All Chapters of Claimed By My Ex's Uncle : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Carlos’s P.O.V.Irene!The last person I had never imagined to see again was there, standing in my bedroom like nothing ever happened. My chest tightened with a chaos I couldn’t describe. My wolf stirred beneath my skin, his emotions clashing with mine. But I clamped it all down. I wasn’t a man that used to be six months ago!Taking a deep breath, I stepped forward, my voice steady though my insides churned.“What are you doing here, Irene?”She smiled sweetly, like she belonged here, like this was a long awaited reunion.“As I said before, Carlos. I am here for our child. The Moon Goddess has blessed us.”Irene walked towards me, hands stretched out like she had expected to be welcomed. My wolf twitched, agitated by her response, but I didn’t move. When her arms reached to embrace me, I stepped back, catching her wrists mid-air. “Don’t act like nothing has happened, Irene!”Her smile faltered just for a second before morphing into a pout. “Carlos … I never stopped lov

Harley’s P.O.V.I almost jumped in my spot as he thundered, his face darkening in fury.“Are you seriously defending the man who broke your heart and kept his mating history a secret? Carlos is a convicted abuser, Whisker. And all you can think about is the behavior of that pitiful woman …”Derek repeated the details of the council’s verdict, clenching my heart. I tried to cover my pain with anger and snapped at him.“No, that’s not what I meant. I am not defending Carlos. It’s just my observation about Irene.”His eyes narrowed as his mouth fell open, as if I had smacked him hard across his face.“Whisker, you are dangerously close to blaming the victim! Irene is just eighteen. A pregnant she-wolf whose mate is one of the most powerful Alphas in the werewolf society.You think that makes her safe? You think power makes you kind?”I flinched at the sharpness of his tone but didn’t back down. “I am saying it didn’t add up. Victims don’t just show up smiling like that, asking

Harley’s P.O.V.That voice, silken, sweet and perfectly rehearsed, rang through the already tense room, turning everyone’s heads towards her. Irene walked in confidently, her smile as radiant as ever.Wearing a pristine Ivory dress that hugged her pregnant form like it was made for the show, she strolled into the room as she owned it. Eyes wide with innocence and confidence that felt like poison on my skin. There mere sight of her was enough to make the room feel ten degrees colder!Carlos’s grip loosened on my hand as he gawked at her, as if he wasn’t the one who invited her here. I jerked his hand away immediately, the sting of betrayal biting again even though I knew I had no right to feel it anymore. I stood up, my spine stiff with instinctive pride as my soul screamed in protest.Goddess, I wanted to run away as far as I could!Although everyone was stunned speechless, the first one to recover from this shock was Carlos. His voice was sharp and clipped. “Why are you here, Irene?

Harley’s P.O.V.I stood in the room long after Xander left, the silence around me thick and cruel. His words kept echoing in my head. “Are you happy to be Ella in his relationship?”I didn’t want to admit it, but his twisted question burrowed into my thoughts. My life was already a mess and I couldn’t think straight. So, I decided to consult a third party for a clear perspective. I was in the need of someone who wouldn’t sugarcoat the truth! Grabbing my phone, I dialed the number of the only person who had never held back. “Derek, I need your help. An honest opinion!”“Do I give you anything else?” He replied flatly, but I could hear the frown in his tone. “Is that about Carlos again, Whisker?”His accurate guess zipped my mouth. He sighed.“You must have met him and again his sweet words made you second guess your decision. After all, he is your savior and all that.”I pursed my lips, totally annoyed by this truth. It was concerning how my friend could see through m

Harley’s P.O.V.One glance at the injured Derek and I knew my answer, although I couldn’t recognize the man in front of me anymore. Carlos I loved was gone, and some hideous, cold-hearted monster had taken over him. It was like I always wrongly judged all the people close to my heart and loved them unconditionally. A lone tear rolled down my cheek, and I sighed, feeling defeated.“Fine, Alpha. You win! I will do as you say.”Carlos’s heated gaze remained fixed on my face. He raised his hand and wiped my tears with his thumb, brushing my skin gently.“That’s like my good girl, Princess. Now, I have your word. Everything will be just fine.”…I sat there on the passenger seat, my head leaning against the window, watching the city blur past like a fast-forward dream. The envelope rested in my palm, the glaring red stamp on its corner practically mocking me. Goddess, what had I done?Two hours, that was all it took to turn my entire world upside down. Two hours of blur, of fo
