The Untouchable Ex-Wife

An agreement.

Ryder's POV

I needed to catch up to my men but was busy and couldn't join them immediately. I saw the she-wolf sitting on the riverbank as we reached the river. She is a hybrid but also very beautiful with her dark hair and blue eyes under the full moon.

My warriors had already reached her, and I could see the blood on her clothes. She's busy telling them her story when she stops and smells the air. She looks up at me, and I can see her soul in her eyes. She's still very young. I must be at least fifteen years older than her. I don't have the strength and the time for this. I do not need a second chance mate.

I had a mate once. I loved her with all my heart, and she died next to me on the battlefield. She was a strong Luna, unlike this one. She looks weak. No wonder her mate did not want her. My nephew might not have thrown her into the river if she had shown more strength. However, my nephew hates hybrids. I know I have to protect her because she is a hybrid.

My wolf keeps screaming in my head, but I silence him because I do not want a mate again. She will never be Sonia! Sonia died too young, and we never had pups.

However, my pack is lost without a Luna so that I may reach an agreement with her. If she becomes my Luna, I will help her get revenge on her first mate. However, she will be my Luna in every way. I am not getting younger, and I need an heir! I can feel her power and know she can be strong. She needs training. I will train her myself. I will teach her everything, but I will not give her love.

"Get up! Stop feeling sorry for yourself. We need to talk. Take a walk with me. The rest of you go back to the packhouse." I say.

I know woman finds me attractive. After Sonia died, I had needs and had a few lovers, but none of them meant anything to me. My latest lover, Sarah, will not like me getting a new Luna. However, she will have to get over it. If I take a Luna, I will swear off all relationships I had as I am an Alpha of one of the strongest packs in the world. I will not let my Luna suffer.

My men leave, and I can see my beta Alex smiling. He can smile all he wants! I do not care. He is one of the men bothering me about getting a new Luna. I bet he's enjoying this because I know I can feel the bond between me and this little hybrid.

"What is your name?" I ask.

"My name is Clara Howard. I am the Luna of the Storm Forest Pack." Clara says. I know exactly who she is. I heard her tell her story. However, I want her to tell me about herself.

"Hmm. If you are the Luna, where is your mark?" I ask. I see her hand moving to where the marking spot of a werewolf or hybrid.

"It is gone. Noah must have taken his new mate and accepted my rejection. He must know I survived!" Clara says.

"Do you know who I am?" I ask.

"You are the Alpha of the Thunder River Pack. You are Noah's uncle, Ryder Black. I know we never met before because Noah never took me with him on any of his visits to you." Clara says.

I bet Noah has told her many lies about me. It does not look like she trusts me. It seems like she does not even like me. That is fine with me. I do not care. All I want for her is to become my mate and to get her revenge.

"I'm glad you know who I am. I bet you heard a lot about me. However, we both know that Zariah is not Noah's mate. The mate bond you and Noah had was real. We both know he will regret losing you. He may not feel the pain of your broken bond yet. It is because you have not taken another mate yet. You and I both know that we are second-chance mates. Do not worry. I also do not want a mate. However, I have a proposition for you. You become a mate, and I will help you to take revenge. I will train you personally, as I know your powers. In return, I want an heir. We will not have lovers. We will not hurt each other. The mate bond is strong, and I know how it hurts when your mate cheats on you. I never felt it, but I know how it must feel. I only know the pain of losing a mate. When your mate dies, the pain inside you is like a burning flame in your heart. Anyway, I'm not getting any younger and need an heir. There will be no love between us. Just an agreement." I say. Clara looks at me with new interest.

"I will do it, but I heard you like to have lovers. I do not want to feel the pain of betrayal from a mate again. Let me warn you if you have a lover. I will kill her." Clara says.、

"So, you think you can kill my pack members. You are not strong enough. I have trained them myself. However, never take me on! I am not your playmate! I am also not a weakling like my nephew! If I say I will not have lovers, I mean it, and I warn you, if you cheat on me, I will kill you and your lover," I say.

The jealousy of thinking about her in another man's arms makes my wolf go crazy. I am too old for this jealousy s**t! What the hell is wrong with my wolf? He never acted this way with Sonia. The woman walking out next to me is hardly a woman. She is young and still a girl in my eyes. I only need her for one thing: an heir!

My nephew has become very cocky. He can be glad that we are not at war already if it were not for the innocent people who would be killed. I would have gone to war with him a long time ago.

"Do not underestimate me. I may not be well trained, but I am not the little girl you think I am. I looked after myself my whole life. You should know what the life of a hybrid is in a Wolfpack that does not want you. You were banned from your father's pack!" Clara says.

Hmm. So, she has spirit, after all. I like the side of her more. She is not as innocent as she looks. I do not want the pathetic little girl act she pulled on my pack.

"So, you do have a backbone. I'm glad to see that. You have not answered me yet. Are you willing to become my mate? We are doing it for the pack and revenge. Do not expect love, as I told you. If you want to become a mate, I will give you everything but my heart. Do we have an agreement or not?" I ask.

If she wants to become my mate, I want to finish the ceremony quickly. I hear the howling of the werewolves across the river. I know they are running with their new Luna. I see her smile. I know she has heard it as well.

"We have an agreement. However, I want time before we have any pups. I am willing to give you an heir, but I can not train and fight if I am pregnant. We can, however, seal our bond. I don't mind sleeping with you. I want my own bedroom. I won't sleep in the bed where your first mate slept. I know that your heart still belongs to her. I do not want to intrude on your privacy. You can come to my room at night. If you do not like lovers, we will understand each other. I am also not planning on losing my heart again. We can do this. When do you want the ceremony to happen? Shall we do it tonight?" She asks.

"You are eager to get your revenge. You know, Noah will feel the pain when I take you tonight. You are his only mate, and Zaria is not his mate. Do you want him to feel the pain that you felt? Very well. We will do the ceremony tonight. Just remember one thing. When you are in bed with me, you will forget about Noah," I smile.

I know I'm a good lover. Some think I think too much of myself. I don't care what they think. Titan, my wolf rejoices in my head. I wish he would stop! This is not love. This is just an agreement. I am glad she agreed and is so eager to seal our bond. I did not want her to change her mind. Once she knows the real me, she might want to run away.
