VALERIA

I was too stunned to speak as silence hung in the air like a hot iron curtain enveloping us, stealing my breath away.

How could this be?! Why was Reese here?!

After our encounter at the office, I wasn't expecting to run into him too soon.

Damn it! I wasn't ready at all.

My heart raced with a million questions.

What the hell do I do? If I left now, he would suspect that I was hiding something up my sleeves, and I didn't want that at all. That could jeopardize my plans even before I set them in motion. And besides, I really needed this property.

His widened eyes were searing as they bore into mine.

He was as confused and shocked as I was.

Nevertheless, the business must go on. I came here with one goal in mind—to purchase the property, and that was that.

I cleared my throat weakly as I prepared to take my seat across from him.

I was still dazed by this unplanned encounter as several thoughts swirled through my mind that I didn't notice I put the wrong foot forward. My heels cau

  • Can You Believe It? My Ex-Mate Wants Me Back!   Chapter 13

    REESEShe had a child.I find it hard to believe that an ambitious and incredibly gorgeous young woman with a sexy shape like hers has a child.Which could also imply that she had a husband...My heart sank.But she shook her head frantically with a nervous laugh."Of course not!" She squealed, waving me off. "It's probably my secretary's son. He must have forgotten them in my car after I dropped them off at home earlier.""Oh..." I drawled, relief washing over me.That meant I still had a chance to woo her, and nothing was standing in my way.A slow smile crept to my face as I nodded."I see. Have a good night and drive safe." She shot me a small smile and nodded."Thank you, and you too." She rolled up her window, started the engine, and then zoomed off.I heaved out a deep sigh and stared at her receding car, a persistent thought gnawing at me. I needed to find out who she was.Who the hell was Valentina Wilson, and why did she bear an uncanny resemblance to my ex-wife?Ever sinc

    CYNTHIAHe didn't even look at me as he hastily pulled up his pants, slipped into his shirt, and disappeared from the room, leaving me naked and sexually starved.What the hell was his problem?! Pain was etched on my face, but it quickly morphed into a sinister smile after he left.I chuckled to myself, a smug smile curling up at the corner of my lips.What a fool Reese was! He hadn't a clue that I knew everything.I slowly propped myself up on the bed and glanced at my drippy cunt."Fuck you, Valeria!" I hissed in anger. If it weren't because of you, Reese wouldn't have left. He would have fucked me senseless.Now, what was I supposed to do to quench this insatiable horniness writhing inside of me?I clenched my teeth in fury.However, I had some important things to do right away.Remember, you have to always be one step ahead of Reese, Cynthia. I reminded myself mentally. It would be a total disaster if Reese caught me. Hence, I needed to tread cautiously.I rose to my feet, quickly

    VALERIAWhat the hell was her problem?!Why was she stopping me over a single shirt?!"You dare argue with your Luna? I command you, Luna, to drop the clothes and let me have them!" Cynthia demanded, grating my nerves.Cynthia? My Luna?!I bit my bottom lip furiously. No way in hell was I going to acknowledge her as my Luna! The same position that originally belonged to me was the same position that she bought with lies and manipulation.If she thought I was simply going to do as she said and cower in shame, then she was in for a rude awakening.I didn't have time for her senseless games!I pushed back the brewing rage fueling inside of me and masked an indifference and resolute demeanor as I said firmly in a defiance tone,"I see, that's how a Luna should always go on a power trip just to prove herself as a Luna. Well, quite unfortunately, you're not my Luna, and I shall not, under any circumstance, obey you!"The crowd gasped, but I didn't care. Before she made me look like a fool,

