Claire's POV

The drive to Theo's penthouse passed in a blur of city lights and gentle pressure—his hand warm and steady on my knee, an anchor keeping me tethered to the present moment instead of spiraling into the chaos of everything that had just happened. He didn't speak, didn't ask questions, didn't demand explanations. He simply drove with quiet purpose while his thumb traced small, soothing circles against my leg.

I found myself focusing on that simple touch, using it to ground myself. The familiar scent of his car—gradually replaced the memory of Adrian's alcohol-tainted breath. The steady hum of the engine drowned out the echo of Luna Roanna's threats. Slowly, incrementally, my racing heart began to settle.

When we reached his building, Theo guided me through the lobby and into the private elevator with the same protective care, his hand at the small of my back, his body positioned slightly between me and the world. Even the doorman's polite g

  • Hooking Up With Her Ex's Alpha Dad   Chapter 124 My mate, My Luna

    Claire's POVTheo fucked the living daylights out of me and he didn't look like he was stopping anytime soon. He gave me a minute to catch my breath as his mouth found mine again and again, each kiss carrying the weight of everything we'd almost lost. I could taste his relief, his love, his absolute devotion in the way his lips moved against mine."I love you," he murmured, his voice rough with emotion as his hands began the slow process of reacquainting themselves with my body. "More than I've ever loved anyone else Claire, more than life itself."The words sent shivers through my entire system, but it was the way he touched me—with reverence, with worship, with the kind of desperate gratitude that spoke of a man who'd thought he'd lost everything—that made something deep inside my chest begin to crack open.When he moved above me again, when our bodies joined with the perfect synchronization, the physical sensation was almost secondary to the emotional explosion happening in my hear

    The words spilled from my lips with the force of a dam bursting, carrying all the emotion I'd held back during those endless weeks of silence. "I love you too, Claire. Madly. Completely. More than I ever thought possible."Her eyes widened, those beautiful green depths that had haunted my dreams filling with something that looked like wonder. Before I could say another word, her hands fisted in my shirt, pulling me down to her with desperate urgency that matched the ache in my chest.When our lips met, it was like coming home after a lifetime of wandering. The kiss was desperate, hungry, filled with weeks of longing and misunderstanding and the overwhelming relief of finally being in each other's arms again. I tasted tears—mine or hers, I couldn't tell—and something deeper that spoke of love reclaimed, trust restored, promises renewed.We stumbled into her apartment, neither willing to break the contact that felt so essential after our separation. The door slammed shut behind us, encl

  • Hooking Up With Her Ex's Alpha Dad   Chapter 122 Cleared the air

    Claire's POVThe evidence stared back at me from Theo's phone screen, each email timestamp and contract detail unraveling the narrative I'd constructed in my mind with devastating efficiency. The cold, professional tone of his responses to Daisy's increasingly personal overtures. The careful scheduling that minimized their contact to essential business meetings. The calendar entries showing dozens of attempted calls to my number interspersed between every corporate obligation.I had been so wrong. So completely, catastrophically wrong.The business partnership that had looked like romantic intimacy from across the street was revealed for what it truly was—a strategic alliance that Theo had endured rather than enjoyed, navigated with the same calculated precision he brought to every corporate negotiation. The smile I'd witnessed, the one that had shattered my heart so completely, wasn't the expression of a man falling in love but of someone maintaining prof

    Theo's POVHer words crashed over me like waves against stone, each syllable carrying the weight of a revelation that made my chest constrict with sudden understanding. Daisy. The confusion in my mind cleared instantly as the pieces fell into place with devastating clarity—Claire had seen us together, had witnessed something that she'd interpreted as betrayal, had been carrying this pain in silence while I'd been desperately trying to reach her."Claire, wait," I said urgently, but she was already retreating into her apartment, the door swinging closed between us like a physical manifestation of the distance that had been growing for weeks. "Please, just let me explain."My hand shot out to catch the door before it could close completely, the same motion Adrian had made moments earlier, though my intentions came from protection rather than possession. The irony wasn't lost on me—I was standing in the same hallway where I'd just threatened my son for

    Claire's POVThe doorway had become a battlefield, and I was caught in the crossfire between two men who seemed determined to claim pieces of me I no longer had to give. Adrian's grip on my wrist had tightened with each word of his desperate plea, his fingers digging into my skin with a possessiveness that made my stomach turn. I'd been trying to close the door, to end this conversation that felt like emotional violence disguised as romantic pursuit, when his hand had shot out to stop me."Claire, please," he'd said, his voice cracking with the kind of desperation that might have moved me once, before I'd learned to recognize manipulation dressed up as vulnerability. "Just give me five minutes. Five minutes to explain everything.""I don't want explanations," I'd replied, pulling back against his grip while trying to maintain some semblance of calm. "Adrian, you need to leave. Now."That's when his fingers had clamped down harder, not enough to bruise but

  • Hooking Up With Her Ex's Alpha Dad   Chapter 119 Let go of her

    The silence had become unbearable. Four days of unanswered calls, ignored texts, and the growing certainty that every hour of separation was driving Claire further away from me. I'd tried respecting her need for space, tried giving her time to process whatever storm was raging in her mind, but my wolf was going insane with the need to see her, to touch her, to confirm that she was safe and whole.Charlie had advised patience. My mother had counseled moving on. Even my own rational mind suggested that pursuing a woman who clearly didn't want to see me was a losing proposition. But none of them understood the fundamental truth that had been eating away at my sanity—I would rather face her rejection in person than continue existing in this purgatory of uncertainty.The drive to her apartment building felt like traveling through a nightmare landscape where every familiar street corner reminded me of moments we'd shared. The coffee shop where I'd bought her favorite b
