All Chapters of The Alpha's Scorned Bride: Chapter 311 - Chapter 320

Ava's POVI pressed myself against the wall. Beside me, Reuben barely breathed. Laura strode toward the entrance and yanked the door open.After scanning the hallway, she finally shut the door again. Only then did I release the breath I'd been holding.Reuben and I practically stumbled into the stairwell outside the corridor. The moment the door swung shut behind us, we pressed ourselves against the wall, both breathing hard.My heart pounded wildly against my ribs, and even my wolf was restless after what we had just heard. They had both been involved in what happened to June. They had also poisoned Beatrice, and now they wanted her dead.Reuben suddenly turned toward the stairs. I grabbed his arm immediately."Where are you going?""To find Magnus Stone," he said without hesitation.I almost laughed."Have you forgotten something?"He frowned."Magnus is sleeping with Kate," I reminded him. "And she's car

Ava's POVI leaned back in my chair. "It was Laura." The words came out flat and certain. "Just like June."I remembered the doctor who had told me the truth, the one who had mysteriously died afterward.My wolf bared her teeth. "Everyone called June's death an accident, but nobody ever investigated."I shut my eyes."The doctor told me June's pneumonia was deliberately neglected." My throat tightened painfully. "Laura allowed her condition to worsen."Then came the final blow. "And afterward, the doctor who revealed this died."There was silence."Laura is doing exactly the same thing to Jasper."I thought that would be enough. Surely Luna Clara would understand. Surely she would put Jasper's safety above everything else.Instead, her voice turned cold, colder than I'd ever heard before."Ava, Victor manages an entire pack. Raising a pup alone isn't easy, but he's done far more than you have."My wo

Ava's POVA cruel smile appeared on Laura's face. "Partly."The answer didn't shock me. She looked down at Jasper with open disgust."Ever since you saved him, he stopped being attached to me." Hatred filled her eyes. "He started missing you."Her fingers curled into fists. "I hate you, Ava." Her voice shook with venom. "I can't stand seeing anyone choose you over me."My wolf growled. "So Jasper had to suffer?"She smiled wickedly."Laura." I looked at her calmly. "I know about you and Lucian."Her face instantly changed. I continued before she could speak."But don't worry." A bitter smile tugged at my lips. "I won't tell Victor."The reason was because after everything that had happened, I already knew Victor wouldn't believe me if I told him.Victor's POV"Stay away from Ava!" Anderson's furious roar echoed through the stairwell.My wolf immediately pushed against my ribs, responding to th

Victor's POVHalf an hour later, we arrived at the Grand Council. After another long wait, our case was finally called.Because it was a divorce case involving an alpha and his luna, several senior court elders attended the proceeding.The atmosphere inside the council was solemn. At the center stood the Supreme Judge of the Werewolf Court.The divorce papers were reviewed. The custody arrangements were approved. Everything proceeded smoothly, until the final matter: the mate bond.The judge's voice echoed through the chamber. "According to werewolf law, the severing of a fated mate bond requires a formal rejection ritual witnessed by the court."A painful silence filled the room. My wolf immediately became restless, terrified and desperate.I closed my eyes briefly. This was what Ava wanted. I had promised myself I would give it to her, even if it destroyed me.The Supreme Judge raised a ceremonial silver blade. "Ava Smith." T

Ava's POVI instantly recognized him. It was Victor.Jasper turned first. The moment he saw him, his face lit up."Dad!" He ran forward.Victor immediately lifted him into his arms. Then his gaze settled on me. "I'm here to take you to the amusement park."Before I could refuse, he reached out and lightly grabbed my wrist."Please, Ava. I know there won't be many chances like this." His eyes lowered briefly. "Just one day." His throat bobbed. "One day as a normal family."The irony almost made me laugh. If Victor had valued our family from the beginning... we would've been a family of four. June would still be here with us. I would never have lost my daughter.Then Jasper's excited voice shattered my thoughts."Yes!" He nearly jumped out of Victor's arms. "I want to go. Please, Mommy!" he said excitedly.I looked at him. He was smiling and looking very happy. I didn't want to break his heart."Fine." I agre
