Fated to Ruthless Alpha Connor Chapter 25
Bella's POVSomething felt wrong. I noticed it the moment I walked into the Finance Department.The usual morning chatter had completely disappeared. Clerks who normally greeted me with warm smiles now lowered their heads, pretending to be deeply engrossed in their work. Others suddenly found great interest in the neat stacks of paperwork on their desks. No one would meet my eyes. It was as if I had become invisible overnight. Or worse, completely unwelcome.I frowned, stopping in the center of the room. "Good morning."A few hesitant, quiet voices answered me. "Good morning, Lady Bella."Their smiles looked entirely forced, their eyes darting nervously around the room. I exchanged a quick glance with Jeremy. He noticed it too."They're actively avoiding you," he murmured, his voice low enough only for me to hear."I can see that."Before either of us could question anyone, one of the junior accountants hurried toward us from the back offices. His face was entirely pale. "Lady Bella.

Gina's POVThe porcelain teacup slipped from my fingers, shattering against the marble floor. Hot tea splashed across my expensive silk slippers, but I didn't even notice the heat.The maid standing beside me gasped, instantly dropping to her knees. "M-Miss Gina ""Get out."She hesitated, looking up at me wide-eyed. "But the glass, miss, I should ""I said get out!"The frightened maid scrambled to her feet and hurried from the room, closing the heavy wooden door behind her.I stood completely frozen, my hands trembling uncontrollably. It couldn't be true. It simply couldn't. Bella... the quiet, patient, obedient Bella... had actually filed for divorce.I had expected tears. I had expected endless arguments between them. I had even expected Bella to eventually beg Zayn to choose her over me, just like she always did. But a formal petition for divorce before the Council of Elders? No. That wasn't supposed to happen.I began pacing the length of the room, my silk robes trailing behind

Bella's POVThe Council Chamber remained eerily silent. The heavy ledgers were still spread wide across the long oak table, their pages catching the morning light. Every single elder had stopped speaking. Even the spectators in the gallery, who had arrived expecting to witness a desperate, emotional wife begging to save her crumbling marriage, now wore expressions of pure disbelief.No one had expected the evidence. No one had expected to discover that the Silver Moon Pack's prosperity and wealth rested almost entirely on my shoulders.I stood quietly at my podium, keeping my hands lightly resting on the smooth wood. There was nothing more for me to say. The records spoke far louder than I ever could.Elder Rowan slowly closed the final ledger, the heavy thud of the cover echoing through the room. His voice had lost much of its earlier, authoritative confidence when he looked toward my husband."Alpha Zayn..." He paused, adjusting his spectacles. "Do you dispute these financial record

Bella's POVThe Council Chamber was more crowded than I had ever seen it. Word of my divorce petition had spread far beyond the borders of the Silver Moon Pack. Every seat reserved for the elders was occupied, while several senior merchants stood anxiously along the stone walls. Military commanders whispered among themselves, and even representatives from neighboring packs had arrived to witness what many were already calling the trial of the century.At the center of the room stood two carved wooden podiums one for the petitioner, and one for the Alpha.I stood alone at mine, keeping my posture entirely rigid.Across from me, Zayn entered wearing his formal Alpha attire. His black ceremonial cloak flowed behind him, commanding the immediate respect of everyone present. Normally, I would have admired the sight of him. Today, I simply looked. Nothing more.His eyes met mine across the distance. There was deep disbelief in them, mixed with anger and confusion. It was almost as though h

Bella's POVI stood outside the Council Hall just after sunrise. The massive stone building had witnessed countless Alpha successions, territorial treaties, and judgments over the generations. Today, it would witness the end of my marriage.The morning air was cool against my skin, but my palms were damp. My father's words echoed in my mind, a steady anchor: Protect yourself. Protect the evidence. Prepare for divorce.I had spent the entire night reading our marriage contract, analyzing every clause, every obligation, and every legal procedure. As Luna, I had the right to petition the Council of Elders for a formal dissolution of the marriage if my husband had abandoned his duties or publicly dishonored the union. I never imagined I would actually use that right, yet here I was.Jeremy stood quietly beside me. He held a thick leather folder containing every piece of evidence we had gathered financial reports, bank transfers, forged signatures, and witness statements.He looked at me

Zayn's POVSomething didn't sit right. I stood near the head table with a glass of whiskey in my hand, but I hadn't taken a single sip. My eyes kept drifting across the ballroom toward Bella, toward Connor, toward the smile on my wife's face.It wasn't a wide smile. It wasn't even a happy one. But it was genuine.When was the last time she had smiled like that around me? I couldn't remember."Zayn?" Gina slipped her hand through my arm, her voice pulling at my attention. "You've barely spoken all evening."I forced myself to look at her. "I'm listening.""No, you're watching." Her gaze followed mine, tracing a straight line right back to Bella.Connor was speaking with a group of merchants, but every few seconds, his eyes darted toward Bella as if making sure she was comfortable. The merchants laughed at something she said. One of the older businessmen shook her hand enthusiastically, while another complimented her latest trade agreement. Even the neighboring Alphas had gathered arou

Your husband is going to love you, Bella. I am giving him the best woman any man could ask for, I bet he would make you happy and treat you like a queen for the rest of your life.Those were the assuring words my father said to me when he was giving my hands in marriage to Zayn. But that was not t

Connor’s povOf all my thirty two years on earth, this is the first time I was able to read someone outside my pack’s mind without initiating it.‘She is different.’ My wolf commented. I know that and I can also see that.I have been to this pack so many times, and I have never seen anyone that lo

I gazed at him with disbelief on my face, "I don't think I heard you right. Did you say this mistress you intend on taking is moving into this house?"“Yes, is anything wrong with that”“There is no way she is moving in with us, if you must take a mistress like you said, take her to the packhouse.
