Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha's Regret: Mated with My Ex's Uncle: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Esmond's POVNot long after Jason left, Aljean showed up.Seeing him, I was a little surprised.After being kicked out of the Dalton Group's list of potential heirs, Alpha Drogo had given him a subsidiary of the Dalton Group to run.I thought with Aljean's playful nature, the company would go under quickly, but unexpectedly, he managed it quite well.Though it still couldn't compare to the Dalton Group, making a profit of a few hundred million a year was no problem.Moreover, Aljean was always womanizing and rarely came home, so the father-son relationship between us was rather strained. Apart from holidays, we hardly met privately."Father, why are you here?" I asked."I heard you're planning to fire Fabian?"Aljean's canines grated with a metallic sound at the word "fire," a prelude to shifting.The silver-gray wolf fur suddenly bursting from my knuckles resting on the armrest, the pine resin pheromones of a new

Esmond's POVWhen I returned to the ward, several minutes had passed.Camellia was asleep, though her brow remained furrowed in discomfort.I sat opposite Eugenia and noticed a bouquet on the table, which I found oddly irritating.Suddenly, I stood and picked up the flowers, heading out.Eugenia frowned and followed me.Seeing me toss the flowers into the trash bin at the end of the corridor, she caught up."What's wrong with you? These were given to Cam by someone who came to see her. What gives you the right to throw them away?""Calm down. As her mate, I have the right to handle these things for her."Eugenia sneered. "Regardless of whether Lionel is your uncle, you have no right to dispose of things given to Cam by friends."I glared at her. "Eugenia, I'm sparing you because you're Cam's friend. I have a short temper, and if you keep interfering in my matters with her, I might not hesitate to have your family

Camellia's POVEsmond quickly went to Hazel's side, helped her up, and glared at me."She's weak. Even if you're angry, you shouldn't hurt a pregnant woman!"My grip on my clothes tightened.Was he blind?Hazel was pregnant, but I was a patient too.She came to my ward to provoke me, and he automatically assumed I was at fault.Eight years of relationship, and it couldn't outweigh a secretary who had been with him for only a year."If you don't want me to touch her, don't let her flaunt herself in front of me," I said coldly.Esmond's anger grew. "Apologize to her!"I felt like I was hearing a huge joke.I had never seen a husband embrace his mistress and order his wife to apologize."Do you think she deserves an apology from me?"Tears welled in Hazel's eyes as she clutched Esmond's sleeve and sniffled, "Mr. Dalton, don't upset her... It's my fault. I'll do anything to make her less angry..."

Esmond's POVI was only taken away by the patrol when their wolf-claw badges knocked on the oak door.The scent of the temporary mark became faint under the moonstone pendant hanging from the law enforcer's collar.Camellia, wrapped in a silk robe, leaned against the doorframe. I unleashed my Alpha aura, "We're mates blessed by the Moon Goddess!"Her neck's crescent scar glowed, and the patrol team's chains hummed.Her fingertips brushed over the lingering marks on her collarbone. "I was indeed married to him, but we have separated. He suddenly showed up at my house today. Please take him away."The patrol captain tightened the chains that bound me by three inches, and the moonstone collar burned my nape. "Mr. Dalton, you need to come with us.""This is a misunderstanding! Cam, I was worried about you." I tried to make my tone sound sincere, but she seemed to find it some joke."Save that for the werewolf council report. If you

Esmond's POVThe fur at my nape bristled under the pheromone pressure. My fangs pierced my gums uncontrollably. "Cam, even if you fled to the Shadow Forest, I'd track you through the bond's scent."The rotting pine-needle temporary mark on her neck made my wolf claw restlessly at my spine.The damn bond still lingered—so why did her lychee-rose scent now carry traces of cedar?She scoffed. "Relax. I'm not hiding from you.""Then where's the suitcase for?"Checking her watch, she pushed past me. "Business trip. I'm late.""Where? How long?"She shoved me aside. "Go babysit your mistress instead of harassing me. Keep her too busy to start drama."I stumbled, nearly dropping the breakfast I'd brought her.Blood welled where my claws pierced my palms as I offered the venison pastry—her favorite from our bonding feast.She didn't glance at it, storming toward the elevator.My wolf howled in my
