Wooing My Ex-wife Again Novel by Natalie Winter

I was seated in my office chair, the paperweight twirling on the desk as I went through the file in front of me.

But my mind kept drifting back to Anastasia and our little drive where we had shared pastries and sweets with each other.

No matter how hard I tried, I could not get her out of my head. I had been sitting in the office for hours but had barely gotten past the first page.

Somebody cleared their throat and I looked in that direction.

Victor was standing in front of me with a raised eyebrow.

“Why are you smiling to yourself and looking out the window?” He asked. Michael appeared behind him, holding another file for me to go through. “He got to prove how good he is in a fight in front of our Luna, didn’t you hear?” Michael asked Victor, feigning shock.

“Did he now?” Victor asked.

“Of course. The guards were gossiping about how yesterday Anastasia had shown up and our lovely alpha ran towards her, screaming and kicking at her driver.”

A muscle in my jaw twitched and I angrily turned the page over. “Oh my Goddess” Victor replied, “Then what happened?”

“Apparently, our beloved and mighty alpha almost got knocked out by a mere driver and the Luna had to step in before matters went out of hand.” “Will you two shut up and work?” I asked with a scornful face.

“Imagine getting assaulted by a driver and…”

I got up from my chair, sending it flying down towards the wall behind me.

“He was not her driver, you dumbass. He is Sean Nordik.”

At that, Victor and Michael both turned to look at me.

“Sean Nordik? That son of a beta who thought he had the biggest dick in the world?”

I nodded, coiling my hands into fists when I recalled how Sean had

comforted Anastasia.

“Yeah him”

Victor shook his head. “Then you know him. He always tried to pick a fight. with you before transferring to an academy overseas.”

Michael nodded in affirmation. “Yeah, I recall how he would try to smugly show everyone how he was fit to be an alpha, not a beta, and fed people

nonsense.”

Sean was smart, calculative, and for some reason used to always pick a fight with me. And that is why I had been relieved to see him leave for overseas education.

I was also relieved that he had not been around Anastasia all this time but I could only curse my rotten luck that he was back.

To make matters worse, he was mateless and appeared to care for Anastasia. She was the alpha’s daughter and marrying her would elevate his position to an alpha instead of a beta.

Just the thought of him trying to use my Ana for his selfish interests began to boil my blood.

“We were kids back then. But I doubt anything has changed about him.” I spoke, fear evident in my voice.

Thankfully, my warriors stopped pulling my leg when they heard the real reason why I had lost my temper and did not give me a hard time about it.

Hell, they even understood me and sympathized with me.

“Did you try to talk to our Luna?” Michael asked worriedly.

I let out a sigh.

“She doesn’t want anything to do with me. I somehow forced her to show up here because of Mom but I doubt she would want to see my face again.”

Victor added, “That means Sean gets more time to get closer to her.”

I snarled. “I won’t let that dick ruin my life.”

My nails dug into the palm of my hands and I felt warm blood ooze out of my skin.

Why was fate and the Moon Goddess so hellbent on making me miserable? Had I not suffered enough?

“You have to do something about Sean. Alpha. If he tries to influence his pack or our Luna’s father, it would bring in huge trouble for us. Luna’s father already has a bad impression about you.

“There is no need to remind me of that, beta

I looked at Victor sharply. I knew her family did not think high of me and it was only Anastasia’s trust in me that made them sit quietly. But now, they were being quite open about their hatred of me.

And I was stuck because I had little to hold onto her. We werewolves did not always follow human customs and traditions.

I had gotten married to Anastasia but she sent me a divorce without giving me any chance to deny it. And since she was not my fated mate. I also could not hold onto her by delaying the rejection.

“Fuck” I ran a hand through my hair. This was getting more and more complicated.

I flicked my hand over the open file, sending it toppling over the glass of water and spilling all of it on the papers.

My beta and gamma had brought in a huge stack of files for me to go through after the last meeting in which nobody showed up.

We three hastily cleaned up the mess and tried to repair the damage but a few papers bled out the ink and the pages got torn.

I shook my head as Michael grabbed the files and replied. “We have the soft copies, if you want I will print them again for you.

“I think I had an extra one just lying around somewhere”

Michael added as he looked through the drawers.

This had been a crucial monthly meeting but people’s reluctance to show up told me that I was losing importance in the werewolf community.

I had to work hard to live up to everybody’s expectations and redeem myself.

Victor brought another file and placed it on top of the file, making me roll

my eyes.

“Why do I need to check every damn thing now?” I asked irritably.

The monthly meeting will be held next month so there is still time. I had to deal with Sean first.

There was a knock on the door and I looked at Victor to answer it while I wiped my hands off with a tissue.

One of the guards bowed and replied. “Alpha Julian, this package is signed in your name. I have to hand it over to you only.”

“Victor, take it,” I said with a dismissive tone, expecting some

correspondence from neighboring alphas about routine administrative

stuff.

Victor turned the envelope over and tore it open as I kept looking outside the window.

And I heard him suck in a breath, making me look at him again.

“What is the matter?” I asked.

He shook his head and hastily tried to put whatever he was seeing back in the envelope.

“Nothing alpha. We should focus on the meeting for next month.”

I furrowed my eyebrows at him. “You were agreeing with me a few minutes. ago of how that dick is an asshole and now you suddenly want to talk about the monthly meeting?”

“Technically, those two are on the opposite sides of the body.” Victor tried to joke but I glared at him.

Victor looked at Michael for help who also seemed to struggle for a

response.

“Just why do you look like you saw a ghost?”

Michael had been standing beside Victor but he quickly placed a hand on Victor’s shoulder and added, “You should go and check on the patrol guards.”

Before Victor could leave. I snatched the envelope from him and a few papers fell out of it flat on the floor.

I bent them to pick up and it felt as if my veins were on fire when I saw that they were not papers but images.

Sean, Ana, and Lea were sitting together, laughing and chatting with each other in a few images.

But the last two images were of Sean cupping my wife’s face, and looking into her eyes. His face was close to hers, too damn close. And it was then that I read something that was written with a marker on Sean’s arm in the photograph.

I’ll be there for her

“Who sent this?” Michael asked irritably as Victor answered, “There is no name of the sender or address. Just that it should be delivered to you.”

held those pics up and tore them from the middle, severing Sean’s hands in the process that were touching my wife’s face.

And crumpled the piece that had Sean’s face into a ball, anger rising up in me.

“I am going to kill you, Sean, for daring to eye my woman.”
