Nimue POV

It's been two days, and I had not seen Reginald.

Two days of telling myself I didn't care. Two days of staring at the ceiling in my empty bed, replaying that library confrontation like a wound I keep picking at. Two days of pretending the taste of his lips on my neck didn't haunt me.

I had just put Reggie to sleep—my sweet boy—and decided to take a routine walk around the mansion. The hallways are dim at this hour, lit only by sconces that cast long shadows against the wooden panellin

    Reginald POV"YOU LAUGHED YOU DUMB FUCK!"Monica's voice rang through the guest suite.I winced."Monica...""No!" she snapped. "Do not Monica me, Reginald Hathaway!"I rubbed my temples.This was exactly why pretending to date Monica was a terrible idea.The woman had the emotional restraint of a grenade.She paced across the room in outrage.Her wolf was practically vibrating beneath her skin."I cannot believe you!""I already said I was sorry.""Oh, you're sorry?" she repeated dramatically. "Wonderful. That completely fixes the fact that your terrifying stepmother and ex compared me to a stray dog while you sat there laughing!"I pressed my lips together.That was not entirely accurate.I hadn't laughed immediately.I'd waited several seconds.Monica pointed an accusing finger at me."Do you know what the worst part was?"I had a feeling I was about to find out regardless."What?""You seemed to be enjoying it!"I immediately looked away.That was a bit close to the truth.Unfortu

    Nimue POVThe moment I entered my bedroom, I slammed the door shut behind me.I stood motionless for several seconds before walking toward the full-length mirror beside the wardrobe.My reflection stared back at me.I tried my best at appearing calm and composed.But I was a complete liar.I inhaled slowly.Then exhaled.Again.And again.It wasn't helping.My emotions were spiraling beneath the surface.I pressed both hands against the dressing table and stared at my reflection.Why was I upset?Monica's words hadn't hurt me.The woman had embarrassed herself.I had put her in her place.The matter was over.So why was my wolf pacing restlessly beneath my skin?Why was I still hearing her voice in my head?Why was I still seeing her draped all over Reginald?A knock sounded at the door.I immediately straightened.My expression smoothed into something pleasant."Come in."The door opened.Alpha Gerald stepped inside.Concern was written all over his face."Nimue."I offered him a gen

    Reginald POVI was a genius.At least, that was what I kept telling myself.The hooker incident had been the first phase of my plan. A foolproof plan.Well, maybe not foolproof.But it was definitely supposed to make Nimue jealous.As much as I honestly did not know if my plan worked, I hoped it stirred something inside her.And somehow that woman still had the power to make me feel like I was sixteen years old and desperately trying to impress my first crush.If Nimue wanted to act as though my return meant absolutely nothing to her, then fine.I could play that game too.I would show her that I had moved on.I would show her that women lined up for the opportunity to be with me.I would show her that Reginald Hathaway was perfectly capable of finding happiness elsewhere.Which was why I had invited Monica.In hindsight, it was a terrible idea.Monica Monroe came from one of the most influential Alpha families in America.She was beautiful.Rich.Confident.Sophisticated.Everything

    Nimue/Reginald POVBy the time I reached the east hallway, I could barely breathe properly.My chest hurt so badly it felt like someone had ripped my heart open with their bare hands.The sounds from Reginald’s room still echoed inside my head.That woman’s moans.His bed hitting the wall.The thought of him touching another woman so casually after everything between us made me feel sick with humiliation.What was wrong with me?Why did I still care?I hated myself for.Six years ago, I told myself I would never allow Reginald Hathaway to hurt me again. I survived rejection, humiliation, pregnancy, loneliness, and the cruel whispers of an entire pack because of him.Yet one night of hearing another woman in his room reduced me to this.Pathetic.I wiped furiously at my tears as I hurried through the corridor, praying nobody would see me like this.Unfortunately, fate hated me tonight.“Nimue?”I froze immediately.Alpha Gerald stood at the end of the hallway wearing a dark robe, conce

    Reginald POVEvery night before bed, Nimue took a quiet walk through the mansion corridors and gardens. Sometimes she stopped by the kitchen for tea. Sometimes she checked on Reggie before returning to her room. It had become predictable enough for me to use against her.And tonight, I planned to.Earlier in the evening, I paid one of the servants to keep watch and inform me the moment Nimue started her nightly walk. The servant looked nervous taking the money, but he still accepted it.I sat in my bedroom with a glass of whiskey in hand while the woman I hired lounged across my bed wearing nothing except black lace underwear.She was beautiful in the artificial kind of way. Heavy makeup. Long blonde hair. Curves designed to tempt weak men.But she did absolutely nothing for me.I only wanted Nimue to hear us.That was the entire point.The servant knocked softly on my door twenty minutes later.“Lady Nimue just left her room, Alpha Reginald.”Perfect.I dismissed him and turned towar

Two days of pretending the taste of his lips on my neck didn't haunt me.I had just put Reggie to sleep—my sweet boy—and decided to take a routine walk around the mansion. The hallways are dim at this hour, lit only by sconces that cast long shadows against the wooden panelling. My feet carry me automatically toward Reginald’s room.Then I hear it.A sound that freezes the blood in my veins.I stop mid-step, my heart lurching. The noise comes from Reginald's room—his door slightly ajar, a sliver of golden light spilling into the corridor. I tell myself to walk away. I tell myself I don't care what he does, who he does it with.But my feet betray me.I move closer, my heels silent against the carpet. The sounds become clearer. A woman's moans—low, throaty, shameless.
