Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

~AlaricShe was still staring at me, but I knew for a fact that she was lost in her own thoughts. I let the silence sit while I studied her. My gaze dropped to her lip now and then. She was nervous, that I can tell. She always bites her lip whenever she is. So I waited for the time to drop the actual request. But I couldn't wait any longer and just did it.“I want you to go with the breeders this time,” I said, and her expression dropped. Her mouth fell open, and I could see the mixture of shock, confusion, and something else in her eyes that I couldn't guess."The elders," I continued quickly, clearing my throat. "I can't use them for this."Her eyes shot back up at me with a little crease between her brows. "Why not?""Because I don't trust them. Some of them have connections to this Alpha that go way back, further than my tenure. I can't confirm who's clean and who isn't, and I'm not sending anyone into that territory who might be feeding information back before we even get there.

~AlaricHer delicious scent hit me first before I even saw her. And you'd think I'd be used to not perceiving anything else except hers by now, but no.I wasn't at all. And each time it feels maddening, yet calming at the same time.I paused when I finally saw her, my heart doing that same skip again. She was moving through the courtyard slowly, her arms swaying loosely as she walked, and her head slightly tilted down, probably lost somewhere inside her own head. I chuckled, shaking my head. The afternoon light was hitting the courtyard, giving this ethereal fairyland setting, and she blended with it perfectly, looking angelic in the sunlight without even trying, with her hair swaying a little in the breeze.My wolf immediately went calm; he wasn't doing his usual restless pacing or the constant nudging whenever she was near. He just quieted down, whining softly.Sucker.My fingers twitched, and I almost waved and called out to her, but I stalled.“I don't think it's a nice idea; she

~Althea"Caiden!"My voice cracked through the heavy atmosphere as I leaned further over the railing, straining to see anything in the darkness below.But I got nothing, just thick, charged silence, paired with the sound of my own heartbeat slamming in my ears.At least it was a one-story building, so he wouldn't be too hurt and would be on his way here now.I whipped around. "Why would you do that?!" I snapped, "What is wrong with you?! You pushed him off a building, Alaric!"He was still staring down at where Caiden had fallen, his expression twisting into something before he masked it completely.And then he turned to me, his concern-filled eyes dropping to my stern face immediately."Are you okay?" He stepped closer, hand coming up, but I slapped it away."Don't.""Your nose is bleeding—""I said don't!" I stepped back, pressing the back of my hand to my nose myself. I flinched from the pain, already tasting copper, which made the fury in my chest flare so hot it made my eyes stin

~AltheaAs if he sensed my discomfort, he turned around, eyes sweeping across the crowd, and my stomach lurched so hard I nearly stumbled on the spot. I dropped my head quickly, letting my hair fall over my face, and praying to every deity that existed that he hadn't seen my face in that half second.I peeked over my hair, letting out a breath as I watched him dismiss the guard he was talking to with a wave, before saying something low to a man beside him, then started walking away without looking at any of us twice.The man he spoke to approached us, before clearing his throat. "I'm Alpha Halter's Beta. Follow me.”Immediately the breeders moved, nudging me forward also, and I moved with them, keeping my head down while pulling my cloak closer around me, but inside me? It was a mess. The nerves were crawling up my skin, and I could feel my back sweaty and clinging to my dress.I glanced back. About to tell Sera my predicament, but she wasn't behind me. My brows furrowed instantly.H

~AltheaI've been compromised…And thrust into the unbearable life of a breeder.But for the other breeders, I don't know what fate awaits them.Now, soaking in a warm bath they put me in, which I barely noticed. My mind was already somewhere else entirely.Halter was Vespera's uncle.That was the thing I kept circling back to no matter what else was happening around me. Vespera's uncle.Which meant the moment Nolan realized I was no longer in Darkmoor- and he would surely do- it wouldn't take long for that information to travel from him to Vespera.And then, I'd be in serious trouble. And another part of my problem: Sera was still missing. It was eating at the back of my mind. Was she taken against her will? Did Alpha Halter get to her? Is she in trouble?I don't know, and that's the worst!I needed to wrap this up. Fast.I already had what I came for. The dead breeders, the breach of contract, the blind Luna, everything that told me something deeply wrong had taken root here long b
