Semua Bab Alpha, it's Time for Divorce: Bab 11 - Bab 20

“What are you doing?” Kian stood at my doorway as I laid out a thick duvet on the ground.“What does it look like I’m doing?” I asked in return, stuffing a yawn.The last forty-eight hours had been mentally challenging for me. I just wanted to go to bed but even so, I knew I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep with ease. Not while knowing that Aaron was in the cold and dark dungeons because of me. Sleeping felt like a luxury that I did not deserve but unfortunately, my body couldn’t keep up with my mental state.“Come to bed,” he said.“I don’t have a bed, do I?” I laid down on the thick duvet.It was akin to sleeping on the floor but until I could divorce this man and escape his clutches, I would have to make do for now.“You threw out my bed.”“Natalie, stop being so stubborn. Come to bed.” Frustration leaked from his words.If he was frustrated because I wasn’t going to act like he wanted, then he could only imagine how I felt. As I turned my back on him, my heart hurt. The floor was co

“Aaron, I’m so sorry.” Tears filled my eyes upon seeing him despite how much – better he looked compared to what I had expected.I had thought Kian would do something dastardly to him in the dungeons but asides from the fact that he was still wearing the clothes he wore to see me two days ago, he didn’t look any different from usual.“What are you sorry about?” He still had a playful smile on his lips. “Don’t tell me you’ve been beating yourself for the Alpha’s poor choices?”“It’s my fault you’re in here,” I insisted.“It’s not,” he laughed. “I knew what I was getting myself into when I decided to help you with your divorce.”At the mention of the word divorce, all the warriors behind me acted as if they had heard something impossible. They were of no relevance to this conversation so I ignored their gasps and sudden whispers.“I’ll get you out of here, I promise.” I didn’t know how but I would try my darn best to make sure he got out of here.“It’s quite alright,” he assured me. “It

I was nervous. It didn’t make sense to me since I already let go of all my attachment to Kian and his pack but I was still nervous. I couldn’t get my nervous system to understand that none of this mattered. I’d be leaving anyway so who cared if I made a fool of myself or not?“The Alpha and his Luna have arrived.” There was a loud announcement as we entered the hall.I was almost blinded by the glitz and glamour of the place. The decorations shone, the floors sparkled and the people were dressed to outshine each other. A grander display of wealth, I had never seen.Women had heavy stones hanging on their necks and ears, most of which I couldn’t even name. They wore makeup done to perfection and purses that cost more than the little house I bought in the small pack I planned to retire to.It was obvious from the door that I came underdressed. Painfully so.Kian was right. A lot of first impressions were being formed about me and from the looks I got, not many thought I was worth breath

KIAN’S POV CONTD.There were two ways to sever a bond like ours. If we stayed away from each other for long enough, the bond would naturally weaken and fade away. Natalie, once her mind was set on something, would never change her mind until the end. Since I would not divorce her, her next plan would surely be to run away and hide.I could block off all her paths, put a hundred warriors on her, but she wasn’t a doll. Stupid as she was, she had quite a head on her, and my instincts told me that one way or another, whether tomorrow or next year, she’d find a way to escape.Although she believed her parents had died according to the goddess’ will, both her parents had been killed and their murderers were still out there, bidding their time to get their hands on her. That’s why she could never leave my side. Not until I annihilated those bastards.It’s the reason I resisted taking her in as my Luna. As a Zephyr, there would always be targets on her back because of that name. Those who opp

The days were getting hotter. I felt like I was going insane because of the heat. My skin itched and I had to change my clothes often with how much sweat I suddenly began to produce but everyone else seemed to be fine. More than fine, everyone else seemed to be in a good mood even.It was on one of those days when I was wondering if the air conditioning in this damn house I was trapped in had broken when I received a message from a buyer. It turned out that the Grey Wolves had gotten a new investor and all the houses around my small little house which I had planned to escape to had been bought. Now, the investors also wanted to buy my house.“Hello?” I called the number that had been attached to the mail.I had a sinking suspicion that all this was a scam and that someone was playing with me, but with nothing to look forward to in the house that Kian had trapped me in, I decided to see what was going on. It wouldn’t hurt to safeguard my property. Even though I couldn’t leave Kian just