    VALERIA“Miss Valentina, why are you buying a boy's clothes if you claim you don't have a child?" He quizzed me, his gaze searing and searching as he scanned the piece of clothing in my hand.I gulped, my heart racing.Bracing myself, I turned gracefully around to face Reese, wearing a grim and indifferent demeanor that masked the turbulent thoughts swirling inside of me.I met his gaze, my brows creased in mild annoyance, a storm of defiance and unease churning behind my eyes."I can't remember being obliged to explain my actions to you." My voice was firm despite the turbulent emotions writhing inside of me.Something glinted in his eyes, and his lips parted as if he was about to say something, but they clamped shut as he thought against it.Taking it as my cue to leave, I clutched the piece of clothing tighter in my grasp as if he were going to snatch it any second.I turned on my heels without looking back as I made my way out of the store, the door closing with a soft chime behin

  • Can You Believe It? My Ex-Mate Wants Me Back!   Chapter 17

    REESEI paced the massive living room with a glass of whisky in my hand as the thoughts of Valentina holding an article of child's clothing tightly in her hand crossed my mind.Why was she buying a child's clothing? Moreover, it was a male child, which I found oddly suspicious.An image of the pair of shoes I saw in the passenger's seat of her car crossed my mind, making me further suspicious.She had mentioned it was her secretary's child, whom she had dropped off earlier.But why was she buying some clothes for the child? Was she and her secretary having a thing or...I shook my head, running a wary hand through the thick curls of my hair.Maybe I was overthinking...What if she was telling the truth? Or perhaps she was just doing her secretary a favor? But that seemed more personal than work-related.'I can't remember being obliged to explain my actions to you.' Her words rang through my mind again.I clenched my jaw.Well, it looked like I was prying, but I couldn't shake the feel

    VALERIAWith anxiety gnawing at me, I paced the white corridor of the hospital.What just happened back there?!I was almost killed! I wouldn't be standing here if not for Reese, who narrowly saved my life.Oh my God! It was my fault that he was in that condition! A twinge of guilt seared through my chest.I sincerely hope his condition was not fatal!But for some reason, I couldn't even keep calm, as my thoughts were clouded with Reese. Hot tears stung at the corners of my eyes at the slim chance of losing Reese.But if he died, it would be a plus for me, rendering my revenge a success. I mean, I wouldn't have to lift a muscle or bother myself.No! Don't be foolish, Valeria! I admonished myself mentally.What was I even thinking? He saved my life! Moreover, he was not just a random stranger who happened to save my life. He was my ex-husband and mate!My wolf purred in concern as I clutched my chest. The pain in my heart was too much to bear over a man whom I had vowed never to do any

  • Can You Believe It? My Ex-Mate Wants Me Back!   Chapter 19

    VALERIAMy heart pounded with the force of a thousand galloping horses, and the pounding spread until it throbbed every fiber of my being.Each beat of my heart sent shockwaves of heat searing through my veins, clashing with the cold grip of fear that paralyzed me. It felt as though my heart suddenly froze to a hundred degrees, a paradox of burning cold and scorching heat.His lips on mine surprisingly sent a wave of warmth inside of me, erupting into a full-blown volcano, dripping lava until every nerve ending blazed with sensation.Damn it! We were so close—so dangerously close—that his awareness pricked at my skin, causing goosebumps to race across my skin. My nipples pebbled in reaction.Fuck! Something stirred in my chest as my stomach clenched uncontrollably, swelling against my ribs, so that breathing suddenly became a struggle.Why the hell was I reacting like this toward this man?! Even my wolf didn't resist.I couldn't understand it, but when his hands touched mine, a tiny c

    CYNTHIAMy breath hitched in my throat as Reese stepped into view.My jaw dropped to the floor. What the hell was he doing here?! I thought he was still in the hospital?! What was going on here? Wasn't he unconscious just yesterday? Plus, the doctor had specifically said that he might not be able to walk so soon. How come he was back up on his feet this fast?My pulse leaped as so many questions raced through my mind."Reese, how is this possible? I thought the doctor said you wouldn't be able to walk so soon." I quizzed him, eyeing him closely with disbelief and shock etched on my brows.He shrugged as if it were no big deal."It's a miracle, I guess," he responded simply, and his eyes flickered at Valentina, and something glinted in his eyes as he held her gaze.My stomach churned rapidly as fury and envy started brewing inside of me.What the hell was that? What's with that look they were giving each other? Was there something going on between the two of them that I didn't know of?

