I Forgot I Loved You Alpha (Ellie and Nolan) novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52

Nolan POV

“I still don’t understand why I can’t go with you,” Felicity said with an exaggerated pout.

“Yes, you do,” I replied coldly.

Felicity crossed her arms and sighed. “Fine. I’ll go by myself-just promise you won’t ignore me all night.”

“You know I won’t.”

We were preparing to leave the pack house for a small party I was hosting. The attendees would be high-ranking members of our pack and others. For the sake of appearances, I had to arrive with Ellie, and Felicity knew it.

“We still have the Alpha of the Moonstone pack staying with us. You need to be on your best behavior,” I reminded Felicity again.

“They’ve been here for so long,” she said with a sigh. “I’m so sick of not being able to touch you when I want to.”

I raised an eyebrow at her statement. Her casual attitude around me was part of what had caused this issue. After her little stunt during her interview, the scrutiny on myself and Ellie had only gotten worse.

Rumors about tension in our marriage were growing. As careless as Felicity was about showing off our

relationship, she had always been mindful of who was around when she behaved that way. Only our closest friends and associates witnessed the way she would cling to me. The pack at large didn’t know there was anything amiss with my marriage.

But they knew now, thanks to her stunt.

So we had to be more careful. I knew that she understood that, which only made her whining now all the more annoying to me.

“And they’ll be here for a few more months,” I informed her. “Until the deal is finalized.”

“Months?” she groaned. “Is it really going to be that long?”

“Three months,” I confirmed. “And then all of this will be behind us.”

“Well, at least it’ll finally be over,” she said. “All of it, right? You’ll finally divorce Ellie?”

“Yes. My deal with Ellie will be over,” I confirmed. “Once the deal with the Moonstone pack is finalized, they’ll return home and I’ll get divorced.”

Saying the words out loud brought a smile to Felicity’s face but the feeling it stirred in my chest was something far less certain.

My deal with Ellie was crystal clear. There would be no reason not to go through with the divorce. But I no longer felt relieved by the idea.

It was too late to back out now, though. And it wasn’t as though I wanted to keep Ellie around for any emotional reason. I just couldn’t quite put my finger on why the idea was suddenly bothering me,

So I did my best to put it out of my mind.

It probably had something to do with my suspicions about assian’s intentions toward Ellie. It wasn’t that I was jealous that another man was interested in her. But it was disrespectful for him to behave the way he did about another Alpha’s wife-especially while he was staying under my roof.

That’s all it was.

Having the Moonstone pack staying with us had been far more awkward than I’d anticipated. I was doing my best to hide the tension between Ellie and me, but I was sure Cassian could see the cracks in our act.

He always seemed to be watching her. Looking for any excuse to be near her.
