HANNAH’S POV

As soon as Coby disappeared down the path, I let out a breath that felt like it had been trapped for hours. My hands trembled, refusing to steady no matter how tightly I crossed my arms.

Anger, fear, and frustration coiled in my stomach, each emotion jostling for dominance. It was always like this with him—chaotic, overwhelming, suffocating.

“Hannah,” Kas’s voice cut through the storm in my head, anchoring me.

I turned, relieved and ashamed in equal measure to meet his concerned gaze. His expression, sharp and ready just moments ago, softened as he stepped closer.

His presence was steadying, but the way he looked at me—like I might shatter—made my throat tighten.

“Are you okay?” he asked, his voice low and gentle yet edged with restrained tension.

I nodded too quickly. “I’m fine,” I said, though the waver in my voice betrayed me. “Thank you for stepping in.”

Kas didn’t look convinced. His eyes searched mine, his jaw working as if he were holding back words. “He grabbed yo

Hannah, your refusal to inform Xavier about Coby coming to his home to harass you is baseless and downright stupid. Big mistake on your part

    HANNAH’S POVI gripped the phone tightly, forcing my voice to steady as I answered, “Hello?” I tried for casual, but even to my ears, the attempt sounded thin.“Hannah.” Xavier’s voice came through warm, though tinged with concern. “Hey. Is everything okay? You sound… off.”A familiar pang echoed in my chest. Xavier always saw through me, even over the phone. My free hand clutched the soft edge of Jackson’s blanket, grounding me.I pressed out a hollow laugh, trying to shake the unease from my tone. “I’m fine,” I said too quickly. “It’s just been a long day. Nothing unusual. How’s the meeting?”A pause. Brief but heavy. I could imagine him rubbing the back of his neck, the way he did when deciding how much to say. “It’s dragging,” he admitted, his sigh audible. “And it’s about to get worse. The board extended it—two more days.”“Two more days?” The words slipped out soft, nearly a whisper. My chest tightened, disappointment coiling low in my stomach.“I know.” His voice dropped, raw w

    VIVIAN’S POVThe moment I left the house that afternoon, my nerves buzzed with unease. Elder Elijah’s voice on the phone had been sharp, clipped—urgent in a way that knotted my stomach. I hadn’t called Eva. She hadn’t picked up the previous day, nor had she bothered to call me back, and I didn’t want her involved in whatever this was.I told myself it was fine. I could handle it. Right?The path to his house stretched wide and empty as I walked, the occasional rustle of leaves brushing against the eerie silence. Elijah’s estate loomed ahead, its grandeur almost oppressive, like a giant beast lurking in the amber glow of the setting sun.When the front door creaked open, a servant I didn’t recognize greeted me. Her face was drawn tight, her lips pressed into a disapproving line that made my palms sweat.For a second, I thought it might be Beatrice, Elijah’s suspicious and ever-watchful wife. But it wasn’t her. Just a servant, all business and no warmth.“Elijah is expecting you,” she s

    Vivian's POVReluctantly, I stepped between Elijah and Eva. "That's my girl," Eva squealed in excitement, hugging me close. Elijah turned me back to face him and claimed my lips in a deep, passionate kiss.His tongue slipped into my mouth, and I sucked on it while Eva's hand slipped into my blouse and began to pinch my already hard nipple.Waves of tingling sensation shot up my body like a spark of electricity, and I moaned into his mouth as he deepened the kiss.I broke off our kiss and slipped Elder Elijah's cock into my mouth, sucking on the tip while Eva ran her tongue up and down his shaft. After half a minute of this, we switched, with Eva taking his cock in her mouth while I wet his shaft with my tongue."Yeah, just like that," Elder Elijah said, watching intently. From his expression, I could tell he'd never been with two girls at the same time before, and so far, it was immensely satisfying.I dropped my head down a bit and pushed towards him, allowing me to take his balls in

