CLARA.

My stomach churned.

I was meeting mummy today.

The meeting is always inauspicious. No matter how much I prepared my mind for it, she penetrated and tore down whatever protective gear I had put in place.

My stupid bra was giving me a hard time fastening, and the chill of our massive closet was enveloping me, causing an uprise of hairs on my skin. My nightgown pooled on my waist.

I sighed; my hands were already hurting from all the failed trials of clasping the bra.

I gave up, thumping into the cushiony chair.

“babe!” I called out to the bedroom, “Come in here please”

Asking Jackson for help always had me on pins and needles. The feeling of being such a bother to him, whatever it takes to avoid that look of sheer disgust on his face.

He’d been acting weird.

Staying home more often.

He didn’t even go to the neighborhood gym and just used the one in the house.

It was scary.

No one changes that fast.

However, money, wealth, and influence all-cause powerful men to cower.

  • Mated To My Ex's Lycan King Uncle    chapter fifty one

    CLARA'S POVAs usual, the Preston Hotel was a cocoon of serene ambiance.The piano was playing in what I supposed was a pianissimo with a very rich crescendo effect; it reminded you of Clair de Lune.It was a place for the highest class, the one percentile of the economy. A place suitable for mummy, and because it was suitable for her, it was for me.Even though truly I preferred a more upbeat venue than a classical inn.The hotel restaurant was around the back of the lobby; mummy always decided on the menu; it was always some form of lean white meat and very pricey wine; it got monotonous sometimes.That was mum.Change scared her, she’d rather live a life of routine than change her coffee order.She gets the same butterfly bob cut, never adds color to her hair, goes to the same spa, and the same nail polish. Mummy was stagnant. She didn’t like change; she even disliked the fact that nature forced her to change, the new smile lines and wrinkles. She’d had Botox done twice, and tha

    JACKSON I took a deep breath after handing my car keys to the valet. _Jackson you are a pathetic loser!_ I, an alpha in all his splendor, was cowering to every whim of my wife and her family. The mere thought of being at a place I had initially refused to come was disgusting.All the while, I hadn’t heard from Aurora, and it laid heavy on my heart.Longing and want were in her eyes that day.I saw it.Fuck! I even tasted it in the way she kissed me back.Raw want.She wanted me; she had kissed me like she used to like I was the most precious person in her life. That kiss would've turned ravenous had Clara not interrupted us.I kept wondering why she hadn’t reached out, normally, she would have.There were a few possibilities as to why she hadn’t yet reached out. One was Heather who was my number one pain in the ass. That lady never liked me for one day.Another possibility was that Ethan probably took her phone away because even when I tried calling, it went straight to voicemai

    AURORA'S POVI had insisted to undergo training before taking up the job at the company but Ethan shut down all my arguments.According to him , I was properly trained to be the COO. I was able to convince him that I would not start the job till we were married , but that was weeks ago and now it was just one week to the day.Honestly, I was freaked out, I was so fucking freaked out and scared.All my life, I had dreamt and prepared myself that when I walked up the aisle I would be staring into those blue eyes of Jackson with Heather by my side but everything had changed.In a week , I would no longer be Aurora Sterling but Aurora Thompson and all I could hope was that Heather would make it back in time for the wedding.I would not have pushed through with this if not for her and her being absent to it would hurt me so much.Detesting the days as the wedding drew near was something I could not even do because I could not detest Ethan. I could not find it in me to detest a man who had

    JACKSON'S POVWhen I got a whiff of the fact that Aurora would be at the la Diamondé, I decided that this would be my only chance to talk to her before her wedding and stop her from making the worst decision of her life.There was no possible way that I would stay still while she made plans to get married to my uncle. I could never let that happen.I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. I had thought that immediately I got married to Clara, everything would be okay. I would not need to worry anymore, but it seemed that everything had gone downhill; everything was going wrong.In the hospital, I hoped that she would give in, Hell! She was about to when that damned call came in and I could not refuse the call.Clara had my life in her hands and she knew damn well that she did.She took every opportunity she got to let me know my place and to remind me that she could end me if she wanted.I thought that giving in to her desires would satiate her, but it just made me want Aurora a

    JOSHUA'S POV “Jackson, hold on,” I said, the phone beeping to signal the call had been ended; I put the phone in my back pocket, sighing in frustration, “God knows how he expects me to handle them,” I muttered under my breath as I went back, to my lovely company.I knew Jackson would eventually break someday, and alas, it had to be that we were both meant to meet up with Clara's parents; just wonderful.If they were anything like their daughter, how would I survive this, “O heavens help me,” I prayed silently as I walked up to them and offered my most charming smile.This smile could bring people to their knees, but they stood there very much unfazed, Mr Kim's face wrinkling even more from the frown on his face; on the other hand, his wife looked every bit not interested. This will definitely be a long wait.“Sorry for keeping you waiting, my apologies,” I said, still giving them my charming smile; what a waste!“This meeting was fixed concerning the merger that was signed between

