Wooing My Ex-wife Again Novel by Natalie Winter

Anastasia

That was when I realized my life had come to a point from which there was no return. Julian had all planned it out, not bothering to give me time to adjust to the news or even consider my opinion.

And I couldn’t help myself. My hand reached for the table cloth, gathered it in a fist, and yanked it down forcibly.

All the papers, files and other stationery that was placed on fi came crashing down. The glass paperweight shattered into a million pieces and paper was flying everywhere.

And amidst that destruction, I stood facing him. I wanted to cry, I wanted to howl in pain, I wanted to just make the pain go away but I did not give him the reaction he thought I would.

If this was a business deal, so be it. I would cry alone when nobody was watching me.

“I forbid you to touch me, Julian. I am not a disposable piece of tissue or some wannabe mistress who would gladly strip for

you.

I said in an try tone, my chin held up.

But that seemed to anger him.

He came forward and stood facing me, his eyes staring into my soul.

“You are going to do no such thing. You are my chosen mate, and that is how it is going to be. You are going to accept Angelica in our pack and welcome her. You both are going to learn to co–exist.”

Co–exist my foot!

I had never had any personal grudge against Angelica, but I could not bear the thought of sharing him with another woman. He was either mine completely or not at all. There was no middle road for me.

“I am not going to do any such thing, Alpha Julian. It looks like you have made up your mind and it seems futile to try to beg you to change your opinion. So be it.”

His

eyes widened as if he was looking at me for the first time. He forgot this was the same attitude, the sass and fierceness in me, which made him pick me as a wife. He used to like me for my boldness and that I was not a crying weakling who would dissolve into sobs every time something happened.

*Since we are not fated mates, as per your words, our relationship won’t end with the standard rejection. But I need some sort of closure. So, I will get a lawyer and the divorce papers will be sent to you shortly.”

I spoke and was proud of the way my voice did not shake. But Julian grabbed my hand and spoke through gritted teeth.

“You were not listening, Ana. This is not a choice. I am your alpha and I have marked you. As your alpha, I command you to submit to my wishes.”

I shook my head.

“No, please don’t do that.”

begged.

My willpower was strong, but what he said was true. I was his pack member, so my wolf and body could not disobey a direct command even if I wanted to tank ked at the abought of geeing Angelica move in and having oshth to the guest room. My heart froze at the thought of

“Please, if I ever meant anything to you, please don’t do this. You found your fated, so let go of me. I promise I will never show you my thee again

But Julian wat in no mood to listen.

“Submit to me. Ana. Do as I say. Your alpha is ordering you.”

Julian spoke in a stern voice, and I had no choice but to listen to him.

“Say that you will obeyll” He added sharply, and a whimper left my mouth even if I tried to stop it.

“O–okay”

“Good. I know we can make this work. Now, I will have Angelica move in here shortly. See to it that you don’t create any unnecessary drama.”

Julian went on and on but my brain fazed out after I heard that she was going to move in right away. I knew what he wanted me to do.

He wanted to maintain his image of a loyal and decent alpha who did not let go of his chosen mate when his fated mate showed up.

Usually, fated mates were always helmed as the gift of the Moon Goddess, so the pack would readily take them in and be happy that their alpha found their match made in heaven. If an alpha had a chosen one, she would usually leave quietly, ask for a big fat sum of money to start over elsewhere, or just die of heartache.

I did not know of any chosen mate who had stayed back in the pack and made it work.

Julian seemed too pleased with his plan and walked out of the room, leaving me to my thoughts and misery.

The door closed behind me, and that is when I finally allowed myself to cry. There was nobody around me to put up the mask of a Luna.

Was I even going to have that title anymore?

My knees finally gave in after standing firm on the floor as Julian delivered one heartbreaking news after another to me.

I was not sure how well educated Angelica was in the pack business or how much she understood about pack dynamics and other functions, but I knew she was going to slowly replace me, if not right away.

I knew Julian and his calculative mind. He always saw the profits first before offering any deal.

Fat drops of tears splattered on my dress as I let the realization sink in and allowed myself to cry. My wolf let out a pained howl in my head, our emotions making it extremely difficult for me to think straight.

“But he promised us that he was going to reject his fated. He promised us!!”

She shrieked in my head as white hot grief sliced through me like a hot knife through butter. I wanted the earth below me to cave in and swallow me whole.

What had I ever done to anyone to deserve this? I looked outside the window where the moon was visible, casting its white light on all of us.

I used to believe in the Moon Goddess and thank her every day for the life she gave me, for blessing me with a loving

I wanted to claw out my heart and put it aside so that I would not have to deal with this pain tearing through me like hot mohen lava was running through my veins.

I sobbed bitterly, wondering where I had gone wrong in the three years that I had been married to him. No matter how hard I tried. I could not find any answers,

Exhausted and depressed, I was not even aware of when I fell on the floor and my eyelids closed after hours of crying.

The next morning. I was woken up by our maid who found me lying on the floor amidst the papers and broken pieces of class

She let out a shriek and made me sit up while calling the guards to help me sit in the chair. The guards rushed in and I saw the dreaded look on their faces- one filled with pity.

They did not say a word to me, but their expressions were loud enough to tell me that the news had spread throughout the pack already.

They must have been elated that their alpha found a true Luna and would eventually have a true heir, but did not show their excitement in front of me.

The maid gathered all the papers and sorted them into files while she called another to clear the mess. The guards asked me FT needed anything, but I shook my head politely.

I could not stand their gazes of pity.

So I straightened my back and walked out of the office before walking towards the bedroom.

1 had barely taken a few steps when I heard the excited whispers of the servants and maids bringing up bags and suitcases. It was as if there was some festival, but to me, it felt like they were rejoicing in the death of my marriage.

I wiped the tears threatening to leak out of my eyes, reminding myself to hold my chin up.

And from the opposite side, I saw the love of my life step inside our home with his fated mate and someone who once used to be my close friend.
