The Alpha's Ex-Mateย ย ย Ace Of Manipulation
I followed Selena silently toward the council courtroom, my eyes fixed on her back. It was as though I were trying to see through her, to reach the depths of her soulโbut it was a futile attempt.Lyon was just as restless as I was and the uncertainty of what Selena would announce as her decision before the council made both of us anxious. Selena entered the courtroom first, her steps graceful yet determined. I followed a few paces behind, watching as she moved with quiet confidence and grace. She took her seat beside the High Priestess, while I settled into a row just behind her. Despite the physical distance between us, I could sense her awareness of my presence. Her subtle shifts in posture and the faint tension in her shoulders told me she knew I was there.The council head entered the courtroom, and everyone rose in respect. He was an elder of the werewolf community, a figure of immense authority and wisdom, with over two centuries of experience. Known for his unparalleled powers

Though Mother wasnโt pleased with my decision, she refrained from voicing her disapproval. She knew that no amount of arguing would change my mind, especially after the council had formally sealed the agreement.Zander approached me, holding Austinโs small hand, and my heart ached with the overwhelming need to embrace my son. Maddox and Blair followed closely behind, their expressions unreadable.โAustin, this is Selena,โ Zander said gently, crouching to meet our sonโs gaze. โSheโs going to live with us now.โAustinโs curious eyes studied me with a mix of confusion and innocence. I offered him a soft smile, silently praying that some part of his heart would recognize meโperhaps just a trace of the bond we shared, the blood and flesh that connected us, would make him realize who I was.โWhy will she live with us?โ Austin asked, tilting his head toward his father.His words pierced through me, and I sighed deeply, the weight of despair settling over my chest. My baby boy didnโt recogniz

I sat on the edge of the guest room bed, glancing around. Everything here felt so familiar, yet at the same time, it felt like I didnโt belong. What had happened in such a short time that made me feel so lost in what was once my home? Or... was it even my home anymore? I let out a sigh, still wrestling with the unanswered questions swirling in my mind.Zander left for the pack office to handle some work with Maddox, and Blair took Austin with her. As if things couldnโt get more complicated, I discovered that my father, stepmother, and half-sister were also here when I returned. Now, I had to live with them in the pack house as well.To my shock, none of them remembered meโnot even my own father. To make matters worse, they all seemed to despise me the moment Zander introduced me as his mate. Their resentment stemmed from their desire for Anne to be with the alpha king instead.What luck I had.Slumping back onto the bed, I stared blankly at the ceiling, trying to quiet my thoughts. Sud

โYouโre not serious, are you?โ I snapped, narrowing my eyes in annoyance.Zander watched me for a moment, his expression confused, before realization dawned on him.โWhy canโt I sleep here? Itโs my bed,โ he shot back, his tone calm but firm.I blinked at him in disbelief as he walked to the other side of the bed, sat down, and stretched out his long legs. He leaned back, adjusting his pillows with casual ease.โButโฆ but you said you wouldnโt come closer,โ I muttered nervously, clutching the cover tightly to my chest.He glanced at me, amusement dancing in his eyes. His blue irises sparkled with mischief, and in that moment, I knew I was in trouble.โThe bed is big enough, and Iโll stay on my side,โ he declared, his tone laced with playful arrogance. โI promised I wouldnโt touch you, and Alpha Zander is true to his word.โHis confidence, combined with that mischievous glint in his eyes, made my heart race.I narrowed my eyes, not buying his convincing act for a second.

His movements became more urgent as he unbuttoned the shirt I woreโhis shirt. His tongue flicked over the swell of my breast, drawing a gasp from me as my body instinctively arched beneath him. But suddenly, a sharp knock on the door shattered the moment, jolting us both back to reality.โSomeoneโs knocking on the door,โ I murmured, trying to squirm free from his hold, though it seemed he had no intention of stopping.โDonโt listen,โ he groaned, his hand gripping my other breast as he pushed the fabric of the shirt lower, revealing more of me to his hungry gaze.My breathing hitched as his lips found my hardened nipple, drawing a shiver through my body. โWhat if... what if itโs Austin?โ I managed to whisper, my voice trembling. Memories of our baby boy coming into our room in the mornings flashed through my mind, making my heart race for an entirely different reason.Zander lifted his head slightly, his lips still hovering over their target as he whispered, โI have Blair and Mother to

โHi!โ I greeted with a warm smile as I stepped into Austin's room.โHi, Selena!โ Blair replied with her smile just as warm-hearted as I remembered. A sense of relief washed over meโshe hadnโt changed.I glanced at Austin, who was still cuddled in her arms, and hesitated, silently asking through my eyes if I could come closer. My heart ached at the bittersweet momentโI had to ask for permission to be near my own son. Such a cruel twist of fate.Blair nodded with an encouraging smile, and I moved toward Austin. โHey, baby boy,โ I whispered softly, brushing my fingers through his hair.He stirred, lifting his head and blinking up at me with sleepy eyes. โReady for school?โ I asked gently, smiling at him.โNo, I still have to get ready,โ he said, his lips forming an adorable pout.โAww, then letโs get started, honey,โ I said, scooping him up from Blairโs arms. To my immense relief, he didnโt protest. My sonโhe must have felt his motherโs love, as deep and unconditional as ever.I carried

