Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150

Hebert’s brows furrowed slightly; he was about to speak, but Ashley raised her hand gently to stop him.

“It’s okay, Hebert,” Ashley said calmly, her eyes steady on me. “Alright, we can talk.

Hebert gave me a long, calculating look before stepping back politely, giving us the space.

We walked in silence to the quiet steps at the side of the council hall and sat down.

“You look beautiful today, Ashley,” I said bitterly, my gaze lingering on her delicate profile as if trying to memorize eve

Ashley smiled faintly, but there was something distant in that expression-cold, unreachable. “Thanks. That’s rare. In years, I barely ever heard anything positive from you about me.”

Her words cut deep, like a dull, rusted blade tearing through my chest without mercy.

“I’m sorry, Ashley!” I said desperately, my voice shaking with raw regret. “I swear, you’ve always been the most incredit person to me! I was just so stupid back then-I didn’t know how to show my true feelings! I promise, I’ll never mess up li again!”

I dropped my head, pressing my hands against my face as if trying to hide the ugly, weak side of me that I had just laid bar her to see.

“These past few weeks, they’ve forced me to really face who I am,” I admitted, my voice cracking under the weight of my guilt. “Yeah, I’m an Alpha, but all that confidence I’ve tried to show? It’s a lie. I was so obsessed with being perfect, with m sure no one was ever disappointed in me, with keeping up this image. I never had the guts to let anyone see the cracks underneath.”

Lifting my head, I met her gaze, the intensity in her clear eyes piercing right through me. Tears stung my own eyes, threate to spill. “That’s why I clung to Silvia, why I treated you… so horribly. I was scared-scared of losing control with you. So, I p myself up, acted all tough, as if I had everything under control. But the truth is, Ashley, I’m just a pathetic fool. And I’m so sc For everything.”

Ashley stood there, listening with an unreadable expression/She didn’t lash out; she didn’t laugh at me. Those beautiful eyes hers just held a quiet peace.

“I’m glad you’ve come to understand yourself, Brian,” she said softly, offering me a faint, calm smile that felt like both an acknowledgment and a goodbye.

That smile was like a shot of adrenaline, lighting up a spark of hope deep inside me.

“So…” I leaned forward eagerly, my eyes fixed on her, desperate. “Could you give me one last chance? I swear, I’ll spend my

entire life making it up to you.”

But Ashley shook her head, firm and unwavering

“Brian, I did love you once,” she said, her voice calm but cutting in its finality. “I thought you were my one salvation. But after everything the hurt, the betrayal I don’t love you anymore.”

She stood up slowly, towering over me like a stranger passing by, her eyes distant.

“Some things, once lost, are gone for good,” she said, her tone steady, delivering her words like a verdict “I’m glad to see you growing really, I am. But that’s all there is. We can never go back.

Crash!

The despair hit me like a thunderclap, shattering me from the inside out. My well screamed in agony, clawing and thrashing within me, pounding against my ribs like it was trying to escape. The pain was so intense it felt like I might collapse on the spot

was drowning in it.
