Third Person's POV

After screaming her lungs out, Seraphina didn't grant Mortimer another look.

She took a deep breath, lowering her head again to force herself to calmly scroll through the missing pet updates on Twitter.

Right then, in a quiet corner of the dark street, a tiny, incredibly faint whimper echoed.

Seraphina's fingers completely froze over her phone screen.

She whipped her head up, her ears twitching as she tracked the incredibly quiet sound.

But looking around, there was nothing b

  • Ex-Mate Wants Me Back   Chapter 178

    Third Person's POV"That avalanche was just a freak accident. It was my own bad luck to run into it. You don't need to take the blame for it."At this point, the look in her eyes grew even firmer."Mortimer, we are only mates in name."Hearing Seraphina emphasize the boundaries of their relationship yet again, the sheer panic and helplessness in Mortimer's heart only intensified.He looked at her, his eyes entirely bloodshot, his lips trembling slightly. "We don't have to be just mates in name.""Sera, let's start over. Okay?" As he spoke, the desperate pleading in his eyes practically spilled over.The old Seraphina probably wouldn't have dared to dream that one day, the high-and-mighty Alpha would speak to her with such a lowly, begging tone and gaze.But the current Seraphina just shook her head. "Let's just leave it at this.""No!"Mortimer stood up frantically from his chair. He stared down at her, a layer of moisture rising in his red-rimmed eyes. "How can we just leave it at th

    Third Person's POVSeraphina didn't utter a single word of blame. She simply thanked him with absolute calm. "Thank you."She gave him a polite nod, picked up the spoon, and took small, slow sips of the soup.As the warm liquid slid down her throat, her pale complexion finally regained a bit of color."I'm sorry," Mortimer spoke, his voice completely hoarse.Seraphina paused her movements, looked up at him, and smiled gently. "It's fine. It was my own choice to go skiing."She had thought she could overcome that psychological barrier, not realizing she had severely overestimated herself.Mortimer looked at her, his eyes growing red all over again. "I'm the one who did this to you."His eyes were entirely filled with wretchedness, self-blame, and the massive, suffocating panic of a predator on the verge of losing its mate.The calmer Seraphina was—not complaining, not scolding, not even showing a hint of anger toward him—the heavier Mortimer's anxiety became.Seraphina, however, just s

    Third Person's POV"Grandpa, please don't say that. This has nothing to do with you," Seraphina replied quickly."Mortimer has been the destined Alpha since he was a child. He never gave us a single moment of worry," Edwin said, his voice heavy with regret. "We never imagined that when it came to Vivian, he would completely lose his sense of proportion and make you suffer so much."Seraphina shook her head repeatedly. "Grandpa, it really doesn't matter. Please don't feel sorry. Actually..."She hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to confess, "Actually, Mortimer and I are only mates in name."She needed to tell Edwin the truth.She knew the old Alpha treated her incredibly well, shielding her with the unconditional tolerance of a true elder.Since she had already made up her mind to sever the mate contract with Mortimer, she needed to let the old man mentally prepare himself."Mates in name?" Edwin looked absolutely stunned. "What does that mean? You two were witnessed by th

    Third Person's POV"Mortimer, during that half-month you were out traveling with Vivian, Sera almost died out there. If you had paid even a fraction of attention to her, if you had just checked her status through the mating bond, or even bothered to glance at the news from Alaska, you would have known exactly what she went through.""But all your attention was entirely consumed by your precious Vivi! You didn't know that the avalanche left her with severe PTSD. You didn't know she was waking up in cold sweats from nightmares every single night. You had no idea she's been seeing a therapist and swallowing anti-anxiety meds just to suppress her traumatized, terrified wolf!""Now that she has Dash, she finally started to heal just a little bit. And what do you do? You drag her right back into hell! Mortimer, come on!"Trista's anger violently surged again, her jaw locked tight as she spat the curses through gritted teeth.Mortimer's face was terrifyingly pale.Avalanche... PTSD... almost

    Third Person's POV"It's hard to say. Usually, it's caused by seeing something that terrifies them, or triggering severe traumatic memories. To know the exact cause, we'll have to wait until Luna Seraphina wakes up and ask her directly."Mortimer nodded, not asking further."Can I go in and see her now?""Of course. Once she is transferred to a regular ward, you can stay with her."Mortimer nodded again, but his brows locked even tighter.The worry in his heart didn't dissipate; instead, it grew exponentially heavier."A stress response? Something that terrifies her..." he muttered softly, pondering the doctor's words.Just then, a commotion echoed from the corridor."Honey, calm down! Don't be impulsive!" Wilmot's anxious voice rang out from around the corner.Immediately after, Trista's figure stormed into Mortimer's line of sight.Spotting him instantly, she marched over furiously."Mortimer, you bastard! Haven't you made Sera miserable enough?!""You knew damn well she almost died

    Third Person's POVLong before Mortimer had actually agreed to go to Alaska with her, Seraphina had secretly practiced skiing countless times in private.She had desperately wanted to make sure she wouldn't hold him back when they finally hit the slopes together.Hearing her confident answer, Mortimer's expression froze for a fraction of a second. "You know how to ski?"Seraphina gave a short, affirmative "Mhm," and immediately grabbed her snowboard, walking straight toward the lifts without looking back.Mortimer stood behind her, his chest completely overflowing with frustration.Sometimes, having an incredibly capable wife wasn't a good thing—he didn't even get the chance to show off or act like a protective Alpha.He sighed heavily and followed her up the slope. "Then let's ski together."Seraphina didn't refuse.She pulled her goggles down over her eyes and took a deep breath. Behind the tinted lenses, that suffocating sense of dread seemed to lessen just a fraction.After comple
