All Chapters of Claimed By My Alpha Husband’s Uncle: Chapter 11 - Chapter 17

Haliyah’s POV.“Always be my wife…”The statement caught me off guard. I stared at Raven without blinking, trying to find some kind of explanation on his face. But the more I looked, the more confused I became. Was I hearing him right? What was he trying to say? I couldn’t understand at all.What did that even mean? Did he mean he didn’t want a divorce? Or did he just want control? The second answer felt more likely. Raven hated losing what belonged to him. In his mind, I was still his possession. His territory. Something with his mark on it.“What…? What do you mean by that?” I couldn’t stop myself from asking.Even he looked startled, like he didn’t even plan to say them. Then, almost immediately, his usual cold mask returned.“It’s nothing. Don’t misunderstand,” he dismissed curtly. “You just need to do what you’re supposed to do. Fulfill your duties as my wife. That’s all I meant.”Ah. There it was. A bitter feeling rose in my chest.

The kind that made men feel protective.“Maybe it was wrong for us to go in the first place… If Haliyah finds out, she might get angry with you,” she added, almost like she was worried.So now she pretended to care about my feelings?Raven gave a short, impatient
