I held the empty champagne glass so long I could feel the chill bite my palm. Jasper and Bianca watched me like a play too small to bother their attention. My lips curled in a mocking smile.

I let go.

The crystal shattered against the flagstones in a scatter of bright, indifferent pieces.

I moved faster than I felt, grabbed the remaining glass from Marcus's hand and tipped it. Champagne ran down Bianca's face in cold ribbons. The table went silent.

Then I slapped her sharp, quick, the sound clean and final. She gasped, clutching her cheek like she'd been struck for real. Marcus and Gloria recoiled, faces twisting with shock and outrage.

Jasper's eyes flared with something I once mistook for devotion and now only saw as ownership. He ground his teeth. "Tessa Ashford!" he spat.

I kept my voice steady. "See that? This time it's really me." I pointed toward the corner where the security monitor hung. "Check the footage if you don't believe it."

I didn't wait for them to look. "You guys en

  • Goodbye My Fated Mate, I Married Your Alpha King   Chapter 20 Happy Ending

    Tessa's POVEvery head turned toward the entrance. The officiant froze mid-sentence. Alaric's hand tightened around mine, his expression darkening.And Jasper stood there, chest heaving, eyes wild with something desperate and broken."I object," he said again, louder this time, his voice cracking. "Tessa is my mate. She belongs with me."The words should have hurt. Should have stirred something inside me—some ghost of the love I'd once carried for him.But all I felt was cold, quiet certainty.I turned to face him fully, my hand still clasped in Alaric's, my voice steady."No, Jasper. I don't belong to you. I have rejected you."His face crumpled, desperation bleeding through the cracks in his composure. "Tessa, please. I know I was wrong. I know I hurt you. But I can fix this. I can—""You can't." The words came out firm, final. "You made your choice. And I've made mine."I felt Alaric's thumb brush against my knuckles, a quiet reassurance, and I drew strength from it.Jasper's jaw t

    Jasper's POVThe air left my lungs.Memories crashed over me, Tessa, always there, always steady, always silent. The way she'd looked at me with something soft and aching, the way she'd worked herself to exhaustion for the pack, for me, expecting nothing in return.And I'd thrown it all back in her face.I'd believed Bianca. I'd chosen Bianca and accept Tessa's rejection.I'd humiliated Tessa, broken her, cast her aside like she was nothing.And all along, she'd been the one who saved me.My knees nearly buckled. I gripped the edge of the bed, my hands shaking, my throat tight."Why didn't she tell me?" The words came out strangled, desperate.My father's eyes were steady, unforgiving. "Would you have believed her?"The question hung in the air, brutal and undeniable.No. I wouldn't have.I would have dismissed her, accused her of lying, of trying to manipulate me. Just like I'd done a hundred times before."She's gone now," Jason said quietly. "And you have no one to blame but yourse

    Jasper's POVThe evidence stared me in the face, undeniable and damning. Bianca's hand on the IV line, her fingers poised to destroy the one chance my father had at survival.My chest tightened, something cold and sharp twisting in my gut.I angrily took her to the pack office.Bianca stumbled toward me, her eyes wide and desperate, tears streaming down her face. "Jasper, please—you have to believe me. I would never—""Don't." The word came out flat, hollow.She flinched, but pressed closer, her hands reaching for my arm, clinging. "It's a misunderstanding. The camera—it's lying. Tessa set me up, she hates me, she wants to destroy us—""Are you still lying?" I pulled my arm free, stepping back.Her face crumpled, panic flashing across her features. "I'm just afraid that when your father wakes up, the elders of the pack won't approve of you becoming Alpha. I'm doing this for you!" "I'm sorry, I did it all for you. I know I was wrong, and I'll do anything to make it up to you." Tears

    Bianca's POVI watched through the crack in the door as Tessa moved around Jason's sickbed, her hands glowing faintly with that impossible golden light.It made my stomach twist.This wasn't supposed to happen. Tessa wasn't supposed to have a wolf. She wasn't supposed to have power. She was supposed to be nothing—a broken, discarded wolfless that Jasper had finally cast aside.But here she was, wearing the royal insignia like she belonged, her spine straight, her voice calm and steady as she spoke softly to the dying Alpha.Jason's breathing had already steadied. The gray pallor that had clung to his skin for weeks was fading, replaced by the faintest hint of color. His chest rose and fell more easily, his fingers no longer trembling against the sheets.She was healing him.If Jason recovered, everything would fall apart. Jasper's claim to the Alpha position would weaken. The pack elders would question his leadership. Worse, Jason might convince Jasper to take Tessa back—to throw me a

    Tessa's POVJasper stared at me as though I were a ghost, something that shouldn't exist. Bianca's eyes narrowed, her pretty features twisting into something ugly.Then she laughed, a high, brittle sound that grated against my ears."Tessa, " She stepped forward, her pink dress swishing around her legs, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "You’re the chief physician? That's impossible."Her eyes raked over me, contempt barely hidden beneath her smile. "You don't even have a wolf. You've never had healing abilities. How could you possibly—""She's right." Jasper's voice cut through the air, low and hard. His eyes bore into mine, searching for something—a crack, a weakness, proof that this was all some elaborate lie. "I've never seen you heal anyone, Tessa. Not once."The accusation hung between us, heavy as a blade.My chest tightened, anger flaring hot and sharp beneath my ribs. Of course they would question me. Of course they couldn't believe I'd become something more than the s

  • Goodbye My Fated Mate, I Married Your Alpha King   Chapter 15 The Chief Physician

    Tessa's POVThe silence stretched between us, heavy as iron. Daniel stood near the door, waiting. Alaric's gaze remained fixed on me, steady and patient, as though he had all the time in the world for me to decide.My chest tightened. Jason. The old Alpha who had always treated me with kindness when no one else in that pack had. The man who'd praised my work, who'd acknowledged my worth even when his own son couldn't see it."If you don't wish to go," Alaric said quietly, breaking the stillness, "Daniel will decline on your behalf with my decree. No one will question it."His voice was gentle, but there was steel beneath it—a quiet promise that he would shield me from anything I didn't want to face. The offer should have been a relief. Instead, it only made the ache in my chest deepen.I shook my head slowly. "Jason was one of the few kind wolves in Bloodmoon who truly cared about me."My voice came out steadier than I felt. "He's dying. I should help him."Alaric's expression didn't
