Spoiled by my Ex's Uncle 3

All I know was that my heart was in pain, immense pain that I had no recollection of how I went back to my room, or how I managed to make it through the night. By the time morning came, the sun filtered through the slightly opened curtains, peeping in soft golden lights across the room, a huge contrast to what my heart was feeling. 

The spot beside me on the bed, where Matt should have been, was cold and empty. I felt none of the warmth I’d once enjoyed waking up beside him.

He hadn’t returned early last night, and even when he finally did, I couldn’t find peace, couldn’t sleep. His words from when he left echoed in my mind, his flimsy excuses taunting me.

He had told me his great uncle, Sebastian Salvatore, would be in town soon to expand his business. In Matt’s world, that meant he needed to be on his best behavior to get on the man’s good side. He mentioned needing to ensure everything was perfect for the meeting.

But after what I’d discovered, I knew it was a lie. He left to see her—Faye.

Now that I thought about it, maybe he met her all those times he claimed to be going out for work. He probably just wanted more time with his lover while I played the perfect fiancée, clueless and devoted, thinking he was pursuing his dreams. All the while, he had been pursuing something else, someone else.

The truth shattered me more than I wanted to admit. The very thought of it churned my stomach. The worst part was knowing he’d been taking my blood, draining me like some danm vampire, only to give it to her.

When would it end? Would he keep going until I dropped dead? Would he be satisfied then? Perhaps he’d wanted me dead all along.

A tool—that’s all I was to him. Not even a person, much less a wolf.

And yet, pathetically enough, I couldn’t bring myself to confront him. I didn’t know why. I wanted to—I really did. But for some reason, as I watched him get ready and leave, I could only sit there, doing nothing. Even when he leaned down to kiss my cheek goodbye, it felt like nothing more than an act he’d perfected over the past two years. It felt hollow, a robotic gesture, not an act of love.

I hated it. I hated everything that had led to this. I hated that I could only sit and watch as it crumbled. I hated that I still couldn’t face him.

More than anything, though, I hated how much I loved him, and how that love had left me feeling so betrayed, so broken-hearted. When the door finally clicked shut behind him, I released a shaky breath, my shoulders slumping and my knees weakening. If I had been standing, I might have fallen.

My mind raced, replaying everything that had happened over the past two years, every lie I’d believed, every sacrifice I’d made. The silence in the house felt oppressive, my mind looping through the betrayal, the anger, the disbelief.

How had I let it come to this? How had I allowed myself to be deceived for so long?!

To think that I’d been giving him my blood all this time, believing he was doing it for my sake, only to find out I was nothing more than a fool in his eyes—and in hers. How long had he been with her? Was she the reason he got with me in the first place? Was I the other woman here, or was she?

The more I thought about it, the more suffocated I felt. I desperately needed an escape. I needed to get out, to talk to someone—anyone—to lift some of this weight off my shoulders.

Without a second thought, I reached for my phone and dialed the one person I could count on: my best friend, Gracie. She was the only person in the pack who genuinely understood me, who had ever been kind to me.

She picked up on the second ring, her cheerful voice flooding the receiver, instantly calming some of the storm inside me. “Hey, baby girl!” she greeted, as upbeat as ever. “What’s up?”

My heart hammered in my che-st, my voice thick as I tried to speak. “Gracie,” I croaked, hating how weak I sounded. Tears pricked my eyes, but I blinked them back. “Can we go out tonight?” I cleared my throat, hoping my voice would steady. “I just… I need to get out of here, please.”

There was a pause on her end, a beat, then another. Gracie knew me well enough to sense something was wrong. Her voice softened, and I could practically see the frown on her face. “What happened, Leila?” Her cheerfulness had vanished, replaced by a fierce, protective tone that nearly brought me to tears again. “Did Matt do something?” It sounded like a question, but we both knew it wasn’t.

Gracie had never liked Matt, even before I joined the pack. No surprise she guessed he was the cause of my distress.

I hesitated, unsure how much to say. Finally, I decided against explaining over the phone. “Not now,” I said, shaking my head, even though she couldn’t see me. I gripped the phone tightly, my heart aching. “I’ll explain everything when we meet. Can we go to the club later? I need to clear my mind.”

“Of course, babe, of course,” she said gently. “I’ve got your back, always. I’ll pick you up around six. Is that good for you?”

“Yeah,” I managed, swallowing a lump in my throat. “Six is good.” It would give her time to finish work, and it worked well enough for me, too.

Some of the weight pressing on me eased at the thought of spending time with her. It had been weeks since I last saw her, and it felt like forever. I needed some girl time, desperately.

After a few more words, I hung up and collapsed back on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Tonight, I thought. I’d let it all out tonight, even if only for a little while.

