Chapter 201

Ava's POVI stared at him in disbelief.At times, I genuinely thought Victor lacked the ability to understand basic emotions.“All I’m asking for is a divorce,” I said slowly. “That’s it.”From the very beginning, I had been clear.I didn’t want his money, I didn’t even want his apology.I just wanted out.But Victor clung to me like the mate bond itself would snap if he loosened his grip for even a second.My wolf bared her teeth inside me.“Is there someone else?” Victor suddenly asked.I blinked at him. For several long seconds, I simply stared.Then I laughed. The sound was hollow, almost hysterical.Maybe because he had betrayed me so easily, he assumed everyone else was capable of the same thing.“Let’s just say there is,” I said coldly. “So please, for the Moon Goddess’ sake, let me go.”Victor’s eyes darkened dangerously.“Who is he?” he asked quietly.I rolled my eyes so hard it hurt. Why were we still talking about this?I was exhausted. Exhausted from arguing, exhausted fro

Chapter 202

Ava's POVJust moments ago, I had been arguing with Victor. Now it felt like the entire world had tilted sideways.The elevator doors slid open. I rushed inside blindly, and just as it was about to close, Victor stopped it with his foot and casually got inside.My mood instantly worsened.“Where are you going?” Victor asked quietly behind me.I ignored him and jabbed the button to the first floor repeatedly.My wolf was frantic with worry for Nora, making my entire body tremble. I chewed nervously on my nails while my legs shook beneath me.The elevator finally reached the first floor.The doors opened. I rushed forward too quickly, and my weak legs immediately buckled beneath me.A startled gasp escaped me, then strong arms caught me from behind.Victor’s grip tightened around my waist automatically, steadying me before I hit the ground.His brows furrowed deeply as he noticed how cold I was. I was practically shaking.“What happened?” he asked sharply.“Nora was in a car crash,” I w

Chapter 203

Ava's POVMy mind immediately flashed back to the robbery incident from before.The timing... the danger, the strange feeling I had then that something wasn’t right.My wolf growled uneasily. These incidents couldn’t just be coincidence.“Have you offended anyone recently?” I asked. “Maybe through one of your cases?”Nora shook her head. “Not really. Divorce cases can get ugly sometimes, but never like this.”I bit my lip hard. Then suddenly, a thought exploded in my head.I turned sharply toward the tall figure standing silently behind me.My eyes narrowed instantly.“Was it you?”Victor blinked, genuinely caught off guard. “What?”I stormed toward him and grabbed the front of his shirt before he could react. “Did you send someone after Nora?” I hissed angrily.My wolf bared her teeth viciously, my fangs protruding. “Is this because she exposed your affair with Laura in front of Grandma?”Victor stared down at me for a long moment before sighing heavily. The scent of frustration roll

Chapter 204

Ava's POVThere was absolute silence. I blinked, trying to comprehend what I had just heard.“Huh?”For a second, I genuinely thought I’d misheard him. “Victor...” I stared at him like he’d lost his mind. “What did you just say?”His expression didn’t change. “Is he your fiancé?” Victor repeated evenly.Everyone froze. Even Anderson looked momentarily stunned.Then my temper exploded. I slapped Victor’s arm away violently.“Have you completely lost your mind?!” I snapped.My wolf snarled furiously beneath my skin.“Did your brain rot overnight? Or did too much fresh air finally destroy your sanity?”Nora coughed into her blanket to hide her laughter. Ignoring Victor completely, I turned hurriedly toward Anderson with burning embarrassment.“Sorry, Mr. Shelton,” I said awkwardly. “Please ignore him. He’s clearly insane.”Because honestly? Victor had completely lost it today.At Smith Corporation, he sat there in his seat and watched while everyone humiliated me publicly.Then he barged

Chapter 205

Victor's POVThe moment I saw the image, my breathing stopped.It was a picture of Ava, lying unconscious on a hospital bed.Her clothes were soaked in blood. Bandages were wrapped around her body. And the wound across her chest...Moon Goddess.My wolf let out a horrified growl.Pain twisted sharply through my chest so violently I almost staggered.How badly had she been hurt? How close had she come to dying?I stared at the photograph, unable to look away.My pulse became uneven.And suddenly, memories crashed into me all at once.Ava’s pale face recently. The exhaustion in her scent, the weakness in her movements, the way she’d looked at me with complete disappointment.I had not made anything of them, but it all made sense now.Guilt spread through me like poison. Reuben pushed my shoulder sharply, forcing me out of my thoughts.“Now you see I wasn’t lying,” he said coldly.I could barely hear him over the pounding in my ears.“Victor,” Reuben continued, “if you truly care about A

