All Chapters of My Fiance Cheated So I Claimed His Lycan Bosses : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

ClaireI tried to pull my hand back the second Connor dropped to one knee in front of me, but his fingers locked around my wrist and refused to let go. God damn it. What kind of an asshole was he? Couldn’t he see I was trying to cover for both of us so this Morana woman didn’t start asking the wrong questions? His grip was warm and firm, the kind of touch that used to feel safe when we were just best friends sitting on the couch. But right now it felt like a spotlight.I could already feel Morana’s stare burning into the side of my face. The air in the room got thicker. I coughed once, forced a small laugh, and yanked harder until Connor finally loosened his hold. I scooted back on the floor and kept my head down.“Sorry, Sir. I’ll clean this up quickly.”Connor’s jaw tightened at the word “Sir.” His eyes flashed with something sharp, but he swallowed it and stood up without another word. Good. At least he was playing along. I went back to gathering the broken glass, moving slower t

Claire~I was about to open my mouth when the door kicked open so hard it slammed against the wall. The sound made me flinch and take a quick step back. My pulse jumped.We both turned. Hudson stood in the doorway with one hand in his pocket. His expression wasn’t friendly. He looked at me first, then at Morana, and without saying a word he walked straight toward me. His fingers closed around my wrist and he started pulling me toward the exit.Morana’s voice stayed calm. “I was just having a woman-to-woman conversation with her. You can be rest assured nothing happened. Connor already told me she’s your friend.”Hudson stopped long enough to meet her eyes. “Morana doesn’t hold normal conversations with people I know. If you want private talks with her next time, you take permission from me or Mason. Even Connor has to.”My eyes widened. What the hell did that mean? He said it like I needed clearance just to speak to someone in this place. I didn’t get the chance to ask. Hudson was alr

Claire~I’ll be meeting my what?! How?But Hudson didn’t look back as he walked off, and I followed instantly, Anastasia right behind me. My legs moved on autopilot while my brain scrambled to catch up. The hallway felt longer. Every step echoed as Hudson’s shoulders stayed rigid, his stride cutting clean through the space.We pushed through the last set of double doors and stepped outside. The night air hit my face, cooler than I expected. A few guards stood near the entrance. The second they saw Hudson they straightened and bowed sharply. No one said a word. They didn’t need to. Hudson’s expression alone was enough to keep every mouth shut. I glanced at one of the men as we passed. His eyes flicked to me for half a second, then dropped again. Whatever they thought of the girl in the torn maid’s dress walking behind the Lycan King’s brother, they kept it to themselves.Hudson opened the back door of a black SUV without looking at me. “Get in.”I slid across the seat. Anastasia climb

Claire~I held his gaze and didn’t look away, the air in the room felt thicker than it had a minute ago. Connor stood only a few feet from me, waiting. That quiet, focused look of his always meant trouble when we were younger. It meant he already knew I was editing the story and was giving me one last chance to fix it myself.“That’s what she said and what I answered,” I repeated, keeping my voice even. “She recognized me. She threatened to call Marcus. I told her I was done with him and the pack. I offered my skills as a doctor because I need somewhere safe and the Archivists value that kind of work. She asked about the interruption in the hall. I told her I was looking out for a friend. End of story.”Connor’s eyes stayed on mine for several long seconds. Then he exhaled through his nose and rubbed a hand over the back of his neck.“You’re leaving something out.”“I’m not.”“You are.” He stepped closer. “I’ve known you since we were kids, Claire. You get this little tightness aroun

Claire~Hudson’s words hit me like a slap.“I’ve never lied to my brother before. But I just started it with you. I just hope the goddess didn’t make the wrong choice of my mate this time around.”I blinked. Huh?Before I could even open my mouth to ask what the hell that meant, he turned, opened the door, and slammed it shut behind him and the sound echoed through the quiet room.What the hell did that mean? Wrong choice of mate? Who was his mate? What the hell was he talking about?God damn it, I didn’t understand this place or these people at all. Everyone kept speaking in half-sentences and strange attitudes that made my head spin. Lycan politics. Forced betrothals. Mind-reading. Gifts that let them see conversations. I felt like I had stepped into a different world and no one had bothered to give me the manual.My stomach growled loud enough to break the silence. Yeah. I definitely hadn’t eaten anything real since the plane. The sandwich on the flight barely counted.As if on cue
