All Chapters of After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Scarlett POVHis heart thundered beneath my ear, strong, rapid, a powerful drumbeat that matched the frantic rhythm of my own. Each heavy thud vibrated through my body, syncing with the drug-fueled heat raging inside me. His breathing was rough, ragged, hot puffs against my skin that made my nipples tighten and painfully harden. The solid wall of his muscled chest rose and fell, radiating heat that seeped into my chilled, damp skin.In that moment, the familiar weight of his body against mine made my stomach twist with nausea and bitter recognition.For three long, humiliating years in this sham of a marriage, Jaxen had never once touched me like a mate. The only “intimacy” he ever demanded was when his wolf grew restless, or his cock needed relief: my mouth on him, efficient and silent, while his mind was clearly elsewhere. I'd drop to my knees like a well-trained concubine, swallowing his release and his indifference in equal measu

Scarlett POV The next afternoon, I arrived at Great Vision Group ten minutes early.The final-round interviewer wasn't from HR; it was someone from the CEO's office. I wasn't sure of her exact position, but I handled every question smoothly and professionally.Until she said, “The concluding round will be conducted by Miss Scott herself. Let me take you to the conference room.”We stepped into the elevator. Just as we were about to enter the meeting room, a cool, authoritative female voice sounded from the side.“Isn't this Mrs. Hale?”The voice carried a hint of surprise. “Our company has no business dealings with the Hale Group. To what do we owe the honor of your visit, Mrs. Hale?”“Miss Scott,” the woman beside me greeted respectfully before I could react.Denise Scott was speaking directly to me and clearly knew exactly who I was.I hadn'

Scarlett POVThe man looked ready to rip the door off its hinges, his face twisted with pure road rage and fury.Delaney and I weren't stupid. No way in hell were we stepping out first.Not when we were clearly in the wrong, and he was built like the bench-pressed Ferraris for fun.He slammed his fist against the window again; the glass vibrated. His expression twisted into something downright feral, like a night-stalking wolf finally catching the scent of blood. Lips pulled back, teeth flashing.Delaney fumbled for her phone, dialing emergency services with shaking fingers.I scanned the floor of the car for anything: pepper spray, a damn umbrella, something to fight back with if he got inside. My heart hammered against my ribs as if it wanted out.Then the passenger door of the Ferrari swung open.A woman stepped out, heels clicking on the asphalt, and my stomach bottomed out.Flora Smith.Of al

Scarlett POVI'd always known I didn't measure up to Jaxen Hale.For years, the fear of him realizing it, of some stunning she-wolf turning his head and making him toss me aside, had eaten me alive.Looking back, it was pathetic.If a man could be stolen that easily, he was never yours to begin with.And Jaxen? He'd never been mine.Somebody who wanted out had a thousand ways to make it happen. I finally understood that now.Flora aired all of it right there in front of everyone. Strangely, her nasty little speech didn't sting like it once would have. I dropped my hands from my face and stared her down. “Whether I'm good enough for Jaxen Hale is none of your damn business. Worry about keeping that trash mouth of yours shut instead of running it about things that don't concern you.”Delaney had been ready to push for assault charges against Flora for the scratches all over my face.But between

Scarlett POVDesperate times call for desperate measures.Delaney needed cash fast, so I wired her two hundred and fifty thousand dollars—everything I could spare after setting aside two months of living expenses.If I don’t find a job soon, I’d be screwed.That made Denise Scott’s offer of a two-hundred-thousand-dollar annual salary look impossible to turn down.I pulled out her business card and dialed the number.The moment I told her I was honored to accept the position at Great Vision Group, she moved fast. An offer letter hit my inbox within the hour.The next morning, I showed up for my first day.No more special treatment. No more being the boss’s wife with every door swinging open for me. At Great Vision, I was just another employee, and honestly? It felt strangely liberating.After finishing the paperwork, HR walked me through the executive floor, introducing me to
