Lahat ng Kabanata ng Craved By My Ex-Mate’s Father: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Travis’s POVI looked around the room, my chest tight and heavy. This was it; I was going to do it; I was going to let everything about my ex-wife Chloe go.The pictures on the walls stared back at me. I walked to the closet, pulled it open, and just stood there, the scent hit me first. I hadn’t opened this closet in years. I grabbed a box and placed it gently on the bed. The first picture I took down was from our wedding. We were young, and smiling like we had the world. I stared at it for a long time the. placed it in the box. One by one, I took every picture and frame down. I opened the drawer and found the letters she used to leave for me on the kitchen counter amd put them all in the box. I packed her dresses amd every single thing in the room into the boxes. Athena was at the door I could perceive her scent. I turned my head and looked at the door waiting but she didn’t come in. I knew why; it was because I had yelled at her the last time she came in here. “Athena,” I said

Travis’s POVI watched Athena walk away. My heart felt tight in my chest, and I didn’t like the feeling at all. She looked excited, her eyes shining, her steps light, but all I could feel was worry . Matthew was standing beside me and didn’t say anything at first, but after a few seconds, he glanced at me and said, “You’re worried, right?”I didn’t even try to lie. I nodded. “Yeah. I’m fucking worried, Matthew.”The Annual Alpha Meeting was where all the powerful Alphas from every region gathered. It was for the elite and only the strongest were allowed to attend.Athena had no wolf or strength to shield herself from the heavy auras of the Alphas. Just standing near them could crush someone like her. I knew it would take a toll on her, physically and emotionally.He looked down at the ground, then back at Athena’s fading figure. “She’s stronger than she looks.”“I know that,” I said, running a hand through my hair. “But I’m exposing her to danger, and I hate how that feels.”Matthew

Athena’s POVI woke up slowly, my cheek resting on something warm. My eyes blinked open, and I realized I was lying on Travis’s legs. His hand was on my back, holding me gently as I stirred. The car hummed softly beneath us as it sped down the long road. We had been traveling for two days now, and it still felt like forever.I stretched a little and looked up at his face. His soft brown eyes looked down at me with a small smile.“You’re awake,” he said gently, brushing my hair away from my face.I smiled and sat up, still on his lap, and wrapped my arms around his neck. I hugged him tightly, breathing in his scent, warm and safe. Then I kissed him. He kissed me back like he hadn’t seen me in days. His hands held my waist firmly, and he pulled me closer. I could feel the beat of his heart. I could feel how much he missed me even though I had never left. We finally pulled away, both of us a little breathless.“I thought we should’ve just flown,” I said quietly, still resting my head a

Travis POVTwo vehicles were down and more cars were on our tail. I shot sporadically at the black car behind us. I didn’t even know who they were but I was sure they were after me.Beside me, Athena ducked low with her hand over her ear. She jerked every time I fired and I knew she was scared.“Stay down!” I shouted, trying to shield her with one arm while still aiming.“I’m trying!” she said, voice shaking.Her face was pale and her eyes were wide with fear. They didn’t know she was traveling with me that meant she was safe. I saw the car behind us swerve wildly and it flipped, crashing into the dirt and flipping over again.“Got one!” I said, still gripping my gun tightly. Suddenly another car hit us from behind.Athena screamed, grabbing onto the seat in front of her.“Athena! Stay in the car! They’re after me, not you!” I shouted.She nodded fast, eyes full of fear.Maurice looked at me through the rearview mirror. “Time?”“Time,” I said.We both threw open the doors and jumped

Athena’s POVI had been avoiding Travis for two whole days.Every time someone knocked, I pretended to be asleep. Every time I heard his voice I had somewhere to go to. My heart just wasn’t ready to face him. I woke up to loud noise. The sound of footsteps, voices, and the door creaking open. I sat up quickly, still half-asleep.“Wake up, ma’am,” my personal servant, said softly, pulling the curtains open. Bright sunlight poured into the room.“What’s going on?” I asked, rubbing my eyes as a cart full of gowns rolled into the room. A ridiculous number of them. Reds, golds, silvers, blues all sparkling.Then three other ladies walked in, each carrying bags and boxes. Some had shoes, some had makeup kits, and one was holding a curling iron.“What’s happening?” I asked again, now fully awake and very confused.“We’ve been instructed by the Alpha to get you ready,” one of the ladies said, bowing her head slightly.“Ready for what?” I asked, my voice rising a little. My heart was now thump
