All Chapters of Claimed by My Ex's Alpha King Uncle: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

"Mate!"The word echoed through the ceiling and fell back on everyone who froze exactly where they stood.A mate.A rare word.A quiet confession of everything I had done. Of what I was.I could feel their eyes on me, burning and assessing. Wanting to know how it had come to be, but shrugging it off as nonsense all the same."You don't know what you're talking about." Donald's voice faltered, but Dane remained still, confident, his hand holding mine softly yet firmly."Aurelia is the mate the moon goddess has blessed me with, and I cannot do without her." Dane answered. "Any threat to her is a threat to me and to this country.""Are you saying—?""The wedding date will be discussed with you all." Dane cut him off before he could finish, while Eric, for the first time since the gathering, turned his back and walked away.***It was only after I ensured the police officers took Charl

"That's enough!" Trevor barked. His dominating aura shook the walls of his office, frames falling to the ground, windows rattling with brute force as his shoulders broadened, welcoming his monster.The monster I used to fear. But not anymore.I didn't run, neither did I scurry.I stood face to face with Trevor's beast. A beast more than twice my size, towering over everything in the room.Making me nothing more than a tiny prey in its gaze."Are you trying to outsmart me?" He asked.I scoffed. "You should've figured that out by now.""Aurelia!" He roared again, his voice shaking the entire room, almost causing my knees to buckle, but I stood strong. Unwavering."You think you can ever be free from me?" He scowled. "I am your father.""You are nothing but the man who brought me into this world through my mother's misery." I yelled at the top of my lungs, my heart racing. "And for my mother's sake, I will ensure you meet y

My grip tightened around the bouquet of peonies in my hands as I heaved deeply."You're ready?" Koralie asked, standing by my side. I turned to see a huge smile plastered on her face, her eyes wet with tears that were almost spilling over."I guess I am." I answered with a sigh.Koralie intertwined her arm with mine as we both stood behind the curtains, waiting to be called forward by the priest.Traditionally, my father was meant to be in Koralie's position, to walk me down the aisle, but I had long been orphaned and Eric hadn't spoken to me since that day.Heck, I hadn't even gotten the chance to speak to him myself, but I could only hope he would be present so we could talk and I could offer my apology for everything I had indirectly caused to the family he had fought so hard to hold together.Through the thin curtains, I could hear the voices of the elders performing the rites with Dane, the ones that were meant to be done before they ca

A violent rumble cracked through the air, a wave of crushing force radiating from Dane as he stood directly before the head priest.Wanting submission the head priest fought hard to refuse.He would be punished. Stripped of everything.Dane could not hurt the head priest."Dane!" I yelled, but my voice was swallowed by the thick, pressing wind that spread violently across the garden."Your Highness, this is madness!" A guest from the crowd called out as the stench of fear thickened in the air."All because of an abomination?" Another yelled. "This is exactly why she has to die!""Your Highness!" A loud cry shattered the tension. I turned to see Corinne and Desmond standing a few feet away. "Please!" Desmond called out, pushing his own dominance forward in a bid to reach Dane.In an instant, Dane's head snapped back. His gaze locked onto whoever had dared to challenge him, but the moment he turned, Desmond dropped to h

The high priest ushered both Dane and me into the large white tub, filled with red liquid that sparkled under the moonlight.The guests all went quiet, watching in silence.Dane stood next to me, his eyes never leaving mine as he slowly unhooked my veil. I watched the light fabric drift away in the wind.Gently, his hands snaked around my waist, trailing up my back in search of my zipper.The minute his thumb grazed it, he slowly drew the zip down as my dress fell from my shoulders, down my breasts.Dane gulped, his eyes following the silk gown which landed on my hips.Softly, he slid the dress down my curves, his hands gripping gently on my skin as a subtle moan left his lips.I sucked in a quiet breath, my fingers fumbling with the buttons on his shirt.Finally, I undid his buttons. Standing naked next to him, our bodies softly pressed against each other. And at that point, it didn’t matter that I was in
