Can You Believe It? My Ex-Mate Wants Me Back! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

VALERIA My heart raced as my heart pounded frantically underneath my ribcage as I watched the myriad of emotions play on Reese's face. First, shock, then anger, and eventually amusement.Asshole! Of course, he would find this situation amusing! Nothing has changed about him! He was the man who betrayed me and left me devastated five years ago! How the hell did he have the balls to touch me in such a sensual way?! But as much as I hated to admit it, my body was drawn to his. Damn it! After all these years, why would my own body betray me like this?I should be feeling nothing but sheer anger and disgust for a man like Reese! And yet...The hair on my nape stood on its end as anger brewed inside of me.Wait a minute... Did I perhaps give out something about myself? Has he caught on to the fact to the fact that I'm really his ex-wife?That's impossible! I've practiced this over and over again. There's no way I could be caught that easily.But his next words dispelled my doubts."I'm

REESEShe had a child.I find it hard to believe that an ambitious and incredibly gorgeous young woman with a sexy shape like hers has a child.Which could also imply that she had a husband...My heart sank.But she shook her head frantically with a nervous laugh."Of course not!" She squealed, waving me off. "It's probably my secretary's son. He must have forgotten them in my car after I dropped them off at home earlier.""Oh..." I drawled, relief washing over me.That meant I still had a chance to woo her, and nothing was standing in my way.A slow smile crept to my face as I nodded."I see. Have a good night and drive safe." She shot me a small smile and nodded."Thank you, and you too." She rolled up her window, started the engine, and then zoomed off.I heaved out a deep sigh and stared at her receding car, a persistent thought gnawing at me. I needed to find out who she was.Who the hell was Valentina Wilson, and why did she bear an uncanny resemblance to my ex-wife?Ever sinc

VALERIAWhat the hell was her problem?!Why was she stopping me over a single shirt?!"You dare argue with your Luna? I command you, Luna, to drop the clothes and let me have them!" Cynthia demanded, grating my nerves.Cynthia? My Luna?!I bit my bottom lip furiously. No way in hell was I going to acknowledge her as my Luna! The same position that originally belonged to me was the same position that she bought with lies and manipulation.If she thought I was simply going to do as she said and cower in shame, then she was in for a rude awakening.I didn't have time for her senseless games!I pushed back the brewing rage fueling inside of me and masked an indifference and resolute demeanor as I said firmly in a defiance tone,"I see, that's how a Luna should always go on a power trip just to prove herself as a Luna. Well, quite unfortunately, you're not my Luna, and I shall not, under any circumstance, obey you!"The crowd gasped, but I didn't care. Before she made me look like a fool,

REESEI paced the massive living room with a glass of whisky in my hand as the thoughts of Valentina holding an article of child's clothing tightly in her hand crossed my mind.Why was she buying a child's clothing? Moreover, it was a male child, which I found oddly suspicious.An image of the pair of shoes I saw in the passenger's seat of her car crossed my mind, making me further suspicious.She had mentioned it was her secretary's child, whom she had dropped off earlier.But why was she buying some clothes for the child? Was she and her secretary having a thing or...I shook my head, running a wary hand through the thick curls of my hair.Maybe I was overthinking...What if she was telling the truth? Or perhaps she was just doing her secretary a favor? But that seemed more personal than work-related.'I can't remember being obliged to explain my actions to you.' Her words rang through my mind again.I clenched my jaw.Well, it looked like I was prying, but I couldn't shake the feel

VALERIAMy heart pounded with the force of a thousand galloping horses, and the pounding spread until it throbbed every fiber of my being.Each beat of my heart sent shockwaves of heat searing through my veins, clashing with the cold grip of fear that paralyzed me. It felt as though my heart suddenly froze to a hundred degrees, a paradox of burning cold and scorching heat.His lips on mine surprisingly sent a wave of warmth inside of me, erupting into a full-blown volcano, dripping lava until every nerve ending blazed with sensation.Damn it! We were so close—so dangerously close—that his awareness pricked at my skin, causing goosebumps to race across my skin. My nipples pebbled in reaction.Fuck! Something stirred in my chest as my stomach clenched uncontrollably, swelling against my ribs, so that breathing suddenly became a struggle.Why the hell was I reacting like this toward this man?! Even my wolf didn't resist.I couldn't understand it, but when his hands touched mine, a tiny c
