Ava's POV

My throat tightened around our pup’s name, but I forced the words out.

“You should be pleased,” I finished softly. “Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?”

Victor’s gaze dropped to the papers.

Five years ago, I would have stood behind him with lowered eyes, the obedient girl who followed wherever her Alpha led.

Prison had burned that girl away. I stood straight now. Unbowed, claiming my right to leave.

But Victor didn’t reach for the papers.

Instead, his expression hardened, his eyes gl

  • The Alpha's Scorned Bride   Chapter 297

    Ava's POVMy wolf immediately rejected the thought, yet the question lingered.That afternoon, I sat cross-legged on the bed, hugging my knees and swinging my feet. The moment Victor entered the room, I deliberately turned my head away.I wasn't interested in looking at him, or at least, that's what my act required. He walked over carrying a glass of water and several pills."Here." His voice was gentle. "Take your medicine."I ignored him. He sat beside me.Moon Goddess, the man was persistent."Come on." His tone softened further. "Be a good girl. This will help you feel better."I immediately glared at him, my eyes turning red. "I'm not taking it! You want to poison me and make me mad..." My voice trembled. "Just like Laura did at that bad place!"Victor blinked, briefly confused by what I had just done. I had clearly given him a clue regarding who the mastermind behind the whole thing was, but of course, he didn't ta

  • The Alpha's Scorned Bride   Chapter 296

    Victor's POVSilence filled the room as a terrible realization slowly formed.Reuben continued quietly. "The real culprit."A growl rumbled deep inside my chest, my wolf's eyes flashing red beneath my skin. He had a point. Anyone willing to poison my mate and drive her insane was definitely doing it for a purpose. Could it really be the Stone family?Reuben zipped his bag closed. "They won't stop unless they're exposed."I ran a hand through my hair in frustration but didn't speak.Reuben looked at me calmly. His gaze was sharp, almost knowing. "Seeing you react like this, it means you know I am right. It also proves that Ava was really taking the blame for someone."The room suddenly fell silent, and my heartbeat stumbled. Only then did I realize what I had just revealed without even speaking. "I didn't say anything, Reuben. Don't make baseless conclusions."A look of regret crossed his face. "Anderson tried to tell me several

    Victor's POVA cold feeling settled in my chest. I lowered my eyes to the pills, then looked back at Ava.My wolf growled beneath my skin.Could it be? Could she truly have been drugged into this state? Who dared do this to my mate?My gaze landed on the trembling nurse. "Under whose instructions are you administering these drugs to my mate?""A-Alpha... it is the dean, Mr. Vincent Sivan.""Bring him here, now!"She nearly stumbled backward. "M-Mr. Vincent Sivan is away on a business trip."A business trip? Right now? What perfect timing.Even without proof, my instincts told me Vincent was avoiding responsibility, and whoever was behind this had likely erased every trail long before I arrived. The scent of fear pouring from the nurse confirmed it.Whoever this Vincent was couldn't have done it without someone's instructions. Could this be Mr. Magnus' doing?I slowly set the tray down. There was no point wa

  • The Alpha's Scorned Bride   Chapter 294

    Victor's POVThe moment I arrived at the hospital to see Ava, something felt wrong. My wolf stirred uneasily beneath my skin as I walked through the corridor toward her room.When I reached it, it was empty.Ava's scent lingered faintly in the air, but she wasn't there.I immediately turned to the nearest nurse. "Where is my wife?"The nurse flinched at my tone. "M-Mrs. Smith was discharged earlier today. Her father and brother took her home. They said she would recover better with family."My entire body went rigid. Nobody had informed me, not a single call, not a single message.I immediately pulled out my phone and dialed Magnus Stone.The call connected after a few rings. "Alpha Victor?""Where is my wife?"Silence stretched between us, then Magnus cleared his throat. "I took Ava home."My jaw tightened."You took my mate out of the hospital without informing me?""I apologize. Everything ha

    Anderson’s POVClaudia stood frozen in the doorway. Her eyes were wide. Her face had gone completely pale.The shattered bowl lay at her feet. For several long seconds, nobody spoke.Then her trembling voice broke the silence."An... Anderson..." Her gaze locked onto me. "What did you just say?"Reuben visibly panicked and immediately spoke."Nothing. You misunderstood." He forced out an awkward laugh. "He was just saying he likes what I brought him to eat...""What are you doing here?" I cut him off, my patience already stretched thin.I pressed the intercom and called my secretary to clean up the mess before looking directly at Claudia."You shouldn't be here." My voice was firm. "Go home."But she wasn't listening. Her eyes remained fixed on me."Anderson." Tears began gathering in them. "Did I hear you correctly?"She crossed the room and grabbed my arm."You said you like that bitch

    Anderson's POVThe pain in my chest kept growing.It felt as though invisible claws were digging into my heart, twisting deeper with every passing second.My wolf was restless, pacing endlessly beneath my skin. The agitation rolling through our bond was so intense that I could barely breathe.Eventually, the ache became unbearable.I turned my head away from Reuben's phone.I couldn't look at the picture anymore. I couldn't bear seeing Ava curled up alone in that psychiatric facility.The image had branded itself into my mind.Her soaked clothes, her frightened eyes, and the defeated look on her face.Reuben finally put his phone away.His expression was grim. "Who would've thought Laura could be this cold?" His voice carried both disbelief and disappointment. "We've known her for over a decade."He shook his head. "I never saw this side of her." His eyes darkened. "Do you think she's always been this good
