All Chapters of Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Brian's POVHonestly, I didn't want to bring Silvia to any public event. After that damn banquet, my family had become a laughingstock among both the media and high society. Every time I saw those mocking headlines, it felt like my pride was being whipped—hard, with venom.But today was different. This art exhibition was showcasing Silvia's work, and all the proceeds would go to charity. This was the perfect chance to save face, to prove to everyone that the Blackwood Pack still had both compassion and class.What I didn't expect—what I couldn't have predicted—was running into Ashley here.She was wearing a scarlet dress I'd never seen before. That color—like freshly spilled blood—was so striking it almost made me forget how to breathe. The silk fabric clung to her frame, accentuating every curve I once knew so well. She looked... different. Like a rose blooming at midnight—dangerous, yet undeniably captivating.I froze. For a moment, my mind blanked, every coherent thought wiped away

Silvia's POVHerbert.The Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack.His gaze, stuck to Ashley like glue, was filled with blatant admiration and praise.Brian's eyes were on her too, on that damned velvet gift box in Ashley's hands. His jaw was so tight it looked like it might snap, and those eyes of his... swirling with something I'd never seen before—something dark, violent.Jealousy.That gnawing, poisonous jealousy churned in my gut, rising like acid that burned its way up my throat.Why her?What made Ashley, a completely useless Omega, someone who didn't even have a wolf spirit, deserving of catching the attention of the two strongest Alphas in all of North America?I gave everything for this banquet, all for Brian's reputation! I barely slept three hours a night, wracking my brain, enduring all those sneering looks from the servants. I acted like a real Luna, for the good of this pack, for Brian!And what did I get in return?A complete disaster. Brian's cold, indifferent stare. And the mock

Silvia suddenly collapsed, immediately drawing everyone's attention.Silvia was perfectly healthy.From my perspective, she was just putting on this little act to get out of her awkward situation.Honestly, if anyone paid even a bit of attention, they'd easily see right through Silvia's amateurish performance.But, of course, Brian trusted her completely, without a shred of doubt."Ashley! What did you do?!" Brian's roar came at me like an enraged beast. He stormed over, scooping Silvia's "fragile" body into his arms with all the urgency in the world. He carefully cradled her head, his sapphire-blue eyes brimming with distress and tenderness.For a moment, a sharp sting pierced my heart.That gentleness in his eyes? It was something I never had.There was a time when I cared about that. A lot.But since that day—the day I barely survived the attack from those rogue wolves—my heart no longer followed him.Still, I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt, even just a little, every now and t

Ashley's POVThe gallery finally quieted down as the guests slowly trickled away. The mixed scent of perfume, champagne, and the lingering tension from earlier conflicts was starting to dissipate.Everything had gone just as planned—actually, even better than I had imagined. Silvia was thoroughly disgraced, and I had crushed Brian's pride with my own hands. I should have felt exhilarated, like popping open the most expensive bottle of champagne to celebrate.But my chest felt hollow, like something had been ripped out of me.I was the one who had been plagiarized, the one who was wronged. Yet now, here I was, forced to play the role of the conniving, cold-hearted villain. Justice didn't come gently; I had to claw it back in the ugliest, most self-destructive way possible.Just then, the heavy glass doors of the gallery flew open with a resounding "bang." I didn't even need to turn around—the suffocating wave of an Alpha's fury mixed with raw possessiveness told me all I needed to know

Silvia's POVThis has got to be the most humiliating moment of my life.So embarrassing.The phone barely rang once before it was picked up, Brian's deep, impatient voice coming through. "What is it?""Brian..." I let my voice break, slipping into the tone I'd practiced countless times—the one that always triggered his protective instincts. "I... I'm in trouble...""Get to the point, Silvia. I'm busy."I took a deep breath, speaking in the most pitiful, helpless voice I could muster. "I... I'm on Rodeo Drive... I found this dress I liked, but... but Ashley and her friend showed up here too... They tried to provoke me, laughed at me... I lost my balance and the dress got ruined... Now the store's demanding compensation... A hundred grand...""What? A hundred grand?!" His muffled growl on the other end carried a barely controlled rage, and even through the receiver, it was enough to make my stomach twist. "Silvia, have you lost your mind?! I told you just a few days ago that the pack's
