Semua Bab My Ex Threatened My Baby, My Alpha Made Him Pay: Bab 1 - Bab 8

I ripped my arm from their grasp, glaring up at him."I was marked six months ago," I warned, my voice low and steady. "My mate is an Alpha. And he is not someone you want to cross."I thought making things clear with Kyle would be the end of it. A disgusting chapter finally closed.I wouldn't let this man, an ex who meant nothing to me anymore, get under my skin.I didn't bother giving him a response and turned to leave.But he stepped in front of me, his body blocking my path."Amelia, do you really take me for a fool? Making up lies about some new mate?" he sneered. "Still caught up in your fantasy of landing an Alpha, are you?"He smirked, crossing his arms as if he had me all figured out."Trying to make me jealous? Pathetic. A pity, but I don't waste my energy on weak little humans."I just stared back at him, my expression blank. He wasn't worth the energy of a reply.I had already told him. I had a new mate.If he didn’t believe me, that was his problem.My silence only fueled

I was about to fight back, to tell him the truth.But a familiar voice cut through the tension."Kyle, stop."Selena strode toward us in an expensive suit and high heels, a perfect smile on her face. But her eyes were cold as a snake's."Darling, let's not make a scene," she cooed, touching Kyle’s arm. "We still have to greet Alpha Ethan. We can't let this kind of gossip get back to him."Kyle let go of me and took a step back."Selena, stay out of this.""Of course I can't," she said, turning to me, her eyes glinting with contempt. "Your reputation is at stake, after all."The two wolves were still staring me down.Selena gave them a nod. "Take her to the lounge."I was half-dragged, half-pushed into the airport’s VIP lounge.Plush leather sofas, a crystal chandelier, and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the busy tarmac.It was so quiet I could hear the hum of the air conditioner.Selena sat down gracefully and pulled a checkbook from her purse.She tore out a check and wrote

Ethan strode to the operating table, his knuckles grazing my cheek.His touch burned through the anesthetic.A jolt of pure energy—the power of our mate bond—shot through me.Then, he turned slowly, his eyes raking over everyone in the room.A primal fear seized Kyle. His body trembled uncontrollably."Alpha... Alpha Ethan..." he stammered.The true Alpha.King of the Blood Moon Pack, the most powerful in the North.Kyle tried to kneel, but his legs gave out."Alpha, this... this is a private matter," Kyle stammered, his voice shaking. "She's my ex. She wouldn't leave me alone..."Ethan didn't even look at him.Not a single glance.It was like Kyle was beneath his notice.His gaze stayed locked on me, the gold in his eyes softening.His movements were impossibly gentle as he undid the straps on my wrists."You're safe now," he murmured, his voice low and warm. "I'm here."The second his skin touched mine, a powerful current shot through us.The mate bond.A sacred connection that could

The Rolls-Royce glided smoothly through the night.The medical team had finished, confirming one last time that both the pup and I were safe."You need to rest, Luna," Dr. Morrison said, bowing his head. "The shock to your system was significant.""I'll take care of her," Ethan said, his hand tight on mine.After the car door closed, it was just the two of us.I leaned into his embrace, breathing in that familiar pine scent."Ethan," I said softly."Hmm?""How did you find me?" I looked up at him. "I'm human. Our mate bond shouldn't work over long distances."Ethan's expression was complicated.He was quiet for a moment before he spoke."I wasn't just passing by.""What do you mean?""This afternoon, I was hunting a traitor to the pack," he said, his voice low. "He fled to that abandoned industrial park."I listened, my heart starting to pound."As I cornered him, I felt a pull… a plea from the Moon Goddess herself.""The Moon Goddess?"Ethan nodded, his gaze far away. "A soul, fading