    ETHAN'S POV Heather had told me about Aurora's dreams for a perfect wedding; she had explained that, since they were young, Aurora had always fantasized about having her dream wedding.She had even planned everything, every single detail.Immediately Heather told me that, I knew that I would do everything in my power to give her, her dream wedding.The only thing that I could not give her was a man that she loved so much.She had always imagined getting married to a man she loved, that man being Jackson.That was a reminder that no matter what I did, no matter how richer or influential or more powerful I was than him, I could still never be enough for her because she wanted him and I was not him.All I could do was try, try to be what my mate deserved.I had thought that once I attained power and became the Lycan king, everything would be perfect.I promised myself in the past that I'd never lose something I hold dear because of my incapabilities, and here I am pulling at strings jus

    HEATHER'S POVTears threatened to fall from my eyes as I stared at Aurora walk out of the dressing room She was a sight to behold. I had always known that my best friend was very pretty, but this was something else. She was breathtaking.“Are you crying?”Aurora asked in a soft voice, her eyes wide with panicI chuckled at her expression. Over the years, I had watched her grow from a timid and weak girl into the strong woman that she is today.She had faced a lot of pain and struggles for a very long time, the worst being Jackson.I met Jackson through her; back then, I had been convinced that he was a no-good, but with time, he became part of our lives; he made her happy, so I was happy.When I found out that I was sick, I was glad that she had Jackson and she would not need me or feel my absence so much when they got married, but then Jackson threw away their nine years of friendship and five years of relationship.His betrayal hurt me, too, because I began to see him as one of u,s

    ETHAN'S POV“What the hell do you mean by you were coerced? What the fuck are you talking about Dahlia?”I asked in confusion , releasing my grip from the glass I was holding unconsciously.“I could not tell you then because I was afraid, I was afraid that you would not believe me, that you would be so angry with me. I was afraid that if I had told you the truth, you would do something rash and get yourself into trouble, that you would lose favour in your dad's eyes if you go trying to defend my honour”“What the fuck are you talking about?”I growled loudly at her, even more confused by her words.“André..”Dahlia started , then burst into tears.I was at a loss of what to do, was I meant to go to her side and try to calm her down? Or stay put?The anger in me was slowly disappearing with the increasing amount of tears that flowed from her eyes.“He threatened me. André threatened me, I did not know what to do, I had to just go along with it. He told me that if I did not go along wi

    ETHAN'S POV“D..Dahlia?”It took me approximately two minutes to gather myself and even after those two minutes, I could feel my blood grow cold as I stared at the woman standing in front of meDahlia Monroe, the love of my life who betrayed me and left me shattered and broken, the mate I had chosen for myself who took up and left when things seemed bleak.The woman claimed that the little boy in her hands, who looked like a splitting image of me, was my son.I had not realized that I had tightened the grip I had on Aurora's hand till she gasped.Immediately I dropped her hand like I was burnt.“Sorry, I..”“Who is she?”Aurora asked me in a soft voice, one full of confusion similar to the tone of her voice.“Oh me? I am the mother of his child and I would say the love of his life”“Dahlia”I said in a sharp tone immediately.Aurora's expression changed from that of confusion to disbelief then to hurt and betrayal.It was written as clear as day on her face. I had never mentioned anyt

    ETHAN'S POVWhen I got news of the unrest at the pack, I had to drop everything to go settle things back there like I usually did, but this time, it was different.In the past, it had always been so easy for me to drop everything and just go but that was when I did not have Aurora.The mere thought of going to bed without her in my arms, without the feel of her soft skin, which smelled so sweetly of lavender, er, and her hair that smelled like jasmines killed me.The soft sounds she made while she was asleep became my ho, m,e, and her habit of leaving her bunny fuzzy slipper everywhere in the house was comfort.But I had to remember that no matter what, the pack came first; I had to go and nip the unrest in the bud before it became something else.“Can I follow you at least?”Aurora asked me as she folded my clothes into a bag while I got dressed.“No, baby, you have to stay here and watch things for me, we can't both the gone at once, we still have a company under our care”“But..”

