All Chapters of The Alpha's Regret: Divorced Luna Crowned Queen: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Diana's POV The heels weren't mine.I stood frozen in the doorway of the house I had called home for three years, staring at a pair of red stilettos tossed carelessly by the shoe rack. They weren't mine, and they weren't likely any of the maids' either. The staff knew better than to leave things lying around at midnight.The gift bag was still swinging gently at my side. I had been imagining this moment for two days, picturing my husband, Ian's face when he saw the watch I picked out for him, the surprise I had flown home early from a business trip for. I almost laughed the heels off as nothing. Almost. Maybe a cousin had stopped by, or one of Ian's friends had brought someone home from a party. Anything else felt more believable.Then I climbed the stairs, careful not to alert him. He should be sleeping by now.The bedroom door was already cracked open. I pushed it the rest of the way, and the bag slipped from my fingers before my brain finished processing the sight in front of m

Ian's POV I poured two glasses of champagne and handed one to Brielle. She curled up on the couch beside me, her legs tucked under her, wearing nothing but my shirt."You seem happy for a man who just lost his wife," Brielle said, smiling over the rim of her glass."I didn't lose anything," I said.

Brielle asked, sitting up to look at me. "I've waited more than three years, Ian. I don't want to wait three more.""You won't have to," I said. "Diana thinks she's protecting herself by freezing the accounts and running to her lawyers. She has no idea what's coming.""Tell me again," Brielle said, settling back against me. "Tell me about the law."I sm

Diana's POV I climbed the courthouse steps, my chin held high though my stomach churned with every step. Cameras flashed the moment I appeared, and reporters shouted questions I refused to answer."She actually did it," a woman muttered as I passed. "Divorcing the future Alpha. Who does she think she is? Even though she's an alpha wolf, she can't rule without a mate."I kept walking, refusing to let my face show anything.Sussy leaned close. "Ignore them. You know the truth."Inside the courtroom, Ian sat beside his lawyers, looking far too calm for a man on trial for his own betrayal. Brielle sat behind him, her lips curved into a smile she didn't bother hiding.I took my seat beside Mr. Kent, forcing myself to breathe steadily. "How bad is this going to get?" I whispered."As bad as they want to make it," Mr. Kent said quietly. "Stay calm. Let the evidence speak."The judge called the hearing to order, and Mr. Kent rose first, laying out the evidence clearly; the affair, the stolen
