Alle Kapitel von Too Late, My Alpha Mate: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

Leora's POVMy nightmare started six months ago, the day Kyle Vera rescued Ilona Hale from a Rogue gone feral.Her memory came back scrambled. She was convinced I was the other she-wolf who'd torn her and Kyle apart. So every time she saw me, she'd point in my face and scream at me.Whenever Ilona decided she was Kyle's real mate, I had to give up the master bedroom so he could stay and settle her down for the night.That wasn't all. Whenever her episodes hit, my own son turned into her son too. For three straight months, I could only sneak in to see Owen after she'd fallen asleep.I finally reached my limit and told Kyle to get her into a proper treatment facility. He just came back with the same excuse he always used."Leora, sweetheart. My succession ceremony for Alpha of the Silver Vein Pack is coming up soon. Nothing can go wrong right now. If she starts spreading rumors to the rest of the pack, it'll turn into a family scandal and wreck my ceremony."So I gave in and let I

The air went still for a moment.Kyle stared at the papers in my hand, his expression flashing with disbelief.My chest tightened. I was trying to decide whether to say anything else when he suddenly laughed.He snatched the papers and signed his name across them without hesitation."So now you've learned how to threaten me? You can't survive without this family anyway. This is nothing but a worthless piece of paper. Either way, you're moving out today."I took back the signed papers, and a wave of relief washed over me."Fine. I'll move out right now."The moment I said it, Kyle's expression flickered, irritation rolling off him in waves.He took a deep breath and stepped closer, like he wanted to say something.That was when Ilona's voice rang out from inside the house."Sweetheart! Where are you?"Kyle spun around instantly and called back, "I'll be right there!"He walked off without a second thought, all the way to the doorway, before he seemed to remember I was still

Kyle's eyes stayed locked on the torn certificate, and something in them went cold in an instant.He probably hadn't expected me to destroy proof of our mate bond so easily.After all, there was a time when I used to pull it out and look at it nearly every single day.The day we got that certificate, I'd had it framed behind glass and set it on my nightstand so I could admire it.Kyle used to tease me about it every time he caught me staring at it."You really love that piece of paper that much?""It's not just a piece of paper," I'd corrected him, dead serious.It was proof that after loving him for over a decade, I'd finally earned my place beside him.And now I'd torn that proof apart with my own hands.Kyle's eyes stayed fixed on the ruined paper. He must have finally noticed something had shifted in me, because he lifted his head and looked at me, heavy with something unreadable."Leora, you..."Before he could finish, Ilona lunged forward and yanked the gun straight ou

Third-person POVKyle spent the whole day trailing Ilona through luxury boutiques while she ran up a bill that could have bought two more houses.He didn't care about the money, but by the end of it, even he was worn out.Sitting by a floor-to-ceiling window flipping through a magazine to pass the time, he happened to glance up and catch a plane crossing the sky.For some reason, his chest tightened, and Leora's face rose up in his mind out of nowhere.Thinking back on it, in six full years of their relationship, he'd never once gone shopping with Leora.Actually, that wasn't quite right. Leora had never spent a cent of his money on anything luxurious at all.She'd always lived simply, never wore jewelry, and dressed in whatever was on sale. The handful of nice, expensive things in her closet were only there because he'd given them to her as gifts.Her meals were just as simple. If he and Owen were home, she'd cook up a whole spread of everything they loved. But if it was just

Kyle looked at Owen, who had no idea what was going on. The young pup was still absorbed in a game on his phone.Kyle forced himself to stay calm and reasoned it out. "Leora treasures Owen more than her own life. There's no way she'd give up custody of him. Did she put you up to this? What did she promise you to make up something this ridiculous?"The breathing on the other end of the line went quiet for a moment before Simon said only one thing. "I'm not joking, Alpha Kyle."Something cold settled over Kyle all at once.He pulled up the full paperwork Simon had sent, and it suddenly hit him that he'd personally signed this very bond-severing application himself.It had been two weeks ago, the day he'd blocked Leora at the door and told her to move out.She'd demanded he sign that document.At the time, he'd figured she was just upset. He thought that she'd never actually use a piece of paper like that even if he signed it.But now...Kyle's eyes went bloodshot.He read throu
