บททั้งหมดของ After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Jaxen POV Liliana’s voice drifted through the phone, sweet and gossipy.“I ran into Scarlett at the auction. She dropped a fortune on some antique crystal orb. Eight figures, easy…”The rest of her words blurred.Where the hell was she getting money like that? My mother? Regina?No wonder she hadn’t come crawling back after I cut off her cards. She was out there living large, acting like our marriage was already ancient history.I ended the call and immediately dialed Carlsen, the trust fund manager. “Starting this month, stop all payments to Regina. Cut off every channel. Make it hurt.”My mother’s money was unreachable, but starving my aunt’s lifestyle? That was easy.I’d spotted Scarlet

Jaxen POV My phone buzzed. Gary.“Hey man, you’ll never guess who I ran into at my place tonight—Scarlett, your wife.”“And?” I asked, voice flat.“She was in a bad mood. Cussed me out pretty good.” Gary paused. “She didn’t have a ride, so I offered to take her home. She shot me down.”“She cursed you out, and you’re calling me to play referee?”“Nah, it’s just… I’m saying Scarlett’s getting a little too wild lately. She doesn’t just represent herself—she represents you, the Alpha.” He sighed. “Liliana knows how to carry herself.”I hung up.Gary called right back.“What?” I snapped.“Look, I’m just being real. Scarlett’s acting is entitled as hell. Liliana’s more… appropriate for the position.&rdqu

Scarlett POV Wednesday.I was glued to my desk, wrapping up the last bits of the day’s work, when a coworker popped her head in.“Hey Scarlett, are you coming down for dinner with us?”I smiled politely. “Can’t tonight. Still buried in this.”“You cook? Or got someone at home doing it for you?” she teased.“Single life’s rough, huh?” another one chimed in with fake sympathy.I just laughed it off without saying much. Only Denise and the HR person who’d done my second interview knew I was still technically married. Everyone else assumed I was single, and I let them. My personal life was staying in its lane.After they left, I powered through and finished early. Denise had made it clear: every Wednesday and Sunday, I needed to stop by Havenwoods.This was my second time, so I knew the route. I pulled up to Allen’s h

Jaxen POVThis time was different.Scarlett didn’t turn her face away the second she saw me. No familiar flicker of irritation, no awkward dodge. Instead, she looked… repulsed. And somehow, that stung more than her old clinginess ever had.I used to take her constant need for me for granted. The way she’d wrap herself around me like a damn koala, those sparkling eyes locked on me like I was her entire world. I’d push her off sometimes, annoyed by how glued she always was. But she never took the hint; she just kept coming back, happy and relentless.Now she couldn’t stand being in my arms.When had those bright eyes gone dull? When had I blurred into them, replaced by everything else in the room? She wasn’t looking at me anymore. She was looking for an escape.My wolf stirred inside me, a low, restless growl vibrating through my chest.“Allen! There’s a creep here, help

Scarlett POVI’d barely kicked the door shut when I dialed Allen, already bracing myself. The apology tumbled out before he could speak.“Allen, I’m so sorry about last night. My almost-ex showed up, and things got… messy.”A sharp snort crackled through the phone. “Your taste in husbands is dogshit, idiot.”I pinched the bridge of my nose. “I have a name. Use it.”“I checked the security footage. You let him in. What, you two using my place as your personal fight-and-fuck spot now?”Heat crawled up my neck. “It wasn’t like that. I was trying to get him to leave...”Click.He hung up.I stared at the phone, jaw tight. Perfect. Now I had to worry whether Allen would run straight to Denise and get me fired.I rubbed my temples, cursing Jaxen Hale under my breath the entire time.The next morning, I walked into the office as if nothing had happened. Denise took one look at me and jerked her chin toward her office.My stomach dropped. Okay, here we go.I stepped inside before she could sp
