My Ex's Uncle Claims Me as His Luna Chapter 11 The Prank Gone Wrong
(Layla)I spun around at the sharp impact on my back, my heart leaping into my throat. Annie sat in her wheelchair wearing the most horrifying rubber mask I’d ever seen.Bulbous red eyes bulged from sickly green skin while jagged yellow teeth protruded at twisted angles. Ridged black horns curved up from its grotesque forehead, making her look like a demon spawned from the darkest corners of hell.“Gotcha!” Annie yanked off the mask, doubling over in her wheelchair. Her laughter peeled through the room. “Your face! Oh my god, your face when you turned around!”I pressed my hand against the wall, willing my racing pulse to slow down. The polished wood felt cool under my palm, grounding me as I fought to regain my composure. Sweat beaded at my temples from the sudden spike of adrenaline.“That wasn’t funny, Annie,” I said, keeping my voice neutral despite the way my hands still shook.“Yes it was!” Annie clutched her sides, tears streaming down her cheeks as she howled with laughter. “Yo

(Layla)The moment Samuel’s arms released me, Annie’s desperate cry split the air.“Daddy!” Her anguished yell rang across the lawn.Samuel darted toward her. I ran after him, my shoes sliding on the grass still wet from yesterday’s rain. Each step kicked up tiny droplets that soaked the hem of my dress.“Wait!” I called out breathlessly. “It wasn’t what you think! Your daughter—she wanted to switch places!”My words seemed to dissolve in the space between us as Samuel reached Annie first. He scooped her small body into his arms, soft but protective. She immediately buried her face against his neck, her shoulders heaving with dramatic sobs.“Princess,” Samuel murmured, his hand smoothing over her dark hair. “Tell me what happened.”Annie’s fingers clutched his shirt. “She—she—” A hiccup interrupted her words. “She wouldn’t make me any food all day! And then she made me push her in the wheelchair!”“That’s completely false!” I stepped closer, gesturing frantically. “Annie, tell him the

(Layla)I spun around violently at the sudden embrace, my heart beating dangerously fast. Mason’s arms locked around me like iron bands, crushing me against his chest so hard I could barely breathe.His scent—pine needles and damp air—filled my nose, making my stomach turn.“Let go of me!” I thrashed against his grip, pushing at his chest hard enough to bruise my palms. My feet scrabbled for purchase on the gravel driveway. “Mason, I swear to the goddess—”My struggles only made him squeeze tighter, one arm banding around my waist while the other pressed between my shoulder blades.Mason buried his face in the side of my neck, inhaling deeply. His nose skimmed along my skin where Samuel’s mark had been that night at the bar. His breath came hot and fast against my throat.“Samuel drove you back again? How much did he pay you for one night, huh? Tell me—I’ll double it! Triple it!”Mason’s grip was unrelenting, his arms trapping me against him. My pulse throbbed wildly, not just from fe

(Layla)“What exactly do you mean I can’t leave?” I demanded in a high voice, stepping closer to the guard. “Since when does a pack guard have authority over a Beta?”The guard—Tim, I remembered now—shifted his weight nervously. Sweat beaded on his forehead despite the cool morning. “Alpha Mason ordered me to confiscate your phone as well, Beta Layla.”I checked my purse, and indeed, the phone wasn’t there. I swallowed back the panic rising in my throat, forcing myself to remain calm. Mason was playing games again, I knew.I should have expected this.But he wouldn’t keep me here.I took a careful step back, feigning nonchalance.“What are you afraid of, Tim?” I asked, tilting my head. “That I might tell Samuel what Mason is doing? That your Alpha’s so scared of losing control, he’s resorting to holding me hostage?”Tim flinched. Just slightly, but I caught it.“Mason said—”“I don’t give a damn what Mason said.” My voice hardened. “I am the Beta of this pack. That still means somethi

