Dear Ex, Your Father Is My Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

I could have sworn the moon goddess was mocking me. Because an hour earlier, my biggest worry had been finishing my chores before the ceremony. Funny how fate loves to play with the hearts of the innocent."Giselle!" Kira yanked me up from the floor. "You have to see this! The crown prince is choosing his Luna today!"Her eyes sparkled with the same warmth they had when she'd first found me crying in the garden five years ago. She'd been my protector ever since, the crown princess who treated a lowly maid like a sister."Kira, no." I tried to pull away. "You know omegas aren't allowed at royal gatherings."She rolled her eyes, "You're with me. No one will dare say anything to the crown princess of the witch realm.""But I’m an orphan and …. ""Just stay close to me!" She dragged me deeper into the crowd, pushing past other nobles."Kira, please," I whispered. "I shouldn't be here."She wasn't listening, she dragged me further, making me miss my steps , and I lost my grip on her hand.

"Princess! Wake up!"My eyes snapped open. Sunlight streamed through silk curtains, and I was lying in... a massive bed?"Princess, you'll be late for breakfast. Your father is waiting."Father? I sat up slowly, my head spinning. The last thing I remembered was Xavier's sword, the burning pain, and then... darkness.But I wasn't dead. And this wasn't the servants' quarters.I looked around the luxurious chamber, my hands trembling as I touched the silk nightgown I was wearing. A large mirror across the room showed my reflection - the same red hair, violet eyes, and porcelain skin. But instead of a maid's uniform, I was dressed like... royalty?"Princess?" I turned toward the voice and nearly fell off the bed. There, wearing a maid's uniform and looking concerned, was Kira."Are you alright, Your Highness?" She asked, bowing slightly. "You look pale."I couldn't breathe. Kira, the woman who had helped murder me , was now my maid? What kind of twisted game was this?"I'm... fine," I ma

- Giselle -I paused in shock; a light gasp would have escaped my lips if it had not gotten stuck in my throat.Is Franklin, the father of my mate in the past now my mate? Now I am sure the Moon goddess is definitely playing games with me.This cannot be happening. I held Franklin's gaze, too shaken to look around the shocked faces of the people around to the reveal of my mate bond.I wanted to be away from here, and not behold their stares. I wished I could freeze them all so I could run away. Just as I thought of that, the word escaped my lips, and everyone froze.I blinked my eyes rapidly and looked around. Did everyone really freeze? Did I...?No time to ask questions. I quickly walked away. But whatever power it was, and whoever it came from, must not have lasted long because I heard their murmurings not long after I left the gathering.I walked faster. Somebody was coming after me."Giselle," I heard the unmistakable voice of Franklin behind me. Why the hell wouldn't he let me a

- Xavier -I cannot understand why my father will act out of will where I am concerned. This is my life and I should be allowed to make a decision for myself. Princess or not, Kira was who I wanted. He had no right to dictate for me, and I told him so.He barely looked at me above his nose from his study table."Father, you are not saying anything," I said after waiting for a moment, and he still did not say anything."You are an ingrate," will be his words when he finally spoke. My mouth fell lightly."Why will you say such words to me?" I asked him, slightly annoyed."You think you are something because you are the crowned prince but you forget that I am first your father, the Alpha King. I have built up the pack to where it is today with all the power and authority we have, not you. So every respect and honour you get is because of me. But what did you do? Slap me in the face by choosing that lowly maid over the prestigious princess you are betrothed to. Have you thought for a seco

- Giselle -My mind raced for a few seconds while Father waited for me to say something."That is so considerate of you father," I stated while struggling with the choice of words in my head. "And I appreciate that you want to make things work between me and Xavier. Let's see how it goes."I couldn't make him think I feel otherwise, lest he confirm that I do not want anything to do with Xavier and ask them away. So long as Franklin is still here, I will manage Xavier."That's my girl," my father beamed happily and opened his arms for an embrace. I will have to be tactical with this.- Franklin -I tried to convince myself that I was not upset about the recent development but I couldn't get my mind off it. I wanted to know badly if it was Giselle herself who consented to this. Doesn't she want me? I am sure she felt the bond between us as much as I did. But the little pretty witch keeps running away from me.Bethroted to my son or not, I cannot let her slip out of my hands unless she r
