All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: Mated with My Ex's Uncle: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

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 expelled from Ironclaw once I become Alpha."Eugenia snorted. "Is that a

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 looked down at her coldly. "Shut up!"Hazel sensed Esmond's fury and shuddered, loweri

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 ever break into my home again without permission, I'll sue

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 mind, flashing memories of her stealing the last bite of honey-glazed pastry under the full moon,

Esmond's POVSeeing Hazel's downcast and effort to hide her sadness, I was reminded of my own careful facade in front of Camellia. A wave of sympathy washed over me.I softened my tone and said, "Your top priority now is to safely deliver the baby. I won't treat you unfairly."Initially, upon learning of Hazel's pregnancy, I had no intention of keeping the child.But when I took her to the hospital for an abortion, the doctor said her thin uterine lining made the procedure risky, prone to heavy bleeding, so he refused to operate. That's how the child came to stay.Moreover, every time I was rejected by Camellia, it was Hazel who comforted me.Gradually, my attitude toward Hazel and the child in her womb changed significantly.Hazel suddenly looked up, tears still in her eyes, looking pitiful.She wiped away her tears and said in a choked voice, "I know, I just couldn't help but want to share this joy with you..."Seeing how satisfied Hazel was with just a few words from me, my heart so
