All Chapters of Claimed By My Ex's Uncle : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Harley’s P.O.V.Xander’s sudden arrival at the door scared the hell out of me. I panicked and whispered sharply.“Why did you call him here?”I tried to punch Carlos’s rock-hard muscles to show my anger, but it did more damage to my hand. “Why do you have to invite him to ruin it?”“I did what?” Carlos raised his brow, murmuring in confusion. “Why would I call Xander at this moment?”Then it struck him, the agreement I foolishly mentioned at the wrong time. Carlos leaned in, not to kiss, but to whisper against my ear, his voice velvet and sharp with amusement.“Thanks for reminding me, princess. As the deal’s off, we should let your ex inside. I am sure we can find a rope strong enough for a Ledger Alpha.”Holy crap!Mostly, people use their tongue to stay out of trouble, but mine was bound to push me in one all the time. I couldn’t keep my mouth shut and turned Carlos into another frequency, as he smirked mischievously.“Is rope enough, or we should arrange for silver cuffs? After al

Harley’s P.O.V. The sting of Carlos’s departure clung to my heart as I could barely breathe, confronting my ex, who was acting all noble after destroying my life. “You broke our vows, slept with my best friend while you smiled at me across the breakfast table. Lied to my face for months. And when you were caught, you didn’t apologize, Xander. You blamed me for not being Luna material, as if I forced you to marry me!” Murmurs erupted in the room as some of them finally recognized Alpha Xander’s ex-wife, the one he never introduced in big events. I paid no heed to the piercing gazes and continued, my voice trembling but strong. “I was loyal to you, Xander. I stood beside you, supported your ambitions, served your pack and family selflessly for three years. And all I got was betrayal, a slap of being a maid for your convenience. You talk of noble heritage ...” My gaze swept across the baffled faces of respectable Alphas with their wives, witnessing the live show. I pointed at them f

Harley’s P.O.V.Morning light crept into the room in soft and golden streaks, casting a gentle glow over the space that felt too quiet, like the time had been paused for us. Carlos was still asleep, his head resting on my lap. One arm draped loosely around my waist like even in his dreams, he didn’t want me to go!His dark lashes laid against his cheeks, and for the first time, I was able to see him without the weight of power shadowing his features. The great Alpha Carlos Ledger looked like a normal boy right now. A vulnerable boy who had been carrying too much for too long. I sighed and let my fingers wander through his silky blonde hair, combing them back gently, but carefully, not to wake him up. Every time my nails grazed his scalp, his lips parted slightly in contentment. Goddess, he was so handsome!I didn’t want to move and end this ever, but my bladder had other plans. It urged me to get up quick with the threats of bursting at any moment. And then the clock struck seven,

Harley’s P.O.V.Carlos’s voice turned glacial, laced with bitterness that made my stomach twist. “Oh, right? Harley is in a more dangerous place than a silver prison. Cool!So, what can you do about it, wolf?”The threat evident in his tone rang ominous bells in my head, making me concerned about an upcoming argument. I spoke up desperately.“Hey, give it back to me. I’ll talk to him.”But Carlos ignored my plea as if it were nothing, sneering. “You don’t get to talk about me when you are just a detective from the police department. Good luck hearing from her again!”He disconnected the call with a scowl. I could hear Derek’s yelling right before he cut the line and opened the contact’s screen. My eyes widened with disbelief.“Alpha, what are you doing? Please give me my phone.”“Nope!” Carlos said flatly, not looking at me. “How dare he shout at you? I am blocking his number.”What?I got up and reached for my phone, forgetting my hunger. “Please try to understand, Alpha. Derek was

Harley’s P.O.V.The familiarity of that tone twisted my guts, alarming me. I peered around Derek just enough to see my shameless ex strolling in. Yes! Xander was here!Dressed as the picture of charm, he looked like a model in his designer shirt unbuttoned at the collar. The sly grin toying on his lips nauseated me to the core. His presence always came with the smell of expensive cologne and manipulation, refreshing my wounds. Xander appeared relaxed, too relaxed for my comfort, speaking casually. “Let’s not make a scene, hmm?”He added, his eyes gleaming as they flicked between me and Derek. “This is Moon Bar, not a boxing ring. I am also a customer here, just like you.”However, Derek didn’t move. His claws were still extended, his body still tensed. I could feel the shift in the air, as if the moment was teetering on the edge of something violent, something irreversible. And Xander knew it. Worse, he enjoyed Derek’s helplessness, as he was the Alpha of a pack.Before he could pr
