All Chapters of Claimed by my Ex-husband's friend : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

LeoLucas was talking, but I wasn’t really hearing him. Something felt… wrong.We were sitting in the packhouse office, going through patrol reports and border checks. Same routine. Same talk.But I wasn’t okay.My skin felt hot. My heart beat faster than usual. I tried to sit still, but I couldn’t. I shifted in my chair and loosened the top button of my shirt.“Are you okay?” Lucas asked, raising an eyebrow.I nodded quickly. “Yeah. Just… tired.”But that was a lie.Something inside me was waking up. A pull. A tug deep in my chest. My wolf was pacing. Clawing.I stood up. “I need air.”Lucas blinked. “What? Where are you going?”I didn’t answer. I just walked out.I didn’t know where I was going, but my feet did. My body did.I got into my car. Hands on the wheel. No plan. Just a direction.Before I knew it, I was speeding down the road, passing the lights of the town, moving fast, faster—until I stopped in front of the club.The place I told myself she had no reason to be in.But th

FloraIt had been two weeks since it happened.Since Leo cut off that man’s arm in the club.Two whole weeks, and I still felt shaky every time I remembered it.People talked. A lot.Some said it was my fault. That I led the man on.Some said Leo had gone mad.Some stayed quiet but gave me strange looks when I passed by.I didn’t blame them. If I wasn’t me, I’d think something was wrong with me too.I stayed in my room most days. Kiran tried to cheer me up, but nothing really worked. I couldn’t sleep well. I couldn’t eat much. I felt trapped again.Just when I thought I was getting stronger, everything fell apart.And yet… a part of me didn’t feel angry at Leo.I was confused.I was scared of what he did, but I remembered the way he looked at me. Like he was in pain. Like he couldn’t help it.Like he would do it again just to keep me safe.I didn’t know what to do with that.So I did nothing.Until tonight.I sat on the edge of my bed, holding a cup of warm tea. My hands were shaking,

FloraIt was late afternoon when I walked to Leo’s office. My heart was heavy. The leaves rustled beneath my feet. I had something hard to say.I knocked once. No reply. I knocked again.His voice, soft and steady: “Come in.”Inside, he sat behind his desk, reading reports. His face was calm, but something in his eyes shifted when he saw me. His pen paused on the paper. His whole body seemed to tense a little.I closed the door and walked slowly to him, each step heavy like my stomach.“Leo,” I said, voice small, very soft. “I… I don’t think I want to continue with our agreement.”He looked up, concern in his eyes. His eyebrows raised, as if surprised. “Why?”I sat on the chair opposite him and looked down at my hands. My fingers fiddled with the edge of my dress. I felt small. “I feel like you… you’ve taken it too seriously. It feels real now.”He frowned gently, eyes searching. “What do you mean?” His voice was calm but a shadow of fear lay under it.“You act so… possessive. You’re

ValenI stared at the broken gate.Again.It was the fifth time.Another attack.Another silent warning.I took slow steps toward it, my boots crunching softly on the scattered gravel. The sharp smell of metal and burnt wood hung in the air.I crouched down and picked up a sharp blade that had been left behind. My fingers closed around the cold handle. It was strange, almost new, but what made my chest tighten was the mark scratched into the metal.It had my pack’s symbol,scratched in upside down.A clear sign of mockery. A sign that this wasn’t random. That whoever had done this knew who we were.They knew me.I clenched my jaw. My teeth pressed together hard as I stood up again.This wasn’t just an enemy trying to fight.No.This was personal.“Alpha,” my Beta, Hugo, said as he walked toward me. His voice was low, cautious.He stopped beside me and looked at the gate too.“They hit the south border this time,” he said. “Same method. Silent entry. No scent. No trace. Just like before

FloraI was in my room when I heard footsteps in the hallway. At first, I thought it was just one of the maids Kiran had requested, but then I heard Kiran’s voice. She was talking on the phone in a low tone.I moved closer to the door and listened.“No… it’s worse than that,” Kiran was saying. “People are leaving his territory… yes, I saw it myself. They don’t want to stay there anymore. The video was from a very reliable source that you don’t need to know about .”My eyes narrowed. His territory? She must be talking about Valen.Kiran kept speaking, her voice still hushed. “He tried to speak to them, but they insulted him. They said they needed to go somewhere safe. He… lost control. Threw things. Even yelled at Bailey.”I frowned. Bailey? That’s new. He usually treats her well.Kiran stopped talking for a few seconds, as if she was listening to the person on the other end. Then she said, “No, I don’t think Bailey can handle it. She looked close to tears… and he told her she’s usele
