《99 TIMES DIVORCED: My Alpha Husband Wants Me Back》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 38 章

Jodie Kaiser steps in and pulls me to himself. Calden grunts, walking to us and pulling Kaiser away from me with force. “Hey, asshole,” Calden grits out, grabbing Kaiser’s arm. “That title only belongs to Calden Ballard.” I couldn’t hold back the snort that left my throat. Kaiser always wins against Calden with words, and somehow there’s a little satisfaction in the way they bicker. Calden’s muscles tighten, and he glares at me, then back at Kaiser, as if this is a setup. “You can’t just walk into my Luna’s office, ignore the Alpha of the pack you’re on, and hug my wife… you want to lose your hands?” “Can you really do that to a distinguished guest?” Kaiser shoots back. Calden’s grip tightens. My eyes dart from Calden to Kaiser, and it feels like there’s an invisible bolt of lightning shooting between them. Goddess, my hand palms my forehead. Men, seriously… Calden raises his brows, clearly pissed. “Distinguished guest? Don't flatter yourself… everyone is in their designated ro

Jodie I can tell Calden just zooming off after hearing about Enid’s condition still bothers Kaiser because he is failing to hide the disgust and pity in those eyes staring at me. I look away for a moment, my gaze catching the wine bottles on the shelves, and I suddenly realize I haven’t even offered him a drink. “Wine?” I finally break the silence as I push myself up from the chair and walk toward the shelf in the corner of the office. “Uhm, that’s okay,” he responds softly. I pick one I know he might like. I haven’t touched any of these since my stomach started rejecting everything I try to keep down, even coffee. I grab a glass and pour, the sound filling the room a little too loudly. It feels safer to change the topic and distract him before he says whatever is sitting heavy in his chest. Kaiser is the last person I want looking at me with that pitying gaze. I walk back toward him with the wine, and he reaches out to take the glass. “You don’t have to stay with him, Jodie,” he

Jodie I least expected Calden to react the way he did, like something inside him snapped the moment he saw Kaiser holding me. He knows Kaiser has always been around me. He knows we have never been anything more than friends. So where is this coming from? Where did he dig up this ridiculous idea that I am doing something shameful behind his back?I turn my head slightly, just enough to look at Kaiser. He has already moved back to the chair he was sitting on earlier, one hand braced on the table, fingers curled tight. His jaw is clenched so hard I can almost hear his teeth grind. He looks pissed, but he is holding himself together, probably more for my sake than his. I hate this.Embarrassment washes over me in a thick, suffocating wave. What the hell is Calden doing? This is the Luna’s office, and Kaiser is a guest, a visiting Alpha. Yet here he is, acting like a feral wolf that has lost all sense.I open my mouth, meaning to grab Calden’s arm, pull him aside, tell him to calm down so

JodieKaiser and I went on, and for a moment I almost forgot how much of a mess my life in this pack has become. Sitting here with him, away from the walls of the office and Calden’s sharp words, feels oddly normal. Like the old days. We talk about all the time that slipped past us without real communication, Kaiser is still Kaiser. Even now that he is a powerful Alpha, there is still that kindness in him, the way he listens like what I am saying actually matters.“Recently, my pack has doubled security around the pack borders and enforced strict searches within the pack for unknown identities,” he says, his gaze drifting around the yard as if he expects something to jump out at us.We are sitting outside, not far from the pack office.“Is something wrong?” I ask. “Why would you go that far when you are not at war?”He looks back at me, one brow lifting. “Has Silver Moon not gotten the signal yet?” His voice lowers slightly. “There’s been this strange stench of rotten wild rogues.
