Alle Kapitel von I'm Your Brother's Wife Dear Ace : Kapitel 11 – Kapitel 20

Ace After walking away from Selena, who was still screaming in agony on the floor, I made my way back to my private chambers.This is just the beginning, I thought, a dark, satisfaction-filled smirk tugging at the corner of my lips.‘That cut was far too shallow!’ Lane, my wolf, snarled inside my mind, his mental claws scraping for more blood.Relax, Lane, This is just a warning nothing more.A sharp, rhythmic knock cut through my silent thoughts. Knock, knock.Ronan stepped into the room, closing the heavy wooden door behind him.“Did you find it?” I demanded, not wasting any time.“No, Alpha,” Ronan replied, his posture tense. “His office is completely crawling with guards. I couldn't get close enough to uncover the documents, but I did overhear something.”I gave him a sharp nod, giving him the unspoken permission to continue.“Your mate... that is, Lady Lyra’s father, I caught him speaking in whispers with Alpha Draven,” Ronan reported, a look of utter disbelief settling onto hi

Ace I watched her enter the fabric store and slipped inside right behind them, keeping to the shadows of the tall shelves. I bided my time, waiting for her petty maid to finally look away. The moment the girl turned to inspect a bolt of silk, I moved like a predator, dragging Lyra back into the darkness of an empty dressing stall and clapping my palm firmly over her mouth to stifle her gasp.I had intended to instantly demand answers about her voice, but looking down at her, I couldn't help but tease her first. She looked so breathtakingly pretty, so entirely innocent trapped against my chest, that the feral need to possess her roared to life inside my veins.“You talk…… hmm?” I murmured, and the way her entire body froze in my arms told me everything I needed to know. I knew my eyes hadn't deceived me at the bakery. After a few agonizing seconds, she managed to regain her composure and offered a sharp, frantic shake of her head, denying it.“Lady Lyra!” her maid’s panicked voice e

Ace I paced back and forth across the stone floor of my chambers, the memory of our encounter in the fabric store burning in my mind. I had pushed her today, cornering her in that tight space, hoping desperately that the pressure would force a single word from her lips. I had hoped she would tell me to stop. But she hadn't. She had remained completely silent, staring back at me with wide, guarded eyes.Could it be that I was just seeing things at the bakery? That it was all a trick of the light? I shook my head fiercely. No….. I didn't think so. An Alpha’s eyes didn't deceive him.“Alpha,” Ronan’s voice broke through the silence.I looked up, stopping my relentless pacing as my Ronan walked closer into the candlelight.“Hey,” I muttered, clearing my throat. “How exactly do you make a woman like you?”Ronan blinked, entirely caught off guard. “I don't know, Alpha. But my mother always used to say that women like to be showered with affection, undivided attention, and fine gifts. Tho

Ace It would be a lie to say I wasn't affected when she took my hand.I had tried to strike up a conversation during the walk to the ballroom, wanting to ensure she felt safe, but the moment we reached the center of the hall, I pulled away because Ronan was gesturing for my attention from the edge of the room. Lyra thanked me with a silent nod, her smile soft and uncertain, and I returned it before heading towards him.“What is it?” I asked as I reached him.“I haven't seen Lady Selene yet, but I found out something…”His voice was drowned out by a sudden ripple of whispers moving through the ballroom. I turned to look and saw everyone staring at Lyra.“So she’s really here...”“The rumors were right.”“She really does look ethereal.”“Look at her skin glowing under the light,” someone sneered, followed by hushed, mocking laughter.The hall erupted in whispers. I could sense her fear, the way she shrank inward as if the collective gaze of the room were physically pressing against he

Ace I was so consumed by a blinding rage that I walked straight out of the grand hall the exact moment she stepped down from the podium. I had counted them. She had taken eleven agonizing, slow steps to reach that stage, forced to endure the mocking stares of the pack. Right then and there, I promised myself that I would return that torment to Selena tenfold. A hundred and ten steps of pure, unadulterated agony.“Alpha, someone has breached the perimeter where the she-wolves are hiding,” Ronan reported urgently, falling into step beside me the moment I crossed the threshold.I didn't waste a single second. I hurried to my private chambers, tearing off my heavy formal layers and changing into light, flexible clothes suited for a hunt.By the time I returned to the courtyard, the women had already gathered at the tree line. My eyes swept frantically through the crowd, searching for one specific silhouette. The moment my gaze landed on her, the tight knot of anxiety in my chest relaxed
