After My Husband's Affair, I Met My True Love Alpha의 모든 챕터: 챕터 81 - 챕터 90

Seraphina's POVMy phone slipped from my hand and hit the floor with a thud. I shot up from my seat, taking a few steps back, hands clamped over my mouth, staring in sheer horror at the treacherous little thing lying motionless on the carpet.I stood there, frozen like a statue, for a good ten minutes before I could even begin to process the epic disaster I'd just created.I felt like I floated back to my vanity.Took a couple of deep breaths, as if that could pump some courage back into my system, then finally picked up my phone with trembling fingers.I tapped into the chat history like I was disarming a bomb. The message he'd sent had been around 1:00 AM - short and simple: [Be on time tomorrow.]And my reply? [Got it, babe.]God knows what time I sent that. I had zero memory of it - I must've been half-asleep, maybe dreaming. Maybe - just maybe! - he hadn't seen it yet? It was so late, after all.Could I rush upstairs and somehow snatch his phone to delete it? The idea popped up a

Marcus's POVI had Sebastian's number saved, even added him on iMessage.He didn't block me, which is why his update popped up while I was still half-asleep and hungover this morning.Strawberry muffins.That stupid post burned itself into my brain-same French bakery, same flavor. It used to be her favorite. I'd always grab some on late work nights, packed in a white box, my way of saying sorry without words.Mate. That word still hurts like a missing limb. We signed the termination papers. She's not mine anymore. It's done. Gone. She's gone.That hollowness in my chest? Not just in my head-it ached like something physically snapped inside me. And now that... that bastard was just dancing over the wreckage.Was she already in his bed? Did she just toss me aside and move on like I meant nothing? Her final words to me played over and over, sounding twisted now. She lied.A hot, bitter jealousy surged up and snapped inside me, strong enough to make my wolf growl from deep in my chest. Gr

Seraphina's POVI pressed my lips into a tight line. "Thanks," I said, trying to keep my voice calm, even though my insides were a mess. "But next time, just tell me directly."God, that was so embarrassing. He could've just said, "You've got something on your face." Did he really have to get all touchy like that? Weren't we supposed to keep things strictly professional?Sebastian leaned back into his leather chair casually, a glint of mischief in those gold-flecked eyes. "I did tell you," he said slowly, lips curling up in that irritating little smirk. "You just didn't pick up on it."Seriously? Tapping his own face counts as giving me a heads-up? What the hell kind of warning is that? Try pulling that move in front of your dad and see if he doesn't smack you for being weird!I clenched my fists, barely stopping myself from wiping that smug look off his face with one punch, then turned and stormed out of his office. It wasn't until I reached the restroom and caught sight of my bright

Third-person's POVMarcus didn't say a word. He just locked his eyes on Sebastian, and man, they were blazing-unfiltered rage, raw and dangerous. Slowly, he started to lift his hand. The room went still in an instant, thick with the tension of a fight about to break out."Marcus, don't be stupid here!" Liam hissed, grabbing for his arm.If that punch landed, by tomorrow the entire East Coast would be buzzing about how the Crescent Tribe's Alpha tried to take a swing at Sebastian on Shadow Pack's turf-all for his ex. His pride? Gone.Marcus froze mid-move.Abruptly, he turned to Seraphina, eyes sharp as knives. The kind she used to love, now filled with a storm of betrayal and pain, screaming silently: How could you? How could you do this to me in front of him? What the hell is wrong with you?Seraphina didn't flinch.Her wolf gave a low, irritated growl in her head. Seriously, Marcus? We're done. Over. Has it really only been a day? Did you black out the breakup or just drown it in wh

Third Person's POVBy the time they got back to the office, it was already close to one in the afternoon. As usual, Sebastian headed off to the lounge for his midday nap, while Seraphina and Kane exited his office one after the other."Kane, about the afternoon-""I'll wake him up."Before she could finish, Kane cut in. Seraphina blinked in surprise, then gave him a warm smile. "Perfect. If you've got too much on your plate, feel free to hand anything over to me."Kane shot her a glance, his tone matching hers with a tinge of subtle meaning. "Sure thing."As he watched Seraphina walk away with a pep in her step, something flickered in Kane's eyes-something a bit conflicted. His guess was bold, and frankly, Sebastian had never been the type for that sort of thing.But maybe... the Alpha was lonely? The thought made Kane feel a bit sorry for Seraphina, who seemed completely oblivious.For Seraphina, though, the worry on Kane's face flew right past her.Over the next week, her work went
