Lahat ng Kabanata ng Love is Hell; Mate is Heaven: Kabanata 331 - Kabanata 340

Victor’s POV“She has to wake up. I don't care how you do it, just make it happen.”I was staring at the small, flashing screen of my tablet. It was counting her heartbeats. Too slow. Much too slow.A decade of work. Ten years of grinding, of pretending to be a loyal dog for the very man I swore to kill. All of it hinged on a clean exit. If Alpha Gregory found out I let his daughter get drugged on my watch, I would be finished. He didn't care about effort or results. Only success. I’d seen him drop men for smaller mistakes. I’d lose my rank, and my position as commander. The mission would be over.Lydia had to wake up.I knew Wendy was vile, but I thought she was at least smart enough to avoid an obvious setup. I was wrong. Now her stupidity had become my problem.My mind raced. Werewolves heal faster near their fated mate. It was a common saying, a fact buried in the legends I

Dawn’s POV“Do you mind moving your car, Ester? We’re in a hurry.”I called out, my voice crisp in the cool morning air. Ester was leaning against the hood of my sedan, blocking our exit. Zina stood beside me, our two Lightclaw guests, Lily and Ivy, trailing a step behind us. Our destination was the packhouse, and we were already running late to help with the breakfast setup.Ester didn't move. She pushed off the car just enough to look at us. “I was waiting for you.”Zina gave a low, drawn-out sound of disbelief. “Reeeally?”We’d been fielding questions all night. Everyone wanted to know which Omegas were spotted in the VIP section at the beach and who we were hosting. Gossip was already spreading like a grease fire, and Ester was its newest customer. I could tell what she wanted.“Oh, com

Mabel's POV“Where have you been?” I asked.Zane froze. He had just slid into the bed. The mattress shifted slightly under his weight, and I heard the quiet snick of the sheets settling. He was trying to be sneaky. I’d watched him through my lashes as he tiptoed across the room. I almost smiled when he let out a tiny, relieved breath, thinking he was safe.His head turned toward me. It was slow, like a robot. “I just checked on something,” he said.“Is something wrong?” I sat up, pulling the thick duvet to my chest.He didn't answer the question directly. “What makes you think that?”I gave him a look. It was the only answer he needed. “I feel your emotions, Alpha. You’re worried.”He moved before I could ask again. Zane pulled me into his arms, crushing me against his solid chest, and kissed the top of my head. The movement was a perfect block. I knew he

Jamal’s POV“It’s not locked.”Sullivan paused outside my door. He was just about to knock, but I sent the thought straight to his mind. I needed him inside. I heard his steps move past the threshold.He should have been confused. It wasn’t even time for breakfast. I knew he was probably thinking that I should be busy enjoying my mate bond with Colton.“What’s going…” Sullivan’s voice cut off.I didn’t need to look at him to know what he saw. My eyes were glued to Colton, and I felt the familiar twist of apprehension in my gut.Tyler was squatting by the corner of the room. He gave Sullivan a quick nod, but he didn’t stop collecting the broken pieces of ceramic from the carpet. He was a silent, grounded presence that I desperately needed.Colton was shaking in my arms. I had her wrapped tightly in a thick bedsheet. I kept stroking her cheek, murm

Mabel’s POV“You really expect me to follow you down a one-way path based on your hunch?” I shifted closer to Zane, needing the solid warmth of his body.Sullivan studied us. His eyes caught the slight squeeze I gave Zane’s arm. “Do not be quick to refuse. I cannot disclose details, but you will lack nothing if you come to the Midnight Guardians pack. We will keep you safe. Think about it.”“There is nothing for me to think about,” I repeated. My voice was tight. I felt unsettled. Did he really think I would be fine going with him, knowing he didn't plan on letting me leave? Who accepts that kind of invitation?“We can confirm if my assumption is correct,” Sullivan said. His tone changed, suddenly more serious. That got both Zane’s and my full attention. “There is a seer in my pack. She has her ways to identify our members. Are you no
