All Chapters of Chasing His Ex-Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ximena“Father—“ I broke into tears as I knelt beside him, unable to hold back the tears that were already flooding my cheeks.“I’m so sorry father— I— I’m back—“ I whispered, wishing he’d wake up and someone could tell me what was happening. I stared at mother for an answer but she was too emotional to speak and I turned to my brothers.“He was attacked when he followed you that night— The rogues attacked him.” Kushim whispered softly and my tears intensified.It was all my fault. I was being a big fool and now Dad’s life is in danger— I’m a bad daughter, I don’t deserve them.“Argh!” I yelled as hot tears gushed out of my eyes, the more, Xena was whimpering with agony but we both knew this was all my fault.“Dad, please— it’s all my fault, I was a fool— I should never have— Why didn’t anyone tell me!” I yelled painfully.“He warned us not to tell you— He didn’t want to bother you.” This only brought more sadness to me. He was the best father in the world, even in death, he was willi

Alvaro I was deep in thought as I remembered my mate— I failed to protect her, she was dead because of my incompetence.Not only her, I’ve been a terrible Alpha for months now, I can barely protect my people and it’s high time I take a bold step, this must end.If I had been more competent then this wouldn’t have happened. My wolf Alejandro was in so much pain, for days all he did was meditate without saying a word for me.It was torture. I remembered the words of my wife, Juan must never be trained by any woman, except my mate— his chances of having a mother just reduced from 50 to 0, all because of my bad governance.Maybe the Gamma is right, I’m not fit to rule, I should step down and let him rule, that way he’d take care of the pack.“Daddy!” Juan’s loud voice snapped me out of my trance and I smiled faintly, welcoming him in my arms.“How are you? Did you have fun outside?” I asked and he nodded. “Let’s take a stroll.” He suggested and I nodded, moving everything aside as I got

XIMENA“No— You can’t be serious about this— Why should we start from the border when there are other places to protect?” Mark demanded and I noticed that Beta Dhruv couldn’t get his eyes off me.It made me very uncomfortable because I couldn’t stop trying to figure out why he was staring at me. Of course he was shocked when he saw me and he stuttered when we first spoke but it wasn’t enough of an excuse for him to keep staring at me like I was some sort of ghost.“Mark, a faulty border would result in an accessible pack. We need to settle the borders first before thinking about the inside. We place guards on every border, every damned route both secret and public that leads outside of this pack and we instruct guards to keep a record of everyone coming and going out.” I suggested and he shook his head slightly.“I don’t know— That’s not what we do—“ He pointed out, reminding me about the shadow pack and I smiled. “That’s because the pack borders are strong. They’re different from t

XimenaGetting home, I went straight into mom’s arms, breaking down immediately. “My heart is still in pain— I can’t seem to let go of him.” I cried softly and she patted my back.“With time, you will heal— Just focus on other things but him.” She advised and I nodded, sniffing and trying to stop the tears but they just kept gushing out.“It’s okay to still be in love, the bond is something we can’t describe. Don’t be too hard on yourself.” She whispered and I just kept crying, wishing my heart was immune.“I’ll be in my room.” I replied after a prolonged silence and rushed off before she could stare at me with pity. I wanted someone to comfort me, not pity me.Getting to my room, I fell to my knees weakly, my back pressed against the door as I sobbed uncontrollably, his words echoing in my head as I wished it could just go away.I’m a weakling, he rejected me because I was too weak to help the pack— So what now? If he apologizes, does that mean he wants me back? Would I foolishly put

XimenaI enjoyed the great attention I was getting from everyone, especially Emiliano who had nothing to do but stare at me.I was slowly sipping juice when an old Alpha approached me. I could tell he was an Alpha because of his aura and he sat close to me, proudly upsetting the guys who had been staring at me, of which Alpha Alvaro was among.The look on his face was priceless and it was so satisfying to watch him. “I’m Alpha Gonzalo, I’m sure you must’ve heard of me.” He introduced and whether shock was written on my face, I tried my best to conceal it.Alpha Gonzalo— The famous Alpha who was ruthlessly known for being selfish, a man who was willing to trade his whole family just for his business? The man who had allowed his sister to be killed because he didn’t want to pay any ransom to her abductors even though he had a lot more than what they demanded.A cold shiver trickled down my spine and the juice suddenly turned bland. I wanted something stronger to keep my head high and no
