There were things I had been questioning myself lately. It was how my body was able to allow this man to touch me sensually. Not only that, I had let him own and brand me, and even my wolf was trusting him more than she trusted our former mate.

I still remember that time when Redmund had attempted to touch me, and I had gotten away with it by pushing him off me. I remembered I was way more disgusted than the time I broke my celibacy promise when I slept with Lucretius.

For Redmund, it felt unna

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 164: Born from Fear and Trauma

    A soft knock interrupted my thoughts, and I looked up. "Come in."The study room opened. Father entered carrying a silver tea tray, the porcelain clinking gently with each careful step. My expression softened immediately. "Father..."A soft, gentle smile appeared on his face. It was his usual smile every time he saw his beloved daughter. "There, you are, my little moon."My breath hitched at the endearment he used to call me since I was little. It melted my heart instantly as the scent of the chrysanthemum tea reached me first."You made it?" I asked softly."Of course." He set the tray down carefully like the small ceremony of it almost endearing. I watched as the way he arranged the cup and poured with more precision than the task strictly required before taking the seat across from me.For a moment, neither of us spoke. The silence wasn't awkward. It never was with him. Instead, it felt comfortable and familiar. It felt like... home.I thanked Father for serving me the tea and wra

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 163: Stubborn Lucretius

    The familiar scent of parchment, ink, and brewed tea greeted me the moment I stepped into my office at the Caelthorn Trade House.For a brief moment, I simply stood there, looking and remembering.The large windows overlooked the busy streets of the capital. Merchants moved between wagons. Workers unloaded create from incoming caravans. Clerks hurried through the corridors carrying ledgers thicker than some history books.Everything looked exactly the same. And yet, somehow, it wasn't.Because the last time I stood there, I was still Marcelo's wife.The realization settled heavily inside my chest. Slowly, I walked toward my desk and brushed my fingers over its polished wooden surface.How strange... It felt like years had passed, not weeks. Years.A faint knock echoed through the study room. "Lady Euphyllia?"I turned as one of the clerks immediately lowered his head upon entering. "The quarterly reports have arrived." "Thank you."He carefully placed several folders onto my desk b

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 162: Let Them Watch, Let Them See

    The world narrowed to the space between us as Lucretius began to lift my skirt, the fabric whispering against my skin in the cool night air.My breath hitched, a sharp, audible intake of anticipation as I watched him lower himself to his knees before me. The powerful, indomitable man who commanded armies and senates was now kneeling at my feet, an offering of utter devotion.My fingers found their way into his hair again, gently clutching the dark strands, grounding myself against the overwhelming swell of emotion and desire. He looked up at me, his gaze burning with an intensity that promised both worship and ruin. He held my eyes as he reached beneath the hem of my skirt, his fingers tracing a slow, deliberate path up my thigh until they found the flimsy lace of my panties. There was a pause, a heartbeat of suspended silence, and then with a sharp, decisive tug, he tore them. The fabric gave way with a rending sound that was shockingly loud in the quiet garden, and a sharp gasp es

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 161: Lucretius' Reward

    The moment we stepped beyond the brighter sections of the palace grounds, the sounds of the banquet faded behind us. The distant music became nothing more than a faint melody carried by the evening breeze.Moonlight spilled across the stone pathways, silvering the gardens and casting long shadows underneath the towering hedges. I was the one leading him, or at least pretending to, because despite allowing me to tug him along, Lucretius never loosened his hold on my hand. Not once."Where are we going, wifey?" he asked calmly. I glanced over my shoulder and immediately caught the look in his eyes. It was the look of a man who already knew the answer. A smile tugged at my lips. "Why?" I teased. "Are you impatient, hubby?"His gaze turned dark and dangerous, yet held a hint of amusement. "Very."Heat immediately rushed to my cheeks, but I hid it by grinning at his honesty. Eventually, I led him toward a quieter section near the rear gardens where the palace walls shielded the area fro

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 160: Husband's Losing Battle

    A ripple of laughter lingered around the table. Lady Cordelia was still fanning herself dramatically while several noblewomen had completely abandoned any attempt to hide their amusement.Meanwhile, the subject of the conversation was finally reaching his limit. I noticed it before anyone else. Perhaps, because I knew him too well.Across the ballroom, Lucretius suddenly stopped pretending to pay attention to the officers surrounding him. Commander Blitzard was speaking. At least, I assumed he was.Because my husband wasn't listening. Not anymore. His gaze remained fixed on me. Completely and dangerously.One of the commanders followed his line of sight before groaning loudly. "Oh, for the love of the Moon Goddess." Several officers immediately laughed. Another slapped Lucretius on the shoulder and told him, "Go."A second one rolled his eyes. "Please."A third pointed directly toward me. "Your wife is right there."The surrounding officers looked thoroughly exasperated. Meanwhile

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 159: The Man Who Wants to Devour Her

    Marcelo's smile finally returned, not because he was comfortable, but because he had no other choice. I watched him straighten his posture slightly before taking a slow sip of wine, buying himself time, thinking, and calculating.The same way he always did whenever negotiations turned unfavorable.Unfortunately for him, this wasn't a negotiation anymore."Your Majesties are correct."The ballroom immediately quieted again. Everyone turned toward him. Even Rachelle looked interested.Marcelo inclined his head respectfully. "The attempt on Lady Euphyllia's life is a serious matter," he paused. "But that is precisely why I was concerned."There it was.The recovery attempt.Several nobles exchanged glances, listening, and Marcelo continued smoothly. "Lady Euphyllia endured a traumatic event." His gaze shifted toward me. It was the same expression he used to wear whenever guests were watching. "She nearly lost her life."I remained silent, letting him speak."Afterward, she disappeared fr

    "How may I help you, mister?" I asked politely.He stood just inside the entrance of my tent, no longer the quiet man leaning against a wooden post. In the lamplight, the tension I once sensed around him seemed sharper now. "I wished to thank you properly, Lady Euphyllia.""For what?" I asked."Fo

    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...