Maybe Gracie would have an idea—a way out—because I certainly couldn’t think straight. But deep down, I knew my time with Matt was over.

It had to be, one way or another. Now, it was just a matter of when.

Now my priority was to start planning my leaving.

    As Gracie and I had agreed, I was dressed and ready for a night out by 6 p.m., ready to let loose. I’d chosen a slinky black halter dress that hugged my body and accentuated my curves, reminding me of the confident, bold woman I used to be before I met Matt.The reflection staring back at me in the mirror looked like a stranger—a bold, beautiful woman I hadn’t seen in a long time. Matt had preferred a more subdued version of me, so I’d molded myself to fit that image. I’d become the perfect, timid mate, trying to be everything he wanted. I should have known I’d never be enough.A car honk sounded outside, signaling Gracie’s arrival. I grabbed my purse and phone, adjusted the straps on my heels, and headed for the front door. I didn’t bother leaving a message for Matt. He hadn’t been home all day, and frankly, I didn’t care whether he came back or not. All I cared about was getting out.I spotted Gracie’s car parked outside and made a beeline for it. She rolled down the window, waving

    The nightclub’s music thumped through my body, but all I could focus on was the haze in my head. How did I end up here? Oh, right—Matt. His lies, his excuses, all his fake promises. “Working for his uncle” or “expanding his business”? Yeah, sure. He was probably with her. Just the thought made me throw back another drink, trying to drown out the anger.Was he with her now? Laughing, touching her? My chest tightened. I needed to stop thinking about him.I had thought that Matt would be the one. He seemed so gentel and kind, but I guess that wasn’t the case. After this, I felt like never falling in love again.Gracie grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dance floor. “Come on!” she shouted over the music. I followed her, letting the beat take over. For a moment, I could forget. The crowd, the rhythm—it all blurred together, and I felt like myself again.After a while, I left the dance floor, the drinks catching up to me. On my way back, I crashed into someone—hard. My ankle twisted, and

    The air in the room is heavy with the scent of our bodies merged together, the tension between us so thick and suffocating it filled every space of the room. His hands wee every where, sliding over the bare skin of my thighs and pushing the hem of my dress as his lips became more intense, kissing me deeply, and his scent overwhelming me as a whole, stealing every bit of rational sense left in me.I was left with no thought but that of him in that very moment, his body on mine, his intoxicating sense that drowned me in him. His lips moving on mine were rough, insistent, and I let myself drown in it…in him too.I am not sure how we ended up in one of the rooms at the club, a vip room I supposed but my brain was too much of a mess and a haze for me to recall exactly how the events escalated. One minute we were kissing in the hallway, and the next, my back was hitting the bed as he hovered above me, his entire being taking me away to nirvana. Most of the alcohol was out of my system by t

    Matt: Reply me immediately you see my messages.Matt: I mean it, Leila.If I was not in my right senses up until a while ago, and I am not, the messages cleared the entire fog of lust on me. My stomach twisted in uncomfortable knots, and the surge of desire vanished as cold clarity dawned on me on what I was just about to do.Fuck, what was I just about to do? What was I doing? I was about to cross a line, a line that I could not come back from. No matter how upset I am, I should not have stooped down to Matt’s level, this cannot be the answer. Two wrongs do not make a right.I hesitated, my breath uneven as I looked back at the man. His eyes were on my phone, his expression hardening and growing even more colder than ever. There was a flick of something that masked his expression, almost like a realization suddenly dawned on him and almost as my touch burned him, he withdrew his hands back, his intensity cooling.Without a word or so much as a look spared in my direction, he straight

    LEILA MILLER The morning might filtered through the opened windows as I stepped into my house with Matt of two years. Except today, the usual enthusiasm and affection I had for this place I had poured my all into making it my home is no longer there, and in it's stead, the weight of everything from last night weighed me down as well as everything that has happened in the past few days as well. My head is throbbing, a full reminder of the mistake I had almost made last night. I had not gotten a wink of sleep last night entirely, simply tossing and turning in Gracie's Bed where I had seemed shelter the night before, not wanting to return to this place with my thoughts scattered all over like that. Despite Matt's message, I could not stand to look at him or seal with anything that has to do with him in any form last night really, especially not while still under the influence of alcohol. Now though, as I walked into the room, something within me has shifted, more like a fierce de

