Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Mate's Mistress Regretted Stealing My Exclusive Ride: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

I nodded as the sleek, black Lamborghini Aventador that costs more than tens of millions, rolled to a perfect stop in front of me. The leader of the Elders, an older werewolf with silver streaks in his hair and eyes that seemed to see right through me, stepped out and gestured grandly toward the car."Xena, you deserve this," he said, his voice grave but proud. "Please accept this tailored car, exclusive to you. You're our pack's hope."I glanced at the car, its polished surface gleaming under the moonlight, and then back at him. "Healing others... that's my obligation," I said quietly, almost reflexively. "You don't have to do this.""No, Xena," he replied firmly. "This car is tailored to your every feature. And most importantly, it has a unique function, every traffic light will turn green only for you. So you can get to those in need faster. Heal them more efficiently."I exhaled and nodded. "Okay. I got it."I slid into the driver's seat, the leather hugging me like it was made fo

She didn't fully press her heel onto my face this time, but it was close enough to make my stomach drop. Instead, she lifted it slightly, just enough to smile that horrible, triumphant smile. I could see the glint of her high heel, perfectly aimed at my eyeball. If she stepped down, I'd be blind. My heart raced.I tried to squirm, to move out of the way, but the soldier leader had me pinned. His weight pressed me down hard against the concrete. I wasn't a match for them-none of my healer skills mattered here.Selena's heel hovered, a heartbeat away from crushing my eye. My instincts screamed, and I screamed louder. "Sorry! Beta Selena! Sorry!"Her smile widened. She didn't step on me. Relief washed over me in a wave, but I knew this was temporary. Maybe... maybe if I played soft, I could buy myself some time."Beta Selena," I began, my voice trembling, "please... I really need to go..."She didn't even let me finish. With a snarl, she yanked my hair with all her strength, jerking my

I wasn't fully awake when I saw Selena storm toward me. Her heels clicked hard against the floor, her perfume choking the air. Before I could react, she snatched the phone out of my hand."Don't even dream of texting anyone," she shrieked. Her voice cracked like a whip. Then she slammed the phone onto the ground and stomped on it again and again until the screen shattered like glass under ice.Something inside me snapped. My chest burned. My heart felt like it was being torn apart by claws. The pain dragged me under, and the world went black.In the darkness, I thought I saw him, the Lycan Chairman. His figure was hazy, his voice desperate."Save me... Xena. You're the only one who can..."I reached for him, crying, choking out apologies."I'm sorry. I'm sorry I can't. Please forgive me."But then his face appeared instead, Selena's face. Her eyes glowed red, dripping with blood. I screamed inside the dream.When I jolted back to consciousness, my throat ripped open in a fit of coughin

I clenched my jaw so hard it hurt. My body was weak, but I forced my voice out."Listen to me. Cure me. Do whatever you can, use everything you've got. This is your last chance to redeem yourselves."They thought I was bluffing, but I wasn't. I knew Ethan had already slipped a message to the Elder Leader. Ethan was quiet, but smart. If I didn't make it out of here, he'd make sure every single one of them paid. He'd bury them with me.But Selena still didn't get it. That girl lived in her own world. She laughed coldly and stepped closer."What's your problem, huh? You destroy Yorick's future, and now you try to threaten us? You've got no cards left, Xena."She turned to Yorick with that fake sweet smile."You should reject her right now. Do it, and I swear, on my name, I'll make sure you're back in the running for Alpha. That's nothing for me. I can handle it."I glared at him. He hesitated, shifting from one foot to the other.Yorick. Reject me. If you have even a drop of guts, do it n

I could feel the silence pressing down heavier than the bullets that had just been fired. Selena's body was still warm on the ground, her blood soaking into the dirt. The spoiled Beta's daughter, who just hours ago had been barking orders at me, now lay motionless with her eyes open, frozen in disbelief.Everyone saw it. Everyone heard the gunshots. Three clean bullets, arm, chest, heart. The Elder leader hadn't even hesitated.And now, every single person who hurt me before... every single one of them realized how badly they had screwed up.Luna's lips trembled. She clutched Yorick's arm like a drowning woman holding onto driftwood. "Tell them," she whispered frantically. "Tell them you're Xena's mate. Maybe, maybe they'll think twice."I almost laughed. The desperation in her voice was pathetic.Yorick looked at me, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "Don't you remember? You pushed me to reject her minutes ago. And she rejected me too. We're not mates anymore."His words cut
