Wooing My Ex-wife Again Novel by Natalie Winter

Anastasia

Julian was on his knees, begging me to give him another chance. However, it was not easy. Forgiving someone for saying something offensive was one thing, forgiving your life partner for bringing another woman into his life without a lick of remorse was another.

Julian’s eyes looked red, his face distraught.

“Please” He whispered in an unnaturally soft voice. Julian was a stubborn and arrogant man.

Begging and pleading were never his strong traits. In fact, those words did not even exist in his dictionary.

All he knew was to win, claim, and take.

“Just one day?” I asked, hating the way my heart thudded against my ribcage. Was I giving hope to him or myself?

Relief poured over his face as he wiped his eyes, looking at me hopefully. “Yes, twenty–four hours is all I need. Nothing more, nothing less.”

I hated the fact that I was giving him another chance at this, at anything to be honest but then I was tired of running away from him, tired of not being able to live my life freely.

There was no chance in hell that I was going to return to him. I just wanted him to leave me alone whether it was the human world or here, in the world of werewolves.

If giving him twenty–four hours of my life meant that I would never have to face him again, I was willing to risk it.

I narrowed my eyes, blurting out the statement that had been dancing on the tip of my tongue.

“Just so you know, it will still not relieve you of the blood oath. You will still never try to harm me or my daughter, never force me to come back in your life, and always do your best to protect Lea.”

He had the nerve to look hurt at my declaration yet he nodded his head. “I was never going to ask you to relieve me of that.”

“Ok and what are we going to do in these twenty–four hours exactly?” I

asked, still unsure of whether I wanted to say yes out loud.

A hint of a smile appeared on his lips.

“I only want to spend my time with you and then maybe share some things. with you.”

I narrowed my gaze. “I am not going to share a bed, a room, a small space or anything that involves intimacy with you.”

He threw me a surprised look. “You thought I was going to chain you to my bed and have my way with you? That thought never crossed my mind but now that you mentioned it…”

He lowered his voice and added in a whisper, “….it does sound appealing to me. Very, very appealing.”

I ignored the way he used that rough, raspy voice of his that would always. make my knees tremble. He knew that very well. And he was using it to hist advantage.

This was not fair.

“Shut up” I hissed and he raised both of his hands in mock surrender, taking a step back.

“As you say, Lady Anastasia” I leveled my gaze at him but was spared coming up with a reply as the door behind me burst open.

Lea had pushed the doors open and was running towards me while my mother trying to keep up behind her.

Julian had been standing in her way, his back facing the door and met standing a few feet away from him.

“Mummy, we are going to be late”

Lea spoke and came blindly running forward. A squeaky toy of hers was lying on the floor and her foot fell on it.

I extended my hand to run forward and break her fall but Julian had picked. her up from the side without even looking at her, only tilted slightly to the left and deposited her on his right in the blink of an eye.

Lea looked dazed for a second and I had opened my mouth to scold him when Lea turned her gaze at him.

“That was awesome!” She chirped, staring at him in admiration.

I stopped in my tracks as I saw the way she stared at him. Julian grinned and

replied, “No problem, Lady Lea. It is an honor to protect you.”

Lea squealed in excitement, bobbing up and down her heels..

Mummy, did you see that?”

I ignored Julian’s grin and went to her, squatting down on the ground.

“Are you okay?”

She nodded vigorously. “I am. That was cool, right? I hope I will be able to do that when I grow up.”

Julian added, “Of course you can, Lady Lea. You have your mother’s blood. She is a great fighter.”

Lea beamed and turned to look at him again, the same awe etched on her face.

“Granny told me that Sean is busy and I saw smoke and…and….debris….that is the word, right?”

She asked and I nodded.

“Yeah, smoke and debris everywhere. He told me he had to help Grandpa with everything.”

I sighed, “You met him?”

Lea nodded, “When you

He said he wanted to come and would try to finish soon and join us later.”

ears.

“It is okay, we are going to have loads of fun today.”

Julian suddenly interrupted.

“Is it okay if I join you?” He asked and I glared at him. Today was going to be a perfect day for my daughter. He was not going to have a say in it.

“I only said I would give you twenty four hours of my life. I never said it was going to be today.”

I said, dismissing him but Julian slowly added,

“I was not asking you.”

He turned his attention to Lea and went down on a knee, placing a hand on his heart and bowing his head a little.

“Lady Lea. if you allow me. I would want the pleasure of enjoying your Company

1 ea giggled again, placing her hands on her mouth.

She had been enamored by him because she knew he was an alpha and that he was the leader of a pack.

So to have the leader of a huge pack bow down to her made her feel all excited and giddy, 1 shook my head and looked at my mother as if to say You fill her head with useless things”

Mom had been still standing at the door, watching the scene play out, and only shrugged defensively.

My father definitely hated Julian but my mother hovered somewhere between indifference and slight hate. She easily agreed to whatever my father said so it was as if my father ruled both the pack and our house. “Alpha Julian, Lady Lea will be happy to accept your request.” She slid a hand into Julian’s outstretched hand and giggled again while Julian placed a quick kiss on her little knuckles.

“The honor is mine, Lady Lea. He then jerked his chin to look up at me. “What are we going to do with her? Should we bring her along?” Julian asked and even Lea pretended to think about it as if it was a serious discussion. tapping her fingers on her chin.

So much for being my daughter and never leaving her mother’s side. Just a . smile and some sweet talk and my daughter was already liking him. “She is supposed to love her father” My wolf mumbled in my head. “Yeah, a father who did not even know she existed until a few days ago. And who has not asked me once who her father is.” I responded dryly.

“That is exactly the reason he didn’t, Ana. He definitely knows who her father is. What I wonder about is why he hasn’t spoken about it yet.” My wolf replied, and I had no answer.