    One month later DAHLIA'S POV“It is a beautiful place André, but I would have preferred somewhere closer”I said as I walked into the house that André had purchased for me. As usual, it met up to all my requirements and my taste.“Are you sure you want to go through with this? Is there even any point to it, I thought that you had moved past all of it ?”André asked me as I picked up a white vase and admired it quietly.“Say something”“What do you want me to say? There is nothing that you can say to me that would change my mind now. My mind had been made up; the plans had been set. It is happening André, whether you like it or not.*****************************************I had worn this dress only once; I had bought it to receive one of the most important awards of my career, and today that was exactly what I was going to wear.It was a sequined green dress that exposed my cleavage and my long legs, it made me look extremely sexy and exoticI stared at my mirror, I looked like perf

    Weeks laterAURORA'S POVThe hostility I had expected was found lacking. I had thought that many of the workers would hate me but it seemed that little by little they were getting used to the idea of me in the office.Having Jackson just opposite my office was honestly really crazy. Most times, I caught him staring at me, with anger and longing in his eyes.He had made it clear that he hated the fact that I had a higher position than him in the office.Knowing Jackson, I was not surprised that his male ego was bruised. After all, he had always been like that, everything was always about me.Not only was he prejudiced about that, but he had also made it his life mission for some reason to get me back.I came to the for a few days to see flowers, chocolates, plates, and little gifts on my table, and I knew immediately that they were from Jackson.One thing I did not want to find out about was that. I could not let that happen, I had to stop Jackson one way or the other.Dropping my bag

    CLARA'S POVOver the years, I had perfected restraining myself and burying my emotions.Mummy had always told me that a lady should not show emotions. Honestly, I think that because she was incapable of showing it having emotions, she thought it was normal.Jackson's words never left me; I could have dismissed them as drunken words, but deep down, I knew that he meant every word he said to me last night.There was no way that I was going to let it go; he had said those things to me, his mate, because of that dreadful bitch.“Did you complete the job?”I said into the receiver.“I did exactly what you asked me to but someone got in the way and saved her”The hitman that I had hired to kill Aurora replied “What?! Are you trying to tell me that she is alive?”“I am sorry ma'am”“You are so fucking stupid, I gave you one simple task, one little task and you could not carry it out. You are so damn useless”I shouted into the phone and threw the phone to the ground.Jackson and Aurora were

    JACKSON'S POVThe ride to the office was filled with me regretting my life choices after that little stunt of Clara's this morning.I had had it with her already, but I was in a cell, and I just had to butter up my prison guard to survive.Handing my key to the valet, I walked into the office, heading straight to my new but not-so-new office.After I had gotten married to Clara, Ethan had done well on his promise and promoted me to manager which had very nice perks.I had my own office, it was luxurious, not as much as I would have loved it to be, but it was quiet and private. What I loved most about it was the name tag on my door.As soon as I sat down, a knock resounded in my office.“Come in”I said as Pearl, my secretary brought my daily cup of coffee whilst balancing some files on her other hand.“Good morning, Mr Jackson. I hope you had a very nice and relaxing weekend?”She asked in that shy little voice of hers.Pearl had not always been my secretary, initially when I had been

    AURORA'S POVSaying I felt jitters was an understatement. I had stalled resuming my position in the company with the excuse of after the marriage and I knew that there was no excuse I could give again.I was married to the CEO of Thompson Incorporations, and I was meant to be the COO. To say that I felt very unworthy was an understatement. Knowing how people were, I was aware that I would be gossiped about and called names, like being a gold digger, a slut, and the like.I took deep breaths as I stared into the fog-covered mirror, running my hands through my wet hair; I sighed.No matter what, I was worthy of this position. Over the years, I had worked my ass off to attain my qualifications, and even today, a fortune only smiled at me because I was married to Ethan. At the end of it all, he was my mate, and he felt I was worthy, and that was all that mattered.I picked up the blow dryer and started drying my hair, still unable to shake off the nerves that were growing and increasing

    JACKSON'S POV“Argh! Close the damn blinds”I mumbled as the light entered into my eyes and worsened the banging in my head“You are late for work. There's aspirin beside the table and a glass of water; take it, get dressed, and come downstairs. We need to talk”Clara said in a stiff voice and walked away.I had only heard that voice once, and that was when Clara was planning to annihilate a shop attendant who spilled wine on her limited-edition white gown.“Fuck! Why did I drink so much”I mumbled as I grabbed my head between my handsPopping the pills, I swallowed it down with some water, immediately feeling a little bit of relief.I hopped into the shower and as I washed my face I remembered all my words to Clara last night“Fuck!”I groaned.The soap I had applied to my face entered into my eye.“Ow, ow, fuck!!!”I grimaced, trying to wash it off, the sudden movement had me spiraling to the floor and I hit my face on the tub “Argh”I groaned.Why was this morning so bad?
