Alpha Your Warrior Ex-Wife is Back (by Aurora Starling) novel Chapter 114

“I will try to think of a way,” I said softly with determination. “Something that will make him come with me willingly.”

Ivan sighed softly. “I trust you. But you have to be very careful. Daphne might be gone for now, but she’s never really gone. She will keep her eyes on this pack. Wait for my signal, and when it comes, take Leo and come to me. My pack's borders are safe for all three of you.”

I held onto my phone firmly and answered. “Alright thank you, Alpha Ivan.”

“I meant every word I said, Claire,” Ivan spoke with determination. “Don’t take unnecessary risks. Just focus on getting Leo to come with you. Protect him at all costs.”

“I definitely will,” I whispered.

We spoke a few more words—mostly assurances, mostly lies to keep each other calm—and then I hung up.

The moment I ended the call I laid on my bed exhausted but my heart was beating fast with worry and anxiety.

But before I could place my phone on the night stand I heard a faint creak. My instinct quickly alerted me and I got up to look at my door.

I turned to look at the door. There was nothing.

The hallway beyond looked empty, the candlelight flickering gently against the walls. But I could feel something. A presence—light, almost imperceptible—hovering just beyond sight.

I called out. “Tell me who is there?” But no one answered.

I rose and walked to the door, opening it just a crack.

The hall was empty, but a faint scent hung in the air—something floral and expensive, cloying, unmistakably Daphne.

My stomach felt very uncomfortable. “Goddess, no…” I whispered.

In shock I stepped back as I kept holding onto my phone to my chest as realization struck me like lightning. I hope she didn't hear.

But I knew she had to have heard.

Daphne’s POV

From her hiding spot in the shadowed alcove near the staircase, Daphne covered her mouth to stifle a laugh.
