บททั้งหมดของ The Ex-wife they Claimed: Their Heat, Her Fire: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

The engine screamed as the car tore through the empty roads, the speedometer climbing higher with every passing second.Selene barely noticed as both hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly her healing palms threatened to split open beneath the fresh bandages.Her foot remained buried against the accelerator, and the car only went faster and faster.Every red light became an obstacle, and every slow driver became an enemy."Hurry..." she whispered hoarsely, not even realising she'd spoken.The city lights blurred into long streaks outside her window, but her heart refused to slow down.No...It wasn't just her heart. It was theirs too.Through the mate bond, she could still feel them. It wasn't quite clear anymore after putting so much distance between them, but it was enough to know they were still fighting.Enough to know every movement hurt.Enough to know......they were losing.A sharp pain stabbed through her own chest, and she sucked in a breath."Elliott...," She muttered,

Slowly, steadily, their dying breaths began to pick it. It was almost unnoticeable at first, then she heard as their hearts began to beat a little more stronger, a little more faster, a little more... healthier.Their muscles relaxed more, and when their eyes fell close this time, she didn't panic and simply waited.She'd never seen AX-22 actually work on a wolf before, so she also watched in awe as their wounds began to close. The regeneration speed this liquid has multiplied normal wolf regeneration many times, and their broken bones, torn flesh, nerves, limbs ..began forming back at an exceptional, impressive rate.Jayden's limbs began growing back till it was as though he never lost it. Ajax's horrifying wounds Alps healed, and the hole in Elliot's head close-up, leaving not even the smallest of scars.They stirred against her body, but they were still somewhat weak. She knew this would most likely happen.And she couldn't just leave them sitting here, on the floor. They needed re

His brows furrowed slightly before his eyes slowly opened. For a few seconds, he simply stared at the ceiling with a blank expression, like he was in a daze. Then his gaze drifted sideways and landed on her.Neither of them spoke, at first then she managed a small smile, "Morning.""It's..." His voice was rough from dried blood and exhaustion. "...not morning."She glanced toward the window, then shrugged, "I guess not.""Afternoon, then." He said, his eyes remaining on her.Her hair had been tied into a careless bun, they were dark circles in her eyes that didn't come from just lack of sleep but stress too, and she was still wearing yesterday's clothes.She looked terrible, but still beautiful."You didn't sleep." He said."I did."He raised an eyebrow, "You don't have to lie to me, Selene,"The softness of his tone broke her, and she grabbed his hand and brought it to her cheeks, leaning into his palm. It felt...safe, like she was still trying to tell herself that their bodies were

"If I send one message..." Kingsley continued, pausing deliberately, "...those three men will never look at you the same way again."She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to suppress the pain and the panic, "Leave them out of this, please," She hated that she was sounding like this, that she was... pleading with him."So you do care.""I said leave them out of it.""My, my..." He laughed again, "The mighty Selene Vale is begging."She hated herself.She hated every second of this conversation."If hurting me isn't enough anymore..." she whispered, "...then use me. Leave them alone.""But they are you now." He stated, his words landing with frightening precision, "They're your weakness.""They're none of your concern.""They became my concern the moment you thought you could walk away from everything I've given you.""You never gave me anything! And if you're referring to Adrian, you're out of your damn mind!""I am referring to Adrian, and I don't care what had happened between you two.

"Miss Vale!" The reporters surged forward instantly, eager to ask questions and poke more into the family drama between the Laurents. "Selene!""Over here!""Miss Vale, why are you here today?""Are you here to stop the partnership?""Are you still dating the Blackwell Triplets?""Do you regret divorcing Mr Laurent?""Are you trying to reconcile with him?""Tell us more about what's going on between you and the Blackwell Triplets!""Have you and Mr Laurent secretly gotten back together?"Microphones nearly touched her face, and cameras flashed from every direction, making the morning sun seem dim in comparison.Selene adjusted her grip on the suitcase and continued walking. She didn't answer even one question, not even sparing them the smallest glance. Her expression remained calm despite the dozens of voices chasing after her."Miss Vale!""Is it true you've been receiving psychiatric treatment?""Were you under the influence of drugs when you announced the divorce?""Are you here
