All Chapters of Became His Mate By Accident : Chapter 31 - Chapter 39

KAELThe drive back was quiet, but the car still carried her scent, vanilla, soft and lingering, mixed with the faint sugar of candy floss. It wrapped around me like a blanket I didn’t want to shake off.The whole date kept replaying in my head, frame by frame. But the moment that changed everything wasn’t the song, or the way she sang with me, or even her hand in mine. It was earlier. In the car on the way there. When her thoughts had flooded in, loud and terrified.She wasn’t Ice.She wasn’t the assassin. Wasn’t my killer. Had never been trained, had none of the memories, none of the skills. Just a terrified girl who thought she was going to die because of a name she didn’t even choose.The second I heard it, something in me settled. Real peace. The kind I hadn’t felt in years. Even Leka, that dark, snarling part of me, had gone completely silent, retreating so deep I could barely sense him.El stirred, voice warm and smug.Our mate’s real name is Ariana.I let out a slow breath. “Y

ELENAThe two days after that nightmare with Father dragged by in a weird blur. I didn’t see him once, not in the halls, not at meals, not even a shadow in the corner of my eye. Part of me was relieved. The other part kept waiting for him to pop up like a jump scare.I basically turned into a hermit. Stayed locked in my room, curtains half-drawn, phone in hand. The maids kept bringing food, fancy little plates of pastries, fruits cut into flowers, soups that smelled amazing. At least I was eating like a queen while hiding from my life.Silver linings, right?Until today.The door opened without a knock, and Mum swept in like she owned the air itself. She took one look at me buried under blankets on the chaise, phone glowing in my face, and planted her hands on her hips.“Do you want to turn into a mushroom that badly?”I blinked up at her, brain stalling. “What?”She sighed dramatically, crossed the room, and sat right next to me. Then she cupped my face in both hands, deadly serious.

ELENAI sat there on the dirty floor, legs sprawled out like dead weight, staring at nothing while Roundy's words looped in my head like a broken record.Was I permanently crippled?The question hit me hard, making my chest ache. I dragged myself across the rough concrete to lean against the wall, SCRAPING my palms as I went. Took a deep breath that didn't help at all."Roundy," I said, voice cracking a bit. "I want to ask just one question. And if you dare tell me you can't say because it's confidential, I'll... I'll do something you'll never imagine."What is black slin?The silence dragged on forever. My eyes started twitching from the mix of anger and frustration bubbling up, making me want to scream.Then Roundy's voice finally came, quiet and reluctant.{Original Elena created black slin for reasons I can't recall right now. But here's how it works: First day of contact, nothing happens to your wolf, but the human's lower body gets numb. Second day, all five senses start failing

KAELI pulled every werewolf guard and human cop I could reach to find Elena. Orders flew from my mouth sharp and urgent, voices echoing through the palace halls as men scrambled to obey. The night blurred into a frenzy of activity, search parties spreading out like shadows across the kingdom. I barely slept, barely breathed, my mind fixed on her face, her scent, the way the bond felt frayed and distant.But it was as if she vanished.No trace. No witnesses. No leads beyond the wrecked car and the dead driver. The bond tugged at me constantly, a dull ache that grew sharper with every hour, whispering that she was alive but suffering. Guilt gnawed at me, heavy and unrelenting. I had promised to protect her. I had let her go home alone. How could I have been so careless?El, my wolf, grew restless inside me, pacing and growling, demanding his mate. His agitation fed mine, making my skin itch, my temper short. I wasn't calm either. Not even close. Rage simmered under the fear, hot and r
