Betrayed By My Ex, Claimed By His Father CHAPTER 69
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

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

CHAPTER 66A VAMPIRE AMONGST WOLVES The sky was dusky violet, bleeding into shadows. Lucian stood just beyond the wards.He was unarmed, and smiling.And arrogant as ever.He wore a dark coat, tailored and sharp, the hem dusted with travel dirt. Theo stood beside him, or rather, leaned against him—weak, pale, but alive.Gasps erupted behind me. The pack parted like torn fabric.Lucian’s eyes—those strange, silvery mirrors—landed on me. “As I said,” he drawled smoothly, “I found him in cursed woods. Figured you might miss him.”“Step back,” Julian growled to the guards. “I’ll handle this.”He stalked forward, shoulders squared, dominance radiating from every inch of him. “Why are you here, bloodsucker?”“Easy,” Lucian said, lifting one hand in mock surrender. “I brought you a gift.”Julian’s jaw tightened. “You never do anything without motive.”“True,” Lucian said, glancing toward me. “But in this case, it’s simple hospitality. He was going to die. I didn’t let him.”I stepped forwar

CHAPTER 65“RAVEN?”I spun too fast, nearly dropping the letter.Julian stood at the threshold, his hair tousled from the wind, dark eyes narrowing just a little as they flicked from my startled face to my hands. “What’s that?”My breath caught. I folded the parchment in one swift motion, slipping it behind my back as casually as I could manage.“Something I was working on.” I forced a crooked smile. “A surprise. You’ll see… after we bring Theo home.”I lied! Damn! I just lied to my mate.He tilted his head, unreadable for a moment. Then a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips, softening the lines around his mouth. “You’re terrible at surprises.”“You love that about me,” I replied, walking over and brushing my fingers against his chest. He kissed my forehead, arms wrapping around my waist, pulling me in.It should’ve felt warm, and safe. Right?But it didn't. ‘Cause I'm a liar, and I have no right to feel safe.It's not too late to come clean, is it? I could just tell him the

CHAPTER 64HE CALLED ME LUNA.I tried to ignore it, tried to focus on the bigger problem at hand, but there was a growing lump in my throat that even I didn't understand. I don't understand why I'm so scared of this title. Will I ever understand it?Julian had risen to his feet. “What's wrong?" He asked."A scout failed to return from the western ridge,” the scout responded, panting.My brows tensed.The western ridge—once a neutral zone, now tense after Myra’s lies fractured nearby alliances. Julian turned to me. “Raven, I have to meet up with a few warriors. I'll join you soon.”I shook my head. "No! I'll join you." He didn't argue, and minutes later, we were in the war room listening to the scouts relay the information they had.I stood silently, facing the map, lines blurring together in my mind.“I’ll lead the retrieval party,” I said suddenly.Julian started to protest. I stopped him with a look. “Let me do this. They need to know I can.”He didn’t argue again.We didn't wast

CHAPTER 63THE MORNING SUN poured gold across the training yard, painting the dirt and stone in warmth that belied the crisp bite of autumn. I had wandered out for some air, to escape the weight of whispers and council reports—but the moment I saw the pups tumbling over each other in a mock sparring match, I paused.They reminded me of us, long ago—before shadows.“Want to try?” the pup instructor, a silver-haired she-wolf named Mere, asked me with a grin. “They’ve been wild today.”I blinked, surprised. “Only if I’m allowed to embarrass myself.”Mere laughed. “That’s part of the charm.”Minutes later, I stood in the circle with six eager eyes on me, each pup practically vibrating with energy. I dropped into a low stance and waved one forward. “Come on, little warrior. Show me what you’ve got.”He charged. Sloppy, overexcited. I let him try to wrap his arm around my neck before slipping out and showing him gently how to counter.“Always remember,” I said, demonstrating. “It’s not abou

CHAPTER 62MOON FESTIVAL, HERE I COME.I was brushing down my training gear, thinking of nothing and everything at once, when the knock came.I opened it slowly, and there he was—Father—standing tall and quiet in the hallway, arms full with a long, covered bundle wrapped in deep velvet.His eyes crinkled at the corners, like he was trying to smile but didn’t quite know how.“I thought you might need help getting ready,” he said.I blinked at him, stunned for a breath. “Help?”He lifted the bundle slightly, revealing just a hint of shimmering moon-silver fabric beneath the velvet. “This… belonged to the Luna before you, and the Luna before her.”My chest clenched.He stepped inside as I backed up to let him through, my throat tight.I reached out, fingers trembling slightly as I brushed the velvet away. The dress was breathtaking—flowing moon-white silk laced with faint silver embroidery that shimmered only when it caught the light just right. A carved moonstone sat at the collar, a si

CHAPTER 61HE HOSTED THE ENTIRE PACK.Later that day, the pack gathered for a family dinner at Father’s modest estate. The atmosphere was warm and casual—the kind of setting that reminded me that even in loss, love could persevere. The dining hall was rich with laughter, soft chatter, and the clinking of cups filled with spiced water. Father sat at the head of the long table, his eyes twinkling with memories as he looked around at the assembled pack members.Over dinner, stories flowed freely. Father recalled when I was a small pup, chasing my own tail and laughing as the wind carried my excited barks into the crisp evening air. He told a tale of a mischievous child who once tried to sneak away during a storm—and was found huddled in the barn, shivering but full of defiant spirit. I blushed at the recollection, a mixture of embarrassment and deep, abiding love warming me from within.“You were born of fire, Raven,” Father said softly during a lull in the conversation, his voice filled
