Wooing My Ex-wife Again Novel by Natalie Winter

Anastasia

I went to my room after I ran a few more laps and called it a day. I had exercised enough for my first day after returning home.

Sean’s words and the way he said he knew what the pain and betrayal felt lik kept popping up in my head as I returned to my i

Scan and I had always been good friends in childhood but I had never thought he would return back to our pack.

I had heard rumors of how he was going to travel abroad with Julia for a few years and then decide where to settle

As far as I knew, to make it work, he had even given up on his future beta title. He had really gone far and beyond to make it work.

Julian was not my fated mate yet the pain hurt so I could only imagine what Sean must have gone through when Julia went around sleeping with not one but multiple men.

“Mummy”

Lea’s voice dragged me out of my thoughts. She had woken up and was rubbing her eyes.

“Good morning, my little angel” I greeted her and placed a kiss on her forehead.

“Did you sleep well?” I asked, scooping her up in my arms.

She let out a yawn as I brushed her hair aside and then she sniffed the air and turned to look at me.

“Mummy, you should take a bath”

I pinched her cheek and muttered, “Oh, yes Miss Lea, I was about to do that.”

Then I proceeded to sniff and added, “I low about you brush your teeth too”

She giggled and I led her to the bathroom.

Lea began brushing her teeth while I stripped off and turned the shower off.

I had nobody to look after her before I hired Lizzy so I would often take her inside the bathroom

But now when I did it, she placed a hand on her eyes.

“Mummy, I am still here!” She added indignantly and I sprinkled some water in her direction.

“So? You are all grown up now and cannot see your mom shower?”

She gargled and splashed water on her face.

“Of course, I am going to get a big wolf soon.”

“Very funny. Now, go outside to Grandma and close the doors on your way out. Ask her to give you pancakes or oats for breakfast.”

Lea shook her head again. “No, I will eat something healthier. I need protein to build those muscles, mummy.”

I gave her an amused smile. I had to tell Mom to stop filling my little girl’s head with so much information. She was barely four.

Lea had plenty of time to grow up and awaken her wolf.

I focused on getting the sweat and little dust particles off my skin and hair. I recalled I had bought a nice shower gel while shopping with Mom so I gave it a try.

It had a nice minty lavender scent and I let myself relax, and my muscles loosen before stepping out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed.

My phone rang and I was about to silence it, thinking that it was Julian but the number was different.

Curious, I picked it up and I heard a gentle voice from the other end.

“Am I talking to Miss Anastasia Gilbert?”

I replied in the affirmative.

“This is Molly, your daughter’s class teacher. I wanted to check the reason for her absence from school.”

I bit my lower lip. “It is a family emergency. A distant relative fell sick and I am not sure how long it would take me to return.”

Molly answered, “I usually don’t give call to parents directly but Miss Gilbert, you have not attended the last two PTAS either and now you took your daughter away from school for an indefinite amount of time. I wanted to stress on the importance of how this would disrupt your daughter’s learning.”

I guiltily replied, “I am aware of it, Miss Molly. If you give me the list of important lessons and homework she has to complete, I will try my best to keep her updated.”

Chapter 25

Miss Molly’s voice sounded resigned.

“I cannot do that, Miss Gilbert. A student needs to learn in a classroom with others. And Lea is a bright child. If you wish to homeschool her, I cannot stop you but think about her future carefully.”

I nervously fidgeted with my fingers.

“Please, I will try to get her back to school as soon as possible. Meanwhile, I will also try to ensure that I attend the next PTA.”

The teacher’s voice sounded hopeful. “That is great to hear. It is on Monday, the 20th. You still have 10 days to figure out a way to help her attend school regularly.”

I disconnected the call and gave it some thought. Now that I had asked Julian to never force his alpha command on me and he agreed to it, I did not have to keep running away from him.

That meant I could let Lea attend school and maybe return to the human world again.

But should I do that? And would my parents leave me now that I was home after so many years?

The phone rang again and I hastily picked it up, thinking it was Lea’s teacher again.

However, I heard Julian from the other end.

“Good morning, Ana.”

“Why did you call?” I asked in a rough voice.

His bright and cheerful tone lowered a little.

“Nothing much. Just wanted to check when you would be coming over to meet Vivian.”

I had forgotten all about his sick mother.

“How is she now?” I asked.

“Oh, she is so happy and looking forward to meeting you. She has asked me, the maids, and just about everyone about you and when

you are coming around 50 times since you spoke to her on

the video call.”

“Can I talk to her on the phone again today? I am feeling a little ill.” I lied.

Truth was I did not want to see him. Not after the images I had received of him and Angelica in

bed.

“Oh, if you are feeling sick, please take care. Would you need medications or a doctor’s visit? Perhaps, I can take you to the pack doctor.”

Chapter 25

“I don’t need you to take me anywhere. And you and forgetting my pack lus a doctor too,”

1 replied sternly.

“That is not your pack, Ana. This is, You belong to the Silvermoon pack.”

I scoffed. “I don’t. We are divorced. Plus stop calling me Ana.”

“Yes, you do. No, we aren’t divorced. But, yes, if it makes you uncomfortable, I will call you Anastasia.”

“Hey, Alpha Julian, I need your signature on the papers from yesterday’s meeting for official

records.”

I heard his beta, Victor’s voice on the phone from behind him.

“Yeah, give me five minutes, Vic. I am on an important call.”

Victor did not budge. “It will take just a minute, alpha. They were already annoyed yesterday to be kept waiting for so long.”

I heard Julian let out an irritated breath as he answered, “You know I was busy negotiating that wretched tax clause. Now gol!”

I felt anger rise in me when Julian said that. He had not been busy negotiating any tax clause. He had been busy fucking Angelica all night.

I bristled with irritation and spoke loudly.

“Stop lying, will you?”

Julian seemed taken aback and asked, “Excuse me?
