Claimed by my Ex-husband's friend
“Because I thought you were using me, Leo. I thought you were just keeping me close until you got bored. So I wanted you to suffer. I wanted to see everything you built crash to the ground.”
Leo’s jaw tightened, the muscle flexing hard. His eyes darkened, and his chest rose with a heavy breath. “Flora…”
But I didn’t stop. “I planned it all. First, feed Valen just enough to make him attack you. Then, step back and let you fight, let both sides bleed and weaken each other. Then, when you were both broken, I would step in, take control, and finish it. No more Alpha, no more Valen. Just me standing on the ashes.”
