I Forgot I Loved You Alpha (Ellie and Nolan) novel Chapter 152

Nolan POV

The house was quiet. Too quiet.

I sat behind my desk, papers in neat piles I didn’t plan to read just yet. I hadn’t touched a single one since the morning, my mind elsewhere.

The usual rhythm of the pack, the meetings, the schedules—they all felt distant, irrelevant.

Cassian had checked in earlier, voice low and steady. “Ellie is fine, Nolan. She’s safe at home with the twins.”

The word “home” had been a knife in my heart, but I’d let it go. They were safe. That had been enough. I had let it rest. No pursuit. No ultimatums.

And yet the absence of her presence gnawed at me. Every hour without seeing her twisted tighter around my chest, a quiet reminder that I had lost control the moment she’d slipped through my fingers.

I had replayed that moment over and over in my mind—her sudden departure with the twins, the confusion, the chaos. And beneath it all, that realization: my own brother had helped her leave.

Lance had facilitated her escape, subtly ensuring she and the boys were safe.

Safely away from me, as if I were a monster that she needed to be protected from. And maybe I was. I felt sick when I thought of the way I’d treated her.

Like she was an inconvenience, a nuisance that only existed for me to use. I truly was a monster, wasn’t I? At least in her story…

It ate at me. Not just that Cassian and Lance had worked against me, not just that she had left. No, what was tearing at my chest was the realization that she had only agreed to come back to keep me from finding out about the boys.

I thought that she was giving me another chance. I thought that I could make up for everything. But in reality, Ellie had returned to Silver Fang only to keep me away from Moonstone. To keep me away from my sons.

I closed my eyes and felt the memory surface again. The scent of the boys, the way it had struck straight through him. The overwhelming need to protect and the way he had moved to separate them from Kieran without even thinking.

Was this normal? Did all parents feel this for their children? If they did, then how could his own parents have treated him the way that they had?