(Layla)After arguing with the guard for twenty minutes, I finally reclaimed my phone from his reluctant grip. The screen lit up immediately—twenty-seven missed calls and fifteen messages from Samuel.My heart sank as I trudged toward the territory boundary, taking one dreadful step after another.Samuel’s sleek black car idled just beyond the line. I slid into the passenger seat, the coolness of the leather making me shiver.“What took you so long?” Samuel asked lowly, his eyes fixed on his phone screen.His fingers moved rapidly across the surface, typing what looked like important business messages.“Something came up,” I muttered, reaching for the seatbelt. The metal clasp felt ice-cold. “Pack business. Couldn’t be helped.”Samuel’s head snapped up suddenly, his golden eyes zeroing in on my neck. His expression hardened instantly, jaw clenching tight enough to crack stone.Confused by his reaction, I glanced in the rearview mirror. My stomach plummeted.An angry red mark marred my

(Layla)“Me?” The word came out shaky as I stared at Samuel across his massive oak desk. Homeschooling Annie?The mere thought made my stomach clench. That child already exhausted me with her constant pranks and mind games. Teaching her actual subjects felt impossibly daunting.Through the window behind Samuel, I watched pack members training in the courtyard. Seeing them running around reminded me of my own school days—top of the class, everyone had said.But teaching was completely different from learning.“I wouldn’t know where to start,” I admitted, picking at a loose thread on my sleeve. “The curriculum, the lesson plans…”“Double pay,” Samuel interrupted. That shut me up immediately. My fingers stopped fidgeting.Double pay.The phrase echoed in my head, drowning out all my doubts and hesitations.Mom’s medical bills piled higher every day, the numbers growing more impossible by the hour. With double my current salary…“When would I start?” I asked, trying to keep the desperate e

(Layla)Samuel’s sharp nod directed me toward Annie’s bed. The pink comforter bunched around her small form as she sobbed into her pillow. I could see the pool of tears on her pillow.“What’s wrong?” I perched carefully on the edge of her mattress, keeping my distance.Annie’s crying intensified, her shoulders shaking harder under the blankets. The sound pierced through me despite all her manipulations. Even demon children could hurt, I supposed.I glanced at Samuel, who lounged on the plush armchair by the window. His mindlink hit me suddenly:“Why are you looking at me? I’m paying you to handle this, don’t expect me to.”Right. This was my job now. I shifted closer to Annie, reaching out to pat her back through the layers of blankets.“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk right now,” I said softly. “But when you’re ready to share, I’ll listen.”The room fell silent except for Annie’s quieting sniffles. I leaned over her bundled form, using my sleeve to gently wipe the tears from her

(Layla)I looked up sharply. “What?”“You already have a suite in the east wing, but going back to Mason was your prerogative. Not anymore, since it affects your work. Mrs. Hayes will show you to your room.”“So you know everything now?” I asked Samuel as I caught up to him in the dimly lit hallway.Samuel’s footsteps slowed. “I’m Alpha Samuel. What can’t I find out?” His golden eyes fixed on me in the darkness. “Though I admit, some things still puzzle me.”“Like what?” I asked before I could stop myself.“Like why Mason abandoned you for another woman, only to desperately chase after you now.” Samuel paused at an ornate door. “His behavior seems…inconsistent. Perhaps there are other motives at play.”The implications in his tone made me shiver. Before I could respond, he pushed open the door, revealing a spacious bedroom decorated in shades of cream and gold.“The previous nanny stayed here,” Samuel explained. “It needs tidying up. I had it cleaned, but since you haven’t been using i

