All Chapters of MY FATED MATE NOW CALLS ME AUNTIE: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Laura's POVMy eyes widened as I stared at him. I couldn't believe what had just come out of my mouth. My weak wolf, that had barely stirred in all my nineteen years of life, had just called Ryan mate.Ryan stared back at me. His eyes were wide and his chest was rising and falling like he'd just run a very long distance. For a second, I thought he forgot how to breathe.We stood there frozen, the world around us fading away. It was just him and me…and the bond that was slowly forming between us.I could feel it now, a golden thread connecting my heart to his.I didn't know how long we stood staring at each other through the haze when Sasha's voice brought us back."Ryan!" She appeared beside him and wrapped her arm around his. He blinked and looked away from me. The spell was broken. "What are you doing here? Are you joining us for dinner?"Ryan didn't answer. He just kept staring at me with this strange expression on his face.Sasha's eyes followed his gaze and landed on me. Her smil

Laura's POVI was blindfolded and left on a high podium, still fighting my way to get free, still wearing the lingerie that was thin and flimsy and covered almost nothing, the cold air biting against my skin while I felt everyone's eyes on me.I heard the low laughter of men from the distance and that was how I knew I was being watched, that I was being auctioned.My heart was breaking and my wolf was falling inside me, overwhelmed by the weight of betrayal because I couldn't believe he had gone this far, that he had sold me for the night.He had set me up here after everything, after he had promised to make me his mate in front of everyone.And the lingerie I had worn for him, the one I had stolen just so I could look beautiful in his eyes. I had never done anything like that before. It wasn't me, but I had done it for him because I wanted to feel worthy of him.How stupid I was!Now he had set me up here on display for other men to bid on.The officiate’s voice rang out as he starte

Chapter 6Laura’s POVThe tires of the heavy black SUV crunched against the wet gravel of Moon River's outer gate, finally grinding to a complete halt. I sat glued to the leather seats, clenching Alpha Ryder's dark coat around my bare shoulders so tightly that my knuckles turned white. Outside the tinted windows, massive iron gates swung open, revealing a towering estate built from dark river stones. It loomed against the ink-black night sky like a sleeping beast….silent, ancient, and imposing. My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird. My skin burned hot and cold in violet waves as the fever for my broken mate bond raged on inside me, a constant reminder of Ryan's cruelty on that auction stage. Ryder didn't say a word, didn't offer a comforting look, nor did he ask if I was all right. He simply pushed open his door, stepping out into the crisp night air. Through the open door, I watched the immediate, terrifying shift in the four guards stationed at the grand entrance

Laura’s POV"I heard him," I whispered, my voice barely carrying over the crackle of the fire as I stood in the dark hallway outside Ryder's private study.The dark hallway felt as though it were shrinking around me, suffocating the very breath from my lungs.I pressed my palm hard over my mouth to smother the desperate sob rising in my throat, stepping backwards into the shadow until my shoulder hit the cold stone wall of the corridor.It was my fault.The realization hit me with the force of a physical blow, sharper and more merciless than any whip Sasha had ever brought down across my spine.I had allowed myself to be carried away by soft sheets, warm baths, and respectful smiles. I had let myself…myself forget that back in the dark, damp sculleries of Silvercrest, my mother was still breathing in the dust and damp.I had escaped, and now Lionel Preston was going to break her bone by bone simply to punish me for leaving.Inside the study, the sharp beep of the speaker signaled that

Laura’s POV The moment the heavy wooden door of Ryder's study closed behind him, I moved fast, my hand throbbing under the bandage he had just wrapped around my palm. But I barely paid attention to the pain. My heart was pounding so hard against my ribs I could feel it in my throat. I snatched the leather-bound document off his desk, tucked it under my dress, and hurried through the dark hallway back to my room. Once I was inside, I locked the door, sat on the edge of the mattress, and put the file into my lap under the lamp. The pages were old and yellowed, filled with official records and territorial maps. Right near the top, my mother's full name was clearly written: Elena Thornhart. Seeing her name wasn't what made my breath hitch. It was what was written right beside it. Her name was officially listed under the lineage records of Moonblood Pack, next to a small hand-drawn symbol of a crescent moon wrapped around a dagger. A heavy knot formed in my stomach. My mother had rais
