All Chapters of Sleeping with the Alpha Who Despised Me: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

River POV"I was so mad, Hailey, you wouldn’t even believe it," I said, my voice muffled as I bit into my burger. Juice dripped down my fingers and I wiped it away hastily with a napkin. "Like… the fact that he just left me there hanging. It was so humiliating.""Horny," Hailey added, snorting, trying so hard not to burst out laughing.I stopped chewing and stared at her. "Really, Hailey? You’re unbelievable."She finally let it out, a full belly laugh echoing across the small restaurant table. A few people even glanced over, but she didn’t care."It’s not funny," I muttered, narrowing my eyes at her, but the corners of my lips twitched despite myself."But it is!" she wheezed between fits of laughter, wiping tears from the corner of her eye."Really? This is what we’re doing now? Mocking my misery?" I raised an eyebrow at her, but she just kept laughing."Okay, okay," she finally managed to say, catching her breath. "I’m sorry." She pressed her palms together like she was praying. "I

Amber POVI sat at the edge of the bed, staring at the floor, my mind a complete mess. I didn’t even know where to start or what to do. Ever since that evening… ever since Zed saw River again, he had changed completely.He wasn’t the same loving Zed I knew. He barely even looked at me now without that harsh, cold glare in his eyes. Every word he said to me felt like a blade against my heart.I wasn’t sure… but deep down, I knew River was behind all of this. She always was. She always found a way to ruin everything for me — to snatch every little happiness I had.I pulled my knees to my chest and hugged them, feeling my body tremble. My eyes burned as tears threatened to fall. I didn’t know what else to do… so I picked up my phone and dialed my mother’s number.It didn’t ring long before she answered.“Amber!” she said, smiling widely. “How are you? How’s your little trip going?”I sighed, my shoulders dropping. “The trip was going great… well, until…”Her smile faded immediately. “Wha

River POV“Steven, hurry up and eat your vegetables!” I urged, tapping my fingers against the edge of the table impatiently.He just sat there, pouting, pushing the broccoli around with his fork like it was some alien creature.“But mummy, I don’t want to,” he whined, his lower lip jutting out dramatically. “I’m a wolf anyway! I don’t need vegetables. I only need meat.”I let out a loud scoff and crossed my arms. “Vegetables are good for you, and you're going to finish every single one of them on that plate, do you hear me?” I scolded, giving him that pointed “mom” look I’d perfected over the years.Steven sighed so dramatically you'd think I just told him he'd never see the moon again. But at least he finally picked up his spoon and started nibbling on a piece of carrot, his face twisted in exaggerated disgust.He looked so sad it almost made me laugh, but I held my ground. Goddess knew if I let him skip vegetables once, I’d lose this battle forever.Suddenly, the dining room door s

River POVMy entire body went stiff. My breath caught in my throat as I jumped and spun around so fast I nearly stumbled backward.Zed!?My heart stopped. For a second, the world fell completely silent. The music, the laughter from inside, the breeze rustling the trees — everything disappeared.All I could hear was the frantic pounding of my own heart.His eyes met mine, that same intense shade that I once loved . Eyes that I had prayed to the goddess every day to look at me with love — or even give us a chance. The same eyes that now looked at me like I was the only person in the universe.My wolf roared inside me, surging forward. She recognized him instantly, pushing at me, begging to close the distance. I forced her back, swallowing down the urge to run into his arms.“Zed?” My voice came out small, almost a whisper.He took a slow step forward, his hand still hovering as if he wanted to touch me again but wasn’t sure he was allowed to. “River…” His voice was low, hoarse, like he’

River POVHailey sat across from me in my office, a thick file resting on her lap. She looked exhausted, her hair a little messy like she had run her fingers through it a thousand times already today.“River, I’m honestly at a crossroads with this case,” she said, flipping the file open and pulling out a few papers. “I don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve tried every possible angle I can think of, but it feels like I keep hitting a wall– feels like I've finally hit a dead end.”I leaned forward, my elbows resting on the desk. “Tell me everything. Let’s go through it together,” I said, “what’s the issue with the case?”She sighed, nodding. “Okay. So, my client claims he wasn’t at the scene at all. But the problem is, the surveillance footage clearly shows his car parked nearby. His alibi is shaky at best. He swears he let a friend borrow it, but there’s no proof — no messages, no calls, nothing. How the hell does he expect me to work with such little evidence?”I frowned, tapping my pen
