Alpha Your Warrior Ex-Wife is Back (by Aurora Starling) novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54

“Shut up, Daphne.”

I spoke in my Alpha voice.

She looked at me with shock, the silence fell in the whole room for a few moments. The weight of my command pressured everyone except Alpha Ivan,

She looked at me speechless. She had never liked being dismissed, least of all in public. I looked at her coldly with determination, she faltered under my Alpha command,

“Leave Now!” I said coldly yet sharply.

She clenched her jaw as the anger and something darker passed through her eyes but she didn’t argue any further, she turned around and stormed out of the room. The click of her heels down the corridor was the only sound until the door slammed shut behind her.

Silence again. But this one felt heavier.

Prince Ivan’s chest rose and fell asleep he looked at me sharply, his hands clenched into the fist, his body shaking with anger. “Even right now.” He growled angrily and continued to speak with a shaky voice “You are letting the snake come close to her and Raven is paying the price for it.”

I lowered my head for the first time, unable to deny him. The words I wanted to speak, all the oaths, promises and confessions died with my voice. I had no right to defend myself. Not when Raven is still laying on the bed unconscious.

Price Ivan’s gaze burned my confidence, his gaze was sharpened. He stepped closer to me again, and whispered coldly with a growl that meant more than the shout.

“Listen to me Alpha Gideon,” he said each word deliberately and heavily. “If this happens again–if she so much as suffers one more time under your roof–I will take her away from you.”

My wolf snarled inside me at the threat, but I stood still, rigid, my eyes fixed on his.

“I will take both Raven and Nova back to my pack.” Ivan continued his tone was fierce and unyielding, “I will not watch Raven and Nova wither in this cursed place while you stand here and fail them.”

Prince Ivan’s words were louder than his roar, they were bitter but true.

He turned around sharply, his broad frame walking towards the door, his steps were loud against the floor. He gave a last gentle glance at Raven and left the room, leaving his echoes of rage.

I stood still as the pressure of heavy silence fell on me.

The children stirred softly, Nove murmured softly in her sleep against her mother’s softly arm. Raven didn’t even move or flinched, she was laying still. Too still. Leo finally looked up as he looked at me pale faced, I realized he heard everything.

Price Ivan’s words were like unbreakable shackles, they made me feel very helpless. If this happens again, I will take her away from you.

My wolf growled and snarled in protest, angered by Ivan’s threat. But the truth was like blades against my throat.

I had already failed her once. Twice, even. And failure was no longer an option.

I walked closer to her bed. My large frame covers Raven and children by my shadow. I gently held her hand in mine, her hands were warm due to being covered by the blanket.

“You won’t be taken from me,” I murmured, my voice hoarse, meant only for her. “Not by death, not by poison, not by anyone’s hand. I will find whoever did this, Raven. I swear on my blood and life. Justice will be yours only. And if it costs me everything… then so be it.”

The wolf stirred inside me, agreeing, its vow entwining with mine.

Ivan could rage and storm. Daphne can always plot in the shadows. The traitors could think

themselves clever.

But none of them can compare to Alpha’s promise. And I had just made mine.
