last update Last Updated: 2025-09-13 01:51:58

The faint morning light spilled through the curtains when I stirred awake. My body was heavy, but my thoughts were heavier. My chest felt so tight from crying to exhaustion last night.

My last clear memory I had was the cruel laughter, Redmund's cold words, Lilith's malicious acting... and then... My hand stilled as it brushed over the faint hollow etched into the edge of my bed.

Someone had stayed by my side until sleep overtook me. I remembered the warmth of a calloused hand caressing my hair, the heat of the body emitting, and the low murmur of a voice I knew too well.

"Lucretius..." I whispered.

I gasped and sat abruptly, my heart pulsating from the realization. Oh, my dear Moon Goddess! Had it been real? Was Commander Lucretius really here in my room last night?

My eyes roamed around and saw that nothing had been disturbed, yet I could see that some slight details had changed. My muddy shoes were resting neatly on the bedside, and even my cloak I used last night was lay draped o

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 65: Grieving Father

    I wasn't sure if I had spoken it aloud or if my heart had simply screamed too loudly for my lips to contain it."Father..." The man stiffened. It was subtle. Barely noticeable. Just a pause in his movement, a hesitation before his hand resumed wiping the stone. But it was enough to make my breath catch painfully in my chest.I remembered now.In every timeline I died, I had grown up to be an orphan. And this was the first timeline that only I got to have my father, who shared the same blood as me.Lucretius's hand came to my back, though his touch was light, it was as if he knew that anything more might send me breaking apart all over again. He said nothing. He didn't question me. He simply stood with me, bearing witness.The wind swept through the graveyard once more, carrying the scent of earth and chrysanthemums, rustling the tall grass that bordered the stones. For a moment, the world felt suspended, caught between past and present, between what I remembered and what I had never

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 64: The First Euphyllia

    As soon as we arrived to the Silverfall, I didn't waste anytime to tell Lucretius that we should head to see the borders of the Graveclaw Pride Pack, where the first Euphyllia had resided. Since we couldn't cross the Graveclaw Pride's territory and only glanced at the distant watchtowers, we headed to the nearby graveyard close to the pack.My chest tightened when we arrived there and went to look for where I was buried there. I assumed the burial tomb had been long forgotten, but to my surprise, it was beautifully maintained.Bewildered, I slowly stepped forward, my heartbeat loud in my ears as something deep inside me stirred. Not memory exactly, but recognition."She was buried here," I murmured. "Outside the pack she died for."Lucretius remained a few steps behind me, watchful, respectful. Giving me space while never truly leaving my side.I stopped before a stone with its markings faint but still readable.Euphyllia Caedex.Just beside it, close enough that their shadows nearly

    His answer almost made me throw a fit and punch him. My breath caught. "That's not what I—""I know," he interrupted gently. He stepped closer, close enough that I could feel the warmth of him, the steady certainty in his presence. His fingers lifted my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes. "But it is the truth you're circling," he continued quietly. "In this life. In this ending."My pulse roared in my ears."You think I'm an anomaly," he said, voice low, almost intimate. "That I appeared where I shouldn't have." His thumb brushed away the tear clinging to my lashes. "You're not wrong."I swallowed hard. "Then... what does that make you?"His gaze darkened. "The man who found you after fate failed you," he replied. "The one who stepped in when the cycle cracked." He looked at her intently. "And the one who won't let it start again."The air between us felt charged, heavy with truths he wasn't ready to name, and perhaps truths I wasn't yet strong enough to hear.Lucretius leaned in, his

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 62: The Proof

    I had asked Lucretius for that favor at a time when I still believed my life was fragile enough to shatter with a single answer.Back then, I hadn't been his Luna. Hadn't worn his mark. Hadn't learned what it meant to be protected by a man who ruled with blood and certainty.I had been a woman questioning her own sanity, grasping at fragments of memories that refused to stay buried. Names that followed me through lifetimes. Lives I could remember but could not prove.Euphyllia.I remembered how uncertain I had been when I asked him to investigate them. How foolish it had sounded even to my own ears. Deceased women bearing my name, scattered across different timelines, different lands. It was a proof that I was not imagining the lives I had lived before.So much had changed since then.War plans. Power shifts. Redmund and Lilith's betrayal.Becoming a Luna.Becoming his.Somewhere along the way, I had convinced myself that the favor no longer mattered. That whatever answer waited for m

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 61: Not Blind

    I was limping when we had lunch with everyone the next day, and Lucretius even carried me in his arms because I insisted we join the group.He was insatiable last night. As always. That he didn't stop fucking me until I was satisfied. No. Scratch that.Even if I was satisfied, I would wake up after a few minutes of resting with my legs already spread, having Lucretius's cock inside me. And right there and then, I couldn't stop moaning his name.And I could have sworn we were so loud the whole night. Every corner of the chamber, the bathroom, and even the balcony, we had done the deed so many times, and I couldn't count anymore.Romina shot me a teasing look when she noticed my condition, clearly aware of what Lucretius and I had been up to all night. Lorenzo stayed silent, his gaze fixed on Lucretius as if he were trying to say something. Meanwhile, Redmund and Lilith were absent, tied up with preparations for their wedding.It was such a shame that I didn't see him today. I really w

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 60: Equal Pleasing

    "Come and sit on my face, wifey. Suffocate me with your thighs," Lucretius said, as he lay on the daybed while I was straddling him with my back turned toward him.A gasp escaped from my lips when his hands on my waist dragged my hips to have it rested on his face. My body instantly shivered in delight as soon as I felt his warm breathing on my wet core."You're already wet this much for me, huh?" His voice muffled before I felt his tongue licking me. "Delicious." I inhaled sharply in pleasure. "L-Lucretius..." My hands clutched his trousers, where I could see his bulging groin wanting to be freed. I licked my lips upon seeing it in front of me before closing my eyes when I felt him gliding his tongue again.A wave of pleasure rushed through me as I finally opened my eyes, and the first thing I noticed was his chiseled six-pack abs. I gulped, feeling a quiet urge to lick them before completely going for his cock. I steadied myself, pressing my palms to his abdomen, feeling the heat
