All Chapters of My Mom’s Fiancé is my Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“Fuck!” Ronan snarled, slamming his glass down on the bar so hard the crystal nearly shattered. The amber liquid inside sloshed violently. He dragged a hand through his dark hair, pacing the length of the sitting room like a caged animal. The full moon’s aftereffects still lingered in his blood, making every muscle twitch with residual power and frustration.He yanked his phone from his pocket and dialed Kai without hesitation.“To my house. Now,” he ordered the moment the line connected, then hung up before Kai could reply.Ronan poured himself another drink, the bottle clinking loudly against the glass. He downed half of it in one swallow, eyes burning with golden flecks as he stared at the empty staircase where Aurelia had fled earlier. Her terrified face haunted him, wide eyes, trembling body, the way she had looked at him like he was a monster.Because he was one.Minutes later, the sound of tires crunching on gravel announced Kai’s arrival. The front door opened, and his beta st

The grand ballroom of the Brooks mansion pulsed with elegance and power. Crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, casting warm golden light over the guests in their finest attire. Soft classical music played in the background as conversations flowed like fine wine. Aurelia stood near one of the marble pillars, phone in hand, scrolling absentmindedly through messages while trying to steady her racing thoughts.“I need to use the restroom. I’ll be back soon,” Mira said, excusing herself with a quick smile before disappearing into the crowd.Aurelia nodded, barely registering the words. She slipped her phone into her clutch and focused on the stage area as the music gradually reduced. A smooth voice came over the speakers, drawing everyone’s attention.“Now, let’s welcome the host, The Brooks family!”The announcement rippled through the crowd. Aurelia’s heart picked up speed. She stood straighter, eyes fixed on the elegant staircase leading down from the upper hallway. This was t

The black van sped through the dimly lit back roads outside the city, tires humming against the asphalt. Aurelia’s head throbbed where it had been struck during the struggle. Her wrists were bound tightly behind her back with rough rope, and a strip of fabric served as a gag, muffling any attempt to scream. The metallic taste of fear coated her tongue as the vehicle jostled over uneven ground. Every bump sent fresh pain shooting through her skull, but she forced herself to stay conscious, eyes darting around the dark interior for any sign of escape.Selene sat in the front passenger seat, occasionally glancing back with a cold, satisfied smirk. The woman who had once been her mother now looked like a stranger — eyes hard, makeup slightly smudged from the chaos of the night. Two masked men flanked Aurelia in the back, their silence more threatening than words. They didn’t speak, didn’t move unnecessarily, simply watching her with detached professionalism that made the situation feel ev

The private study on the second floor of the Brooks mansion was quiet except for the soft ticking of an antique clock on the mantelpiece. Aria sat opposite her father, legs crossed elegantly in her silver gown. Marcellus Brooks leaned forward in his leather chair, elbows resting on his knees, his distinguished face etched with lines of long-buried pain. The party downstairs had ended hours ago, but the weight of the night still lingered in the air like smoke.“Ruth, I mean Selene, used to be your mother’s maid,” Marcellus began, his voice low and steady but laced with old regret. “Then your mother died after childbirth, leaving you two with me and Selene as your nanny.”Aria listened intently, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. She had always known there were secrets in her family, but hearing them spoken aloud felt like opening an old wound.“But she had this weird thing for me even before you girls were born,” Marcellus continued. “She made moves on me multiple times, but I was i

That same night, the mansion was quiet except for the low hum of activity in the sitting room. Several of Ronan’s trusted men stood ready, their expressions alert and focused. Kai’s phone buzzed sharply on the table. He picked it up immediately, reading the message that had just dropped in. His eyes widened slightly.“The location has dropped,” Kai announced, his voice cutting through the tension like a blade. “We move now.”The men straightened, already preparing to head out. One of them nodded toward the stairs. “I’ll notify Ronan upstairs.”Kai signaled in agreement. Before the man could take more than a few steps, Mira’s voice echoed from the staircase. She was coming down quickly, dressed in dark clothes, her face set with determination.“I want to go with you,” Mira said firmly as she reached the bottom.Kai turned to her, his expression softening for a moment. “We have it handled, babe. Just rest up. We will be back with Aurelia.”Mira shook her head stubbornly. “This is my bes
