Lahat ng Kabanata ng Once His Mate, Now His Regret: Kabanata 251 - Kabanata 260

I sent Auburn with another mercenary to get me a list of ingredients to make chicken stir-fry. I forgot to buy food when I was ordering furniture. I’m not really worried about it. That’s the beauty of having people to do the easy work for you. I stepped back into the living room after they left. Aurielle was slowly falling asleep while thinking. She hadn’t noticed me, which was good. I just wanted to see her. I wonder what exactly Matthias said to her that had her tense. Was it really just a confession of his feelings?Do I need to worry? Does she still have some lingering feelings towards him?I rubbed the ache forming in my chest. I told myself it was ridiculous to worry. Aurielle was just worried I’d snap Matthias’s neck. I mean, I kept myself decent when she was married to him, so I expect him to... well, not act like I did, but also he’s not allowed to share his feelings with her. He needs to move on, I thought we had an understanding. He should let go of the feelings he has fo

I watched them, quailing my rage and jealousy. Aurielle looked like someone had stabbed her, though. I haven’t seen her in a while, so I had no idea just how bad it was. Her accident left her with a lot of injuries. Seeing all the patches and bandages on the exposed parts of her skin was heartbreaking because Aurielle didn’t deserve any of this. That wasn’t the reason she looked hurt, though. It was the thought of Cassiel dying. She was clutching his hand tightly— almost too tightly, but he didn’t seem to mind. The fondness in his eyes as he looked at her made me tense. Though they included me in making sure the trap worked perfectly, I remembered what Cassiel had asked of me when we last spoke. The look he had given me had been serious and ensured I promised to fulfill this favor. If the trap failed, Cassiel would pull a move his family only saved for extreme emergencies to take out the rogue— Creighton, that’s the name. But he knows it’s dangerous and it would likely result in hi

I went towards the basement, knocking on it gently. I wanted to talk to her about something. “Safe word?” Eliana's voice came through minutes later. “We don't have one.” The locks came off one at a time, and I fought back a laugh. Eliana poked her head out, shooting looks everywhere like she was trying to see if someone else was with me. “That guy isn't here right?”Oh, I forgot she told us she ran into a random man early this morning. Around like 3 AM. I had to explain who he was to her. “You mean Matthias?”“Yeah, your ex-husband.”“I don't see him. Last I checked, he was in the kitchen.”Her expression was nervous for a while before it changed. The muscles on her face that had been tightly wound loosened, and she exhaled. “Come down if you want to talk.”I nod, and she steps a bit to the side. Giving way for me to walk past her. I jogged down the stairs, holding the pieces of paper tightly. Cassiel had left the house early while everyone else was asleep to grab Creighton's re

Seeing her cry was what made me blurt out the idea I had. Aurielle was so worried for me that she couldn't stop the tears. I feel like such a dick. I didn't want her to cry. I can't be the reason she cries. Of course, I want to live, but I know alphas out for revenge need to shed blood to let their guard down. It's still going to be a trap. Of course, whether I die or not, he's going to be stopped. That was the idea. Now I have to figure out a way to live so my future wife doesn't end up crying for me. I kept wiping those pesky tears away. I didn't want them staining her beautiful face. Although she's a pretty crier. I'd prefer if those tears were happy ones rather than sad ones. “You…” Her lips trembled, eyes flashing with desperation to believe I hadn't just said what I said. “I will win. I promise I will win. Seven days from now, we'll be locking up or burying the rogue.” I say with confidence. Not because I believe I can pull this off. I may know his identity, but I still don'

I was in the middle of a conversation when the call came in. Cassiel was a great strategist. Those were never rumors. Seeing him plan in person is kind of inspiring. But we both share a problem.Aurielle.It was hard for me to listen while her in the same space, but at the same time I was too scared to stare at her longer than a minute. Cassiel would surely break my neck.He was a good multitasker. Capable of making a plan that would ensure his survival, while also throwing in these disturbingly lustful looks Aurielle's way. She kept her distance, wanting to focus on the plan and not get distracted.She was taking his safety a lot more seriously than he was. We were discussing how to involve Creighton's daughter when the pesky buzz of my cellphone came in. I thought of declining it at first when I saw one of my servants' numbers, and I immediately knew something had happened. The only reason they would call is if there was a major emergency. “I need to take this,” I said aloud. Auri
