All Chapters of My Mate Chose The Bitch Who Hurt Our Baby : Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

AURELIA’S POVIt was supposed to be a quiet afternoon. Kael had insisted I sit in the sun for a while, “to get some color back,” he said, and now we were by the courtyard fountain, the water trickling lazily as I tried to distract myself with a book.But I wasn’t reading.Across the way, through the open arch, I caught sight of them—Darius and Seraphina. She was leaning far too close, her hand brushing his sleeve as though she had every right to touch him. And he—he just stood there, his expression calm, his lips curved in one of those careful smiles that I knew by now was a lie.It shouldn’t have mattered. It was all part of his plan. Our plan.So why did it feel like someone was twisting a knife inside me?Before I could stop myself, the words slipped out in a sharp whisper. “She should keep her hands to herself.”Kael’s head snapped toward me, eyebrows shooting up. “

DEREK’S POVI found Kael later that night, lounging by the fire pit in the guards’ quarters, sharpening his dagger with a grin that told me he was expecting me.Of course he was.“You’ve been avoiding me,” he said without looking up, the rasp of steel against stone filling the silence. “Which usually means you’re brooding. Again.”I stepped into the room, shutting the door behind me. “We need to talk.”“Ah,” he drawled, still smirking, “there it is. The voice of doom.” He set the dagger down and finally looked at me, his eyes glinting with amusement. “This about Aurelia?”Her name on his lips made my jaw clench. “Yes.”Kael leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “Well, at least you’re not pretending it’s about the weather.”I ignored the jab and went straight to the point. “Whatever gam

AURELIA’S POVThe courtyard spun around me, blurred by the tears stinging my eyes. Darius’s words echoed in my skull, each one heavier, crueler, breaking me piece by piece.Seduce men with innocent looks.That’s why he attacked you.No wonder no one wants to befriend you.My throat burned. My chest felt tight, as though I couldn’t draw breath. I had been called names before—whispers behind my back, sneers from my own family—but hearing him say it… it crushed me.I staggered to my feet, clutching at my skirts like they might hold me together. “I didn’t—” My voice cracked, useless. My words were nothing against his fury.Darius only stepped closer, his gaze cold as steel. “Run, Aurelia. It’s what you’re good at, isn’t it? Run until someone else catches you. Maybe then you’ll have another story to tell about how you’re the victim.&rdquo

AURELIA’S POVThe next morning, the grand hall bustled with courtiers and servants, scrolls passing hand to hand as preparations for the upcoming council meeting with Alpha Draven’s pack began. Father sat at the head of the table, his face unreadable as the steward read out assignments.When Seraphina’s name was called, I nearly choked on my tea.“By Alpha Draven’s direct orders,” the steward announced, his voice echoing through the chamber, “Lady Seraphina will personally oversee the translation of trade agreements into our pack’s script, draft correspondence to the border lords, and review the grain and livestock ledgers to ensure accurate tribute counts. She will also serve as hostess during the reception of Draven’s emissaries—ensuring every guest is received with protocol.”A hush fell over the room.The color drained from Seraphina’s face. “What?” she spat, her voice too sharp for courtly ears. “That’s—those are clerical tasks. For scribes. For advisors. Not for me.”“Alpha Drav

CELINE’S POVMy breath still hadn’t steadied when the words tumbled from my lips. “That… that was your true scent, wasn’t it?”Darius froze. For the briefest flicker of a heartbeat, something raw and unguarded flashed in his eyes. But then, just as quickly, his face shuttered, his expression hardening into the cold mask he always wore with me.“You really are shameless, Aurelia,” Darius said flatly, his voice like ice cutting through bone. His eyes raked over me, not with desire, but with something that felt far worse—disgust. “Now I see it. First it was the pack members, then Kael, and now me. You weren’t just trying to control Seraphina—you’re flirting with me too. Seducing, just like they say.”The words slammed into me, sharp and merciless. For a heartbeat, I couldn’t breathe.But then the sting twisted into fire.My hands curled into fists, my wol
