~Althea

Three days later, I'm strolling around the courtyard, walking aimlessly with the thoughts of what Alaric said still stuck in my mind.

I turned the proposal over in my head for the hundredth time, sighing each time I came to a particular conclusion. That was when I saw Caiden coming from the east corridor. I paused, about to wave at him, but… he wasn't alone.

Hmmm, who's that?

The man beside him was older, well-dressed. But that attire looked way too familiar… then it clicked.

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   49. Blind Luna

    ~AltheaThe scream cut through the floor again, and my muscles tensed; I bit my lower lip, thinking of a plan, my chin tucked down.Nobody in that hall so much as exhaled, as they flinched towards each other, whimpering.I stumbled over frantic thoughts, unaware that the woman behind me had grabbed a fistful of my cloak at some point, until I felt the fabric pulling tight at my shoulder. But I didn't shake her off; instead, I pulled her in closer.The screaming outside went on for several seconds, then it stopped abruptly. The silence that followed was suffocating and charged, worse than the screaming itself.Then out of nowhere a staggering stench hit my nose, almost making me retch. My stomach twisted as I unintentionally looked sideways without fully turning my head, only to discover that one of the breeders near the front had peed herself.She was staring at the floor, her face completely empty of color with a dark stain spreading slowly down the inside of her shaking legs.A snee

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   48. Strip Them

    ~AltheaAs if he sensed my discomfort, he turned around, eyes sweeping across the crowd, and my stomach lurched so hard I nearly stumbled on the spot. I dropped my head quickly, letting my hair fall over my face, and praying to every deity that existed that he hadn't seen my face in that half second.I peeked over my hair, letting out a breath as I watched him dismiss the guard he was talking to with a wave, before saying something low to a man beside him, then started walking away without looking at any of us twice.The man he spoke to approached us, before clearing his throat. "I'm Alpha Halter's Beta. Follow me.”Immediately the breeders moved, nudging me forward also, and I moved with them, keeping my head down while pulling my cloak closer around me, but inside me? It was a mess. The nerves were crawling up my skin, and I could feel my back sweaty and clinging to my dress.I glanced back. About to tell Sera my predicament, but she wasn't behind me. My brows furrowed instantly.H

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   47. Vespera's Uncle, What Are The Odds?

    ~Althea"Is that why you also suspected Alpha Caiden?" I asked. "Because of Vespera?"Alaric said nothing. He just watched me silently, and even his silence has its own kind of answer. So I nodded slowly, more to myself than to him."It wasn't him," I confirmed, “we were together, and why would he want to hurt me?”With that, I turned about to walk away. "I'm leaving tomorrow," I told him over my shoulder. "You have until then, Alpha, to find whoever is behind this and sort out Nolan. That's the deal."I heard him shift behind me, surely not liking the way I handled it. Then I paused, not planning to, but because there was one more thing I needed to say, and I was going to say it while I still had the nerve.I turned back to him, just slightly enough, and lowered my voice so it stayed between us."I know you were testing me," I held his intense stare, "With the mission. With all of it. Seeing if I was fit enough to be your Luna.” He arched a brow, surprise and amusement clearly dancin

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   46. Jealous Rage

    ~Althea"Caiden!"My voice cracked through the heavy atmosphere as I leaned further over the railing, straining to see anything in the darkness below.But I got nothing, just thick, charged silence, paired with the sound of my own heartbeat slamming in my ears.At least it was a one-story building, so he wouldn't be too hurt and would be on his way here now.I whipped around. "Why would you do that?!" I snapped, "What is wrong with you?! You pushed him off a building, Alaric!"He was still staring down at where Caiden had fallen, his expression twisting into something before he masked it completely.And then he turned to me, his concern-filled eyes dropping to my stern face immediately."Are you okay?" He stepped closer, hand coming up, but I slapped it away."Don't.""Your nose is bleeding—""I said don't!" I stepped back, pressing the back of my hand to my nose myself. I flinched from the pain, already tasting copper, which made the fury in my chest flare so hot it made my eyes stin

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   45. His Fault

    ~AlaricBoth of the two guards were laid out on the ground outside the gate; the pack physician crouched beside them with nothing useful left to do.I stood over them with a cold stare, a chill settling around me that had nothing to do with the evening air.My eyes traced their lifeless form slowly. There were no marks from struggle or fighting back. Like they weren't expecting it at all…Someone clearly got to them before my men did, and they'd done it so quickly that neither guard had time to raise an alarm.I crouched down beside the nearest one, placed two fingers under his jaw, and tilted his head to the side, revealing a deep, bleeding cut on his throat, probably from a blade. Blood had begun to dry up from the open gash, and it was the same for the other guard.My wolf stirred within me, “This wasn't the fake elder.” He said, clearly on edge, and I agreed internally. I was still going after the fake elder when this happened, so who?But one thing bothered me, though: apart from

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   44. The Stranger

    ~AlaricHer delicious scent hit me first before I even saw her. And you'd think I'd be used to not perceiving anything else except hers by now, but no.I wasn't at all. And each time it feels maddening, yet calming at the same time.I paused when I finally saw her, my heart doing that same skip again. She was moving through the courtyard slowly, her arms swaying loosely as she walked, and her head slightly tilted down, probably lost somewhere inside her own head. I chuckled, shaking my head. The afternoon light was hitting the courtyard, giving this ethereal fairyland setting, and she blended with it perfectly, looking angelic in the sunlight without even trying, with her hair swaying a little in the breeze.My wolf immediately went calm; he wasn't doing his usual restless pacing or the constant nudging whenever she was near. He just quieted down, whining softly.Sucker.My fingers twitched, and I almost waved and called out to her, but I stalled.“I don't think it's a nice idea; she
