DEAR EX, I AM YOUR UNCLE'S MATE Chapter 41
“I don’t need your help,” I said, my voice shaking despite my efforts to remain calm. “But I need to stop Elijah.”Damian’s eyes softened, the tension between us shifting as he stepped closer. “Then let me help you. I know how Elijah thinks. I can get you inside before he sets his plan in motion.”I stared at him, my chest tightening. There was a part of me that wanted to turn him away, to reject any offer of help from someone who had once been my greatest enemy. But there was another part of me—a quieter, more desperate part—that knew I couldn’t do this alone. Elijah was too far gone. And if what Damian said was true, we didn’t have time for pride.“Fine,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “But if you betray me—”“I won’t,” Damian cut in, his gaze steady. “Not this time.”I didn’t respond. I couldn’t. The words hung between us like a fragile thread, too delicate to examine, too dangerous to trust. But I had made my choice.The council hall loomed ahead, its darkened stone wal

“You can’t keep doing this, Annabel.”Kara’s voice cut through the fog in my mind. I hadn’t realized how long I’d been sitting there, staring at the blood on my hands, at the spot where Damian’s body had just been. I wiped my palms on my shirt, but the stain—physical and emotional—wouldn’t go away.I looked up at Kara, her expression torn between frustration and concern. Behind her, Zane stood silently, his gaze heavy with judgment. I knew what they were thinking. Damian’s death, Elijah’s escape—it all fell on me.“I didn’t ask for this,” I said, my voice quieter than I intended.“You didn’t have to,” Za

“Elijah, it’s over,” I said, my voice steady even though my heart was racing.His smile widened, something dark flickering behind his eyes. “You keep saying that, Annabel. But if it were really over, you wouldn’t still be standing in front of me, trying to save something that’s already broken.”He stepped forward, slow, calculated, and I held my ground. I could hear the wolves shifting around us, Kara and Zane just out of my line of sight, waiting for the moment to strike. But this wasn’t about them anymore. This was between Elijah and me.“You’ve destroyed enough,” I said, my grip tightening around my blade. “The pack can’t survive under your rule. You know that.”Elijah tilted his head, his smile fading. “You think I care about the pack? About wolves who have betrayed me over and over again? You don’t understand, do you? I’m not here to lead. I’m here to end it.”My chest tightened. This was exactly what Damian had warned me about. Elijah didn’t care about power—he wanted to destroy

Elijah’s brother wasn’t one for patience. He barely waited before stepping closer, his eyes narrowing in on me. “Funny, isn’t it?” His words cut through the tension like a knife, each syllable deliberate. “Family always shows up when you least want it.”I was tired of this already. “I don’t care who you are or what your problem is with Elijah. What do you want?” My voice came out sharp, unforgiving, but I didn’t care. There was no time for this.His attention shifted to me—slowly, like a predator deciding if the prey was worth the effort. “I want the truth.” His smile was nothing more than a twitch, cold and devoid of any humor.Before I could respond, Elijah’s growl sliced through the air. “You’re not finding anything here. Leave.” He stepped forward, his muscles coiled, te

“You’re just going to let him go?” Kara’s voice cut through the silence, laced with frustration and disbelief.I felt the weight of her gaze but didn’t turn to meet it. My eyes stayed on the spot where Elijah had been led away, disappearing into the darkness. “It’s over, Kara. There’s no point in dragging this out any longer.”She moved in front of me, her expression fierce, refusing to let me brush her off. “So that’s it? After everything he’s done, after the way he used you and manipulated the entire pack, you’re just going to let him walk away?”My hands clenched at my sides, anger simmering beneath the surface. “What would you have me do, Kara?” I demanded, my voice sharper than I intended. “Kill him? That won’t bring back the lives he destroyed. It won’t undo the damage he caused.”Kara’s eyes narrowed, defiance flickering in her gaze. “Maybe not. But it would make a statement. It would show the pack that you’re strong enough to stand up to him, that you won’t let him walk away af

“You have no idea what you’ve started,” Kara snapped, her voice sharp as a blade, slicing through the suffocating silence that surrounded us. She wasn’t asking. She was accusing.I barely flinched. “I know exactly what I’m doing.”Her eyes flashed with disbelief, anger sparking beneath the surface. “Do you? Because from where I’m standing, it looks like you’re leading us into another bloodbath. Elijah may be gone, but the pack is more fractured than ever. What happens when they turn on you? What happens when they turn on us?”I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms to keep from snapping back. “I’m not blind, Kara.”“Then stop acting like it!” Her words echoed in the room, the wolves gathered around us silent, watching. “They’re scared, Annabel. They’ve lost faith. And you’re just sitting here waiting for the pieces to magically fall back into place.”A growl rumbled low in my throat, but I swallowed it down. “I’m not waiting. I’m trying to stop this pack from tearing itsel