Zander took the fruit bowl and began placing cut fruit onto my plate, followed by some eggs and sausages.โThis... this is way too much for me,โ I said, my eyes widening as I realized there was no way I could eat it all.โEat more, mate,โ he replied, his voice laced with teasing. โThese are all your favorites, right? You should eat properly. Otherwise, the people of your realm will start gossiping that their queenโs mate doesnโt take care of her.โ The arrogance of the alpha king echoed in his voice, and I couldnโt complain. I had known what I was getting into when I chose to love this domineering alpha king.โYouโre only concerned about your new mate and have forgotten your son, Zander,โ his motherโs annoyed voice cut through the breakfast chatter, making us both turn to her. Her sharp tone brought my attention to Austin, who was pushing his plate away, his little face scrunched up in irritation. His omega nanny was trying, unsuccessfully, to coax him into eating, but he refused to ev

After finishing his food and juice, Austin got up and walked over to his dad. Zander leaned down to give him a gentle kiss on the forehead, and then Austin went to his grandmother. She kissed his cheek as he said goodbye before heading off to kindergarten with the royal driver. I followed him to the porch, where the sleek black Mercedes was parked, watching as he climbed in. Once the car disappeared down the driveway, I headed back inside.When I returned to the hall, I saw Zander and Maddox talking near the entrance, while the rest of the family was still gathered at the breakfast table."Zander, you didnโt get ready?" Maddoxโs voice broke through my thoughts, and I glanced at Zander. He was still in his sweatpants and a plain T-shirt, clearly not dressed for work."Whatโs wrong?" Zander questioned instead of replying, his tone sharp and authoritative. Typical alpha behavior."Nothing," Maddox replied calmly. "I was just thinking if youโre coming to the office late, I can reschedule

I gasped, my breath hitching in shock. My eyes darted to Zander, but he remained eerily calm, unaffected by the demonโs taunts.โIf you had just accepted my terms, I wouldnโt have had to go this far,โ the demon sneered. โI wouldnโt have had to destroy your people, enslave your shadows, and turn everything in my favor. Now, youโre all nothing but my slaves for the rest of your pathetic lives.โ His eyes darkened with cruel delight as he added, โAnd the Ancient Wolf will be mine.โThen, his gaze snapped to me, and his filthy grin widened. โThe only thing that remains the same,โ he spat, โis that Selena still dies.โโYou can dream, demon,โ Zander said with a soft, knowing smile before turning to face me. His eyes held a mixture of determination and sorrow, making my heart clench.โThis is the only way to stop him, mate,โ he whispered, his voice laced with finality. โAlways remember, I love you.โConfusion twisted inside me. โWhat are youโโBefore I could finish my sentence, Zanderโs voice

โSheโs a traitor too!โ the man who looked exactly like Zander shouted.Before I could even process what was happening, Maddox stepped forward, flanked by two guards.โYouโre under our custody,โ they declared, raising their weapons at me.Shock crashed over me like a tidal wave. Maddox? Betraying Zander? But before I could react, they shoved me toward Zander. I didnโt resistโI wanted to be close to him.โWhatโs going on, Zander?โ I demanded, my voice laced with confusion and fear.โOh, Selenaโฆ why did you come here?โ he groaned, his voice thick with anguish, his face filled with helplessness.โWell, well,โ the imposter drawled, finally catching my full attention.The Dark Alpha.I narrowed my eyes at him, my stomach twisting in disgust.

Four months had passed, and the world had gradually settled back into its natural rhythm. The catastrophe had been averted, and peace now stretched across the realms, restoring balance to the universe.I remained in the Lunar Realm with Zander and Austin, embracing the destiny that had been chosen for me. Austin had now remembered everything as the spell was broken and he now thrived under the love and attention he received as the prince of the Lunar Realm. The people had accepted Zander as my mate and husband, granting him the same respect they showed me.Despite his responsibilities as Alpha King, Zander traveled between his pack and the Lunar Realm daily. I had voiced my concerns, telling him it was risky to shift between realms so frequently, but he had only smiled and said, "For me, it's just like commuting to work."I couldnโt deny how much I cherished his presence, so I let him make the choice.On days when he had to stay in his pack longer, I accompanied him, ensuring that our

