Semua Bab Sleeping with the Alpha Who Despised Me: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Zed POV She only shook her head again, softer this time, and a sad smile touched her lips. “Then I met Jay Hearts of the Meadows Pack” she continued, her eyes softening at the mention of his name. “Jay picked up my shattered pieces and helped me feel whole again. He supported me, loved me in ways I didn’t think possible. Even when I tried to push him away, he stayed– was there for me. He showed me what love is supposed to feel like… when I couldn’t even love myself because of you.”Her eyes shone with tears now, and so did mine. My wolf howled inside me, sensing the finality in her words.“That’s why I’m choosing him, Zed,” she said, her voice steady despite the pain.My heart slammed against my ribs. I felt the blood drain from my face. “What… what are you saying?” I rasped.“I came here today to tell you to leave me the hell alone,” she said, standing taller than I’d ever seen her. “Stop calling me, stop sending me gifts. Go back to the woman you chose over me and stick to that cho

River POV I scoffed, an almost humorless laugh escaping my lips. The nerve of this woman.“Did you just say ‘steal’? I’m trying to steal someone who is actually my mate?” I shook my head, disbelief flooding through me. “For the record, I don’t want him. I’m happy with the man I’m with. And I made that very clear to Zed.”I took a shaky breath and added, “If it’s anything, you should be telling Zed to leave me the hell alone.”But instead of listening, she clapped her hands together mockingly. “So you do admit you’ve been seeing your sister’s husband!” she spat, turning to my father. “You see your child? You see the disgrace you call a daughter? Goddess, I can’t believe I gave birth to a whore.”Her words slammed into me like a physical blow. My chest tightened, tears pricked at my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. Not this time.“I’m not a whore, Mother,” I whispered, my voice barely holding together.She let out a sharp, cruel laugh. “Oh, you are. A whore and a witch. An embarra

Zed POV I stepped into the kitchen and froze.Flour dust hung in the air like a cloud, and Amber was spinning around the counter, humming to herself, hands moving in a frenzy as she mixed something in a big bowl.“What’s going on here?” I asked, my voice flat.She spun around so fast that a puff of flour flew off her apron. “Oh! Baby, you’re back,” she chirped, her eyes lighting up. “I would hug you, but I’m covered in flour.”I didn’t even bother forcing a smile. “What are you doing?” I asked again, slower this time.She sighed, wiping her forehead . “Okay, so I decided that we could go to the park today.”I frowned immediately. “When you say ‘we,’ you mean…?”She dropped the spatula, looking slightly annoyed. “I mean you and I, baby,” she responded, “ Just us. You know, to spend some time together. Like we used to.”My jaw tensed. The last thing I wanted was to go anywhere with her. My mind wasn’t here — hell, my heart hadn’t been here in a long time.“I’m not in the mood, Amber,”

River POV I stared at my phone for what felt like the hundredth time that morning. No new calls. No new messages. Nothing from Zed.I sighed and set the phone back on my desk, dragging a hand down my face.It was stupid, really. Completely, utterly stupid.But was it crazy that I missed his endless messages? The annoying calls, the flowers that always seemed to arrive at the worst times?Yes. Yes, it was completely insane.I shook my head at myself and tried to focus on the paperwork in front of me when I heard a soft knock on the door. Before I could even say "come in," the door cracked open and Hailey poked her head inside.“Hey girl,” she said with a bright smile, stepping fully into the office.I couldn’t help but return her smile, though it was a little tired. “Hey… How have you been?”She flopped down into the chair opposite my desk, letting out a long sigh. “I've been stressed… but good,” she said, her shoulders rising and falling. “My case is finally looking up.”My eyebrows

Amber POVI took it without hesitation, flipping it open. Inside were photographs, printed documents, timelines—his usual thorough work. My heart stopped for a second as my eyes landed on one image. A blurry photo of River at a small clinic. The date stamp? Six years ago.“Is this…?”He nodded. “That’s her first documented checkup after leaving Crescent Moon. According to the nurse I spoke to, she was already around two months pregnant.”I froze.My throat felt dry, like sandpaper had scraped the inside raw. “Are you sure?”“I cross-referenced the records with the patient ID and her signature. It’s legit,” he replied, tapping the photo. “She went by a different last name back then—Stellar-Rose—but it's her.”I shut the folder gently, as if that would keep the truth from exploding. “So she was pregnant before she arrived at Meadow Pack?”“Yes. Which confirms the boy isn't Alpha Jay’s biological son.”I blinked, struggling to breathe. “But… how? I made sure she left without anything. Sh
