Ethan.

I could feel the rage simmering inside of me, an angry storm I couldn’t escape. It had been building for days, maybe even weeks—this deep, gnawing frustration that Aurora had played with my emotions and pushed me into a corner. She had chosen her game, and now I was going to play by her rules. I didn’t care anymore about the little nuances or the games she liked to play. If this was what she wanted, I would indulge her, but I would do it on my own terms.

I gritted my teeth as I stood there, eyes narrowed, my mind racing through the consequences of my decisions. But then, something shifted within me, and I knew what I had to do next.

I called for Ivan.

Within moments, there she was, standing in the doorway of my study, looking like a picture of innocence. The sweet, doe-eyed girl with all the right moves. She stepped inside, her eyes shining as she smiled at me, her confidence already radiating. It was almost laughable how quickly she shifted her mood from timid to overtly flirt

  • Wanted by my ex mate    Chapter 30

    Aurora.It was already late at night. Everyone else had turned in for the night, and turned off their lights, everywhere in the pack house was silent. But sleep had long since fled from me.I couldn’t stop thinking about it, the gossips behind my back, the way people stared at me like I was something strange. Something… dangerous. The rumors wouldn’t stop. Cursed by the Moon Goddess. The words slithered through the corridors like smoke. I had to know the truth.I pulled on a thick cloak, the hood casting shadows over my face. I didn’t bother with shoes. The soft thud of my bare feet was quieter. The guards on the eastern gate changed shifts at midnight. I knew that because I’d watched them before. Timing was everything.I slipped past the sleeping palace, my heart thudding louder than it should have in my chest. Every creak of the wooden halls, every rustle of the trees outside felt like a warning. But I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. Not when the question clawed at me like this.The pries

    Aurora.I barely had the strength to sit up when the door to my room clicked shut behind Ethan, the Alpha. His retreating footsteps echoed down the hall, leaving a hollow silencebehind. The sharp, gnawing pain in my stomach hadn’t eased—if anything, it was worse than before. I pressed my hand against my abdomen, the dull ache twisting into a fiery burn, making me gasp softly.My mind raced, fingers trembling as I reached for the bell beside my bed and rang for a maid. Almost immediately, a soft knock and the familiar face of Miri, the head maid, appeared in the doorway. Her eyes were filled with so much worry. Honestly, she's the only maid I could trust right now.“Miri, please,” I croaked, trying to keep my voice steady, “I feel terrible. This felt like a poison I've been taking for a while now.”She stepped inside, carefully closing the door behind her. “Miss Aurora, are you feeling poisoned? You don’t think someone is trying to harm you?” Her voice was hushed.I nodded weakly, swal

    Ethan.The knock on my office door was hesitant, I didn’t bother looking up from the paperwork scattered across my desk. “Come in,” I said, keeping my voice even.Beta Marcus stepped in, his presence as solid and dependable as always, but I could tell something was off the second I looked at him. He stood stiffly, eyes flicking once toward the windows, then back to me.“Spit it out,” I said, dropping my pen and sitting back. “You’ve got that ‘I’d rather be anywhere but here’ look.”He exhaled sharply. “It’s about Aurora.”My pulse skipped.“What about her?” I kept my voice calm, but the sound of her name always scraped at something raw inside me.“She came to me this morning,” Marcus said, crossing the room. He folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the edge of my desk, his usual posture when he had something I wouldn’t like. “She asked if her curse could be lifted.”I stared at him, words catching behind clenched teeth.“Curse,” I repeated slowly.“Yes,” Marcus said, wat

    Aurora.When I opened my eyes that morning, the first thing I did was reach for my phone, hoping to scroll through something mundane, memes, baby pictures, maybe a random cooking video.Instead, I was met with a storm.Dozens of notifications blinked on the screen like warning lights. Twitter. Instagram. WhatsApp. Even obscure blogs I didn’t know existed had my name splattered across their headlines."The Cursed wolf: Aurora in Shadow?""Evidence Suggests Aurora's Powers Are Not From the Moon Goddess!""Leaked Photos Show Evidence of a Curse—Is the Pack at Risk?"I sat up in bed so fast I got dizzy. My thumb scrolled furiously, tapping through article after article, my heart pounding louder with every new headline. My face stared back at me, pale, wide-eyed, captured mid-expression at the last ceremony. Someone had even edited dark shadows under my eyes, making me look like some possessed doll.My breathing quickened. “No… no no no,” I whispered, gripping the sheets. “This isn’t real.

    Aurora.I stared at my phone again.The screen was still blank. No new messages. No calls. Nothing.With a heavy sigh, I tapped Kaiser’s name and hit call again. One ring. Two. Five. Straight to voicemail.“For the hundredth time,” I muttered under my breath, lying back down on the bed with a groan. I should’ve just thrown the phone across the room already. At this point, the rejection stung more than I wanted to admit.Why was he this angry?I replayed the whole thing in my head. Over and over again. Kaiser barging into my room last night, his eyes practically glowing with rage when he saw Ama tucked into my bed, asleep. The moment I told him she was staying at the palace now, his expression changed, like something inside him snapped. He hadn’t even given me a chance to explain. Just turned and stormed out, the door slamming so hard behind him the walls shook.“She's my daughter,” I whispered to the empty room. “And she’s Ethan's too. Why is that so hard to understand?”I sat up slow

    Aurora."Ama, please just sit still for a second.""But Mommy, I still don't get it!" Ama bounced on the bed, her tiny legs swinging off the edge as she hugged her plush wolf to her chest. Her dark curls were wild around her face, cheeks flushed from excitement or maybe curiosity. “Who is Alpha Ethan really?”I sighed, combing through her hair with my fingers, gently detangling the ends as she wiggled beneath me. Her voice carried so much energy it practically buzzed in the air.I hesitated. The words formed in my throat, thick and heavy like honey refusing to pour. But this talk was long overdue.“He’s your father, Ama,” I said finally, quietly.She twisted around so fast I nearly dropped the brush. “Wait what?! Like… my daddy?” Her eyes widened like twin moons.I nodded slowly, waiting for the storm to hit. “Yes. Alpha Ethan is your biological father.”Ama stared at me, blinking. Her bottom lip trembled for a second, then stilled. “But… why didn’t you tell me before?” Her voice wave
