Claimed by My Ex Chapter 109 Let go of me!

Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Let go of !

Victoria’s POV

I coughed violently, water burning my lungs as consciousness returned to my foggy mind. My wolf, Nora, stirred anxiously within , sensing danger before I could fully process what was happening.

Strong arms held

in a vise-like grip. As my vision cleared, a sickeningly familiar voice assaulted my ears.

"Victoria, my Victoria, you’re awake!" Ethan’s voice dripped with desperate obsession. "You promised we’d never be apart again, rember? You just agreed to it!"

His scent—that once-familiar smoky cologne now tainted with sothing sour and wrong—made my stomach turn. Nora growled inside , hackles raised in warning.

"Let go of !" I pushed against his chest, but my limbs felt heavy and uncoordinated. The drug he’d used still coursed through my system, making it impossible to summon my Alpha strength.

Ethan seized my hands, his fingers digging painfully into my wrists. "I’ll never let you go, Victoria. Never again. I’ve learned my lesson. We’ll be happy together, just the two of us, with no complications. Don’t you want that?"

"You said you forgave

already," he continued, his eyes wild with delusion. "I knew you still loved . My Victoria, my mate..."

The moon reflected in his eyes revealed a fractured mind. This wasn’t the Ethan I thought I knew for five years. This was a predator, dangerous and unhinged.

"Ethan, release

right now!" I demanded, my voice stronger as Nora pushed against my human form, desperate to protect us.

I glanced around, finally taking in my surroundings. We were at so abandoned dock, waves crashing against weathered pilings. The cold night air whipped around us, carrying the scent of salt and decay. No lights, no people—just darkness and isolation.

"You’re sick," I hissed. "What do you want? I never agreed to anything! We’re over—our bond was severed the mont you betrayed !"

The wind howled across the water, matching the rising panic in my chest. My thin blouse clung to my skin, soaked through from when he’d dunked

in the freezing water. I shivered involuntarily, and Ethan’s grip tightened.

"You’re cold, Victoria," he murmured, pulling

closer against his chest. "I’ll keep you warm. I’ll always take care of you."

His embrace felt like being trapped by a python—suffocating and inescapable. Every cell in my body revolted against his touch. If only I had my full strength, I would have shattered his jaw with a single blow.

"Ethan Sterling, you’ve lost your mind," I said through clenched teeth. "We are DONE. Our bond is broken, and I don’t want you in my life!"

"Impossible!" he snarled, his eyes flashing with Leon’s amber light. "I never accepted that. Five years, Victoria! Five years we shared everything. You can’t just forget what we had. You agreed to forgive —you nodded your head when I asked you!"

The delusional certainty in his voice chilled

more than the wind.

"When exactly did I agree? When I was unconscious?" I spat. "You’re completely deranged."

"Just before you woke up," he insisted. "I said your silence ant forgiveness, and you nodded."

"You manipulated my unconscious body?" Disgust rolled through

in waves. "You’re even more pathetic than I thought. This isn’t about

at all, is it? This is about the Lancaster na, about the Crescent Dawn Pack. You just want access to my Alpha bloodline and my family’s power."

Nora snapped her jaws inside , desperate to erge and tear out Leon’s throat.

"You want the Lancaster fortune and influence," I continued, watching his face. "You never wanted —just what I represent. How does it feel to be so transparently greedy, Ethan?"

His expression faltered for a mont, confirming my accusation. Then his features smoothed into practiced sincerity.

"Victoria, that’s not true. I love you for you, not for your na or your pack position. My feelings have nothing to do with the Crescent Dawn Pack or Lancaster Industries."

I laughed bitterly. "Do you even believe your own lies anymore? Tell , Ethan, what about your secretary? Have you been sleeping with her too?"

His silence was confirmation enough.

"You’re cheating on your wife—the woman you chose over —and now you’re trying to add

back to your collection? How pathetic. How absolutely revolting."

"It’s all a misunderstanding," he pleaded, desperation creeping into his voice. "I’ll divorce Scarlett imdiately if you co back to . And Mona—she seduced ! I was drunk, I thought she was you. She kept tempting

until I made a mistake. But I swear, Victoria, once we’re together again, I’ll cut them all off. You were always ant to be mine."

Every word that left his mouth made

sicker. Blaming others for his weakness, refusing to take responsibility for his actions—he was unworthy of being called a wolf, let alone a man.

"Being with you was the darkest Chapter of my life, Ethan. Now get your hands off !" With a surge of renewed strength, I shoved him away and scrambled to my feet, preparing to run.

His face twisted with rage. "You’re forcing my hand, Victoria!"

He lunged for , catching

before I could get far. My legs still weak from the drug, I couldn’t outpace him. He dragged

back toward the car, his fingers bruising my arm.

"I’ve only slept with two won," he hissed, his voice turning ugly. "But you? You’ve been with how many n now? I don’t even care anymore! I’m willing to share you with all those other n. I just want a chance! Why won’t you give

that?"

My wet blouse clung to my skin as he threw

against the car. The thin white fabric had beco nearly transparent in the moonlight. I saw his eyes rake over my body with possessive hunger.

"Since you won’t listen to reason..." he growled, his hands suddenly grasping the front of my blouse.

The sound of tearing fabric echoed in the night as he ripped my shirt open. His eyes widened, fixating on my exposed skin with an intensity that made my wolf howl in fury.

Then his gaze stopped on my neck, narrowing at the fading mark there. His finger traced roughly over the tender spot where Damien’s lips had been just days before.

"Who did this?" he snarled, his voice distorted with rage. "Which male dared to touch what’s mine? Was it Damien? Did you let my brother claim you?"

The jealousy in his eyes turned them feral as Leon fought for control, making Ethan’s features shift subtly toward his wolf. His fingers dug painfully into my throat where the mark remained, and I knew with absolute certainty that if I didn’t act now, I might not survive this night.
