Semua Bab Seducing My Ex-Mate's Lycan: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Patience's POVYvette's words didn't sway Kelsey. He was convinced I was embarrassing him on purpose.His Alpha pheromones, cold and metallic, grew agitated as he stared at me.His tone reeked of condescension and impatience, "What will it take for you to make your friend shut up? Want me to compensate you? Fine, name your price, just stop causing a scene!"As his words hung in the air, I felt the familiar tug of our broken mating bond.He was trying to assert his Alpha dominance over me, hoping my wolf would yield to his will as it had countless times before. But this time, I felt no urge to obey.I looked at the man before me, his eyes cold and his protectiveness for Hazel blatant. My heart turned to ice.How naive I had been years ago, thinking that sincerity and patience could make him love me."I don't want any compensation from you," I said, taking a deep breath to steady the emotions churning inside me.I shut out the weak attempt at dominance and spoke calmly, "I just want to

Patience's POVSince I've resigned and plan to cut all ties with Kelsey, joining Yvette's company might be a great way to reclaim my professional life."I'll think about it," I said."Great!" Yvette beamed. "Considering it already means there's a good chance!"At that moment, my phone rang with an unknown number.I answered to Hattie's demanding voice, "Patience, if you're not dead, get over here now! Did you forget you were supposed to accompany my mom to her hospital follow-up today? What, making us wait is your idea of fun?""I'm busy. If your mom isn't feeling well, you and Kelsey can take her," I replied coldly, hanging up before Hattie could throw a tantrum.I promptly blocked her number.For three years of mating, I'd been the one to take Madison to the hospital for every minor ailment, running errands, making appointments...Yet all my efforts were taken for granted, treated as if they were my own duty, met with not a shred of gratitude.Today was Madison's eye follow-up—a tas

Patience's POVMy wolf wailed—a raw, betrayed cry, tinged with the sharp bitterness of blood."Hazel has just been promoted to deputy captain. If something like this gets out, it will affect her reputation and harm her chances of promotion in the future," Kelsey said, his brows furrowed with concern for Hazel.He sharpened his tone and carried his Alpha aura, as if he could force my compliance.Just as he'd done countless times before.But this time, his aura only sent a cold ripple through me. Even my wolf refused to submit.I almost applauded him ironically.He planned every detail for Hazel's sake, yet he'd conveniently forgotten that when he'd been down on his luck, barely able to pay rent, Hazel had left him with his savings.I, on the other hand, had stayed by his side through it all—the late nights with dry bread as we revised plans, the endless pitches across the city, the darkest days we'd weathered together."No way," I said flatly, without a hint of hesitation."What?" Kels

Patience's POVKelsey's face darkened instantly, his Alpha aura flaring with a metallic, needle-like sharpness. "Watch your tongue, even as Patience's friend," he warned.Yvette lifted her chin, undaunted. "Isn't it the truth?"Kelsey's expression turned grimmer; his grip on the reins tightened until his knuckles whitened, and faint shadows of wolf claws flickered between his fingers.I stepped forward, placing myself between Yvette and Kelsey."Kelsey, if you dare harm my friend, I'll expose your affair with Hazel right here and now! Let's see how steady Hoffman Tech's stock price remains then." I declared."How dare you!" Kelsey's fury blazed, his eyes brimming with thinly veiled threats.His aura surged, aiming to overpower me.But my wolf growled in defiance, unleashing my own aura.Kelsey's attempt to suppress me failed. His gaze darkened, his face paling visibly."What's to stop me?" I stood firm, recalling how Kelsey had spent fortunes to bury those scandals about him and Hazel

Third Person's POVKelsey's words were an attempt to distance himself from Patience.At the restaurant, she had offended Cyrus by pointing a toy gun at him.Additionally, both BlueTech and Hoffman Tech were vying for the Gross family's investment in the drone sector, making them rivals.By denigrating Patience, Kelsey aimed to undermine BlueTech's credibility.Patience watched Kelsey with cold detachment.After three years of dedication to his company, she was dismissed as an "ordinary employee.""Is that so?" Cyrus's tone was neutral, his face inscrutable.Hazel then spoke up, "Ms. Hammond, I know you want to help Patience impress Mr. Gross, but there's no need to fabricate her identity.""What fabrication? While Patience was researching drones, you were probably still playing with toy planes!" Yvette retorted."Can she name any patents or projects in the drone field?" Hazel challenged.Yvette was speechless.Patience's past drone research had been confidential."So, nothing to decla
