All Chapters of HE CHEATED, I MATED WITH HIS UNCLE : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

CHAPTER 2: I'M NOT ACCEPTING THAT REJECTION ZARA:He let out a scoff, a look of pure arrogance crossing his face. He stepped closer, towering over me, trying to use his Alpha presence to intimidate me into submission. "No way in hell. You’re my goddess-given mate, Zara. It’s 'til death do us part.' I’m not letting you go.""I’m not asking for your permission," I spat, my voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. "If you don't reject me, then I’m gonna reject you. Right here, right now."Rider’s eyes turned cold, devoid of any warmth. He leaned in, his voice a low, threatening growl. "You won't dare. You know the law, Zara. You try to reject an Alpha without his consent? You’ll go mad. Your wolf will rip your mind apart before the words even leave your mouth. You’ll be nothing but a drooling husk."I looked him in the eye, not flinching. "Then I guess I’ll just have to be the first one to break the cycle. Because I cannot continue to be humiliated by you.” I raised one hand up and spoke

CHAPTER 4: I DIDN'T PUSH HERZARA:I stood at the corner, watching Rider type furiously on his phone. Then the memories of our days together flooded my head. Three years ago, I was just an Omega from a small pack, a girl with parents who had no ranks and even less money. Rider had been my hero then. We met during the full moon festival and when he found out I was his mate, he’d picked me up, paid for my college, and treated me like I was the only thing that mattered in his world. I was his princess, his everything.Then, six months ago, Serena walked into the picture. She showed up with a sob story about a divorce from an "abusive marriage," and Rider fell over himself to accommodate her. Being the daughter of a powerful Alpha, she fit his world way better than I did. He claimed Robert, Zara's brother, died several years ago trying to save him from the Rogues. “I owe her, Zara,” he always told me. I’d heard that line so many times it sounded like a broken record.I sighed, then took a

CHAPTER 6: WHO HURT YOU?DARIUS:I stepped out of the bathroom, the cool air hitting my skin, and saw a girl in silk perched on my bed. At first, I just concluded she was one of my flings sneaking in to surprise me. She probably bribed the concierge for a key, looking for a little midnight entertainment. But as I grabbed a towel to dry my hair, the vibe felt… off.I took a closer look. I’d never seen this face before. I’ve had numerous girls warm my bed since Adore, my mate, died. But I could make out their faces anytime. I've got a photographic memory for faces—part of the job description when you’re dealing with international pack treaties and high-stakes business deals—and she definitely wasn't one of the girls I've bedded.If she wasn't one of my flings, then who was she? And why was she in my suit? Probably an agent?That thought hit me instantly. My life is a constant game of chess with people who want to see me fall. I’ve stepped on plenty of toes, and there are more than a f

CHAPTER 8: NO HELP FROM DARIUS ZARA:The phone’s shrill ring cut through the heavy, suffocating silence of the suite like a blade. I was still reeling, my heart hammering against my ribs, humiliated by the way Darius had turned to stone the moment I’d kissed him. I felt like a fool for thinking that just because he served me dinner and poured me a glass of wine, he was into me. “I'm sorry,” I said, pulling away from him.My hand shook as I pulled my phone from my bag. The screen lit up, displaying Mom in bold letters. A strange, cold dread washed over me; my heart skipped a beat, not out of excitement, but out of pure, gut-wrenching instinct. I swiped to answer, pressing the phone to my ear. "Hello? Mom?""Zara," my mother’s voice came through, trembling and thin, like she was holding back a tidal wave of grief. "You need to come home. Immediately. There’s… there’s trouble here, Zara. So much trouble.""What is it, Mom? What happened?" My voice rose, bordering on panic. "Where’s Dad

CHAPTER 10: MORE TROUBLESZARA:I was leaning against the brick wall of the tenement, my breath hitching as I replayed Serena’s pathetic plea in my head. Rider might die if I didn't come to save him, she’d said. The last thing I wanted was to ever set my foot on the Stormfang pack house again. But saving Rider meant my father could also be saved. He was the only one I currently knew who could help me get my father out of that cell. I was just about to take out my phone and order another Uber ride to the Stormfang pack when the door behind me creaked open. My mother stumbled out, her face deathly pale, looking like she’d seen a ghost. She was clutching her chest, her breathing coming in jagged, wheezing gasps. She looked frantic, her eyes wide and unfocused."Mom? What’s wrong?" I spun around, grabbing her by the elbows to steady her.She looked at me, a tear tracking through the mud on her cheek. "My heart, Zara… there’s an ache. A sharp, burning pain." She gripped my forearm, her f
