Betrayed By My Ex, Claimed By His Father CHAPTER 55
CHAPTER 55HARSH REALITY.The war chamber had grown colder since Harin’s death. A heaviness lingered, pressing against the walls like a silent accusation. We’d taken a break to breathe, to think. But time wasn’t our ally.Now, another name sat before us.Luca.He slouched in the chair like he owned the place, arms draped lazily over the sides, one leg propped over the other. The same man who had once begged for forgiveness now looked like he couldn’t care less.Julian stood beside me, stone-faced, eyes trained on him like a predator. I stayed seated, arms crossed, forcing my expression to stay neutral even as my stomach twisted.“You know why you’re here,” Julian said coldly.“Enlighten me, Alpha,” Luca replied with a smirk, voice dripping with mockery. “Am I being blamed for another ritual I didn’t attend?”Julian’s jaw ticked. “You were close to Elena. Too close not to know something.”Luca rolled his eyes. “I fucked her, yes! But I had no business with her and her dark magic.”I na

CHAPTER 56I WASTED NO MORE TIME.The door to the restricted archives groaned open like an old throat clearing its secrets. Cold air greeted me—tinged with parchment, candle wax, and something older, which I couldn't quite name.I stepped inside, keeping my expression neutral.Elder Myra sat at her usual spot, fingers tracing a line across a crumbling scroll, lips moving faintly like she was reciting something to herself. She didn’t look up.I waited.Seconds passed in silence.“You should knock,” she said finally, not bothering to look at me. “Even ghosts have manners.”“I didn’t want to startle you,” I said evenly.“Everything startles me nowadays.” She rolled the scroll up with sharp precision. “Children appearing in sacred spaces… the dead walking among us… destiny taking ill-advised turns.”My eyes furrowed in confusion. What was she saying?Her eyes flicked up. Pale, unreadable. “To what do I owe the honor, Alpha's mate?”I stepped closer. “I came to learn. About the marks. The

CHAPTER 57THE BETRAYAL STABBED DEEP.Outside, I let the cold air burn my lungs. Myra’s words echoed like poison in my head. She had known my mother. Knew what happened to her. Knew how to break fate itself.I didn’t know who to trust anymore. But I knew one thing for certain:They wanted me to doubt myself. They wanted me to sever the bond. And if I gave in… I’d be doing their work for them.I couldn't let that happen.The scent of sweat and steel lingered in the night air, far too thick for this time of evening. I stood on the upper balcony of the war wing, staring down at the dim courtyard below—where movement flickered like shadows trying to stay hidden.Figures danced across the dirt floor, clashing blades in silence. No torches, no sanctioned drills. Just cloaked silhouettes sparring in a ring of secrecy.I squinted… and my stomach turned.Luca.Even at a distance, I could feel his presence. The way he moved—arrogant, sure, like the world owed him something and he was here to co

CHAPTER 58LUCA!The night was thick with quiet, the kind that felt louder than any scream. The kind that pressed against your skin, urging you to break it. I stood outside Julian’s door with the scroll in my hand, fingers trembling—not from fear, but from the weight of what I now knew.Myra.Luca.The severing spell.The ink.The lies.All of it spiraled in my head like storm clouds ready to break.I didn’t knock—I pushed the door open. Julian was at his desk, half-buried in maps and reports. He looked up, and for a moment, I saw the surprise flicker in his eyes. Then something softer—the familiar gaze I knew.“Raven,” he said carefully, “I—”“I saw them,” I cut in. “Myra. And Luca. In the woods. Together.”His brows snapped down. “What?”“I followed her. She met with him—late at night. He handed her something. I couldn’t see what. But I found this.” I laid the scroll out on his desk, careful not to touch the runes. “Same protective ink Harin had. Same mark. It was in her private cha

CHAPTER 59PURIFIED, SANTIFIED, CLEANSED—I needed to be all of these things.This was the only way I could regain myself, I needed to do it for the pack too.The cleansing fire crackled at the heart of the ceremonial ring, casting golden sparks into the air. The entire pack stood around it—shoulders brushing, hands clasped, eyes trained on me. Some still looked hesitant. But most… most looked hopeful.The sigils that had once marred our land, woven into corners of halls, etched in stone behind our gates—all had been marked for purging. Myra’s shadows were being burned from the roots up. But the bond she had tried to fracture needed something more. Something sacred.Callen—the pack's sorceror—stood before me now, tall and radiant, his silver robes whispering against the ground. The moonstone staff in his hand pulsed gently, humming with ancient magic."Raven," he said softly, "will you receive the light willingly?"I nodded, throat tight. “I will.”He reached forward, dipping his finge

CHAPTER 60MORE PEACE.The next afternoon brought more laughter—this time in the training yard.Julian clapped his hands once, loud enough to draw attention. “Alright, who’s ready to watch your future Luna wipe the floor with me?”The warriors hooted.I groaned. “You’re impossible.”The scent of churned earth and worn leather filled the air as I stepped into the training yard. The sun was high, glinting off steel practice blades and the slick shoulders of sparring wolves. Laughter drifted across the space like music—young warriors teasing one another, elders watching with fond amusement. The energy wasn't tense, it was peaceful.Julian was already waiting for me at the center ring, barefoot, arms folded, his grin entirely too smug.“Ready to be humbled, future Luna?” he called out, his golden eyes glinting like a dare.I rolled my eyes, suppressing a smile. “You talk like you’ve ever beat me before.”Chuckles rose from the watching pack. Someone from the side called, “Get him, Raven!”

FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT!It's a phrase I have always lived by. And yes, as you've probably guessed it's not really a good thing.I used to be this happy, bubbly child that everyone loved and adored. Brilliant, bold and beautiful, I was all of them, and this was proudly sponsored by Mother.Until she died!Father was thrown into grieving. I was just ten, they told me she had gone to join the other good people in the sky, and she was always watching over me, but I knew. They seemed to have forgotten that little Raven was not so little anymore, and she knew things that were above her age.I wish I didn't.I wish I was able to believe them. I wish I didn't know that my precious mother was dead, and no, she was not watching over me, instead she was decaying six feet underneath the ground. I still maintained the qualities that endeared everyone to me, except one.I wasn't so happy anymore. Since everyone had expected me to be swept away by their lies, I had to act like I was. So I faked

THE ENTIRE ROOM WAS REELING, like I had hopped unto a very fast merry-go-round without knowing.And everything just kept spinning and spinning.His words rang in my head, like a loop. An unwanted loop. “Join us, Raven, or leave."I know. What the fuck?I was taken aback, the pain in my chest slicing my heart into a million pieces, and slicing those pieces into many more pieces.How could Luca do this me?“Luca, how could you do this to me?" I sniffed.He vividly rolled his eyes, his expression far from pleasant. “Oh come on, Raven. Please, stop being so dramatic. Join the fun, or you better not ruin it."Elena—that bitch—held his hand immediately, her facial features a stark complex from Luca's. "Alpha, don't talk to her like that. She's gonna cry.”‘Is this lady mocking you right now?’ Nia snarled, her anger rising intensively.While she was angry, I was so fucking hurt!“Elena…” I trailed off, swallowing the words in my chest.My best friend!"Raven, I promise you. I didn't mean to

CHAPTER 54HE DIDN'T DENY IT.I, personally, expected him to abruptly lose his cool in a bid to deny my allegation, but he didn't, instead, he froze into place.Something a guilty person was likely to do.I probed further. “We just don’t know how far your loyalty to her went. Or who else you were protecting.”His eyes met mine then, for the first time in years. And there, in that single moment, I saw it.Guilt. And fear.“I only did what I thought was right,” he whispered. “She told me… she told me the prophecy would bring ruin. That your bond would awaken something uncontrollable. That the pack would be torn apart by power and chaos.”“That wasn’t your choice to make,” I snapped, the words burning in my throat.He looked down. “It wasn’t just me.”My heart pounded.“Who?” Julian demanded, stepping forward. “Who else was part of this?”Harin opened his mouth.But at that moment, a sharp gasp tore from his chest. His eyes bulged, his fingers clawing at his throat.“Harin!” I shouted, l

CHAPTER 53LUCKILY, IT DIDN'T.It was a messenger at the door. He was carried away staring at something when Julian opened the door. Guess that was why he didn't hear us call.“Jeez!" I exclaimed. “You scared us for a minute." The messenger snapped out of it, bowing immediately. “I'm so sorry, Alpha and Lady Raven." Julian nodded curtly. “What brings you here?" He pulled out a heap of books and tomes from the small bag he held. “The Beta asked me to deliver these to his daughter." Julian parted for me to get them. I did, my eyes narrowing cautiously on the heap. “Thank you." "Also,” the messenger began, "He has asked for a brief conversation with the Alpha. He says it is urgent.”Julian groaned lightly, and a chuckle escaped my lips. "Tell him he'll be there.” I injected.The messenger nodded. He took his leave, and Julian shut the door, leaving just us both together again.“You want me to leave?" He asked with furrowed brows.I shrugged, a smile on my lips. “Well, just say I nee

CHAPTER 52MY SKIN BURNED.I exhaled slowly, heart pounding. “Julian…”He took one step forward and then another, until the space between us disappeared. His fingers found mine, gently curling around them. “Four days, Raven,” he said, voice low and hoarse. “Four days I thought I’d lost you. And now you’re here. And I can feel you—really feel you. I don’t want to waste another second.”“I was afraid,” I whispered, my throat tightening. “That I’d never get the chance to know what it really felt like—to be yours. To feel what we were meant to feel.”Julian cupped my cheek with a trembling hand. “Do you feel it now?”I nodded, and my eyes blurred with tears. “It’s burning through me.”His lips met mine before I could say another word.There was no hesitation, no caution. Just raw, desperate need. His mouth moved over mine like a promise he’d been aching to keep. My fingers threaded into his hair as I leaned into him, breath catching at the sheer weight of what surged between us. The bond,
