All Chapters of The Scarred Mate He Never Loved: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Alpha NoxI'm in my chambers, a quiet exhaustion settling deep within me after the day’s activities, the training sessions I personally oversaw, ensuring every move, every formation, aligned perfectly with my standards, the countless revisions of my strategies, and everything I had so carefully and deliberately laid out long before now.It isn’t that I doubt my warriors or the effectiveness of my strategies. No… doubt has never been my weakness. But I am a man driven by precision, ruled by accuracy. Perfection isn’t just a desire, it is a necessity. I take my time with everything I do, refining, sharpening, perfecting, and it has never failed me, not once, from the very beginning until now.Alpha Philips knows this part of me; he sure knew what I was capable of doing when he had bridged this one part… Well, that's not even what I would have to say now.That's not what I would start counting right now. All that matters is that the time for whatever I'm to do with Silvermoon and his so-

RitaI woke up feeling unbelievably light, so relieved in ways that made me feel like a newborn baby. For the first time in what felt like forever, I was alive again… truly alive. My entire body felt free, no pain, no stiffness, no lingering ache. Just a deep, floating serenity that left me in quiet awe of myself.The herbs Beta Renz had given me must have been incredibly potent, strong enough to pull me under almost instantly. And in that blurred state, I drifted somewhere far beyond consciousness, somewhere soft and untouched. It felt like heaven, wrapped in the calmest, most peaceful, dreamless sleep I had ever known.A gentle warmth lingered over my skin, a soothing chill wrapped around my body in a way that felt almost unreal. It was too perfect, too comforting, and for a brief moment, I didn’t want to open my eyes again. I wanted to remain there, in that fragile illusion, until a loud knock erupted, pulling me out of the fairytale I had unconsciously sunk into.Two guards walked

Rita Marvin didn't just ask me to his bed… right?For a moment, I honestly thought I misheard him, because from where I stood, breath hitched, brows drawn together in stunned confusion, nothing about this felt real. My eyes slowly lifted to meet his, searching for some kind of contradiction, some sign that I had gotten it wrong. But there was none. His gaze was firm, unyielding, unrelenting, like stone carved with a single purpose.“I said, to the bed,” he repeated, sharper this time. “And don’t make me repeat myself.”His tone came out edged, cutting, yet beneath that cold authority, there was something else. Something faint, almost unnoticeable… a softness that didn’t quite belong.I sucked in shaky breath, the air trembling in my lungs, before turning toward the bed, which stretched before me like something out of a dream.A massive mattress draped in a thick, light-colored duvet that looked both inviting and intimidating at once. It was far too large, easily big enough to hold se

RitaA certain kind of chill enveloped me as I dropped down on that couch. It felt familiar in a way, but oddly strange. I couldn't tell what that feeling was, just as I couldn't yet tell what all the other emotions I’ve been experiencing ever since the marking ceremony were either.I remained curled up, my knees pressed tightly together, my arms wrapped firmly across my chest, as my entire body coursed with that cold sensation, one that felt exhausting, yet deeply, unnaturally freezing.It tugged at me with a kind of determination I still couldn't comprehend. Every single day, something mysterious kept happening, unfolding without answers, without clarity. I ducked my head into my crossed arms, trying desperately to ground myself, to steady the storm of emotions threatening to consume me.*****“What's the issue? Why are you suddenly sad?” I asked Kate as she sat beside me, her gaze locked onto mine with an intensity I couldn't ignore.She didn't respond. Instead, she slowly turned a

RitaMarvin closed the distance between us in a heartbeat, his hands snapping around my throat. I twisted beneath his grip, breath catching.“You dare speak to me like that?” His voice dropped, dangerous. “What gave you the audacity?”“I did nothing, Alpha Marvin.”“And yet you still speak?”A sharp breath left me, but I didn’t look away. He was the Alpha… yes. My mate… yes. But there comes a moment when fear loses its power, when consequences no longer matter.“I see I’ve been far too lenient with you,” Marvin snarled, his eyes blazing as his hold tightened. “The excuse you’ve grown has given you the nerve to address me however you please.”His fingers pressed harder against my neck, but I didn’t try to pull away. I didn’t fight him.My hands curled into the couch beneath me, gripping it instead, my gaze locked onto his steady, unblinking. I braced myself for whatever came next.Wasn’t it better for it to end all at once than to keep living in uncertainty… in cruelty?“My only crime,
