All Chapters of His Human Mate, His Greatest Threat: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

DAMIEN Every wolf in the courtyard was kneeling, and none of them had lowered their heads towards me. I stood beside Ava, watching hundreds of supernatural beings bend their knees before the woman who had once walked into my hotel room as a human stranger, accepted payment for a night together, and walked out believing she would never see me again. Now the same woman stood beside me with her chin raised, her fingers resting against mine, while an entire territory acknowledged something none of us had expected. My wolf was restless, but it wasn't demanding submission from her. It was watching her. Ava looked at the kneeling wolves, then at me, and I felt the confusion moving through our bond. She hadn't asked for this recognition, hadn't demanded it, and certainly hadn't planned to stand before my people and discover that their instincts responded to her in a way none of us understood. “What the hell am I supposed to do now?” she whispered, keeping her eyes on the crowd. “Beca

AVAThe man with the scar was still trying to get his knife back when I drove my elbow into his throat, forcing him to stumble against the damaged barricade, but instead of finishing the fight, I caught his wrist and twisted until the weapon dropped onto the road.He laughed through his coughing, which was a particularly irritating thing to do while somebody was holding your arm behind your back.“You have no idea whose fighting style you are using, do you?” I asked, tightening my grip.His eyes moved towards me, and the little smile on his face made my stomach turn.“Perhaps you should ask your Alpha what his father's men were doing in Greyhaven before you start pretending you understand Blackthorne history.”Before I could question him, he slammed his head backwards into my face. Pain exploded across my nose, and my grip loosened just enough for him to wrench himself free. He swung at me again, but I ducked, drove my shoulder into his stomach, and sent both of us crashing against th

AVAElias was still smiling when I realized the weakness he had mentioned wasn't something he intended to explain before using it.One of the guards holding him suddenly released his arm, and Elias twisted his body with a movement so fast that the second guard barely managed to react. His fingers struck a point beneath my collarbone before I could step away, and a strange pressure exploded through my chest, spreading towards my throat and down both arms.My knees buckled.I grabbed the nearest vehicle, trying to keep myself upright, but my fingers wouldn't close properly around the metal. Something was moving beneath my skin, something that felt horribly familiar, like the sensation I experienced when Damien's wounds healed beneath my touch, except this time it was happening in reverse.Damien turned towards me.“Ava!”He crossed the distance between us, but Elias stepped between him and me, using the confusion to break free from the guards. His palm struck another point beneath my co

DAMIENCassian Veyr walked into the Council hall as though the building belonged to him, wearing a dark coat that had not collected a single speck of dust despite the fighting outside, and the bastard even had the nerve to look amused when every guard in the room reached for a weapon.I felt Ava move closer beside me, and my wolf immediately pushed against my skin, recognising the ancient bastard before my mind had finished processing his return. Cassian had been responsible for too much death, too many betrayals, and too many years of watching people I loved disappear while he continued breathing as though the world owed him another century.Elias, who had barely managed to remain standing, stared at him with something that looked dangerously close to relief.“You chose an interesting moment to return, Cassian,” I said, keeping my eyes on the man who had just entered.Cassian glanced at Elias before looking directly at me. “You have always been terrible at choosing the right people t

AVAThe blade was still inside me when Damien reached us, and the look on his face was something I had never seen before, not even during the worst fights we had survived together. His eyes had turned completely gold, his mouth had pulled back to reveal his fangs, and the growl coming from his chest was so deep that the guards closest to him stumbled backwards.Cassian released the handle and stepped away.I tried to hold my stomach, but my fingers slipped against the blood spreading beneath my clothes, and my legs suddenly felt too weak to carry me. The man who had grabbed me was thrown aside when Damien reached for me, and his claws tore through the attacker's throat before the bastard even touched the floor.Damien caught me as I collapsed.His hands were everywhere, pressing against my back, my stomach, my face, as though he could somehow keep my body together by refusing to let go. I wanted to tell him that the blade had gone too deep, that something inside me felt terribly wrong
