Semua Bab Trading My Cheating Ex for His Alpha Uncle : Bab 141 - Bab 150

ZARA“While we are being open about her real identity, there are matters that are confidential to the Blood Moon Pack, and as such, I cannot reveal them because my partner is the one involved. The only reason we are saying this now is because her pack needs her, and as such, she will be sworn in as the Alpha of her pack tomorrow,” Xavier told them loud and clear.“That’s impossible!” One of the elders who had been quiet all along objected. I didn’t even know his name. “She cannot be here and there at the same time.”“And that brings me to the next thing I am going to say,” Xavier muttered. He glanced at me before continuing, “If the pack protests against having the Alpha of another pack as its Luna, then she is willing to resign as the Luna. But she still remains my wife.”My eyes widened. In that case, the contract wouldn’t be terminated, and I would remain bound to him for a year.I had a lot of things to say to him, but I’d have to wait until we were alone.“How would that work? In

ZARABeta Derick had contacted me early this morning about the ascension ceremony, and I had asked him to fix it for tomorrow. There were still a lot of things I had to get done today, a lot of people I had to discuss things with.The bodyguards remained outside while I went into the lab. As usual, all my colleagues were already inside, and it annoyed me that I was never early.“You know, one day, I’ll be the first to arrive at this lab,” I muttered as I reached for my lab coat that had been perfectly dry-cleaned.“Of course. Maybe when the world finally ends,” Clara said, and I shot my eyes at her, my jaw dropping.“Which we would all be struggling to survive anyway, and no one would remember whatever research we have going on here.” She opened her arms wide, looking around before settling her gaze on me. “That is to say, never. You’d never get here first.”“Ouuu... is that a curse?” I chuckled, not taking offense at her words.“Facts. Just stating facts,” she said with a nod, her li

XAVIERA bouquet of red roses sat on the passenger seat as I drove to the pack to congratulate Zara on her big day tomorrow, even though I dreaded everything about her becoming the Alpha of that pack. Not only because it was a risky position to take, considering the dangers surrounding it, but I also hated the thought of having her leave my side.I had grown so used to sleeping next to her in my bed. I had grown used to her beautifully carved face being the first thing I saw in the morning. That was a blessing, to be honest, and I was about to lose that privilege.Ever since I learned about her powers and how dormant they were, Adrian and I had been actively researching ways to reactivate them. Even before Beta Derick took her to see the late Elder Eleanor.We finally found a solution. In Moonsun City, almost a four-hour drive away from here, there was a healer in one of the prominent packs in that city. She had a history of helping other healers who had lost their abilities regain th

ZARAI stirred awake to find myself in Xavier’s arms as he rushed toward the car to put me inside.“Xavier...” I called.“You are awake!” Xavier exclaimed, relief flooding his features. “Oh, thank goodness. Don’t worry. We’ll get to the hospital soon.”“No. Put me down. I am fine,” I murmured.“You just fainted. You need to get checked out,” he insisted.“I am fine, Xavier. Put me down. The ceremony is about to begin,” I pressed.His brows furrowed, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.“Now. Please,” I tapped him on his triceps rapidly to emphasize the urgency.He sighed heavily before reluctantly putting me back on my feet.Beta Derick was next to us within seconds, relief flooding his face. “I was so worried about you. I am glad you are awake. Let’s take you to the pack’s lounge to rest a bit before we proceed to the temple.”“No. Let’s go and get it over with. I am fine now,” I argued.The look both of them gave me showed they weren’t convinced, so I had to prove myself.“See?

ZARAI had woken up from a terrifying nightmare to realize that someone had been inside my room, and I had no idea what they would have done if I hadn’t woken up the moment I did.I went over to the window to take a look, hoping I would see them lurking around. I needed to see their face at least. But there was no one there. Panic tore through me, but I forced myself to remain calm. Hyperventilating wouldn’t help me at this moment. I had known what I signed up for when I accepted this deadly position, one that had promised to take my life before I even accepted it.Whoever had taken my parents’ lives and had been after mine had resumed their evil scheme. By morning, I would have the windows barricaded so no one could easily sneak into the room.Two of the six guards had overnight duty outside my room, switching shifts, while the rest slept in the room next to mine. That was to say, no one could pass through the door without a fight.I needed to start investigating my parents’ deaths i
