All Chapters of Betrayed By My Alpha; Claimed By His Uncle: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Third POV Two Hours EarlierAmy sat in the corner of Liam and Ivy's bedroom, her eyes never leaving Liam’s sleeping form.When the doctor arrived about an hour ago to reset the broken bone in his leg, Cassandra had shown up too, nearly throwing a knick into Amy's plan.The Alpha had lingered for a long time, making small talk with her as if she was specifically keeping an eye on Amy.It made Amy wonder if Ivy already knew the truth, but when the woman finally departed a few minutes after the doctor, Amy breathed a sigh of relief.Although she had no choice but to leave the suite with Cassandra, as it would be suspicious if she remained in there, the second Cassandra's car pulled away from the hotel, Amy slipped back inside using the spare key she had secretly copied days ago. Now, alone with Liam, she moved silently closer to the bed, drinking in the sight of him. His broad chest rising and falling steadily. His strong, masculine features relaxed in sleep. Power radiated from him

LIAM I’m lying on the cold floor of the villa, completely paralyzed, but my mind is racing. All that's passing through my mind is Ivy and the fact that she's probably waiting for me at the dock right now. I can see her checking her phone every few seconds, wondering why I’m not there after I promised her. After everything she’s been through with that worthless ex-husband of hers, I swore I wouldn’t disappoint her. Especially not on our last night here. But that fucking crazy woman.... Fuck! Kylie--Amy, rather--stands over me naked, a sick, triumphant smile on her face. I can only grit my teeth as she crouches down above me and runs her fingers across my chest, tracing my muscles like she already owns me. “Finally,” she purrs, voice dripping with obsession. “You’re mine now, Liam. That pathetic little omega never deserved you. I’m going to give you everything she never could.” My wolf snarls inside me, going feral and rabid as he throws himself against the mental ca

IVYThe onions hit the pan with a sharp sizzle and I stir them without thinking, my body going through the motions while my mind is somewhere else entirely.Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean.'Stop it,' my wolf tells me and I grip the wooden spoon tighter. 'Don't go there.'The Kingsley manor kitchen smells like the garlic and butter I used to cook the meal Mr. Kingsley requested this morning. Something his late wife used to make, he'd told me, his voice going soft as he reminisces about the one person he can't ever get back.I understood that feeling more than he knew.I add the rice and stir again, watching the steam curl toward the ceiling.It's been two days since I've slept properly. I keep obsessively checking my phone every thirty seconds and jumping every time a door opens. I even told our maid not to come to the house anymore because preparing elaborate meals is the only that keeps my brain from replaying the cliff...the gunshot and the way Liam's body jerked when the b

IVY My phone buzzes at six the next morning and my instinct tells me it's work before I even check. And yes it is. Steve's name flashes on my screen, annoying the hell out of me. I let it ring twice before answering. "Hey." "Ivy." His voice is careful, as if he thinks I may shatter if he speaks louder. "I know the timing is terrible. But there are some things at the office that really need your attention. Except you want me to tell everyone you're the boss's wife, I can't make more excuses for you." "Well your boss is missing, Steve." I say coldly as irritation spikes through me. "Hell he may even be dead already and rotting at the bottom of the ocean." "Wow, that's a little graphic, yeah?" His voice has a little shudder in it as he sighs. "Anyway I know you both don't really believe Alpha Liam is dead." He's right. I don't fully believe it. But knowing it is different from actually internalizing it. I swallow the lump that forms in my throat as he continues. "Besides, Alph

IVYThe executive conference room feels suffocating. Twelve of the company’s top executives sit around the long table, their faces a mixture of shock, anger, and fear. The news about Liam has already leaked, and the damage is spreading fast.Steve stands at the head of the table, hands braced on the surface, as he tries to project calm he clearly doesn’t feel.“I know this is a lot to take in,” he begins and the exhaustion is clear in his voice. “Alpha Liam just went missing after an attack during his honeymoon but he is not dead." He sucks in a deep breath and pushes it out. "We have no idea who released that information to the press but I promise it's not true.""For how long has the CEO being missing?" One of the executives asks right then and I swallow the lump in my throat.It's not in my place to answer or I'll give too much personal details I'm not ready to reveal. Steve looks at me briefly before shaking his head. "A couple of days now but we have search teams working aroun