    Vivian's POVElder Elijah did what he could, rising up a bit to give himself more leverage. Then, using that leverage, he hammered his cock as far into Eva's pussy as it would go. He slammed his hips up against her ass, making it jiggle with every pump."Yeah, baby, yeah!" Eva cried, turning her head to look back at him. "Just like that! Just like that! Keep fucking me! You're going to make me cum! You're going to make me fucking cum!"Even though he was running out of steam and desperately needed a break, Elder Elijah continued fucking Eva with reckless abandon. He gave her what she wanted, knowing that the harder he fucked her, the sooner she would cum, and the sooner she cummed, the sooner he could catch his breath.With this in mind, Elder Elijah reached out and grabbed a handful of Eva's hair, yanking it back to force her to arch her back to relieve the pressure.Eva let out a yelp of pleasure, and Elder Elijah knew he had her. She loved getting her hair pulled; it always put her

    VIVIAN’S POVSmiling, I nodded, though the expression felt as forced as a broken clock ticking on time. Eva didn’t seem to notice—or maybe she did and chose to ignore it.She pulled me into another hug, her arms warm and reassuring, but I couldn’t summon the strength to reciprocate. Her embrace felt like a lifeline thrown to someone too tired to swim. My chest tightened further.When we finally pulled apart, I bent to gather my clothes from the floor. My hands trembled as I struggled to button my blouse, the small task inexplicably monumental.The fabric seemed determined to evade my fingers, only worsening my frustration. My breath hitched, each inhalation shallow, the walls seeming to close in with every passing second.Across the room, Eva hummed to herself, twisting her red hair into a lazy braid. The soft melody might have been soothing in another life, but right now, it grated against the whirlwind of thoughts tearing through my head.What would Coby say if he saw me today? He’d

I had been watching Elder Elijah’s house for what felt like an eternity—over an hour and a half—and my patience was starting to wear thin.The doubt creeping into my mind grew louder with every passing minute. What if I was at the wrong place?The only reason I hadn’t left yet was that I had seen Vivian go inside earlier. I had trailed her there, sure that something was off. But the silence and stillness around the house were eating at me. Was I wasting my time?Just as I was about to give up and leave, the front door creaked open, and I froze. My instincts kicked in, my body tense and ready. Vivian stepped out first, and my breath hitched.She wasn’t alone—Eva followed close behind, and the two of them were laughing loudly, almost obnoxiously. Something about their body language made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.Their laughter wasn’t just carefree

    ANDREW’S POVHe stopped, his eyes glaring at me, with both fists clenched at his sides. “I’m going to do what I should’ve done a long time ago,” he growled.A chill ran down my spine. “Coby, listen to me,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “This could’ve been a misunderstanding. We didn’t have solid proof—just speculation.”He shook his head, his expression dark. “No. This wasn’t speculation. I’ve had a gut feeling about Vivian for weeks. Something’s been off. And now, I know why.”“Feelings aren’t facts,” I argued, stepping closer. “We needed evidence. If we jumped to conclusions and were wrong, it could’ve destroyed everything.”Coby’s lips twisted into a bitter smirk, but his eyes—dark and stormy—betrayed something deeper, something raw. He stepped forward, his voice sharp as a razor. “You’re serious? Now, of all times, you want to second-guess me?”His tone sliced through the tension, leaving a sting in its wake. “After everything?

    LILY’S POVI stood outside Andrew’s door, feeling the familiar flutter in my chest that always came with the thought of seeing him. It was ridiculous, really, how much of an effect he had on me, even after everything we’d been through together.I smoothed down my hair and adjusted my smile. I didn’t want to look as nervous as I felt. He had been so busy lately that we barely saw each other, only exchanging quick texts during the day and before bed.Whatever was going on with him, I told myself I’d figure it out. I always did. When he opened the door, the look on his face caught me off guard.His eyes were stormy—filled with worry, anger, and something else I couldn’t quite place. But as soon as he saw me standing there, his expression shifted.His beautiful lips curved into that lopsided smile I adored, and I could almost see the tension melting from his shoulders.“Hey, handsome,” I said softly, stepping closer to him.Before I could say another word, he pulled me into one of his bon

