Camilla.

The heavy mahogany door clicked shut as Daniel hurried down the hallway, leaving a thick, charged silence in the room.

I stared at the map of the royal compound spread across the desk, my pulse thumping heavily against my ribs. A quiet, dark satisfaction settled deep within my chest.

For three long years, I had quietly borne every cold shoulder, every sharp insult, and every cruel dismissal from Ragnar. I had let myself become an invisible ghost in his castle, believing that silent en

  • MY EX ALPHA HUSBAND REGRET   29. Walk away!

    Camilla.The muffled screaming echoing from the estate gates carried straight up to the second-floor sanctuary quarters, cutting through the heavy silence of the early morning.I was already awake, sitting on the edge of the large four-poster bed with my coat draped over my shoulders. I stood up smoothly, stepping over to the grand window that overlooked the long, cobblestone driveway stretching toward the perimeter walls. Down at the iron entrance, shrouded in the thick gray morning fog, I could see the distinct silhouette of a carriage and a hysterical figure dressed in rich velvet, violently flailing against Cassian’s guards.A soft knock sounded at my chamber door before it swung open. Cassian stepped into the room, looking immaculate in his dark leather tactical vest, his golden eyes filled with sharp concern."Did she wake you?" Cassian asked softly, his deep voice carrying a grim edge as he gestured toward the window."I was already up," I answered calmly, smoothing down the fr

  • MY EX ALPHA HUSBAND REGRET   28. Come out and face me!

    Pamela.The heavy oak doors of Ragnar’s study slammed shut behind me, but the sound was nowhere near loud enough to drown out the furious, burning hum in my ears.Driven by pure, unadulterated rage, I didn't care who saw me. I didn't care about the guards standing rigid along the marble hallway or the servants whispering in the shadows as I stormed down the corridors, my silk robe sweeping aggressively against the floorboards. I marched straight to my private bedchamber, shoved the double doors open, and locked them behind me with a sharp, violent click."How dare he!" I shrieked into the vast, empty room. "How dare he speak to me like that!"I flew across the room toward my grand vanity table. My hands slammed onto the polished wood, my breathing heavy, ragged, and hot. I looked into the gilded dressing mirror, staring at my flushed face, my red-rimmed eyes, and the lingering shadow of the bruise Cassian had given me at the Council.I was carrying his child! His heir! His royal blood

  • MY EX ALPHA HUSBAND REGRET   27. GET OUT!

    Ragnar.The heavy silence inside my private study felt thick enough to choke on.I sat behind the massive mahogany desk, a fresh crystal glass of dark whiskey resting near my right hand. Across the room, Pamela was pacing back and forth in a soft silk robe, her face bright with an irritating, giddy excitement that made my stomach turn into a tight, sour knot."Ragnar, do you realize what this means?!" Pamela squealed, clapping her hands together, her voice ringing sharp and grating against the quiet walls. "A baby! An heir to the royal throne! This changes everything! The High Council won't be able to say a word against us now. The elders love tradition! Once we announce this to the pack, everyone will forget all about Camilla and her pathetic legal drama!"I didn't answer her. I didn't even lift my head to look at her.I just sat there, my gaze locked onto the large tactical map spread out across the dark wood of my desk. My thumb absently traced the black ink line marking the northe

  • MY EX ALPHA HUSBAND REGRET   26. Just go to sleep.

    Ragnar.I turned my back on Pamela, pacing heavy-footed toward the tall arched window at the far end of the bedchamber. I reached out, grabbing the edge of the heavy wooden sill and gripping it until my knuckles turned stark white under the pale moonlight. I stared out into the dark, boundless night, my chest rising and falling violently as I tried to regain control of my own heart. The rapid thudding in my ribs echoed like war drums in my ears, mocking the supreme composure I was supposed to embody as Alpha King."Ragnar... please tell me what's wrong," Pamela whimpered behind me, her tone cautious, hesitant, and utterly terrified of setting off another burst of explosive anger. "You're…. I really don't know what to call it, but did something happen?" She paused, the quiet rustle of her towel filling the silence as she took a small, uncertain breath. “Is anything wrong?""Nothing is wrong," I growled out, forcing my voice to flatten into an icy wall, though my chest was still burnin

  • MY EX ALPHA HUSBAND REGRET   25. All I SEE IS HER!

    Ragnar.The heavy, carved oak door of my master bedroom was locked, keeping the rest of the world and its mounting chaotic demands outside.I sat back in the deep leather armchair near the window, the soft light of the bedside lamp casting long shadows across the room. I held a heavy crystal tumbler in my right hand, swirling the amber whiskey slowly. The ice cubes clinked softly against the glass, a rhythmic, rhythmic sound that did very little to quiet the roaring storm inside my chest. I took a deep, heavy gulp, feeling the sharp burn slide down my throat, but the alcohol failed to numb the tension thrumming through my veins.The bathroom door opened with a soft click, releasing a cloud of warm, lavender-scented steam into the bedroom.Pamela stepped out, her damp hair falling loosely over her shoulders, a plush white towel wrapped snugly around her chest, securing just above her bust. She paused in the doorway, biting her lower lip nervously as she looked over at me, her cheeks sl

  • MY EX ALPHA HUSBAND REGRET   24. Fifteen days!

    CamillaThe heavy wooden doors remained firmly shut, keeping the stone corridor quiet, but the low, calm voice coming through the phone's speaker felt like a ghost breaking through from another life entirely."Speak," the voice said, sharp and guarded.I swallowed the lump in my throat, holding the encrypted phone tighter against my ear. "It's Camilla," I whispered, my voice firm despite the rapid pounding of my heart. A sudden, sharp gasp cut through the static on the line."Camilla?!"Martins’ voice instantly lost its calm, professional edge, cracking with pure, unadulterated shock. I could hear the rustle of papers on his end, followed by the heavy thud of a chair scraping back against a floor as he stood up in disbelief."Is that really you?" Martins demanded, his breathing suddenly shallow and fast. "Camilla, where are you right now? Are you okay? Tell me you're not still in that monster's castle!"Hearing his voice after three whole years sent a sharp wave of nostalgia hitting
