Lahat ng Kabanata ng Rejected, I Mated With Ex's Father: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

CLAIRE'S POV:"Claire... what's going on?" Raquel asked, her brows knitted as she squinted at my phone screen.I panicked for a second, then gently moved the phone away from her view. "It’s nothing," I said, forcing a smile. "Theo’s just being... Theo. He likes to tease me a lot after I told him how I had expected Adrian to propose to me on the day of our graduation but he ended up proposing to Nicole instead."She tilted her head. "Theo doesn’t seem like the kind of guy that would do that. But if he does that, that means there's still a chance he might propose to you.”I slipped my phone into my bag quickly. "Trust me, you don't know Theo as much as you think you do. He's unpredictable and you can never be sure what his next action might be.”Raquel didn’t look entirely convinced, but she sighed and let it go. "Fine. I think you're in a better position to know Theo better than I do. But if this is some sort of surprise….”“Surprise? Who wants to surprise who? Theo is not the type tha

CLAIRE'S POV:Theo took my breath away as he kissed me so passionately. His hands roamed around my body until he found my butt and and he squeezed gently, igniting sexual hunger within me.I wanted him. I wanted him so badly and I was going to have him now.His eyes narrowed when I nudged him aside and got up from the bed. I headed to the bathroom and took off the cream coloured dress I had warn to Bob and Raquel's engagement party. Then I slipped into the beautiful lingerie Raquel had made me buy earlier today.As I stepped out, Theo's eyes darkened.“I was wondering where you disappeared to,” he said, his voice lower than usual, rough with curiosity... or maybe anticipation.I let the corner of my lips curl into a teasing smirk. “Just wanted to change into something more… celebratory.”Theo’s brow arched as he got off the bed, his pace lazy, and predatory. “Oh?” he murmured. “What are we celebrating exactly?”I turned around, making sure he got a good view of my curvy body which was

THEO'S POVAs I wiped tears off Claire's face, I realised how deeply she has fallen for me. My wolf was happy and praised me for taking such a bold step.I have given her my word and I will stand by it.“Let's go wash up and get ready before Bob and Raquel will invite us for breakfast.”Claire nodded and let go of me. Honestly, I couldn't get enough of her warm body as I began feeling empty as soon as she left for the bathroom.There was a coffee machine in the room and I quickly made coffee. It has been a long habit of mine taking coffee as soon as I wake up.My phone rang just as I was pouring myself a cup of coffee. The screen lit up with Adrian's name. I stared at it for a second, my jaw tightening, before finally picking it up and placing it to my ear."What do you want, Adrian?" There was nothing gentle in my voice."You should know what I want, Dad," he barked immediately, voice laced with fury. "You think I wouldn’t find out? I saw the pictures of you and Claire holding hands

CLAIRE:Jennifer and I spent the rest of the day chatting and laughing like high school girls. She couldn't get enough of the gists I dished out about my stay at the Ireland.We slept quite late and when I woke up the next day, an envelope was delivered at my doorstep by a mailman."An invitation?" I stared at the elegant cream colored envelope with so much curiousity, wondering where it came from.Jennifer raised an eyebrow as she sipped her coffee, lounging on my couch in a hoodie. "Girl, what kind of fancy crap is that? Did someone send you a royal summons?""You might be onto something," I muttered, slipping my finger under the gold seal and pulling out the thick cardstock. The handwriting was sharp, almost aggressive. It wasn’t an invitation. It was a command. A meeting. From Luna Roanna.Luna Roanna was Theo’s mother.Jennifer peered over my shoulder. "Let me see that."I handed it to her with shaky fingers."Oh damn," she whispered, reading aloud. "'Miss Claire, your presence i

CLAIRE'S POV:Theo dropped me off at home and told me to make sure to be in the office early the next day.I nodded, gave him a peck on the cheek before waving him goodbye.Luckily, Jennifer wasn't at home that night so I didn't have to gossip all night. I took dinner at home, went to bed early and woke up early in the morning to prepare for work.I didn't want to disappoint Theo, so I went early as he had instructed. I took the elevator to the last floor. A few staff were in the office when I walked in, but the low hum of keyboards already filtered through the air.I could hear murmurs of conversation blending together behind closed doors. I wore my favorite blue pencil skirt and white blouse combo—simple but elegant. My hair was up in a neat bun, and I felt ready to conquer the day.Or so I thought."Claire! Good morning!" Naomi waved from the reception desk."Morning, Naomi," I smiled. "Is the boss in yet?""Not yet. But... his mother just walked in. She's in his office."I blinked
