Todos los capítulos de Crush on My Alpha Adoptive Uncle: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

After my secret crush was discovered, my adoptive uncle Kieran, who always loved me, completely became a different person.He even brought my best friend Scarlett home and claimed her as his fiancée.Looking at the deep wariness in his eyes toward me, I suddenly smiled with relief.I agreed to my Alpha grandfather's tentative proposal for an arranged mating."Sure, an arranged mating sounds good. I haven't found my mate anyway."My calm words surprised everyone.Grandmother teased me curiously."What’s wrong with you, little girl? Didn't our Aria always get angry whenever this topic came up?"Yes, before, whenever anyone mentioned dating or arranged matings, I'd storm off and cause a scene.But today, I agreed so calmly.Grandfather was obviously surprised, but more relieved. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out happily."Our Aria has grown up! Kieran's having his mating ceremony next month, and now Aria has plans too. Double blessings from Moon Goddess!"I smiled, but

After my confession, Kieran never set foot in this cabin again.Afraid of triggering painful memories, I didn't dare stay here either.Three years later, I stepped inside once more.Just as I entered the foyer, I locked eyes with two figures in the living room.I was soaked through, water dripping from my hem and spreading dark stains across the carpet. My hair stuck messily to both sides of my face, looking as messy as a wet dog.In the center of the living room, Kieran's hand froze mid-air, gripping a glass of moonshine wine.He shot to his feet, knocking over the bottle of elderberry wine on the table.His Adam's apple bobbed once, his gaze falling on my soaked clothes."How did you... end up like this?"Scarlett cried out, grabbing tissues to wipe the wine stains from her dress.When she looked up again, she wore an expression of helpless tolerance."How did you get so drenched? Don't tell me you actually walked all the way back from the estate? Didn't we give you money for a taxi?

By the time I'd composed myself and returned to the auction, bidding had already begun.I'd thought that with my skill level, a few paintings together might fetch a few hundred thousand if I was lucky.I sat in a corner of the back row, my heartbeat rising and falling with the hammer strikes.Because my paintings were presented on the platform one after another, prices climbing at a breathtaking pace.Far beyond my expectations.Until "Embers" was wheeled onto the stage.On the deep black canvas, only the burned marks intertwined with dark red paint, consuming all my unspeakable yearning.The moment the auctioneer announced the starting price, the lights in Kieran's private box lit up.Immediately after, the light panel in a VIP box diagonally across that had remained silent suddenly blazed to life.A silent tug-of-war began.Prices leaped upward at staggering increments. The entire venue's attention shifted between these two boxes, whispers rising like a tide.I saw Kieran's expressio

I dragged my exhausted body to open the door. Kieran stood outside, his face dark enough to drip water, his eyes bloodshot from a sleepless night.He didn't even let me say a word before his ice-cold interrogation crashed down on me."Aria, just how long are you going to keep acting out!"I looked at him blankly.He gave a cold laugh, shoving his phone screen almost into my face."I thought you'd finally grown up, but you're still this vicious! If you can't have something, you have to destroy it, right? Using such filthy language to insult someone who's about to become your aunt?"On the screen were last night's text conversation records between Scarlett and me.But they'd been carefully edited and altered.My "why" had become vicious curses.And my words calling her out for stealing her friend's man had been spliced together with extremely crude insults and provocations.Her triumphant boasting and vicious slander had vanished without a trace.The entire conversation made it look like

The moment Kieran's feet touched the deck of the rescue boat, something twisted deep in his chest. An inexplicable chill ran down his spine, making every nerve ending scream that something was wrong.His heart lurched violently, and he spun around with desperate urgency.But all he could see was that endless stretch of dark, churning water. The ocean looked like a black void, swallowing everything in its path.His hands gripped the boat's railing until his knuckles turned white. A cold dread settled in his stomach, growing heavier with each passing second."No," he whispered to himself. "She's safe. She has to be safe."But the unease wouldn't leave him. It clawed at his mind like a living thing.During the chaos of the evacuation, he could have sworn he'd seen a flash of familiar hair. A glimpse of that face he knew better than his own. For just one terrifying moment, he thought he'd seen me in the crowd of panicking passengers.But that was impossible.Kieran shook his head violently
