《The Alpha's Scorned Bride》全部章節：第 221 章 - 第 230 章

Ava's POVI leaned back against the sofa, ice settling into my veins. “I will use this as a bargaining chip to blackmail Magnus.”Nora's eyes gleamed with dangerous amusement. “Why don't we plan this properly?” she said slyly. “That video alone isn't enough.”She leaned closer, lowering her voice conspiratorially.“We need something truly explosive. Imagine exposing Magnus and Kate naked in bed together.” Her grin widened wickedly. “That would keep that old wolf obedient for the rest of his miserable life.”I nearly choked on my own breath.My wolf flattened her ears in disbelief while Nora looked entirely too pleased with herself.“And that's not all,” she continued excitedly. “We should ask Dr. Reuben to help retrieve the medical report too. It will be a double attack. Once we have both pieces, Laura and the others won't stand a chance.”Immediately, I shook my head.“No.” My voice came out firmer than expected. “Reuben is friends with Laura and Victor. I can't drag him into this.”

Anderson's POVMy explanation sounded weak even to my own ears. For the first time in a long time, I felt completely powerless.I, Anderson Shelton, Alpha of the Crimson Pack and the wolf everyone called cold-blooded and untouchable, was panicking because one fragile-looking woman refused to believe me.My wolf paced violently beneath my skin.She still thinks we're lying.The thought alone made a painful feeling twist in my chest.The moment Ava accused me yesterday, I couldn't even sleep. I spent the entire night digging through old records like a madman.Every surveillance clip, every visitation log, every prison document from that year, I reviewed them personally, frame by frame, hour after hour.My eyes had burned from exhaustion, but I refused to stop, because I needed proof, not for the courts, not for my reputation, but for her.And eventually, I found it.Those charity visits. At first glance, they looked harmless. Wealthy individuals donating supplies to prison facilities wa

Anderson’s POVThe moment the question left my mouth, her entire body went rigid.Her scent changed instantly, spiking with fear, conflict, and hesitation.My wolf stirred.She knows.I already suspected that as well because in the past, she had always made suggestive remarks regarding the real culprit.Ava didn’t speak. Instead, her eyes turned inward, distant, as though she was standing somewhere far away from this room entirely.I could feel her thoughts spiraling.Whoever this was… they mattered, or worse, they were dangerous enough that even now, after everything, she was still afraid to name them.My jaw tightened.Whoever dared reduce her like this… they would answer to me.“Ava,” I said more softly, leaning closer so my presence wouldn’t overwhelm her. “Think about what you’ve endured. Do you really want to protect them?”Her lips parted slightly, but no sound came out.My wolf growled low in frustration. Not at her, but at whoever had made her hesitate like this. At whoever h

Ava's POVThe drive back to the Grand Council was quiet except for the low hum of the engine.Rain clouds drifted across the sky outside the car windows. I sat in the passenger seat, flipping through the case documents in my lap while my wolf remained restless.Finally, I looked at Anderson.“Mr. Shelton, were there really no vehicles near the scene that night five years ago? No passing cars? Nothing parked nearby?”If Matthew Flores could get another trial because of newly discovered evidence, then why couldn’t I?Even one vehicle recording something could change everything. Anderson kept one hand on the steering wheel, his expression darkening slightly.“I already investigated that thoroughly,” he said. “There were no passing vehicles nearby, and all the surrounding surveillance cameras malfunctioned that night.”My wolf immediately growled.Too convenient.Anderson continued coldly, “Even the traffic footage from roads leading to the area was erased. Someone planned everything in a

Ava's POVJustin either didn’t notice or simply didn’t care.“Last I checked,” he continued viciously, “she’s still Victor’s wife. So let me get this straight. Your friend’s wife killed your fiancée, and you can still sleep with her?”My wolf snarled violently inside me.“Anderson,” Justin said coldly, “where exactly did your morals go?”Anderson took a step forward, but I stopped him before he could speak.“Justin Kurt,” I said dryly, folding my arms. “You really haven’t changed in ten years.”Justin turned toward me immediately, his eyes full of contempt. “Ava,” he sneered, “do you know why you’ll never compare to Laura?” He paused, then added, “Because you’re trash.”My expression didn’t change.“Victor would never truly want a woman like you.”I smiled. “How funny,” I said softly. “Do you know why Laura would never choose you?”Justin frowned.“Because you can’t keep your dick in your pants or your disgusting opinions to yourself.”Anderson choked slightly beside me.My wolf looke
