Todos los capítulos de Once His Mate, Now His Regret: Capítulo 21 - Capítulo 30

After the ordeal of the night before, I knew I needed to keep some distance from Aurielle. Nerissa never mentioned the way her parents treated Aurielle. She always told me they loved Auri more than they did her. I mean, it’s expected. She is their biological daughter. I assumed they tried to love them both, but I believed Aurielle was the favorite. To see him slap her made me feel angry. Who does that? Who hits their own daughter because she’s getting a divorce? That’s disgusting. I had to throw him out, and now I don’t understand what to do about this feeling clawing at me. How long has this been happening? Has Aurielle just hidden her parents' mistreatment of her from her sister and me?I almost laughed at myself. Why would Aurielle come to me with her problems? Still, it doesn’t feel right knowing that she’d been.... I mean, it’s not like I treated her any better, but it’s not like I hit her even once. I wasn’t raised that way. Sleep eluded me that night. I hated the way the si

I might not be the smartest beta in the world, but I’m definitely smart enough to know when something is about to go down with Matthias. I mean, I know him. He might not know a thing about me, but I know enough about him to fully steal his identity. As creepy as that sounds.I only know what I know because I loved him the entirety of our marriage. But I knew the second I saw Matthias’s friend that I was in a bit of trouble. Eric is his name. Himbo to the core. Thick in the vein, empty in the head. He’s amongst the elite forces that Matthias created to protect the pack. You don’t need brains for that. I could tell he was going to report back to Matthias. Not because he thought I was cheating, but because Alpha Aldric is kind of a celeb. His reputation is gold. No, worth more than gold. I sighed and sat on my bed as Matthias shut the door behind him. I took my shoes off one at a time, waiting for him to start this already tense conversation.“When did you two become friends?”Do I t

There are times when I realize being me is a tragic story. The first time was my kidnapping, the second was when I was saved, only to realize my parents had replaced me, the third... I could go on. The list is longer than the list of things I’ve ever owned. But today was a different type of tragic. Matthias left early, I’m not sure if he was trying to beat me out of the house or not, and somehow my parents found out, so they showed up just as I was getting ready to step out and call Alpha Cassiel.I had to change our plans because it seemed ridiculous for him to drive from his pack to mine just to pick me up. But now I’d be late meeting him because of these people. My father looked like a man staring down a vicious criminal, and my mother hid herself behind him. Coward. What a coward. They really should check who they allow to become parents. These two aren’t cut out to raise their own beta child. I held my bag, leaning against the closed gate. Refusing to let them in. If they wa

The devil comes in pink, you’ve heard it from me.Nerissa stood in front of the gate, her hair blonde as ever. Curly, flowing over her shoulders. A strapless black dress and heels that matched. With an overnight bag and a huge smile.If Matthias wasn’t standing so closely behind me, I’d have slammed the gate and stormed into the house.Unfortunately, I can’t pull that off. Suddenly, I feel like vomiting. Suddenly, my freedom is much farther away than I was ready to accept.The only thing I could say was- “I told you she wasn’t dead.”I shoved him out of the way and walked the path towards the house. Heels hitting the ground could be heard following me, and someone grabbed my elbow. Forcing me around. Nerissa hugged me tightly. Likely for show.“Oh, I’ve missed you so much, Aurielle. It’s been so long. Too long.” She pulled back. Matthias was stunned.“You’re alive.” He whispered.She turned to face him. “Of course I’m alive. Didn’t Aurielle tell you? When we went on that break, I deci

I don’t know how to feel. My sister had just accused me of attacking her... without saying a single word. Matthias believed her, which isn’t weird, it’s actually kind of normal for him to take the side of the devil. But I’m just baffled. Was that like thirty seconds? A minute at most. The moment Nerissa left like the snake she is, Matthias dropped his fake smile.“What did you do?” he whispered, yelled. Like she was going to hear him. Actually, she might. I get the feeling she didn’t leave at all. She’s probably glued to the door wanting to hear him berate me. Well, I have a doctor’s appointment, and I will not be insulted today. “What did I do? What is wrong with you? Your ex pops up after three years, feeds you some story, and you immediately believe it? You believe she hasn’t been dating or seeing someone else. You think she was actually finding herself? You believe everything she tells you, even without proof? You are the definition of a fool.” I don’t know why I spilled my in