My Ex's Uncle Claims Me as His Luna Chapter 50: Standing Ground
Layla’s POVJust as Samuel stepped through the front door, Barbara rushed over in high heels, her face flushed with anger. Her expensive silk dress swished dramatically around her long legs as she stormed toward us.“Where have you been?” she demanded shrilly. “Why didn’t you come home last night? Annie was asking for you!”Samuel’s cold gaze swept over her, making her take an involuntary step back. “Aren’t you aware why?” he asked icily. “Your little drugged dessert made that impossible.”Barbara’s face paled visibly, but she recovered quickly. “I apologized for that misunderstanding—”“Misunderstanding?” Samuel repeated incredulously. “You deliberately drugged food in my home, near my child. There was nothing to misunderstand.”“It wasn’t meant for her,” Barbara protested, shooting me a venomous glance.“That makes it worse, not better,” Samuel replied sharply. “You put everyone at risk with your childish scheme.”Barbara flinched at his tone but rallied defiantly. “I was only trying
My Ex's Uncle Claims Me as His Luna Chapter 49: Waiting
Layla’s POVThere wasn’t much to do at the council today. The usual mountain of paperwork had mysteriously shrunk to a manageable pile, and I finished organizing the materials in the archives by early afternoon. “Ready to go?” Cora asked, poking her head around a bookshelf. “I’m finished cataloging the new acquisitions.”I nodded, tucking a thick rehabilitation therapy book under my arm. I’d discovered it in the medical section yesterday and signed it out, hoping it might help Annie’s recovery.We pushed open the heavy oak doors together, stepping into the bright afternoon. I paused on the top step, momentarily blinded after hours in the dimly lit archives.“Oh my,” Cora whispered, nudging me sharply. “Look who’s waiting for you.”I blinked, my vision adjusting to see Samuel standing next to his car in the parking lot. His hands rested in his pockets as he paced back and forth, clearly waiting for someone. The suit outlined his broad shoulders and straight posture. I admired his chis
My Ex's Uncle Claims Me as His Luna Chapter 48: Unexpected Revelations
Layla’s POVElder Raymond’s office fell silent as the grandfather clock in the corner ticked loudly. He glared at Samuel for several long seconds, fury and fear battling across his face. Finally, he exhaled sharply through his nose.“Fine,” he growled reluctantly. “You may view the footage, but this stays between us—no reports, no formal inquiries.”“Agreed,” Samuel replied immediately.Raymond heaved himself from his chair and led us down a narrow hallway to a small room filled with electronic equipment. Monitors lined one wall, displaying different areas of the archives in real-time. Raymond typed a series of passwords into a computer terminal, bringing up a calendar interface.“What date exactly?” he asked tersely.“Umm, four weeks ago?” I guessed.Raymond inputted the dates, pulling up archived footage from multiple camera angles. He stepped back from the console, arms crossed.“Thirty minutes. No more,” he declared firmly before exiting the room, the door clicking shut behind him.
My Ex's Uncle Claims Me as His Luna Chapter 47: Clarifications
Layla’s POVI stood in front of Samuel, my fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of my skirt. In the auto shop around us, mechanics worked on Samuel’s newly installed tires.“I explained my relationship with Barbara because Annie likes you,” Samuel stated firmly, his face stern as a judge delivering a verdict. “Changing nannies would affect her rehabilitation progress significantly. That’s all.”Heat rushed to my cheeks. Of course. He hadn’t been clarifying for my benefit—it was always about Annie. I’d been stupid to think otherwise, to imagine his explanation held any personal significance.“You’re right,” I replied, dropping my hands from my skirt. “Annie’s recovery comes first. She needs consistency in her care.”Samuel nodded, relief flickering across his face. “Good. I’m glad we’re clear on this matter.”“I guess I overthink things sometimes,” I admitted, forcing a smile to hide my disappointment.“You should worry more about Frank’s threats than these misunderstandings,” Samuel
My Ex's Uncle Claims Me as His Luna Chapter 46: Unwelcome Revelations
