Lahat ng Kabanata ng After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Kabanata 211 - Kabanata 220

Scarlett POVWhat did Christina just say?She said, "The beloved one?The word struck me the wrong way.What made my skin prickle and Lydia shift uneasily under my ribs?I stared at Christina, frozen for a second, while she kept talking to her son as if I weren’t even in the room. “Where’s she hurt, Jaxen?”Something flickered in his eyes, quick, buried, almost shy, before he looked away from me.His voice stayed low, controlled. “Mild concussion. They’re keeping her for observation. Two, maybe three days.”“Then you take care of her.” Christina’s tone left no room for argument. Soft but firm. The way she said it made it sound as if I were still family. Like the divorce papers had never existed.Watching the two of them, the easy way she treated me like a daughter-in-law who just needed rest felt off. Like the entire world had decided the past d

Liliana POVThe photo of Scarlett bound and bruised in the back of that van had lit something bright and vicious under my skin. For twenty-four hours I rode high, pacing the tiled floors of the safe house, checking the offshore account every thirty minutes like a prayer.One hundred million. Clean. Untouchable.Enough to erase every humiliation Jaxen and that bitch had carved into me. I could already taste the future—a new name, an unknown country, and a new life where no one ever looked at me like I was disposable again.I called the men every half-hour. Occasionally, every twenty minutes. My voice stayed smooth and controlled, the way an Ashford was raised to sound, even when the wolf inside was clawing at the bars.“We’re across the border,” one of them said on the second day. “Send the exact address or name a meeting point.”I sent the coordinates without hesitation. I should have hear

Jaxen POV“Get the hell away from me. As far as you can go.”Scarlett’s voice carried the same thick disgust it always did now.Looking at the hard set of her mouth and the cold flash in her eyes, Liliana’s old words echoed in my head, pure poison. I knew that, but some stupid, hopeful part of me still wished they’d been true. That she’d loved me once. Really loved me.She never cared about you," Liliana had whispered years ago, soft and careful, like she was doing me a favor. She only ever wanted the name. The money. The position.My wolf had snarled, rejecting the claim on pure instinct, yet the words had lodged somewhere deep and refused to leave. Now, standing in this sterile room with Scarlett’s scent, still faintly mine under the hospital soap and pain meds, clawing at my lungs, the same voice replayed on a loop. She never loved you.She was brushing me off.I heard it c

Jaxen POVThe second the call connected, she launched in.“Do you have nothing better to do than harass Delaney?”I had done nothing wrong.I’d asked the staff to drop off supplements so Scarlett could actually recover.Caring about her health shouldn’t have been a crime.I set the phone down and stared at the far wall of the conference room.Her last words still rang in my ears: You’ll never learn what respect means.People like you who think they know best are the worst.My wolf surged the moment her voice cut off.He slammed against my control, furious and restless, demanding I go after her, fix it, and make her take the words back.My pulse hammered in my throat. I felt the tips of my claws press hard against the insides of my fingertips, a warning I barely contained. The surrounding air thickened.Every pair of eyes in the room dropped the moment th

Charlott POVHe called me back in.I hovered outside longer than necessary, smoothing my jacket twice even though it didn’t need it.A senior executive spotted me and asked carefully if the Alpha’s mood had gotten worse.“If it can wait, wait,” I told him. He vanished without another word.I knocked and entered.“Alpha Hale.”The air in the office still carried the sharp edge of his earlier agitation.“Find out who started the rumors and who kept them alive.”I hesitated. Rumors rarely grew from nothing.Liliana had walked these halls as if she belonged.He’d greeted her personally more than once, sometimes with a hand at her back, sometimes lingering longer than necessary.Those small things had fed the story for months.He caught the pause. His eyes narrowed.“Problem?”“Not a problem. Just
