Damon’s POV.

With my finger, I stirred the ice in the glass of tequila I was holding. I sat at the edge of the bar counter, watching people greet each other with cheek kisses and clink their glasses together. Typical behavior of elites in social gatherings.

I averted my gaze and took a long gulp of my drink. The bitterness burned down my throat, but I set the glass down like it didn’t bother me at all. That had always been one of the reasons I rarely attended pack meetings or events. I didn’

    Damon’s POV. When I heard that Hailey had just left, an inexplicable dejection washed over me. I didn’t even bother to conceal the displeasure that surfaced on my face that even Ford began to notice and wonder why my mood had suddenly soured. “What do you mean she left?” Ford asked, drawing a puzzled look as he turned to the man who had delivered the news. “She left just a few minutes ago. I saw her heading out with another woman.” Ford gave an incredulous breath. “She left already?” The man just shrugged. “She didn’t stay long.” “That’s just great,” Ford exhaled with frustration. “I’ve been trying to catch her at one of these events for weeks, and she leaves before I even get the chance.” “Bad timing,” the man nodded. “Yeah,” Ford replied dryly. “You could say that.” The man glanced between us, then gave a nod. “Anyway… I thought you’d want to know.” Without waiting for a response, he excused himself and walked back into the crowd. Silence lingered in his wake, as though

    Damon’s POV. With my finger, I stirred the ice in the glass of tequila I was holding. I sat at the edge of the bar counter, watching people greet each other with cheek kisses and clink their glasses together. Typical behavior of elites in social gatherings. I averted my gaze and took a long gulp of my drink. The bitterness burned down my throat, but I set the glass down like it didn’t bother me at all. That had always been one of the reasons I rarely attended pack meetings or events. I didn’t like pretending, especially not the subtle competitions with Alphas. On top of that, most people were hesitant to approach me because of my reputation. And yet now, I found myself doing the very things I used to avoid. I had started attending these events that demanded social interaction again. Sensing my boredom, Ford left me alone instead of pushing me to socialize. I glanced over at him and saw that he was thoroughly enjoying himself on the dance floor. This last event we attended was som

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 50: The Talk Of The Town

    Damon’s POV. “The one everyone’s been talking about lately…” Ford said, sounding intrigued. We kept walking inside the pack house with Daniel leading the way, while Ford went on about the woman he called Hailey. “I only met her once,” Ford added, a hint of interest clear in his voice. “It was at one of the gatherings, but she stood out immediately. She’s clever. You can tell just from the way she talks. And the way she carries herself… It comes naturally.” Daniel chuckled. “You’re praising her a lot for someone you only met once.” “I’m serious,” Ford insisted. “She draws attention without even trying. People notice her the moment she walks in.” I remained quiet, my expression unchanged, though I found myself listening more. “That’s exactly the kind of Luna I’ve been looking for,” Ford continued. “Someone like her.” Daniel smirked. “You already decided that after one meeting?” Ford shrugged. “You just know when you see her.” I snickered but said nothing. For someone Ford ba

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 49: Almost

    Haliyah’s POV. Because of my active presence in pack gatherings, I gradually became known within social circles as a charming woman. Soon, whispers began circulating about the version of me I had created in their minds. Little did they know that the woman they now admired and spoke highly of was the same one they once looked down upon. “Your reputation is already spreading, Hailey.” I turned my attention to the voice beside me. It was Luna Catherine from the Embermoon Pack. Their pack specialized in maternal care systems, ensuring that no pregnant she-wolf was left unattended. I had met her at a previous event, and since then, she had been overly friendly with me. I went with her because she had invited me to assist in checking on expecting mothers and ensuring that the pack healers were properly attending to pregnant wolves within their territory. I wasn’t sure why she chose me for something so personal, but I agreed anyway. It was another opportunity for exposure, another lay

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 48: Avoidance

    Haliyah’s POV. After the Lunar Ascension Banquet, I continued attending gatherings within our pack and even managed to visit other packs, all in an effort to expand my connections. Lately, Raven had not been as restrictive with me, which I found pleasing as it aligned perfectly with the execution of my plans. Or perhaps he was simply too preoccupied with his mistress to concern himself with what I do or where I go. As part of my pretense, I introduced myself as Hailey to every influential figure I encountered from distant packs. I made sure to keep my real identity hidden. It helped, at least to some extent, that Raven never introduced me as his Luna to the other wolves. I was able to take full advantage of this for my own interests. We never arrived or appeared together at every event, so no one suspected any connection between us. Perhaps he also found it convenient to let me deal with other clans alone, knowing that if any trouble arose within our pack, I would be the one exp

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 47: Possessive

    Damon’s POV. I approached Haliyah, a mix of jealousy and suspicion rising within me after seeing her smile and talk with another man. My wolf wanted to claim her, but I forced myself to stay in control. I needed to talk to her properly first. My jaw clenched as I took another step closer, my eyes locked on her. My wolf was furious. I could feel it demanding I act. She wasn’t mine. I had no right to feel that way. But my wolf didn’t care about reason or logic. It didn’t care about the situation, about who she was speaking to, or what this gathering meant. It didn’t care about any of that. It only saw one thing— another male standing too close to her, hearing her voice, holding her attention. And it wanted to tear that away. It wanted to step in, to pull her away from that man, to make it clear where she belonged. Why did it feel wrong to see her with someone else? Why did it feel like something was being taken from me even though nothing was ever mine to begin with? I clenched my

    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 41: Contigency Plan

    Haliyah’s POV. In the end, we gained nothing. Even after discovering where Raven and Cassandra would meet today and seeing them with our own eyes, it still wasn’t enough. Suspicion alone and a few observations wouldn’t stand in a real case, especially not against someone like Raven. I sank back a

  • Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 39: Commence

    Haliyah’s POV. The next day, I met Damon in a hidden café at the far end of the pack. It wasn’t a place many people usually went to. Surrounded by old trees and half-covered in vines along its walls, it almost looked abandoned from the outside. But inside, it was quiet and just secluded enough wh

    Haliyah’s POV. As Damon and I had agreed, in exchange for the contract I signed, he would help me obtain the divorce I had been wanting. And now, we began discussing ways to gather solid evidence of Raven and Cassandra’s affair. “Where do we start?” I asked, fastening my seatbelt. He had offere