  • Can You Believe It? My Ex-Mate Wants Me Back!   Chapter 113 - Epilogue

    VALERIA And just like that, everything was beginning to look up for the better. Bree, Chase, and Cynthia were now executed, ushering a phase of new beginnings for the Blue Moon Pack. I couldn't be prouder of my kids for saving us times without numbers! With tears blurring my vision, I looked down on my kids, hugging us tightly, fighting the whirlpool of emotions threatening to spill over. They had saved me and Reese on countless occasions, and now, they had saved their grandfather, the former king, and Alpha of the Prestigious Blue Moon Pack, Marion. I couldn't believe my ears when he narrated that my twins, Dave and Derek, were the ones that appeared to him in a dream, warning him of the impending danger we were in and even guided him back to the pack he had lost track of. These kids were more powerful than I had ever imagined. They alone faced off Chase and Cynthia and even Bree. This was just another solid proof that the Moon goddess was always on our side. It had

    MARION The sound of the execution drum echoed in the distance, marking the end of an era. My heart felt heavy as I watched Bree, Cynthia, and Chase being led away to meet their fate. As they were dragged away, the sounds of chains clinking faintly in the distance. They were once part of my life—Bree, the woman I had loved so deeply, and Chase, the boy I believed was my son. But that love was a lie, a festering wound that had rotted from the inside. It was over now, and with their execution, I hoped to close the chapter on that betrayal. How did it come to this?! The weight of it all settled heavily on my chest. I never imagined it would end like this—executions carried out in the name of justice, and yet, there was no joy in my heart, no sense of victory. Only a deep, gnawing ache. I turned to face Reese. My son. My pride. And his children—my grandchildren. I had been apart from them for so long, but now, we were together again. Instead, I sought solace in the eyes o

  • Can You Believe It? My Ex-Mate Wants Me Back!   Chapter 111

    BREEI never imagined it would come to this. Banishment. Exile from the Blue Moon Pack. Fuck!I paced the cold, dimly lit hall, and I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms until it hurt. But the pain did little to calm the storm inside me. After everything I had worked so hard for, how could this be happening? My life's ambition, my every calculated move to ascend the throne, all of it now lay in ruins. The air around me felt suffocating, and my vision blurred with anger and disbelief. "Why?" I whispered, my voice trembling. "Why was this happening to me?"The answer was simple: they had found out. Reese's food. Damn it! How could I have been so careless? What a fool I’d been to let myself be caught like that. The footage was undeniable, raw, and vivid—it showed exactly how I spiked Reese’s cup of tea. No excuses, no plausible deniability. Just my treachery laid bare for all to see. And Marion. My husband. The man who had once hung on every word I said, whose loyalty I

  • Can You Believe It? My Ex-Mate Wants Me Back!   Chapter 110

    BREE When power corrupts you, it seeps into every corner of your soul, twisting your thoughts and poisoning your actions. It wasn’t immediate, not at first. In the beginning, it was ambition—an innocent desire to rise above my station. But now, as I stared at the reflection in the polished glass, I barely recognized the woman staring back at me. The effects of the black magic I’d meddled with had crept deep into my veins, making me easily irritable, my moods volatile. I found myself lashing out at the maids, the servants, even little Reese when Marion wasn’t around. Of course, I couldn’t afford to show that side of myself in his presence—not when I hadn’t yet achieved what I set out to do.I couldn’t afford for him to notice my change in behaviour, not when I was so close to everything I’d been working for. But it wasn’t just Marion standing in my way anymore. I had a far greater adversary, one I didn’t fully comprehend until it was too late.Reese. That child. The rumoured vessel

