A soft moan escaped my mouth as he pinned me against the wall, trailing kisses down my neck. “Let’s tie up your ex and have sex in front of him. This will be your ultimate revenge, princess!” … Omega Harley was a perfect housewife, deeply in love with her husband, Alpha Xander Ledger. But when she found out about his affair with her best friend, Ella, all bets were off. After an ugly clash with backstabbers, Harley sought escape in the shadows of the moon bar, where one reckless kiss with a handsome stranger turned her world upside down. She never expected him to be Xander’s uncle, Alpha Carlos Ledger. However, Carlos wasn’t just an Alpha, he was the Alpha. Dangerous, dominant, and determined to claim the omega he desired, craving her badly. As forbidden love sparked between Harley and her ex's uncle, would she surrender before the Alpha who should be off limits? Or the fire he ignited in her heart would consume her as a whole?

“Why is Ella sharing her nudes with Xander?” As I switched on the laptop for the record of monthly expenditures, the notification on my Alpha husband’s official email caught me off guard. I was startled to see the contents of Ella’s email. She had sent intimate images to Xander without any message or subject. For a moment, I couldn’t believe my eyes that my best friend would do something like this! Ella and I were childhood BFFs, sticking to each other’s side in every thick and thin. She was used to calling Xander her brother, respecting our relationship. Then how could she cross the limits of decency all of a sudden? I knew that spying on your spouse was wrong, but I couldn’t suppress my suspicion and decided to get to the bottom of it. There was a voice screaming in the back of my head that something was fishy! Xander was expanding his business overseas, so his one laptop was at home for me. I had to manage the pack expenses and make a full report for him to review later. All thanks to my luck, I was able to check Ella’s email before him this time, scrolling back to the start of their conversation. The ground below me shook as I took a look at the thread. “Meet me at the Hotel in London. I will wait for you.” Just like that, Xander had informed Ella about his every foreign trip, inviting her to his room. The world around me spun on its axis as I read about their recent meet up. “Don’t call or text on the phone, Ella. Harley will get suspicious. Let’s meet at my farmhouse tonight!” An involuntary gasp escaped my mouth as I sat there frozen, staring at the laptop screen in a catatonic stupor. My Alpha husband’s betrayal cut through my heart. After three years of marriage, he hooked up with my best friend, stabbing me in my back. The sting of his treachery burned my eyes with tears as I choked out. “How can you do this to me, Xander? I loved you!” The rivers of despair flowed down my cheeks as the memories of the past flashed across my mind, laughing at me for my stupidity. I was moving heaven and earth to be the ideal wife for Xander when he was fucking Ella for fun. He disregarded my love and affection, breaking the sacred vows of matrimony. The vulgar messages on the screen snapped something inside my chest, turning my grief into burning rage. The role of Luna I played for three years made me forget my limitations as an omega. Feeling vindictive, I couldn’t help but swear impulsively. “You will pay for it, Alpha Xander Ledger!” ... Although Xander returned to the pack yesterday, he didn’t come home until evening. His emails gave me a rough idea of his whereabouts. As the Luna of his Crystal River Pack, I ordered the security staff to send me the CCTV footage of the farmhouse’s cameras. It was time to expose my cheating husband. After gathering the evidence, I booked a table in Xander’s favorite restaurant and invited him for dinner. He was reluctant to go out with me. “I am tired after a business trip, Harley. We can go some other day.” My mouth turned bitter to hear his response, but I masked my hostility with a pleasant smile and insisted. “Please try to understand, Xander. Ella has invited us for dinner. You know I can’t say no to her. She is my best friend.” As expected, Ella’s mention changed Xander’s decision. He spoke with a smile. “Oh, Ella is here? Fine, I will come.” Xander’s affection for Ella burned me as a whole, but I had to suppress my unease until the perfect moment. My fiery gaze was fixed on my husband and my BFF as they met at the restaurant like