Semua Bab The Betrayed Barren: Claimed By The Blind Alpha Uncle: Bab 61 - Bab 70

CHAPTER SIXTY ONEMIREYA'S POVI stared at the door long after Knox had left, sitting quietly on the bed with nothing but his oversized shirt covering my body. The room suddenly felt much bigger and emptier without him in it. His scent lingered everywhere, clinging stubbornly to the sheets, the pillows, and even the shirt hanging loosely over my frame. It was impossible to escape him. Everywhere I looked, there was a reminder of him. My fingers unconsciously gripped the fabric covering me as my thoughts drifted back to the morning. Heat immediately rushed to my cheeks.Oh, Mireya... you've had enough! I screamed internally.Ava's laughter echoed inside my head.“That middle-aged man!” she teased mercilessly.“Shut up!” I hissed inwardly, burying my face in a pillow.The teasing only made me remember how hard I had tried to resist him in the beginning. Now look at me. Thinking about him every five seconds like some lovesick teenager.Embarrassing.I kicked my legs lazily in the air be

CHAPTER SIXTY THREEKNOX'S POV My gaze darkened immediately, and the relaxed posture I had been maintaining vanished. A cold expression settled over my features as irritation stirred beneath the surface. The atmosphere around me seemed to grow heavier, the kind of silence that usually made people think twice before speaking.I wasn't asking because I didn't know. I was asking because I wanted him to answer. And we both knew it.“I did. His mother came here personally, begging me to give him a position to honor his father... your late brother.” He continued speaking, his voice carrying that familiar tone he always used whenever he wanted something from me. Emotional blackmail. He had been using it for years.“Under whose authority?” I continued, my voice low and controlled. “With whose permission?”I leaned back in my chair, my fingers tapping slowly against the desk as irritation simmered beneath my calm expression.The silence stretched longer this time.Good.Because we both knew e

CHAPTER SIXTY FIVEKNOX'S POV “Do you... ” I started, but she cut me off before I could finish.“Don't blame them... I asked them to join me,” she blurted out hurriedly.She gestured for the maids to leave, and they immediately began gathering their things. Then she moved to stand directly in front of me, looking entirely too innocent for someone who had clearly been caught. Even though I couldn't properly make out her expression, I knew exactly what she was trying to do. She was attempting to charm her way out of trouble.I folded my arms.“You're acting as a Luna. If word gets out, people will start suspecting things,” I cautioned.“I won't do it again...” she replied.The moment those words left her mouth, I remembered that exact tone. The same voice she used whenever she was lying or trying to escape responsibility.A sigh escaped me.I stepped closer and gently pulled her toward me before lowering my voice.“Reya... I know you have good intentions, but you need to have limits. N

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVENMIREYA'S POV“What?” I scoffed angrily as I watched him pull the duvet over my exposed backside before simply turning around and walking away. Just like that. He walked away from this? I was wearing shorts that barely covered my cheeks, and he still acted as though nothing had happened.If we hadn't already slept together, I would have started suspecting he was impotent.I kicked the duvet away dramatically and rolled onto my side of the bed, stubbornly facing away from him while waiting for him to return. A while later, I heard the bathroom door open. My heart betrayed me immediately. I glanced over my shoulder and saw him walking out with damp hair, wearing a wine-colored silk robe and loose, comfortable pants. Even fully dressed, he somehow looked unfairly attractive. Water still clung to the strands of his dark hair, and the faint scent of his shower gel slowly filled the room. He climbed into bed beside me without saying a word and settled comfortably on his b

CHAPTER SIXTY-NINEMIREYA'S POVI pierced a deadly glare in Corvin's direction before continuing. Even from where he stood, I could feel his eyes burning into me, waiting for me to hesitate, waiting for me to break. Too bad for him. That Mireya had died the day I walked away from him.“He made me realize how much I was lacking,” I said, my voice remaining steady despite the storm raging inside me. “He filled the empty spaces in my heart without even realizing it.” I slowly turned toward his side, my gaze lingering on his sharp profile. “I left Corvin because I found a better man... a man who knows my worth. A man who respects me, protects me, and makes me feel valued.” A faint smile tugged at my lips despite the tension surrounding us. “And I'm going to love him for the rest of my life, regardless of whatever hardships come our way.”The words left my mouth before I could second-guess them. Knox turned to look at me.Even through his face blindness, I could feel his surprise as he in
