Not with the ridiculous farce they expected me to play out . Emmas voice suddenly blared through our telepathic connection , throwing my inner turmoil into overdrive . Scarlett Her tone was desperate , urgent , like she couldnt get the words out quickly enough . What ? I asked silently , my voice steady despite the instinctive tightening of my chest . Something was wrong it was all over her thoughts , leaking into mine I was just at the sanitarium , she said , pushing the words into my mind . I saw Alexander . He was there … with Grace My breath caught . Heat rushed to my face , and my shoulders stiffened . Alexander ? With Grace ? At the sanitarium ? I clenched my fists , nails biting into my palms . My wolf , Cora , stirred , prickling with unease . Emma hesitated , but I could feel her persistence , her determination to tell me the truth no matter how much it might hurt . Scarlett Grace is pregnant . With his child Her words detonated in my mind . A wave of betrayal and fury blasted through me , shaking the foundation of everything I had been bottling up inside . The anger was raw , scorching , and unrelenting . It brimmed so fast , so fully , that the edges of my vision darkened for a moment . Are you sure ? I demanded , gripping the edge of the mirrored vanity as if it could steady the chaos building inside me . by it if I wasnt . Emmas thoughts were both steady and apologetic . She knew what this would do to me . I wouldnt say it i The saleswoman adjusting my hair turned to me with a wide , oblivious smile . Miss Winters , would you like me to tighten the robe a bit more ? It enhance your- Leave My voice came out cold and sharp , devoid of hesitation . The saleswoman blinked , her hands dropping to her sides . said , leave ! I snapped , my tone fierce , brooking no argument . She flinched , her pleasant demeanor giving way to fear . Without another word , she scampered out of the room , the sound of the door clicking shut behind her , I didnt even spare her a second glance . My focus had zeroed entirely on the cruel absurdity of this day , of my engagement to Alexander a man who had betrayed me in the worst way possible . Pregnant , The words echoed in my head , slicing through me like jagged blades . I had spent years swallowing his indifference , years pretending that this bond a political tie by force mattered in some small way . But this ? There was no pretending anymore . My hands moved before my thoughts could catch up . I tore at the robe with a force that surprised even me . The soft fabric ripped apart in my hands . beads and gems scattering to the ground . The intricate ceremonial dress fell in a heap at my feet , nothing more than a discarded symbol of this false union . I stepped over it and grabbed my cost , Enough . Enough of this humiliation . Enough of Alexander . Enough of it all The hallway leading to his office was lined with staff pretending not to notice me . Their eyes darted away as I passed , but I could feel their whispers , their curiosity , followed by their pity . It made my stomach churn His office door loomed ahead , carved and polished to perfection just another thing he felt he had to control . My heels clicked against the floor with Chapter 1 : Pregnant each step , a steady rhythm that drowned out the whispering voices around me . I didnt knock . I didnt care . I pushed the door open with enough force to make the hinges groan . Alexander was there , lounging arrogantly in his chair like a king surveying his kingdom . His short dark hair glistened under the light . His gray eyes flicked up to meet mine with a casualness that made my blood boil . He held a stack of papers in one hand , a cigarette in the other . Youre late , he said , his tone lazy and dismissive . The smell of smoke hit me immediately , sharp and invasive . He knew I despised cigarettes , yet here he was , lighting one deliberately even as he spoke to me . My wolf growled low in my chest , just loud enough for me to feel it vibrate through my ribcage . Alexander , I said icily , my voice cutting through the smoke filled air like a whip . Would you care to explain why I had to learn from a third party that Grace is carrying your child ? His fingers stopped mid motion . For the barest moment , a flicker of annoyance flashed across his face , but it was quickly replaced by his usual well practiced smirk . Grace has returned , he started , leaning back comfortably in his chair , exuding that infuriating confidence . Shes … ill . Silver poisoning I stared at him , unmoved . He didnt even flinch under my glace . Instead , he allowed himself the luxury of blowing out a long strand of smoke as if this situation were nothing more than a minor inconvenience . Shell need my support , he added, his voice smooth and controlled . Because of this , I believe its wise to postpone the marking ceremony . He slid a piece of paper toward me , his cigarette dangling between his fingers . The document was neatly typed , outlining the postponement of our ceremony with clinical precision . Like my life was a business transaction , Something inside me snapped . I grabbed the paper and ripped it in half . Then into quarters . The sound of tearing filled the office , the shreds of his proposal falling to the floor like ashes . His eyes widened for just a second before narrowing . Postpone ? I repeated , my voice low and steady , though the anger behind it was sharp enough to cut through stone . Theres no need . Scarlett , he started , his tone taking on that condescending edge that made my wolf bristle . Youre overreact- Lets sever the mate bond , Alexander I interrupted , my words hitting like a slap to the face . The casual , arrogant mask he maintained faltered as my declaration truly sank in I stepped closer , leveling him with a gaze full of fire and steel . Right here. Lets cut the bond . For the first time since I entered the office , Alexander looked truly caught off guard . His composed expression cracked , the weight of my words hitting him harder than even I anticipated . His wolf , Logan , prowled beneath the surface , grasping at the bond that had already begun to crumble . But didnt feel it not really . Not anymore . Without sparing him another word , I turned and slammed the door shut behind me . The bond tugged weakly at my consciousness , Logans thoughts brushing against Coras , desperate and searching . But Cora remained silent , her stance mirroring mine . We were done . The first thing I heard as I walked back into the office wing was the sound of whispers . Low but persistent , like a swarm of gnats buzzing inches from my ear . The staff didnt even have the decency to lower their voices completely . She destroyed the ceremony dress .. What does she expect after everything ? Grace is already- Serves her right . The Alpha only Their audacity send lightning shooting through my veins . Anger rolled off me as I came to a halt , my wolf pushing her dominance to the surface . The laughter stopped immediately . Every eye turned toward me , wide and full of regret My gaze zeroed in on the boldest one among them a trembling Omega barely strong enough to hold my stare . I marched toward them with slow , deliberate steps , my heels striking against the floor like thunder . Look at me , I commanded , my voice low but full of authority . The Omegas head jerked up instinctively , their fearful eyes locking with mine . Emerald power flared behind my stare as Cors and I let just a fraction of our dominance slip free . Chapter 1 Pregnant You might entertain fifth here , I hissed , my tone dripping with venom . My grip on their trembling chin was firm but not cruel . But your Alpha isnt the only one with teeth I let their chin go with a sharp flick and raised my head high , my posture screaming defiance . My heels clicked with finality as I walked out , leaving silence in my wake . They could whisper . They could pity me . But they would never break me .