strangers. “Long time no see, Ella!” My indifferent husband, who remained cold and aloof to me throughout our marriage, was smiling widely. He didn’t hide his glee after seeing Ella. And my backstabbing friend, she lived up to her reputation and gave an Oscar winning performance of being surprised. “Brother Xander? What a pleasant surprise! Harley always complains that you don’t stay at home much. It’s nice to see you here.” They chatted like long-lost buddies, ignoring my presence. Ella was flicking her honey blonde hair flirtatiously while talking. Her pure eyes, hourglass figure, and tight red dress had captivated Xander’s attention. He praised her. “You must give Harley some tips about fashion, Ella. She doesn’t have good taste in clothes.” He criticized my style, comparing my simple housewife appearance to Ella. It was the first time I felt offended instead of laughing it off. Xander often did this in the past, showing me models’ pics for reference, but I never mind it. I was foolish enough to think that he tried to communicate about his preferences like this. But no! He always insulted me, making me conscious about my chubby figure. I was so enraged to remember all the little things I ignored until now that my patience was exhausted before dessert. Unable to keep cool, I interrupted their happy chatter and spoke up. “I have planned a surprise for you, Xander!” My firm tone puzzled my husband, but he didn’t ask anything and replied. “Yeah, sure!” After getting his approval, I called the server and gave him the pen drive to play a video on the large TV screen. That short clip was better entertainment than the live football match. Then I got up and announced, “Attention, ladies and gentlemen. We are honored to have Alpha Xander Ledger among us today. Please watch the video clip I prepared for him.” As it was the rush hour, the restaurant was packed with customers. All gazes were fixed on the wall-size screen when the proof of Xander’s infidelity was played on it. “You are such a magnificent beast, Xander!” A chorus of startled gasps echoed in the surroundings as two naked bodies intertwined passionately appeared on the screen, engaged in hot sex. It wasn’t difficult to recognize Ella and Xander in bed, as I specifically chose this clip from a long video. Ella’s breathy moans followed the sound of intense flesh slapping, she begged for more. “Harder, babes. Ahh ... fuck ...” A venomous smirk stretched my lips as my gaze fell on that dumbstruck couple, gawking at the screen in horror. Ella grabbed Xander’s arm as if he could save her now. Utterly disgusted, I took out the file from my purse and waited until the end of the video. Then, I removed my wedding ring and spoke coldly. “Alpha Xander, you have broken your vows of loyalty. So, all our promises are null and void!” Xander’s jaw clenched as he glared hard at me, asserting his dominance. But I didn’t give a damn to his Alpha authority and threw the divorce deed in his face. “You and I are done, Xander. Sign the divorce papers now!”Harley’s P.O.V.“You are safe, Alex!There’s nothing in your mind, but thoughts. You are healing.”Carlos’s cold voice echoed in the room as we watched him in stunned silence. He worked his magic on Alex, calming his panic. His body was still as his breathing evened out, stopping his quivering altogether. Alpha exhaled sharply, drawing back, the redness in his eyes faded. But the air still hummed with whatever power Alpha had just used. Derek was the first one from us to recover from this shock. He gasped in disbelief.“Y-You, did you just compel him?”Carlos stood, adjusting his cuffs like he hadn’t erased a phantom of someone’s mind. “Of course!”“But it’s wrong!” Derek protested openly. “Vampires aren’t supposed to compel humans like that. You …”“Poorly trained vampires shouldn’t.” Carlos cut him off, speaking flatly.“I don’t make mistakes.”Hearing his icy tone, I stared at Carlos in a catatonic stupor, my brain trying its best to process this sight in front of me
