Chapter 222 The Shattered Mask
Natalie’s POV
I sat there and I felt a bubble of genuine, hysterical laughter rising in my throat.
“Loretta,” I said, and this time my voice was still recovering from my laughter.

“Maybe you should go home and ask your son exactly who has been reaching out to whom. Ask him about the calls I won’t answer and also ask him why he’s been after me while he has a wife in his bed.”
Loretta’s face turned a ugly red.
“Don’t give me that!” she spat, her voice losing its lilt and descending into a hars snarl.
“When you were with Jensen, every transcription you made was by choice…you handed them over willingly.”
She said, pointing at me.
“You were his woman, weren’t you? And now you’ve got the nerve to demand payment? How can you even say that with a straight face in front of an elder? He supported you for five years, fed you, clothed you, and gave you a name. Now you’re trying to spin it like we took advantage of you? I can’t believe I never realized how calculating you really are under that pathetic, quiet act.”
Her words hit me like a physical weight.
“Loretta, I’ll admit it… everything I did for Jensen, I did willingly,” I said, my expression turning cold.
“I loved him. I wanted him to succeed. But that contract is void. We’ve broken up now, and as the creator, I have every right to take back what’s mine. And as for your claim that the pack supported me?”
I leaned forward, my eyes boring into hers. “Why don’t you do the math, Luna? My designs brought the pack connections… They built your current empire. If we’re talking about who is in whose debt, your son owes me a lifetime of interest.”
“Don’t twist the truth!” Loretta screamed, her composure finally snapping.
“Your designs only sold because my son helped make them succeed! He was the Alpha, the face of the pack if it had est been you, they wouldn’t have been worth a dime. My son married Sharon and still thought to keep caring for you, to keep you safe in hos shadow! And instead of showing a shred of gratitude for his mercy, you schemed against Sharon.”
Her voice rang across the café, drawing stares from every direction.
“Schemed? Sharon had been scheming against me for years.” I screamed back but she just shook her head.
“Shut up, you even sent a madwoman to the hospital today to try and kill her! Natalie. how vicious can you beet na make one thing clear to your black heart sharon is carrying Jensen’s child. The pack’s her if you dare try to hurt her or the pup agam. don’t blame me for what I’ll do to you I will wipe the stone name from the South myself
I froze
For a moment, the world around me dulled into static
The café disappeared.

Chapter 277 The Shattered Mak
All land hear was that sentence repeating over and over again inside my shop
Sharon is carrying Jensen
I stared at Loretta without blinking
Pregnant
Sharon was pregnant
My wolf let out a wounded sound deep inside me, and for one humiliating second, I hated that reader
Because what right did I have to feel hurt anymore?
I didn’t want Jensen.
I had already walked away.
I had chosen myself.
Chosen my children.
Chosen Baron.
And yet the knowledge still sliced into me like broken glass.
Not because I still wanted to be with Jensen… but because it proved just how deeply he had humiliated me.
While he was sleeping beside Sharon.
So it was true.
Jensen hadn’t just married her for gratitude but he had already slept with her.
And yet, even after he knew she was carrying his blood, he still had the gall to think about getting back with me?
I suddenly remembered the way Jensen had looked at me in the cafe that day
The desperation in his eyes.
The way he kept saying
“We can fix this”
Fix what?
His mate bond?
His mistress?
