Semua Bab Burned by My Ex, Reborn as His King's Mate : Bab 171 - Bab 180

SERAPHINAI sat next to Mother, watching them while enjoying my hot tea. There was something so soothing about seeing two generations of leaders talking without tension—just as father and son-in-law learning to understand each other.“Back when I first found out you were in love with Kaelos,” Mother whispered, “your father was worried. He was afraid Kaelos was too… intense. Too fiery.”I turned my head, laughing softly. “And look at us now.”“Yes,” she said with a proud smile. “You tamed his fire without extinguishing it.”I looked at Kaelos in the distance, his blue eyes sparkling in the sunlight as he laughed at my father's story. “He was never really tamed, Mom,” I said. “But I love his fire.”Mom stared at me for a long time, as if seeing the shadows of the past on my face. “You know,” she said softly, “I used to be afraid you would grow up too fast. You always wanted to protect everyone, even when you yourself were hurt.”I looked down, remembering all the journeys that had broug

AUTHOR'S POVThe morning breeze blew gently across the clearing, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth. Kaelos stood tall with Seraphina by his side, while Callista and Alex flanked them as a symbol of the Pack's unity. Beta Archer and the warriors formed a semicircle behind them, alert but not provocative.Viktor Ashford stepped into the clearing with confidence that bordered on arrogance. He was about 190 cm tall, with a perfect athletic posture. His blond hair was neatly cut, and his ice-blue eyes scanned the area with cold calculation. He wore a dark gray suit with a platinum vest and tie that made him look like a European aristocrat—handsome, classy, yet dangerous.Behind him, four wolves followed with military discipline. They were all large, with expressions that were difficult to read.“Alpha Kaelos of the Nightveil Pack,” Viktor opened the conversation with a refined British accent. "We finally meet. Your reputation has reached as far as Europe.“Kaelos didn't flinch. ”Lo

SERAPHINAI stared at my reflection in the large mirror in our room, feeling a complex mix of emotions. The emerald green evening gown I had chosen—or rather, that Kaelos had chosen—fit my body perfectly. The design was elegant yet conservative, with a high neckline and long sleeves that ended at the wrists. However, the silk fabric flowed along the curves of my body in a way that still made me look feminine and graceful.“You look very beautiful,” Kaelos' voice made me turn my head. He was standing in the doorway of the bathroom, already wearing a black tuxedo that made him look like a male model—or more precisely, like a powerful and intimidating Alpha.“I still don't understand why we have to have this party,” I complained for the umpteenth time. “Wasn't it enough that we met Viktor yesterday?”Kaelos approached, standing behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist. His eyes met mine in the mirror. "Politics, love. If we don't have a formal welcome dinner, it will be considered

KAELOSThe clock read 2:47 a.m., and I was still awake. Beside me, Seraphina slept peacefully, her breathing steady and calm. The full moon cast a soft light through our bedroom window, illuminating her beautiful face—the face that had become Viktor Ashford's obsession.I clenched my fists, feeling my nails begin to grow—a sign that my wolf was also restless. The image of Viktor staring at Seraphina with those cold, icy blue eyes kept spinning in my head. The way he said her name. The way he kissed her hand. The way he praised her in front of the entire Pack as if he had the right to do so.“Luna Seraphina is truly exceptional...”I wanted to rip his throat out right then and there.Careful not to wake Seraphina, I got out of bed and walked to the balcony. The cold night air hit my skin, but it wasn't enough to cool the anger and jealousy boiling inside me.This wasn't the first time I had felt jealousy. When we first got together, there were a few male wolves who tried to approach Se

KAELOSAs soon as Viktor and his team left, I closed the conference room door and turned to Seraphina.“What did you see?” I asked.Seraphina was already flipping through her notes. “Multiple red flags. First, the timeline is impossibly aggressive. Six months for fully operational international expansion? That requires pre-existing infrastructure, which begs the question—why does he need us if he already has infrastructure?”Elder Marcus nodded agreement. "I noticed that too. And 40% ownership for essentially passive investment is too generous. In my forty years doing Pack business, I've never seen a European Pack offer such favorable terms without a hidden agenda.“”The quarterly board meetings bothered me most,“ Seraphina continued. ”Think about it—meetings alternating between continents means either Kaelos regularly travels to Europe, leaving the Pack vulnerable, or I attend some meetings with representatives while Kaelos stays here. Given Viktor's... interest in me, I bet he's cou