Harley’s P.O.V.“What?”Carlos’s weird question caught me off guard. Since when he became interested in poultry farming? And most importantly, what was the connection of this question with my life’s dilemmas?As he raised this query in the middle of a serious conversation, I didn’t voice my reservations and spoke cautiously.“There can be several reasons for such an issue.” Scratching my forehead, I frowned in confusion. “I guess … hens are sick? Or maybe something is wrong with their feed?”Carlos gave a dry chuckle, but it held no humor. “Exactly. You immediately assumed that the problem lies with the hens, not the rooster.”I stared at him, the meaning of his words finally sinking in. “Wait. Are you saying …”My eyes widened as he cut in, his voice tight and low. “I am saying that the problem in this equation is Xander. He had a wife and a mistress, but none of them got pregnant. As it’s easy to blame women in these cases, he used this excuse, although he should focus on h
Harley’s P.O.V.“Alpha, I am sorry about earlier. Can we discuss it?”After clicking send, I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding, and showed my phone to Lena.“See, I have sent the text. Now what?”“Now we wait.” Lena poured me another glass of wine and said. “Hopefully, Alpha will reply after your rudeness.”Lena went out with friends for a night out, but later, she realized her hostel gates closed at 10:00pm. So, she came to my place with good alcohol, helping me ease my taut nerves. I was hell worried about Carlos’s behavior change.As expected, Lena had the answers to all my queries. She listened to me carefully and then gave her expert opinion.“Carlos is behaving like a typical jealous, insecure boyfriend who can’t see his woman with other males.”Taking a big gulp, she declared. “He thinks Derek is his rival. So he didn’t want you to have any connection with him.”Her perspective made me choke on my drink, blowing my head away. I couldn’t even digest the word
Carlos’s P.O.V.I stood by the car, arms folded, trying to clamp down on the storm churning inside me. The tension between us was thick, too thick. But I couldn’t pretend anymore. I couldn’t act like it didn’t eat at me every time I saw Harley talking to that guy like he mattered more than I did.I wanted an answer, an assurance from Harley to be at peace. But she didn’t speak. She just gazed at me, blinking slowly, as if I’d slapped her across her face. Like she didn’t expect me to ask this.And that was what got to me!Why was she even surprised? Couldn’t she see? Couldn’t she feel it?The silence stretched awkwardly as I stared at her, clenching my fists. Harley took her sweet time for thinking and finally uttered, exhaling sharply.“I am sorry, Alpha.”My heart stopped as she spoke firmly. “I won’t break my friendship with Derek.”Her words landed like stones, each one a sharp sting, slicing right through that tether I didn’t even know was holding me upright. And cherry on
Harley’s P.O.V.What?How did he know that Derek had hugged me in public?My lips parted, but the words faltered, unable to form a proper sentence. I hadn’t expected that Carlos would mention this after his long disappearance. His voice was low but vibrating with suppressed fury, the kind that made the room feel smaller. It was like a storm was crouched in the silence.“Care to explain?”“It’s not like that!” I tried to appear calm, but my voice shook with emotion.“Derek is a friend, and he was trying to be there for me during my tough time.And for the privacy of the Ledger family …”I continued after a pause. “I specifically requested him to launch a hushed investigation that will not go public.”I didn’t know which part of my polite response was so infuriating that Carlos lunged at me, hitching my heart to my throat. I stiffened as his hands clamped down on my shoulders, firm, heated, and trembling with restrained fury. He growled, voice vibrating with power.“To hel
Harley’s P.O.V.Derek groaned and leaned back, rubbing his eyes. “Fine. Tell him. But one day, when he breaks your heart or vanishes into a coffin for a century, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”Although I rolled my eyes at his statement, it didn’t cross my mind that this would be my new trouble for the next few days. Contacting Carlos became the most important task in the world for me.I tried his number, left voicemails, and sent emails on his official account to inform him. But the result was the same. There wasn’t even a ‘seen’ on my texts. The silence gnawed at me like something cruel, leaving me restless. At first, I told myself that he was just busy. Then I told myself that he needed space.But eventually, I couldn’t lie to myself anymore. Goddess, I missed him! His absence felt louder than his presence ever did!By the fifth day, the ache in my chest had twisted into constant worry. I couldn’t eat or sleep properly, and even Spike had started watching the door, ear twitching
