CHAPTER 71

RAVEN’S POV

HE’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 73

    CHAPTER 73JULIAN’S POVMY LIFE NOW!The air was thick with ash and stale beer.I don’t remember the name of the bar. Just that the wood was sticky and the air thick with whiskey breath and old desperation.I sat on the edge of a rusting bench at the counter of the last bar on the strip, elbows on my hard metal, cigarette smoldering between my fingers—unlit. My head pounded with the kind of ache that comes from trying to forget too much in too little time.I didn’t hear her approach, but I felt it.There was this undeniable shift in the air, like a breath caught between the planes of the universe.When I lifted my head, there she was. Raven.She was wearing a cloak that had seen better days, her hair wind-tossed, cheeks flushed from travel. Her eyes—damn those e

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Betrayed By My Ex, Claimed By His Father   CHAPTER 68

    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
