CHAPTER 33

JULIAN'S POV

WHAT HAVE I DONE?

The moment the guard delivered the news, my world tilted. My Raven!

"A group of rogues were seen near the borders. A fight broke out. We can’t find Lady Raven."

The words slammed into me like a death blow. This is all my fault. It's all my fault.

Silence stretched between the guard and I for a beat before I moved. My body was a blur of motion as I stormed past the warriors gathered in the courtyard. My pulse thundered in my ears, my wolf clawing to break free.

She was out there—alone, or worse. I had to find her.

“Get every tracker we have,” I barked at my warrior, my voice sharp enough to cut steel. “Now.”

The pack stirred with unease. The weight of my fury was suffocating, even I felt it. I was like a storm ready to tear through anything in its way.

As we set to depart, I heard my name. “Julian,"

I turned to see Desmond, Raven's father. His face was pale, as if he hadn't sleep in weeks. I would have walked away, but something in his eyes ma

  • Betrayed By My Ex, Claimed By His Father   CHAPTER 72

    CHAPTER 72DON'T DIE ON ME!I wanted to scream as I stared at Lucian’s almost lifeless body in my arms.The entire left wing of the pack house had been turned into a makeshift infirmary.But I didn’t let them keep him there.Lucian lay in my room—wrapped in linen soaked in healing salves, herbs crushed under his neck to ease his breathing. He hadn’t stirred in hours. The silver burns had scalded deep, deeper than even a vampire should’ve survived.But he had. Because he was stubborn. Because he was stupid. Because he’d stepped in front of that blade without a second thought.I sat at his bedside with blood crusted on my fingers and guilt strangling my lungs.This wasn’t how it was supposed to be.We were never supposed to matter this much to each other.

    CHAPTER 71RAVEN’S POVHE’S GONE.I watched him walk away, and it felt like he was taking apart of my heart with him. Yet, I couldn't stop him.All of this is my fault. I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. It's driving me insane.I didn't mean to slap him. I acted impulsively. He's the Alpha for fucking crying out loud.I wanted to hold him back and apologize, plead with him to let me fix this, but I didn't know how to move.Until, he was gone.No goodbye. No confrontation. Just absence—sharp, like a blade pressed against my ribs.I woke up to cold sheets and silence. I knew before they even told me. Knew from the way the air felt heavier. From the way the bond didn’t hum in the back of my mind. It stretched now—barely there, like spider silk.

  • Betrayed By My Ex, Claimed By His Father   CHAPTER 70

    CHAPTER 70JULIAN’S POVI DIDN'T LOOK BACK.What do you do when the place you've grown to adore and belong to, suddenly doesn't feel welcoming anymore?Or when the person you've begun to see as home doesn't look at you the same way?Or when your mate slaps you in front of your entire pack members because of another man, and not just any man, a fucking vampire whom she clearly told you to your face that she had nothing to do with?I turned and walked away, and I didn't look back.I didn't pack much. Just a bag, my blade, and a goodbye I didn’t say. Couldn’t say.No one stopped me. They looked, though—whispers echoing behind me like I was already some ghost they buried too soon. Maybe they were right.I didn't see her. Was she tending to his wounds—the ones I inflicted

    CHAPTER 69BREATHE, RAVEN.Damn it!I really have forgotten how to breathe.I turned to the Alpha, wondering if he could hear my heart pounding. “Is what true?" I asked.His eyes sized me up, a discontent look on his face. “That you’ve been consorting with a vampire?”The accusation hung in the air like a cloud of smoke. My heart skipped a beat, but I kept my face calm. I knew the answer would be important. It would change everything.“I’ve only spoken with him,” I said, my voice steady but the guilt creeping in. “Lucian isn’t a threat.”The Alpha scoffed. “You’re trusting a vampire, Raven? We’ve all seen the destruction they’ve caused. Are you blind to it?”My throat tightened, and I looked over to Julian, expecting him to speak up, to defend me, to remind everyone of the bond we had. But he didn’t. He remained silent, his gaze unreadable. It was like the air had been sucked out of the room, leaving me exposed and alone.The Alpha continued, “If your loyalty is with him, Raven, I have

    CHAPTER 68AN ENVELOPE, BLACK WAX, my heart sank.The fire had long burned out, but the letter in Julian’s hands might as well have been an ember—still glowing, still threatening to consume what we had left.He sat on the edge of our bed, elbows on his knees, the black wax seal cracked open like a broken promise. His fingers curled around the parchment too tightly. I froze in the doorway, breath caught between fear and regret.“Julian,” I whispered.He didn’t look up.The silence between us buzzed, louder than any scream. I stepped in slowly, hands trembling at my sides. “That letter—” I started, but the lie stuck like a thorn in my throat. “It’s… not what it looks like.”He lifted his gaze, and gods, I wished he hadn’t. “Then tell me what it is,” he said calmly. Too calmly.My mouth opened, closed. “It’s from Lucian. But I didn’t invite him. I didn’t answer.”He stood. The paper fluttered to the floor like ash. “So you just… kept it?”“I didn’t know what to say,” I snapped, the pres

  • Betrayed By My Ex, Claimed By His Father   CHAPTER 67

    CHAPTER 67THE DAYS BLED TOGETHER.Julian was always gone—on the ridge, in the war room, briefing scouts, strengthening patrols. His scent lingered in our chambers but grew fainter by the hour, like a memory pulling away from the present. Our conversation, argument rather, was the last time we spoke. Trust me when I say I've never been more disoriented.But Lucian… lingered.It has gone past one night, but everyone was too busy with everything else to even acknowledge his presence. It was just me who noticed him, partly because I couldn't help it, but more because I had somehow been left out of the concerning of the pack.Lucian never pushed, never asked. He was just there—in the quiet corners of my day. A shadow at the edge of the garden. A voice behind me as I trained alone. A still figure on the overlook as the wind danced with my hair.At first, I ignored him. Told myself I had better things to do. But the truth was—I looked for him.Today, I found him in the library.I hadn’t mea
