Semua Bab Let Me Go, Ex Husband: Bab 1 - Bab 10

HAYLEE'S POVHis words ‘barren’ in my head roll around like it’s my death sentence. Each word slices more deeply than any sword could ever. I freeze and my hand flies to my stomach where our baby—my only baby—grows, unaware of what its father is doing.“You can’t be serious,” I whisper on a shaky breath. "Three years, Aiden. Three long years.”Aiden laughs, yanking his pants on nonchalantly. “And what have those three years got me? An empty nursery, and a wife who can’t even keep her most basic promise.”"Basic duty?" The words are bitter in my mind and poison on my tongue. "Is that all I am to you? A breeding machine?""Among other things." He shrugs, his gaze cutting to Arielle who is still sitting on our bed—my bed—in nothing but the sheets around her pale, naked body.My lady in waiting smirks as the victory shines in her eyes. “Alpha Aiden deserves a Luna that can bear him heirs Luna Haylee. Someone like me.""You?" I laugh, though it rings hollow even in my ears. “The woman who t

HAYLEE’S POV.FIVE YEARS LATER.It’s been five years since my separation with Aiden and although the first few months haven’t been easy with my pregnancy and duties as Pack Luna, I pushed myself and worked hard to balance both.My hard work paid off because the moon goddess blessed me with two beautiful boys and not just that, my pack, the Ragnar Pack, was more successful than ever.I’d made sure to follow up on the Shadow Pack, and that was how I got to know of their misfortune. I sighed as I recounted all that happened in five years.The Alpha of the Shadow pack, Aiden Fenrir, hadn’t been able to keep up with his share of the monthly challenges and being the Luna of the pack that stands on top, I had no choice but to strip him of his position as alpha.Aiden has been trying over the past ten months to get a meeting with me and after thorough consideration and the elder’s contribution, I decided to grant him the opportunity to plead his case.How will he react when he sees that I’m th

HAYLEE'S POVI sense Xavier before I even see him. He sweeps into the hallway like a tidal wave, imposing and fierce. Relief washes over me as Aiden solidifies and a sound escapes from Xavier’s voice."STEP AWAY FROM HER!" “HEAAUGH!” shouts Xavier, and his voice reverberates in the enclosed space of the corridor.My heartbeat drums in my ribcage and Aiden slowly twists his body to glance at Xavier. Their tension hangs in the air, heavy enough to slice through with a knife. I can almost see their wolves glaring down the other, looking to snap at any given opportunity.“This is not your business,” Aiden mutters tensely again, his jaw set in a line.Xavier laughs and it’s a cold, hollow sound as he steps closer, eyes lit with a dangerous amber. All of Haylee worries him, he says, his voice dropping to low, menacing growl. "Now, I won't repeat myself. Step. Away."I see their auras collide, no one willing to give way. The tension is now so thick you can cut it with a knife, and I can feel

HAYLEE'S POVI rest my head against the cold glass of my office window and watch Aiden stroll across the courtyard below. He stands with his shoulders squared and walks with a purposeful, even strut among the guards who show no subtle invective. Five years hasn’t made much difference in him — still so vain, still wielding respect he doesn’t have.Aiden Fenrir—I mutter in a voice that steams up the window. The lie I told him weighs heavy on my chest. But what choice did I have? It would open a door I have held closed for five years, to admit the twins are his.I hear a soft tap on my door, and I’m jolted out of my reverie.It’s a grisly welcome, but it’s all I have right now; it’ll have to do until I can find out more information."Come in," I call, trying to compose myself.My Beta, Scarlett, and my best friend, sneaks into the room. Her eyes are sharp, she doesn’t miss anything, and she’s noticed the tension in my shoulders.“So,” she says, and takes a seat in the chair across from my

AIDEN'S POVAnother deep breath of slightly chilly air, spring melting the last of the snow, lifting off the cool ground to absorb the warmth of my being, the wolf inside me thrashing against the inside of my skin as I head home from the border inspection. The scent of Haylee—of sweet vanilla overlaying wildflowers—wafts around this field at every turn, her very presence unmistakable even though she’s missing.Five years of searching, of guilt, of wondering what happened. And now I’m here, an interloper in the life she’s made for herself without me.Guards with my every step as the pack house appears in the distance—an imposing stone building surrounded by cabins and training grounds. Their distrust is evident. I don’t blame them; I’m the outsider who ruined their Luna’s heart.My phone vibrates. A text message.‘We need to go over the alliance. See you in the east garden in half an hour. Come alone. -H’Even though I attempt to steady myself, my heart is pounding. After the tense back