    XAVIER’S POV The next morning, I sat with Hannah and Jackson in the living room. Jackson’s laughter rang out, bright and carefree, but it felt distant, as though I were hearing it through water. My mind kept circling back to Elijah—the fire, the chaos, the way he’d vanished like smoke. I wanted to believe he was gone, but something in my gut twisted, whispering that he wasn’t done. Not yet. Knowing Elijah, he was probably somewhere buying time, waiting to strike again when we least expected. “Daddy, look!” Jackson’s voice broke through my thoughts. He held up a crooked drawing of what looked like a wolf—or maybe a dog. His little hands were smudged with crayon, his face beaming with pride. I forced a smile, ruffling his hair. “That’s amazing, buddy. Is that me?” He nodded vigorously. “Yeah! And that’s Mommy, and that’s me!” He pointed to three stick figures standing beside the wolf. My chest tightened. He had no idea how fragile this peace was, how close we were to losing it

    XAVIER’S POV The night clung to us like a suffocating shroud as we crept toward Elijah’s house. The forest was alive with the restless whispers of the wind. My men moved like wraiths behind me, their presence a steady, silent hum of loyalty. Kas was at my side, his sharp eyes darting across the dark corners, his jaw clenched so tightly I could see the muscle twitching. My mind was a blade, honed to a razor’s edge. No hesitation. No mercy. Not after what Elijah had done. “Search the house,” I ordered, my voice low but slicing through the stillness. “Bring him in—dead or alive.” The words hung heavy, a storm brewing in the air. My men nodded, their movements precise as they fanned out. But as we neared the front door, my Lycan senses prickled. The familiar scent of pine and damp earth was tainted—sharp, acrid. Gasoline. My nostrils flared, and a growl rumbled deep in my chest, raw and guttural. “Stay back!” I barked, throwing my arm out to halt them. My heart hammered against

  • My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection   049: Stages Of Grief

    ELIJAH’S POV The hospital’s sterile air clung to my skin as I left Hannah behind, her words echoing in my mind like a death knell. Xavier wasn’t a man who forgave, and his wrath would be a storm I couldn’t outrun. But I couldn’t think about that now. Andrew was the priority. Finish him, then vanish before Xavier’s claws could find me. I hurried home, my heart pounding like a war drum. The streets blurred as I drove, my knuckles white on the steering wheel. Beatrice. She didn’t know how close we were to the edge. She didn’t know how much danger we were in. As I neared my home, my lycan stirred uneasily, a low growl rumbling in my chest. Something felt... off. The ache in my chest wasn’t just fear—it was something deeper, something close to dread. When I pulled up to the house, the silence hit me like never before. There were no guards. No servants. Just an eerie stillness that made my skin crawl. My lycan’s growl turned into a whine, a sound I hadn’t heard in years. “Beatrice

    ANDREW’S POV The room erupted into a frenzy of motion as the doctors rushed in, their faces a mix of shock and forced calm. My chest heaved, and my hands trembled at my sides, slick with sweat. The echo of my own voice still rang in my ears—raw, desperate, pleading for help. My eyes stayed locked on Lily, her fragile form almost swallowed by the sterile white sheets. But she was alive. Awake. Her eyelids fluttered, and the sight hit me like a sucker punch. Relief and guilt crashed together in a storm I couldn’t begin to sort out. The doctors moved around her with practiced precision, their murmurs a low, clinical hum. I stood frozen, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it might burst. Every second stretched into an eternity, every beep of the monitor a cruel reminder of how close I’d come to losing her. Finally, one of the doctors—a woman with kind eyes and a no-nonsense air—turned to me. Her smile was small but real, and it felt like the first crack of sunlight after a lon

    ANDREW’S POV The cold, damp air of the dungeon clung to me like a second skin as I burst into the open. My chest heaved, not just from running, but from the raw, unrelenting fury burning in my veins. Beatrice was gone—her lifeless body left behind in that cursed cell—but Elijah… Elijah was still out there. And he would pay. I shifted into my wolf form, my paws pounding against the earth as I raced toward the main house. The guards and servants scattered like leaves in the wind, their shouts fading into the background. They weren’t my concern. My focus was singular, unyielding: find Elijah. Make him suffer. Make him regret digging his claws into what was mine. But as I tore through the forest, my wolf’s instincts sharp and unerring, I collided with a force that stopped me dead in my tracks. Alpha Xavier and his men stood before me, their presence commanding and unshakable. Xavier’s piercing gaze locked onto mine, and I shifted back into my human form, my body trembling with a mix

