THE ALPHA’S DEBT 31
The call simply wouldn't connect. No matter how many times I let it ring until the line cut out, there was only silence. I kept redialing, my fingers trembling against the screen, but Andrew remained unreachable. I couldn’t tell if he was genuinely occupied with pack business or if he was intentionally freezing me out to teach me a lesson for leaving the gala."Andrew the Great isn't picking up? Typical Alpha ego," Carllo spat, pacing the hospital corridor."Did you piss him off or what? Spit it out!" Paige was so frantic she started shoving me, her frantic energy vibrating through the small space.I stumbled back from the force; my bag hit the floor, and out slid a crisp, white envelope containing the divorce agreement. It was a fresh copy I’d prepared, signed in ink that was barely dry, ready to be shoved into Andrew’s hand the moment I saw him.Paige snatched it up, her eyes widening as she scanned the bold headers."What did you do to get yourself exiled? The sky is falling! Lanka

I fixed my gaze on Andrew, my eyes hard."Lanka is my bonded mate," Andrew’s voice was like a low, warning growl. "Is the Hawthorne family—and that includes you, Damon—looking to declare a blood feud with the Alpha of the Wolfe Pack?"His tone was steady, but the predatory threat behind it made the air in the hall feel heavy and thin. Lydiasa’s entire frame shuddered, her face turning a sickly, mottled grey.Serena, sensing the shift in the room, looked up at her mother with a mask of weary forbearance. "Mother, perhaps I was just disoriented by the water. Lanka... he surely wouldn’t be so cruel. Let’s just drop it, please? Go apologize to the pack members for the scene. It’s enough for me that Andrew is here at my side."Lydiasa had no choice but to retreat. Serena reached out, her fingers searching for Andrew’s hand, trying to draw him into her space.He stepped back, his arm slipping from her reach. "I need to change."He was still dripping, the soaked fabric of his suit clinging t

I felt the brutal pressure on my chest, a rhythmic, crushing force that finally forced the lake water from my lungs. I lurched sideways, choking and retching as air burned its way back into my throat.I was leaning against someone’s solid frame, my vision a watery, fractured mess. Through the haze and the rain, I saw a familiar silhouette—Andrew. He was carrying Serena toward the manor, his stride long and urgent. He didn't break his pace. He didn't even glance back at the dark water where I had just been drifting toward death."Lanka! Stop playing dead. You’re a Monroe; you practically grew up in the river. Talk to me."The voice behind me was sharp, lacking any real warmth. I blinked, wiping the sting from my eyes, and realized my savior was Julian Park.He was Andrew’s rival, a high-ranking Alpha from a neighboring territory who had always viewed the Wolfe-Hawthorne alliance with suspicion. He’d made it clear in the past that he thought I was nothing more than a social climber who

"I have zero interest in stealing your life or your jewelry. But since I’ve already stepped into this den, I’ll decide when it’s time to leave. My husband is just outside those doors. If you don't want me to walk out there right now, claim my Alpha, and turn your precious gala into a public scandal, you’d better stop crowding my space."If I went out there and announced our soul-bond to the pack, Serena would be the laughingstock of the entire territory.Lydiasa’s face twisted with a flicker of genuine fear. She valued the Hawthorne reputation above all else. "The Hawthornes gave you a roof and a name for six years. Do me a favor and don't burn this house down today. I’m asking you as your elder."I kept my mouth shut. Lydiasa didn't wait for a response; she turned and vanished back toward the ballroom. I let out a jagged breath and stepped into a private stall to compose myself.When I finally returned to the hall, the lights were blinding.The Hawthorne inner circle was gathered at

Serena buried her face in the thick furs of the hospital bed, her shoulders shaking with a jagged, rhythmic grief. Her voice was a hoarse, desperate rasp.“You’re lying to me. Andrew isn’t coming. He only has eyes for Lanka. I’m so bitter, Damon. I'm drowning in it. How does that stray get a man like Andrew to cherish him with his whole soul?”She choked on a sob, clutching the sheets. “Just leave me. My wrist is shattered, but my heart is in pieces. I’ll be fine once I’ve bled this out.”Damon Hawthorne glanced at Andrew, gestured toward the door with a weary flick of his hand, and retreated into the hall with Lydiasa.Andrew took a few slow, heavy steps forward. His dark brows were knit with a sharp, visible impatience. He didn't offer a hug; he didn't even reach out. He just spoke.“That’s enough. Stop the performance.”Serena’s trembling frame went rigid. She spent a moment smoothing her hair against the pillow before looking up at him. She didn't say a word; she let the tears do

Just then, before I could find the words to respond to his offer, a heavy rapping sounded against the door.Damon Hawthorne stood in the threshold, his face a map of weary frustration. "Andrew, Serena has been howling since you left. If she doesn't settle down, she’s going to trigger a premature shift or wear her spirit thin. We can’t get through to her. Could you please just... try to talk some sense into her?"I felt a familiar, jagged heat rising in my chest. I was sick of it—sick of Serena’s nauseating theatrics and the way she used her fragility like a tether around Andrew’s neck.I didn't move from Andrew’s lap. Instead, I tightened my grip, wrapping my arms around his neck and nuzzling into the crook of his collar. I let my voice drop into a soft, needy purr."Babe, I haven't seen you in a week. You’re not going anywhere. You have to stay here and take care of me first. If you leave now, I’ll give you something real to worry about. I’ll walk right out of this pack."I squeezed
