All Chapters of The Alpha's Ex-Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

*Avery*Eden stood before me, trembling with fear as she murmured, “I’m sorry, Luna. I failed to perform the task you assigned to me.” Her voice quavered, and I could see the guilt etched on her face. My anger boiled over. The first part of my plan had failed spectacularly, and I hadn't anticipated Zander intervening to save his ex-mate. This only fueled my thirst for revenge, making me more determined than ever.“Don’t worry,” I said, my voice cold and unyielding. “But remember, this should never happen again. I want that little whore to suffer before she dies in misery. I’ll make sure she’s ensnared in a crime so grave that the Alpha King himself will be forced to execute her. Only then will I find peace.” My eyes narrowed as I imagined the cruel end I planned for Selena. She dared to steal my love and would pay dearly for her audacity.“Of course, Luna,” Eden said, her tone dripping with flattery. “You are invincible and the most clever. No one can outwit you. I am always at your s

*Selena* "Selena, more wine, please," Avery ordered in a voice too sweet to be genuine, the look of victory unmistakable on her face.I quickly took the bottle from the counter behind me and promptly moved toward the table.Strictly keeping my eyes only on the glasses, I poured wine when their whispering caught my attention. Though I didn't want to peek, I could see them from the corner of my eyes as they were sitting precisely before me.Avery leaned closer to Zander's chest, whispering something in his ears. Zander smirked, looking at her.Avery's eyes were fixed on Zander's lips as he told her about his trip. She shifted closer promptly, their lips an inch apart. My heartbeat shot up.I was so nervous... and scared that I would make some mistakes, and my hand trembled as the wine overflowed the glass.Shit. I tried to stop liquid from spilling out of it, and my clumsy hand accidentally hit the glass, and it fell, dripping the red liquor on Avery's dress and her thighs.Oh, no!Star

*Selena*The next morning, I woke up early and made my way to the kitchen, only to find that a meeting had already been called by the matron, Eden. I glanced around and noticed the omegas had gathered before their schedule, their faces displaying a mix of anticipation and trepidation. I didn't know what was going on as I was away from the pack house yesterday evening and night. I spotted Lola and beckoned her to come over. Lola glanced at Eden before drifting toward me. "What's happening?" I whispered in my clipped tone while keeping my gaze on Eden. Lola sighed, her face reflecting a mixture of frustration and weariness. "The matron called us all in. The Alpha King’s sister and their mother are returning since his sister has just graduated. And I heard there's going to be another prestigious guest arriving this evening. The matron warned us last night that we must prepare for a grand royal feast and ensure the entire pack house is spotless and welcoming. She made it clear that the

*Selena*Sitting in my dimly lit room, I could feel the anticipation building as I opened my laptop. The anonymous client of mine hadn't contacted me in two days. The screen flickered to life, and within seconds, a text message appeared from the anonymous client. My heart glinted with hope as I read the words:* Help is there. Get back into action.*I leaned back in my chair, absorbing the gravity of those few words. Tonight was the night, the moment when I had to prove my worth by breaking into the world's most secure system. It was a challenge that only a genius hacker like myself could undertake. With a sense of determination burning in my chest, I knew I had to seize this opportunity.Time seemed to slow down as I glanced at the clock on my desk. I could feel the nervousness trying to rise in my heart again, but I pushed it down with the realization that I had help in the pack house who would handle the cruel Alpha King from reaching me. Midnight approached the critical hour when

*Zander*"Mother, Selena is here for personal reasons, and Avery can explain it to you better, as Selena is working under her," I dismissed it furiously."But it is not a wise choice to keep her in this pack, knowing everything about her traitor family," my mother warned, her concern evident."Selena has been cleared of any involvement in her family's crimes," I replied earnestly, withholding the whole truth of her actions.I knew what she had done in the past, and I ignored it because it was not a big crime to help her family financially. She was secretly sending money to her father's pack, though they were involved in many criminal activities. But it was against the law of my pack. When I found out, I burned all evidence of her wrongdoing, not wanting her to be disgraced by her own people as she was their Luna. I did it for both my people and her."We didn't find any evidence linking her to the crimes. It would be unjust to act without proof," I described."Why are you defending her?
