Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Cruel Alpha's Unwanted Bride: Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I slept for a while on Logan's chest, the most comfortable place in the world. His steady heartbeat was my lullaby, and the warmth of his embrace was my cocoon. I was in a deep, dreamless sleep, cocooned in his arms, completely oblivious to the world outside. Hours seemed to pass by in mere minutes, and I only woke up when the rain began to slow down and he gently nudged me awake.It felt like we had been there for ages, wrapped up in each other’s warmth while the storm raged outside. A simple check to my phone... my phone! Where was my phone? Panic surged through me as I frantically patted my pockets and rummaged through my bag. "Crap, Logan, we have to go back to the hospital. I can't find my phone."He glanced at me with a calm demeanor that I envied. "It's in your bag. I saw you place it in."I mouthed an "O," feeling sheepish. I hadn't expected that. Sighing with relief, I thanked him, grateful for his attention to detail. I just wanted to sleep, to sink back

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I rushed out of the taxi and headed straight for the cafe doors. I would have been here sooner but logan had turned a quick shower into let’s have a quickie and now he’s headed to the hospital- where I’ll need to be in an hour- and I’m hurrying to meet with a soon-to-be widow. Um, I mean.... a disgruntled woman. Who has been through so much?To my luck, it seemed like she was just arriving so perhaps she’d lied to get me here quicker. I couldn’t blame her. I wouldn’t want to wait to discuss my dying husband’s illness or my missing daughters. I took a spot while she was at the counter, and asked myself to breathe a little better. I might be able to pull off being here earlier thing.She turns, scanning the room. And when she spotted me, I waved a little. She smiles, but her eyes are sort of empty. Even though her husband was an asshole, I believe he wasn’t always like that. This disease, it truly fucks with a person. Turning a once good man or woman, although it is

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I can’t believe she came back. I was so sure that she wouldn’t, and yet here she is. Ready to take back her man. Her man. That’s right. He’s not mine. Sure, we were trying to build something good but this is the girl he was waiting for. Now we’re not in different states I’m sure he can see what he was missing out on when he decided to settle for me.“Excuse me, Miss Sterling.” A male nurse called for me. I looked up.“Yes?”“There’s a guy who wants to see you out back.” I frowned, why wouldn’t Logan just take the front doors? Or right, it’s probably not him. He’s discussing future plans with Ava right now as we speak. I said I wouldn’t run away, but I think I’m going to keep my promise to Aisha. Pack up my stuff, and just leave overnight.That’ll save him the stress of having to hand me divorce papers. I’ll leave the ring and a note telling him to just mail them to me. Yep, that’s the plan. I followed the nurse outside until I was in the back yard of the hospital.

{~~Logan Grey~~}Avery seemed to go into a panicked frenzy as soon as she realized that Rex wasn’t the one I’d attacked. Her eyes went wide with shock, her face drained of color, and before I could steady her, she crumpled, unconscious from the shock. I scooped her up in my arms, my heart pounding in sync with the urgency of the situation. Without a second thought, I carried her all the way to the hospital, my mind racing with the possibilities of what might happen if we didn’t get her treated quickly.The hospital was a hive of activity, chaotic yet purposeful. Ryan’s second-in-command was already there, a tall, no-nonsense officer with a clipboard, taking statements from the nurses, doctors, and patients. His presence was a calm center amidst the storm, efficiently coordinating with the other officers who were busy cuffing the men responsible for this whole mess. The air was thick with tension, a mix of fear and determination as everyone worked to restore order and safety.I hurried

{~~Avery Sterling~~}When I woke up, I was in a state of distress worried that Rex was waiting for me. Instead, I saw Shawn, logan was nowhere in sight. I asked about him, and Shawn told me that Logan had rushed out to speak with the head of the beta squad. Which meant Ryan had been here too. I felt a bit safer knowing that.What came hours later still stuns me. Logan was offering me a divorce. A chance to get out of the pack, to return to wherever I feel should become my new home. He told me every detail. How when i get better I might end up seeing Ava at the hospital because we’re not monsters after all.I understood that, and that night I was taken back to the lake house with six members of the beta squad stationed outside. They were to ensure when Rex returned he was either caught and locked away, or killed. I couldn’t sleep that night, and neither could Logan.He didn’t press me on anything, or even answering whether I’d stay after the divorce. I’m not even sure I want us divorce
