Did you betray me with him? Did you do something you shouldn’t?” he asked, his eyes intense.
| didn’t,” | told him. | was pleased about my decision not to do anything with Ellis because David would have used that to make an accusation. He saw in my eyes that was telling the truth and nodded.
Honey, that man is mated. He left you before for his mate, and if he could do that, he would do it again,” he said, but | shook my head. Ellis would never hurt me again. | trusted that.
No, he won't. Ellis loves me, and | love him,” | said sternly. David held my hands in his and stared at me softly. His gaze was anguished. | was breaking his heart, and | sympathized with him. | knew how that

Losing someone you loved and planned a future with. David was a nice guy, but the heart wants what it wants.
“You are confused, Love. You saw each other again after so long, and since you never got closure, you feel like there might be something there,” the desperation in his voice killed me. His eyes were so sad. | nestled his cheek.
“| know my feelings. It isn’t about closure,” | was stern. Vee was

You are tired, and I’m drunk. We'll discuss this later, okay, for now we need to rest,” David said. | didn’t even realize we had reached my house. It was pointless to talk to him in the condition he was in. | was about to leave the car when he called my name gently. | twisted my
neck to look at him.
“| don’t accept this breakup. You want closure, go for it, but | don’t accept the partition.”
My lips parted in shock after his grave words.

There was something in David's gaze | couldn’t read.

I'm just kissing my fiancé. Nothing wrong with that,” he chuckled.
“You're drunk. We'll talk when you are sober,” | growled.
Two guards approached the car, and he let go of my arm. The guards were only checking if | was alright. | dismissed them with my hand and inhaled.

My phone was blaring as | glared at the caller ID. It was Maybin calling me. | didn’t answer, and then it dinged. He texted.
[It’s about our divorce. You want it? Answer,]he wrote in his message. He called again, and this time, | answered.
“What?” | growled. Maybin was refusing to sign the divorce. documents. He was served long ago.
“Let's talk in person if you want me to sign the papers,” he said.
“I'm not talking to you,” | said sharply. | wanted nothing to do with him after what happened. He cheated on me with my close friend.
“Then I’m not signing the divorce papers, Zeyneb.”
Fine. Where do we meet?” | just wanted to get this over with.
On neutral ground. You might kill me in your territory,” he chuckled. |

Oh, you know me too well,” | sighed, inspecting my nails. | held resentment for Maybin. He used me throughout our marriage in business deals and security for his pack. All that was gone, and he
was scared.

room. They needed an alpha, and he was da mn good at his job as an alpha.
Well, | haven't eaten since morning, Zey, please let’s be civil,” he
said.
‘Whatever,” | said and ended the call.
| still had a few hours to dine with Maybin, and | just chilled at home. | hoped Luis would text or call me, but he hasn’t since the pool party.
‘Just text him,’ My lycan, Zey, said.
‘No, | don’t want to be the first to text. He should pursue me this time. | spoiled that man so much,’ | said, resolutely.
Iwas going through my emails when | saw an unopened mail from Luis,
[ | can’t wait for our date,] My heart was palpitating. How come | didn’t see it sooner? | decided to reply.
[ Missed your email. Who even uses these anymore?] | sent, waiting for a reply. | giggled like a schoolgirl when he replied.
[I do] he said. Short. | smiled sadly and put my phone away.
| called Gina in my room. She always assists me to get ready when | am going out. | was going to see my ex-husband, and | needed to
show him what he had lost.
We went to my closet and picked out a few dresses. Gina started by blow-drying my hair. It was usually curly, so | mostly put it in braids or
cornrows,
“I've always loved your hair,” Gina said. “You can do so many styles with it,”
| nodded. | loved my hair too. It was long and luscious. She curled the end of my hair. | did my make-up beautifully, and we went to pick up
the dress. A mid-thigh silk dress with a low neckline. | wore my four- inch heels and smiled in the mirror. | was amazed by the appearance.
“You look gorgeous, Ms. Zeyneb,” She squealed.
Please put my phone and essentials in my purse,” | said. There was a knock on the door, and a s ervant came to inform me that my date. was there. What the f uck was Maybin doing in my territory? Does he have no fear? | grabbed my purse as Gina and | went out.
“| don’t think | will control myself from killing that man,” Gina gritted her teeth. If Maybin had one hater in the world, it was Gina. If he had
zero haters, Gina would be dead.
“| know, but restrain yourself, please. | would rather be a divorcee than a widow,” | laughed.
When we reached the foyer, my breath left me. There stood Luis, hands in his jean pockets and looking devilishly handsome. His eyes grew wide when he took me in.
My heartbeat was sporadic, and Zey was squealing with happiness.
“Is this how you greet your guests? Looking ... Celestial,” his voice was husky. | smiled. | couldn’t believe he was there at my house. How did he get my home address? | thought but remembered he was an Elite Force. They had access to information no one had.
“Luis, what are you doing here?” | asked, surprised but delightful. | le
go of Gina’s hand and went to him.
You weren't answering my messages, so | was worried,” he said. That must have been when | was getting ready. | didn’t look at the phone after. He came all the way just because | didn’t answer his
email? Hmm.
“| was getting ready to go out, that’s why I didn’t respond,” | said. His facial expression changed instantly to jealousy but recovered
quickly.
‘Where to?” He asked casually.
“I need to go see my ex-husband,” | told him. His eyes flashed, and muscles along his jaw tensed. His lips parted to say something, but he didn’t. He gave me a disapproving look.
“Don’t be gloomy. We are not getting back together,” | said with a smile. He let out a breath.
“lam not gloomy,” he frowned.
“Yes, you are,” | insisted.
“Fine, maybe a little,” he admitted. His confession gave me butterflies in my stomach. | wanted to ask why he was glum to hear | was meeting my ex, but | didn’t. | didn’t want to pressure him into anything. We walked to the door together,
He stopped walking and stared at me, ” It’s chilly out today. | think you'll need a coat,” he said. That weather was alright, and | wasn't feeling cold.
“I'll bring her a coat,” Gina volunteered, smiling knowingly. | rolled my eyes. She wanted this for me.
