Semua Bab HE CHEATED, I MATED WITH HIS UNCLE : Bab 61 - Bab 70

ZARA'S POV.When Rider spotted me, he frowned, pushed off the wall and marched straight over."Where the hell are you coming from at this time of the morning?" Rider demanded, his voice dropping into a harsh growl. He sniffed the air aggressively, his nostrils flaring. "And why on earth do you smell like the scent of another man?!"I let out a sharp, incredulous laugh, planting my hands firmly on my hips. "Where I'm coming from is none of your damn business, Rider."Without any warning, Rider lunged forward and grabbed me tightly by the wrist, his fingers biting into my skin. "Have you seriously started selling your body to random strangers?!" he yelled, his face twisting in fury. "Are you cheating on me, Zara?!"I yanked my hand away from his grip with a fierce, angry jerk, stepping back and giving him a cold, mocking smirk."Cheating on you?" I scoffed, shaking my head. "Rider, are you delusional? We are broken up. You made your choice the second you chose Serena over me. Our bond i

ZARA:After I wrapped up my chat with Jeremy—the cute guy I had just matched with on the dating app—I swiped out of the chat screen and unlocked the message from my mother.The message read: Zara, sweetheart, I haven't heard from you since our last argument. I hope you're not angry with me. Mummy was just trying to look out for our family. And it seems I'm right about insisting you get back together with Rider. Because someone just anonymously hired a top-tier private cardiologist to come into the facility and take full care of your father's health while he's still in custody. And who else would be kind enough to do that if not Rider?I scoffed. I didn't need a fortune teller to figure out who was behind that. It was obviously Darius, not Rider. Rider didn't have a good heart. I'm not even sure if he had a heart at all. A confusing mix of emotions swirled in my chest. If Darius really didn't care about me—especially after he casually tossed me off to a driver this morning without bot

ZARA:"Does... does your father happen to have a girlfriend?”Luna blinked at me, her expression instantly shutting down like a steel trap.“It's really not my place to discuss my father's personal life," Luna said, crossing her arms and looking totally serious. "If you're that curious about his love life, why don't you just summon the courage and ask him yourself?"My face instantly flushed red, hot embarrassment burning all the way up to the tips of my ears. I felt like a complete idiot for even asking.Trying to salvage my dignity as fast as humanly possible, I cleared my throat and quickly changed the subject. "Right. Sorry, you're totally right. Um... hey, by the way, if you're ever interested, I could actually teach you a few things about jewelry design. As the heir to the Stormfang Group, you would one day take over from your father. And it would be to your advantage if you knew a thing or two about jewelry designs since the company is into fashion. I've got tons of professiona

DARIUS:I watched the girl sitting across from me, trying to read the expression on her face. Scarlett, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. But pretty girls were always trouble. Like Amber.As if she read my thoughts, my mother prattled on about how this new girl was completely different from Amber.​"She comes from a pristine Alpha lineage, Darius," Mother was saying, her tone practically dripping with approval. "She's brilliantly educated, deeply cultured, and impeccably well-behaved."I kept nodding. ​My mind, however, stubbornly drifted right back to Zara.​She might have infuriated me with the way she acted that night, but the truth remained: I still wanted her. Grey, my inner wolf, practically whimpered with approval whenever Zara was even remotely close. And don't forget she was the only female who had been able to make me have an erection in three years.​That didn't mean, however, that I couldn't flirt with this beautiful Scarlett girl. I wasn't going to sit around acting

ZARA:Luna knelt back down beside me on the mystic mat."Get ready," she instructed, her voice dropping into a rhythmic, hypnotic tone. "That ancient seal your parents placed on your soul is heavy, Zara. I'm going to have to reach past the blood-magic barrier and break the chains piece by piece. Just relax, breathe through the shock, and let me guide your spirit."I closed my eyes tightly, lying flat on my back as Luna placed both hands firmly against my chest once again.This time, the energy in the ancient stone temple felt completely different. The blinding light of the super moon poured through the glass skylight, flooding the room with silver power. Luna began chanting in a deep, resonant voice that vibrated straight through my bones.Suddenly, I felt a sharp, burning sensation deep inside my chest—like ice water meeting molten lava.In my mind's eye, I could see thick, black, thorny vines wrapped tightly around a brilliant, blindingly white wolf deep inside my subconscious.
