Jealousy Alpha's Regret novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11

“What are you still doing here?” he slurred, leaning against the doorframe,

I instinctively pulled the covers higher. “This is my room.”

He stepped closer, and I shuffled back against the headboard. His lips curled into a cruel smile.

“Don’t act so high and mighty,” he sneered. “You’re just a Stone.”

“Get out,‘ I said, trying to keep my voice steady.

“No, you get out. He pointed toward the door. “This is my room.”

‘It’s my room, too,” I reminded him. “And I’m still your mate for the next twenty–seven days, whether you like it or not.”

Something flickered in his eyes–anger, maybe frustration. He ran a hand through his hair, messing it up further.

“Catherine called,” I said before I could stop myself. “She wants you to come to the Stone family gathering tomorrow night.”

He stared at me for a long moment, then barked out a laugh. “Finally showing your true colors, aren’t you? All that talk about divorce, yet here

you are, begging me to play husband at your family event.”

“I’m not begging,” I said evenly. “I’m asking you to come with me to tell them clearly that our marriage is over. That’s all.”

“If that’s what you want, fine.” He moved closer, his gaze dropping to my thin silk nightgown. “But everything has a price.”

My breath caught as he sat on the edge of my bed, his hand reaching for the strap of my nightgown. I caught his wrist before he could touch

“Mr. Grey,” I said coolly, “we’re in the Cooling Period. I’m not in the mood to play your games.”

His expression darkened. “You think you’re something special? You’re nothing.”

He stood abruptly, towering over me. For a moment, I thought he might say something else, do something else. Instead, he turned and stormed out, slamming the door so hard the walls shook.

I fell back against my pillows, exhaling the breath I’d been holding. Twenty–seven more days. Just twenty–seven more days until I was free.

The following evening, Catherine paced the Stone family living room, stopping occasionally to admire her freshly manicured nails. Kim lounged on the sofa, scrolling through her phone with a bored expression.

Do you think she’s actually coming?” Kim asked, not looking up. “Maybe Sebastien refused to come, so she’s not showing up either. I mean, why would the Grey heir lower himself to visit our pathetic pack?”

‘She’ll come,” Catherine said confidently. “She knows what’s at stake for our family.”

I pushed open the door, having heard their conversation from the hallway. I’m here.”

Catherine’s face fell when she saw I was alone. “Where’s Sebastien? The Gry family’s attitude toward us is critical right now.

He had urgent business at the company, I lied smoothly. But he sent a gift to apologize for his absence. In truth, Sebastien hadn’t

mentioned the gathering again, but the lie was close enough to what might have happened if he cared at all.

I placed an expensive–looking gift box on the coffee table. Catherine’s eyes lit up as she opened it, revealing a platinum necklace.

“This is…” she breathed, lifting it reverently.

“He still cares about you,” Catherine said, misreading my expression. “You two grew up on the same territory. That bond doesn’t just disappear.”

Kim examined the necklace enviously while Catherine continued, “You should be seen with him more in the wolf community. It would help
