All Chapters of After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Christina POVI found out later that my son had anticipated Scarlett’s refusal to see him.He’d prepared both paper files and a digital drive: neat timelines, chat logs, travel records, and everything arranged so she could examine the proof without having to face him.What he clearly hadn’t grasped was the simplest truth: when someone has already stopped trusting you, even the strongest evidence just looks like a carefully staged performance.He’d waited from the night before, through the morning, into the evening, checking his phone as if it might suddenly change its mind.When nothing came, the restlessness finally drove him to my door.The moment he stepped inside, I caught the shift in his scent, lighter than it had been days ago, carrying a thin thread of hope that made my wolf lift her head in mild surprise.The last time we’d spoken, he’d smelled of stone and frustration.

Jaxen POVThe detention center smelled like industrial cleaner, old fear, and the flat chemical nothing of fluorescent lights.My wolf hated it on contact.The air was wrong, stripped of anything living.Every breath scraped against instincts that had never been meant for cages and concrete.Liliana looked smaller than I remembered.Shoulders curled inward, face pale under the harsh lights, the fight already drained out of her.When the guard said she had a visitor, her eyes lit up for half a second.Hope. The last scrap of it.Then she saw me, and the light died as if someone had cut the power.She sat like a dog that had already been kicked too many times.The scent of her resignation was thick enough to taste—bitter, defeated.My wolf watched her without interest.She had been nothing to him. Only one scent had ever registered as mine, and it was not hers.I pu

Scarlett POVMy intuition had been correct.Right now I wanted to punch something.Jaxen had always been a special kind of crazy, but this was next level.He’d moved into the apartment directly above mine.Like the universe had a personal grudge and dropped my ex right on top of my head.The elevator doors stood open.He was inside, one hand holding the button, the other casually braced against the frame, as if he were doing me a favor.The scent of him hit me first, and that underlying wild note that only an alpha carried.My pulse kicked hard against my ribs.I didn’t take the “favor.”“Are you coming in?” he asked, voice low and steady.“Hell no.”I turned my face away.Looking at him was the last thing I needed.The door closed.His smile faded.Something harder settled over his features—dete

Scarlett POVTwo weeks.That was how long I'd been walking into offices, smiling through interviews, answering the same questions, and pretending I wasn't exhausted.By the end, I had five solid offers sitting in my inbox.Five.And somehow, I still couldn't make myself choose one.Maybe that was why I agreed to one more interview.One last interview.Then I'd pick a job, sign the paperwork, and start putting the mess of the past few weeks behind me.At least, that was the plan.I was three blocks from the building when the car ahead of me slammed on its brakes.I hit mine a second later.The tires screamed against the pavement.My car swerved.For one terrifying second, I was certain I was going to re

Scarlett POVI had barely made it through the front door when my phone rang.“Scarlett, Winston Jackson. I’ve been trying to reach Delaney all afternoon. If you see her, tell her to call me back.”“Sure. I’ll let her know.”I hung up and tossed my keys onto the entry table.Winston Jackson?Delaney's job had officially become everybody's emergency.I had barely taken off my shoes when the front door opened again.Delaney stepped inside, still holding her phone in one hand and a stack of files in the other.She looked exhausted.“Busy day?”She gave me a tired smile. Try the impossible.”I leaned against the kitchen counter. Winston just called me.”That got her attention.“He couldn't reach you.”“He's been calling all day.”“He said if I saw you, I should make sure y
