Sold to Bastard Alpha after My Divorce! novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Chapter 107

Aria’s POV

The front door clicked shut behind us.

Home.

We were finally home.

I stood in the entryway of Cassius’s cottage, my hand still gripping Lina’s tiny fingers. My body felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. Every muscle ached. Every nerve was frayed.

What a day.

What an absolutely horrific day.

Lina tugged at my hand. "Mommy? Are you okay?"

No. I was very much not okay.

"I’m fine, baby." The lie came automatically. "Just tired."

I walked to the living room on legs that felt like they belonged to someone else. The couch called to me. Beckoned me with promises of rest and oblivion.

I collapsed onto it face-first.

The cushions swallowed me. Soft. Welcoming. I could have stayed there forever. Just sunk into the fabric and disappeared from the world.

Rebecca’s face flashed through my mind.

That smug smile. Those cold green eyes. The way she’d looked at Lina like she was examining roadkill.

*"Your child is defective."*

I pressed my palm against my forehead. Groaned.

Of all the people in this entire territory. Of all the parents at all the schools. It had to be HER.

Rebecca Silver Fang.

I’d only been in wolf territory for a few days. And already I’d run into Finn. Celestia. Their demon spawn Felix. And now Rebecca.

What was next? Was the universe going to drop Magnus Blood Crown on my doorstep too?

A bitter laugh escaped my throat. It hurt.

This was my life. A cosmic joke with no punchline.

Something soft pressed against my side.

I turned my head. Lina had climbed onto the couch beside me. Her small body curled against mine. Her dark hair tickled my arm.

"Mommy?"

"Yeah, baby?"

"I’m sorry."

The words were so quiet I almost missed them.

I pushed myself up onto my elbow. Looked at her properly.

Her little face was scrunched up. Those black-gold eyes—so much like his—were swimming with guilt.

"What are you sorry for?"

"For causing trouble." Her bottom lip trembled. "At school. With that mean lady. You had to leave work because of me."

My heart cracked right down the middle.

"Lina. Baby. No."
