บททั้งหมดของ My Ex Mate's Stepbrother Is My Second Chance Mate : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

*Amelia* "Adrian, you have to believe me, I..." My words faltered as Adrian stormed towards me, slapping me hard across the face. I stumbled, crashing to the ground, the sting of the blow still ringing in my ears. "How could you be this heartless and vicious?" His voice thundered with rage, dripping with anger and hatred as I sat there, tears streaming down my cheeks. This was the first time Adrian had raised his hand to me in our two years of marriage. And it was all because of Mara—his ex-mate. What hurt most was that he hadn’t even given me a chance to explain. Without hesitation, he slapped me and accused me. "You better pray nothing happens to her," he spat, his words like a cold knife to my heart. "If anything happens, you won’t like what I’ll do to you." He then turned his back on me, scooping Mara off the ground and leaving the room. As I sat there, the realization hit me like a punch to the gut. Adrian was still in love with Mara. No matter how much time had pass

*Five Years Later* **Amelia** The hum of New York City traffic filled the air as I drove along the bustling streets, heading to the university where I had spent the past five years pouring my heart into my studies. Today marked a monumental milestone—I was graduating as a medical doctor. It had taken relentless effort and commitment, but I had finally made it. After escaping the Moonstone Pack five years ago, I’d used my savings—hard-earned from my time as Luna—to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. This was a dream I’d once abandoned when Adrian chose me as his Luna, demanding my focus and sacrifice for the Pack. But none of it had mattered to him in the end. He cheated on me, discarded me for his ex-mate, and left me broken. Still, in that heartbreak, I found my freedom and reclaimed my dream. My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as I navigated through the congested traffic, the weight of the day sinking in. This wasn’t just any graduation—it was a turni

**Amelia** Even though I had agreed to follow Dr. Alex Darlington, who was now my mate back home because of the party he organized, deep down I knew I wasn't going to follow him; I had only accepted in order to get him off my back. After collecting my certificate, I bade goodbye to Becky, who was busy discussing with some of her friends and taking selfies with them, and with that, I started heading to the exit while praying deep down that I wouldn't encounter Dr. Alex Darlington again because all I wanted to do was to go home and get some rest and to also think about what I was going to do next, whether to stick with Dr. Alex Darlington, who was now my mate, or whether to do to him the same thing I did with Adrian, which was escaping and going to somewhere very far where he would never find me. With these thoughts running through my mind, I walked out of the school and made my way to the parking lot, but immediately I got to the parking lot, I halted in my steps as I saw the last

*Amelia*"Hey, take your filthy hands off my man," I growled angrily at her, not realizing how loud my voice was, and with that, the whole hall went mute immediately as everyone turned their attention towards me…__________________________________Seeing how everyone was looking at me like someone who had grown horns, the reality of what I had just done dawned on me.I had just announced to everyone that Dr. Alex Darlington was my man even without realizing it.Dr. Alex Darlington, on the other hand, was busy grinning ear to ear like a father who was proud of something his child had just done.Unable to withstand the gaze of the onlookers, I immediately rushed out of the hall and started heading to the exit without even looking back.With everything that had happened lately, it was already clear to me that the day wasn't going to get any better; instead, it was going to get worse and worse, and the only way to prevent something bad from happening again was by doing what I should have

As the ball was going on, Mara excused herself as she wanted to make use of the bathroom.As she was heading to the bathroom, she felt someone take her hand from behind, and before she could react, she was pulled towards one of the men's bathrooms, and immediately the door closed behind."Dave, what the hell is wrong with you? What if someone had seen you...?" Mara tried screaming at Dave but everything she wanted to say got stuck in her throat as Dave claimed her lips in a passionate kiss.At first she was hesitant, but just in a twinkle of an eye she too got lost in the kiss, and from the view of things, it was as if she was even the one dominating in the makeout as both of them were busy kissing passionately like two lovers who had been far away from each other for a very long time.After what seemed like forever, they finally disengaged from the kiss as they tried to catch their breaths."And here I was thinking that you didn't miss me at all," Dave said to Mara while catching his