    BREE"Ahem!"A deep voice from the shadow almost made me jump.I was so blown away by the view in front of me that I didn't notice the huge king-size bed in the corner and a huge white-beard man clad in a luxurious golden robe seated on the bed, watching me intently.The Alpha! The famous Alpha Marion!!!My eyes widened in admiration and fear. He was... was there even a perfect description for a godlike Alpha wolf seated before me? He was magnificent! I had never had the honor of meeting the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack closely before. This was....surreal!I quickly fell on my knees on impulse and bowed my head, paying my respects.As omegas, we dare not stand on our feet in the presence of the Alpha and even look him in the eyes. That's how we're programmed to act anyway, but the ever-ambitious Bree had always craved more.People laughed, derided me, and called me a fool forever, believing that a beta talkless of alpha would look in my direction. Taking interest? Nah, it's never going

    BREEYou know that moment when you start hating your kids? Yep, that was the stage I was at right now.Or perhaps the dark magic was already consuming my heart, as the witch had warned.Maybe hate was a strong word, but I was indifferent, and I spent less time with her family. I was always locked in the hidden chambers, honing my dark magic skills, biding my time until it was ripe.It took me a long time, but I knew that I had to be patient if I wanted to achieve substantive results.It's been weeks since I've paid a visit to the witch, and ever since, I've been honing my skills and trying to follow the instructions she had given meticulously to avoid any complications to the spell. I needed the spell to prepare the portion that would inevitably eliminate my husband for good as the witch had promised.I was counting on her words...I had one goal in mind: to lay claim to the position of the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack. That's right. I was going to be the first female Alpha of the Blue

    BREEThen silence followed in fear that a man who was supposed to be long dead was standing right in front of everyone!The silence that followed his statement felt deafening, almost suffocating. My heart hammered in my chest, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. My mind raced, trying to make sense of what I was hearing, but it didn’t make sense. How could he be standing here after all these years?I stumbled back a step, the weight of his words pressing against my chest, making it hard to breathe. “That’s impossible. I saw it myself. There’s no way you could have survived that.”Marion’s lips curled into a grim smile, his eyes dark with the weight of his truth. “I was kidnapped, Bree. Taken far away, to another pack. One so distant I didn’t even know how to trace my way back.”I blinked, shaking my head as if I could somehow shake away his words. But they clung to me, suffocating me and pulling me down into the abyss of realization.Kidnapped? Dumped in some distant pack? But I had

    BREEFor the first time in years, I felt true fear. My entire plan, the careful manipulations, and the decades of secrecy had suddenly crumbled around me in an instant.Marion’s eyes locked on mine, cold and unforgiving. His lips curled into a bitter, twisted smile. “You thought wrong.”His voice reverberated through the hall, deep and gravelly, full of unspoken menace. I felt the room shift, the pack’s attention snapping away from me and toward him. The murmurs grew louder, a wave of uncertainty sweeping through the ranks.“Your time is over, Bree,” Marion growled, his eyes never leaving mine. “I never thought you would go this far. But now I see... I see exactly what you’ve become.”I gripped the staff tighter, the familiar surge of power flowing through me, but it did little to quell the panic rising in my chest. He wasn’t supposed to be here. He wasn’t supposed to be *alive*.“You don’t understand,” I spat, my voice rising in desperation. “I did this for us—for the pack. You were

    BREEToday, victory never tasted so sweet.I beamed at my reflection in the mirror. I was clad in an extravagant, luxurious Victorian ball dress befitting of the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack. Everything was in order, and the fact that I would soon be crowned the new Alpha sent excited shivers down my spine.The day is finally here, and all my plans have been running smoothly till the very end.Oh Marion, if only you were still alive to witness my ascend to the throne... but that would have been a bumper to my plans now, wouldn't it?It was better I got rid of you to fulfill it. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be here today.By now, Valeria and Reese, alongside their good-for-nothing twins, would have been eliminated by Chase and Cynthia as planned.A devilish grin curled up at the corner of my lips in jubilation.This was just the beginning of the new chapter that I had always wanted!How satisfying!!!A light tap on the door snapped me out of my thoughts.I adjusted my dress, smoothing it ca
