All Chapters of Mated To The Alpha Who Bullied Me: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

Cassian’s POV Sleep had become something of a myth. For the past two days since I saw her in those woods, nothing else has caught my attention. Nothing interested me. All I could think of was the feel of her lips against mine, the warmth of her scent wrapping around me, the electricity of her skin on mine. It consumed me. In a way I couldn’t understand. Yet I didn’t hate. I craved it. I craved her. Her scent still lingered in my mind. Soft. Floral. Wild.“Cassian,” Melissa sighed, exhaustion evident in her voice. “You’re spacing out again.” She accused. “It’s been worse since that night you went for a run,” her sharp eyes found mine, studying me intently. “What really happened?”I met my mate. My real mate. And I felt something real.But I couldn’t say that to her. Not yet. “I don’t know what you want Melissa,” I rubbed my temple, irritation growing. “What you expect me to say when all you do is repeat the same shit over and over again.” I rose to my feet.“The corona

Talia's POVThe car ride was tense. My mind kept going back to Cassian. His voice. His touch.I balled my fist, trying to ground myself. The summit was being held at Alpha Serena's territory. It did nothing to ease the tension. If Serena were to declare war on us… We wouldn't survive it. Not with everything currently happening. Not with the council already tightening their grip around his throat. Nicole sat beside Mason in the back seat, speaking quietly under their breaths.No one was relaxed.Not even the driver beside me. No one was pretending this was anything other than dangerous.Eventually the trees began to thin.Concentrate walls rose ahead, tall and imposing, carved with ancient symbols of the Alpha territories.Guards stood at the massive iron gates, their sharp eyes tracking every vehicle that approached.Serena's territory was larger than most.Richer too.Power radiated from the place like a living thing.Our car rolled to a slow stop as the gates creaked open

Talia's POVI didn't want to get out of bed.I wanted to stay buried beneath the covers and pretend the world outside didn't exist. Pretend last night hadn't happened. Pretend the memory of Cassian's voice saying my name didn't still echo in my chest.In my dreams, he had held me.Not the confused, desperate man from the summit—but the Cassian who used to know me. The Cassian whose arms felt like home.My wolf stirred restlessly beneath my skin, whining softly at the memory.But the world wasn't that kind. Reality still weighed heavily on me. Kathrine was in the library, exactly where I expected her to be. Her sharp red eyes were trained on the book in front of her, completely absorbed. The sunlight slithered in from the open window, casting a golden glow on her blonde hair, making it glisten under the sunlight. She looked ethereal. Far too beautiful for someone with such strange tendencies. "You really have a thing for staring," Kathrine murmured without taking her eyes off the

Cassian's POVHis clothes were rumpled and bloodstained, his skin bruised and split in places. But his chin remained lifted. His eyes blazed, but not with fear—with a fire I'd never seen before.Defiance."What the fuck is this?" I demanded, my voice cutting through the room.Elder Vérin's lips curved into a slow, satisfied smile. "This," she said smoothly. "Is judgment."My eyes narrowed. "This man before you has betrayed the pack," Elder Elara continued, her nose wrinkling in disgust. "He is a disgrace."My gaze moved across the five of them slowly.Lady Verin, Hadrik, Myra, Jarek, and Elara. Then finally, my gaze landed on Dimitri. He was an old warrior, another one of the men my father trusted. And now, a traitor? Accused of treason by the same set of people I knew not to trust. "What are his crimes?"They paused. For too long. Each of them exchanging glances—hesitant. My jaw clenched tightly. "Don't make me repeat myself," I warned, my suspicion rising. A low, hoarse

Cassian's POVThe air changed, becoming darker, sinister. I felt a sense of unease creep up my spine, that same unease that accompanied Kira’s presence.My wolf slammed against the barrier, more aggressively. My eyes locked onto my friend’s.Or her body. She was no longer my friend, the eyes I saw didn’t belong to the Kira I knew. “Kira,” my voice was dark, the anger barely concealed. She didn’t move for a second. Something was wrong.I could feel it.She stood in front of me, but she didn’t look like herself—not because of the darkness that had taken over. Her skin was too pale.Her lips dry, almost cracked.Dark veins spidered faintly beneath her skin, like something was rotting her from the inside out.Yet her eyes—They were sharp. Focused. Possessive.Locked on me.“Cassian,” she called softly.That voice.It slid into my mind like a blade wrapped in silk.Familiar and wrong.My fingers curled against the desk.I felt it instantly.That pull.That same invisible force that
