All Chapters of Divorce, CEO Alpha's Regret: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Jaxon I'm disappointed that Nina would think of me as such a monster. I heard of the attack this morning, and from the horrid details, I'm hurt that her suspicion landed on me."I had nothing to do with the attack on your pack," I say earnestly.I watch her, looking for signs that she doesn't believe me, but all I can see behind those piercing blue eyes is a blank stare. It's like she's searching for something in my gaze, something that will confirm her suspicions or put her at ease. I can't blame her for doubting me; after all, our history is fraught with misunderstandings and miscommunications. But this is different.No matter how hurt I was, I could never go after her pack that way. It's just wrong not to mention, evil."Nina, you have to believe me," I implore, closing the distance between us until we're only inches apart. Her floral scent wraps around me, intoxicating and familiar, stirring memories of our times together.She looks up at me, her eyes flickering the uncertainty a

JaxonElijah and I stand mere inches apart, both of us barely holding back, my wolf pacing inside, urging me to finish this, to show him who’s in control. But then Nina’s voice cuts through, sharp and resolute, freezing both of us in place.“Enough,” she snaps, her voice commanding every bit of authority she has. “This isn’t some damn brawl in an alley. Both of you need to act with some decorum. You’re not rabid wolves fighting over scraps.”I try to calm the instinctive anger bubbling inside, clenching my fists to hold back. I watch as Nina’s gaze shifts, landing first on Dominic. She gives a small nod, silent but understood. Dominic steps forward, his posture protective, his eyes flickering from me to Elijah, daring either of us to make another move.Elijah, though, just stands there, his anger simmering beneath the surface. His gaze turns hard as he locks eyes with Nina, and I notice the subtle tension in his shoulders, the way he holds himself with that silent accusation. “Coming

NinaI walk into the family room, my heart racing as I see everyone waiting for me—my father, Dominic, Griffin, Lucas, and Callie. Lucas looks confused, clearly not up to speed on what just happened, but the others… they already know. They’re watching me closely, their faces a mix of concern and judgment, and it takes everything I have to hold my head up high.I take a deep breath. “I know what happened today… wasn’t my finest moment.” I’m not sure how to say it, so I just push forward. “It was a mistake. I’m not proud of it, but I need you all to understand—Jaxon and I are over. Whatever was left between us, it’s done.”Dominic crosses his arms, his gaze hard. “You think it’s just that simple?”I press my lips together, trying not to flinch under his stare. “Yes, Dominic. It is that simple.”“Oh, come on, Nina,” he snaps. “Jaxon’s an Alpha, and he’s not one to just… let things go. Especially after what happened.”Lucas, looking between us with confusion, finally cuts in. “Wait, hold

NinaI’m staring at a report on my screen, the words blurring together as my fingers tap aimlessly against the desk. I’ve read the same line three times, but it doesn’t matter. The numbers and charts are just noise now, background static to the thoughts crashing around in my head. The morning’s already been long, but it feels like it’s dragging, each minute stretching into the next. I’m not sure if it’s the exhaustion, the lack of sleep, or the weight of everything else hanging over me, but I can’t focus. It’s like I’m moving through molasses, every task an effort.Elijah’s texts are still open, sitting like a weight on my screen, a constant reminder of everything I don’t want to deal with. The bouquet of roses he sent sits there too, just beneath his messages, their vibrant colors mocking me. I can practically smell them—a sharp, sweet scent that does nothing but stir up emotions I’m not ready to face. His messages are still waiting for a response, but I don’t know what to say. I’m n

NinaI sit down at the breakfast table, my eyes flicking around at the empty seats, the lingering heaviness from last night still hanging in the air. My family is here, but it feels like something’s missing. The house is quieter than usual, and it’s starting to feel too damn big for just us.For the first time, I really feel my mother’s absence in this table.Callie’s at the counter, flipping through her phone, looking distracted. Lucas is half-eating a piece of toast, half-poking around with his fork. Dominic’s sitting across from me, still in his usual quiet, brooding mode.I take a sip of my coffee, my fingers trembling slightly. The doorbell rings, and I’m kind of thankful for the interruption. My stomach twists, though, as the courier comes in with another damn bouquet. I know who it’s from before they even say the name.“Elijah?” I mutter under my breath, watching as the flowers are placed in front of me. A mix of red and white roses, a card tucked into the arrangement.“Wow! Di
