DEAR EX, I AM YOUR UNCLE'S MATE Chapter 10
The darkness pressed in around me as I lay awake, staring at the ceiling of Elijah’s guest room. The house was eerily quiet, every creak of the wood and gust of wind outside only amplifying the suffocating stillness. I had tried to sleep, tried to push the events of the day out of my mind, but it was impossible.Damian’s face, twisted with fury and pain, haunted me. Elijah’s words, his touch, lingered like a shadow I couldn’t shake. I felt like I was drowning, trapped in a situation that had spun far out of my control.I threw off the covers, sitting up on the edge of the bed. My heart raced, my chest tight with the overwhelming need to escape. I couldn’t stay here. Not in this house. Not with Elijah’s mark still burning on my skin.I need to leave.The thought pounded in my mind, growing louder with each passing second. I couldn’t keep letting these men control me. Damian’s erratic behavior was spiraling, and Elijah… Elijah was something else entirely. He was possessive in ways I d

The cold air bit at my skin as I ran through the darkness, the world around me a blur. My breath came in sharp gasps, my heart pounding in my chest.Every step felt heavier than the last, my body fighting to keep moving even though my mind screamed for me to stop.I didn’t know where I was going. I didn’t care. All I knew was that I had to get away. From Elijah. From Damian. From the life that had become a prison of twisted loyalties and shattered trust.But no matter how far I ran, the weight of their influence clung to me like a shadow, haunting every thought, every decision. I could still hear Elijah’s voice echoing in my mind: You’ll be back.A shiver ran through me, not from the cold, but from the truth in his words. I hated how much power he still held over me, how his voice lingered even when he wasn’t there. And Damian—his possessiveness, his fury—it all felt like a cage, closing in around me.I slowed my pace, my legs trembling as exhaustion finally caught up with me. The for

The silence that followed my words was suffocating, the weight of my declaration hanging in the air like a storm about to break. Damian and Elijah stood on either side of me, their eyes burning with an intensity that made the forest around us feel too small, too confining. I could feel the power of their rivalry simmering just beneath the surface, ready to explode at any moment. But this time, I wasn’t going to let them pull me into it. This time, I wasn’t just a bystander in their battle. “You’re done being a pawn?” Damian’s voice was low, mocking, his eyes narrowing as he stepped closer. “You don’t even know what game you’re playing, Annabel.” Elijah remained silent, his gaze fixed on me, his expression unreadable. But I could feel his presence, like a shadow looming just behind me, waiting for me to make my move. “I know enough,” I said, my voice steady despite the fear that coiled tight in my chest. “And I’m not going to let either of you control me anymore.” Damian’s lips

The silence that followed the fight was suffocating, the tension thick in the air. Damian lay on the ground, struggling to catch his breath, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. Elijah stood over him, his chest heaving, his eyes dark and unreadable. But it wasn’t over—it couldn’t be.I could feel it.A low growl rumbled from Damian’s throat as he tried to push himself up, his hands trembling from the effort. I wanted to move, to stop this madness before it escalated any further, but my feet felt rooted to the ground, frozen in place by the intensity of the moment. It was as if I was watching from a distance, detached from the chaos unfolding before me.Elijah’s gaze flicked toward me, his eyes cold, almost calculating. There was something in the way he looked at me now—a knowing, an expectation. He wasn’t just here to fight Damian. He was here to prove something—to me, to Damian, and maybe even to himself.This isn’t just a fight for control. This was a declaration of power, a

The forest was quiet after Elijah disappeared into the shadows, but the tension still lingered, thick and suffocating. I stood there, my heart pounding, my mind racing with everything that had just happened. Damian’s low growls faded as he staggered to his feet, but I didn’t look at him. I couldn’t. My thoughts were consumed by the power that pulsed inside me, growing stronger with each passing second.I could still feel the weight of Elijah’s words: You can’t run from who you are forever.But who was I becoming?The darkness inside me stirred, a fire that burned hotter with every breath. I had felt its pull when I watched Elijah and Damian fight, felt the thrill of their violence, the intoxicating allure of their power. And I hated that I wanted more of it.I took a shaky breath, my fists clenched at my sides. This wasn’t who I was supposed to be. I wasn’t supposed to crave control, to relish the power that was growing inside me. But the more I tried to push it away, the more it con

The wolf’s eyes burned with suspicion, and I could feel the tension thickening between us. His stance was rigid, his expression hard—like he had already made up his mind about what I had become.I didn’t blame him. After everything that had happened, after everything Elijah had awakened in me, I wasn’t the same person. I could feel it in the way I moved, the way I spoke. The darkness inside me was becoming harder to contain, and no matter how much I tried to control it, it kept slipping through the cracks.“You’ve changed,” he said again, his voice laced with accusation.I clenched my fists at my sides, my pulse quickening. “I’m still me.”But even as the words left my mouth, I knew they weren’t true. I wasn’t the same Annabel they had known. I wasn’t the same girl who had feared the wolves, who had been controlled by their rules and their hierarchy. I was something else now—something they didn’t understand. Something I wasn’t sure I understood myself.The wolf took another step towa

The clearing felt too small, too charged with tension as Damian and Elijah faced off once again. I could feel the power crackling between them, dangerous and volatile, but this time I wasn’t just an observer. This time, I was part of it. The darkness Elijah had awakened inside me stirred, restless, as if it sensed what was coming.But I wasn’t going to let myself be swept into their game.“Annabel,” Damian growled, his voice thick with frustration. “Get away from him. You don’t understand what he’s planning.”I stood my ground, my pulse racing, but I didn’t move. I was done letting them pull me between their rivalry, done letting them decide what I should do.“Elijah’s using you,” Damian continued, his eyes burning with desperation. “He’s manipulating you, just like he’s always done. He’s only after power.”Elijah remained silent beside me, his expression unreadable. He didn’t need to defend himself—his presence alone spoke volumes.I could feel his power, the way it pulsed just bene

The forest stretched out before me, dark and endless, as I walked deeper into the trees, away from Elijah, away from Damian, and away from everything that had been pulling me apart for so long. The further I moved, the quieter the world seemed to become, but inside me, the storm raged.I wasn’t running. Not this time. I was leaving with purpose. Elijah’s words still echoed in my mind—You won’t survive without us—but I refused to let them have power over me. I had spent too long letting them decide my fate, and now, for the first time, I was choosing my own path.But even as I pushed forward, the darkness that Elijah had awakened in me pulsed like a second heartbeat, growing stronger with every step. I couldn’t ignore it any longer. I could feel it changing me, pulling me toward something I didn’t fully understand. And the worst part? A part of me wanted it.You’re not free yet.The whisper crawled through my mind, a dark reminder that I was still tethered to something beyond my contro

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
