All Chapters of Once His Mate, Now His Regret: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

The next few days after Nerissa’s arrest were completely uneventful. I was exhausted for days and just needed to rest. My hand was healing nicely. Cassiel had brought an outside witch doctor who dunked it into some weird concoction. I can use it now, the bone is strengthened but if i bump it into something, it’ll hurt like a bitch. The witch said it would take a month for it to heal entirely. So I’m still on painkillers, while having to use the unnatural mix every night before I take a bath. Nerissa was being processed. Cassiel is handling all the other problems while I stay home and heal. Everything is just.... so tame at the moment, I feel uneasy. Like I’m waiting for the next problem to happen. Eliana was still hanging around the house. I liked having her hear because Cassiel is going to slowly go back to his work, which means he’s going to be super busy. “Hi! They’ve announced when her execution will be held.” Eliana spoke, putting her head through the small gap between the glas

I put one leg over the other, crossed my arms over my breast, and tilted my head just a bit as I listened to probably the most convincing act Nerissa had ever put up. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t doubt that she’s afraid of death. Who isn’t? I’m scared to die before I do so many things. But I’m a normal person. I haven’t gone out of my way to target an innocent person for years. Then call that person for help. I’m not the devil. According to our history, even devils do things for a purpose. Selfish purposes, but it’s still something.Nerissa just hated me. She didn’t try, not once, to get along with me. So why should I care right now?She must have noticed my expression through her tears. She’s an ugly crier, by the way. That’s how I know this is genuine. “I know. I know I’m the last person you’d ever want to help. I know I wronged you, but letting me die... Aurielle, we’re sisters,” she whined. Dragging out the word ‘sisters’ like that is supposed to mean something to me. “Please, h

Nerissa’s execution came on a Sunday morning. I had been mentally preparing for it. By that I mean I barely thought about it until last night, then it hit me that come Monday morning, Nerissa would be gone, which is interesting. I dressed slowly. Her execution was in the afternoon, and people would show up early to set things up. The press would be there to record it. Her and everyone who sided with the rogue. They’d be paying for it. I feel indifferent. And it’s kind of worrying. I’m not supposed to feel like this. I guess my hate for her suppresses any other kind of feeling. I stared into the mirror, and my eyes were empty. Or soulless. So Nerissa was definitely wrong when she said this would haunt me. Why would it haunt me?Cassiel came up behind me, our eyes locking through the mirror. I smiled subconsciously, excited to see him even though we’d shared the same bed every single night. I turned around, my head tipping to the side. My hair fell off my shoulders, and Cassiel match

I never thought I would die. I always believed I’d find a way out even when things weren’t going my way. While in prison, I had time to reflect. To think about the choices that landed me in this horrible position. My cellmate was Anton, which was ironic. That fucker is the one who ruined part of my life. Had I stayed close to Matthias, married him, and become luna, Aurielle would have been tossed out.She never would have met Cassiel, wouldn’t have become this important person who could dictate anything. This heroine.I got greedy four years ago and left a comfortable situation for what I thought was better. It was infact not better, and it only dawned on me now that I’m staring into the cold, satisfied eyes of the girl I made cry for years that she had a point. I was responsible for this. I did this to myself. Death is at my door. There’s no one coming to save me. She isn’t going to change her mind and suddenly tap into the kindness in her heart. There’s no kindness left in her. No

/THREE MONTHS LATER/Vacations are something I’m unaccustomed to. I barely take them. Even in the past, when I’d leave the region, it was always for trade, for work. Never for anything this relaxing. After Nerissa’s execution, Aurielle and I decided to plan a trip to a pretty resort. But work got in the way. I had to assign more members of the council. Which was a lot of work, as trusting new people to handle the multiple packs in the whole region was no small task. And even after finding decent, successful people, they still heavily relied on my guidance and my wisdom. It was a dream of mine to have full power over the region years ago, but as someone who’s in love and wants to spend more time with his mate... having that power annoys the fuck out of me. Thankfully, after months i finally found the time to take Aurielle to one of the nicest places on the planet. Expensive, but the private resort ensures that wolves have the time of their lives. We’ve been here for three weeks. We
