Alpha Your Warrior Ex-Wife is Back (by Aurora Starling) novel Chapter 108

Justin’s hands hovered over her uncertainly before he wrapped his arms around her, awkward but sincere. “Don’t cry my mate,” he murmured. “You will be fine now. You have me.”

I rolled my eyes so hard it almost hurt, I cringed so much. Safe? If only he knew the truth — that the creature he held wasn’t a wounded woman, but a serpent wrapped in silk.

Daphne peeked up at him through her lashes, then turned her head ever so slightly toward Gideon again. That look of triumph — smug, poisonous — it was meant for him.

She wanted him to see. She wanted him to suffer.

I could literally tell she was trying to taunt him as if saying: you thought I will let you off so easily, the game has just begun.

My jaw clenched. I wanted to march right into that hall, drag her by the hair, and tell Justin exactly what kind of monster she was. But I didn’t move. Not yet. The last thing I needed was to expose myself before the time was right.

Gideon finally spoke up and broke the silence. “That’s Enough,” he spoke firmly and coldly. “Daphne, stand still."

Daphne stood still and hesitated, as she gently stood away from Justin and lowered her face like some regretful saint.

“Alpha Gideon,” Justin interjected firmly, “with all due respect, she’s my mate now. Whatever punishment she is suffering now she is under my protection.”

“She doesn't deserve it, you have to believe me,” Gideon interrupted, his tone flat. “And I can tell you she won't be a good Luna.”

A series of whispers came from the crowd.

Daphne continued to play the part as an innocent victim like a professional she was. “I never meant to hurt anyone,” she whispered. “I only wanted to be loved…”

Her voice sounded so fragile and broken some younger Wolves started to believe her words. I wanted to scream.

She was good — too good. She knew exactly how to manipulate wolves and gain sympathy without any problem.

Justin frowned. “Alpha Gideon I really think she deserves a second chance for herself.” Gideon’s eyes darkened. “Redemption doesn’t fix the damage she has done.”

The silence in the room was intense.

Even Daphne froze, her lip trembling just enough to sell the moment.
