Chapter 25

Alexander tilted his head slightly, his voice low and calm, so that only | could hear.

“Did | make things worse by stepping in?” he asked. “I should've asked before speaking up, especially when they

were questioning your... innocence.”

The word lingered between us.

| looked up at him-at his cool, unreadable face, the sharp lines of his jaw, the quiet strength in his eyes. A man

like him didn’t have to apologize. And yet, here he was, worried that he might've causedtrouble.

My heart stuttered for half a beat.

“No, Alpha Alexander,” | said quietly, steadying my voice. “I should be the one apologizing. I've dragged you into

something messy.”

“You didn’t drag me,” he replied, his eyes not leaving mine. “But if it would help, | can make it clearer to them.”

| hesitated for only a second. He was already standing beside me. Saying no now would make it look like I didn’t

trust him. Worse, it would seem ungrateful. And | wasn't.

“... Yes,” | said softly. “Thank you.”

He stepped forward, unfazed by the hundreds of eyes that now stared at him with varying degrees of awe and

intimi- dation. Chole’s face was frozen, her lips parted in shock. Even Amelia, for once, had nothing to say.

Alexander faced the crowd, composed as ever.

“I was at the Ashmoon Hotel last night,” he said evenly. “Wrapping up a meeting with a client. As | was heading

out, | saw this woman-" he nodded atwithout hesitation, “-stumbling in the hallway, clearly drugged. A man

was dragging her. Something didn’t sit right. | asked the staff to look into it immediately.”

He paused. No theatrics. Just facts.

“They intervened in time,” he continued, “and were able to stop what could’ve been a serious assault. She was

un- harmed. | only stayed long enough to ensure her safety and got her admitted to a private hospital.”

Every word from him struck like iron on stone-solid, undeniable.

| stood beside him, expression calm but heart rattling in my chest. How had he even walked into this mess? What

cos- mic joke had landed him at that hotel, at that moment?

Was | so pitiful now that even someone like Alexander Green had to step in?

| glanced sideways at him. He didn’t flinch under the weight of the moment. He looked like he belonged there-

like he was used to storms and wasn’t afraid to stand in the eye of one.

The entire ballroom remained still. No one dared question him. Not even the Windsors. Bella yanked Chole back

when she tried to open her mouth again, whispering something harsh in her ear.

Heads nodded slowly around us. It didn’t matter what anyone had thought earlier. Even if a video had existed-of

something far worse-Alexander’s word would have buried it. And everyone in this room knew that disagreeing

with him was choosing a losing war.

And then Ethan-of all people-decided to move.

He stepped up behindand placed his hand on my shoulder like we were sloving couple in this chaos.

“Thank you, Alpha Alexander,” he said. “For saving my wife.”

My wife.

My entire body tensed.

Before Alexander could respond, | turned toward Ethan.

And | shoved his hand off.

Not harshly. Just firmly. Coldly.

“I don’t need your gratitude,” | said without looking at him.

He froze, caught off-guard.

| didn’t stop.

“You have no right to thank Alexander,” | went on, my voice sharp and unwavering. “And since we're talking

about rights-letremind you I'm serious about the divorce. You signed the papers.”

His brows drew together. “What?”

“You signed them,” | repeated. “The deadline for your decision is tomorrow. Noon. After that, it’s final.”

Ethan stared atlike I'd stabbed him. As if he genuinely couldn't believe | would go through with it. Maybe he

thought I'd beg to stay. Maybe he thought I still loved him enough to crawl back and pretend none of this

happened.

He didn’t realize something had already died inside me.

“You... you wouldn't,” he muttered. “You lovedtoo much-"

“I did.” I cut him off. “And you destroyed it. Now don’t worry about our divorce. Worry about yourmistressand

your- motherinstead.”

| turned slightly, catching the wall clock near the ballroom entrance.

“The police will be here soon.”

His mouth parted. “Police?”

“Of course | did,” | said with a smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “And by the way, you're not off the hook either.

Chole said last night thatyouwere involved in what happened to me.”

He stumbled back a step. “You think I'd do that to you?”

| didn’t answer. | just looked at him. Long enough for the silence to say everything.

“You think I'd ever hurt you?” he asked, voice cracking. “Olivia, | would never-"

| laughed. Just once. A dry, bitter sound that scraped my throat.

“Never hurt me?” | repeated. “You cheated onformonths, Ethan. Do you think | just found out?”

His lips parted.

“I knew,” | whispered. “Every date. Every hotel. Every lie you told. | knew all of it. | watched it happen while pre-

tending not to care. Do you know what that feels like?”

He didn’t speak.

“It feels like a knife that never stops twisting in your chest. Like you're dying every day but you don’t get the

mercy of actually dying. Just... rotting while the person you love makes a fool of you in silence.”

His face twisted in pain.

“What did | do wrong?” | asked softly. “Was it because | was too loyal? Too trusting? Or just... too convenient?”

He reached out, but | stepped back. Right then, the double doors swung open.

A team of uniformed werewolf officers walked in.

They moved quickly, presenting

| knew the truth: Ethan wasn’t involved in the attack. Not directly. It had been Amelia and Chole who conspired

to get my signature.

But | hadn’t mentioned that to the police.

He deserved to suffer a little as well.

That's when | heard it-footsteps approaching on the grass.

And a moment later, a scent drifted into the air.

Warm. Clean. Deep and grounding, like freshly split cedar and smoke kissed by pine. It curled aroundgently,

calming.
