All Chapters of Dear Ex Mate, Look At Me Now, I Now Belong To Your Alpha : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Raina’s point of viewI know why Luke came—it was just another attempt to manipulate me, to twist my pain and force forgiveness out of me by using my father’s so-called life as bait.But I remember that day. The day etched into my soul. The day I swore I would never forget.His car was burned beyond recognition, flames devouring everything until nothing remained. We never found his body, but we buried the ashes of what once was.Luke is a liar. That much I know. He’s only searching for a way back into my heart, a place that no longer has room for him.And yet… I will see what evidence he thinks he has.He unlocked his phone, played a video clip, and shoved it into my hands.On the screen, a skinny man sat tied to a chair, his face hidden beneath a covering.“Raina, that’s your father,” Luke said.My stomach twisted with fury. Did he think I was a fool like Jane?A man with his face covered—that was who he dared to call my father?Even without seeing his face, I know my father’s body,

Narrator's point of view That was the most reckless, most insane thing Raina had ever done in her life, yet a part of her clung to the fragile relief that it worked.Dorian had changed his mind. He wasn’t sending them to the Silver Mile. That should have been enough. That should have been all that mattered.But it wasn’t.Because no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t silence the storm of thoughts clawing at her chest. The aftermath lingered like a shadow she couldn’t outrun.What was he thinking now?Did he believe she had feelings for him? That she was shamelessly throwing herself at him?The idea cut through her, sharp and humiliating, until regret began to settle in her bones. She shouldn’t have done it. She shouldn’t have forced that kiss. There had to have been another way to save them—any other way.Because whether she wanted to admit it or not, she had stolen something from him. A moment that wasn’t hers to take.The guards scrambled to their feet, retreating in fear that

Narrator's point of view Jane sat on the sofa, her foot tapping furiously against the floor, rage simmering beneath her skin. Every tick of the clock only fed her fury until the sharp blare of a car horn outside made her freeze. She didn’t need anyone to tell her. She knew. Luke was home.She rose slowly, smoothing her dress with trembling hands, forcing her face into calmness, as if she hadn’t already seen everything with her own eyes. She waited, her heart pounding, her anger caged but rattling the bars.Moments later, Luke stepped into the living room. His face was battered, bruised, his skin marked with the unmistakable signs of fists landing hard and fast. Jane’s lips curled slightly, though her voice stayed cold.“What happened to you?” she asked, though she already knew.He staggered forward, lowering himself onto the sofa with a pained groan. “Can you at least hold me first,” he muttered bitterly, “before asking what happened?”“And is it so wrong to want to know first?” she

Chapter 78Raina's point of view After beating the hell out of Luke, I headed back to the palace, strangely satisfied.Satisfied because it felt like I had finally thrown away some of the anger and anxieties that had been eating me alive.How dare Luke even try to hug me?Did he really think my heart still beats for him?After all the pain he dragged me through, he believes I’ll just forgive and pretend nothing ever happened? He’s delusional....The moment I stepped into the palace, one of the maids rushed to me.“My lady, His Majesty hasn’t come out since he went into his chamber hours ago.”What? Since our conversation earlier, he hasn’t stepped out once?Why? What could he be thinking?“Alright. I’ll go to him now,” I said and hurried upstairs to his chamber.I stood at the doorway and knocked, but there was no answer.With a deep breath, I tried the doorknob, it wasn’t locked.The room was cloaked in darkness. I switched on the light and froze.Alpha Dorian was sitting at the ed

Raina's point of view I shut the door behind me and leaned against it, my chest heaving as if I had just run a race. My heart wouldn’t calm—pounding louder than the silence that now surrounded me.Dorian… had just told me he loved me.The words replayed in my head, crashing into me like waves I couldn’t escape. Did he really mean it? Was this the hidden reason behind that strange contract marriage… or just another cruel game he was playing with me?The Alpha loving me? That was the last thing I ever expected. It felt impossible, yet the way he’d said it, so steady, so piercing, left me trembling with doubt and hope tangled together.But then… he mentioned the ceremony, and something that happened after his graduation. His voice had shifted, like those words carried a weight he wasn’t ready to share. Why hadn’t he explained? What was he holding back from me?My hand brushed the doorknob again, torn between rushing back in to demand answers and staying here, clutching the fragments of
