All Chapters of MY EX BETRAYED ME, SO I SEDUCED HIS ALPHA UNCLE: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Ashera burst out laughing. “Oh goddess, you’re ridiculous.”The two of them burst out laughing, their voices echoing warmly through the walls of the room like sunlight filtering through a storm cloud.“I’m being serious,” Nia said with a grin, swatting Ashera lightly on the arm.Ashera smirked and shook her head. “As much as I did enjoy you doing absolutely nothing, I don’t think it’s fair to demand such from Darius. He pulled whatever strings to get you a week off without telling me. The last thing I want is to take advantage of his kindness.”Nia pouted, dramatically flopping back against the chaise again. “Fair enough. But I am not going to sit in this room and spend my one-week break doing nothing. We’re going shopping.”Ashera opened her mouth to protest, but before she could form a single syllable, Nia raised a hand like a queen delivering a decree.

Rowan, seated in the driver’s seat with one hand casually draped over the wheel, let out a soft scoff. He didn’t bother hiding the slight wrinkle of his nose at Nia’s suggestion.“Luxe & Bloom?” he repeated, his voice smooth but lined with disdain. “That place is crawling with influencers and fashion students fighting over sequins and polyester. You might as well shop off a sale rack at a discount outlet.”Nia blinked, her enthusiasm briefly faltering. “Excuse me?”Rowan shifted in his seat, finally glancing at her in the rearview mirror. “If you want her” he gestured subtly toward Ashera “to actually look the part, she needs more than trendy scraps with inflated tags. She’s not a college girl playing dress-up. She’s—” he paused, looking at Ashera, he didn’t break her gaze. “You should be shopping at Étoile Noire.”Nia made

Ashera’s breath caught, a sharp flicker of tension shooting through her. The voice inside her wasn’t just a murmur now, it was an insistence, a pulse demanding attention. Touch her.She glanced at the boutique attendant, who was calmly folding the delicate tissue paper, carefully slipping the necklace back into its box. The woman was completely unaware of the storm brewing inside Ashera, her face composed and professional. The contrast made Ashera’s hesitation feel even more pronounced.Nia leaned closer, her voice barely a whisper. “Ash, are you sure you’re okay? You look… shaken.”Ashera’s lips parted, ready to brush it off, but the truth spilled quietly instead. “It’s my wolf. She’s trying to tell me something, but it’s confusing.”Nia’s eyes softened, understanding dawning. “Oh, I see… so she’s speaking right now? In your head?”

The woman took it, ran it through the reader, and handed it back without question.Her hands were wrapped tightly around her arms, as if trying to hold herself together.They left the shop in silence, Nia looped her arm through hers and didn’t say anything. She just stood beside her, anchoring her like she always had.They walked down together. Rowan was already waiting at the curb, leaning against the black SUV, sunglasses pushed low on his nose. The moment he saw them, he stood straighter.“You okay?” he asked immediately, eyeing Ashera with quiet concern.Nia said as they approached. “She needs to talk to Darius.”Rowan nodded once, opened the door without question, and ushered them inside. _ _ _ Darius stood in front of the wide mirror in his room, towel wrapped around his waist, the ends damp where they clung to his skin. His hair was still wet, water sliding down h

Darius kissed her gently, slow and lingering. He didn’t want to pull away. He didn’t want to let her go, not even for a week. But he forced himself to. He rested his hand on her cheek, thumb brushing over her skin as he searched her face, like he wanted to memorise it.“Stay safe,” he said lowly, his voice dipping into that commanding tone only she had the power to soften. “No wandering. Just focus on you. Learn what you need to learn.”Ashera nodded, her throat tightening. “You too. No being a broody tyrant while I’m gone.”A rare, brief smile tugged at his lips.With one last touch of his hand to her waist, he stepped back. Ashera turned and walked to the car, Nia following closely. Before she stepped inside, she looked back, because of course she did. And he was still standing there. Watching her like she was the most important thing in his world.She waved at him through the tinted window as
