Kayla's POV.Just as I was about to leave the office and head for mine after taking the documents from Alpha Reynolds, I was instantly and unfortunately welcomed by the sight of her."Ava!" I instantly froze in my tracks the second I saw her walk into the office where I was, and even worse, I was with Alpha Reynolds, her husband.My fear intensified, and a fearful gulp escaped me as I bowed my head to the ground, desperately avoiding any eye contact with her. It would definitely be the end of me if she knew I was the one, but at this point, there was no way I could leave the office without her knowing that it was me.Besides, I was standing before her, and Alpha Reynolds was standing behind me. 'What should I do? How do I react? Should I act as though I've lost my memory? What do I fucking do?!'A barrage of questions slammed into my mind, each one fueling my fear and confusion. My eyes trembled with the weight of uncertainty as I grappled with the unexpected meeting. I simply was

Kayla's POV. I hurriedly entered my office, hastily shutting the door behind me. The rapid thumping of my heart reverberated through my chest, causing my entire torso to pulsate in sync with the intense emotions surging within me.Leaning against the door, I sought comfort as I rested my trembling hand on my chest, releasing a deep exhale through pursed lips. The image of her smirking lips played in my mind, eliciting an exclamation of astonishment from me."No, no!" I clasped my head, attempting to regain focus. "You're here to work, Kayla, focus!" I reassured myself, determined to shake off the overwhelming aftermath of what had just occurred.In an effort to compose myself, I took measured breaths while making my way to my desk. Without delay, I immersed myself in the files assigned by Alpha Reynolds. Little did I know that he would take my casual remark seriously, burdening me with a workload capable of consuming an entire week.My gaze involuntarily shifted towards the door, a

Ava's POV. The silence surrounding me fueled a growing anger within. The mere thought of Kayla taking Alpha Reynolds away from me stirred a dark desire within me; a wish to see her suffer, to see her bleed slowly while expressing the depth of my hatred. "Just look at him!" I screamed internally, observing how his attention remained fixated on her, disregarding my assertion that she was fine. He stubbornly ignored my words, persisting in his efforts to console her. He assumed I was the cause of her pain, and every ounce of affection he showered on her intensified my resentment. The moment became unbearable; I couldn't stand the connection they shared. Frustrated and desperate to break the bond, I plotted ways to distance him from her. As Kayla moaned, averting her gaze and pretending to focus on the files before her, I couldn't help but seethe with frustration. The charade played out before me, amplifying the internal unrest as I grappled with a mix of jealousy, anger, and a

Reynolds' POV.Lost in the whirlwind of organising the scattered files on my desk, time slipped away unnoticed. The urgency to clear the leftovers of the day's tasks was driven by a desire to avoid the incoming mess that would hinder my plan for the next day.The looming possibility of heading home provoked a sense of reluctance in me.The office, suddenly, seemed like a hideout where I could find comfort away from the incessant presence and troubles of Ava. Her constant demands for attention or discussions about having another child had created a yearning for the peacefulness of the office space.Coming out from my office, the dimly lit hallway welcomed me, a familiar path during the night hours. However, an unexpected flash of light disrupted the darkness that was supposed to surround everywhere, compelling me to turn towards its source.“She's still here?” I muttered, my eyes widening with surprise. Just then, a fleeting doubt lingered: "Or did she forget to turn off the light?

Reynolds' POV.I turned on the car engines again and without hesitation, I zoomed out of sight and headed for the hospital like Adora wished for. She was still scared but I couldn't do anything about it. At least for now. And this was the main reason I just didn't want to have another child with Ava. Getting to the hospital, I parked the car and with Adora holding my hand tightly I rushed into the hospital. I walked over to the counter and after being greeted, I made my inquiries. "I am here to see..." I was about to utter the name when, suddenly, a deep and familiar voice called my name from behind, diverting my attention from my immediate focus."Alpha Reynolds?" Turning around, I couldn't help but find Doctor Edmond smiling at me. "I'm sure you are here to see your Luna… this way, Please…" he urged me and with Adora still in my grip, I followed him just as he had wanted me to. We soon got to his office and he instantly offered me a seat, making me comfortable for the time b