As my heart sank, the lava began to recede, shrinking its perimeter and retreating on its own. The ominous red moons grew smaller, drifting farther away with each passing second. The sacrifice had workedโthe prophecy was fulfilled.โLetโs go from here,โ the Moon Goddess said, her grip tightening around my hand.โWhat will happen to the Dark Realm?โ God Pyrrhos asked.โThe Almighty will assign it to another deity, appointing a new god of destruction,โ Goddess Sylvara informed, and the Moon Goddess nodded in agreement.With that, we left the Dark Realm, but my eyes lingered on the spot where my mother had made the ultimate sacrifice to save the universe.I found myself back in the Lunar Realm. The sky had now returned to normal, and the three red moons were nowhere to be seen.โSelena,โ the Moon Goddess said, her voice gentle yet firm. โI now entrust you with the Lunar Realm. It is yours to protect and nurture.โโBut Goddess, how will I do it alone without the High Priestess?โ I asked,

God Pyrrhos swung his hands aggressively, and the men performing the ritual were hurled through the air, crashing into the far corners of the field.The moment their chanting ceased, I felt Arena surge back into me, our bond reforging like an unbreakable chain. She howled in my mind, her fury mirroring my own.Kaelvor snarled, his hands emanating thick black smoke, ready to strike. โWhat are you all doing in my realm?โ he growled, his voice laced with venom.โI should never have trusted you, Kaelvor,โ my mother seethed, her body trembling with fury as she stepped toward me. She knelt, helping me to my feet, her warmth grounding me amidst the chaos.Kaelvor let out a mocking laugh, his crimson eyes gleaming with amusement. โAnd yet, you were fool enough to do so.โโMy mother is no fool!โ I roared, my voice ringing through the open field.She wasnโt a foolโshe was a mother willing to defy fate itself to save her daughter from prophecy.โBut you are foolish enough to believe you could co

"No!" I screamed, my voice raw with agony. The pain of being torn from Arena was unbearable, searing through me like fire, both physically and emotionally. My soul felt as if it were being ripped apart. Breathing heavily, I fell to my knees as my vision blurred."Stop this right now!" I yelled, struggling against the invisible force holding me in place. But the chanting only grew louder, their dark ritual continuing without pause.Kaelvor watched with eerie detachment, his expression almost bored. "Just a few more minutes, Selena," he said carelessly, as if my suffering was nothing more than an inconvenience. "Then youโll be free from this pain."That evil god!"You... you will regret this, Kaelvor," I snarled, my voice hoarse from screaming. Arena whimpered in my mind, her pain echoing mine.Kaelvor let out a low, amused chuckle. "Ah? And who will make me regret it?" His golden eyes gleamed with cruel delight. "You?" He shook his head, lips curling into a wicked grin. "Your world wil

God Kaelvor took me to the Dark Realm with him, and the journey itself was an experience beyond imagination. His realm-traveling ship was unlike anything I had ever seenโcrafted from gleaming obsidian and etched with silver runes that pulsed with a faint, rhythmic glow. The air inside was thick with power, a hum of energy that sent shivers down my spine.As we entered the dark realm, I braced myself for an endless void, for a world without light. But instead, we were greeted by a strange sightโthere was illumination here, a soft glow from the swirling skies above that bathed the land in hues of violet and deep red. The terrain was rich with bizarre, otherworldly flora that seemed to thrive in the strange light. It wasnโt a barren wasteland, as Iโd imagined, but a place that seemed... too alive.The people who walked the cobblestone streets looked anything but normal. They moved with mechanical precision, eyes fixed forward, faces cold and emotionless, as though bound by some unseen fo

"King Jasper," I murmured, keeping my gaze steady. "What are you going to do with the golden trident?" I asked, trying to read his expression.His face remained unreadable, but his grip on the trident tightened. "This weapon holds immense power," he said. "It can also possess whoever wields it, turning them into its slave. Keeping it in my possession would be too dangerous."I frowned. "Then what do you plan to do?""I canโt just leave it behind for another power-hungry monster to find," Jasper continued. "So Iโve decided to destroy it, rendering it useless. That way, its power will be absorbed back into the universe, never to be claimed again."Hearing his decision, I finally felt at ease. It reassured me that Jasper truly wanted peace among shifters and the entire paranormal world.Jasper placed the trident on the ground and instructed, โTake a few steps back.โ We did as he said.He then chanted something in a hushed voice before raising his staff.

I looked around, my gaze sweeping over Alpha Albert, Cassandra, and Oliver. They stood beside Damon, their expressions unreadableโbut not surprised. So Selena was right. They had been waiting for us to split up, hoping to take advantage and defeat us separately.I let out a low chuckle, my eyes locking onto Damon. โI also didnโt expect you to be hiding like a coward,โ I taunted, a smirk curling at my lips. โThe great ancient Warlock Kingโturns out heโs nothing but a weakling.โDamonโs eyes flared with fury as he slammed his golden trident against the cave floor, the impact sending a faint tremor through the ground. โShut up!โ he snarled. โIโm not a coward! I was waiting for the right moment.โโWhatever!โ I snorted, my gaze flicking to his so-called army. โYet here I am, alone, standing right in front of you in your own little domainโand you still need your pathetic lackeys to face me.โโWeโll see whoโs pathetic,โ Damon sneered, lifting his trident, ready to strike.
