บททั้งหมดของ Dear Ex, Your Father Is My Mate: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

- Franklin -I stayed at Giselle's bedside all through the night without blinking an eyelid in sleep, worried about her. At dawn, my men came to see me."Alpha, we did not find anything," they told me and I frowned deeply."How can that be?" I said. "Somebody definitely came into the palace and to my wife's room at night. Her window was left open. Even my sister was attacked. You can't tell me there was no one. My wife's sustained an injury and Cleo as well.""That's true Alpha, but we have searched everywhere. The guards on duty guarding the palace and the borders are always vigilant and I make sure of that. Yet, we can't find anyone.""I am not pleased with this," I told them. "We'd have to be more careful. Increase the number of soldiers and make sure they are well trained."I dismissed them and looked at Giselle sleeping peacefully on the bed. My soldiers were the best trained amongst many packs but I decided I might not have to fully trust them with the safety of my lovely wife a

- Giselle -I rested my head on Franklin's chest and he held me close."I'm worried," I said quietly."Don't be," he replied. "Nothing's going to happen to you. I am going to protect you with my life.""I was just in my room and I don't know how whoever it was appeared there. I don't even know how I was able to survive it.""Look at me," he adjusted and lifted my chin to his face. "Do you trust me?""I do," I replied sincerely."Then believe when I tell you, I will have to be down before anything happens to you. I love you.""I love you too," I said as he planted a soft kiss on my lips. I rested back on his chest and we remained in silence for a couple of minutes before he spoke again."Your father sent words that he'd be coming," he told me and I looked at him eagerly."Really?" I asked and he nodded."Yeah.""When?""This weekend, most probably. He asked about your well-being, and of course, I told him about what happened lately. He's a bit concerned.""You shouldn't have told him a

- Kira -I stood in Cleopatra's room as I pondered what exactly to tell her when I faced her. But there was no turning point because this was eating me up and I had to set it right.I knocked on the door and there was no response so I had to knock again."Come in," she answered from inside. "The door is not locked."I walked in and found her making notes and even though I did not know what they were, I could tell she was making a serious plan on it with the concentration on her face."This you," she said dryly without looking at me. These are the kinds of things that make me wonder what she thinks of me. I have the gnawing feeling that after all this is done with, she might not want me to remain with her son after all if she does not think highly of me."Yes ma'am," I replied with a slight bow. "I wanted to talk to you about..."I paused when she stopped what she was doing to glare at me, wondering what I did wrong to deserve that look."I told you to call me by name," she said. "It's

- Kira -My mother arrived early one morning and there was no special welcoming for her. Xavier had gone out despite knowing she was on her way so I was the only one around to bring her in.I rushed her to my room immediately so we'd have a small chat before others came around. She looked prettier and younger than the last time I remembered."Is this the room you live in?" She asked me with her scrunched up in disgust."Uh...for now," I replied uncertainly."Wait, I thought you told me you were getting married to the Alpha's son?" She asked again."Yes, I did," I affirmed."So what now? He's not getting married to you anymore?" She shook her head questioningly."He is..." I sighed. "Mum, give me a while."I put her bags away and gave her a seat."There's a lot of things going on here," I started narrating my ordeal. "You know, Xavier was supposed to get married to Giselle which did not happen because I was carrying his child and somehow, she found out. But then, things took another tu

- Cleopatra -I was going to order a dinner for Christine, Kira's mother when I saw that the maids were already preparing a banquet."What's going on here?" I asked someone."The Alpha ordered us to, my lady," One bowed and said. "The Alpha is expecting a visitor.""Oh, okay," I nodded even though I had no idea who the visitor was whatsoever, and Franklin did not mention a word of it to me.I went to him to ask."I see you are throwing a banquet," I said, observing that he was preparing for it as well."Oh yes, Cleo. I was going to tell you about it but you always beat me. Giselle's father is coming in today," he said and I forced a smile."Wow, that's great, and what a coincidence, too, because Kira's mother is here as well."He stopped what he was doing briefly to look at me."Who's that?" He asked and I chuckled."It's so amazing how you don't know your in-law. Kira is Xavier's fiancé and her mother is here.""Oh," he mouthed."Is that all you have to say?""What do you want me to
