All Chapters of Claimed By My Husband’s Best Friend : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

RONAN’S POVI was in my chambers, pacing back and forth with my phone pressed to my ear, listening to my father’s voice ramble on about wedding preparations and pack alliances. He had been calling me every day since I left Stormcrest, checking in on me and Nova like we were children on a school trip.“So, how are you and Nova settling down together?” my father asked, his voice full of expectation. “Are you bonding properly? Have you spent time alone with her? You know, the kind of time that will produce heirs?”I sighed heavily, and rubbed my temples. “We are settling down fine, Father. There is nothing to worry about.”“Nothing to worry about?” he repeated, sounding skeptical. “Ronan, you have been distant ever since you left. I hope you are not neglecting your duties. Nova is your fiancée. You need to make her feel special. She needs to feel wanted. You cannot just ignore her and expect her to be happy.”“I am doing my best,” I said flatly.“Do better,” he said firmly. “I want to he

RONAN’S POVI stormed into my chambers, with my heart pounding in my chest and my hands shaking with barely contained rage. The image of Nova kissing me in front of Mira was burned into my mind, and I could still see the hurt in Mira’s eyes as she watched. I could still see her forced smile, the way she had greeted us so politely, the way she had avoided my eyes. I could still hear her voice, steady and calm, while inside she was crumbling.I paced back and forth across the room, my footsteps heavy and angry. I wanted to punch something. I wanted to break something. I wanted to scream until my voice gave out. The walls felt like they were closing in on me, and I could not breathe.My eyes landed on a glass sitting on the table. Without thinking, I grabbed it and hurled it against the wall. It shattered into a thousand pieces, the sound echoing through the room like a gunshot. I stood there, breathing heavily, my chest heaving with rage.The door opened, and Silas walked in. He took on

MIRA’S POVI sat on my bed long after Silas had left, with the note still clutched in my trembling hands. Ronan’s words echoed in my mind, each line piercing through the walls I had built around my heart. He had not chosen this. He was forced into it. And he was still fighting for me. I wanted to believe him. I wanted to trust him. But the image of Nova kissing him in the garden was still fresh in my mind, and the pain was still raw.I knew I could not sit here alone with my thoughts. I needed to talk to someone. I needed Zara.So I grabbed my phone and called her. She answered on the second ring.“Zara, I need to see you,” I said, my voice urgent. “Where are you?”“I am at the cafe on Maple Street,” she said, her voice full of concern. “What happened? You sound like you have seen a ghost. Did something happen with Ronan again?”“I will explain everything when I get there,” I said. “Just wait for me.”“Fine, but you owe me details,” she said with a hint of teasing. “And make it quick,

RONAN’S POVI froze when I heard Nova’s voice from the other side of the door. My heart dropped into my stomach, and I felt my blood run cold. Mira was standing right in front of me, her eyes wide with panic, her face pale with fear. We both stood there, frozen, staring at each other like we had been caught in a crime we did not commit.“What do I do?” Mira whispered, her voice trembling. “She cannot see me here, Ronan. If she finds me in your chambers, everything will be ruined. Everything we have been working towards will be destroyed.”I looked around the room frantically, with my mind racing. “The restroom,” I said quickly, grabbing her hand. “Go into the restroom. Lock the door. Do not make a sound. Whatever you hear, do not come out until I tell you.”She nodded and hurried toward the restroom, her footsteps silent against the floor. She slipped inside and closed the door behind her just as Nova knocked again, more insistently this time.“Ronan? Are you in there?” Nova called ou

MIRA’S POVI walked back to my chambers with a lightness in my step that I had not felt in a very long time, with my heart still racing from the events of the night. The danger, the excitement, the near-miss with Nova—it all felt like something out of a dream, and I could not stop replaying every moment in my mind. The way Ronan had looked at me, the desperation in his eyes, the way he had reached for me like I was the only thing that mattered in the world. And I had stopped him. I had actually stopped him.A smile spread across my face as I closed the door behind me and leaned against it, letting out a breath I had not realized I was holding. I felt proud of myself. For the first time in my life, I was the one in control. I was the one setting the rules. I was the one this wealthy, handsome, sexy hunk of an Alpha was in love with, and he loved only me while other females were throwing themselves at him left and right.I walked over to my bed and sat down, still smiling. I thought abo
