Jealousy Alpha's Regret novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95

Catherine’s POV

“She’s done this on purpose! Iris has deliberately ruined us all!”

Thomas snapped, his voice grating on my already frayed nerves.

“No, it’s that Grey boy’s fault! He never respected our family anyway,”

another relative countered.

I watched them bicker back and forth in our living room,

supposed adults of the Stone family, reduced to panicked, squabbling

wolves. My head throbbed as their voices grew louder, more

desperate. What good was all this finger–pointing? These idiots

couldn’t even manage basic pack unity in a crisis.

“What exactly do you all think you’re accomplishing?” I thought

bitterly. “These useless wolves can do nothing but blame each other.

Not one of them capable of actual solutions.”

I couldn’t take it anymore. With deliberate steps, I moved to the

center of the room and raised my voice. “Everyone, be quiet! Now!”

The room fell silent, all eyes turning to me.

“This constant bickering is getting us nowhere,” I said firmly. “We need a real strategy, not this endless blame game. We need to find a

way to get Iris back on our side.”

I felt a small rush of satisfaction as they quieted down, hanging onto

my every word. They were pathetic, but at least they still recognized

who was in charge. I’d been managing this family’s affairs since my husband’s brother died, and I wasn’t about to let it fall apart now.

“Catherine’s right,” Thomas mumbled from his armchair. “Fighting

amongst ourselves solves nothing.”

I barely acknowledged his support. Instead, I paced the floor, mind

racing. “We need to think of what we can offer Iris. Something to

make her reconsider her position and bring Grey protection back to

our family.”

My phone vibrated in my hand. Probably another creditor. We’d been

fielding calls non–stop since the Greys pulled their support. I glanced

down, ready to ignore it, when the notification caught my eye.

It wasn’t a call. It was a social media alert from the private werewolf

community forum: “Grey heir reportedly ends mating bond.”

My heart stopped.

“What is it?” Kim asked, noticing my expression.

I couldn’t answer. My fingers trembled as I tapped the notification,

scanning the post with growing horror. There were blurry photos of

Sebastien and Iris entering and leaving the Moonshade Bay municipal

building. The post claimed they’d gone to the werewolf council

offices inside.

“Oh my God,” I whispered, scrolling frantically through comments.

“Mom? What’s happened?” Kim was at my side now, trying to see my

screen.

I clicked on another discussion thread in the elite werewolf circles

forum:

“Sources confirm Alpha heir Grey has finally had enough of the Stone

girl. He’s filed to dissolve their mating bond. She tried to contest it,

but he was adamant.”

“Apparently she begged him to reconsider–embarrassing display at

the council office.”

“Not surprised. Everyone knew he never wanted her. Poor girl, but

what did she expect?”

I frowned, a flicker of confusion cutting through my panic. This didn’t

match what Iris had told me on the phone. She’d been adamant about

wanting the divorce, even threatened to sever all ties with our family.

“This has to be Grey propaganda,” I thought. “They’re trying to save

face for their precious heir. No Alpha wants to admit his mate left

him.”

But the photos were real enough. They had gone to the council office.

Whatever happened inside, the outcome was clear–their bond was

broken.

“Mom, is this true?” Kim’s voice sounded distant. “They’re actually

getting divorced?”

I couldn’t answer. My mind was racing through the implications. I

didn’t care who left whom–without the Grey alliance, the Stone

family was completely vulnerable. We’d already lost most of our

business connections. Now we’d lose our territory too. Other packs

were already testing our boundaries, and without an Alpha mate in

the family…

“We need confirmation,” I finally managed to say. “These are just

rumors.”

But I knew in my gut it was true. Iris had been pulling away for weeks.

And Sebastien had never seemed invested in their union to begin

with.

I barely slept that night. I kept refreshing the news feeds, waiting for

official confirmation, alternating between denial and panic. By

morning, my eyes were bloodshot, my hands shaky from too much

coffee.

When the morning news showed reporters camped outside Crescent

Design’s offices, I turned up the volume.