“Annabel, you’ve lost control.”Zane’s voice was like a slap, sharp and unexpected. He blocked my path the moment I stepped out of the meeting hall, his eyes blazing with accusation.I tensed, arms crossing defensively. “Excuse me?” I didn’t try to hide the edge in my voice, but his words had already struck home. Deep.“You heard me,” he shot back, his stare unflinching. “The pack’s divided, and you’re standing there pretending like it isn’t. You’ve been too focused on—” He hesitated, his eyes narrowing. “On things that don’t matter.”A surge of anger flared in my chest. “Things that don’t matter?” My voice sharpened, cutting through the tension. “I’ve done nothing but try to hold us together! You think that’s easy?”“What I think,” Zane said, stepping closer, his voice dropping to a dangerous tone, “is that you’ve forgotten what it means to lead.”His words twisted in my gut, but I swallowed the hurt. “And what would you have me do, Zane? Elijah’s influence still hangs over us, and y

“If you won’t tell them, I will.”The rogue’s voice, sharp and biting, cut through the clearing like a blade. It stopped me in my tracks, forcing me to turn toward him. His eyes were hard, gleaming with a dangerous satisfaction. The wolves around us shifted uneasily, sensing the tension crackling between us.“You think you can walk into my pack and make demands?” My voice stayed even, but my pulse hammered in my ears. This rogue was pushing me, testing the limits of my control. Every part of me screamed to tear him down, but I couldn't give him that satisfaction. Not yet.He smirked, an expression that sent a ripple of doubt through the wolves gathered around us. “Your pack?” His laugh was low and cold. “You say that like it means something.” His gaze shifted to the wolves watching us. “But from where I’m standing, all I see is a leader who’s lost control.”The murmurs started—a ripple of unease spreading through the pack. He was poisoning them, his words planting seeds of doubt that

DEAR EX, I AM YOUR UNCLE'S MATE Chapter 190
Damian hit the ground hard, the impact jarring every bone in his body. His wolf surged forward, dulling the pain as he rolled to his side, instinctively shielding Annabel. Dust swirled around them, choking the air.“Damian,” Annabel croaked, gripping his arm.“I’m here,” he said, helping her sit up. She was bruised but alive. Relief flooded him for a fleeting moment before the sound of footsteps—calm, deliberate—drew his attention.Elijah emerged from the shadows, his figure illuminated by a faint glow emanating from strange markings on the cavern walls. His confidence radiated like a predator circling its prey.“You’re persistent,” Elijah said, his voice low and measured. “But persistence without power is just stubbornness.”Damian rose to his feet, his claws already extending. “You talk too much.”Elijah tilted his head, unbothered. “And you’re too impulsive. That’s why you’ll lose.”Annabel struggled to stand, leaning against Damian for support. “You don’t need me to stop him,” she
DEAR EX, I AM YOUR UNCLE'S MATE Chapter 189
The sound of Elijah’s laughter echoed through the darkness of the collapsed cave. It taunted Damian as he tried to focus on Annabel’s weak breathing. His wolf senses adjusted to the pitch-black surroundings, honing in on the faint heartbeat that kept him grounded.“Elijah!” Damian’s voice was raw, a command that ricocheted off the rocky walls. “Face me!”The only response was the steady drip of water from somewhere deeper within the cavern.“Damian,” Annabel whispered, her voice a frail thread. “Don’t—”He knelt beside her, carefully loosening the ropes that bound her wrists. “We’re getting out of here,” he said firmly. “Stay with me.”“You don’t understand.” Her eyes fluttered open, dim but focused. “This is what he wanted. He’s not here to fight. He’s here to break you.”Damian stilled, her words striking something deep within him. But before he could respond, the ground beneath them trembled, a reminder of the unstable cavern.“Then he failed,” Damian growled. “Because I’m not givi
DEAR EX, I AM YOUR UNCLE'S MATE Chapter 188
The forest stood still in the aftermath of Elijah’s escape, the silence almost mocking. Damian stared at the empty space where Elijah had disappeared with Annabel, his breathing uneven. His claws dug into the dirt, his body trembling with the effort to hold back the wolf clawing for dominance. Kara staggered forward, clutching her injured side, but her gaze never left Damian.“Damian,” she rasped, her voice tight with pain. “We can still track him.”He didn’t answer. The pack around them waited, the weight of his next decision pressing like a storm ready to break.“Track him?” Damian’s voice was low, almost too calm. He turned to Kara, his eyes alight with fury. “Do you think he’s stupid enough to leave a trail we can follow?”“We can try,” she shot back. “Sitting here won’t help her!”Damian’s snarl silenced her, but it wasn’t just anger; it was despair. He ran a hand through his hair, pacing in circles like a predator in a cage. Finally, he turned to his second-in-command, Jacob.“S
DEAR EX, I AM YOUR UNCLE'S MATE Chapter 187
Damian’s growl echoed through the silent room. His fists slammed against the worn oak table, splintering its edge. "You let him get inside your head?" His glare bore into Annabel, who still looked pale and shaken from fainting. Her silence, far from submissive, was deliberate—a choice to observe before reacting."I didn’t let him do anything," she replied, her voice hoarse but steady. "Elijah’s power isn’t something you simply shut out.""Don’t defend him!" Damian’s voice cracked, a mix of fury and pain. He paced the room, hands clenching and unclenching. His wolf stirred beneath his skin, desperate for release. "Do you even know what you've done? You handed him the one thing he needed—us divided."Annabel winced. She hated that he was right. Elijah’s manipulation had left fractures between her and Damian, widening a rift that already felt unbridgeable. She drew a shaky breath, steadying herself before she spoke again."I made a mistake," she admitted, her gaze meeting his. "But I did
DEAR EX, I AM YOUR UNCLE'S MATE Chapter 186
Damian’s claws dug into the quarry floor, his stance protective as he stepped in front of Annabel. The beast roared again, its guttural sound echoing across the rock walls. The figure beside it moved with eerie calm, their smile never wavering as they studied the three.“Annabel,” the figure said smoothly, ignoring Damian and Elijah entirely. “I’ve been waiting to meet you.”Annabel’s heart slammed against her ribs. “Who are you?”The figure chuckled, tilting their head. “I have so many names, but for now, call me the one who holds the leash.” Their hand gestured lazily toward the beast, which snarled, saliva dripping from its jagged teeth.“Doesn’t look like you’ve got much control,” Elijah said, his voice cold. His eyes flicked to the beast’s hulking frame, scanning for weaknesses.The figure’s smile faltered for a moment before sharpening again. “It obeys enough. And when I’m done with it, it will obey her.”Annabel’s blood ran cold. “What do you mean?”The figure ignored her quest
DEAR EX, I AM YOUR UNCLE'S MATE Chapter 185
The beast emerged from the shadows behind the hunters, its form larger than any wolf Annabel had ever seen. Its massive shoulders brushed tree trunks as it stalked forward, its yellow eyes glowing with an unnatural light. The hunters froze, their weapons shifting uneasily in their hands.The leader cursed under his breath. “What is that thing?”Damian didn’t respond. He stepped protectively in front of Annabel, his claws extending again. Elijah’s stance mirrored his, though his eyes never left the creature as it growled, low and rumbling, shaking the air around them.“They didn’t bring it,” Elijah said quietly, his voice calm but taut. “That’s not theirs.”The scarred leader gestured sharply to his men, who reluctantly repositioned, their crossbows trained on the beast. “Stand down!” he barked at the wolves they controlled. “Focus on the target!”The controlled wolves whimpered but obeyed, forming a wary line between their masters and the newcomers. Annabel gritted her teeth, gripping

