Semua Bab After My Husband's Affair, I Met My True Love Alpha: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Third Person's POV"Hmm?"Seraphina responded almost out of habit before realizing he'd actually called her by name. She looked up and saw Sebastian leaning against his chair, those gray eyes of his catching the moonlight, deeper than usual."About last night..." Sebastian paused, voice low. "I was out of line. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable."Her fingers tightened a bit around the edge of the file, creasing the page without thinking. Seraphina quickly lowered her gaze, mind a total mess."I accept your apology," she said softly after a beat, trying to stay composed.Sebastian gave a small smile. "I hope it didn't trouble you too much.""Not so bad." She shrugged casually."Don't stress," he added, voice gentler now. "I'm not some unreasonable jerk. If it's not what you want, I won't push. Whatever made you feel uneasy before-I'm really sorry. Let's just put it behind us, alright?"Seraphina nodded quickly. "Yeah, sure, we're good."Back on the couch with the file in her arms,

Seraphina's POVVictoria shot me a look that basically screamed, "You've been weird lately," but thankfully didn't push it. We were standing in the middle of my living room, afternoon sunlight stretching shadows across the floor."We'll head out early tomorrow," she finally said, absentmindedly spinning her car keys. "Even though the odds of finding that girl are about the same as spotting a beach in Kansas."Then she suddenly grinned-that kind of grin that always makes my gut tighten. "But hey, what if we trick Maria into leading us right to the spot? Catch her red-handed. One and done."I rolled my eyes. "Honey, have you been bingeing Shakespeare lately?""Come on, it's not just you who's allowed a little crazy," she teased, looping her arm around my neck and whispering right near my ear. "Listen, I know a medium. Legit spirit-channeling stuff. If we can get Maria into a trance..."I tapped my nails against the glass surface of the coffee table, turning it over in my head. "Honestly

Third Person's POVSeraphina's mind was a total mess-emotions all over the place and impossible to ignore. Victoria, who didn't even know Isabella Grimm, had no clue about the storm swirling right beneath Seraphina's calm facade.As the elevator doors slowly shut, the two groups were sealed together in that cramped, gold-trimmed box. Seraphina stared straight ahead, jaw tight, but every fiber of her was tuned to the conversation happening behind her.From behind, a soft, elegant voice floated over:"When's the Croft family Alpha getting here?""Lady Elinor said around eleven-thirty. He should be here soon.""Honestly, he should've come pick you up himself. The Crofts are big, sure, but Black Moon Pack's no pushover either. This just feels rude.""It's fine. I don't really care.""Is that really the Isabella I know talking? Wow, you've got it bad. But props to you-I mean, Sebastian is ridiculously good-looking. Congrats on locki

Sebastian's POVI stared at that slender silhouette in front of me, my eyes darkening. She was quietly chatting with that young wolf cub, her hair bouncing slightly as she laughed.Yeah, she sure looked happy. What does that kid even have? Clueless, immature-he's not nearly good enough for her.Kane wisely slid the menu toward Mason. That reckless pup wasted no time flagging down a waiter, ordering a pile of his favorite meats-bloody steaks and venison, not a single veggie in sight.My phone buzzed in my pocket. The screen lit up with one word: "Mom." I picked up without changing my expression."Got a chance to meet Miss Grimm?" Her voice was light, clearly forced.I slowly stood up. Kane and Mason shot me confused looks as I walked to the seat behind Seraphina and sat down.Fine, Mother. If you care this much about my love life, you can listen to it live. And Seraphina? Let's see what you make of this."I did," I said, raising

Seraphina's POVI couldn't bring myself to look him in the eyes. I just kept staring at my shoes, forcing myself to breathe like a normal person."I'm heading to lunch. Got plans this afternoon." This time, I didn't wait for his nod or give him the space to rearrange my schedule. I turned and left, trying to make it look calm-even if deep down it felt like I was running.The door clicked shut behind me, cutting off his presence. Finally, I could breathe.He was everything-powerful, composed, and way too easy to fall for. I wasn't immune, not even close.But those words he said earlier? Still ringing in my ears like a slap."If it helps you stay emotionally balanced and perform better at work, I wouldn't mind going on a date."That wasn't a confession or affection. It sounded like a calculated move, like he was doing damage control for HR.My emotions being labeled as a "risk to efficiency"? That hurt more than I cared to admit. I really thought-just for a second-that maybe, just maybe
