All Chapters of Claimed By My Ex's Uncle : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Carlos’s P.O.V.“When did I lie to you, Princess?” I asked, genuinely confused.Her words took me by surprise, as sharp as a blade. I had just faced down the council, laid bare the truth for everyone to see, and cleared my name. Yet here she was, talking to me like I’d personally twisted the knife in her back.Harley didn’t even look at me. “Oh, yeah. You didn’t lie, Alpha. I am an idiot.”Her sarcastic tone slid down a faint prickle down my spine. I shifted my weight, trying to read behind her words. But her eyes stayed on Spike as if he were more important than me.“What’s wrong, Princess? Why are you angry?” I raised my query, a touch of urgency creeping into my tone.She balled her fists so tightly I could see the tension in her knuckles. Then she snapped her gaze at me.“Really?” I should tell you what’s wrong after you did so much?” Her voice cracked with the sheer force of anger boiling inside her.I straightened instinctively, my sixth sense telling me this was a fight I didn’

Harley’s P.O.V. What? Mark me? Although a bond between two werewolves or any other supernatural creatures was completed by a mating mark, it never crossed my mind that I would get one. It wasn’t that I had never yearned for one, but Xander’s continuous delays dismissed that hope long ago. So, when Carlos mentioned it, I found it hard to believe it. A thousand volts of current ran through my body as he claimed my lips again, taking charge aggressively. That kiss was hot, messy, breathless, unlike anything we had shared before. He bit a corner of my lips as I tried to taste him first, sucking and nibbling relentlessly. Soon, I melted into the novelty of his lips, following his lead. His warm hands traced my curve as he moved his lips sensually, slipping his tongue in my mouth, making me moan. A string in my heart snapped as our tongues danced in harmony, and I lost myself in the sensations of the deep kiss. My grip on the sheets tightened as Carlos trailed his lips down my neck, co

Harley’s P.O.V.Carlos’s playful tone skipped my heartbeat, but I folded my arms, pretending that his smug, half-naked self didn’t faze me.“Don’t get too comfortable, Alpha. I am still processing the fact that I woke up spooning a giant wolf.”His eyes softened, though the corner of his mouth was still curved.“Well, you have to get used to spooning my wolf. He loves to be in your arms just like me.”He purred softly, pulling me closer to his chest. Carlos’s relaxed morning look made me give up the false pretense of being mad. I sighed.“You could have told me before, Carlos. I love to see you shift.”That seemed to catch him off guard.“What?”He raised his brow. “Wouldn’t it make you run, Princess? Like I know how horrifying it would be to watch a wolf undergoing a shift.”Even if it was ugly or horrible, every part of Carlos was mine. So, I gave him a small smile and replied.“I wish to be a part of your world, Carlos. I think I should know everything about you. Good or bad, it

Harley’s P.O.V.Such a jerk!I blinked at him slowly, letting his arrogance hang in the air like a bad smell. Then I laughed, sharp enough to vanish his smile.“Xander,” I said, my tone sugar-coated with venom, “the day I need your last name to survive in a boardroom is the day I hand in my brain along with my resignation. And trust me, that day will never come.”I stood, the scrape of my chair deliberate, closing the distance between us until I was close enough for him to feel the quiet threat in my voice.“Here’s some free advice for you, Xander. Stop living in the past when you think I love you enough to take your scrapes. And for my surname…”I added, smiling coldly. “The only thing that matters is my shares. So, Harley Cooper is untouchable in Ledger’s business.”Xander tried to hold my gaze, but I saw the clear tick of frustration and defeat in it, washing a wave of mean satisfaction over me. Thanking Luna Samantha in my heart, I said, pointing towards the door.“Now, run along

Harley’s P.O.V.The sound of low rumbling growls tugged me out of sleep. It felt like someone near me was really, really pissed off. I blinked, rubbing my eyes, trying to peel away the grogginess clouding my head.The voices were muffled at first, like echoes in a dream, but one of them cut through crystal clear.“I won’t let you …”Shoot!Even half asleep, I didn’t need anyone to tell me that it was Carlos, probably scolding a servant nearby. My heart stuttered as I shot upright from the worktable, cursing myself.Oh, my goddess!It was supposed to be our first dinner as husband and wife, and here I was, slumped over papers like a college intern. He must be so disappointed!Panic prickled along my skin as I straightened my wrinkled shirt and smoothed down my hair, rushing out of the room. I called softly.“Carlos? Are you home?”I found Carlos standing in the hallway, his chest rising and falling like he had run a marathon, sweat dampening his hair and temple. I watched him dragging
