All Chapters of The Scarred Mate He Never Loved: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Dread coiled tightly around me, squeezing the air from my lungs, but it was quickly swept away when she suddenly stopped and barked at me, snapping me out of my daze faster than anything else could have.“I think you need eternity before you fill those drums with water? Ahh… answer me! What's keeping you here all day like you have the entire world's time zone in your cursed coven and can do whatever the heck pleases you.”Anna's rants had me spinning back into motion automatically. The creeping unease, the dread that had been wrapping around me all vanished in an instant.I dipped the bucket with urgency and hauled it up again with water. From the corner of my eyes I could see her burning and flashing her teeth as though she were restraining herself with everything she's got not to hit me on the face.Good. At least I don't get to receive yet another slap this time. Anna didn't say a word, nor did she leave, as I balanced the heavy bucket on my head and hurried off to empty it into th

RitaThey led me towards the second floor and my weak heart was already beating even faster as Marvin’s scent wrapped around this floor.Both intoxicating and overwhelming. I wanted to drop my head into his neck and inhale it more, because it was soothing and making me hungry in ways I lacked answers to. Marvin wasn't anyone to make me feel this way with our history, the torture, the hatred, and then those darkened promises, but I can't help it, as his scent wrapped over me like something unnaturally real. Was this how fated mates felt when they perceived each other's scent? Does it mean Marvin feels this way too?If he did, then why did he keep torturing me? Why did he offer me death as an option and vow to make every breath I took pay with nothing but brutality?The guards soon knocked and pulled the door open, instructing that I go inside, which I hesitated and I knew that was a stupid thing to do.When I stepped into the room, I saw Marvin standing in the usual spot, holding the

He hadn’t even fully started his duties as my beta yet, mainly because I hadn’t resumed my own responsibilities as alpha. Not with all this chaos still clinging to my shoulders. So what exactly could have demanded his attention so urgently?Or… did it have something to do with his dad?He exhaled sharply.“Something of utmost importance. Please, can we proceed with the examining process?”He stepped closer and suddenly snatched the whiskey bottle from my hand with a deep scowl.“And don't always get your system jammed up with excessive alcohol. You know as much as I do that this isn't any good for your health, and yet you choose to indulge in it,” he finished with a hiss as he dropped the bottle in the bar and turned to me.“Maybe I would start with what's first.”“Which is?” I'm getting pissed already as I stared at Renz, the whiskey he had dropped back and his actual stunt after showing up almost an hour late from our scheduled time without any clear answers as to what could have be

RitaIt has been two days since everything happened, two days since the brutal sex with Marvin. I have remained in my room the entire time, broken in ways I never imagined I could be. Kate has been sneaking in occasionally to check up on me.Healing hasn’t been easy either. My wolf is still weak, and the soreness in my body reminds me constantly of what happened. Every movement aches. Every breath feels heavier than it should.I still don’t know who carried me the other day and brought me back to my room, but I can still feel that warmth lingering even after these two days.Anna hasn’t come to get me to do anything, and I still can’t wrap my head around why. I don’t know if it was Marvin’s command or something else, but whatever it was, it has given me more time to rest and properly heal.Kate has been so sweet ever since. She’s enraged with what Marvin did to me but can’t challenge her Alpha or do a damn thing about it. One of the new maids was sent in to serve me meals twice in the

I'm standing by the window, staring out at the vast stretch of Silvermoon through the dim, grey dawn of morning. It's already past five, yet I'm still here waiting for Kate to return, my mind circling endlessly around every piece of information she shared with me the previous day.Kate had returned late in the evening to hint at how far she had gotten with the proposal she mentioned earlier. From what she told me, everything seemed to be going perfectly. She had managed to convince Jackson to help, and according to her, he was more than willing to do so.That pretty much said, it made her more delighted as she carefully began laying out the plans. Silvermoon was an enormous pack with heavily guarded borders and constant patrols, especially during the night, so nighttime was immediately ruled out of the plan. According to the briefing Jackson had given her, morning security wasn't nearly as tight due to the shift changes and the usual rush of activities inside the packhouse.I also lea
