Semua Bab Unmatched Wife: Not His To Claim Anymore: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Chapter 102BIANCA"There's a possibility," Rivera admitted. "Maybe twenty percent, according to the medical records Klaus obtained. The dissolution requires both parties to be conscious and in relatively stable condition for the magical severance to complete properly. If you were unconscious or heavily medicated for most of the thirty days—""Then the bond might not have broken." I finished, my voice flat."Might not have fully broken," Rivera corrected. "The paperwork is filed, the legal dissolution is complete. But the magical component—the actual mate bond—that might still be partially intact."I stood up again, this time moving to the window to stare out at the morning light.Still bonded to Matthew. After everything he'd done, after he'd tried to kill me, after I'd built an entire new life here—I might still be magically tied to the man who'd destroyed me."Is Mia here too?" I asked, not looking at Rivera."No. According to Klaus's information, Matthew came alone with Theo. No m

Chapter 104RIVERAI stood in my study, staring at reports I'd read three times without absorbing a single word, and tried not to think about the look on Bianca's face when I'd told her about Matthew.The betrayal. The hurt. The exhaustion of being lied to by yet another man who claimed to care about her.I'd had the perfect opportunity to tell her everything. About being the Alpha King, about the full extent of my deception, about every secret I'd been keeping.But I'd seen how overwhelmed she was by the Matthew revelation alone, and I'd chosen—again—to hold back the complete truth.Coward.Klaus's voice echoed in my head: *Every day you don't tell her is another day of deception she'll have to process when the truth comes out.*But Bianca had asked for space. Time to process what I'd already told her without adding more impossible revelations to the pile.So I was giving her space. Giving her time.Even though it felt like slowly dying.My phone buzzed with a message from Klaus: *Se

Chapter 106MATTHEWThe decision to return to Silver Moon territory felt both necessary and impossible. I sat in our temporary apartment at eleven PM, staring at my laptop screen and the mounting crisis reports Marcus kept sending.Three more families filed transfer requests today. Beta Adam is openly questioning your leadership. The pack is fracturing, Matthew. You need to come home.Home. The word felt hollow when I thought about the house where Bianca had died, where Mia was apparently being harassed daily, where everything reminded me of my failures.But Theo needed stability. Needed his own bed, his own toys, the familiar rhythms of his actual life rather than this temporary existence in a city where we were guests.And Dr. Fisher had offered a solution that made returning possible."We can continue Theo's therapy via video sessions," she'd explained during our meeting that afternoon. "The technology is excellent now—secure, HIPAA compliant, virtually indistinguishable from in-pe

Chapter 108MATTHEW We arrived in Silver Moon territory as the sun was setting, painting the familiar landscape in shades of amber and gold."We're home," Theo said quietly from the backseat, and I heard both relief and anxiety in his voice."We're home," I confirmed.Marcus was waiting at the pack house when we pulled up, his expression grim."Welcome back, Alpha. We have a situation that needs immediate attention.""Can it wait until tomorrow? Theo needs to get settled—""It really can't." Marcus glanced at Theo. "But maybe we discuss it after you get him to bed?"I carried our bags inside, noting immediately how different the house felt. Mia's things were gone—her decorations, her personal items, all the evidence of her extended stay had been cleared away."She moved to an apartment across town," Marcus explained, following my gaze. "Left two days ago. Said she couldn't handle the harassment anymore.""Was it bad?""Spray paint, vandalism, threatening messages. The pack is—" He st

Chapter 110BIANCA There was a particular cruelty in knowing he was close—this city, this neighborhood, maybe streets I walked daily—and doing nothing. Being nothing. Remaining a ghost because anything else was too dangerous.He'll heal, I told myself, the same thing I'd been telling myself since Rivera's confession. Children are resilient. He has his father. He has Dr. Fisher. He doesn't need to know his mother is alive; he needs to learn to live with the version of events he has.And the other part of me—the part that remembered his weight in my arms, the particular smell of his hair, the way he laughed with his whole body—that part was less convinced.I ducked into the small break room that the attending physicians had quietly claimed as their own and sat down with a cup of coffee, giving myself five minutes to be human.The conversation with Rivera this morning had been circling in my mind all shift.Not just the revelation about Matthew and Theo being in BloodMoon City. But the
