Semua Bab Claimed by my Ex-husband's friend : Bab 41 - Bab 50

Third Person’s PerspectiveThe news spread fast. By morning, almost everyone in the pack already knew.The Luna slapped the Alpha at the club.It was the first thing people whispered about when they woke up. The baker told his wife before the bread was even out of the oven. Mothers told their daughters as they fetched water. Warriors whispered about it as they sharpened their weapons. It was on everyone’s lips.The story moved from house to house, from mouth to mouth. Some added more details that never happened, some removed parts, but the core truth remained the same. Flora had slapped Leo in public, right in front of strangers and their own pack.Some people laughed about it. Some gasped in shock. Some shook their heads in disbelief. But none of them ignored it.Valen sat in his office, a glass of drink in his hand. The morning light came through the tall window, making the liquid in his glass shine a dark amber. He swirled it slowly, calm, while his mind was far from calm. A slow s

FloraKiran sat cross-legged on the floor, her eyes fixed on me like she was studying every single move I made. She had been quiet for a while, and that in itself told me something was coming. When Kiran stayed quiet too long, it meant she was thinking, and when she was thinking, she usually ended up saying something I didn’t want to hear.“Flora,” she finally said, voice calm but serious, “this plan of yours… I need to ask you again, are you sure about it?”I sighed. Not again. Why did everyone keep asking me if I was sure? Did I look confused? Did I look like someone who didn’t know what she wanted?“Yes, I’m sure,” I answered quickly, maybe too quickly.Kiran raised her eyebrows. “I’ll support you in anything, you know that. But still, I need you to be careful. I’m not saying don’t do it. I’m saying don’t let it destroy you in the end.”I stared at her, feeling a mix of irritation and guilt. She was right, of course. Kiran always had a way of saying things in a way that made me fee

Third Person’s Perspective Valen paced the room like a man on fire. His eyes were dark, his fists tight. The news from last night’s battle still rang in his head,his army, his strong and fearless men, had been slaughtered as if Leo had been waiting for them. It was no mistake, Valen thought. It was a trap. A plan. A well-arranged one. He slammed his hand against the table, the wood shaking. “Flora,” he muttered under his breath. His jaw tightened. She knew something. She must have. Otherwise, how could Leo’s army be ready, already waiting? Someone told them. Someone played me. His mind kept circling back to her. Flora. The woman he thought he could use, the woman who he thought hated Leo. She had given him words, fire, and encouragement. She had said she wanted to live freely, that Leo didn’t own her. But now? Now Valen wondered if she was nothing but another mask. He stormed down the hall, his guards stepping aside quickly. When he reached the foot of the pack’s border ,

FloraI didn’t want to see him.I didn’t want to hear him.But he came anyway.“Flora,” Leo’s voice filled the room as he stepped inside.I froze where I stood. My back was to him, but I could feel his presence. I hated that my heart still reacted every time he came near.“I came to talk,” he said.I didn’t turn around. “There’s nothing to talk about.”Inside my head, my thoughts screamed. Why now? Why after everything? Why did he hurt me like that and then think a few words would fix it?He sighed. “I know I hurt you. I know you don’t want to listen, but please… just give me a chance to explain.”I finally turned, my arms crossed tight against my chest. “Explain what? That you doubted me? That you believed others over me? That you treated me like I was some liar?”His eyes dropped. For once, the Alpha looked small. “Yes. All of that. I was wrong.”I almost laughed, but it came out bitter. “You think one word fixes everything? ‘Sorry’? That’s what you think?”He shook his head quickly

Flora’s PerspectiveKiran was sitting beside me, her long hair tied back, her sharp eyes studying me as if she could see through my skin. I hated when she stared at me like that. It made me feel too exposed.I kept twisting my fingers together. My thoughts were a mess, tumbling over and over inside my head. Finally, I let the words slip out. “I don’t even know how to feel anymore, Kiran. I think… I’ve already betrayed Leo.”She didn’t even look surprised. She just raised an eyebrow. “Because of Valen?”I nodded slowly. “Yes. Because of him. I worked with him. I went behind Leo’s back. I shouldn’t have done it. What kind of person does that make me?”Kiran leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms. “It makes you a person who was hurt, Flora. Nothing more. You didn’t betray him because you wanted Valen. You did it because you were broken. Don’t pretend otherwise.”Her words stung because they were true. I bit down on my lip. “But does that excuse me? No. It doesn’t. I was weak. I saw