Damian’s eyes locked with Elijah’s, the air between them charged with unspoken challenges. Annabel stood in the middle, her hand raised as though it alone could stop the inevitable.“Elijah,” she said sharply, her voice cutting through their silent exchange. “We can’t do this now. Not here.”But Elijah wasn’t looking at her. His hybrid features were sharp, predatory, and utterly focused on Damian. “He’s afraid to act,” Elijah said with a calmness that made the insult sting harder. “That’s why he hesitates. He knows if he crosses me, he won’t survive.”Damian stepped forward, his tone like steel. “You’ve underestimated me before. How did that work out for you?”Annabel’s frustration boiled over. “Enough!” She turned to Damian, her expression pleading. “This isn’t the fight we need to win right now.”Damian’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t break eye contact with Elijah. “You think he can be trusted to stay in line? Look at him.”“I’m right here,” Elijah interjected, a cold smile spreading
DEAR EX, I AM YOUR UNCLE'S MATE Chapter 183
Damian’s shout came too late. The rogue leader’s massive jaws clamped down on empty air as Annabel twisted away at the last second, rolling to the ground. Elijah lunged, his claws slashing in an arc that forced the beast back, buying her a moment to scramble to her feet.Annabel’s breath came in short gasps. Her eyes darted to the pack, holding their line against the remaining rogues. “We can’t hold this forever,” she muttered, gripping the silver dagger she’d taken from Damian.“You don’t have to,” Elijah replied. His voice was eerily calm, but his gaze stayed locked on the rogue leader. “This ends now.”“Care to share the plan?” Damian growled, sidling up beside them. Blood streaked his face, and his sword was slick with gore.Elijah smirked, but there was no humor in it. “Keep it busy.”Damian swore under his breath. “Brilliant. Why didn’t I think of that?”Before Annabel could say anything, the rogue leader let out a guttural snarl and charged again. Damian moved instinctively, ra
DEAR EX, I AM YOUR UNCLE'S MATE Chapter 182
Damian barely dodged the blow, the rogue’s claws swiping past his ribs. He twisted, bringing his blade upward in a brutal arc that caught his opponent beneath the jaw. Blood splattered, but there was no time to celebrate the kill. Another rogue was already charging.“Elijah!” Damian yelled, blocking the next attack with a grunt. “A little help would be great!”Elijah stood motionless, his sharp eyes fixed on Annabel. She was kneeling just behind them, her shoulders rising and falling with labored breaths. Her connection to the barrier was gone, but the remnants of her effort left her pale and trembling.“She can’t hold much longer,” Elijah muttered to himself.“Neither can I!” Damian barked, shoving the rogue back with a kick.Elijah’s expression darkened, and with a low snarl, he finally moved. He intercepted the next attacker with blinding speed, slamming the rogue into the ground with a sickening crunch. His hybrid strength was terrifying, even to Damian, but right now, it was the
