Dear Ex Mate, You're Mine to Ruin Chapter 40
Lillian’s POVThe air between us was tense, thick with years of animosity. I could see Shantel’s eyes beginning to water, tears threatening to spill over as the reality of her situation crashed down on her with brutal force. Her lower lip trembled slightly, and her hands shook where they rested on the table. For a moment, I thought she might actually break down right here in front of me, might give me the satisfaction of watching her cry and fall apart completely.But she didn’t. Instead, she blinked rapidly, forcing the tears back with visible effort, and sat back in her chair with a defiant lift of her chin that would have been more convincing if her entire body wasn’t trembling.“Aaron will forever be mine,” she said, her voice trying for confident but coming out desperate and strained instead. “No matter what happens, no matter who he sleeps with, at the end of the day he comes home to me. I’m his Luna, and that’s never going to change. That bond is permanent.”I almost laughed

Lillian’s POVI stared at my secretary, still processing the information. Christine imprisoned and Shantel desperately trying to reach me, it was almost too perfect. Shantel had clearly moved fast to punish the woman who’d slept with her husband, and now she wanted to what, commiserate with me? Seek advice from someone who’d been through the same betrayal?“Tell her no,” I said firmly, turning back to my computer. “I have no interest in meeting with Luna Shantel.”My secretary nodded and left, closing the door softly behind her. I tried to refocus on the contract in front of me, but my concentration was shot. The idea of Shantel experiencing exactly what she’d helped Aaron put me through was too satisfying to ignore, but I also had no desire to get dragged into their drama.A few minutes later, there was another knock on my door. Dorian walked in without waiting for an answer, and despite everything swirling in my head, I managed a smile when I saw him.“Hey,” I said, grateful for th

Lillian’s POVThe ball had been a resounding success, and the morning after, I woke up to find it making headlines across every major news outlet in Nightspire. “Fangshade Pack Celebrates in Style. Luna Lillian and Alpha Dorian Host Lavish Birthday Ball” one headline read, accompanied by photos of the elegant decorations and distinguished guests who’d attended.But I could barely focus on the positive press because my mind kept drifting back to what had happened on the balcony with Dorian. His confession, the way he’d looked at me when he said he loved me, the feeling of his lips against mine when we’d kissed with no alcohol or excuses to hide behind this time. I didn’t know how to feel about any of it, didn’t know how to process the fact that everything between us had fundamentally shifted in the space of one conversation.“Someone’s distracted this morning,” Alanna said with a knowing smile as she helped Celeste gather her school things. “Wouldn’t have anything to do with a certain

Dorian’s POVLillian remained speechless, staring at me with wide eyes that held so many emotions I couldn’t read them all. The silence stretched between us and I felt panic start to creep in, wondering if I’d just ruined everything by confessing feelings she didn’t share.But I’d come this far, I might as well finish what I’d started.“I had no way to tell you,” I continued, my voice rougher now. “You were always so focused on taking Aaron down, so driven by your plans for revenge that there never seemed to be room for anything else. You never showed any affection toward me except that night we kissed,”I ran a hand through my hair, feeling exposed in a way I hadn’t felt in years. “So I kept it inside, told myself it didn’t matter, that our arrangement was working fine as it was. But I can’t do that anymore, Lillian. Not when the contract is ending and you might walk away without ever knowing how I feel.”She opened her mouth to speak but I held up a hand, needing to finish this befo

Dorian’s POVI led Celeste through the crowd, introducing her to the pack elders and noble families who’d come to celebrate her birthday. She was polite for a five-year-old, curtsying when I’d taught her to and saying thank you when people gave her gifts and compliments, her little face serious with concentration as she tried to remember all the names I’d been coaching her on for days. But after about the tenth introduction, I could see her attention starting to wander toward the elaborate water slide setup we’d installed in the back garden, her eyes drifting past the adults talking to her and focusing on the sounds of splashing water and children’s laughter.“ Dorian,” she tugged on my sleeve, her voice taking on that whiny quality children get when they’re done being patient and just want to go play. “Can I go play now? I want to go on the water slide!”Before I could answer, Alanna appeared at my side with a knowing smile that told me she’d been watching this slow decline in Celest

Lillian’s POVThe weeks that followed were a strange mix of emotions I couldn’t quite untangle. The awkwardness between Dorian and me hung in the air like a thick fog at first, making every interaction feel forced and uncomfortable. We’d pass each other in hallways and barely make eye contact, our conversations limited to strictly necessary business matters delivered in clipped, professional tones.But slowly, almost imperceptibly, things began to shift back toward normal. Maybe it was because we were both too busy to dwell on what had happened, or maybe we were just good at compartmentalizing. Either way, we started talking again like nothing had happened, falling back into our old rhythm of strategic planning and shared victories. But we never for once talk about the night. Its good that way. Over the past weeks, there were plenty of victories to celebrate.AMS Corporation was drowning in headlines about their impending bankruptcy, each news story more damning than the last. The IR
