The morning sun poured into my room, casting a warm glow that chased away the remnants of the night’s uncertainties. I sat in bed, stretching and recalling the kiss that lingered on my lips like a dream I didn't want to forget. Today was the day of our shopping expedition, and I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement mixed with nervous energy.

As I picked out an outfit, I considered how much had changed in such a short time. I slipped on a simple tailored dress that hugged my figure in all the right places and, after some deliberation, decided on a light jacket. I wanted to impress Gino, but more importantly, I wanted to feel confident.

"Wow, you look stunning. I might have to keep you around as my fake wife a little longer," Gino teased.

I laughed, feeling my cheeks blush. "Well, I'm glad to hear that because I'm still trying to find the perfect outfit to impress your family later."

“Trust me, with you as my date, I'm pretty sure my parents will love you,” he said, ope

  • Rejected by my ex, claimed by the CEO   53

    Harriet’s POV The engine’s hum was the only sound filling the silence inside the car. I stared out the window, watching the trees blur past, struggling to process everything that had just happened. My mind kept replaying the chaos—Aurora’s hatred, Damon’s desperation, the glow in my eyes—and I couldn’t quite believe what I’d seen, what I’d felt. Gino was silent beside me, his eyes occasionally flicking to me with concern. I could feel his gaze, but I didn’t turn to look at him yet. I needed a moment—more than that, I needed to understand what I’d become. My hands clenched into fists in my lap. I felt the residual tingling in my fingertips—the strange, electric power that still hummed beneath my skin—and I wondered how much of what happened was real, and how much was just my mind playing tricks on me. I’d always thought I was normal, just a woman trying to make her way in the world. Now, everything had changed. I was no longer sure what I was or who I should be. I took a deep

  • Rejected by my ex, claimed by the CEO   52

    Harriet's POV Damon's eyes glistened with disobedience; he held no fear. 'You think I could want to hear what you have to say? I don't. Harriet can make her own decisions about who she wants," Damon turned to me and fell to his knees, reaching for my hands, and he gazed up at me. “Harriet, the day you left was the worst nightmare for me, I should never have bet you go so easily. You are meant for me. I can’t bare to see you with anyone else, please come home and give me another chance, will you?” Damon’s words threw me. Months ago, I would have melted at such a thing to happen to me from him, but now? I felt nothing. He didn't deserve me or another chance. To him, I was just his mistress. To Gino, I was everything; he treated me like I was worthy and showed me how much he cared. There was absolutely no doubt about it. "No, Damon. I don't want to be with you; we were never meant to be. I feel nothing. Gino is my true love; he makes me feel good about myself, and I do

  • Rejected by my ex, claimed by the CEO   51

    Harriet’s POV The sudden appearance of Aurora shattered the fragile moment I had been trying to hold together. Her face was a storm—eyes blazing, lips pressed into a tense line. The air grew colder, suffocating, as if her anger had seeped into every corner of the room.Her voice was icy, cutting through the silence. “Damon, what’s going on here?” She stepped closer, suspicion and something darker flickering in her gaze.Damon straightened, his jaw tightening as he turned to face her. “Aurora, I was just—”She cut him off sharply, voice rising slightly. “Just what? Entertaining old flames? After everything?”My stomach clenched painfully. I could feel my fists tightening, but I kept my expression as neutral as I could, trying to hold onto the resolve I’d gathered. I knew Aurora’s reputation—her fierce protectiveness, her jealousy. I understood her as a rival, a threat, even if my heart was pounding painfully in my chest.Damon finally spoke, voice calm but with an undercurrent of tens

  • Rejected by my ex, claimed by the CEO   Fifty

    Harriet’s POV I stood at the edge of the place I had fled when my lover had denied me, I remembered his words that we would never be together. The tears that I had cried because of him. He had made me feel worthless and unwanted and weak. I was just an omega in his eyes. But then, I’d met Gino. He was everything that Damon wasn’t. Yet, Damon had followed me to France and believed we were mates? I couldn’t think of anything worse than being with someone who hadn’t seen my worth from the start. All I was to him was someone to have sex with. He had chosen Aurora after all, she was a better fit for him. Leaving this pack had been the right thing to do, I thought I’d be happy with Gino. A fresh start away from my old life and yet there it was, seeping its way back into my new life like a snake. I had to face Damon head on and tell him straight that we were over, he had made his decision and it was Gino I wanted to be with. Suddenly Sandra came rushing towards me with the b

    Harriet’s POV I didn't trust Aurora. Not one bit. She hated me, and now she had even more reason to try and destroy my life. I couldn't let that happen. I had to face Damon and end all of this once and for all. Gino was the one I wanted to be with, nobody else. What had started as a contract was now very much real for me! There was no way I would let Aurora come along and get in the way of anything. I would wait and bide my time, but she wasn't going to get away with anything. I was going to make her sorry for ever messing with me. “Gino, let's go home,” I told him as I slipped my hand into his and smiled up at him. I decided that once he was asleep, I would sneak out and go back to the packhouse. Damon needed to know that I was off-limits. I would never be his little sidepiece again; he deserved nothing from me. “Sure, honey.” He half smiled back, and I could already see that he was stressed out from all this. I squeezed his hand and assured him that we would be okay.

    The words hung in the air between us, sharp and heavy. I watched as surprise flickered across Harriet’s face, briefly extinguishing the fire of her anger. “What?” she breathed, her eyes wide with confusion. “Your what?” “Step-sister,” I repeated, forcing myself to stay calm, though my insides were twisting with anxiety. “Our parents married when I was young. We grew up together, but it was a complicated relationship. After I left the pack, I thought I’d never have to deal with that side of my life again.” As I spoke, I could see pieces clicking into place in her mind. “So, she’s family, but… that doesn’t explain why she’s a threat to us.” “Our relationship has always been strained. When I left after our parents death, Aurora took it personally. She felt abandoned, and now she wants to force me back into the fold—into a life I refuse to be part of.” Harriet’s expression shifted, the fiery anger ebbing but not entirely gone. “So she feels betrayed by you, then? That doesn’t e