    ANDREW’S POV The heavy dungeon door creaked open, and Beatrice stepped inside, her boots echoing against the cold stone floor. She carried a plate of food, her grip tight, knuckles whitening. Her eyes flicked to me, and for a split second, I saw it—hesitation, a flicker of doubt. But it was gone as quickly as it came, replaced by a hard, angry glare. She was trying to convince herself as much as me. My heart hammered in my chest, but I kept my face calm. This was my chance—my only chance to break free. “Beatrice,” I said, my voice low but steady. “You don’t have to do this. Let me go. I’ll make sure Xavier knows you were just following orders. You don’t have to go down with Elijah. He’s just using you.” She stopped short, her lips curling into a sneer. “Save your breath, Andrew,” she spat, her voice sharp but with a tiny crack in it—a fracture. “You’re going to die soon anyway. Why don’t you just shut up?” She dropped the plate in front of me. The bowl clattered, soup slos

    HANNAH’S POV Elijah’s footsteps faded down the hallway, and I finally let out the breath I’d been holding. My chest felt tight, my heart hammering so hard I thought it might burst. I turned to Lily, my hands trembling as I reached for her. Her face was pale, her chest rising and falling in shallow, mechanical breaths. I leaned closer, my fingers brushing her wrist to check for a pulse. It was there—faint but steady. Relief washed over me, but it was short-lived. The image of Elijah hovering over her, his cold gaze lingering, sent a chill through me. He hadn’t come to check on her. He’d come to finish what he had already started. “Lily,” I whispered, my voice breaking. I took her hand, squeezing it gently as if I could will some of my strength into her. “Please, wake up. You have to fight. We need you.” My throat tightened, and I swallowed hard, blinking back tears. “You’re not alone, okay? I’m here. Xavier’s here. We won’t let him hurt you again.” Her hand twitched—just the sl

    ELIJAH’S POV The heavy dungeon door groaned as it swung shut behind me, its iron hinges screaming in protest. My boots scraped against the uneven floor, each step a deliberate act of defiance as Andrew’s muffled groans faded into the oppressive darkness. My chest tightened, a volatile mix of anger and satisfaction coiling deep within me. He deserved this. Every agonizing second of it. Beatrice caught up with me, her face a mask of worry. “We need to kill him before Xavier returns and finds out. If we’re caught, it’ll be over for both of us.” I glanced at her, slightly irritated. “Not yet, Beatrice. I want him to suffer more before I end him. He stays alive for now, and that’s final.” She sighed, shaking her head. “You’re making a mistake. Keeping Andrew alive is too dangerous, especially with Xavier sniffing around. It’s not about Andrew himself—it’s about what happens if Xavier returns with more guards to search for him.” I considered her words for a moment, the scenario

    ANDREW’S POV The cold was the first thing I felt—sharp, biting, like teeth sinking into my skin. It wasn’t just the chill of the dungeon; it was alive, slithering through the air, wrapping around me until I could barely breathe. My head throbbed, each pulse a cruel reminder of the blow that had knocked me out. My body ached, every muscle screaming as I shifted slightly. Then came the sound—a sharp, metallic clink. Chains. My wrists were shackled, the cuffs digging into my flesh, and my ankles were anchored to the floor with heavy iron. I was trapped. I blinked, my vision swimming as it adjusted to the dim, flickering light. The walls were slick with moisture, the stones jagged and uneven, as if they’d been carved to inflict suffering. The air reeked of mildew and decay, a nauseating stench that clawed at my throat. This wasn’t just a cell; it was a tomb, a place designed to crush hope. And then I saw him. Elijah stood a few feet away, his silhouette sharp against the gloom.
