feeling. I can’t stay offline this long. The council members and my pack might lose their shit.”My smile drops immediately because he’s right. We need to get back home and get a new phone. We can retrieve our numbers and contacts. I have everything in my phone backed up and secured, so I can get the messages. I still haven’t told Cassiel what I heard while listening to Nerissa’s conversation with that guy Victor.This wasn’t the time to bond about anything. The region was in chaos, and we needed to do something about it. I slid out of the chair and nodded. “Let’s go.”Eliana stood up too. In about forty minutes, we packed up all the important things she had in this bunker and placed them in the only car she owned. One she didn’t even drive. A minivan. Cassiel drove, while Eliana and I conversed in the backseat with her asking me what I planned to do about w

Her words rang through my head. I couldn’t get over those words. She loves me. She loves me. We’re basically married then. Forget everything else. We’re officially mated. No need to establish the bond. No need for anything. Those words are binding.I’m never letting go. I think she said something about not regretting this but my brain had melted at that point. I should be asking questions. When did she realize it? Does she feel pressured by my feelings? I’d hate to hear these words then later find out she didn’t mean them and was trying to say what she thought I’d like to hear. But I have to give her more credit than that. Those words sounded real, they sounded honest. Like she couldn’t wait to say them any longer. Her mouth moved against mine, her taste felt intoxicating as our tongues circled each other.I cupped the back of her neck, pulling her impossibly closer, like I could fuse us together if I just held tight enough. She made a soft sound—a quiet gasp against my lips— that

I got an email letting me know Alpha Aldric would be coming to my pack in a few hours. It was a standard thing to get me to call my people at the entrance of the pack, so he doesn’t have to stop his car once he arrives. It showed respect, and I appreciated the heads-up. I was at an empty building that I’d set up to turn into another branch of my office, but now I was using it to hold all the people that attacked my home hostage. Nerissa and Rhysland came back this morning. They didn’t look bothered at all, but Nerissa did seem shocked that I was standing alive and well.We got into a huge fight because I told her she needed to get the fuck out of my house, and she said she would drag me to hell first. I got my ring back by force and threw both her and my unwanted brother out into the streets. She can drag me all she wants, but I will not house my enemies. That girl is just evil, and so is my grandmother. If anyone comes for my heritage, my birthright, I will have them executed on t

I may not be the smartest when it comes to certain things, but I’m pretty sure I know how to make a good plan. Actually, that’s not entirely true. Half the time, I’m improvising and hoping things work out. Still, I have to admit, I’m proud of how these plans turned out, even if they were met with a fair amount of pushback.After meeting with the council members, Cassiel had returned upstairs, looking as though the weight of ten worlds sat on his shoulders. He found me and Eliana hunched over the bed, our heads close together, plotting in quiet voices. When we told him what we were planning, his reaction was exactly what I expected. He was not happy about it. Not happy about having to cooperate with Matthias, not happy about the idea of his sister being involved in something dangerous, and definitely not happy about anything the council had told him earlier.For a while, the air in the room was tense enough to choke on. Then, out of nowhere, something in his expression shifted. I’m not

I moved away from the door, my fear slowly turning into annoyance. What on earth is she even doing here? I grabbed Eliana’s elbow, dragging her to a further part of the office. I motioned for her to give me her phone.“Do you know who's behind the door?” She whispered and I nodded. Slowly, she reached for her phone, slipping it out of her pocket.I immediately put it on silent. Did the same to mine as well. Then I texted Cassiel.Me: Thalia is at your office. Trying to get in. Call her off. His reply came in an instant. Cassiel: She's not supposed to be there. Give me five seconds.I sent him a simple ‘ok’ then waited. It didn't take long for the results to kick in. Her phone started ringing. I snuck back towards the door to hear what was being said. I couldn't hear Cassiel's voice, but I heard Thalia’s loud and clear.“Sir, I—” she paused. “Who told you? Sir, I'm allowed to be at the building. My probation doesn't include…. Sir, you can't fire me over this. I'm not even at your o
