Lillian’s POV

The next morning started with what had become a familiar battle, me trying to get Celeste to take her bath while she did everything in her power to avoid it.

“Come on, bunny, just ten minutes in the tub and then you can play all you want,” I pleaded, following her around her room as she darted away from me with a mischievous grin.

“But I want to play now, Mommy!” she whined, clutching her favorite stuffed bear like it would protect her from the horrors of soap and water.

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 169

    Lillian’s POV“Exclusive? This does not feel exclusive at all. It feels like a public dinner in a busy park,” I said very quietly to myself. I looked around the giant, noisy ballroom. My eyes were wide with shock. I could not believe what I was seeing.When Dorian first told me about this dinner party, I thought it would be a small, quiet meeting. I thought there would only be about thirty important guests from the highest families. I expected nice music, soft lights, and plenty of space to breathe. Instead, the grand hall was completely full of people. There were hundreds of shouting men and women. I saw greedy business investors, loud socialites, and very pushy reporters who were holding up small microphones.It was very easy to see what had happened. The people who made this party had lied. They told everyone the dinner was highly exclusive just to trick rich and powerful leaders like Dorian into coming here. They wanted all these big names in one single, crowded room so they could

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 168

    Dorian’s POVI stopped moving completely. My hands stayed on her soft shoulders. A sudden wave of surprise hit me hard. The Viremoor necklace was a very big secret. Only the Alphas of the most powerful families in the north knew its real name. Normal people did not even know it existed. They definitely did not know its history. So, how did Lillian know about it?"How do you know that name, Lillian?" I asked her. I made my voice very quiet and low. "Where did you hear about the Viremoor?"Lillian turned around slowly to face me. Her small fingers were still touching the beautiful blue stone on her chest."For a very long time, I thought this was just a fake story," she said. She looked up at me with big, honest eyes. "When I was younger, I loved to read. I found some very old books in the libraries near the border. The books told a story about a great war. Many years ago, several strong families from a big pack fought each other. They did terrible things just to get this necklace. They

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 167

    Dorian’s POVI gasped, my chest heaving violently as I sat upright in the bed, my hand instantly flying to my collarbone. My heart was pounding like a war drum against my ribs, and cold sweat was dripping down my temples.I blinked rapidly, looking around the bright, sunlit master bedroom. The air wasn't ice-cold, the room was completely quiet, and there was no masked killer standing over me.It was a dream. An incredibly realistic, upsetting dream that I hadn't had in years. The memory of the silver blade sinking into my flesh felt so vivid it made my skin crawl, but it was nothing more than a trick of my exhausted mind. I let out a long, shaky breath and looked over toward the large bay window. The morning sun was already high in the sky, casting a warm, golden glow across the carpet. Lillian was already fully dressed, standing in front of the vanity mirror as she brushed out her hair.She caught my eye in the glass and spun around, a bright, playful smirk on her face. "Well, look

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 166

    Dorian’s POVThe suffocating silence returned to the study, thicker and more oppressive than before. Aiden stood perfectly still in the center of the room, the color slowly draining from his face as the sheer weight of my words sank in. For a long, agonizing moment, he went completely silent. His eyes stared blankly at the polished hardwood floor, tracing the grain as if searching for a reality where what I had just suggested wasn't true."I had a bad feeling about this, Alpha," Aiden finally whispered. His voice, usually steady and commanding, trembled slightly. He looked up at me, attempting to force a weak, unbelieving smile onto his face. "But... I really didn't want to believe it. It doesn't make sense. Why would they strike now, of all times? It has been a very long time. Years. I thought they had completely forgotten about me. I convinced myself that I was just a ghost from their past, and that they had finally moved on to other targets.""Aiden, stop," I said, my voice cutting

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 165

    Dorian’s POVThe silence in the room stretched on, the ticking of the wall clock sounding like a countdown in my ears. As I looked down at Lillian’s pleading eyes and felt the nervous tremble in her hands, the fierce, defensive wall inside my mind finally began to crack.I knew she was right. The ceremony I had frantically agreed with Aiden to hold was simply too sudden, too messy, and entirely fueled by blind panic. But Lillian didn't understand the sheer terror driving my actions. I knew with absolute certainty that someone was out there in the dark, hunting us. Someone was actively trying to stop my happiness, trying to tear down the life I was building. I had truly thought that pushing the mating ceremony forward would give us a shield. I thought it would make me make us happier, stronger, and more hopeful against the invisible storm.But looking at her stressed, pale face, I realized I was only making her suffer.I let out a long, heavy breath, the rigid tension slowly leaving my

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 164

    Lillian’s POVThe bright morning sun was already filtering heavily through the sheer curtains when I finally opened my eyes. I blinked against the light, my chest tightening the moment I checked the clock on the nightstand. I had woken up a little too late. The heavy exhaustion from the previous night had kept me pinned to the mattress, and now, reality was crashing down on me all at once.Sitting up in the quiet room, I started completely freaking out. Panic clawed at my throat as I realized I had blindly agreed to a totally impulsive decision. What on earth was I thinking? A mating ceremony wasn't just any regular event. In the werewolf world, it was a sacred, monumental milestone. It was supposed to be grand, beautifully prepared, and at least properly planned out over months, not frantically rushed into in the middle of a security crisis.I threw on a simple robe and practically ran out of the bedroom. I spent the whole morning rushing through the corridors, looking everywhere for

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 11

    Lillian’s POVI woke up to sunlight streaming through the curtains, my mind immediately replaying Dorian’s words from last night about executing phase two of our plan to take down Aaron. The thought sent a thrill of anticipation through me as I stretched and got out of bed, ready to face whatever

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 9

    Dorian’s POV.“Still no sight of her?” I asked Oren, a young healer who had offered to find Lillian for me. Oren shook his head negatively and left my side to socialize with other people in the hall. She’d promised to come right back after checking on Celeste. I knew she’d taken that as avenue to

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 7

    Lillian’s POV.“This was your little plan, wasn’t it?” I almost leaped at the feminine voice behind me. I whirled back with irritation to see Shantel glaring daggers at me. I didn’t hesitate to correct my posture, leaning carelessly over the railings on the balcony as cool steel bit into my skin.

  • Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin   Chapter 6

    Lillian’s POV.“Alpha Dorian Valehart?” Shantel’s voice softened, staring at Dorian dreamily as he jerked her arm off.Dorian left Shantel’s side and came to mine, his heady scent encompassing me. Immediately, I felt safe in his presence. Five years ago, after Dorian saved me from the bandits, I’d
