Sold to Bastard Alpha after My Divorce! novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Kael’s POV

I hated waiting.

Moonlit Velvet. Blood Crown’s flagship establishment in Meridian Territory. Crystal chandeliers. Leather booths. Imported whiskey that cost more than most wolves made in a month.

I came here before every fight. Routine. Ritual. Whatever you wanted to call it.

Tonight should’ve been no different.

I slouched against the VIP booth’s leather, swirling expensive whiskey in my glass. Rebecca--my girlfriend stood across the room, practically draped over some new-money wolf whose name I didn’t bother learning. Her gold dress caught the light with every movement. Her body pressed against his.

I watched. Felt nothing.

Rebecca’s attempts at jealousy had stopped working years ago. Maybe they never worked. Our relationship was a game. Power moves and calculated risks. Nothing real.

I smirked into my drink.

"You’re not even trying," Rebecca complained, clicking back to me on heels that could double as weapons. Her red lips formed a pout.

I glanced at her over my glass. "What exactly do you want? Should I use my Alpha Voice? Make him grovel?"

Her pout deepened. "You’re so boring!"

I snorted. Turned my attention back to the crowd below. That’s when I saw her.

Shadow Moon trash.

She stood at the bar with another server. Laughing. The smile actually made her plain face almost interesting. Her uniform was that generic navy blue. Conservative. Buttoned to the throat.

Disgust twisted in my gut.

I remembered when the manager hired her. I’d almost had her fired on the spot.

"Why the fuck would you hire an Omega?"

"She looks good."

"She’s still an Omega."

"When that pretty mouth is wrapped around my cock, who cares what she is?"

The memory made me drain my glass.

"I think our spark is dying," Rebecca announced, sliding next to me.

I sighed. Poured another drink. "You say that every week, babe."

"This time I mean it." She leaned closer. "I think we need something... more."

I raised an eyebrow. Set down my glass. "More? Rebecca, we spent all of October having threesomes...or more? How much more do you want?"

She pressed against me. Her lips brushed my ear. "I want something extreme."

I leaned back. "Let’s hear this brilliant idea."

"We split up for a month." Her smile widened. "Each of us dates someone new. You mark them. I mark mine."

I stared. "You’ve completely insane."

"Come on! It’ll be fun." Rebecca grabbed my hands. "We always come back to each other anyway. Besides—if you say no, you’re basically rejecting my birthday present."

I rubbed my temples. Why did I put up with this?

"Fine."

Rebecca shrieked. Climbed onto my lap. Kissed me hard. "Thank you, baby!"

"I’m already regretting this," I muttered against her mouth.

"Okay, okay. Let’s pick targets!" She bounced with excitement.

Her eyes scanned the room like a predator selecting prey. "Not her. Not her. Oh—her!"

I followed her gaze. Nearly choked on my drink.

The Omega. The Shadow Moon server.

"An Omega?" Disbelief sharpened my voice. "Are you fucking serious?"

Rebecca nodded eagerly. "Yeah! I heard she’s different from her sisters. Can you imagine? She might actually give you a challenge."

"No." I shook my head hard. "I don’t touch Omegas, Rebecca."

"But she’s pretty," Rebecca argued.