Before I could react and prepare myself for what he will throw my way, he took a hold of my arm in a bruising grip, and the shoved me hard against the wall nearest to us.A gasp escaped my lips as pain registered from where he gripped, and from the impact of my back being pressed against the wall. Panic flared within me, especially when I saw his eyes glow and it grew even more when I gent his other hand move to my dress, tugging the fabric roughly with care to my feelings it appears."What the hell are you doing, Matt?!" I claimed, the surge of panic within me growing as I struggled against him but he was stronger than I am, especially since my body is now greatly weakened.I could see the anger flaring in his eyes, it was clear as day." You really think you can say whatever it is you want to me and gt things done your way?" he hissed, his hand still fumbling with my dress, his m

    LEILA MILLERPerhaps, I should thank Matt’s uncle’s sudden arrival because Matt’s grip loosened as the words register, and then, he stepped back, his eyes narrowing as if trying to maintain his composure but barely getting a grasp of it, I could tell from the way his shoulders were still stiff and his expression hard as steel.“Get dressed properly,” He said, his voice and tone as cold as it could ever be, devoid of any form of warmth. “We should not leave my Uncle waiting for long.” Of course, Matt would never want to upset his Uncle so of course he would need me to act in place and not out of it.I could only nod though, grateful for any form of distraction that would take Matt’s attention off me, even if it happens to be in the form of his Uncle. My fingers trembled as I rushed to pull back my dress, fixing it so it covers my body while smoothing it down. Matt had never been tis violent before. He was not exactly the calmest when pissed, but I have never seen him lose his calm like

    LEILA MILLER I froze, my breath caught in my throat as the words registered, vibrating through my entire being. Mate? No, that can not be. So this is what my wolf has been trying to tell me since last night but I blocked her out. She was trying to tell me that the stranger I am with is my mate. I have been with Matt for years, there was attraction and love on my part certainly, but there was never something like this. This felt different. The lull the magnetic force drawing me to Sebastian, it as undeniable. My wolf has never said something while sounding so sure, so certain like this time around, and as much as I wanted to deny it, I too could feel it. My mate is none other than Matt's Uncle, Alpha Sebastian Salvatore Dr Luca. Fuck, fuck, and Fuck. Sebastian's cool gaze met mine, his expression impossible to read and for a split second I wondered if he knew, if he could feel the same thing I am feeling and if he knew we were mates. But there was no flicker of recognition in his e

    LEILA MILLER Everyone in the hall clapped in acknowledgement, but I think I broke some people because they all seemed too frozen in their position in shock. Two people in particular. One, Matt fucking Wilde. And two, Sebastian asshole de Luca. Oh and of course, Anastasia who watched with a mouth that fell open, it nearly touched the ground. If I was close, I would have reached out and helped her close it because with the way it was wide open, something might actually fly into it. Though I think I would love to see her face as she chokes really. I ignored them, grinning as Pa turned around to face me. “My princess,” he started, “My daughter. Happy birthday.” He reached out and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his embrace. “Thank you, Pa,” I leaned into his embrace, loving how secure and protected I felt being in his arms. And then he pulled back after a while, Ma coming in next as she pulled into her embrace. “Happy birthday, honey.” She said, giving my back a pat.

    LEILA MILLER.Pa's words had everyone keeping shut, the entire hall becoming so quiet, a pin drop could be heard. It turned still, breaths held in anticipation, as curious eyes looked around the room, as if the birthday girl would mysteriously show up. I pushed Sebastian away from me, my heart hammering behind my ribcage so loudly I feared he would be able to hear it, and thankfully, he did not hold back, letting me get back up on my feet though his strong arms remained around me to ensure I was standing on my feet steadily. But, he did not move away, and instead stood beside me, almost protectively. My gaze fell on a fuming Anastasia who tried to fake a smile on her face but it was not working.She was rather glaring between Sebastian and I. Still, she forced a smile on her face, her lips curling uowards almost robotically before she then parted her lips and said. "Sorry. My hand slipped." She said, her apology half baked.I scoffed. As if. Who is she trying to fool?My scoff seemed

    SEBASTIAN SALVATORE DE LUCA.The Millers sent out an invitation to their birthday party, and they allowed me to take two guards of my choice, and a plus one. Now, rationally, I chose to go with Eric and Drake, leaving Xavier and my Delta to look after the pack. And for a plus one, I really did not want to take anyone. But apparently my health status was still in jeopardy. I did not believe it before, but when I started getting dizzy out of the blue, it became apparent that there might be a need of Anastasia closeby, which was why I had to take her with me as well. I already Drake in the background searching for a good toxicologist doctor as well that would fill in for her. And once I get one, which i am hoping would be soon, I would have, then she would be out of the picture. I could not keep her around any longer, and I know what I am saying. It already is a stretch having her here. The Millers decided to host it at one of their hotel's grand halls, a smarter choice than having a