Chapter 206

Anderson's POVI watched Victor follow Ava out of the room. The door closed behind them softly.Silence immediately settled over the ward.Nora frowned. Reuben frowned harder.And I... I stood there quietly, staring at the spot where Ava had disappeared.My wolf shifted restlessly beneath my skin.Something felt wrong, not just about tonight.About everything.For five years, I had believed I understood exactly who Ava was. A liar. A manipulative wolf and the woman responsible for Juliet’s death.But lately... every certainty I once had was beginning to crack apart.Reuben was the first to move. He broke the silence with a sigh before finding a nurse and arranging for Nora to be transferred to one of the VIP recovery suites upstairs.Even injured, Nora still argued with him the entire time. Normally, I would’ve found it amusing.But tonight, I barely heard her.After giving the nurses a few instructions, Reuben finally headed downstairs.I was already waiting near the entrance for him

Chapter 207

Victor's POVI tailed Ava all the way out of the hospital, my wolf growing more restless with every step she took away from me.She's furious, my wolf muttered inside my head, his deep growl scraping against my skull.I clenched my jaw.I followed her into the underground parking lot. Every instinct in me wanted to drag her into my arms and calm her down.Instead, the moment she reached her car, I grabbed her wrist firmly.Her pulse jumped violently beneath my fingers."Ava, you know Laura couldn't have meant those words the way you're taking them," I said.Ava didn't even bother arguing. Her eyes flashed with irritation as she pulled out her phone and pressed play.Laura's voice flowed through the speaker in a sickeningly sweet tone.Ava looked up at me coldly. "Clear enough for you?"I exhaled slowly. "She didn't mean it like that. You're reading too much into it."The second the words left my mouth, I knew I'd made a mistake.Her scent sharpened instantly, anger flooding the air so

Chapter 208

Ava's POVVictor glanced up briefly before nodding. "Yeah. It's gone."My eyes drifted toward the bedside table.Then suddenly, a memory surfaced. "Your Grandma mentioned giving it to Miriam. Are you sure you got it from her?""Yes, I did," he replied while continuing to search lazily through the drawer. "I kept them here before I traveled."Watching him move at the pace of a dying wolf irritated me even more."If you can't find it, then forget it," I snapped. "Let's go to the grand council. Lydia made inquiries, we can get a copy of it from the council's registrar."At that, he finally stopped searching and shut the drawer. "Okay."After leaving Smith Villa, I pressed myself against the farthest side of the car possible, clutching the thermos of soup tightly against my chest.I refused to look at him. The rich aroma filled the car, but all I could think about was ending this miserable marriage as quickly as possible.Halfway through the drive, Victor's phone rang.He answered calmly.

Chapter 209

Ava's POVI turned sharply to see who it was. It was Victor."Get in the car," he ordered.Before I could resist, he shoved me back inside."Victor!"Ignoring my glare, he leaned over me to fasten my seatbelt."It's hard to get a cab at this hour," he said calmly.I frowned at him. "What are you trying to do now?"He lifted his eyes toward me. Those dark, unreadable eyes that I had spent fifteen years trying to understand."Weren't you the one insisting on going to court for the divorce?"I blinked. "You're not going to Laura?""I am not going."He closed the passenger door and walked around the front of the car. A moment later, he slid back into the driver's seat."The divorce comes first."I froze. For the first time ever, he hadn't pushed me aside for Laura. Thankfully, after tonight, there would be nothing left between us.No mate bond, no marriage.And the cruelest part?But then again, even this choice was still ultimately for Laura's sake, because once we divorced, he could fin

Chapter 210

Ava's POVNora's gaze didn’t waver. “He’s developed feelings for you.”“Ahem!” I choked so violently on air I grabbed the water glass and drank half of it in one go.“What nonsense are you talking about?” I wiped my mouth sharply. “Him? Feelings for me? Impossible.”My wolf barked a short laugh inside me.Impossible, she echoed, but not convincingly.I dismissed it immediately.“Why not?” Nora continued calmly. “You’re not someone just anyone can ignore. Laura doesn’t even come close to you.”I scoffed too quickly. “That’s ridiculous.”She finished the last of her soup like she was discussing pack territory politics.“Before, he didn’t know you well,” she said lazily. “He only heard Laura’s version of you. Naturally, he believed her.”My grip tightened slightly on the cup.“But now?” Nora continued. “He’s seen you and spent time with you.”My wolf shifted again, restless.“Feelings don’t just appear like that,” I muttered.“They do for bonded mates,” she replied simply. “They sometime
