Jealousy Alpha's Regret novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114

I deliberately let out a cold laugh, watching Iris freeze at the sound.

“Looks like I came just in time,” I said, leaning against the doorframe

with forced casualness.

Iris turned to face me, and I was surprised to see no panic in her eyes.

If anything, she looked… prepared. The realization hit me – she’d

known what Catherine was planning. This wasn’t the face of someone

caught in a trap; this was someone who had set a counter–trap.

“Divorce barely finalized and already moving on to the next one?” I

asked, my voice dripping with sarcasm. The words tasted bitter in my

mouth.

I watched Noah shift uncomfortably in Iris’s arms, a low moan

escaping his lips. The sound sent a flash of something hot and

unpleasant through my chest. Jealousy? Impossible. I didn’t get

jealous, especially not over a woman I’d agreed to divorce.

Iris didn’t respond to my taunt. Instead, she calmly finished helping

Noah drink whatever was in the cup, then carefully laid him back on

the bed. Her composure irritated me more than any defensive

response would have.

A crash echoed from downstairs, followed by raised voices. Catherine

must have realized her plan was falling apart. I listened for a

moment, assessing the situation. If Kim had been drugged somehow –

which seemed likely from her slurred speech earlier and Noah was

out of commission, that left Catherine and possibly Thomas to deal

with.

“We need to leave,” I decided, evaluating the fastest exit route.

I looked at Iris, who was now standing, smoothing down her clothes

with an air of someone completing a task. She showed no surprise at

my presence, no confusion about my intentions. It was as if she’d

expected me to show up.

“Walk,” I commanded, not bothering with explanations or

pleasantries.

To my mild surprise, Iris didn’t argue. She moved toward the door

with quiet efficiency, passing close enough that I caught her scent

again. There was something different about it, something I couldn’t

quite place. My wolf stirred uneasily.

I led the way down the stairs, keeping Iris behind me. The voices from

below grew clearer – Catherine and Kim, arguing in hushed, panicked

tones.

Chapter 114

“She must have switched the glasses… how did she know?”

“I don’t know, but we have to fix this before-”

These people would never stop coming after her, I realized. Not as

long as they saw her as a tool to secure their status.

We reached the bottom of the staircase, and Catherine’s head

snapped up, her face paling when she saw me. Kim was slumped in a

chair, looking distinctly unwell. Thomas stood nearby, confusion

evident on his face.

I let my gaze sweep over each of them, enjoying the way they shrank

back. Even in human form, my Alpha presence filled the room. I felt

my lips curl into a cold smile that contained no warmth or humor.

“The Stone family’s impressive tactics on display tonight,” I said, my

voice cutting through the silence. “Drugging your own daughter and a

potential ally? The Council would be fascinated to hear about this.”

Catherine stepped forward, her face contorted in a desperate attempt

to salvage the situation. “Sebastien, this is all a misunder-”

“Don’t waste my time,” I cut her off, not bothering to hide my disgust.