    LEILA MILLER.Truly, why was I not surprised to see her in his arms? She was with him that night as well. I still remember what was said that night at the fundrasing gala, something about them being together before. I guess, they got back together, and I no longer matter. That must have been why he ignored my messages and calls. Great, just great.On the other hand, I could feel Matt's piercing gaze on me as well, but that was the least of my concerns. I moved my gaze away from either of them, holding my head up as Ian and I walked past them, and we made our way to a table amidst theirs, one where I spotted the Abbot name tag sitting there nestled perfectly. My brows drew in surprise, and I found myself leaning forth to ask him. "Who are you exactly?" I could not help but ask, because by all indications, he is a very important person to get front row seat, but I could not remember where I must have heard his name before or heard of him.Ian folded his lips in for a moment. "Yeah, a

    LEILA MILLERRecognition dawned on me as I remembered the familiar face and scent, the memory of our meetup clicking in my head like missing puzzles of a jigsaw. It was as if something in my mind clicked, and in an instant, I was taken back to where I knew him from, and how we met. The man outside my apartment that day, the one I hid behind when evading my brother’s beta as I ran away. I had only been with him for that brief moment I hid behind him, using him as a shield until I made my way out of the apartment building. We did not even speak, at least I told him that I owe him one, and then ran off before he could say a thing.I did not think much into it, I just thought that if by some chance we run into each other, I owe him one for helping me that day. But of all the places I thought we would ever cross paths, my birthday party was not one of it.What is he doing here? And who is he?My confusion only grew when he offered me a warm smile, and then he helped me get back on my feet

    LEILA MILLER.The birthday party was set to take place in on Eid the hotels our company has. They initially wanted to host it at the pack, but they figured it would be a high security risk to allow so many people into our pack lands. So, they decided to have it in the city, which is practically no man’s land, a place where all the guests would feel much more at ease being as well.Ma and Pa left earlier, as they wanted to arrive and welcome the guests first. We were supposed to go with Dylan, but his Beta came to accompany us instead because Dylan apparently had an unexpected work call that came through so he would be joining us later.Gracie seemed a bit disappointed when she heard that but she did not let it show for long. All I could do was offer her smiles of encouragement and assure her that he will be around later, and it will be worth it when she sees his reaction.The drive to the hotel seemed too much longer than I would wanted it to be. Or perhaps I was just too stuck in my

    LEILA MILLERBy the time Gracie and I had our makeup and hair done, we had basically transformed into more beautiful versions of ourselves. Personally, I know I am beautiful, and I own it, but in that moment, I could not help but stare at my reflection in awe.Who is that beauty? She’s is so fine.I glanced at Gracie, who was staring at her reflection as well, her lips parting as she fan over herself. She truly looks good. Her usual glow and ambience these past few days was dimmed, making her glow disappear but it was back in that moment.I could tell she felt that as well judging from the way her eyes seemed to have this glint as she stared at herself in awe.I parted my lips, and then threw in an earnest comment. “We are about to have my brother down on his knees.” I stated, because I just know it. I gave her low whistle. “Damn girl, you are getting some tonight, even if I find it disgusting to even think about my brother doing such things…” I shuddered, before I grinned and then ad

    SEBASTIAN SALVATORE DE LUCA."DAMN IT! WHY CAN'T ANY OF YOU FIND HER?!" I yelled, pushing away the content on top of my work desk, sending them flying across the room as I heaved out heavily, my hands tightening around the edge of the table, my knuckles turning white. From behind me, I could feel them exchanging looks amongst themselves. They were quiet for a while, and then Eric's cautious voice came as he took a step forward. "Alpha, she could be well for all we know...""Then why can't you find her?" I snapped, turning around to look at him as I gritted my teeth, my nose flared. "Huh? Why can't any of you find her anywhere if you are so sure she is alright?!" It has been hours since I woke up, and there has not been a single second where my mind was not flooded with the thought of Leila. I went to her house earlier, and I have waited there for a while, but there was no answer on the other end. I had to check in with the receptionist, but she said Leila has not been around in days

    SEBASTIAN SALVATORE DE LUCA.Fuck, I think I might have underestimated those rogues' poison quite a lot, because when it knocked me down, it did so badly.A slight groan escaped my lips as I peeled my eyes open, welcomed by the rays of light coming in through the slightly opened curtains of my room. From what I could tell, it must be morning or afternoon. I tried to move, my whole body feeling weak, as if something was weighing me down. My body was sore, and I cannot remember the last time I felt that way really.I pushed myself to a sitting position, my gaze falling on the digital clock by the side of my bed, only to see the time read 11:00AM. I blinked, trying to push past the grogginess and then get out of the bed, making a direct beeline to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. I stayed back and took a shower as well, to get rid of the sore muscles as I tried to recall my last memory and recollect all that had happened.By the time I was done and made my way back into t
