Chapter 10: BIANCA
Three hands, linked together on what I recognized as our kitchen table.
The caption read: “Starting the day with my favorite men. Grateful for every moment.
My favorite men. As if they belonged to her..
I stared at the screen as I walked toward the hospital entrance, my vision blurring with tears I absolutely refused to let fall.
I didn’t see the man until I collided with him.
It was like walking into a wall. His hand shot out automatically, catching my waist to steady me even as my phone clattered to the concrete.
“I’m so sorry, I wasn’t-” I started, as I pulled away regaining my footing before bending down to pick my phone at the same moment he did.
He got there first. As he straightened and handed it back to me, I saw his eyes move to the screen–to Mia’s post, still displayed there, that image of three linked hands burning into my retinas.
Something flickered across his face. Probably pity But it was gone before I could identify it.
“My fault entirely,” he said, his voice deep and sounded familiar even though I was certain we’d never met.
“I wasn’t watching where I was going.”
“No, I thank you-“I clutched my phone, suddenly hyperaware that a strange Alpha had just seen evidence of, my failing marriage, playing out on social media.
Then he was gone, and I was left standing in the entrance with my phone still displaying that damning image.
I deleted the notification with more force than necessary and shoved the phone into my pocket.
Inside, the hospital was buzzing with an energy I didn’t recognize. Nurses were gathered near the main station, eagerly gossiping instead of focusing on their jobs.
“mysterious Alpha” one was saying as I approached.
“nobody knows who’s treating him” another added.
“private wing, completely cordoned off”
