Alpha Your Warrior Ex-Wife is Back (by Aurora Starling) novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89

Claire’s POV

The hallway had suddenly become very cold and Daphne’s laugh rang through it, making me feel goosebumps. Her smile, no it was not longer a smile but a sneer her face wasn’t completely human anymore, it felt like her wolf was slowly taking control of her. She now snarled as she revealed her Malice and venom without shame.

My heart felt heavy in my ribs, I felt fear but not because of Daphne, it was because of the heir of this pack and my son.

Leo.

If I let Daphne have Gideon… if I handed him over to her because I was too afraid to fight… my son. would never forgive me. Neither would Gideon. And maybe, I will feel guilty and won’t be able to forgive myself as well.

I drew in a sharp breath, pressing my lips into a firm line, and turned to Gideon.

He stood behind me, swaying slightly, his pupils blown wide from the drug coursing through his

veins.

His jaw clenched, and though his body betrayed him, his eyes… his eyes begged me not to give in. Even in his weakened state, even when fire was twisting through his body, he shook his head firmly as if to say: Don’t you dare hand me over.

His plea made me realise that I can’t give up on him and my situation was dire, I can’t offend both of them, I might as well protect Gideon, I don’t care about Daphne anyway.

I squared my shoulders, stepping in front of him. “Stay behind me Alpha.” I told him, as I gently pushed him behind me, my voice firm and calm.

I turned and looked at Daphne. “You will not have him.”

After those words left my mouth I knew, I won’t be able to back out now.

Daphne finally snapped completely as her anger took over her. Her lip curled as she bared her teeth in a snarl that was a mix of her human and wolf side. Then her body bent forward unnaturally, her bones snapping, skin stretching, fur ripping through pale flesh.

Her furious screams became angry howls.

In seconds, Daphne was in her wolf form as she towered over me, her wolf form looked vicious and massive. Her amber eyes burned with hatred, and her claws scraped long and were very sharp, jagged lines against the stone floor as she lowered herself to pounce.

The air was filled with her killing intent.

My wolf stirred with uneasiness as she wanted me to let her out but I know this is not the right time. to show my wolf form so I built walls around her to keep her from getting noticed, even though I wanted to fight Daphne fair and square, I knew it was not possible.

I couldn’t. Not here. Not in front of Gideon. If I revealed myself now, everything I had worked so hard to protect would crumble.

So I stood as I was. Human. Fragile. But unyielding.

Daphne lunged at me.

My senses heightened as she ran towards me with all her four legs while showing her claws and teeth. I threw myself sideways just in time, the tip of her claws grazing across my cheek. I felt a sharp sting as I felt my hot blood sliding down on my face.

I stumbled a bit but I managed to catch myself before falling and quickly turned around and saw her coming towards me with terrifying grace, her claws left cracks of strength on the floor.

She lunged at me again, this time more deliberate and faster.

I ducked low, rolling across the floor, her claws missing my head by inches. Her claws struck the wall instead, the wall was left with a massive crack.

My lungs were exhausted and screamed for air as I quickly stood up. My palms were getting sticky with sweat. I clenched my hands into fists and raised them knowing it is a useless fight between

human and wolf.

She prowled around me in a circle, her eyes looked at me straight and her snarl was like a thunder in

her throat.

“Come on Daphne,” I spoke firmly while gritting my teeth as I looked at her fully alert as I taunted her. “You’ll have to do better than that, you have to show me that you are a true luna.”
