Haliyah’s POV.

“As long as what?” I asked.

My gaze unconsciously darted to his lips, then back to those deep eyes. Of course there would be a condition. Nothing came without a price. Nothing in this world came for free. Not kindness. Not even mercy. Especially not from someone as powerful as him. I needed to know what he wanted in return.

“I can repay you with money, or I can work for you. Anything you want. If you help me get a divorce…” I trailed off, unsure whether I should finish the senten

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 69: Complicated

    Haliyah’s POV. My vision was blurry, light and shadow forming the shape of a man carrying me. It took me a moment to register the scent of wood and musk. My eyelids fluttered as I forced my eyes open. Damon’s face came into partial view from my angle. I caught the outline of his neck and the firm line of his jaw as he moved forward. When he finally walked away from Cassandra and Raven, I felt the tension dissipate, though not entirely. They didn’t follow. They stayed behind, and I could still feel their presence lingering like unresolved pressure in the air. Only when we turned into a quieter corridor did I finally breathe properly. I watched him from where I lay in his arms, trying to piece together what little I had heard earlier, but the fragments refused to form anything clear. I questioned it because it didn’t match what I expected. Damon wasn’t someone who involved himself unnecessarily. He wasn’t supposed to stand between me and least of all accusations directed at me. A

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 68: Denial

    Damon’s POV. Still carrying Haliyah in my arms as I walked out of the restroom, my mind wandered far away, replaying what had just happened inside. I still couldn’t forget how I had suddenly kissed her on the forehead while staring at her face. I shook my head, hoping that with the motion, the memory would somehow be shaken loose and erased as I walked down the empty hallway. I still couldn’t understand why I did that— whether it was because of the way my wolf had been howling inside me. It wasn’t as if I was unaware of how my wolf kept insisting, over and over again, that Haliyah was my mate. Maybe I had simply been carried away by that bond and not because I actually wanted it. “It was the mate pull. Nothing more.” The words came out low and flat, spoken more to silence the noise in my own head and convince myself. The mate pull was a deep, natural force that bound two destined wolves together. It wasn’t something chosen or learned— it just existed, beyond logic or reason. Wh

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 67: Un(Intentional) Kiss

    Damon’s POV. I carried the unconscious Haliyah out of the bathroom. She remained limp in my arms, still under the effects of the substance. Whoever did this knew how to control the dosage and avoid killing her while still making her weak enough to collapse. She needed to be moved somewhere safe. I paused for a moment in front of the bathroom door, thinking about what if anyone saw us like this— me carrying her while we were alone together— they might misunderstand and assume something improper. But then, I reminded myself that the situation was normal. Carrying an unconscious person wasn’t unusual in emergencies. There was nothing to question. I didn’t need to explain anything. My gaze dropped to her face. Her expression still looked peaceful in unconsciousness, but I knew it wasn’t real rest. Her body was still fighting something internally. Even in stillness, there was tension in her system. I could sense it in the irregular rhythm of her breathing. My mind started analyz

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 66: Exception

    Damon’s POV. “I won’t touch you…” I meant it. I would not. But even as the words left my mouth, I could already see how fragile Haliyah was in front of me. Her body wasn’t just weakening; it was slowly taking her away piece by piece. I watched her closely as she slowly lost consciousness while sitting on the floor after hearing my words. The resistance that always defined her whenever I was near slipped away in real time. Not slowly like rest, but abruptly like something inside her system had been forcibly shut down. Her guard dropped completely. Her shoulders slackened. The tension that used to hold her upright disappeared. Her hands, which had been pushing me away moments ago, fell down as if she had forgotten how to hold them up. “Haliyah,” I called softly. I moved closer and reached out, but stopped just before touching her. My hand hovered in the air, suspended between action and restraint. There was a line. I had always known there was a line with her and she had made it

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 65: Blind Rage

    Raven’s POV. My ears perked up instantly when I heard Cassandra say she had seen Haliyah and Damon together in the restroom. My mind immediately started to spiral, forming all kinds of disturbing images and possibilities I didn’t want to entertain. Why were they together? What were they doing in there? Was there a secret affair between my wife and my uncle? My fists clenched tightly at my sides as I walked faster. My vision darkened, anger and disbelief mixing. I didn’t even fully register Cassandra following behind me anymore. Her presence was just noise in the background. What if something was really happening behind my back? It refused to leave my head. It kept repeating until it drowned out everything else. My steps turned quicker, almost breaking into a run. The possessive instinct I always contained suddenly rose to the surface. I tried to think logically, but my mind kept painting scenes I didn’t ask for. The thought of Haliyah being with another man, especially Damon, ma

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 64: Losing Control

    Cassandra’s POV. I gritted my teeth so hard as I watched Damon break through the locked bathroom door and force his way inside just to get to Haliyah. I couldn’t help but feel furious that the plan I had carefully prepared for tonight didn’t fully succeed. I still hadn’t managed to completely bring Haliyah down or damage her image in front of everyone here. I had done everything right this time. Haliyah was supposed to be vulnerable enough to damage her standing, her image, her place in this pack. But of all times, Damon just had to show up and shatter the moment. Even when she should have been irrelevant, someone always came running to her. Stomping my feet, I turned on my heels and marched out of there. I hurried away from the bathroom, glancing cautiously around to make sure no one would suspect me. I slowed my pace as I re-entered the banquet hall, smoothing my dress and adjusting my expression. By the time I reached my seat, I was already someone else again, acting like nothi

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 46: Promiscuous

    Damon’s POV. I adjusted the necktie of my blue tuxedo and studied my reflection in the mirror. Then, I glanced at my watch to check the time. It was already seven in the evening, and the banquet would begin at around eight. I grabbed my coat and car keys before leaving my condominium. I got into

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 43: Suspense

    Haliyah’s POV. On the fourth day of our investigation, Damon and I met again. Around four in the afternoon, we met by the lake with the fountain and the wide open field that overlooked the city lights of the pack. I waved at him when I spotted him from a distance. He arrived on a motorcycle this

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 42: Glimpse

    Haliyah’s POV. We successfully got a copy of the CCTV footage from the coffee shop after Damon spoke with the café manager. It turned out the manager recognized me and even more so when he saw who I was with. He remembered how powerful Damon was as an Alpha, so he didn’t hesitate to give what we a

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 26: Savior

    Haliyah’s POV. I turned around. Raven was only a few steps away. His tall figure blocked part of the hallway light, casting a long shadow across the floor. His dark eyes bore into me. I could feel my chest tighten, my lungs constricting with shock. “You…” I whispered hoarsely. He inched closer.
