All Chapters of Divorced The Wrong Alpha. Mated To The Alpha King: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

MayaThe boy in my dream is Lucien. The woman is his mother. Everything lines up now, and the truth hits me so hard it steals my breath. The dream is not random. It is not just my imagination. It is showing me pieces of his past, things I never understand because I never stop to question it. Maybe I have a gift I do not even know about, a gift that speaks through dreams while I am asleep. Lucien once tells me his family is wiped out, and now it finally makes sense.I turn to the woman, my chest tight. Why does she know so much about Lucien while I know almost nothing? The realization tugs sharply at my mind, leaving a dull ache behind.“Evelyne, you should go,” Lucien says.His voice fills the room, calm on the surface, but beneath it I feel his anger boiling. She has said something she is not supposed to say. That much is clear. My heart sinks. How long does he plan to keep things from me? What else is he hiding that I know nothing about? When I call out Stacy’s name in my sleep, is

MayaHe looks at me sharply, and for a moment I see a surprise flash in his eyes. He does not expect me to hear him so clearly. He does not expect me to push back.“I want the truth, Lucien,” I say. My voice shakes, but I do not stop. “I don’t know how many more lies I can take. Everything between us feels built on half-truths, and I don’t even know what to believe anymore.” I look anywhere but at him, my gaze roaming the room. “Please… don’t lie to me again.”He takes a slow breath before speaking.“His boss is one of the Alphas from a neighboring pack,” he says calmly. “We did business once. I later realize it is based on fraud, so I back out. He threatens me. That deal would have enriched his pack, and now he wants payback. He is trying to get to me through you.”As he speaks, he steps closer and places his hands on my arms. Sparks flare instantly. The familiar tingles race through my body, unwanted and confusing. I watch his face carefully, searching for cracks, for signs of decei

LucienI don't know how I'll function if Maya ever leaves me. I knew from the start that I hated her, the daughter of my enemy, I hated her father, in fact everything about them and I craved revenge. Yet, I never imagined our beginning would blossom into something this sweet and precious. Now, she shatters every line of my resolve when she stares back at me. Those soft hazel eyes are mesmerizing; they make me do things I normally wouldn't. She is my life, holding the very thread of my existence. I never intended to want her long-term, which is why I kept so many secrets, but now she peels back every one of my walls, forcing me into silly, vulnerable moments."I want to take you to the park and fuck you there," I say, my voice dangerously seductive.Her eyes bulge with surprise. "Don't tell me you saw my bucket list?" she asks, scooting away from me, with a mix of shock and humor on her face.I shake my head slowly. "I didn't see anything. I guess a little bird told me, and I know i

MayaHer words pierce straight through my heart. The pain is sudden, like something inside me is tearing apart. Her voice keeps echoing in my head, over and over, and for a moment I wonder if she still has more poison to spill or if this is all just a cruel attempt to drive a wedge between Lucien and me.I hate how much her words try to shake what I feel. Fear claws at my chest, cold and relentless, but even through it all, certainty holds me upright. Lucien’s love is not a leash. And I am not weak, no matter how badly she wants me to believe that I am.I step closer to her, my movements slow and deliberate. “I’m going to pretend you didn’t sit in my room and watch me sleep like a creep,” I say calmly. “I’m going to pretend you didn’t sit on my couch and spill nonsense about your ex-husband, even though it’s obvious you’re in pain because he moves on.”My voice lowers, carrying a dangerous edge. “I’m going to pretend today never happens.”I pause, feeling my own words. I am letting it

Maya‘You really live up to your promise of taking revenge by marrying his daughter.’The words keep ringing in my head, over and over, refusing to fade. I glance back at Lucien. He is deep in conversation with Alpha Kael, so focused that he doesn’t notice me drifting away. I keep walking, forcing my body to move normally. I don’t let anyone see how my hands shake or how my breathing turns uneven.Inside me, everything is falling apart.My heart breaks all over again, slow and painful. Every doubt I ever try to silence comes rushing back at once. The kidnapping. The pot-bellied man’s words. His ex-wife’s poisonous hints. And now Alpha Kael. All of it points to the same ugly thought, my mating with Lucien has something to do with revenge.Oh, Goddess.The pain wraps tight around my chest, squeezing until it hurts to breathe. I don’t want to believe this. I can’t. A part of me clings desperately to the hope that none of it is real, that love isn’t a lie dressed up as fate.Then I hear A
