All Chapters of The Scarred Mate He Never Loved: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

MarvinHe dropped the files one after the other onto the office table before speaking.“Your dad would have kept you updated on the severity and importance of these files,” he began, his tone calm but firm. “But since these past few days have been rough, and with the Luna’s health complications, he instructed me to walk you through them.”He opened the first document, the pages rustling softly.“These concern the four surrounding borders of the pack.”He went on to explain details I already knew, how income flowed into the pack from different sources. The health care facilities. The schools. And most importantly, the mines.He hinted about how the wealth was distributed to maintain the affairs of the pack, mentioning the steady flow of income and the growing prosperity of Silvermoon.After about two hours, he pulled the last document. As he pulled it out, I caught the faint trace of a smug expression on his face before he began.“This one concerns the mines,” he said calmly, though th

RitaIt has been hours, or maybe even an eternity, since that bell rang, with a series of unease creeping and uncreeping down my spine. I’ve been frozen in this spot ever since the healer left, my mind spinning with what could be happening in the packhouse.The room is unnervingly still. Even the little air that slips into the space has been calm too. Not too tense, but still fighting with the unease in my guts. And worst of all, I didn't even want to stand up from this position, not because I couldn't or because of fatigue, but due to the fact that I didn't know what to do or what would happen next if I stepped out of this room.My thoughts spiral uncontrollably. If what I fear has happened, it might have been easier to lie down here and never wake again. Because if my worst suspicions are true, Alpha Philips wouldn’t even tolerate the death of his only son and heir. If any harm had touched him, there would have been no escape, no mercy.My heartbeat rose as those thoughts kept growi

MarvinI hated the fact that she kept resurfacing in my head and in every line of my thoughts. And Kendrick, my wolf, had been on it ever since. He wouldn't give me a moment of peace, not since mum and dad's departure, and it was beginning to piss me off even more.I had tried shutting him out countless times, but he always found a way back. No matter how many times I forced him into silence, he resurfaced again, louder and more persistent than before. Each time he returned, the intensity grew worse than the last.After I led Renz, my beta, to his room in the pack house on the first floor, I ordered a few of the maids to get him his meals while he freshened up.I was intending to wait for him to do all that so we could start the conversation all over again, because truly I had a lot to offload and quite a lot to ask him. We had missed roughly four years or thereabout of our lives apart from each other, and even if it was for a good purpose, of course he needed to be away, I still felt

Rita“Why did you leave the kitchen untidy in the manner it was when I entered?” Anna barked.She didn’t move from her spot. Her arms were folded tightly across her chest, chin raised, eyes blazing.Heat flooded my face. For a second, I wondered if I had misheard her. I forced myself to swallow the shock clawing up my throat.“I didn’t leave it untidy,” I said carefully. “I cleaned everything. I made sure it was in order before…”I couldn't complete the sentence without feeling every bit of the humiliation and embarrassment. Of course, that would have been before the guards came to take me to the tormentor.It hurt so much, but Anna, with her furious gaze and expression, wouldn't spare me any more time as she moved faster and gripped my arms fiercely, making me follow her as she pulled me forward.I gasped at the pain pulling through me from my core with each hurried step I took after her, oblivious to the maids who had assembled all over the packhouse with the same mocking laughter a

Marvin “At the marking ceremony, Becky and I were excited and expected that we would be bonded together as mates, but along the line, the unthinkable happened. Rita was intertwined with me instead. I tried to reject her because it was obvious something was definitely wrong somewhere. You know when I told you about our love life, Becky and I?” I said. “Yeah… I remember every detail of those moments and still have a few of the pictures you sent to me,” he replied, putting the pieces together patiently before I could continue. “We were so much in love with each other. It felt so real, so intoxicating and overwhelming, especially whenever she was with me, that I knew even before the marking that the speculations were right. We felt the bond and its connection even before the marking ceremony itself. So how then couldn’t Dad see the funny tricks beneath those smooth surfaces?” “I don’t understand,” he interjected, rolling his eyes. “Do you mean your dad stopped you from rejecting he