Layla’s POV“It seems inappropriate for you to keep pursuing your ex-girlfriend’s belongings,” Samuel said pointedly. “What would Abigail think about your fixation on Layla’s necklace?”Mason slammed his car door, face flushing. “Don’t lecture me about my marriage, Samuel. You have no right.”“And you have no right to pressure Layla about her personal possessions,” Samuel countered.Their argument escalated. Each barb was sharper than the last. I sat awkwardly behind them in the car, watching as they snarled at each other like wolves establishing dominance.“At least I have a mate,” Mason sneered. “Unlike you, still pining after a woman who clearly didn’t want you enough to stay.”Samuel’s expression darkened dangerously. “My relationship with Elise is none of your concern.”“Isn’t it? Your emotional unavailability affects everyone around you, especially your daughter. Annie deserves better than half a father.”“Don’t you dare bring Annie into this,” Samuel growled.Their argument grew
My Ex's Uncle Claims Me as His Luna Chapter 45: Family Legacy
Layla’s POVI looked down at the moon necklace nestled against my chest again. The silver felt warm under my fingers. I’d worn it every day of my life, the metal absorbing my body heat until it seemed part of me.“Sell it, Layla.”I jerked my head up at Mom’s unexpected voice. She stood in the doorway watching us with a strangely intense look on his face. When had she followed us outside?“This way you wouldn’t have to work so hard as a nanny,” she continued, not meeting my eyes. “You could find something…safer.”I unconsciously glanced at Samuel. The thought of leaving his household made my stomach twist. Being with Annie had become healing for me, and if I was honest with myself, being near Samuel was equally important, despite the complications.“I don’t want to sell it,” I said firmly. “It’s not for sale at any price.”Mason stepped closer, lowering his voice. “Be reasonable, Layla. This necklace is worth far more than you realize. I could pay enough for you and your mother to live
My Ex's Uncle Claims Me as His Luna Chapter 44: Political Pawns
Layla’s POVI lunged for Mason’s phone, but he jerked it away, still recording. “Give me that!” I snapped, furious at his implications.Samuel rose from the table and approached the door. “Let’s take this outside,” he said coldly.Mason backed onto the front lawn, his camera never wavering. I followed them both, acutely aware of my ridiculous pajamas but too angry to care. The morning air chilled my skin through the thin fabric and raised goosebumps along my arms.Once outside, Samuel silently pointed toward his car. Mason’s camera swung to follow his gesture, capturing the luxury vehicle sitting on bare rims, all four tires conspicuously absent.“What is this?” Mason asked, genuine surprise in his voice.“This,” Samuel replied calmly, “is what happens when an Alpha fails to maintain proper security in his territory. My tires were stolen last night, leaving me stranded.”Mason lowered his phone slightly as Samuel continued.“The theft of my tires is a small matter,” Samuel said. “But s
My Ex's Uncle Claims Me as His Luna Chapter 43: Morning Aftermath
Layla’s POVHis head turned slowly at the sound of my voice.Sprawled across our secondhand couch that was at least two sizes too small for his frame, his usually impeccable dress shirt rumpled, the top buttons undone to reveal a tantalizing glimpse of a toned chest. "Did you change my clothes?" I asked again, my voice embarrassingly thin.One dark brow arched. "Do I strike you as the type?" His voice was dry as desert wind. "Your mother handled it. Though I did have to veto the bunny slippers."My face burned. "They’re wolves, not bunnies.""Ah." He tilted his head, studying my pajamas with exaggerated scrutiny. "My mistake. The ferocious wolves with... pink bows on their ears?"I crossed my arms. "It was a gift.""From a five-year-old?"I threw a couch pillow at him.Samuel caught it effortlessly, but not before I saw the smirk tugging at his lips. “I’m someone with strong boundaries, Layla. Besides our one night stand, I have never done anything so out of line.”Relief flooded thro
My Ex's Uncle Claims Me as His Luna Chapter 42: Unwanted Guest
Samuel’s POVClaire cowered behind me in panic as the man swaggered into the apartment. The stench of cheap liquor and his body odor filled the small space, making my nose wrinkle in disgust."Frank." Her voice trembled, fingers digging into my arm. "What are you doing here? How many times do I have to tell you—stay away from us!"Frank staggered past us, his boots kicking aside broken glass as he collapsed onto the couch."Aw, sweetheart," he drawled, the words thick with alcohol and malice. "This how you welcome your husband home?" His yellowed teeth gleamed in the dim light as he patted the stained cushion beside him. “Need money,” he announced bluntly, swaying slightly on his feet. “Got collectors breathing down my neck, nowhere to run.”Claire trembled visibly. “The money at home, you took it all already. There’s nothing left.”Frank's bloodshot eyes locked onto me with sudden, predatory interest. A slow, greasy smile spread across his unshaven face as he leaned forward on the
