All Chapters of I Left My Husband For The Rogue King: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

WINTERI learned every detail because Valtor had allowed me to join the meeting last night. Alaric was now living on the stretch of land at the edge of Nytheris, which Valtor had gifted him.And the invitation was for an informal family dinner. Harmless on the surface, something any family might do if their relationship were normal. But despite my unease, Valtor seemed certain everything would go smoothly.We were set to depart the night after tomorrow.“You’re starting to act like his mate.”The voice snapped me from my thoughts. I turned from the flower bouquet I’d been arranging. “Freya?”She stood there, lips curling into a smirk. “You’ve adapted quickly for a newcomer. Do you even feel out of place, considering you’re not one of us? My daughter felt like an outsider for months when she first became Queen.” Her eyes drifted to the bouquet. “And what’s this? Seems your Luna habits die hard. Don’t you think you should be doing something more useful?”“Valtor said I can do whatever I

CRYSTALKallias had been impossibly busy these past few weeks, rarely sparing a moment for me. So when he said we were going out for dinner tonight, I could hardly contain my excitement. He hadn’t told me where we were going, but I didn’t care, I wanted to think of it as a surprise.I slipped into my best dress and did everything I could to make myself look presentable. Still, I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that I hadn’t looked truly beautiful in a long time. This damned baby seemed to have drained the glow from me, leaving my face bloated and my body oddly thin. My complexion had also lost its warmth.Sometimes, I couldn’t help but wonder if that was why Kallias was no longer eager to fuck me.“Kallias, whose residence is this?” I whispered, glancing up at the enormous mansion before us."A friend." He answered flatly.A chill crept down my spine. I knew we were standing deep within enemy territory now. And the people around us, with their rough scarred faces and predatory eyes

CRYSTALPain. That was all I feel now. Raw pain tangled with shame that clawed its way up my chest, refusing to let me breathe. I stared at the broken woman reflected in the mirror; her hollow eyes, her trembling lips. Defeat stared back at me. Once again, I had lost to Winter.Winter. The damned name was a curse carved into my nightmares.Part of me still refused to believe that the woman standing beside Valtor tonight had truly been her. I had expected Winter to crumble once she was cast out of the Stoneclaw Pack. Yet she returned to mock me with every curve of her smile. Julian was waiting by the bathroom door when I finally emerged. His eyes flicked over my tear-streaked face with disapproval. “Wipe those tears away. You’re only making yourself look worse and embarrassing the Alpha in front of everyone.”I gave him a bitter, trembling smile. “Kallias is still smitten with that bitch. He couldn’t take his eyes off her. I swear, if he could’ve fucked her right there on the table,

WINTER“Is that Kallias? Did that bastard not only approach you, but dare lay his hands on you?”I still couldn’t bring myself to answer.Valtor gripped my hand, bringing it to his face, inhaling deeply as if he needed to reclaim what was his. The way he pressed my skin to his nose like he owned me, made my breath hitch. My scent clung to him, yet something that didn’t belong lingered beneath it. Kallias's scent tainted me after he forced himself too close, his hand gripping me before I could shove him away. I’d fought and screamed, but he’d already pulled me into his arms by the time the guards arrived and tore him off me."Please erase it from me," I whispered. "I don’t want any part of that man left on me. Clean me, replace what Kallias left with yours."A flicker of satisfaction flashed in Valtor’s eyes.He cupped my jaw and before long, his lips found mine again. I clung to him, my arms wrapping around his neck as I pulled him closer. His scent enveloped me, drowning out every tr

CRYSTAL“That rogue is already dead, Alpha. There's nothing we can do."“Dead? Fuck!” Kallias's roar echoes off the walls. “Then what about the deal he promised me? What about our cooperation?!”The chaos of papers scattering through the air, a vase shattering into pieces against the floor, greeted me as I stepped into Kallias’s study. His face was flushed crimson, nostrils flaring, his jaw so tight it looked like his teeth might break from the strain. Julian stood before him with head bowed low, too afraid to lift his gaze to the Alpha who now looked half-possessed by fury itself.“Just let him rot anyway,” I said calmly, resting a hand over my stomach.Both men’s eyes snapped toward me at once.“Get the fuck out, Crystal." But I didn’t leave. I stepped further into his wrecked study, ignoring the storm brewing in his eyes. Old me would have turned around, I would have just kept quiet like the obedient toy Kallias expected me to be. But I was done pretending to be some decorative, u
