Two Months Later... RHEA’S POV “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!” Roxy’s voice rang out like a siren as she burst into the living room. I ignored her, focusing instead on setting the last plate on the table for dinner. It was a small victory that she’d come home just in time. The last thing I needed was for her to wake me later, whining about where to find things in the kitchen. I had been feeling off lately—tired all the time, my energy levels drained to nothing. Even getting out of bed felt like a monumental task. Mom, of course, had written it off as me being lazy, grumbling her usual complaints. Two months had passed since I accepted Miles’ rejection, and I had been trying to move on. But moving on was easier said than done, especially with Roxy parading her relationship with him around like a badge of honor. It was like she thrived on my misery, flaunting what I could never have. No matter how much I pretended to be fine, seeing them together was a knife twisting in a wound that refused t

Two Years Later... RHEA’S POV I hummed softly as Rose helped me set the dining table. Today marked two years of marriage with Miles, and I couldn’t help but feel like a newlywed all over again.

It was like fate wanted us together anyway. But unfortunately, I lost that baby a week after we got married. I never got over it. The pack had been less forgiving. Whispers and side-eyes followed me everywhere aft

RHEA’S POV "I want a divorce," Miles said coldly the moment we stepped into our bedroom. The words hit me like a punch to the gut, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. "What?" His glare was icy and unrelenting. "You heard me, Rhea. The thread that bound us is gone. We lost the baby, and there’s no reason to stay married anymore. It’s been nothing but problems since the day we said ‘I do.’" Tears welled up in my eyes, but I refused to let them spill just yet. "Is this because of her?" My voice cracked, betraying my resolve. He let out a bitter laugh, moving towards the closet unbuttoning his shirt. "This has nothing to do with her or anyone else. This marriage was forced on me. I wasn’t ready for it, and all you ever do is nag, nag, and nag." I followed him to the closet, my voice trembling as I tried to reason with him. "Miles, I only wanted us to work. I just wanted you to try, to put in some effort, to give us a chance." He turned, exasperation etched across his face as
