《Pregnant and Rejected, Now She’s Back!》全部章節：第 101 章 - 第 110 章

The cigarette smoke hit Sasha before she even opened the apartment door. Marlboro Reds, her father’s brand. He only smoked those when he was celebrating something, which meant someone else was about to have a very bad day.She fumbled with her keys, the metal slick with sweat from her seven hour shift at the diner. The grease smell clung to her uniform, mixing with the cheap cherry blossom body spray she’d bought at the dollar store. She was nineteen years old and she smelled like burnt coffee and broken dreams.“That you, Sash?” Her brother Isaac’s voice drifted from the living room, unusually cheerful.Her stomach clenched. Isaac never used her nickname.She pushed the door open and the scene before her confirmed her worst fears. Her parents sat on the sagging brown couch with the cigarette burn on the left armrest that her mother blamed her for, even though Sasha had never touched a cigarette in her life. Her father wore his “good” shirt, the navy polo he saved for visits to his bo

As she folded clothes into the box she excitedly considered the possible locations she could start a new life. Maybe France, although she wasn’t sure she remembered the French she was taught in high school, or perhaps Cambodia. Maybe she would end up deciding at the airport. She didn’t care where as long as it wasn’t here or the place she grew up.She started to do a little dance but went still as she felt someone behind her knowing she was alone in the house.“Going somewhere?”Her blood turned to ice as she turned and saw the man who shook her world ten years ago.“Logan,” she whispered. Of all the ways she imagined they would meet again, she never considered this; on the day of his father’s death.“So soon after your beloved husband’s death?” He left the threshold and walked into the simply furnished room and sat on her reading chair.It was clear from the cold look in his eyes he didn’t care about her so she quickly composed herself. “What are you doing here?”“Unlike you, I had n

Who are you?” I asked again, because the question seemed reasonable and I didn’t understand why it wasn’t being answered.Another long pause. Then the voice returned, stripped now of its bored impatience, carrying something harder to identify. “Stop this, Ellie. Right now.”“I’m sorry,” I said carefully, “I genuinely don’t know who I’m speaking to.”The presence pulled back sharply, like a door slamming. The connection dropped and my head was my own again, just mine, which was both a relief and somehow lonelier than I expected.Sera was staring at me.“Ellie.” Her voice had changed. Lower now, careful. “That was Caden. Your husband.”I looked at her and turned the words over the way you’d turn over a stone you’d never seen before, examining the shape of it. Husband. I was married. To someone named Caden, who had just mindlinked me from somewhere he clearly had no intention of leaving, to tell me to stop making a scene.“He’s not coming,” I said.“No.” Sera’s jaw tightened. “He’s not.”

The two registration certificates were processed quickly, official documents that would register our bond with both our packs and the interpack council.After Cade carried me out of the Registry Office, he took one of the certificates from my hand and tucked it into his jacket.Then he held out his hand again. “Phone.”I blinked at him, confused, before pulling out my phone and handing it over.His long fingers moved swiftly across the screen before he returned it to me.“My number and my apartment security code,” he said simply. “Stay if you want, don’t if you don’t. I’m not there most of the time anyway.”Then he pulled a bank card from his wallet and held it out.“My payroll card. PIN is six nines.”I stared at the plain card, then at his simple clothes, my enhanced wolf senses picking up the scent of smoke and ash that clung to him from his work.A firefighter’s salary, even for an Alpha, wouldn’t be substantial.My limited edition handbag alone probably cost more than he made in

Isla’s POVMaria immediately bowed deeper, recognizing the direct order from her Luna. “Yes, Luna Thornwood.”She led several other omegas past my father, who stood there fuming but ultimately powerless against my mother’s direct command.“You’re completely unreasonable!” he shouted at my mother’s back, but his voice lacked real conviction.Ultimately, facing my mother’s furious Luna presence, his own resolve faltered completely.He didn’t dare openly confront her when she was like this, not with pack hierarchy so clearly on her side.Soon, several omegas arrived carrying armfuls of exquisite boxes and bags, designer labels visible on nearly every item.They deposited everything at Selene’s feet in a pile that represented months of generosity and affection.My mother pointed at the scattered items, her voice cold as winter. “Take your things and leave our pack house. You’re no longer welcome here.”Selene’s eyes instantly filled with tears, her lower lip trembling as she looked around
